A wicked mother swaps her son and sucks his blood? The true legitimate daughter is reborn and goes o

Liu was locked in the ancestral hall overnight.

The old Marquis has declared that the matter will not be released until the investigation is complete.

The servants were talking about how Liu returned last night. They had never seen Liu like that before; she seemed to have been frightened silly by a vengeful ghost.

"Second Aunt, what exactly happened last night?" Song Qingyan came to the ancestral hall to see Liu Shi.

Through a crack in the window, Song Qingyan saw the terrified and trembling look in Liu's eyes.

"Second Aunt..."

When Song Qingyan pressed for more information, Madam Liu quickly interrupted her, "Don't ask anymore, Qingyan, don't ask anymore. Your elder brother... his hand is beyond saving, ah..."

Liu burst into tears, as if releasing a torrent of grief.

Last night, she was outside the Prince of Huai's residence, intending to provoke the Prince of Huai's anger towards Song Qingning and punish her.

Unexpectedly, he was suddenly kidnapped by a man in black.

The man took her to the Dali Temple prison, where she saw with her own eyes all kinds of people being tortured. Some were branded with hot irons, some were whipped, and none of them looked like human beings.

The scene was so horrific it was terrifying.

Lady Liu was terrified, especially by the man in black's words: "His Highness Prince Huai dislikes being schemed against. Once, someone schemed against him, so the Prince made him endure all the cruel tortures in this prison."

Liu fainted on the spot from fright.

How could she dare to plot against the Prince of Huai to force him to hand over the medicine to save Tang'er?

Even the thought of the name "Prince Huai" sent chills down her spine and terrified her.

"Poor Tang'er's hands," Liu sobbed.

He looked excitedly at Song Qingyan outside the crack, "It's not that I want to harm Tang'er, Yan'er, you have to believe me, someone must have tampered with the medicine."

"Second Aunt, I believe you. You always plan everything for my eldest brother. How could you possibly harm him?" Song Qingyan said.

Moved to tears, Madam Liu said, "Good Yan'er, I'm so glad you believed me. But what exactly went wrong with that ointment?"

Liu couldn't understand it.

Feeling guilty, Song Qingyan asked, "Was there something wrong with the medicine to begin with?"

"Impossible!" Liu denied.

Regardless of whether Madam Liu suspected the origin of the medicine, Song Qingyan was not here out of concern for Madam Liu, but for another purpose.

"My brother's hand won't heal, so the identity of 'Bright Moon Fairy' will be wasted," Song Qingyan sighed.

With her elder brother's hand crippled, the identity of Mingyue Xian naturally falls to her.

She needs Liu's approval to make plans for her.

Suddenly, Madam Liu became agitated. "No, Mingyue Xian's identity belongs to Tang'er. It should have been his three years ago. He waited for three years, and this is the result. How heartbroken Tang'er must be!"

Song Qingyan was furious.

Even at this point, Madam Liu still did not want her to take her place.

Liu's kindness to her eldest brother was so excessive that it made people suspect that he was not the legitimate son of the first wife, but rather Liu's son!

The thought flashed through my mind.

Song Qingyan kept her composure.

Only if Lady Liu takes the initiative to reveal Mingyue Xian's identity will Lady Liu be willing to help her afterwards.

If it's not hot enough, add more heat.

Song Qingyan didn't say anything. After leaving the ancestral hall, she went straight to the old Marquis's courtyard and knelt under the scorching sun.

After an incense stick has burned.

The entire Marquis's mansion knew that the eldest young lady had pleaded for Liu Shi's life, kneeling until nightfall, when she collapsed from exhaustion.

"The eldest young lady is truly filial and grateful; it's no wonder the second madam dotes on her."

The servants' praise for Song Qingyan spread throughout the entire Marquis's mansion.

Song Qingning simply smiled when she heard this.

She knew what Song Qingyan was after.

In her previous life, Song Qingyan held the title of county princess, and everything went smoothly according to her wishes.

In this life, the mere fact that she hadn't received the title of county princess had already thrown her into disarray, causing her to harbor greedy and wicked thoughts.

The deep bond between siblings is worthless in the face of desire; their relationship is more fragile than imagined.

Song Qingyan poisoned him so secretly that even if an investigation were conducted, nothing would be found.

Song Qingning has evidence, but she's not in a hurry to present it now.

and many more.

Wait until the time is right, wait until the conditions are right.

……

Song Qingning went to Zhucui Courtyard.

Today is the day Song Shiyin goes to Donghu Academy.

"I want to go to the academy after some time has passed," Song Shiyin said.

With Song Mingtang's hand crippled, Madam Liu was bound to take her anger out on others.

He worried that once he left, Madam Liu would vent her anger on Song Qingning.

He's in the Marquis's residence; he can take responsibility there.

"Opportunity waits for no one." Song Qingning was calm and rational.

Sending him to the academy was to allow him to avoid the Liu family and focus on preparing for the imperial examinations.

"Can……"

"Brother, only when you excel in the scientific expedition can you better protect us."

Only then can the day when the family is reunited come sooner.

Song Shiyin realized that she was referring to "we," but he didn't think much of it.

Under the long-term blows and torment of the Liu family, the fire in his heart had long been extinguished, but recently it has been faintly rekindled.

It was Qingning who lit it!

After returning to Beijing this time, Qingning seemed like a completely different person.

To be precise, she has returned to her original self, no longer blindly obeying Liu's orders, and has become more flesh and blood, like a real person.

She was rebelling against Liu Shi, but it was more like she was fighting against fate.

A seed took root and sprouted in Song Shiyin's heart: if Qingning was really fighting against fate, he wanted to fight against it with her!

Now, he needs to grow up!

Song Shiyin only brought a simple bag.

Originally, only Song Qingning saw him off, but as soon as he left the Marquis's mansion, Madam Lu rushed over.

"Shiyin, take good care of yourself while you're away from home," Madam Lu lovingly instructed him.

Upon learning that the opportunity to attend Donghu Academy was arranged for him by Madam Lu, Song Shiyin went to thank her.

That day, he heard her cough through the door, and his heart ached. "Auntie, please take care of yourself."

"I know."

Lu had many things stuck in her throat, but she didn't know how to say them.

She personally placed a package into the carriage.

Song Qingning and Madam Lu watched Song Shiyin leave.

After the carriage had been traveling for a long time, Song Shiyin opened the package and saw several newly made clothes, shoes and socks, as well as more than a dozen silver notes.

That strange feeling swelled up inside me, indescribable.

……

Song Qingyan eventually managed to persuade the old Marquis.

After being locked up in the ancestral hall for a day and a night, Liu was released.

When Lady Liu heard that Song Qingyan had fainted several times while kneeling in the old Marquis's courtyard for her sake, she was so moved that she wept bitterly.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Lady Liu went to Youlan Courtyard.

"Yan'er, I never imagined you would sacrifice so much for me. You are truly my good daughter." Overwhelmed with emotion, Madam Liu blurted out.

I only realized I'd let something slip after I said it.

"daughter?"

Song Qingyan was startled by her words.

Liu hurriedly explained, "What I mean is that although you were born to Lu, I have always treated you like my own daughter."

Song Qingyan harbored her disdain.

The wife of a concubine is of lowly status; how can she be treated as a biological daughter?

But because of Mingyue Xian's identity, Song Qingyan looked at Liu Shi with exceptional sincerity, "Second Aunt, you treat me better than my mother. In my heart, I have long regarded you as my mother."

"real?"

"Of course it's true, Mother," Song Qingyan called softly.

"Good, good, my dear Yan'er." Madam Liu was reluctant to part with that "Mother".

Her resolve to continue her long-held plan only strengthened.

She firmly believed that one day, Tang'er and Yan'er would rightfully call her "Mother".

At that time, everything in the Marquis's mansion will belong to her and her children, perhaps...

A tall and handsome figure appeared in Liu's mind. Perhaps she could fulfill her dream from her youth and take back everything that should have belonged to her.

And now.

Madam Liu made a decision: "If your elder brother's hand really can't be healed, then the only one worthy of Mingyue Xian's status is you."

Second Aunt.

Objective achieved!

"But Mingyue Xian belongs to my elder brother..."

"Your elder brother may not have that good fortune. If his hand doesn't heal, even with the identity of Mingyue Xian, he won't be able to maximize the benefits. But you are different. With the blessing of Mingyue Xian's identity, you will be the most honored person in the capital."

Liu realized her mistake.

Tang'er and Yan'er are a single entity.

She needs to consider the bigger picture in order to achieve what she wants as soon as possible.

"You don't need to worry about anything. I'll arrange everything and prevent any accidents from happening. As for the Crown Prince..."

Lady Liu thought of Song Mingtang's crippled hand, and then of Song Shiyin who was going to take the imperial examination.

"If the young master's hand is crippled, no one else will have an easy time either."
