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

Song Qingning jumped into the Jing River.

As she entered the water, she heard other people jump in from not far away.

Song Qingning dived into the water and saw a child of about eight years old; her heart skipped a beat.

Although she had never met Young Master Meng, she was absolutely certain that it was him!

Meanwhile, someone underwater was tightly wrapping water plants around Young Master Meng's legs.

A shocking truth flashed into her mind:

It wasn't an accident, it was murder!

In his previous life, the young master of the Meng family accidentally drowned, but little did he know that such a truth was hidden behind it.

Who would want to harm an eight-year-old child?

The man noticed Song Qingning and, not daring to linger, turned and fled.

Song Qingning had no time to chase after that person; saving him was the priority. She decisively drew her sword, cut through the water plants, and lifted Young Master Meng to the surface.

Xie Xuanjin jumped into the water with Song Qingning to save the person.

Seeing that the person had been rescued, Xie Xuanjin turned around and chased after the fleeing person.

After an incense stick has burned.

Xie Xuanjin grabbed the man and handed him over to Qin Zheng, the newly arrived official from the Capital City Bureau. "Keep a close eye on him. If he dies or escapes, you will be held responsible!"

"Yes." Qin Zheng accepted the order.

Song Qingning rescued the person, and the Meng family guards have already come looking for them.

Song Qingning wanted to leave, but a pair of short arms tightly hugged her legs.

The child's trembling body was filled with unease. "Don't go, sister, I'm scared..."

Song Qingning softened, stroked his head, and gently comforted him, "It's alright, we're up now, don't be afraid."

Meng Yushu looked up at Song Qingning and burst into tears, "I thought I was going to die, I almost died, I don't want to die, waaaah..."

"I want to eat Peking duck again, waaaaah..."

"I also promised my mother that when I grow up I would be filial to her and buy her roast duck, sob sob..."

"I also..."

He was clearly quite frightened after that dangerous encounter.

As she cried, a night wind blew, and Meng Yushu shivered from the cold.

"Sister, I'm cold, sob sob sob..." Meng Yushu hugged Song Qingning even tighter.

Just then, a voice rang out: "Meng Yushu!"

Upon hearing the sound, Song Qingning looked up and saw Xie Xuanjin.

He was soaking wet, but he didn't look disheveled at all.

The person who jumped into the water with her to save people was Xie Xuanjin!

Xie Xuanjin's voice seemed to have a strong intimidating effect on Meng Yushu, who immediately stopped crying and her body visibly stiffened.

"Come here!" Xie Xuanjin said again.

Meng Yushu was unwilling, but she still let go of Song Qingning.

Reluctantly and fearfully, she approached Xie Xuanjin and obediently called him, "Fourth...Fourth Brother."

Xie Xuanjin remained silent and wrapped Meng Yushu in his cloak.

Then, she asked a woman nearby to deliver a cloak to Song Qingning, saying, "Second Miss Song saved Yushu's life, so she is a benefactor of the Meng family. We will thank her handsomely another day!"

Song Qingning wanted to say that there was no need to thank her.

She saved Young Master Meng to repay the kindness shown to her by Vice Minister Meng.

But Xie Xuanjin had already turned around, picked up Meng Yushu with one hand, leaving her only with his tall and straight back.

Song Qingning put on her cloak, and Xie Xuanjin turned back again.

Xie Yunli also returned with him.

"Miss Song, Rou'an is on the pleasure boat ahead. She has brought clean clothes. You can go and change out of your wet clothes to avoid catching a cold." Xie Xuanjin's voice pierced through the night, deep yet melodious.

Xie Yunli hurried over from the painted boat.

Unexpectedly, it was Song Qingning who saved Meng Yushu. Xie Yunli looked at her.

He assumed that someone who could kill enemies on the battlefield and make great contributions must be a big, strong woman.

But the person in front of me was slender, with delicate features, and was truly beautiful.

"No..." Song Qingning wanted to refuse.

A cool breeze blew by, and he shivered noticeably.

Xie Xuanjin: "Second Miss Song, your health is of utmost importance."

"Sister, sister, go change your clothes. If you get cold, I, I..." Meng Yushu huddled in Xie Xuanjin's arms.

Her bright eyes looked at Song Qingning, filled with guilt and worry.

"Yes, yes, there's no one else on the pleasure boat, so no one will offend Miss Song," Xie Yunli said.

"Okay." Song Qingning did not refuse again.

She is indeed cold; her health is the most important thing.

Having suffered the pain of physical disability in her past life, with her hands and feet severed, she is particularly concerned about this body in this life.

There can be no mistakes!

She never expected that when she arrived at the pleasure boat, she would see someone she never imagined, and witness a scene she never expected.

On the painted boat.

Song Qingyan, dressed in red, chatted happily with Princess Rouan.

Xie Yunli went out to check after hearing the commotion outside. Although Song Qingyan was disappointed, she was certain that she had achieved her goal today based on Xie Yunli's reaction when they first met.

"Qingyan, Qingyan, may I call you Sister Yan'er?" Princess Rou'an also confirmed from her brother's reaction that the one who saved their mother was the young lady from the Song family.

He was exceptionally kind to Song Qingyan.

"This...the princess's status is so noble..." Song Qingyan hesitated.

"What does status matter? When making friends, what matters is sincerity and character. Status is the least important thing." Princess Rouan was straightforward and innocent.

"Sister Yan'er, you look so frail, yet you managed to rescue Mother from the fire. Sister Yan'er, do you know martial arts?" Princess Rou'an asked curiously.

Song Qingyan had anticipated their question and had already prepared her answer.

"My mother hopes I will grow up to be a well-bred lady and doesn't like me to wield weapons, so I learn them secretly but dare not make them public. Please keep this a secret, Princess."

Song Qingyan looked exactly like someone being disciplined and controlled by her parents.

Princess Rou'an understood best the helplessness of women bound by rules, and immediately promised:

"I will definitely keep this a secret for Sister Yan'er, and I will also ask my mother and brother to keep it a secret for you. Don't worry, Sister Yan'er, you are the one who saved my mother, and the Prince Yu's Mansion will definitely thank you properly."

"Thank you, Princess Rouan."

Song Qingyan smiled with satisfaction.

As long as that night is not mentioned again.

As long as Song Qingning doesn't notice, she can successfully replace Song Qingning and become the person who saved Princess Yu that night.

"Your Highness." A maid's voice came from outside the painted boat.

Xie Yunli is back!

Song Qingyan's heart was pounding.

She deliberately sat up straight, her smile elegant, wanting Xie Yunli to see her at her most beautiful.

But the next moment, when she saw the person entering the painted boat, Song Qingyan's smile suddenly froze, and her blood seemed to freeze.

"Song Qingning!" Song Qingyan exclaimed in surprise.

She clearly kept Song Qingning in the dark about Princess Rou'an's invitation to the pleasure boat today; there was no way she could come.

But why did she come?

Song Qingning was also surprised.

She wasn't surprised to see Song Qingyan here, but rather by the red dress Song Qingyan was wearing.

Red clothing tends to be neutral.

Half of the clothes prepared by Madam Lu were fashionable styles in the capital, while the other half were specially modified to make it easier for her to practice martial arts.

The one Song Qingyan is wearing is almost identical to hers.

And hers was in the trunk that Song Qingyan burned that day.

Is it a coincidence?
