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

Upon hearing that Liu had "ulterior motives," Madam Jiang immediately became wary again.

Unexpectedly, Madam Liu praised Jiang Sheng highly, saying, "Madam Jiang, I have high hopes for your son. He is very handsome and filial. I like him very much."

"I heard he's going to participate in a scientific expedition this year?"

Madam Jiang lowered her guard slightly.

Speaking of her son's academic achievements, Madam Jiang was full of confidence, "My Sheng'er will definitely win first place in this year's imperial examination."

"Then I wish your son the best of luck in winning the championship."

Liu smiled, then suddenly sighed and said, "You know, I also have a daughter. Although she is not as outstanding as her cousin, as a mother, I want to find her a good marriage no matter what."

"I value your son and intend to marry my daughter to him."

Madam Jiang's face turned pale.

That despicable Liu Shi, how dare she have such selfish thoughts!

"Impossible! The woman engaged to my son is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongning's family, not your daughter..." Madam Jiang stood up angrily, making no attempt to hide the disgust on her face.

"How could a daughter born of a concubine be worthy of my son? He's the top scholar in the imperial examination this year!"

Song Qingning sat on the roof.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

New top scorer?

In his past life, this mother-in-law didn't even know what kind of person her son really was!

Madam Jiang pinned all her hopes for the Jiang family's prosperity on Jiang Sheng's success in the imperial examinations, but unfortunately, Jiang Sheng was utterly incompetent.

His efforts and excellence were all an act in front of Madam Jiang.

When it came to the imperial examinations, his true nature could no longer be hidden.

In her previous life, she had just married Jiang Sheng when he failed the imperial examination. The mother and son then turned all their anger towards her, calling her a jinx and saying she was a jinx who ruined Jiang Sheng and the Jiang family's hopes.

"Madam Jiang, I'm afraid your son won't be able to marry the eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquis's main branch." The voice continued from the room, and Madam Liu's tone suddenly turned cold.

"You want to break off the engagement?!" Madam Jiang glared angrily at Madam Liu.

Madam Liu softened her tone, "Madam Jiang, please calm down. Even if the engagement is called off, it's not something I can control."

"Yan'er's mother is the daughter of Grand Tutor Lu. The Lu family has always been very proud of themselves and looks down on the Jiang family, which is normal."

"Does the Lady Hou want to break off the engagement?" Madam Jiang caught the key point.

Madam Liu sighed, "I advised her that since the two families have made a marriage agreement, they should honor it. The most important thing is to keep one's promises. Besides, Jiang Sheng has a bright future ahead of him, but she just wouldn't listen. She even said..."

"She also said that if the Jiang family really wouldn't let go of Yan'er, she would have the Lu family drive the Jiang family out of the capital."

Madam Jiang was so angry that she trembled all over.

"The Lu family...does she think the Lu family can control everything?"

Grand Tutor Lu had many disciples, and although he did not serve in the court, he still enjoyed great prestige.

Moreover, several of Grand Tutor Lu's sons still hold high positions.

If the Lu family were to truly take action against the Jiang family, it would be a piece of cake.

Madam Jiang's face turned deathly pale.

She hated Madam Lu to the core and was unwilling to let the marriage fall through.

"Madam Jiang, I value your son and believe he will one day achieve great things, but it is unwise to confront the Lu family head-on now!"

"So it's better to lie low."

"I will try to persuade Madam Lu again. If she can agree to change the marriage to my daughter, I will try my best to convince her to contribute some dowry. It would be a win-win situation."

"My daughter is also interested in your son."

Lady Liu persuaded her.

On the rooftop, Song Qingning finally learned how Liu had persuaded the Jiang family to agree to the marriage change in her previous life.

She poured the dirty water on the Lu family while pretending to be the good person.

No wonder Jiang Sheng hated the Lu family to the core when he mentioned them in his previous life.

But in this life, she will not let Liu succeed.

She doesn't want the marriage, and she won't let anyone try to smear the Lu family's reputation.

Inside the room, Madam Jiang hesitated for a long time before finally giving in.

The two reached an agreement that three days later, Madam Jiang would bring Jiang Sheng to her door and take the initiative to propose changing the marriage partner. Madam Jiang even took a step back.

They promised to keep the same story and say that Sheng'er and Song Qingning had secretly pledged their lives to each other.

By backing down, Liu promised to negotiate with Lu for half of the dowry.

Three days were given to Song Qingning to deal with the situation.

enough.

On the rooftop, Song Qingning got up and left.

My foot stepped on a tile and unexpectedly made a faint sound.

The next room.

Xie Xuanjin overheard the entire conspiracy next door and subconsciously thought of Song Qingning.

Jiang Sheng?

He'd never heard of this person. Was Song Qingning interested in Jiang Sheng?

Xie Xuanjin felt somewhat irritated.

Suddenly, a sound came from above.

Xie Xuanjin casually tossed the teacup in his hand, sending it flying towards the roof.

Song Qingning didn't think the soft sound under her feet would alert anyone, but when she stepped down again, there was a loud bang.

The roof collapsed.

Caught off guard, Song Qingning lost her footing and began to fall.

After a while.

The atmosphere in the room was eerie.

Song Qingning stood in the middle of a pile of broken tiles, while Xie Xuanjin sat on a couch.

The two saw each other, shocked and embarrassed, as if neither had expected such a situation.

"Your Highness, Prince Huai..."

Song Qingning awkwardly bowed, breaking the deadlock.

Fearing that Xie Xuanjin would misunderstand that she was eavesdropping on him, she hurriedly explained, "This humble woman did not know that His Highness the Prince of Huai was here."

Xie Xuanjin glanced at the hole in the roof and realized that Song Qingning was also eavesdropping.

Is she really that interested in Jiang Sheng? Does she need to hear it all with her own ears before she'll feel at ease?

Xie Xuanjin's face was gloomy.

"I didn't expect General Song to be in such a hurry to get married? Does my uncle know?"

He felt sorry for his uncle.

Fortunately, his uncle argued fiercely with the opposing officials in order to recommend Song Qingning.

His sudden, sarcastic remark startled Song Qingning.

He then realized that Xie Xuanjin had also overheard what Madam Liu and Madam Jiang had said.

"I will not get married, let alone marry Jiang Sheng!" Song Qingning said.

Her tone was firm, not showing any affection for Jiang Sheng, but rather disgust.

Xie Xuanjin suddenly realized that Song Qingning had not participated in the marriage exchange plot; on the contrary, she had been kept in the dark and was the one being schemed against!

It was Lady Liu who wanted to force Song Qingning to accept the unwanted marriage contract of her legitimate daughter!

Xie Xuanjin recalled Uncle Qin's words: "Miss Song, how pitiful!"

Just then, a noise came from outside the door.

The sound of the house collapsing earlier alerted the temple manager and Xie Yunli, who had just returned from seeking a peace charm.

"Fourth Brother..." Xie Yunli pushed open the door.

at the same time.

After Liu and Jiang agreed on their plan for three days later, they came out of the next room.

They also heard the noise and looked over curiously.

Xie Xuanjin and Song Qingning noticed the two people's gazes and their alarm bells went off simultaneously.

Almost at the same time, a thought flashed through my mind: I can't let them find out that Song Qingning is eavesdropping.

Xie Xuanjin stood up and strode towards Song Qingning.

After a moment of stunned silence, Song Qingning also mustered her courage and approached Xie Xuanjin.

The two moved nimbly, their coordination impeccable.

Before the people outside could react, Xie Xuanjin shielded Song Qingning behind him.

Song Qingning's hand gripped the fabric around Xie Xuanjin's waist.
