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

Song Qingning?

When Xie Yunli saw Song Qingning at the dining table, he realized that his fourth brother had not been eating breakfast alone.

He recalled the scene when he entered the room, and Song Qingning automatically filled in the image in his mind.

What followed was even greater shock.

"Fourth...Fourth Brother, you...you all..." A guess suddenly popped into Xie Yunli's mind, and he was so frightened by the guess that he stammered.

The "woman" he couldn't get any information about from his fourth brother before—could it be Song Qingning?!

First, they discovered that Mingyue Xian might be a woman.

The woman Fourth Brother was hiding was discovered to be Song Qingning!

Shocks keep coming one after another.

Xie Yunli felt a little dizzy.

He deliberately leaned against the table, needing to catch his breath.

Song Qingning did not make any noise on purpose, nor did she intend to eavesdrop on their conversation. Their voices were not quiet, and they were in the same space.

Xie Yunli's words entered her ears without warning.

The painting they were discussing was probably the one that Song Qingyan had stolen from her room not long ago.

Song Qingyan applied rouge to it.

Was she deliberately trying to lure Xie Yunli into discovering that she was Mingyue Xian?

Song Qingning disdained her methods.

Lost in thought, the porcelain spoon in his hand bumped against the porcelain bowl, making a crisp sound.

Yun Shizi's eyes seemed to indicate that he had misunderstood something.

Song Qingning stood up, wanting to explain.

Xie Xuanjin's voice rang out first.

"Uncle Tan, take the Second Miss back," Xie Xuanjin instructed Uncle Tan.

Song Qingning followed Uncle Qin out of the flower hall.

Xie Yunli's gaze followed Song Qingning's retreating figure until she disappeared from sight, but Xie Yunli still couldn't figure it out.

He stared at Xie Xuanjin in shock. "No, Fourth Brother, when...when did you start?"

Xie Yunli sorted out his thoughts.

Was it the night Song Qingning saved Yu Shu? Or was it that day at the City God Temple?

Or, what other times was there that he didn't know?

Xie Yunli's eyes were filled with shock and sorrow.

Xie Xuanjin knew that Xie Yunli had misunderstood, but he didn't want to explain.

Return to the table and continue with breakfast.

feeling good.

The breakfast prepared by the kitchen today was better than usual; it deserves a reward.

……

When Song Qingning returned to Jinxiu Pavilion, Song Qingyan was searching through her room.

Song Qingyan remained calm despite being caught by Song Qingning.

"What about the paintings you've been working on these past two days? Your second aunt told you to paint more. Don't think that just because you've become an official you can disobey your second aunt. In the Marquis's mansion, you need to be aware of your place," Song Qingyan said.

He's getting more and more arrogant, just like Liu Shi.

Song Qingning stared at Song Qingyan, "Aunt's condition worsened last night."

A hint of guilt flashed in Song Qingyan's eyes, disappearing very quickly, but Song Qingning still caught it.

Song Qingyan...she knew that the lotus seed soup was poisoned!

Song Qingning clenched her fists, her heart trembling violently.

After Song Qingyan's guilty conscience disappeared, she showed no remorse or worry. Instead, she sarcastically remarked to Song Qingning, "You seem to care about my mother, but I know what you're up to."

"You just want to please my mother so that she will give you some dowry when you get married."

"I advise you not to be delusional. That's my mother, not yours. Even if she's dead..."

Song Qingning's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Song Qingyan was frightened.

She recalled the terrifying force with which Song Qingning had grabbed her wrist, as if she were about to crush her, and Song Qingyan swallowed hard in fear.

In just a moment, the sharpness in Song Qingning's eyes lessened slightly.

Only then did Song Qingyan dare to put on her arrogant attitude again, warning Song Qingning: "My mother's private property belongs to me and my brother. No matter how much you wag your tail and beg, you won't get a penny."

Song Qingning lowered her eyes.

Song Qingyan thought that she had come to terms with reality and smiled with satisfaction. "Qingning, I'm advising you for your own good. Instead of trying to please my mother, you should listen to your second aunt and paint more pictures."

"What kind of painting do you want?" Song Qingning's voice was icy.

Song Qingyan's eyes lit up.

Yesterday she finally figured out how to obtain Mingyue Xian's identity.

She wants to use Xie Yunli!

She first smeared rouge on the painting to make it look like it was accidentally stained, and this morning she sent the painting to Prince Yu's residence.

First, let Xie Yunli "guess" that Mingyue Xian is a woman, and then gradually let Xie Yunli discover her. This step-by-step approach will not arouse suspicion.

By this time, Xie Yunli should have already learned from the gatekeeper that the painting was delivered by her.

Next, she needs to keep drawing.

Song Qingning's cooperation suited her even better.

Song Qingyan stated her request, then looked at Song Qingning with satisfaction, "That's more like it, Qingning. I consider you my own sister. Draw well, and I won't treat you unfairly."

As Song Qingyan turned to leave, a ruthless glint appeared in her eyes.

She knew that once she had secured her identity as "Bright Moon Fairy," Song Qingning's hands would have to be destroyed.

Only in this way can she feel safe and secure, without any threat to her.

Wait a little longer, let Song Qingning burn her embers again.

After she left, Song Qingning took out a drawing paper.

Song Qingyan wanted a painting, so she painted it for her. However, instead of sending her to the top, she pushed her into the mire.

……

Just as Song Qingyan had expected, Xie Yunli learned from the gatekeeper that Song Qingyan had sent a painting, and then asked Princess Rouan to deliver a visiting card.

Song Qingyan declined, citing the reason that she would be attending to Madam Lu during her illness.

She knew Xie Yunli was testing her, but she wasn't in a hurry. The more she refused, the more she would pique Xie Yunli's interest.

For several days in a row, Song Qingyan went to Jinxiu Pavilion every day to urge Song Qingning on the progress of her painting.

Inside the Lu family's main courtyard, the gate was tightly closed.

Nobody knew that Madam Zhang lived inside.

Liu was too arrogant.

She only symbolically found a doctor to "examine" Lu the day after he drank the lotus seed soup.

Following Song Qingning's arrangement, Lu lay in bed in a "weak" state, allowing the doctor to examine her.

After receiving the diagnosis that "Lu's condition has worsened and he needs to rest," Liu became certain that Lu had drunk that bowl of lotus seed soup.

Now that Lady Lu can't even get out of bed, it's impossible for her to attend the Dragon Boat Festival banquet.

Lady Liu was very pleased with herself.

This finally swept away the setbacks of the past few days and allowed him to focus all his attention on the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival banquet.

She prepared several outfits for Song Qingyan and took some pearls from the main storeroom, asking the craftsmen of Jinyuzhai to create a pearl headdress for Song Qingyan.

The old Marquis wants Yan'er and Jiang Sheng to get married this year.

Liu was depressed for only a few days. After recovering, she still didn't take it seriously.

As long as they are not married, there is always room for maneuver.

Yan'er is going to marry into a prestigious family, and the Dragon Boat Festival banquet is a perfect opportunity.

Moreover, when the acacia seeds were delivered, the person also included a letter.

Thinking about the instructions in the letter, Madam Liu felt much more at ease. As long as she did as the letter said, what did Yan'er have to worry about in the future?

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Song Qingning's paintings were all finished and taken away by Song Qingyan.

The day arrived, as agreed with Uncle Luo, to pick up the finished products from Jin Yu Zhai.

Early in the morning, Song Qingning went to Jin Yu Zhai.

In a private room on the second floor of Jin Yu Zhai, Uncle Luo personally handed the forged weapon to Song Qingning, when a voice was heard from downstairs:

"Where's Master Luo? Hurry up and bring out the pearl jewelry I ordered. We want to try it on. If it's not luxurious enough, we can add some more pearls."

Song Qingning's brow twitched.

That voice belonged to Lady Liu.
