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

Liu rolled to the ground, her head buzzing.

The pain in her cheek took her a while to process. She stared blankly at Song Qingning, "You dare hit me!"

Song Qingning certainly wouldn't dare.

Especially in the palace, daring to hit someone, especially one's "mother," her path is probably over.

She's not stupid, nor has she lost her mind.

So she wasn't hitting Liu Shi, she was hitting mosquitoes.

"Mother misunderstood. There was a mosquito sucking blood, and Qingning saw it and killed it on the spot," Song Qingning said.

She lowered her eyes, as if stating a fact.

Liu didn't catch her sarcasm and was convinced that she was doing it on purpose, but then she suddenly realized that she had caught Song Qingning red-handed.

She's going to make a scene, a huge scene.

People need to know that Song Qingning is unfilial to her mother.

Liu's eyes flickered, and Song Qingning knew what she was going to do: make a scene, attract attention, and she would help her.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

The sound was loud and immediately attracted a crowd.

Officials and noblewomen all gathered around.

When everyone saw Liu Shi sitting sideways on the ground, her kingfisher feather crown, worn by a first-rank imperial consort, was askew.

"What's going on?" someone asked.

Seeing so many people, Madam Liu was determined to put on a grand show for Song Qingning. She couldn't take off her official robes, but someone else would do it for her.

"My daughter... hit me!" Liu tried to squeeze out tears.

The word "hit" brings to mind the competition at the willow-shooting field just now.

The official looked at Liu's face; there were obvious red marks, as if there was blood.

Madam Liu was waiting for everyone to accuse Song Qingning of being unfilial, but she heard someone say, "Madam, you misunderstand. Lord Song was swatting mosquitoes for you."

It was Meng Huaizhou who spoke.

Behind Meng Huaizhou, Xie Xuanjin and Xie Yunli walked over.

When Liu saw Xie Xuanjin, her blood seemed to freeze.

But she shouldn't be afraid at this time.

She's going to fight!

Before she could say another word, she heard the crowd say:

"He was swatting mosquitoes. You can see the bloodstains on his face; it's definitely mosquito blood."

"Lord Song's filial piety in not wanting his mother to be bitten by mosquitoes is truly commendable."

"Madam, having a daughter like Lord Song is truly your blessing. She even earned you the title of First-Rank Lady through her military merits. A daughter like that is not to be trifled with, but rather, she is not to be trifled with, but rather with her mother!"

They seemed not to notice the red marks on Liu's face.

After all, compared to the marks on Liang Xingjian's face, these red marks were insignificant.

It's simply that Lord Song used too much force.

But judging by intentions rather than actions, Lord Song's heart was good.

After the officials finished speaking, they left one after another, leaving only Xie Xuanjin, Xie Yunli, and Meng Huaizhou and his wife.

Liu stared wide-eyed in disbelief, completely bewildered.

Before she could even file a complaint, they dropped the matter.

They all seemed to fear Song Qingning, praising her for her commendable filial piety.

"Song..." Liu glared at Song Qingning.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Liu Shi!"

Xie Xuanjin's voice was filled with murderous intent.

A chill ran down Liu's spine, and she shrank back like a quail.

The group knew what had happened as soon as they saw Song Qingning's slightly disheveled collar.

Liu had always treated Song Qingning harshly.

Madam Meng Qi felt sorry for Song Qingning and said, "Qingning's clothes are dirty, I'll take her to change them."

As he left, he gave Liu a cold glance and said, "Second Madam Song, do you know what the consequences will be if you cause a scene in this situation? Do you think this palace is your Song family's private residence, where you can cause trouble as you please? Just damaging your official robes is enough for you to receive dozens of lashes."

Liu's face turned deathly pale.

I just realized I was too impulsive and almost got myself into trouble.

She lost her temper when she saw Song Qingning wearing Tang'er's official robes, and because she was so eager to trample Song Qingning into the mud, she didn't think about the consequences.

Everyone had left, and Madam Liu stood up.

The pain on her face made her gasp.

She is not reconciled.

He was unwilling to accept being slapped by Song Qingning, and even more unwilling to accept that he hadn't taught Song Qingning a lesson.

But Liu suppressed her resentment in the end.

At the palace banquet later, she wanted to push Yan'er to take the lead; that was the most important thing.

As for Song Qingning, once she returns to the manor, she will have to pay the price for that slap!

Madam Meng took Song Qingning to change her clothes.

Looking at the ripped wrinkles on her official robes, Madam Meng guessed what had happened. "How could she tear your clothes in public? If she really did, you are still a woman. How would you get married? She doesn't care about your reputation or your future at all."

"Thank goodness you hit her earlier!"

Madam Meng Qi was still not satisfied, and then she thought that Qing Ning had reached marriageable age.

I'm afraid Lady Liu won't care about Qingning's marriage.

"Qingning, don't be afraid. My Meng family still has some influence in the capital. At the very least, I will ask the Empress to make the decision for your marriage. We can't let Liu Shi make the decision."

The previous life was filled with mistreatment from the husband's family.

In this life, Song Qingning never thought about marriage.

All she wanted was revenge. Once her family was reunited, she would stay with her father, mother, and brother to make up for the lost time of their past lives.

"Madam, Qingning does not wish to marry," Song Qingning said.

"How can this be?" Madam Meng Qi exclaimed in shock. "Since ancient times, women have been expected to marry. If they don't, they'll be drowned in the gossip of the world."

That's true; the world offers women too few options.

Song Qingning thought, perhaps she could become a nun.

But saying this would only make Madam Meng more worried, so Song Qingning made an excuse, "Qingning will only marry someone she admires and is moved by."

"Alright, alright, let's see which lucky young man will capture Qingning's heart," Madam Meng said with a smile.

At this moment, a palace maid hurried in and handed over a box of ointment, saying, "Miss, your hand is injured."

Song Qingning then noticed a bloody mark on her left wrist, left from when Liu Shi pulled her earlier.

"Who sent you to deliver this?" Madam Meng asked.

The young palace maid's eyes flickered, as if she dared not answer, and she turned and ran away in a hurry.

……

Song Qingning kept thinking about who had sent the ointment until she arrived at Chonghua Palace, where everyone was already seated.

The Yongning Marquis's residence was located at the back.

Although she was in the back, many noble ladies and gentlemen were looking this way because Song Qingyan's pearl headdress was so luxurious and eye-catching.

Song Qingning sat next to Song Qingyan.

She wore very little makeup, which made her appear even more plain.

"The Yongning Marquis's mansion is indeed special. The eldest son's family and the second son's family are like nouveau riche and beggars, respectively," Shen Wan'er said sarcastically.

Seeing that her brother Shen Yue and cousin Prince Rui were both looking in that direction, Shen Wan'er's expression turned sour.

When Shen Wan'er noticed that Prince Huai, Xie Xuanjin, was also looking in that direction, her heart trembled violently.

She liked Xie Xuanjin, but Xie Xuanjin was indifferent to women.

In the past, Xie Xuanjin always drank alone at such banquets, never even glancing at any of the women.

But now, he's looking at... Song Qingyan?

At this moment, Emperor Yuan, seated on the main seat, spoke:

"Of my three sons, Qi'er is engaged to the Liang family, and the sixth son's marriage is also to be arranged, leaving only the fourth son."

"Xuan Jin, today is an auspicious day. Take advantage of this banquet to admire and choose a lady you fancy. I will bestow a marriage upon you on the spot!"

After the emperor finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone looked at Prince Huai, and their hearts clenched instantly.
