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

The small banquet to express gratitude was scheduled for the same day the imperial examinations ended.

These past few days, Song Qingning has been going to the Lu family's East Courtyard every day.

Zhang Niangzi said that a little exercise would help Lu's physical recovery.

Song Qingning then began to teach Lu some simple Eight Pieces of Brocade exercises to regulate the body, breath, and blood.

Although Lu could not practice for long, he tried his best to persevere.

Song Qingning also kept an eye on Song Qingyan.

Ever since Song Qingyan sent the painting out that day, and the Prince Yu's mansion sent people to add to the dowry, Song Qingyan has been very quiet.

Song Qingning saw the signal in it:

Xie Yunli has fallen for Song Qingyan's trap!

Song Qingning remained calm.

Xie Yunli took the bait, but she also had a way to get him off.

The day of the thank-you banquet.

Early in the morning, Liu asked Liu Mama to summon her to the West Courtyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, Song Qingning heard Madam Liu praying to Buddha, "May the Bodhisattva bless the young master, bless Yan'er, and bless all my wishes to be fulfilled. Song Shiyin is of lowly status and mediocre talent. May he fail the imperial examination and be rejected."

In her previous life, Lady Liu never worshipped Buddha.

She couldn't stop her brother from going on his scientific expedition.

Not long ago, he even invited a Bodhisattva statue to be worshipped and offered incense to it every day, making wishes every day.

Song Qingning sneered inwardly.

How dare she make such a wicked wish in front of the Bodhisattva?

If the Bodhisattva heard this, he would probably wish to strike her with a bolt of lightning, and would certainly not grant her wish.

"You're looking for me?" Song Qingning didn't call for her mother.

Liu frowned.

After kowtowing to the Bodhisattva and offering incense, Madam Liu turned to Song Qingning and said, "You will stay in the mansion today. I will have something to tell you to do, so you must obey."

Fearing she might disobey, Liu tried to win her over with sweet words.

"Qingning, your cousin is getting married soon. You are only a month younger than her, and you are already of marriageable age. After your cousin gets married, I will plan your marriage carefully and choose a good husband for you."

In her previous life, Lady Liu said that Jiang Sheng was a good husband.

"My cousin will marry a good husband. The day I took my brother to the examination hall, I met my cousin's husband. He was very confident, as if he would pass the exam with flying colors," Song Qingning said.

The words "brother-in-law" pierced Liu's heart like a thorn, and Liu's face changed drastically.

So what if it's Jiang Sheng High School?

With a mother and sister like that, neither of them would have a good life if they married into the family.

Liu stared at Song Qingning, pondering the possibility of having Song Qingning marry in her place.

Around noon, the relatives began to arrive.

Following Liu's instructions, Song Qingning sent someone to ask for leave.

She stayed at the mansion not to await instructions from Madam Liu, but for other matters.

Madam Lu left the courtyard today.

She was dressed in a light blue dress, and with a little makeup, she looked proper as a lady of the Marquis. However, her face was very pale, and without any makeup to cover it up, she looked even more haggard and sickly.

Even though she was weak, she still tried her best to serve the guests.

Princess Consort Yu also arrived.

Song Qingyan was somewhat disappointed that Xie Yunli did not come.

Lady Liu observed this and said, "This is not an occasion for men. The fact that the Princess Consort of Yu has come in person shows that Prince Yun values ​​you."

"If Princess Consort Yu believed in your identity as Mingyue Xian, then Prince Yun would believe it too."

Song Qingyan then suppressed her disappointment, stepped forward and bowed, "This humble woman, Qingyan, greets Princess Consort Yu."

The ointment that Liu gave her was very effective. Although her face was not completely healed, she could barely cover it up with a thick layer of makeup.

She was dressed very simply today.

She wore an elegant, moon-white dress, with only a few simple pearl flowers on her head.

She deliberately chose an elegant style to match the refined and otherworldly nature of "Mingyue Xian".

As expected, she received praise from Princess Yu, who said, "Miss Song's outfit shows some talent. Does Miss Song know how to paint?"

"I know a little, but I'm not an expert," Song Qingyan replied.

She deliberately kept a low profile, which suited Mingyuexian's low-key nature.

"I don't believe it."

Princess Consort Yu smiled and said, "Your mother is from the Lu family. Grand Tutor Lu was a great Confucian scholar of our time, and his late wife was also a woman of great literary talent. With such a bloodline, even if it is not good, it will not be bad."

"It's not that she's not skilled, it's that she doesn't know how. Her paintings are not presentable," Madam Lu said.

She once taught Song Qingyan to paint, but Song Qingyan couldn't learn it.

When she was a girl, her mother had taught her to paint, but she couldn't learn it.

They look so alike!

Lu blamed herself for not having thought about these things sooner.

She tried her best to suppress her emotions and prevent them from surging.

Today's matter is very important; she needs to pull herself together and get the results.

Even if Song Qingyan were to marry, she could not marry as the legitimate daughter of a marquis's family!

Put aside self-blame and atonement for now.

Her words displeased Song Qingyan, and she was about to get angry, but with all the relatives present, she had to maintain her composure.

"Mother, how can you say that to me?" Song Qingyan said coquettishly.

He harbored deep hatred for Madam Lu.

Madam Lu smiled faintly, "You, your ambitions are sky-high, you've always been like this since you were little. Now that you're about to get married, this kind of temperament will absolutely not work in your husband's family."

She continued to embarrass Song Qingyan.

It seems intentional.

But in the eyes of the ladies, it was concern for their daughters.

They all have children.

They all understood all too well how much the Lady Hou worried about her daughter.

"I've always been strict with my daughter. I was strict with her because I wanted what was best for her, but alas..." Mrs. Lu sighed.

These words bring to mind the trouble that Song Qingyan caused before.

She tried to steal the spotlight at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, but ended up making a complete fool of herself.

A while ago, for some unknown reason, I spent three days and three nights on the roof.

Princess Consort Yu frowned slightly.

Sensing the disappointment of the Princess Consort of Yu, Song Qingyan immediately tried to stop Madam Lu, "Mother, you..."

Seeing that Song Qingyan was about to lose her composure, Madam Liu hurriedly interrupted, "Qingyan, your mother truly wants what's best for you."

Liu gave Song Qingyan a wink.

Remind her that today's target is the Princess Consort of Yu.

As for the Lu family...

The poison prepared for her would be fed to her after the guests had left.

Consider this a lesson for her careless remarks today!

Song Qingyan softened, "I know my mother is good to me, and I always keep her teachings in mind."

She has a docile appearance.

Princess Yu could never muster any goodwill towards her.

Thinking of her purpose for today, Princess Yu suddenly spilled tea on her clothes. "Oh dear! Look at me, how careless of me!"

"Your Highness, please go to my room and change your clothes," Madam Lu suggested.

Princess Consort Yu turned to Song Qingyan, "May I have Miss Song take me to her room to change, Qingyan?"

This was exactly what Song Qingyan wanted.

Song Qingyan knew that the Princess Consort of Yu was testing her.

"Of course, I will take the Princess Consort there."

Everything was prepared in her secluded courtyard, enough to convince Princess Yu that she was indeed Mingyue Xian.

Song Qingyan led Princess Yu alone.

Upon entering Youlan Courtyard, Princess Yu looked around.

Upon entering her room, I saw a full set of painting tools, as well as several paintings that hadn't been put away yet.

Princess Consort Yu recognized it at a glance, "This painting...this painting is Mingyue Xian's, how come you..."

Princess Consort Yu was shocked, just as Song Qingyan had predicted.

"You... are Mingyue Xian?!"
