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

According to Song Qingyan's plan, if she is recognized by the Princess Consort of Yu at this moment, she should continue to deny it.

Princess Yu would have her paint a picture to determine if she was truly Mingyue Xian.

She is not afraid to paint.

Because Song Qingning was in the adjacent side room, she and her second aunt had arranged everything to ensure that nothing would be exposed.

"No, I am not," Song Qingyan denied with a smile.

Although she denied it, the subtle guilty conscience in her smile made people feel that she was lying and covering up.

He acted exceptionally well.

Next, she waited for the Princess Consort of Yu to ask her to paint a picture.

Just then, a maid rushed in to report, "Something terrible has happened! The Lady of the Marquis has vomited blood!"

Song Qingyan frowned.

The poison she prepared for the Lu family today will only be used by the people she arranged after all the guests have left.

Lu vomiting blood is probably due to her poor health.

She didn't care about the Lu family.

Princess Consort Yu was very concerned, "Why did you vomit blood? Have you called a doctor? Quickly take me to see the Lady of the Marquis."

"Your Highness..." Song Qingyan tried to stop her.

Princess Yu has not yet confirmed that she is Mingyue Xian, so she cannot leave now.

But she couldn't say it outright, so she could only make an excuse, "You haven't changed your clothes yet."

"Your clothes are almost dry from the journey, so you're fine. Let's go see your mother first." Princess Yu then stared at Song Qingyan, "Aren't you worried about her?"

"How could that be?" Song Qingyan forced a guilty smile.

There was no other way but to go and see the Lu family.

Song Qingning, from the side room, also rushed to the front courtyard flower hall.

When they arrived at the flower hall, the doctor had already arrived and was examining Lady Hou behind a screen.

The old Marquis also came after inquiring and sat in the flower hall.

A tall figure stood out conspicuously in the seat next to the old Marquis.

Prince Huai, Xie Xuanjin?

What is he doing here?

"Xuanjin? What brings you here?" Princess Consort Yu also saw Xie Xuanjin.

Her question immediately brought back memories of the scene from earlier for the female relatives present.

Lady Hou took a sip of tea and suddenly vomited a lot of blood.

Everyone was terrified.

In a flurry of activity, they tried to fetch a doctor, when someone suddenly said, "Report to the authorities."

Before long, the doctor arrived, and the officials also arrived.

His Highness Prince Huai came with the officials.

"The people from the Marquis's residence went to the Prefect of the Capital to report to the authorities, but the Prefect was handling a case and couldn't get away. I just finished my official business in the Prefect of the Capital, so I came to take a look on behalf of the Prefect," Xie Xuanjin said.

The officers outside gave him a surprised look.

The prefect was not busy and was able to free himself up.

When the Marquis's men came to report to the authorities, the Prince of Huai even explicitly instructed the Prefect to ask for leave and return home.

"How is Lady Hou?" Xie Xuanjin asked the doctor.

The doctor emerged from behind the screen, his expression grave. "Lady Hou has been poisoned!"

"Poisoning?"

Those present were shocked.

This is the Yongning Marquis's residence. The Marquis's wife was poisoned in her own residence, which may involve the Marquis's family's secrets!

"Someone is plotting to harm a noble lady. We must investigate thoroughly. First, investigate the servants of the Marquis's residence, then investigate the guests present. We cannot let a single one escape." Xie Xuanjin ordered.

His tone was calm, yet it instilled fear in people.

The officials obeyed the order and quickly brought all the servants of the Marquis's residence to the outside of the flower hall for questioning.

Liu looked at Lu, who was so weak she looked like she was about to faint, from beside the soft couch behind the screen.

She felt a great sense of satisfaction when Lu vomited blood.

But when the officials arrived, the pleasure was replaced by unease.

Liu tried to calm her unease, telling herself that Lu's poisoning had nothing to do with them.

She repeatedly instructed Yan'er to wait until the guests had left before poisoning Madam Lu. The poison would not kill Madam Lu, but would only cause her pain.

When Lu was poisoned, she took charge of the situation from the sidelines.

They wouldn't even call a doctor, let alone alert the authorities.

Let Lu suffer slowly.

But she didn't expect that before the guests had even left, Madam Lu would be poisoned and vomit blood.

The questioning from outside caused Liu's initial unease to quickly resurface.

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me... I didn't do it."

Suddenly, someone outside panicked, as if they couldn't withstand the pressure of being questioned.

The officers immediately locked onto her.

The maid was from Youlan Courtyard.

Under repeated questioning, the maidservant cried and confessed, "It was the eldest young lady. She ordered me to poison the Lady of the Marquis. It was the eldest young lady who told me to do it..."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at Song Qingyan.

Confusion, shock.

They then all took a step back without prior agreement.

Song Qingyan had initially remained uninvolved, but the maid's sudden accusation threw her into a panic.

Coming to her senses, Song Qingyan sternly rebuked the maid, "You're talking nonsense! She's my mother, how could I poison her?!"

"The Lady of the Marquis is the eldest young lady's mother, but the eldest young lady often curses the Lady of the Marquis." The maid said tremblingly.

Xie Xuanjin paused while sipping his tea, then looked up. "How should I curse?"

"The young lady said that the Marquis's wife did not break off the engagement for her and did not love her. The Marquis's wife deserves to die."

"They also said that the Lady of the Marquis is frail and sickly, and should just die sooner rather than later."

"And you also said..."

"Shut up!"

Song Qingyan and Madam Liu spoke in unison, interrupting the maid.

The two men were deathly pale.

Song Qingyan has said all of these things, so how can she let outsiders know?

The way the relatives present, including Princess Yu, looked at Song Qingyan changed.

Her curses were all about death; how much did she want the Lu family to die?!

Meanwhile, the officials went to Song Qingyan's residence and found a packet of medicinal powder.

That packet of powder was originally intended by Song Qingyan to be used by Madam Lu later.

The witnesses and physical evidence irrefuted Song Qingyan's innocence.

"Cough cough..." Lu's cough came from behind the screen.

She seemed to have suffered a great blow because her daughter hated her so much.

She struggled to support herself, and said with heartache:

"Yan'er, your marriage to the Jiang family was arranged by your grandfather, and you chose the man yourself back then. Although the Jiang family is somewhat impoverished, if you break off the engagement, people will say that you are a snob and that your reputation will be ruined."

"I was harsh on you, thinking it was for your own good, but I never imagined you would hate me so much."

"Even if you want me dead, you can't do it in a place like this. I guess I was the one who said those things to you. I shouldn't have said them, but... I truly care about you."

Lu's words were written with great difficulty.

The more difficult the situation, the more powerful these words become.

He led the crowd to condemn Song Qingyan.

"To poison her mother, what a heartless daughter!"

"How could the Yongning Marquis's mansion produce such a vicious woman, and she's even the legitimate daughter..."

The old Marquis, who had been sitting silently in the flower hall, was enraged at the mere mention of "the Yongning Marquis's Mansion," "the poisonous woman," and "the legitimate daughter."

"Song Qingyan is no longer the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion," the old Marquis said coldly in front of everyone.

Everyone was surprised and shocked.

What does the old marquis mean by this?

Liu and Song Qingyan also recovered from their earlier bewilderment. "Father-in-law, what...what do you mean?"

"Yes, Grandfather, what do you mean?"

The old marquis's anger surged even higher.

He glared fiercely at Song Qingyan, "You still have the nerve to ask me what I mean? You murdered your mother, do you want to ruin my Marquis's reputation along with you?"

"And you, Liu!" The old Marquis glared angrily at Liu.

"You were a wolf in sheep's clothing, trying to ruin your rich daughter. Now you've achieved your goal!"

"You've spoiled and instigated this perfectly good eldest daughter of the main wife. Since you love her so much, just acknowledge her as your second wife's daughter now!"
