Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

"Miss, that assassin last night was really powerful!"

Caiyun stood aside, helping Song Nianru to serve the dishes, and said enviously:

"I heard that every shot was incredibly accurate, hitting the foreigners' vital points without a single bullet being wasted. It's truly heartening!"

Song Nianru smiled and said:

"Why, do you also want to have such shooting skills?"

"Of course I did!"

Caiyun's eyes lit up as she said:

"If I had such ability, I would kill all those foreigners one by one. Humph, let's see if they dare to show off their power in our Yuncheng!"

Song Nianru said:

"How difficult is that? Just hire an instructor and I'll send you to the shooting range to practice."

"Really, Miss?"

Caiyun almost jumped up in surprise when she heard this:

"Can I really?"

"of course."

Song Nianru said, "When it comes to marksmanship, talent only accounts for half of it. The remaining eighty percent depends on hard work. As long as you are willing to work hard and practice, you can become a sharpshooter."

"But when that time comes, don't forget your revenge today!"

"I will never forget!"

Caiyun said with a firm face:

"Caiyun will remember the young lady's teachings in her heart. If I can master the spear technique in the future, I will definitely protect the young lady and the people of Yuncheng!"

"well said!"

A sudden sound of praise came from outside the door. Jiang Shangwen slowly pushed the door open and walked in. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and praised:

"Nianru, you are a maidservant with great ambition!"

Caiyun saw Jiang Shangwen come in and bowed, "Son-in-law!"

Then he left swiftly and swiftly.

Song Nianru: “…”

This is all the original owner’s fault.

The original owner had read some ancient young ladies and scholars' books in the past, and became suspicious, fearing that the maid around her would have an affair with the man she liked.

That's why Caiyun developed the habit of avoiding people, otherwise she wouldn't have insisted on staying at the Song family on the original owner's wedding night.

Jiang Shangwen didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

He sat down opposite Song Nianru, eating with her and chatting with her.

"Do you need my help with learning how to shoot? I have a few good friends in the army."

Song Nianru nodded and did not refuse his kindness.

Ever since she saw Jiang Shangwen appear behind Gu Lingxiao at the Paramount that day, she knew that the groom she chose was not that simple.

That's right, he is the legitimate eldest son of the Jiang family in Yuncheng, and the heir carefully cultivated by the eldest lady. How could he be useless?

She was just too lazy to ask.

Anyway, Jiang Shangwen never mentioned it on his own initiative. They each had their own secrets, and they both knew it tacitly.

"Where did you go early in the morning?"

Song Nianru only asked casually, but Jiang Shangwen raised the corners of his lips in pleasure:

"Go out for a walk and stretch your muscles."

Song Nianru looked up at him with a little surprise.

According to her assessment, Young Master Jiang didn't have any serious illness, nor was he poisoned. If he had to be ill, it was probably a mental illness or depression.

I simply don't want to live anymore.

So they don’t eat properly, don’t do their work properly, are unwilling to take medicine properly when they are sick, let alone take the initiative to exercise.

No wonder he volunteered to take the blame for the Jiang family in his previous life.

Song Nianru had attempted suicide herself in her original world, so she understood and respected it, and never thought of interfering. So why was this young master now, for some inexplicable reason, thinking of exercising again?

This is, you want to live again?

Since she wanted to live, she might as well help.

Song Nianru immediately helped Jiang Shangwen pour a bowl of soup and added a few drops of fairy pond water. She had to give him less, in case he wanted to die again one day, wouldn't it be a waste then?

It's troublesome for people to die.

The young couple finished their breakfast quietly, and Caiyun came in to clean up the dishes.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the courtyard, and a servant beside Jiang Shangwen rushed in in a panic:

"Master, something bad has happened!"

"What's wrong, Aaron?"

Jiang Shangwen frowned. A'long and A'hu had followed him for several years and they were not unfamiliar with the rules. Something must be wrong.

"Second Madam, Second Madam..."

Aaron took a few deep breaths before he finished speaking:

"Somehow the Second Madam persuaded the Old Madam to come and find... find a Taoist priest to come into the mansion. She said, she said the Eldest Young Madam was possessed by an evil spirit and they wanted to exorcise her..."

"Now, now it's running towards this yard. I asked Ah Hu to stop it, but I guess he couldn't stop it!"

"What?" Jiang Shangwen was startled, stood up suddenly, and slammed the table:

"Nonsense, she's just a concubine, how dare she touch the eldest young lady?!"

Before he finished speaking, a sharp voice came from the gate of the courtyard:

"Why don't I dare?!"

The second lady was dressed in black, supporting an old woman with gray hair and a headband, and she walked into the threshold with a menacing look.

Behind the two of them were her two daughters and a Taoist priest who looked quite immortal.

The Second Madam snorted coldly and pointed at Song Nianru:

"Look, old lady, this is the new eldest young lady of our Jiang family. Doesn't she look strange?"

She said proudly:

"Humph, I've secretly seen Miss Song when she came to the mansion before. She doesn't look like the same person as the one in front of me!"

After hearing what the second lady said, the old woman narrowed her cloudy triangular eyes and looked Song Nianru up and down as if she were looking at a commodity.

Now, apart from her paler skin and dark circles under her eyes, Song Nianru looks no different from ordinary people.

But the old woman looked at it for a while, then nodded:

"Well, the eldest young lady looks like she's been possessed by evil spirits. If we don't exorcise the evil spirits, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the entire Jiang family!"

Turning back, he asked the Taoist priest:

"Master Liaochen, please help me take a good look at what this evil thing is!"

The Taoist priest named Luochen looked at Song Nianru for a long time, and then made some calculations in a serious manner, then he flicked his whisk and slowly spoke:

"According to my observation, the eldest young lady has evil spirits entering her body and causing trouble. She needs to be exorcised immediately, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Jiang Shangwen took a step forward, stood in front of Song Nianru, and said coldly:

"Ridiculous! The eldest young lady has been living with me all these days, how can she be a ghost? If she really is a ghost, why am I still standing here?!"

His eyes were fierce as he stared directly at Madam Jiang:

"Grandma is old now. She should be enjoying her retirement in the other courtyard. Why does she have to come to the main courtyard and stir up trouble?"

This is a very impolite statement.

Madam Jiang's face darkened and she said sternly, "Jiang Shangwen, I am your grandmother. Everything I do is for your own good!"

The second wife quickly chimed in:

"Master, what you said is not right!"

"Although the old lady is not your biological grandmother, her love for the Jiang family is genuine. If you don't listen to her, outsiders will say that you and the master are unfilial. How will you inherit the family business and gain a foothold in Yuncheng in the future?"
