When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

After the Xie family left, Jiang Buli swung out a long whip and lashed Du Shulan with a "snap" sound, beating her skin and flesh to the ground and causing her to fall to the ground.

"Foolish woman! Foolish woman! What a good thing you did! My Jiang family's century-old foundation was almost destroyed in your hands!"

He was still not satisfied, so he whipped her several more times until Du Shulan was on the verge of death, and then he stopped.

Jiang Jun was so scared that he trembled and hid in the corner, not daring to make a sound, for fear that his father's anger would affect him.

Unfortunately, she could only watch her once high and mighty mother being whipped like a dead dog by her father, but she was powerless to do anything.

She hated Jiang Song, and hated her own incompetence even more.

Jiang Song, the mean girl whom she once looked down upon, has now become an indelible shadow in her heart.

Jiang Jun clenched his teeth, a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes.

She swore that one day, she would make Jiang Song pay the price!

"My Lord, my...my Du family, ten...sixteen elite disciples are all dead now, and you...you treat me like this?" Du Shulan lay on the ground, breathing weakly.

"If it weren't for the fact that we're husband and wife, I would definitely divorce you!"

"Your Du family is extremely ambitious and has always attempted to use the power of my Jiang family to seize the Xie family's assets. Now you have colluded with the Shen family to steal the Tianyantu. This is how you caused this situation. And you still have the nerve to question me?"

He squatted down, grabbed Du Shulan's chin, and forced her to look up at him.

"You're being stupid, but don't drag my Jiang family into this! From now on, my Jiang family will not get involved in your Du family's affairs!"

After saying that, he let go of her hand, wiped the blood off his fingers in disgust, and turned away.

This stupid woman!

The last time she was detained in the palace, he spent so much money to get her out, but she not only did not learn from the lesson, but became even worse!

Do you really think that Jiang Buli is a fool?

Du Shulan collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from her mouth, her eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

She had worked hard for many years, but ended up like this. It was really hard to accept.

These sixteen elite young men are all the children of her brothers and sisters from her mother’s side, and her nephews and nieces!

Now everything is ruined. How is she going to explain this to her parents?!

On the way back to Xie Mansion, Xie Guangting saw Xie Ankang covered in blood and asked with concern: "Ankang, are you injured?"

Xie Ankang shook his head, "No, this is all the enemy's blood."

"Ankang, thanks to you, my Xie family has avoided another catastrophe." Chu Jinghong knew the cause and effect of the matter and felt a little scared.

Xie Ankang glanced at Jiang Song and said calmly, "The Xie family took me in, so it's my duty to protect them."

Jiang Song asked Xie Ankang to take the credit. Her current strength was not strong enough to deal with all the troubles, and it would not be wise to expose herself too early.

Even though they all knew that there were members of the Du family among the criminals who attacked the Xie family, those people did not have anything on them to prove their identities. Without any evidence, the Du family could completely shirk responsibility.

Moreover, since he was in the Jiang family at that time, he was lucky to escape unscathed. If he continued to entangle with them, there was no guarantee that the Jiang family would not become desperate and fight to the death with them.

I’m afraid that the ones who will benefit at that time will be the aristocratic families hiding in the dark in the imperial capital.

I went to the Jiang family and got my identity documents back, which means my goal has been achieved. As for the accounts, there will be plenty of opportunities to settle them in the future.

The carriage slowly drove back to Xie's house. Everyone had their own thoughts in their minds, but they all tacitly agreed not to mention the matter again.

Upon entering Xie's residence, a strong smell of blood hit me in the face, all coming from the twenty-three gangsters who invaded Xie's residence.

The Xie family guards were cleaning up the battlefield and carrying away the headless corpses.

The servants were carrying buckets, brushes and other tools to clean the bloodstains on the ground.

Seeing Xie Guangting and others coming back, the guards and servants stopped what they were doing and bowed to them.

"Get busy, everyone has worked hard tonight. Tomorrow everyone will go to the accounting office to collect the reward of ten taels of silver." Xie Guangting said.

When everyone heard this, they all showed joy, thanked him repeatedly, and continued to get busy.

Xie Guangting looked at the mess on the ground with a frown on his face.

Although tonight's incident ended safely, it also exposed the Xie family's shortcomings in security.

"Ankang, please take a look at the materials we need and purchase them. We will set up some defensive and offensive formations for our mansion to ensure its safety."

Xie Ankang nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll start preparing in the next few days."

On the way back to their residence, Jiang Song and Xie Ankang walked together for a while.

Seeing that no one was around, Xie Ankang took out more than 20 storage bags and handed them all to Jiang Song. "Here, these are what we looted from the bad guys."

Jiang Song smiled, "Okay, I'll take it back and count it, then I'll give you half."

Xie Ankang is becoming more and more knowledgeable now. Today, she was busy going to Jiang's house and had no time to collect the spoils. Unexpectedly, Xie Ankang kept them all for her.

They have made another deal, it's time to divide the money!

"No, you can keep it." Xie Ankang refused without thinking, "The materials you used to set up the killing array these days are all top-notch and cost a lot of money. Just consider it as my compensation to you."

Hearing this, Jiang Song didn't bother to be polite and accepted the storage bag without hesitation. "Okay, then I won't be polite. I'll give you the extra money."

Xie Ankang looked at her and suddenly said, "You are very different today."

Jiang Song raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What's the difference?"

"You wouldn't have been so ostentatious before," Xie Ankang said, "and you certainly wouldn't have slapped Miss Jiang Er in that kind of situation."

Jiang Song laughed when he heard this. "People always change, don't they? Besides, some people just deserve a beating."

Xie Ankang looked at the smile on her face and felt a slight movement in his heart.

Then he suppressed this strange emotion and said, "You have changed, but for the better."

Jiang Song smiled and didn't respond.

It was already late at night when she returned to Xunmeiju, and Xie Changyan was actually waiting for her in the house.

"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Jiang Song asked while taking off his coat.

Xie Changyan put down the scroll in his hand, stood up, took Jiang Song's coat, and gently put it on the hanger, "I'll wait for you to come back."

"Oh, I should go take a shower. I just came back from an unlucky place."

He hugged Jiang Song from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder.

Jiang Song struggled for a bit, but couldn't break free, so he just let him do it.

Xie Changyan is really sick!

When he was disguised as Yun Miao, he avoided her like the plague, but now, relying on their status as husband and wife, he is so clingy.

If you really fall in love with such a masked person, you will definitely be very distressed.

Fortunately, although she had a physical obsession with him, she had no emotional entanglement.

Perhaps, Xie Changyan felt the same way towards her.
