When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

The two men quickly looted all the valuables from these people and then began to interrogate them.

Jiang Song asked Xie Ankang to bring the leaders of the group into the house one by one, take out a pen and paper, and start recording their confessions.

"Tell me, who are you? Who ordered you to do this? Why are you gathering here?"

Although Jiang Song is not a professional interrogator, his methods of torture are not at all ambiguous.

With the help of the elixir Truth Serum, they quickly got the information they wanted from the criminals.

It turned out that they were really instructed by Du Shulan to use this place as a stronghold, preparing to activate the killing array to kill the Xie family after the Jiang family ceremony.

Du Shulan promised that she would use her own methods to help them massacre the Xie Mansion and take revenge. After the task was accomplished, she would never interfere with this group of people's search for the Tianyantu, and would even let them leave the city through Jiang He's relationship.

These people had a blood feud with the Xie family and were originally desperate criminals wanted by the government. After being instigated by Du Shulan, they naturally agreed.

They originally thought that this operation was foolproof, but they didn't expect that they would fall into the hands of Jiang Song and Xie Ankang.

Jiang Song recorded the confessions of these people one by one and asked them to sign and seal them, leaving behind solid evidence.

For those whose bones were too hard, they simply cut off their heads and put them into storage bags, while those who were willing to cooperate were spared and tied up in the yard, awaiting further processing.

Xie Ankang sent a message to Xie Ruyi, asking him to quickly deal with the criminals in another stronghold in the city as these people had pointed out.

Before Jiang Song set off, he explained some things to Xie Changyu. I think with his ability, he should be able to handle it properly!

After doing all this, Jiang Song took out the gorgeous clothes he was going to wear for today's banquet from his storage bag and quickly put them on.

"Ankang, I'm going to the Jiang family now. I'll leave the rest to you!"

Xie Ankang nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Jiang Song nodded slightly and flew towards the Jiang family on his sword.

At today's Jiang family ceremony, she wants to see what kind of waves Du Shulan can make!

*

The Jiang family ceremony was held as scheduled, with many guests gathered and it was very lively.

Du Shulan set up ninety-nine banquet tables and invited all the dignitaries in the capital. For a moment, the Jiang family mansion was filled with people and the sound of stringed instruments was endless.

When Chu Jinghong and Xie Guangting arrived, it was an auspicious time, with cannons firing and streamers flying.

The two smiled at each other, walked into the lobby, and congratulated Jiang Buli and Du Shulan according to etiquette.

When Du Shulan saw the Xie couple, she looked disdainful, but in order to avoid being annoyed, she pretended to be enthusiastic and greeted them.

"Oh, my in-laws, you are finally here. You have kept me waiting for so long."

Chu Jinghong responded with a forced smile, "Madam Du is so glorious today, how dare my wife and I not come to congratulate her?"

Du Shulan laughed proudly a few times, "Haha, the Chu family's sister is still so good at talking! Please sit down, please sit down!"

Xie Guangting asked the butler to present the gift, "Master Jiang, congratulations."

Jiang Buli bowed in return, "Congratulations, Brother Guangting, it's a real honor to have you here."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then took their seats.

In the main house, King Jingyuan Ximen Liu had already arrived. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a noble temperament. He sat beside the main seat, observing the guests around him with an indifferent expression.

Chu Jinghong and Xie Guangting saw Ximen Liu and hurried forward to salute, "Greetings, King Jingyuan."

Ximen Liu was quick to help the two Xie family members stand up. "No need to be so polite, today is the Jiang family's grand ceremony. I am just here to join in the fun. You don't have to be so reserved."

It was really embarrassing. How could he make his senior brother's parents kneel down and pay their respects? Wouldn't that be too humiliating for him?

Chu Jinghong and Xie Guangting were slightly surprised. This King Jingyuan was indeed as the rumors said, humble and polite, unlike those arrogant and domineering princes.

Their impression of Ximen Liu couldn't help but improve a little.

Du Shulan couldn't help feeling a little jealous when she saw Ximen Liu being so polite to the Xie couple.

She hurried forward and tried to interrupt, "Prince Jingyuan, you've arrived just in time. There will be a wonderful performance later. You must enjoy it."

Ximen Liu smiled slightly and nodded in agreement, "Thank you for your hospitality, Madam Jiang. I will definitely appreciate it."

Du Shulan laughed triumphantly a few times, then winked at Jiang He, indicating that he should treat Ximen Liu well.

Jiang He understood and quickly stepped forward to chat with Ximen Liu.

Her mother had told her privately that Prince Jingyuan probably had a crush on her, Jiang He, which was why he visited the Jiang family so frequently. Although she was a little nervous, she was also full of anticipation.

Today she took off her military uniform and put on an exquisite embroidered long dress. Her hair was tied up high and embellished with pearls and jade. She looked gentle and charming, completely different from her previous heroic appearance.

"Captain Jiang, please don't get too close to me. Even though it's a bit noisy here, I can still hear you clearly."

Ximen Liu slightly turned his body, avoiding Jiang He's body that was too close without leaving any trace.

Jiang He was a little embarrassed, but still forced a smile, "It's He'er who is rude. Please do as you please, Prince Jingyuan."

Ximen Liu nodded slightly, his eyes casually sweeping across the crowd, as if looking for something.

At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.

"His Majesty has issued an order, summoning Du Shulan, the wife of the Marquis of Anding, to receive it!"

When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw a woman in palace dress walking in slowly, holding a bright yellow imperial edict.

Behind her were more than ten palace maids, each holding a tray with a peacock crown, a blue and red shawl, and all kinds of silks, satins, jewels and jades, which were dazzling.

When Du Shulan heard that it was His Majesty's order, her heart suddenly tightened, she was both excited and nervous. She quickly straightened her clothes, stepped forward quickly, and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I accept the order."

The woman in palace dress unfolded the imperial edict and read it aloud.

The general idea is that Du Shulan has trained Jiang He very well and has made great contributions in exterminating ghosts in the mass grave. She is specially awarded the title of Second Rank Lady and many items as a reward.

After hearing the imperial edict, Du Shulan's face was filled with smiles. She kowtowed and thanked the emperor, "Thank you for your grace. Long live the emperor!"

The woman in palace dress handed the imperial edict to Du Shulan, and signaled the palace maids to present the rewards one by one.

Du Shulan stood up, took the imperial edict and the reward, and felt extremely proud.

She finally got the title of Lady of Imperial Concubine. From now on, who would dare to look down on her in the imperial capital?

The woman in palace attire smiled and said, "Madam Du, from now on you will be a lady of the imperial court. You should put on this colorful crown and robe now to show your honor."

Du Shulan smiled from ear to ear and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder, auntie."

Du Shulan ordered someone to bring a bronze mirror and let the palace maids put on a colorful crown and a bridal robe for her.

Bin put on this luxurious dress and looked back and forth among the crowd, feeling that her status had become more noble.

"Madam Du is truly blessed to have raised such an outstanding daughter. Not only has she earned His Majesty's appreciation, but you have also been granted an imperial decree. How enviable!"

"As the Marquis of Anding, her husband treats her very well. He does whatever she wants and dotes on her. Her bad temper is probably caused by that doting, haha."

"Their second daughter is also going to take the entrance exam for Fengwu College this year, right? With such an outstanding older sister as a role model, she must be very talented and have a bright future."

The guests came forward to congratulate her, and their words were full of envy and flattery, which made Du Shulan even more elated.

She enjoyed this sudden honor and respect, as if the humiliation of being slapped, whipped, punched and kicked by Jiang Buli before no longer existed.

She looked at her husband Jiang Buli, and saw that Jiang Buli's face was also flushed. He was looking at her with a smile, and there was a rare hint of approval and tenderness in his eyes.

Du Shulan was extremely proud and felt that all this glory and honor was what she deserved.
