When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

After returning to the Xie Mansion, Xie Guangting asked Jiang Song, Xie Yunni, Xie Changyu and others, all those who went to the Jiang family today, to be called to Yongshou Hall for questioning.

"Ni'er, shouldn't you be staying in the academy? What happened today?" Xie Guangting sat at the top, looking at his daughter seriously.

"This afternoon, I received a message from Changyu saying that her family was in trouble and asked for help immediately. So I brought my friends from the academy and rushed over to support them."

Xie Yunni glanced at Xie Ankang as she spoke, "I found the deserted house west of the city as indicated in the letter. Ankang was already waiting there. The criminals who intended to attack my Xie family tonight have all been subdued."

"Ankang handed me the confessions and physical evidence from the gang of criminals, and also gave me a piece of paper that detailed the whole story. Only then did I realize that Du Shulan, that vicious woman, was also involved in the murder of my Xie family!"

"Later, we followed Ankang and subdued the criminals in another stronghold in the north of the city. We then took them to the Marquis of Anding's Mansion. You know what happened next."

"Ankang, how do you know the plan of this group of people?" Xie Guangting turned his gaze to Xie Ankang with some inquiry.

Xie Ankang looked calm as he met Xie Guangting's gaze and said, "Reporting to the master, it was the young lady who sent me to deal with these people."

Xie Guangting raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Song'er, are you involved too?"

Jiang Song stepped forward and bowed, "Father, this matter is indeed related to me."

This matter involved many things, and it was difficult for her to hide it even if she wanted to, so she had no choice but to tell the whole story.

"On the Dragon Boat Festival, our house was attacked, and we killed sixteen of the Du family's descendants. I knew then that the vicious woman Du Shu Lan would not let it go and would definitely cause trouble again!"

"Sure enough, the next day, she sent Aunt Qiao to bring news that she was sending people to dig up my biological mother's grave. I suspected something was fishy, ​​so I secretly investigated and found out that Mrs. Du had been colluding with the remnants of the Shen family."

"They were lurking at my mother's grave, hoping to use the grave digging as bait to lure the Xie family out of the city so they could capture them all in one fell swoop. That's why I asked my mother to hold off on relocating my mother's grave."

"Jinghong? So... you also know about this?" Xie Guangting looked at Mrs. Xie who was sitting next to him, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Madam Xie nodded. "Yes, I know about this as well. Song'er was worried about our safety and told me about this specifically so that I could postpone the relocation of the grave to avoid falling into Mrs. Du's trap."

"Later, when they saw that their plan hadn't worked, they came up with another plan: tonight, they'd take advantage of the Du family's imperial edict banquet to attack our Xie family."

"I also accidentally discovered the two strongholds of the Shen and He families hiding in the west and north of the city. This must be God's blessing on our Xie family!"

Jiang Song told the whole story of how she discovered the two strongholds and how she got Xie Ankang to cooperate with her and subdue the criminals in advance.

Of course, she omitted the fact that she was a cultivator, and only said that Xie Ankang had a high level of cultivation and could fight against a hundred people alone.

Anyway, everyone in the Xie family has witnessed his strength, so what he said is still very credible.

"So, Song'er, you informed Changyu of the Du family's conspiracy and your plans early on, asking him to lend a hand at the critical moment?"

"Yes, father. Changyu has been doing business abroad for many years. He is knowledgeable and thoughtful. With his help, I can complete this task more smoothly." Jiang Song praised Xie Changyu without hesitation.

Xie Changyu smiled slightly. "Sister-in-law, you're too kind. This time, we are all thankful for Ruyi's presence. If he hadn't borrowed soul crystals from Tianbao Tower, we wouldn't have been able to expose the Du family's conspiracy to release ghosts and bring disaster to the imperial capital."

"Ruyi, you are usually very low-key, but I didn't expect that you would be so resourceful at the critical moment." Xie Guangting looked at Xie Ruyi with appreciation, with a meaningful smile on his face.

Xie Ruyi scratched his head shyly, "Hehe, I just happened to know the owner of Tianbao Tower. He owes me a favor, so he's willing to lend me the soul crystal."

"You are all great. You have all made great contributions this time!"

Xie Guangting smiled, a rare moment. "Especially Song'er, you are not only intelligent and brave, but also so calm and composed. It's really rare."

"This concerns the peace of my biological mother's soul and the lives of hundreds of people in the Xie family. As a member of the Xie family, I naturally cannot sit idly by."

Xie Guangting felt very relieved when he heard this.

He had agreed to let Jiang Song marry because a high-ranking monk had calculated that this woman would bring prosperity to her husband and children. Yan'er had been suffering from illness for many years, so perhaps this would bring good luck and help her recover.

Secondly, he had overheard Dean Qin of Fengwu Academy mention that Jiang Song was a promising talent, but was suppressed by his stepmother and ignored by his biological father. If he was carefully cultivated, he would surely become a great man in the future.

Now it seems that his vision is still good. This woman is not only not a burden, but has become the lucky star of the Xie family.

"Song'er, just tell me what reward you want. As long as my Xie family can afford it, we will never be stingy!" Xie Guangting said with a smile, clapping his hands.

"Father, today's incident was only possible thanks to everyone's concerted efforts. Song'er doesn't dare to take credit for it."

"Having said that, your contribution cannot be ignored."

Xie Guangting pondered for a moment, "How about this, your father will give you a house, a hundred acres of fertile land, ten shops, and ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry."

Jiang Song was shocked when he heard this.

This reward was too generous. She wanted to say something, but Chu Jinghong, Xie Changyu and others tried to dissuade her.

"Song'er, don't refuse. This is what you deserve." Chu Jinghong held Jiang Song's hand and said gently.

"Yes, sister-in-law, you have helped our Xie family a lot this time. It is only right that father rewards you." Xie Changyu also echoed.

Jiang Song looked at everyone's eager eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

When she first married into the Xie family, the Jiang family didn't even prepare a dowry for her. She had no choice but to stuff some of her biological mother's pocket money and belongings into a box and hurriedly married in.

Now, she not only gained respect and status in the Xie family, but also owned her own industry and wealth, which was something she had never dared to imagine before.

Even though Jiang Song has now earned a considerable income by plundering the remnants of the Shen family, as Mrs. Xie, it is the first time for her to own her own private property.

"Sister-in-law, tomorrow I'll take you to see the mansions and choose ten prosperous shops for you. Most of the land is in the suburbs of Beijing. When you're free, I'll go with you to see more. If you don't like it, we can change it."

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Changyu."

"We are all family, sister-in-law is too polite."

Xie Guangting also arranged the rewards for Xie Ruyi, Xie Ankang and others one by one. Everyone accepted the order with pleasure, and the Xie family was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Jinghong, you played such a big game with the children, but you kept it a secret from your husband. Isn't that really unkind of you?" Xie Guangting teased.

Chu Jinghong gave him a reproachful look, "Master, are you trying to blame me? This matter involves so many people that one mistake could easily alert the enemy. I was afraid that the news would leak out, so I didn't tell you."

"Besides, our Xie family is now a big tree that attracts the wind, and many people are secretly watching you. I am also afraid of causing you unnecessary trouble."

As Chu Jinghong spoke, he walked to Xie Guangting's side, straightened his clothes, and said softly, "Master, you won't blame me, right?"

Looking at his wife's gentle and docile appearance, most of the depression in Xie Guangting's heart dissipated.

He held Chu Jinghong's hand and sighed softly, "How could I blame you? You did this for the good of the Xie family."

After saying this, he glanced at his children and said seriously, "My children, you have all grown up and can stand on your own feet. Your father is very pleased."
