When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

"Sister-in-law, have you rented the mansion under your name to anyone else?"

That day, Jiang Song was studying "A Collection of Military Strategy Essays" in the courtyard when Xie Changyu suddenly walked into the courtyard and interrupted her thoughts.

Jiang Song looked up and saw that it was Xie Changyu. He smiled slightly, closed the book in his hand, and motioned him to sit down.

"No, I opened the Lingyun Pavilion."

"What? Lingyun Pavilion is opened by you, sister-in-law?!"

Xie Changyu couldn't contain his surprise, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

He had been inspecting salt fields in the northern border recently. As soon as he returned to the imperial capital, he heard of the great name of Lingyun Pavilion, which was under the name of the Xie family's business.

He originally thought that his sister-in-law had sold the mansion to someone else for business, but he didn't expect that Lingyun Pavilion was actually founded by his sister-in-law Jiang Song herself!

"Yes, Changyu, cultivation is very expensive, so I thought of opening a loft and doing some business to supplement the expenses of cultivation."

"Sister-in-law, the Xie family can afford to support you, why do you have to work so hard?"

Xie Changyu is a mortal, and he has no idea about the consumption of wealth in the practice of Taoism.

He firmly believed that the Xie family's background was enough for Jiang Song to practice without worries, without having to worry about spirit stones, let alone the trouble of opening a store himself.

Little do people know that the road to cultivation is long and the resources required are enormous.

Even a large family like the Xie family cannot fully meet all the needs of a cultivator, especially in terms of high-level cultivation resources and rare materials.

"Changyu, opening Lingyun Pavilion is my hobby, so it's not hard at all."

"Besides, through the Lingyun Pavilion, I can not only help many monks and sisters, but also accumulate merit and cultivation for myself. Why not do it?"

As Xie Changyu listened to Jiang Song's words, admiration gradually appeared in his eyes.

He had only known that his sister-in-law was extremely intelligent, but he had never expected that she had such far-reaching thoughts and courage.

He was able to create such a career that benefits female monks with his own efforts!

"Sister-in-law, why did you suddenly think of opening the Lingyun Pavilion? This idea is so unique!"

Jiang Song chuckled and looked into the distance.

"Changyu, I'm pregnant."

"The services and resources for pregnant women in the cultivation world are so scarce. I've personally experienced the difficulties of pregnancy, so I want to do something for other sisters in the cultivation world."

"Also, I also hope that our children can grow up in a better environment. So, Lingyun Pavilion was established."

Xie Changyu was stunned at first, then a joyful smile broke out on his face.

"Sister-in-law, you are pregnant? This is so great! I am finally going to have a nephew!"

"Sister-in-law, how are you feeling now? Have you used all the things from Lingyun Pavilion? Are they effective?"

Jiang Song smiled and nodded, with a gentle light in his eyes.

"I'm fine. Naturally, I'll be the first to try out Lingyun Pavilion's products and services. As for the results, just wait and see. When the children are born, you'll definitely be amazed."

Xie Changyu chuckled, his eyes full of anticipation.

He chatted with Jiang Song for a while, asked about some specific details of Lingyun Pavilion, and then said goodbye and left.

Jiang Song asked Xie Changyu to keep her pregnancy and the opening of Lingyun Pavilion secret in advance, and she would announce everything to everyone after the Fengwu Academy entrance examination was over.

Xie Changyu naturally agreed immediately, because he believed that his sister-in-law must have her own considerations and arrangements for doing so.

The imperial capital is filled with autumn colors, with red leaves filling the branches and ginkgo trees paving the golden road, adding to the charm of the ancient capital.

Jiang Song made his monthly store inspection, accompanied by Xiuyun.

The brocade sold in the two silk shops on Jinxiu Street all features the most fashionable patterns, with high quality and fair prices, and their business is as prosperous as ever.

This time, Xie Changyu introduced Xiangyunsha, Liaoling and Shanduan from the Southern Region. They were extremely popular among the ladies of the nobility and were often in short supply.

The cosmetics shop under Jiang Song's name is also widely praised because of the unique formula she provided. The rouge and powder it produces are bright in color, have a long-lasting fragrance, and can nourish the skin. Sales are also rising steadily.

Other shops selling medicinal materials, bookstores, teahouses, rice shops, porcelain, grocery stores and restaurants were also doing well and making considerable profits.

While inspecting, Jiang Song listened to the reports from the shop owners, nodded in approval from time to time, and offered some suggestions for improvement.

She had originally thought that if these mundane businesses were not managed well, she would switch to industries related to cultivation.

But it seems that these shop owners are quite capable at the moment. They manage their shops in an orderly manner and make good profits. There is no need to rush to change.

After all, these shopkeepers and clerks are all mortals, and their source of livelihood cannot be cut off.

"Xiuyun, I'd like to invite you to dine at Baiweizhai today, okay?"

Jiang Song was in a good mood. Xiuyun had just returned from an inspection trip to northern Xinjiang with Xie Changyu. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they wanted to get together and reminisce about the past.

Xiuyun's face showed joy, "Young Madam, this is really great! I was craving the signature dish of Baiweizhai."

The two talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at "Baiweizhai".

This restaurant is one of Jiang Song's businesses. It is famous for its rich and delicious dishes, especially its signature dishes, which are very memorable. It is a well-known restaurant in the imperial capital.

After entering "Baiweizhai", Jiang Song and Xiuyun were led to a private room by the window on the second floor.

The window faces a busy street. The autumn sunshine shines through the sparse clouds and shines on the street, adding a bit of warmth to this ancient capital.

"Young Madam, you seem to be in a particularly good mood today." Xiuyun said with a smile as she poured tea for Jiang Song.

Jiang Song gently stroked his bulging belly, his eyes tender and gentle, "Yes, everything has been going well recently, and with the arrival of these two little ones, I feel so happy."

"These two little darlings are truly blessed to be born into our Xie family and to have a mother who loves them so much like the young lady does. This is truly a blessing from their previous lives."

After Xiuyun came back, she learned about this great happy event and was happy for Jiang Song from the bottom of her heart.

The two smiled at each other, and then the menu came. Jiang Song ordered a few signature dishes, and specially added one of Xiuyun's favorite squirrel fish.

While waiting for the food to be served, Jiang Song asked, "Xiuyun, you've returned from Northern Xinjiang. Do you have anything new to share with me?"

Xiuyun thought about it and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Young Madam, the customs and practices of the Northern Frontier are indeed very different from those of our Central Plains. The salt fields there are vast and boundless, and the salt produced is as white as snow and of superb quality. Moreover..."

"Third sister, you look so happy that you are here to drink tea and have a meal?" A shrill voice sounded outside the private room, interrupting Xiuyun's words.

Jiang Song and Xiuyun were both stunned. They looked up at the door and saw a woman in gorgeous palace dress walking towards them. It was the second Miss Jiang, Jiang Jun, who had just been released from prison.

Jiang Jun's eyes were full of ridicule and disdain. She walked slowly into the private room and sat down at the table without waiting for Jiang Song's invitation.

"Miss Jiang Er, it seems a bit impolite to come here uninvited, doesn't it?" Jiang Song glanced at Jiang Jun with an unhappy look on his face.
