When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

Suicide is something that is committed out of a desperate impulse. Now that Xuetuan interrupted them, the determination to die in Qiao Wanyu and Jiang Shu dissipated a lot.

Qiao Wanyu held Jiang Shu tightly in her arms with trembling hands, tears streaming down her face. "Shu'er, I'm too selfish. I shouldn't have led you down this path of despair."

Jiang Shu, in turn, comforted Qiao Wanyu, "Mom, this is not your fault. Perhaps it's not the most desperate time yet."

"Aunt Qiao——"

"Is Miss Four done with her hair and hair?"

Aunt Zhang's urgent shouts came from outside the house, breaking the brief silence in the house.

Qiao Wanyu was horrified and quickly hid Xuetuan under the bed. "Xuetuan, hide and don't make any noise."

"Bang!" The door was roughly pushed open by Nanny Zhang and several maids.

They rushed into the house, their eyes swept over Qiao Wanyu and Jiang Shu, and finally fell on the red wedding dress, with a hint of coldness flashing in their eyes.

"Aunt Qiao, what are you dawdling about for? It's time to dress up the Fourth Young Miss. The Mu family will be here soon."

Nanny Zhang spoke with a forced smile, her evil face looking even more distorted and terrifying under the dim light.

Qiao Wanyu forced herself to remain calm, protecting Jiang Shu behind her. "Madam Zhang, Shu'er isn't feeling well. Can you give her a few more days?"

"Hmph, a few days' delay? The Mu family can't wait! Aunt Qiao, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. The Marquis has already spoken. The Fourth Young Lady must marry today!"

As she spoke, she waved her hand to signal the maid behind her to come forward and force Jiang Shu to put on her wedding dress.

"presumptuous!"

"When will it be your turn as a little nanny to act wildly in my courtyard?!"

Qiao Wanyu rushed forward like a madman, trying to stop the old women from approaching.

But as a weak woman, she was no match for the strong women and was soon pushed away by them and fell to the ground.

"Mom!" Jiang Shu exclaimed and wanted to help Qiao Wanyu, but she was also held tightly by a woman and could not move.

"What the hell! You're just a lowly servant warming the Marquis' bed. Why are you pretending to be his mistress in front of me?"

"Bah! You lowly thing! Do you think you're someone important? Do you really think you're the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion?"

Nanny Zhang cursed viciously and stepped on the back of Qiao Wanyu's hand, crushing it hard.

Qiao Wanyu cried out in pain, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered, staring at Nanny Zhang with eyes full of unwillingness and anger.

"Hmph, that's right. Be obedient and avoid physical pain." Nanny Zhang released her feet and a smug smile appeared on her face.

She turned to look at Jiang Shu, her eyes full of contempt, "Fourth Miss, I advise you to be sensible and marry into the Mu family. Maybe you can enjoy a few more days of happiness. If you don't obey, don't blame us for being ruthless."

"Let my mother go!"

Jiang Shu struggled, trying to break free from the old woman's restraints, but her strength was too weak and she couldn't break free at all.

She watched Qiao Wanyu groaning in pain on the ground, her heart filled with helplessness and anger.

"Madam Zhang, aren't you afraid of retribution for bullying us mother and daughter like this?" Jiang Shu shouted gritting her teeth.

"Retribution? Humph, I've been in this marquis' mansion for so many years, what haven't I seen? I'm not afraid of retribution or not!" Nanny Zhang sneered and waved her hand to signal the old women to hurry up.

The maids began to force Jiang Shu to wear her wedding dress. Jiang Shu resisted desperately, but it was in vain.

The fabric of her wedding dress rubbed against her skin, like a sharp blade cutting her heart.

"Madam Zhang—"

A maid ran in hurriedly from outside the courtyard, her face pale and breathless, "No, I won't marry you, Prince Mu... Prince..."

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, then angrily asked, "What? You're not getting married? What's going on? Chuntao, tell me clearly."

Chun Tao took a few deep breaths before stammering, "Prince Mu...Prince Mu...he's dead!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang's eyes widened with a look of disbelief.

The old women also stopped what they were doing and looked at Chuntao.

"You...are you telling the truth?" Nanny Zhang grabbed Chuntao's shoulders and asked while shaking her.

Chun Tao was shaken until she felt dizzy. "It's true. I heard it with my own ears. Prince Mu was killed in the other courtyard. Now the Mu family is in chaos."

Nanny Zhang let go of her hand and glared at Chuntao fiercely, as if she was digesting this sudden news.

The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, and everyone was stunned, including Qiao Wanyu and Jiang Shu.

"Forget it, let's go! Lock this room for me and guard it well. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order!" Nanny Zhang waved her hand, signaling the old women to leave.

The old women woke up as if from a dream, and quickly let go of Jiang Shu and Qiao Wanyu, and hurriedly followed Nanny Zhang away.

The house returned to calm, with only the mother and daughter left hugging each other and crying.

"Great, Shu'er, we are saved."

On the other side, when Jiang Song's soul approached the Marquis of Anding's Mansion, it was blocked outside by a powerful ban.

She was shocked. The formation level of this restriction was actually above level six. She didn't dare to rush in rashly. She could only summon the spirit beast Xuetuan to find out what was going on.

Fortunately, Xuetuan was smart and used the earth escape technique to sneak a hundred meters underground and successfully entered the courtyard where Qiao Wanyu was, thus preventing the tragedy of Qiao Wanyu and Jiang Shu in time.

Being able to set up such a high-level restriction, the Jiang family is far from being as simple as she imagined. It seems that she has to be more cautious in the future.

She called back Xuetuan, and through Xuetuan's description, she learned that Mu Yuntao was dead and Jiang Shu and her daughter were temporarily safe, and she felt a little relieved.

To truly save this mother and daughter from suffering, we have to take a long-term view.

Jiang Song's soul returned to his body and he returned to the examination room.

At this time, it was already four o'clock in the morning. The sky was gradually turning pale, and the footsteps of patrolling soldiers could be faintly heard outside the examination room.

Jiang Song turned over gently, pulled the quilt to wrap himself tightly, so that he could get some more sleep.

As the Si hour was approaching, Jiang Song woke up from his deep sleep and felt that he had slept exceptionally soundly.

She stretched, sat up, and washed up briefly in the cell.

The so-called washing was actually just pouring some cold water from the kettle onto a silk cloth and simply wiping the face and hands.

The conditions in the examination room were simple, and Jiang Song did not expect it to be comfortable.

Storage bags and storage rings are not allowed to be brought into the examination room. All candidates can only stay in their own rooms and wait for the end of the examination.

During this period, eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping were all done in this small space.

"Boom boom boom!"

At the exact time of Si, the gongs and drums that marked the start of the second day of the written examination rang out on time, echoing over the examination room and making people's hearts skip a beat.

Immediately afterwards, an examiner came in with several soldiers, carrying several large boxes.

The big box was locked tightly and sealed, obviously to prevent anyone from cheating.

The examiner walked to the center of the examination room, looked around, and said loudly: "The second written test begins now!"

After saying that, he signaled the soldiers to open the big box, revealing piles of thick test papers inside.

The test papers were distributed to each dormitory one by one, and Jiang Song also got one.

She looked carefully and saw six big words written on the test paper - "Martial Arts vs. Current Affairs".
