When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

"Daddy, I'm back!"

Jiang Jun walked into the study with a smug smile, and Bihe followed closely behind him, holding an exquisite gift box in her hand.

"Yun'er, you're back. How were the test results?" Jiang Buli put down the brush in his hand and looked up at Jiang Yun.

Jiang Jun smiled proudly, "Dad, I lived up to your expectations and won the 16th place in Class C."

"Oh? Sixteenth in Class C. Not bad, not bad." Jiang Mingyuan stroked his beard with a satisfied smile on his face. "What about Jiang Song? How did she do in the exam?"

Jiang Jun curled his lips into a cold smile and deliberately stretched out his voice, "Dad, you'd better not ask. Jiang Song—she failed the exam and didn't even make the list."

Jiang Buli frowned slightly. "Not on the list? How is that possible? That girl is usually very hardworking and studious, much more so than you."

Jiang Jun was secretly delighted, but pretended to be regretful and said, "My daughter also thought she could at least get into the B grade. Who would have thought... But father, Jiang Song has harmed my Jiang family to this point, why are you still thinking about her?"

Bi He also interjected at the right time: "My Lord, the Second Young Lady is right. I have also carefully checked, and Jiang Song's name is indeed not there."

Jiang Buli was silent for a moment, his expression growing gloomy. "Never mind. If that's the case, then it's her fate. Yun'er, you only got a C-level score. There's still a martial arts test to come, so you have to work harder."

"Yes, daughter understands." Jiang Jun nodded obediently, but felt extremely proud in her heart.

"My Lord, there are a few women outside. They say they are candidates from other places who have passed the exam and want to make friends with you."

Butler Jiang Dayang hurried into the study and interrupted the conversation between father and daughter.

Jiang Buli was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Oh? Is that true? Please invite them in."

Because of their involvement in the Shen and He families' conspiracy case, and the case of the mistress Du Shulan manipulating ghosts to harm the people, everyone in the imperial capital avoided the Jiang family. Now that Jiang Jun has made the list, some people actually come to make friends with them, which is really rare.

"Dayang, go to Xiangmanlou and invite two chefs to come to my house. I want to host a banquet tonight to entertain these guests who have come from afar."

"Yun'er, you should also get ready and change into some decent clothes. Don't be disrespectful."

Jiang Jun curled his lips in disdain, "Dad, why did you invite them here? They are just people who cling to the powerful and wealthy."

"Yun'er, you can't say that. The fact that they made the list shows that they have considerable talent and knowledge, and perhaps they can be of assistance to you in the future. Go and entertain them and find out more about them."

Although Jiang Jun was a little unhappy in his heart, he still agreed obediently and turned around to leave with Bihe.

She tossed and turned in the yard for a long time, until the maid came to urge her several times, then she slowly changed her clothes and went to the front hall.

At this time, the table was already filled with dishes, the aroma was everywhere, and Jiang Buli was chatting and laughing with several women.

Jiang Jun walked into the hall and glanced at several women, feeling a bit of contempt in his heart.

Although these women were well-dressed, judging from their demeanor and conversation, it was obvious that they were not from prominent families.

Come to think of it, if he really had a background, why would he be so eager to make friends with her Jiang family?

"Yun'er, you're here." Jiang Buli saw Jiang Yun and smiled, calling her over, "Come and meet these girls. Maybe you will be classmates in the future."

Jiang Jun forced a smile and bowed perfunctorily, "Hello everyone."

One of the women in a light blue dress stood up and bowed with a smile, "Miss Jiang, you are too polite. We are new here, so please take care of us."

"Ms. Jiang is on the gold list, which shows her extraordinary temperament and admirable character. We are lucky to have the opportunity to make friends with Miss Jiang." Another woman in goose yellow clothes also echoed.

Gold list?!

She only ranked sixteenth on the red list, grade C. When did she make it to the gold list?

Could it be that these country bumpkins didn't even look at the list carefully before making random compliments?

Jiang Jun sneered inwardly, but pretended to be humble on the surface. "You all have misunderstood. I only made it to the third place on the Red List, not the Gold List. How can we easily achieve the title of Gold List?"

"Huh? Isn't this Miss Jiang Song's residence? We clearly asked around and she's the daughter of a marquis."

The woman in the light blue dress looked puzzled, her eyes flicking back and forth between Jiang Jun and Jiang Buli. "Excuse me, young lady, what is your name?"

"I'm Jiang Jun, the second daughter of this Marquis' Mansion." Jiang Jun raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of impatience in her tone, "Who are you looking for?"

"Also, a reminder, the daughters of the Marquis of Anding are only my sister Jiang He and me, Jiang Jun. Don't try to claim kinship with anyone else in the Marquis' mansion."

The woman in the light blue dress was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed slightly. "It turned out to be Miss Jiang Er. We are so rude. We heard that Miss Jiang Song had passed the imperial examination, so we came to congratulate her. We didn't expect..."

"Jiang Song? On the gold list?" Jiang Jun's face suddenly changed, and a wave of disbelief and anger surged in his heart. "Are you telling the truth? Jiang Song... made the gold list?"

"Yes, Miss Jiang Song's name is on the gold list, and the news has spread throughout the imperial capital. We are candidates from other places and don't know much about the situation in the imperial capital. We only knew that Miss Jiang Song was from a marquis's mansion, so we came here rashly, but we didn't expect to recognize the wrong person."

Jiang Jun only felt a buzzing in his ears and his heart was in chaos.

Jiang Song...made it to the gold list?

How can this be?

Bihe clearly said that she did not see Jiang Song's name appear on the list, so how could he suddenly make it to the gold list?

Jiang Buli also noticed something was wrong. He asked in a deep voice, "You said Jiang Song passed the gold list? Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true, my Lord," the woman in the yellow dress replied respectfully. "On the gold list, only Miss Jiang Song's name is on it. We saw it with our own eyes, it can't be false."

"Miss Tian, ​​Miss Zhao, Miss Li, we've come to the wrong place. Jiang Song no longer lives in the Marquis of Anding's Mansion. She was hastily married off to the Xie family in the east of the city by the Jiang family's mistress!"

Outside the courtyard, a woman in emerald green clothes hurried in, her face full of apology and embarrassment.

"Oh, it's all my fault for not finding out everything beforehand. I made you all come here for nothing. The Jiang family has a bad reputation. Let's leave quickly."

The woman in emerald green clothes said this, and then she pulled the other women out, talking as they walked.

"I see. That's what I was saying. Miss Jiang Song has such an outstanding temperament. How could she be such a mean person?"

"Yeah, we even specially prepared gifts, what a waste."

"Humph, the second young lady of the Jiang family is obviously not a good person. It's better for us to have less dealings with her in the future."

Jiang Jun's face turned pale, his hands were clenched into fists, and his nails were almost embedded in his palms.

She watched the women leave and suddenly swept a table full of dishes to the ground. The sound of broken porcelain echoed in the hall, frightening the maids so much that they fell to their knees, not daring to make a sound.

"Snapped!"

Bihe was slapped hard on the face, and she staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.

"Bitch! What's wrong with you? Didn't you say Jiang Song was not on the list? Why is she on the gold list?" Jiang Jun's eyes were red as he glared at Bihe, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

Bi He covered her face with her hands, her face filled with fear. "Miss...Miss, I really didn't see Jiang Song's name! I saw it clearly, her name was not on the red list at all!"

"You still dare to quibble!" Jiang Jun was furious and raised his hand again, but was stopped by Jiang Buli.

"That's enough, Yun'er!" Jiang Buli said in a deep voice, "Isn't this embarrassing enough?!"

Jiang Jun's hands froze in mid-air, her eyes filled with resentment. "Bitch, go and find out for me what's going on with Jiang Song! How could she possibly make it to the gold list? There must be some mistake!"

Bi He kowtowed quickly, "Yes, yes, Miss, I will check it right away, I will check it right away."

After saying that, she ran out crawling and rolling.
