When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

It was a moonlit night with heavy frost. Jiang Song was concerned about Xie Changyan's frail figure, so he quickly welcomed her into the house.

Xiuyun tactfully went to the kitchen to prepare hot soup and snacks, and soon they were the only two left in the room.

Xie Changyan took off his outer robe and changed into light casual clothes, while Jiang Song was tidying up his slightly messy clothes.

The lights flickered, and the shadows of the two people intertwined on the wall, giving people the illusion that time was peaceful and quiet.

"Husband, why did you decide to come here today?" Jiang Song asked casually.

"What? Is it inconvenient?" Xie Changyan lowered his eyes and looked at her, with a deep meaning in his eyes.

Jiang Song chuckled, "Of course not. I'm naturally happy that my husband can come."

After that, she poured him a cup of hot tea and handed it to him.

Xie Changyan took the teacup, took a sip, his eyes flickering slightly, "Did your trip to the market go smoothly today?"

"It went pretty smoothly. I bought some daily necessities and did some shopping." Jiang Song mentioned it lightly without elaborating.

"Hmm." Xie Changyan didn't seem to want to delve into it. He put down his teacup, spread out the chessboard on the table, and played chess alone.

A lamp, a table, a chessboard for each person, Xie Changyan was alone in deep thought over the chess game.

Jiang Song sat quietly beside him, occasionally adding tea for him, or taking the military strategy book on the bedside table and flipping through it.

The room was quiet, with only the occasional sound of chess pieces falling and pages turning, but the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.

After spending so many times with Xie Changyan, Jiang Song has a general understanding of his habits, so he will not disturb his thoughts at will.

Whether Xie Changyan treated her as a background or as air, she didn't care much.

Anyway, she doesn't like to find topics to chat, so this way of getting along is just what she wants.

After an unknown amount of time, the white piece in Xie Changyan's hand fell, and the game ended.

After about an hour, Xie Changyan looked up from the chess game and saw Jiang Song still sitting beside him. "You haven't gone to rest yet?"

Jiang Song put down the book in her hand and smiled faintly: "My husband is still awake, how can I go to rest first?"

There is nothing wrong with his obedient appearance.

Xie Changyan looked at her steadily for a while, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his deep brown eyes.

He suddenly stood up, walked to Jiang Song, stretched out his hand and gently pulled her up, "It's late, let's go."

His fingers were slightly cold, and the moment they touched Jiang Song, his heart beat faster involuntarily.

She lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the fluctuations in her eyes, and replied softly, "Okay."

Following Xie Changyan's movements, she stood up and walked towards the inner room. Behind her, she could hear Xie Changyan's steady footsteps.

Jiang Song sat quietly on the bed, watching Xie Changyan blow out the candles in the room one by one, leaving only a dim light at the head of the bed.

The light was dim, but enough to illuminate each other's faces.

Xie Changyan sat down beside the bed and looked at her, a soft look flashing in his eyes. "Are you tired today?"

Jiang Song shook his head gently, "Not tired."

After saying that, she took the initiative to reach out and help Xie Changyan undress.

As the night deepened, the temperature in the room gradually rose.

The shadows of the two people intertwined at the head of the bed, and as the bed curtains fell, everything returned to calm.

The fourth watch drum sounded faintly, and the night was already very dark.

After all the trouble just now, Jiang Song had already fallen into a deep sleep, his breathing even and peaceful.

Xie Changyan half leaned against the head of the bed, gathering a gentle spiritual power in his palm and gently covering Jiang Song's chest.

"It seems that the Sunlight Gathering Wheel has integrated into her body quite smoothly."

Xie Changyan pondered secretly, and then concentrated on sensing the Moonlight Soul Condensing Plate in his body.

I wonder how long it will take for these yin and yang to become one again?

The next morning, the plum blossoms outside the window were still glistening with night dew, swaying gently and emitting a faint fragrance.

Jiang Song slowly opened his eyes in the morning light, only to see that the empty seat next to him was cold. Xie Changyan had gotten up and left at some point.

She got out of bed quietly, put on her outer robe, and walked out of the inner room. She saw Xiuyun waiting outside the door with a hot breakfast in her hand.

"Young Madam, you have worked hard. I have prepared your favorite glutinous rice porridge and side dishes, as well as freshly baked red bean paste buns. Eat them while they are hot."

Xiuyun said as she handed the tray forward, her face showing unconcealable joy.

Jiang Song took the tray, chuckled and joked, "Look at you, have you heard some interesting gossip again?"

Xiuyun scratched her head sheepishly and said angrily, "That's not gossip at all. The young mistress and the young master are in perfect harmony. I see it with my own eyes, and I'm happy for you in my heart."

Jiang Song's cheeks flushed slightly when he heard this, and he scolded her with a smile: "You little girl, you are becoming more and more disrespectful."

While they were having breakfast, Nanny Su, who was beside Mother-in-law Chu Jinghong, stepped into the room. She bowed and said, "Young Madam, Madam is hosting a banquet in the flower hall tonight, and she has asked this old servant to come and ask you to prepare something."

Jiang Song put down the chopsticks in his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth gently, "I understand. Please excuse me for making this trip. I will prepare everything in advance."

Nanny Su smiled sweetly, "Madam said, it's just a small gathering between ladies, so there's no need to be too extravagant, but it should be elegant and decent to reflect the style of our Xie family."

"I wonder if there's anyone on the guest list who needs special attention?"

Nanny Su thought for a moment and said, "Tonight's banquet is for the city's celebrities and prominent families. Some of them are visiting for the first time, so they need to be treated with special courtesy."

"Especially Madam Mu from Ningguo Mansion. She was also a top student at Fengwu Academy in her early years and has a close relationship with our Madam. However, due to their respective busy schedules in recent years, they have rarely visited each other. We must treat her well during this reunion."

Jiang Song took note of it carefully.

"Thank you for the reminder, Madam. I will pay attention to Madam Mu and will not be impolite."

When it comes to banquet arrangements, the first-class maids in the Xie Mansion are naturally adept at it. Jiang Song only needs to ask about the guests' preferences and ensure that everything is thoughtful and meticulous.

To put it bluntly, the mother-in-law made this arrangement today just to test Jiang Song's interpersonal skills and adaptability.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Nanny Su coming back.

"Madam Su, is there anything else you need to tell me?"

Nanny Su's face was heavy. "Young Madam, the servant just came to report that someone from your mother's family has arrived and is waiting in the reception room. I've thought about it and decided that I should inform you."

Jiang Song frowned slightly.

Someone's coming from the Marquis of Anding's residence? Could it be about what happened with Jiang Jun yesterday?

Jiang Jun got his comeuppance for gossiping behind someone's back. Does he have to go to Xie's house to demand an explanation?

Speechless!

"Thank you for letting me know, Madam. I will go to the living room to meet the guests now."

After saying that, Jiang Song turned around and gave Xiuyun a few instructions, asking her to prepare medicinal food for Xie Changyan according to the recipe. He then straightened his clothes and walked towards the reception room.

Jiang Song walked into the reception room, secretly thinking about how to deal with the situation.

In the hall, Jiang Jun, the uninvited guest, was chatting with the maid Fuxiao beside her, with a look of compassion on her face.

"...My third sister got married so hastily, and as her elder sister, I'm really worried about her, so I wanted to come and see if she's doing well. After all, we sisters love each other, so how can we lose contact just because she got married?"

Her voice was neither too loud nor too low, just right for Jiang Song who walked into the living room to hear clearly.

Jiang Song remained expressionless, but sneered in his heart.

Jiang Jun is really good at acting. It seems that she suffered enough at the hands of her little sisters yesterday.

What do you want to do by coming to Xie's house today?
