When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

Xie Changyan walked straight to the main seat and saluted his father.

Jiang Song stood beside Xie Changyan, bowed, and greeted Xie's father, "Daughter-in-law Jiang Song greets father."

Xie Guangting nodded slightly, his eyes stayed on Jiang Song for a moment, then moved away.

"Jiang Song is a good name. Now that you have married into the Xie family, you are a member of the Xie family. In the future, you must abide by the code of conduct for women, support your husband and raise your children, and expand the Xie family."

"A Song will definitely remember his father's teachings." Jiang Song lowered his eyebrows and looked submissive, putting on a gentle look.

Xie Guangting nodded and turned to Xie Changyan, "Yan'er, now that you've married, you've truly become an adult. Your father has no other requests for you. I only hope that you'll be in good health and live a safe and smooth life."

Xie Changyan said nothing, but nodded slightly to show his agreement.

His expression remained indifferent, as if nothing in the world could stir up any waves in his heart.

Seeing this, Xie Guangting didn't say anything more and sighed bitterly and helplessly.

He waved his hand, indicating that Jiang Song could get up.

Jiang Song stood up and felt a little sore in her back, but she still maintained a dignified posture and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Xie Guangting's gaze turned to Jiang Song again, and his tone softened a little.

"A Song, you've just married into the family, so there are many things you're not used to. But you have to remember that although the Xie family is large, the rules are few. As long as you abide by your duties, you'll naturally be able to live comfortably here."

"A Song will definitely remember her father's teachings, live peacefully in the Xie family, and fulfill her duties as a daughter-in-law."

Jiang Song offered a cup of tea to her father as a new bride's gift. She held the teacup in both hands and raised it above her head.

Xie Guangting took the teacup, took a sip, and then placed it on the coffee table beside him.

"A Song, you probably know about Yan'er's situation. I hope you can be more tolerant in the future." Xie Guangting said, with deep worry in his eyes.

Jiang Song's heart sank, she naturally understood what Xie Guangting meant.

Although Xie Changyan's appearance was beyond her imagination and made her happy, the rumors that he was suffering from a strange disease did not seem to be groundless.

Thinking of his overly fair skin, the faint medicinal fragrance on his body, and the fact that he hadn't spoken a word since we first met, he looked like a puppet, lifeless.

Jiang Song's heart tightened, and he wondered: What happened to Xie Changyan? Could he really be possessed by some evil spirit?

She didn't dare show any emotion on her face, "Don't worry, father. Now that Ah Song has married into the Xie family, she will stand by her husband's side through thick and thin. No matter what happens, I will never abandon you."

Xie Guangting smiled with relief. This daughter-in-law was very different from the one he had checked against before.

I thought she was a dull concubine's daughter, but I didn't expect her to be so sensible, intelligent and well-mannered.

"Okay, okay, then I feel relieved." Xie Guangting said several good words in a row, which showed that he was satisfied with Jiang Song.

When Xie Changyan heard Jiang Song's words, his eyes flashed slightly. He turned his head to look at Jiang Song, and there was a hint of strange emotion in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Where is your biological mother buried?" Xie Guangting suddenly asked.

Jiang Song was slightly stunned. "Father, my mother is buried near Jing'an Temple outside the city."

The original owner's biological mother was the concubine of Marquis Anding. After her death, she was not qualified to enter the Jiang family cemetery and could only be buried in a remote place outside the city, close to Jing'an Temple, which was considered a resting place with decent feng shui.

"Well, you and Yan'er are married now. Find a time to go back and pay your respects. It will also let your mother know that you have found a home now, so that she can rest in peace in her grave."

Jiang Song was deeply touched. He felt that although his father-in-law looked dignified, he was actually a very considerate and attentive person. He bowed and thanked him, "Thank you for your consideration, father."

Xie Guangting nodded and asked Jiang Song some trivial matters about his life in the Anding Marquis Mansion. Jiang Song answered them one by one, and his words and behavior were very appropriate.

After that, Xie Guangting asked her to leave. Jiang Songru felt as if she had been pardoned. After bowing respectfully, she turned around and left Yongshou Hall.

"Young Madam!" Xie Ruyi came forward with her usual warm smile. "Does the Young Master and the Old Master have anything else to say?"

Jiang Song nodded, "Yes, they are still inside."

It was then that Jiang Song noticed that there was another man dressed as a guard standing beside Xie Ruyi. He had a tall and straight figure like a pine tree, a stern face, and icy eyes.

Although he looked very handsome, the cold aura he exuded made people unconsciously want to keep their distance.

"Ruyi, who is this?" Jiang Song asked softly, trying to appear more friendly.

Xie Ruyi quickly introduced, "Oh, this is also the young master's personal bodyguard, named Xie Ankang. We have been by the young master's side since we were young, protecting his safety."

Upon hearing this, Xie Ankang just nodded slightly as a greeting and didn't say much.

His eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, which made Jiang Song feel a little uncomfortable, but she quickly adjusted herself and nodded to Xie Ankang with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ankang. Please take care of me in the future." Jiang Song said politely.

Xie Ankang nodded calmly without saying a word.

"Well, Madam, Ankang is just like that. He doesn't like to talk. Please don't blame me." Xie Ruyi tried to smooth things over, with a smile that showed a bit of helplessness and apology.

Jiang Song smiled and said, "It's okay."

The two personal guards, one named Ruyi and the other named Ankang, are quite matching names with good meanings.

Seeing that the two seemed to be waiting for Xie Changyan, Jiang Song did not disturb them any further. He and Xiuyun returned to their residence along the same route.

After returning to his residence, Jiang Song sat in front of the window, looking at the wintersweets outside, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Xie Changyan's beauty surprised and delighted her. She couldn't help but think of the passionate love affair last night, and a blush crept up her cheeks again.

His indifference, his alienation, and the vague morbidity in him made her want to explore and get closer to him.

It’s a pity that Xie Changyan is ill. Otherwise, such an elegant and celestial man would have already become a prominent figure in the imperial capital, admired by countless women.

At this moment, Xiuyun walked in with a plate of snacks and hot tea in her hands. "Miss, are you hungry? These are the snacks that the kitchen just made. Please try them."

Jiang Song came back to his senses, took the snacks and hot tea handed to him by Xiuyun, took a bite, and found that the taste was surprisingly good.

"Your cooking is excellent. Come sit down and eat with us."

Xiuyun shook her head. "Miss, please eat. I've already eaten. If you like, I'll get you some more."

"No, these are enough." Jiang Song put down the snacks, picked up the hot tea and took a sip, then looked out the window again, as if he was lost in thought.

Xiuyun poured tea for Jiang Song, a smile on her face. "Miss, the maids here are so considerate. When I went to the kitchen just now, they asked me what you like to eat, saying they wanted to prepare something to your liking."

"It seems that the atmosphere in Xie Mansion is quite good." Jiang Song whispered to himself with a smile on his face.

Seeing her mood improve, Xiuyun also laughed, "Yes, Miss. Don't worry, we will definitely live well here."

In the past, in the Marquis of Anding's Mansion, the master and servant did not have such treatment.

Du Shulan drove them to a remote courtyard, where even the servants looked down on them on a daily basis, and it was common for them to lack food and clothing.

In contrast, in the Xie Mansion, although she knew that her husband had a hidden illness at the beginning of her marriage, at least life should not be too difficult.

"Xiuyun, from now on you have to call me 'Young Madam' instead of 'Miss', or else people will laugh at you."

Xiuyun smiled playfully and immediately changed her tone, "Yes, Madam. I'll make a note of it."

"Young Madam, I never thought our young master was so handsome. Even though he was ill, his dignified demeanor could not be concealed."

"When I saw him in the wedding hall yesterday, I thought it was a young master from the Xie family's side branch who was performing the ceremony on my behalf. I didn't expect it to be our legitimate young master. It was really a surprise."

"If the Second Young Master Mu from Ningguo Mansion were here, he would probably be ashamed of himself for not being as graceful as our young master."

Xiuyun said excitedly, with admiration in her eyes.
