When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

The night is as dark as ink, swallowing up all the sins and conspiracies.

The red-clothed paper figure moved through the streets in a strange manner, approaching the Xie Mansion silently like a ghost, and headed straight for the main house where Jiang Song was.

It came to the window silently, and its blank eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the gauze and look directly into the house.

After selecting its target, it gathered a cold black aura all over its body, and its body turned into several streams of black smoke, attempting to penetrate the window lattice and invade the house.

At this critical moment, a burst of azure lightning suddenly erupted in the house, instantly dispersing the black smoke that attempted to invade and turning it into nothingness.

Jiang Song suddenly woke up and sensed that the thunder lotus in his sea of ​​consciousness was shaking violently, as if it was reacting instinctively to the external danger.

She quickly sat up, took a few steps to the window, and pushed it open.

I saw a dark red afterimage falling from the sky and landing in the flowers outside the window, making a slight sound.

Jiang Song looked closely and saw only a broken paper figure emitting smoke.

The power of thunder and lightning burned several holes on the paper man's body, and the strange aura just now disappeared, leaving only a charred black area.

Jiang Song looked at the materials used to make the paper man and found them very familiar, and he couldn't help but be surprised!

Because, when Cui Yunniang was mysteriously ill and seriously ill, she had accidentally found a piece of paper very similar to this one in their courtyard.

She didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking it was left behind by Xiuyun or other servants when they were cutting something. But now it seems that it is not that simple.

Cui Yunniang's death was caused by an evil spell, and this paper man was obviously part of the spell.

Jiang Song quickly calculated in his mind, and a chill quietly crept up his spine.

It seems that the vicious woman Du Shulan can't sit still anymore and wants to use the same trick again to kill her.

But Jiang Song is not as weak and vulnerable as Cui Yunniang. Now she is no longer a Wuxia A'mon. Her five senses are sharp, and she is protected by the heavenly thunder spirit root. How could she be easily tricked?

Jiang Song sneered and was about to close the window when he suddenly saw a hint of unusual aura in the green smoke coming out of the paper man.

She frowned slightly, her mind moved, and she stretched out her hand and waved it lightly, and the breath was captured by her and entangled on her fingertips.

This aura was cold and strange, carrying a strong sense of malice and resentment, and was obviously left by the person who cast the spell.

Jiang Song closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, and he had a plan in mind.

"what--"

A shrill scream pierced the night sky, startling several night birds on nearby branches.

A long crack instantly appeared on the Black Witch's forehead, and blood gushed out. She felt as if struck by lightning, staggered back a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

The paper people beside the bonfire seemed to feel the pain of their owner and began to tremble. Some even caught fire and turned into ashes.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" the Black Witch roared, the oil paint on her face was mottled by sweat, and her eyes were full of fear and disbelief.

Her witchcraft has always been effective. Today, she hasn't even gotten close to the enemy, so how could it be backfired so easily?

Upon seeing this, Nanny Chang's expression changed drastically. She quickly stepped forward to support the Black Witch, "Master, what's going on? Didn't you say everything is under control?"

The Black Witch was panting, with blood oozing from the corners of her mouth. She pointed to the east with trembling hands, her voice filled with endless resentment and unwillingness.

"I was attacked by the power of thunder and lightning, but that girl... is actually protected by such a powerful spiritual power!"

"The power of thunder and lightning? Doesn't that mean..." Nanny Chang's face turned pale, and before she could finish her words, fear had already strangled her throat.

The Black Witch gnashed her teeth, "Yes, there's no mistake! That is indeed the power of thunder and lightning. I never thought that after a lifetime of dominating the world of witchcraft, I would suffer such a backlash today!"

She endured the severe pain, took out a black talisman from her bosom, bit her fingertip hard, and dripped blood onto the talisman.

The talisman instantly ignited with black flames, turned into a wisp of black smoke, drilled into the ground, and disappeared.

"Master, what are you doing..." Nanny Chang was stunned.

"Remove all witchcraft and cut off contact with the target, otherwise, we will be tracked by the power of thunder and lightning and die a miserable death!" The Black Witch's voice was low, and every word was filled with endless chill.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Chang did not dare to delay and immediately began to remove all the witchcraft traps that had been set up before, following the Black Witch's instructions.

After hiding in a safe area, Nanny Chang was still frightened. She looked at the Black Witch and saw that her face was pale and she was obviously seriously injured.

That night, I thought I had victory in my hands, but I didn't expect it to end up like this!

That bitch Jiang Song has been under her control all these years. Apart from knowing some martial arts and a stubborn personality, when did she acquire such a powerful force to protect her?

Could it be...

Suddenly, Nanny Chang seemed to have thought of something, and a sinister smile appeared on her face.

"Master, from what you said, you used the witch spirit to find out that the bitch has been sleeping with her short-lived husband these days?"

"Yeah, what do you want to say?" The Black Witch glared at Nanny Chang. Although she was weak, her fierceness remained undiminished.

"That's right. The power of thunder and lightning may come from her short-lived husband. Perhaps he is our real stumbling block."

"Ever since that sickly fellow contracted a strange disease, I've heard the Xie family has been hiring many extraordinary people to cure him. It's not impossible that those experts have set up some kind of protective talisman or exorcism array for him."

The Black Witch was moved by Nanny Chang's words. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, as if she had found a new breakthrough.

"If that's the case, then wait until I recover from my injuries before making any plans. I will repay you today a hundredfold!"

Nanny Chang curled her lips into a cold smile and echoed, "Yes, yes, yes! Master is wise. Let's avoid her for now. When the time is right, we will catch that bitch off guard."

In this way, even if she fails today, she will be able to give an explanation to the eldest lady.

The night is getting darker, and the sky is turning white.

Jiang Song stood in front of the window, looking at the night gradually disappearing in the distance, his heart in turmoil.

What a pity, it was still a step too late and the mastermind escaped.

However, if the other party fails to succeed today, he will definitely not give up.

And she, Jiang Song, would never sit still and wait for death!

After a long time, she gently closed the window and turned back to the bed.

At this time, Xie Changyan had slowly woken up. He looked calm, as if he was completely unaware of the incident that happened last night.

He stood up, put on his clothes, tied his hair, and put on jade... the whole set of movements was smooth and flowing.

"Song'er, are you worried about something?" Seeing Jiang Song standing beside the bed, Xie Changyan asked softly.

"No, I just couldn't sleep last night." Jiang Song forced a smile. "Why don't you sleep a little longer, husband?"

"I'm a light sleeper to begin with. I've gotten used to it over the years." Xie Changyan said softly, "But Song'er, come here and lie down for a while."

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to inform Mother that you're not feeling well, so you can skip your morning and evening visits."

"Husband, please don't be like this." Jiang Song shook his head gently. "Mother has just changed her mind about me. If I make excuses not to go now, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Okay, then remember to bring enough hand warmers and cloaks. The wind is still cold in the morning, don't freeze yourself."

"Oh, I see."

"Remember to drink a glass of the 'Three Friends of Winter' I gave you every night. It's a great product for calming the mind and warming the body."

"Don't worry, husband, I will do it."
