When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

After Xie Changyan left, Xiuyun brought in warm water and helped Jiang Song wash up.

"Young Madam, did you not sleep well last night? Why do you look a little tired?" Xiuyun asked with concern when she saw that she looked unwell.

Jiang Song shook his head slightly and said nothing more.

She didn't want Xiuyun to be involved in all this trouble. After all, this girl was simple-minded, and knowing too much would be disadvantageous to her.

After washing up, Jiang Song changed into the lavender long dress that Xie Changyan had chosen for her, and put on a white fox fur cloak, which made her look more energetic.

She looked in the bronze mirror and carefully examined her makeup to make sure there was no flaw.

Mother-in-law Chu Jinghong is an extremely picky and rule-conscious person. As the new bride of the Xie family, she naturally cannot lose her sense of proportion in these small matters.

After everything was packed up, she took Xiuyun through the winding corridors and came to Yongshou Hall, the main courtyard of the Xie Mansion.

At this time, many people had gathered in Yongshou Hall. They were all women and maids of the Xie family. They gathered in groups of three or four, talking in low voices.

"Good morning, mother." Jiang Song walked into the hall and saluted Chu Jinghong who was sitting in the main seat with a smile.

Chu Jinghong was wearing a dark green long dress today, a dark cloak with gold edges on the outside, and a headband inlaid with red gold jewels on her head. She looked elegant and luxurious.

She sat upright in the main seat, with two maids standing behind her, gently massaging her back.

Seeing Jiang Song coming in, Chu Jinghong smiled, "Song'er is here, come and sit down."

She pointed to an empty seat below.

Jiang Song sat down as he was told.

"Song'er, I have invited a teacher to teach you martial arts strategies. After you come to pay your respects, you can go to the study and listen to the lecture for an hour. How about that?" Chu Jinghong said straight to the point.

Jiang Song's heart moved when he heard this.

It seems that my mother-in-law and sister-in-law have the same idea!

They were afraid that she would pass the martial arts section but fail the literary exam, so one of them gave her carefully compiled materials, and the other directly hired a tutor for her.

Jiang Song naturally had no reason to refuse. After all, this would greatly increase her chances of being admitted to Fengwu College.

"Thank you for your concern, mother." Jiang Song agreed with a smile. "I wonder when this gentleman will start teaching?"

"If you have no objection, we'll set it for tomorrow."

As Chu Jinghong spoke, he took out a gold-embossed note from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Song.

"This is the gentleman's business card. Take a look at it."

Jiang Song took the name card and unfolded it. It had the four big characters "Mr. Qingyun" written on it, and there was a line of small characters next to it, describing his background and experience.

It turned out that Mr. Qingyun was actually an old scholar who had retired from the palace. He once served as the emperor's teacher, teaching martial arts strategies to the royal children. Later, when he was old, he resigned and retired.

It is rare for the mother-in-law to invite such a person to teach her, which shows how high Chu Jinghong's expectations of her are and the effort he has put into this matter.

Jiang Song was grateful and respectfully put away the business card.

"Thank you, mother. I will study hard and live up to your expectations."

"Well, that's good." Chu Jinghong nodded with satisfaction. "I know you have a good foundation, and with Ni'er's help, as long as you are willing to study hard, it won't be difficult to get into Fengwu College."

"However, you promised me that you would win the championship. Please don't let my hopes be dashed and become a laughing stock." Chu Jinghong changed the subject, a hint of majesty in his tone.

Jiang Song's expression froze. She knew that her mother-in-law was warning her, reminding her not to forget her original promise.

"Don't worry, mother. Now that I have made a promise, I will do my best to fulfill it."

Speaking of Fengwu Academy, the eyes of those from the second and third houses all turned to Jiang Song. Some were envious, some were jealous, and some were a bit disdainful.

After all, in their eyes, Jiang Song was just a wild girl born to a concubine. Even if she married into their Xie family, it would not change her humble background.

To be honest, Jiang Song was just a maid that the eldest wife married to Changyan to bring good luck, so they didn't care much about her.

She thought that after Changyan passed away, she would be a widow and it would be hard to say whether she could stay in the Xie family.

Who would have thought that in just over a month, this lowly girl had already made her elder brother and sister-in-law look at her with new eyes.

Now, they are spending such a huge amount of money to support her to apply for Fengwu Academy. This kind of experience can be described as "soaring to the top"!

If he could really win the first prize in the Fengwu College entrance examination this year, he would be able to fly to the top and become a phoenix.

When she becomes the mistress and takes charge of the household chores, where will there be room for them?

Thinking of this, many people felt a sense of crisis, and their eyes looked at Jiang Song with more complicated expressions.

Jiang Song knew what these people were thinking, but she didn't care.

No matter how others try to control it, they don't want to control it.

She just needs to be herself and walk her own way, that's enough.

Jiang Song sat upright in the chair with a calm expression.

Afterwards, Chu Jinghong asked Jiang Song some details about the preparation for the exam. Jiang Song answered them one by one in a clear and organized manner, neither humble nor arrogant.

The more Chu Jinghong listened, the more satisfied he became, and his evaluation of Jiang Song increased a bit.

This daughter-in-law is not only beautiful and skilled in martial arts, but also so hardworking. She is truly a blessing to the Xie family.

When Chang Yan defended this girl so much, she even said some harsh words to her because of her background. Now it seems that she was a little biased.

After returning to the courtyard, Xiuyun began to get busy, preparing to stew medicinal food for Xie Changyan using the recipe taught to her by Jiang Song.

She had made today's dish of "Ganoderma Lucidum Stewed Pigeon" several times with Jiang Song, and had mastered the heat and seasoning just right.

Jiang Songze sat in front of the window and began to read the book "Selected Military Strategies and Essays" that Xie Yunni gave her.

These materials are all about martial arts strategies, and there are many annotations and comments from famous scholars. To her, they are simply priceless treasures.

She read with great interest, and from time to time she would pick up a pen to write down her thoughts and questions on the white paper next to her.

But today, affected by the thunder lotus, the spiritual energy in her body was a little agitated, and she needed to stop from time to time to regulate her breathing.

At this moment, the sun is shining on my head, and I feel dizzy and heavy.

Jiang Song rubbed his temples gently, feeling secretly puzzled.

Logically speaking, she is now at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and her five senses are much sharper than those of ordinary people, making her less likely to feel tired.

Why do I feel so dizzy after reading for a while today?

She put down the book in her hand, closed her eyes, and began to look inward into her sea of ​​consciousness.

The lightning lotus in the sea of ​​consciousness was still floating quietly, but the petals seemed brighter than yesterday, emitting a faint azure lightning light.

The mist that originally surrounded the thunder lotus had now dissipated for the most part, leaving only a thin layer that was barely visible.

Jiang Song's heart moved, and he tried to touch the mist with his mind.

Just when her thoughts were about to touch the mist, the mist suddenly surged violently, turning into a violent thunder, and suddenly struck her thoughts!

"Ah--" Jiang Song felt a sharp pain in his sea of ​​consciousness, as if he was struck by thunder, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
