When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

Xie Yunni took Jiang Song's hand, walked out of Linglong Pavilion happily, and headed towards the newly opened rouge shop.

The streets seemed to be even more crowded with colorful clay figurines, sugar paintings, shadow puppet shows, and a variety of snack stalls. It was bustling and full of the flavor of life.

Xie Yunni and Jiang Song shuttled among the crowd, and were attracted by various novel things from time to time. Sometimes they stopped to watch, and sometimes they discussed in low voices.

The newly opened rouge shop is called "Taoyaofang". Its facade is decorated in delicate pink, just like peach blossoms blooming in spring, attracting the attention of many women.

The interior decoration of the store is also very dreamy, with pink gauze fluttering in the wind, and various exquisite rouge boxes hanging on the wall, each of which is as exquisite as a work of art.

The shopkeeper was a young and beautiful woman. When she saw the distinguished guest coming, she immediately came up to greet him with a smile.

"Welcome to Taoyaofang. You two ladies are truly naturally beautiful. You will definitely find your dream rouge here."

Xie Yunni pulled Jiang Song and excitedly shuttled between the shelves. From time to time, she picked up various rouge boxes to examine them carefully, and then brought them close to her nose to sniff their fragrance.

She turned to Jiang Song and asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of this color? Is it..."

As the two were talking, a sharp and abrupt voice suddenly rang out.

"You slut from Huayuefang, I was the one who spotted this box of 'Peach Blossom Drunk' first. Why did you snatch it away?"

Everyone in the store focused their attention in the direction of the sound.

Jiang Song and Xie Yunni looked at each other and then walked towards the sound.

In a corner of the store, two women were arguing over a box of rouge.

One is Liu Ruyan, a courtesan from Huayuefang, who is well-known in the imperial capital. Her song "Between Water and Clouds" is famous all over the world. She has a graceful figure and her eyes and eyebrows are full of charm.

The other was a noble lady dressed in luxurious clothes with an arrogant look on her face. She was accompanied by a girl of about thirteen or fourteen, who was timid and seemed to be frightened by the dispute.

Seeing more and more people gathered around, the girl's face flushed red. She pulled the lady's sleeve and whispered, "Mother, forget it, let's go to another place."

But the noblewoman was clearly still furious. She glared at Liu Ruyan and sarcastically asked, "What? The top performer at Huayuefang doesn't even understand these rules? Do you think you can touch anything from a place like this?"

Although Liu Ruyan was a prostitute, she was also a proud and arrogant person. She sneered and fought back unwillingly.

"Rules? In Taoyaofang, money is the rule. I haven't paid for this box of 'Peach Blossom Drunk' yet, and you haven't bought it yet, so how can I say I'm robbing you?"

"But you, you keep talking about how great Huayuefang is. Are you jealous that the sisters in my square are more popular than you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a whisper arose among the crowd of onlookers.

The lady's expression instantly became even uglier, and she raised her hand as if she wanted to slap Liu Ruyan.

However, her hand was firmly grasped by the other person's hand.

"It was just a box of rouge. I had no intention of arguing with you, but you looked down on me and insulted my dignity. How could I easily give in?"

"It doesn't matter whether I want this rouge today or not, but you are such an arrogant bitch, and I, Liu Ruyan, am not someone to be bullied!"

As Liu Ruyan spoke, she was about to call in the several strong men who were accompanying her outside the door. The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

The store owner and other customers all avoided the store for fear of being implicated.

Jiang Song also had a headache.

Usually when she encounters such a situation, she will avoid it if possible, because she really doesn't want to get involved in such trivial matters.

Unfortunately, the arrogant lady happened to be her aunt Qiao Wanyu, and the girl next to her was her fourth sister Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu had obviously seen Jiang Song as well. She widened her eyes and tugged at Qiao Wanyu's sleeve in surprise, "Mother, look, isn't that Third Sister?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Wanyu looked in the direction of Jiang Shu's finger and saw Jiang Song.

She was stunned at first, and then a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

Although Qiao Wanyu was very unconvinced, she did not want to expose her ugly side to Jiang Song, so she took the opportunity to back down and put away her anger.

"Hmph, you're lucky today. I won't bother with you." She glared at Liu Ruyan and turned her head away pretending to be magnanimous.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan knew it was time to quit. She gave Qiao Wanyu a cold look, turned around and walked towards the counter, "Boss, I want this box of 'Peach Blossom Drunk'."

Jiang Song placed a silver ingot on the counter and said, "Boss, please pack it up for this girl. Also, the rouge that the lady just liked will be charged to my account."

The shopkeeper saw this and immediately smiled. "Oh, this lady is really generous. Thank you for your patronage, thank you for your patronage!"

As she spoke, she quickly packed up both boxes of rouge.

Liu Ruyan looked at Jiang Song with some surprise, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes, "Thank you for your help, Miss."

Jiang Song smiled slightly and shook his head, "Miss, you don't have to be polite. It's just a small favor."

She didn't want to have too much interaction with Liu Ruyan, so after saying this, she turned around and pulled Xie Yunni to leave.

"Third sister!" Jiang Shu suddenly ran over and blocked Jiang Song's way.

Jiang Song stopped and looked at Jiang Shu in front of him with a gentle smile on his face. "Shu'er, what's the matter?"

Jiang Shu bit her lip, seeming a little hesitant, but finally spoke: "My mother is not like this usually. For some reason, she is particularly irritable today. You...you don't have to bother with her."

"Shu'er, why are you stopping them? Come here quickly!" Qiao Wanyu shouted dissatisfiedly.

Jiang Shu glanced back at Qiao Wanyu, then turned back to look at Jiang Song with a hint of apology in her eyes, "Third sister, I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay, Fourth Sister. I won't take it to heart." Jiang Song interrupted Jiang Shu with a smile and patted her hand gently. "Go over quickly and don't keep your mother waiting for too long."

Jiang Shu pulled Jiang Song to a secluded corner, her face full of seriousness, "Third sister, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Song looked at Jiang Shu's mysterious expression and couldn't help but feel curious. "What's the matter?"

Jiang Shu looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to them before she asked Jiang Song to lean over and whispered a shocking piece of news.

"Shu'er, you must be careful in the Marquis' Mansion from now on, and don't be reckless again." After hearing what Jiang Shu said, Jiang Song frowned and warned.

Jiang Shu nodded heavily, "I understand, Third Sister. I will be careful, and you should also pay more attention."

"Okay, we all have to be careful." Jiang Song said, gently shook Jiang Shu's hand, and then let go, "Go back quickly, don't let Auntie wait anxiously."

Jiang Shu responded, turned around and ran back to Qiao Wanyu.

When Qiao Wanyu saw Jiang Shu coming back, she glared at her and said, "You silly girl, why are you talking so much nonsense to her? Let's go!"

Having said that, he hurriedly pulled Jiang Shu away from Taoyaofang.

Jiang Song looked at their departing backs, a hint of deep thought flashing in his eyes.

She took a deep breath, turned and walked towards Xie Yunni, "Yunni, let's go."

Xie Yunni had been waiting quietly on the side. Seeing Jiang Song coming over, she smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go somewhere else."

The two walked out of Taoyaofang and continued strolling along the street.

The shops on both sides of the street are full of various novelties, which are dazzling.

However, Jiang Song had no intention of appreciating these prosperous scenes at the moment.

What Jiang Shu had just told her kept echoing in her mind.

"Third sister, do you know? I overheard the eldest lady talking to a mysterious woman. She mentioned a plan that seemed to be aimed at you."

"I couldn't hear clearly, but they mentioned your name and said they wanted to ruin your reputation..."

This Du Shulan is really vicious!

After failing to murder her with black witchcraft, he started planning a new vicious scheme so quickly. He really won't stop for a moment!

A hint of coldness flashed in Jiang Song's eyes, and he became secretly alert.

She knew she couldn't let her guard down now and had to remain vigilant at all times to deal with the crisis that might occur next.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think of this?" Xie Yunni's voice suddenly sounded, breaking Jiang Song's contemplation.

She looked up and saw Xie Yunni holding an exquisite little porcelain bottle and waving it in front of her.

Jiang Song smiled slightly, took the porcelain bottle and looked at it carefully, "Not bad, very exquisite."

"Then buy this and give it to my sister-in-law as a gift."

"Yun Ni, I already have a lot of gifts, there is no need to buy more." Jiang Song shook his head and put the porcelain bottle back in its place.

"Oh, sister-in-law, just accept it. I picked this porcelain vase especially for you. Look, it's small and exquisite, and it's convenient to carry."

Jiang Song felt warm in his heart when he saw Xie Yunni's persistence.

She knew that if she didn't accept the gift, Xie Yunni would probably keep pestering her.

So, she had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, I'll accept it. Thank you for your gift, Yunni."

As the sky gradually darkened, the afterglow of the setting sun spread across the earth, dyeing the whole world golden.

The crowds on the streets gradually thinned out, and vendors packed up their stalls, preparing to end their business for the day.

Jiang Song and Xie Yunni also ended their shopping trip, and the entire carriage was filled with their "trophies" of the day.

Xie Changyu had no place to sit and could only squeeze together with the driver pitifully, which made Xie Yunni laugh.
