When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

After doing all this, Jiang Song quickly cast a cleansing spell on himself, and the blood-stained clothes instantly became clean again.

She quickly walked to the bedside and looked at Xie Changyu who was in a coma due to drugs, with a frown on her face.

"Changyu, wake up!" she called softly, pouring out an antidote from the porcelain bottle and carefully feeding it into his mouth.

After a moment, Xie Changyu's eyelids trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Sister-in-law!" He called out in a daze, and then his eyes gradually cleared up. He saw that the person in front of him was Jiang Song, and he couldn't help but be stunned, "Sister-in-law? We, we were plotted against."

"Yeah, I know. Changyu, it's okay now."

As he spoke, Jiang Song helped Xie Changyu up, picked up the clothes on the ground, asked him to put them on quickly, and left together.

Xie Changyu looked around and saw that the house was in a mess and there was a faint smell of blood in the air. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"What happened here? Those people..."

"It's all been resolved." Jiang Song replied briefly, unwilling to go into details. He simply urged, "We need to leave quickly to avoid any complications."

Seeing Jiang Song's stern expression, Xie Changyu knew there must be something hidden, so he stopped asking and just silently cooperated and put on his clothes.

Jiang Song supported Xie Changyu, whose legs were weak, and climbed over the wall of the back hall and left Yuehua Tower quietly.

Not long after they left, thick smoke filled the back hall and flames shot up into the sky, and Yuehua Tower was immediately plunged into chaos.

"The fire is coming—"

Screams and cries for help rang out one after another, the guests fled in panic, and the scene was in chaos.

Jiang Song and Xie Changyu took advantage of the cover of night and quickly moved away from Yuehua Tower.

They passed through narrow alleys, bypassed the bustling streets, and finally came to a secluded corner.

"Sister-in-law, where are we going?" Xie Changyu asked breathlessly. His body had not fully recovered yet, and he seemed a little strenuous while walking.

"Let's find a safe place to hide first, and make plans after the storm has passed." Jiang Song looked around and answered in a low voice after making sure that no one was following him.

She brought Xie Changyu to an abandoned old house, which was desolate and dilapidated and had long been uninhabited. It was a good place to hide.

After entering the old house, Jiang Song helped Xie Changyu sit down, and then found some hay and rags to make a simple bed for him.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I was too careless and almost hurt you." Xie Changyu leaned against the wall, his face pale and his eyes full of apology.

Jiang Song shook his head. "It's not your fault. Those people are cunning and despicable. It's hard to guard against them."

Xie Changyu sighed, "Fortunately, sister-in-law, you are very smart, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Jiang Song smiled and didn't say much.

This time she was able to avoid being plotted against, thanks to Jiang Shu!

When I met Jiang Shu at Taoyaofang that day, she revealed some of the conversations between Du Shulan and the mysterious woman.

Although it was just a fragment, it made Jiang Song realize that there was a conspiracy against her and the Xie family.

Combined with the matter of selecting the imperial merchants, she quickly sorted out all the clues in her mind and finally understood the real purpose of those people.

Jiang Song has been cautious these days, so she was extra careful at today's banquet.

Sure enough, when the maids came to support Jiang Song, she secretly observed their hands and found that they all had calluses on their knuckles, obviously they all knew martial arts.

Moreover, there were other guests who were drunk at the time, but the maids did not come to help them. It was obvious that they were deliberately targeting the two of them.

Therefore, Jiang Song took advantage of the situation and pretended to fall into the trap, but in fact he was secretly alert and looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

In fact, the wine she and Xie Changyu drank at the banquet was also problematic, but she used her spiritual power to quietly force it out of her body, so she didn't fall into a coma like Xie Changyu.

Everything that happened after that was under her control.

Jiang Song not only removed the drug from Xie Changyu, but also followed the clues to find the enemies hiding in the dark and captured them all in one fell swoop.

As for the fire in Yuehua Tower, she had deliberately set it before she left, in order to cover up the bodies that had turned to ashes, and at the same time to create chaos so that those people would have no time to take care of other things.

"Changyu, what happened today is known only to you and me. Never let anyone else know about it." Jiang Song warned solemnly.

Xie Changyu nodded, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will keep it a secret."

Jiang Song nodded slightly to show his satisfaction.

She stood up, walked to the window, pushed open the shabby window frame, and looked out at the dark night sky. "You take a rest for a while, I'll go out and check the wind."

Xie Changyu nodded and watched Jiang Song leave the room.

Jiang Song walked out of the old house and came to the street.

It was late at night and there were few people on the street.

Jiang Song came near Yuehua Tower, but did not approach it directly. Instead, he hid in a dark alley and used the cover of the night and buildings to quietly observe the movements of Yuehua Tower.

The fire in Yuehua Building has been basically extinguished, but the scene is still in chaos. Officers, soldiers and firefighters are busy cleaning up the scene and trying to restore order.

Jiang Song noticed that there were several people who looked like government spies moving among the crowd, talking in low voices with officers and soldiers from time to time, obviously investigating the cause of the fire.

She was secretly alert, knowing that although tonight's action seemed to have ended perfectly, the forces behind it would not give up easily.

They will definitely get to the bottom of it and find out who is behind it.

Shen Xubai's death will undoubtedly become a fuse, making the water even more turbid.

Just as Jiang Song was about to leave, a faint sound of conversation came from the corner of the wall not far away, which caught her attention.

She approached quietly, stopped about five meters away, and listened attentively.

Training made her five senses sharper, and even in this noisy environment, she could clearly capture the conversation between the two people.

"Mother, did my brother offend someone in business?

"Tonight, Yuehua Tower caught fire. Everyone escaped, but my brother's body was nowhere to be found. This was clearly caused by someone on purpose!"

This was the voice of a young man, his tone full of grief, anger and unwillingness.

The other voice was deeper, obviously that of the man's mother.

"Alas, Xuan, now I have no choice but to tell you the truth. Your brother...what he did today was too impulsive!"

"What?!" the young man exclaimed, clearly in disbelief. "Brother...how could he..."

"He was also doing it for the benefit of the family. Madam Du said that if you help her remove the obstacles, she will help our Shen family become an imperial merchant. Your brother was obsessed with bringing glory to the family, so he went astray."

The young man was silent for a moment, then asked in a trembling voice, "Then...then is my brother's death related to these things?"

"Most likely." The woman sighed. "Xu Bai was too flamboyant and not cautious enough, which ultimately led to his own death."

The young man gritted his teeth and said, "Who is it? Who is so cruel that he wouldn't even let Xu Bai go?!"

"I guess it's someone from the Xie family." The woman spoke slowly, and every word seemed to be filled with heavy hatred.

"Our Shen family has achieved its current status by taking over the cloth shop business of Xie Guangting's sister, the head of the Xie family. Xie Guangyun died because of our Shen family, and the Xie family has always held a grudge against us."

"Although the Xie family has declined in recent years, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. They have been secretly accumulating strength and waiting for an opportunity for revenge."

"During this imperial merchant selection, Madam Du promised to help us overthrow the Xie family. After that, she also promised to marry Miss Jiang to Xu Bai. This was supposed to be a win-win situation, but it turned out to be his death warrant."

At this point, the woman's voice was choked with sobs, and she was obviously heartbroken.
