When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

Xiuyun had not rested yet. She stood at the gate of the yard, looking forward to it, and finally saw Jiang Song.

"I heard that Yuehua Tower caught fire. Is the young lady okay?" Xiuyun came forward and looked Jiang Song up and down, her eyes full of worry.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Jiang Song smiled and shook his head. "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

"I am worried about the safety of the young lady. How can I sleep?"

Xiuyun's eyes were moist, probably because she had heard about what happened in Yuehua Tower and was worried that Jiang Song might have met with an accident.

"I was really scared. I thought... Bah, bah, bah, look at my crow's mouth."

As she spoke, she slapped herself a few times, fearing that she would say something unlucky.

Jiang Song couldn't help laughing when he saw her cute appearance.

"Okay, Xiuyun, stop scaring yourself. Go get me some hot water. I need to take a shower and change clothes."

"Okay!" Xiuyun responded and hurried to prepare.

Even though Jiang Song had used cleaning techniques to clean the blood stains on the clothes, it was still stained with those dirty things. She was disgusted and didn't plan to keep it anymore.

Jiang Song returned to the room and saw Xie Changyan wearing a plain middle-colored robe, sitting at the table with a book in his hand, but he did not turn the page. It was obvious that he was waiting for her.

"Husband, you're here?" Jiang Song looked at him in surprise.

Xie Changyan raised his head, the emotion in his eyes was dark and unclear, "Song'er, are you short of money these days?"

Jiang Song was a little confused by his sudden question. She smiled and asked, "Why do you say that, my husband?"

"I heard that you've been paying close attention to your family's business lately?"

"Not only did he personally plan the entire Imperial Merchant Selection Exhibition, he even personally took care of the details of attracting merchants to the Zhiyun Banquet, is that right?"

Xie Changyan's tone was calm, and no emotion could be heard from it, but Jiang Song vaguely sensed a hint of displeasure.

She walked over and sat down next to Xie Changyan.

"My dear, I didn't mean to interfere in our family business. I just saw how devoted my father and Changyu were to the imperial business, and as a member of the Xie family, I wanted to do my bit to help."

"Besides, my methods are just tricks, not real skills."

"Now that our Xie family has obtained the title of Imperial Merchant, my original intention has been achieved. From now on, I will focus on preparing for the Fengwu Academy entrance exam and will not interfere too much in our family business. Don't worry, my husband."

Jiang Song said this, placing his hand gently on Xie Changyan's hand to comfort him.

Xie Changyan held her hand in return, his eyes darkening, "Do you care about Changyu a lot?"

"Husband, what happened to you today?"

Jiang Song was slightly stunned, looking at him with some confusion, "Changyu is your brother, he is our family, of course I care about him."

"Just that?" Xie Changyan's tone revealed a hint of inquiry.

"Of course." Jiang Song met his gaze calmly, "Husband, you and I are husband and wife, so if you have anything to say, just say it."

Xie Changyan looked at her steadily, as if trying to judge the truth in her words.

After a moment, he sighed softly and held her in his arms. "It's nothing. If you need money or want something in the future, just tell me. I will do my best to satisfy you. You don't have to work so hard."

Jiang Song's heart moved slightly, and he gently broke free from Xie Changyan's embrace and looked into his eyes. "Husband, have you heard any gossip?"

"No." Xie Changyan denied it quickly, but his eyes flickered.

Jiang Song knew in her heart that someone was probably gossiping about her behind her back and Xie Changyan heard it.

She thought about it and decided to talk it out.

After all, Xie Changyan is seriously ill and is more worried than ordinary people. If he continues to feel resentful because of some unfounded things, it will be detrimental to his health.

"My dear husband, I know that after I married into the Xie family, I haven't been able to bring any help to the Xie family. Instead, I have spent a lot of money on martial arts training."

"But I can assure you that I am not after the Xie family's money, nor do I have any improper thoughts about Changyu."

"This time it really just happened. I wanted to do my part for the Xie family, that's all."

Xie Changyan looked at her extremely serious expression, and the fireworks in his heart quietly exploded, so brilliant.

He gently held her face, stroking her cheek with his thumb, his eyes full of tenderness, "Song'er, I'm too worried, I just..."

"It's just that you care about me too much, right?" Jiang Song took over the conversation and looked at him with a smile.

Xie Changyan felt a little embarrassed by her gaze. He turned his head away and pretended to cough a few times, "Well...it's getting late. You should rest early."

Having said that, he was about to get up and leave.

Jiang Song grabbed his wrist and said, "Husband, since you are here, don't leave in a hurry. I still have something to tell you."

"What?" Xie Changyan sat down again and looked at her.

"Wait for me a moment!"

Jiang Song smiled mysteriously, let go of his hand, turned around and ran to the dressing table, opened the drawer, and took out an exquisite small wooden box.

She returned to Xie Changyan holding the wooden box, opened it, and revealed a jade peace locket inside.

"What is this?" Xie Changyan looked at her in confusion.

"This is a peace locket I accidentally saw in the market a few days ago." Jiang Song picked up the peace locket. "Although it is not a valuable item, I think it suits you very well."

"The auspicious cloud patterns carved on this peace locket symbolize peace and good fortune. I hope it can bless you with good health and a long life."

As she spoke, she handed the peace locket to Xie Changyan, "Husband, are you willing to accept it?"

Xie Changyan looked at the peace locket in her hand, then looked up at her expectant eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He reached out his hand, gently took the peace locket, and stroked the delicate patterns on it. A touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, "Song'er, thank you."

"I'm glad you like it." Seeing him accept it, Jiang Song smiled brightly, "Come, I'll help you put it on."

She stood up, walked behind Xie Changyan, put the rope of the peace locket around his neck and tied it gently.

At this time, Xiuyun had already prepared hot water. Seeing the warm atmosphere in the room, she tactfully did not disturb them and quietly retreated.

Jiang Song helped Xie Changyan put on the peace locket and carefully checked it to make sure it wouldn't slip off. Then he nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, it looks great."

As she spoke, she walked around to Xie Changyan, put her hands on the edge of the table, and leaned over to look at him, "Husband, it looks really good on you."

Xie Changyan felt a little embarrassed by her sudden praise. He coughed lightly and turned his head away. "You have good taste."

"Hehe, of course." Jiang Song accepted his compliment without any modesty and sat down beside him. "Husband, it's getting late. Let's rest early."

As she spoke, she reached out to untie his belt.

Xie Changyan's body stiffened, and he subconsciously pressed her hand, "Song'er, I..."

"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Song looked up at him, his eyes full of confusion, "Don't you want to sleep with me?"

"No." Xie Changyan quickly denied, but a suspicious blush appeared on his face. "I... I'm a little tired today. I want to rest early."

"Oh, I see." Jiang Song nodded in understanding. "Then you go to sleep first. I'll go take a shower and change clothes. I'll be back soon."

As she spoke, she stood up, turned around and walked behind the screen.

Xie Changyan looked at her departing back and felt relieved.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to sleep on the same bed with her, but the scar on his body has become more and more hideous in recent days. He is afraid of scaring Jiang Song, and he doesn’t want her to see his ugly side.

When Jiang Song finished her shower and returned to the room, Xie Changyan was already lying on the bed with his back to her, seemingly fast asleep.

She climbed onto the bed quietly, trying not to make any noise so as not to wake up Xie Changyan.

Jiang Song lay down on his side.

After a long time, she felt sleepy and slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

A seductive cold fragrance quietly filled the room.

Jiang Song had a beautiful dream about her and Xie Changyan...

When she woke up the next day, she was naked, and her skin still bore traces of last night's pleasure.

The empty seat next to him was already slightly cold; Xie Changyan had already woken up and left the room.

We've been married for so long, but this guy is still so pretentious.

Jiang Song secretly laughed in his heart.
