When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord
Chapter 9: Murder in the Marquis' Mansion
"My Lord, I know Song'er has just experienced the pain of losing her mother, and she is bound to feel grief and resentment. But her groundless accusations chill my heart." Du Shulan was about to cry, leaning against Jiang Buli, looking pitiful.
It was her daughter Jiang Jun who reminded her of this trick, saying that in front of a man, showing weakness is always more effective than showing off.
Sure enough, upon seeing this, Jiang Buli's heart unconsciously tilted towards Du Shulan, "Shulan, don't take it to heart. Song'er was just anxious at the moment, so she spoke without thinking."
Du Shulan still looked aggrieved. "My Lord, I know Song'er didn't mean it. But if this rumor gets out, it will not only damage my reputation, but also be very detrimental to the Marquis' Mansion."
Jiang Buli frowned, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Du Shulan had a plan in mind. "In my opinion, it would be better to send Song'er to live in a farm in the countryside for a while. Firstly, she can rest and recuperate, and secondly, she can avoid these rumors."
Jiang Buli had heard a lot of rumors about Jiang Song recently and was worried about how to respond. Du Shulan's suggestion, though a bit cruel, was a solution.
"Okay, as you say." Jiang Buli finally made the decision, "I'll arrange for someone to send Song'er to the farm in the countryside tomorrow."
Du Shulan was secretly delighted, but she remained expressionless. "Don't worry, my Lord. I will send someone to take good care of Song'er."
As a result, this little kid will not be able to take part in the next Fengwu Academy entrance examination.
Moreover, those old maids on the farm are not easy to deal with. With them around, isn't Jiang Song's life and death easily in his own hands?
"Father, you are blind. My mother lost her life to that vicious woman, and you still want to send me away so that she can continue to do evil?!" After hearing the news, Jiang Song rushed into the study and accused in tears.
Jiang Buli's face turned pale at his daughter's accusations. "Song'er, how could you be so rude? I sent you to the manor for your own good. Your mother's matter was purely an accident and had nothing to do with Shulan. Stop making random accusations!"
"Accident? My mother has always been in good health, how could she suddenly die of illness? Could it be that my father really can't see the strangeness in this?" Jiang Song looked indignant, his eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was choked with sobs.
But Jiang Buli didn't want to delve into it. He waved his hand, interrupting Jiang Song and saying, "That's enough. This matter has been settled. You don't need to say anything more. Let's set off for Zhuangzi tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned away, leaving Jiang Song standing there alone, feeling hopeless.
"Father, you are so unable to distinguish right from wrong and allow that vicious woman to stir up trouble. Sooner or later you will get your retribution!" Jiang Song chased into the yard and shouted at Jiang Buli at the top of his lungs.
"Pa!" A loud slap echoed in the silent courtyard. Jiang Buli turned around in anger, and the aftershock of his palm lingered in the air for a long time.
"Jiang Song, how dare you! Your father, understanding that you just lost your mother, has been tolerant of your rude behavior these days, but I didn't expect you to become even more outrageous! If you dare to speak nonsense again, don't blame your father for being rude!"
Jiang Song's head tilted due to the blow, his cheeks quickly became red and swollen, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
"Oh! Father, I finally see clearly that in this family, truth and justice are nothing but sacrifices in your weighing of pros and cons."
"The path you choose is always the one that is most beneficial to you, even if that path is paved with my mother's blood and my future is sacrificed!"
Jiang Song straightened his back stubbornly. Even though tears were welling up in his eyes, he tried hard not to let them fall.
Jiang Buli looked at his daughter who had gone insane, and anger surged in his heart.
It was simply outrageous that she dared to contradict him again and again, and even spoke wildly and slandered the peace of her family.
"Jiang Song, you have disappointed your father so much. From now on, you must reflect on yourself in the manor. Come back when you have learned the rules!" Jiang Buli's voice was as cold and hard as iron, leaving no room for maneuver.
Just as he turned around, he heard a "plop" sound behind him. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Song's body falling into the lake.
The lake instantly swallowed her figure, leaving only layers of ripples slowly spreading in the night.
"Hurry! Save people!" Jiang Buli shouted loudly, his voice trembling. He hurriedly ordered his servants to go into the water to rescue.
In the darkness of the night, with the lights on, the servants jumped into the lake one after another. After a tense search, they finally rescued Jiang Song from the icy water.
It’s a pity that the person who was rescued was no longer Jiang Song, but a soul from another world. With sympathy and resentment for the original owner, she was reborn in this body.
When she slowly opened her eyes, she was surrounded by servants shouting anxiously and Jiang Buli, who looked stunned.
"Song'er, if you don't want to go to Zhuangzi, just tell your father and he will reconsider. Why bother..."
There was no trace of guilt in Jiang Buli's eyes, only dissatisfaction and blame for her "making trouble for no reason".
The newly born Jiang Song had not yet fully recovered from the shock of time travel, but she soon realized that she not only occupied this body, but also inherited the memories and emotions of the original owner.
Everyone in the Xie family thought that the original owner had committed suicide out of anger.
But in the original owner's memory, it was clear that a dark shadow took advantage of her unpreparedness and pushed her into the cold lake that night.
In the chaos of the rescue, they pulled the original owner back into the water several times, intending to let her drown completely.
Although the black shadow did not show up, the original owner had a vague guess in her mind - besides Du Shulan, who else could hate her so deeply?
At that time, Jiang Song knew that she was surrounded by dangers, so she said nothing.
He just looked at Jiang Buli quietly, with no emotion in his eyes. He just wanted to survive first and then make plans.
"Forget it, send the third young lady back to her room to rest, and ask the doctor to come and treat her immediately." Jiang Buli finally sighed, waved his hand, and signaled the servants to carry Jiang Song back to the bedroom.
In the following days, Jiang Song stopped crying and making a fuss, as if he had forgotten all the past events.
Whether it was participating in the selection for Fengwu Academy or the death of her biological mother Cui Qiuyun, they all seemed to have become distant nightmares, buried deep in her heart.
The doctor diagnosed that he had caught a cold, and due to the emotional fluctuations in recent days, he had developed amnesia and needed rest and recuperation.
Du Shulan had sent people to test Jiang Song several times, but they were all sent back by Jiang Song's empty eyes and occasional nonsense. Gradually, she no longer took it so seriously.
Later, on the day of Fengwu Academy's selection, Jiang Song did not attend. Du Shulan and her daughter then completely believed that she had fallen into the water and damaged her brain, and had completely lost her threat.
In fact, Jiang Song's heart was as clear as a mirror after traveling through time, but the time was too short, and she had not yet adapted to this body, nor had she fully understood the rules of this world.
While Jiang Song was pretending to be stupid, he was actually observing, learning and adapting in secret.
Although she inherited the original owner's memories and emotions, as a soul from another world, she has a broader vision and unique way of thinking.
That vicious mother and daughter were so concerned about her application to Fengwu Academy that they vowed to use any means to deal with her.
In addition, although Jiang Song had some understanding of the original owner's martial arts moves, it would take time for him to master them, and he had no time to prepare for this year's selection.
Therefore, she simply used "amnesia" as a cover, claiming that she had even forgotten her martial arts, in order to temporarily avoid the spotlight and secretly accumulate strength.
Qin Yunfeng felt regretful for a long time, thinking that such a rare martial arts genius like Jiang Song should not have such an ending.
Later, when Fengwu College's entrance exam was over, Jiang Jun failed to pass.
The Xie family then proposed marriage to the Jiang family for the second time, requesting that they fulfill the marriage contract previously made by the grandfathers of the Jiang and Xie families and marry Jiang Jun back to the Xie Mansion as the wife of Xie Changyan, the eldest son of the Xie family.
Xie Changyan is suffering from a strange disease and has not much time left. Naturally, the Jiang family is unwilling to marry their daughter Jiang Jun into such a seemingly hopeless marriage.
Before, they could use the Fengwu College entrance exam as an excuse to delay, but now that Jiang Jun failed, Jiang Buli and Du Shulan have to face this thorny issue of engagement.
Although they were extremely reluctant, they knew they could no longer refuse. After all, this was an alliance made by the ancestors of the two families, and breach of contract would damage the reputation and interests of the Jiang family.
At this time, Du Shulan once again came up with a vicious plan and decided to push the "ominous" Jiang Song out as a sacrifice to replace Jiang Jun.
Du Shulan secretly thought in her heart that this move could not only protect her precious daughter, but also completely get rid of Jiang Song, the thorn in her side, through the engagement. Why not do it?
So she found Jiang Buli, and after some eloquent persuasion, Jiang Buli was actually moved.
The memory came to an abrupt end, and Jiang Song's heart was already cold towards the conspiracies and calculations of the Anding Marquis Mansion.
She understood that she had to first gain the ability to protect herself, and then gradually uncover the conspiracies hidden in the dark, and seek justice for her original owner and her biological mother Cui Qiuyun.
Now that she has been reborn in this body, she has shouldered the fate of the original owner and vowed to carve out a niche for herself in this strange world, making those who have bullied, humiliated, and harmed her pay the price.
