My eunuch An is a yandere

Because of her rude words, the concubine Chen Xinxin offended Concubine Shu and was expelled from the palace overnight and sent back home.

As a result, when Chen Xiunü returned home that night, she left a letter saying that she was sorry for the family's kindness in raising her. Now that her appearance was flawed, she did not want to bring trouble to her relatives. The only way to repay the family's kindness was to die. She hanged herself that night.

Concubine Shu's forced death of a concubine had drawn a barrage of condemnation from the previous dynasty. While many court officials had sent daughters from their families to the imperial selections, none had ever been subjected to such humiliation. Since it was a precious gift from the emperor, it should have been placed on an altar, not adorned with a headband and paraded through the streets.

Looking at the various condemnations in the memorials, Xiao Duo was so angry at this stupid woman, Concubine Shu, that he got a headache.

In the end, Xiao Duo asked Wang Xi to find the palace maid who beat others and beat her to death with a stick. Shufei was demoted to Zhaoyi, her allowance was reduced, and she was not allowed to leave the palace without necessary, which was equivalent to house arrest.

At Censor Chen's house, Chen Xinxin, who was already dressed as a man, sat in front of her dressing table in the room, listening to the results her father brought without feeling sad or happy.

She now had no identity, no name, and had become a person without relatives. Concubine Shu was only demoted to Zhaoyi, a punishment that might be more painful for Concubine Shu than killing her, but Chen Xinxin felt that this punishment was not enough.

In Chen Xinxin's room, there was another person standing by the window at this time, and this person was An Jiu.

An Jiu held the thing in his hand and looked at Chen Xinxin with a cold and sour face, but his heart felt so sour that water could drip out.

Li Xiaojiu sent him a message last night, saying that the queen had something to give him. Without saying a word, he excitedly went to Lingqi Palace in the dark.

I thought the Queen had noticed his kindness and missed him. But when they met, she gave him a mask with only the right half of his face, and told him to give it to Chen Xinxin when he left the palace.

No, his name is Chen Xu now.

"That woman is pregnant with a dragon seed, the emperor will definitely not punish her harshly."

Censor Chen tried to reason with his daughter. This result was the best explanation the emperor could give. Furthermore, he was only a censor, so the emperor's explanation was sincere.

"But after giving birth to a prince, maybe her position as concubine will be restored."

An Jiu handed the thing in his hand to Chen Xu and added something in a cheeky tone.

"The Queen said this is just interest. Once the child is born, I will make him regret his arrogance."

Chen Xu put on a gilded mask and remained silent. She didn't understand Concubine De. Although she had chosen to help her work outside the palace as a man, the relationship between them was not close.

Censor Chen glared at the talkative An Jiu and told his own guess.

"Empress Defei said she would wait until after the birth. Could it be that she is using this as an excuse to gain custody of the little prince?"

An Jiu smiled sinisterly.

"Censor Chen, our family has never said such a thing. This is all just your own speculation."

Censor Chen's face was flushed black and red. If this eunuch had not come to deliver a message for the Empress, their Chen family would never have opened the door for him.

After sending this person away, he will ask his servants to sprinkle water again to clean away the bad luck.

When the situation between the two was tense, Chen Xu suddenly realized something.

So that's how it was. Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Chen was hoping this baby would be a prince, so she could move up the ladder. But her moral character was flawed, so she couldn't even raise the child, let alone move up the ladder. What mother could bear to see the child she had painstakingly given birth to call someone else "mother"? This was a heartbreaking act.

After figuring this out, Chen Xu changed her dejected demeanor and bowed to her father. It was time for her to keep her promise and do what she was supposed to do.

"In half a year, I will recognize you as my adopted son. When the time comes, you can come back whenever you want. There is no need to worry."

"My son understands."

After Chen Xu finished speaking, he followed An Jiu.

Half a month later, a bookshop opened in the capital. It wasn't anything special, but the owner was a young gentleman, wearing a half-mask gilded with auspicious cloud patterns. This mask didn't detract from his elegant appearance, but rather gave him a certain air of mystery.

Especially since people heard that there was a big man behind his shop with strong backing, many people were curious about it, and for a while the business was quite good.

In the evening, Chen Xu, who was learning how to do business for the first time, sat at the table, calculating profits with his unskilled abacus.

Finally, he threw the brush away and leaned back. Well, after working so hard for so long, he still lost two hundred coins.

Although it was Concubine De who paid for her to open a shop to practice, she really didn't do her job well and was in a bad mood.

In half a month, Chen Xu's cognition changed dramatically.

At first, she knew nothing and everything was difficult. Choosing a location, negotiating a shop, hiring workers—everything required the help of Eunuch Anjiu. Without the help of Yan Wuwei and his men, she wouldn't have been able to open this bookstore in half a month, let alone two weeks.

During the past two weeks, she had also learned a lot. She was now calm and composed when discussing matters with others. Having been the princess's tutor, once she could speak, her demeanor and the context of her words made it clear to the other person that she was no ordinary person. She was almost always successful in her discussions.

And she made friends.

Speaking of Chen Xu, she felt a little embarrassed. She was taken care of by Eunuch Anjiu, so everyone in Yanwuwei also took good care of her. Her new friends were these eunuchs.

As they got along, she discovered something interesting: Yan Wuwei was arrogant and domineering to the outside world, and it could be said that they were the natural opposite of the Censor.

Ever since Yan Wuwei appeared out of nowhere, her father had been scolding them at home.

But after she became familiar with the eunuchs of Yanwuwei, the eunuch Yang Shen once found a book about her father.

The booklet states that on a certain day of a certain month in a certain year, Censor Chen cursed Eunuch An and Yan Wuwei *********, that on a certain day of a certain month in a certain year, Censor Chen cursed Prince Ming *********, and that on a certain day of a certain month in a certain year, Censor Chen cursed Your Majesty *********

Chen Xu was sweating profusely at what she saw. She had no idea that her own father was so brave and had even secretly scolded the emperor.

She was so frightened that her heart was shaking. She cautiously asked Eunuch Yang Shen if they had done anything to her father since he had scolded Eunuch An and Yan Wuwei so much.

After all, Yan Wuwei had a bad reputation. Her father had said that they were vindictive, framed people, and forced confessions under torture.

Eunuch Yang Shen took the booklet from her hand and said with a smile.

Your father is a low-ranking official and doesn't take any money. We won't gain anything by punishing him.

This answer is both good and evil, and after careful consideration, it feels a bit chivalrous.

However, although the eunuchs like Yan Wuwei are all good at getting rich, it is said that they have basically achieved the goal of owning a large house in Kyoto by extorting certain officials.

However, none of them knew how to do business, so she had to figure out on her own how to run her bookstore to make a profit.

There was another important matter for her to prepare for.

Empress Defei asked her to recruit more students who were in need of money and asked her to write a book called Daren Dictionary.

She didn't understand how to write books, and she didn't know what a dictionary was, but Concubine De asked her to recruit ten students first, and then recruit more people depending on the situation after the work was carried out.

So how much money does she have to earn to support such a group of people?
