A lazy bum transmigrates and marries a eunuch – it's awesome!

Qian Wangshi knew that she was not welcomed by the Jiang family.

Today, Liu was caught off guard and the dowry arrangements were completed. She didn't stay long and took her leave early after the banquet ended.

Before leaving, he carefully instructed Jiang Xinyu to take better care of the manor shop when she had time.

The place has been completely replaced by Liu's people. If the manager causes trouble, even the largest family business can't withstand the losses.

If there really isn't a suitable candidate, just send a message to the Qian family's shop. She's already spoken to the shopkeeper, so he certainly won't ignore her.

Jiang Xinyu listened to everything and became much more sincere towards her aunt.

The Qian family has already gone to great lengths for a niece they haven't seen in over a decade; it's quite generous of them.

I really can't understand why the original owner was so stupid.

Instead of being close to her maternal grandparents, she spends all her time competing with Jiang Wanqiu for her scumbag father's favor.

Jiang Xinyu was also tired after a long day. After her aunt left, she said goodbye to Liu Shi and returned to her own courtyard.

Chunxing had been keeping Jiang Xinyu company all along, which wasn't easy either. Fortunately, her young mistress didn't cause any trouble, and she let the maids go back to rest while she went to sleep.

Once back in their room, Chunxing excitedly grabbed Chunhong, eager to claim credit.

It is said that the indenture has been handed over to the young lady, and Chunhong will be free in a few months.

To Chunxing's surprise, Chunhong didn't seem very happy. Her smile was forced, she seemed uninterested and absent-minded.

Chunxing's heart sank. "What's wrong with my sister?"

"But you're upset because you didn't get a reward for not spending time with the girl in the front yard?"

Upon hearing this, Chunhong quickly waved her hand, "What are you talking about?"

You know I'm clumsy with words and never like to join in the fun.

Chunxing asked in confusion, "Then why are you unhappy?"

You've been guarding the yard all day and haven't gone out. Is someone coming to cause you trouble?

Chunhong shook her head. "No, stop guessing."

I'm just a little nervous because tomorrow is the actual day, and I'm afraid something might go wrong.

"Hey, I thought it was nothing. You just love to worry about things that aren't your business."

Chunxing wrung out her handkerchief to wipe her face as she said nonchalantly.

"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, we'll move house. Things may be inanimate, but people are adaptable."

We're just servants, we can worry about our own futures, but what right do we have to speak on such a big matter as a girl's marriage?

Don't worry, everything will be taken care of by the matchmaker, Mrs. Quanfu. We just need to make sure the girl doesn't get lost.

The rest is none of our business.

Upon hearing this, Chunhong tightened her grip on the handkerchief in her hand, and only managed a couple of dry laughs, saying that she was overthinking it.

Without even wiping his face, he said he was going to sleep and then put down the curtains and lay down on the bed.

Chunxing shook her head helplessly, not caring, then turned off the light and went to sleep.

In the darkness, Chunhong opened her eyes again, staring blankly into the darkness.

The thought of what Granny Qin from the Li family next door had given her made Chunhong tremble all over.

She had clearly planned a bright future, and she had even obtained the indenture.

Why does she have to get into this kind of trouble again?

Why her of all people? Is it because her family members are outside the mansion and easy to manipulate?

What were those people thinking? Good heavens, how could they have such a bold idea?

If she actually did it, she'd be beaten to death regardless of whether she succeeded or failed.

But if she doesn't do as they say, what will happen to her parents, her grandmother, her brothers, her sisters, and so on? That's six lives at stake.

Chunhong tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep, until dawn broke and she heard the crowing of roosters in the distance before she finally made up her mind.

When Chunhong was washing up in the morning, Chunxing was startled by Chunhong's huge dark circles under her eyes.

The young girl mocked Chunhong for worrying unnecessarily while hurriedly using makeup to cover her up.

Today is the young lady's big day, and the two maids, as her personal attendants, cannot lose face.

To Chunxing's surprise, panda eyes weren't just Chunhong's problem; her eldest daughter also didn't seem to be sleeping well.

However, it is common for brides to have trouble sleeping before their wedding, and the ladies who come to congratulate them all know what's going on.

In reality, who understands Jiang Xinyu's suffering? She wasn't unable to sleep because she was happy; she was afraid that her hopes would be dashed and that she would soon be facing the countdown to her death.

Because the Jiang and Li families lived next door and served in the same court, it made things convenient for visiting guests.

The male guests from each family only had time to come to the wedding banquet in the evening, while the wives went from house to house.

Then, the choice of which family to host the banquet will be based on the relationship with both families.

Or, if the relationship is good, the mother-in-law stays at the Jiang family's house while the daughter-in-law goes to the Li family's house, making the place even more lively for a while.

Thanks to this flurry of activity, the Li family finally managed to make contact with Jiang Xinyu.

She said she could put Chunhong's family at ease and that nothing would happen to Li Mingyue before she went to the bridal chamber.

The man also brought over a maid named Lüzhu and spoke to her briefly, saying that as long as she recognized the maid's voice, she was certain it was the right person.

Jiang Xinyu was overjoyed and told the old woman to reassure Madam Li that she would do her best to cooperate.

She even suggested that Li Mingyue should try harder to get married to Prince Zhao sooner, because once the deed was done, the marriage would be a done deal.

The old woman hadn't expected that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was really as uncouth as the rumors suggested, and unconsciously glanced at her a few more times.

Jiang Xinyu gave an awkward smile and tried to make amends, saying, "I'm only doing this for the good of me and Mingmingyue."

"I'd like to consummate my marriage with Chief Eunuch Xiao, but that depends on him being allowed to, isn't it?"

Okay, that's a very strong reason.

The old woman curtsied to indicate that she understood and promised to pass on the message. She then quickly disappeared into the crowd and quietly returned to the Li family.

Miss Jiang may speak without restraint, but the old woman would never dare to speak carelessly to the lady.

It was just a subtle reminder that Miss Jiang suggested it would be best to confirm the relationship between Miss Mingyue and Prince Zhao.

And sure enough, Madam Li took those words to heart.

She whispered something to the old woman, then took out a packet of medicine from her dressing case and asked her to deliver it to Chunhong.

Jiang Xinyu also gave her a heads-up. Although the marriage was considered settled after the wedding ceremony, if Chief Supervisor Xiao found something was wrong and had to replace her, then her plan would fall through.

It's better to have an extra layer of insurance. Once Zhao Chengye and Yue'er enter the bridal chamber, their two families will have no choice but to go along with the mistake.

Chunhong wasn't as excited as she was yesterday when she received the medicine powder. Anyway, she was going to die, so it didn't matter if the charges were more or less serious.

Madam Li is quite cunning; she's determined to pin everything on her own daughter.

Chunhong has given up all hope and just checked with Granny Qin again to make sure her parents were alright.

Granny Qin patted Chunhong's hand with a smile, "Don't worry, young lady, this matter has been discussed and agreed upon by your young lady and my lady."

If you help me accomplish this, you'll naturally reap the rewards later.

Your parents, siblings and other relatives are perfectly safe; they are being well taken care of.

As for whether they will build houses and buy land to become wealthy or return to the earth as a member of the family...

"Then it's all up to you, girl, to choose."

Chunhong gave a miserable smile, hid the medicine packet in her sleeve, and turned to leave.

What choice does she have? Does she even have a choice?

She had served her daughter since she was a child; how could she not know what her daughter was thinking?

She threw a tantrum, smashed things, and hit people just because the second daughter had a few more words with Prince Zhao. How could she possibly give up the husband she had finally won over to someone else?

Not to mention that the person she was to be married off to was a eunuch; even if she were completely brainless, she wouldn't believe such nonsense.

But none of that matters, since she never treated the girl as her master anyway.

Hopefully, Madam Li will keep her word and release her family; otherwise, she wouldn't mind making a scene and risking everything.

If it was truly a case of mistaken identity leading to the marriage, then it can only be said that fate is hard to defy. But if it was a deliberate scheme, then even Chief Supervisor Xiao would be enough to make the Li family suffer greatly.

Anyway, she's just a worthless life; at worst, she can drag the Li family's lady and young lady down with her.
