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

Ancient weddings were incredibly complicated and troublesome. Fortunately, Jiang Xinyu, as the bride, only had to be a puppet and manipulated, otherwise there would definitely have been many mistakes.

It's ridiculous that the bride had no right to say no at all, even though it was her own wedding.

In fact, if Jiang Xinyu hadn't pretended to be weak and said she would faint if she didn't eat, the matchmaker would have wanted to let her go hungry for a day.

Jiang Xinyu couldn't help but feel sorry for women in ancient times.

She was so nervous she couldn't sleep the night before, and then she was starving all day. That night, she was pleasured by her husband for the first time, and then she got up before dawn to kowtow and serve tea to her in-laws and elders.

If things go wrong, I might even have to stand in a proper manner and serve my mother-in-law meals. Good heavens, is this a life fit for a human being?

If you encounter a good mother-in-law and a good husband, you still have hope. But if you're unlucky and fall into a wolf's den, you'll truly be left with no one to turn to.

Especially for someone like her whose family is unreliable, she could be tormented to death and have no one to seek justice for her.

Damn it, who's always thinking about time travel?

This stifling and humiliating ancient life was simply unbearable.

As the procedures were completed, the sky gradually darkened, and a series of firecrackers went off outside.

The old woman announced that the auspicious time had arrived, and Jiang Xinyu, with her veil covering her head, was helped into the bridal sedan chair by Chunhong.

On the other side, supporting her was Xiao Que, a second-class maid, while Chun Xing, who was supposed to go with her, was replaced because she had an upset stomach.

Weddings, also known as "dusk ceremonies," were held in the Jin Dynasty. Weddings took place in the evening, with the bridal sedan chair making a round trip before being delivered to the groom's house at night, just in time for the wedding ceremony and the couple to enter the bridal chamber.

This is actually one of the reasons why Jiang Xinyu dared to plot a substitution.

If it were broad daylight and there were many people around, people would notice even if someone changed a maid, let alone the bride.

But things are different at night; how bright can a few red lanterns really make?

If the bride's makeup were any heavier, the groom might not even recognize her when they enter the bridal chamber.

The bridal sedan chair was carried out of the mansion, trembling slightly, with gongs leading the way and firecrackers going off all the way, creating a lively scene.

Jiang Xinyu's heart was pounding in her throat as she sat in the sedan chair.

Madam Li, oh Madam Li, success or failure hinges on this moment.

Jiang Xinyu was nervous, but Madam Li and Li Mingyue were even more nervous than she was.

After all, one is a promising young man and the other is an old eunuch. It's not easy for a fool to be willing to exchange wives. If they can't seize the opportunity, this mother and son will be so angry that they'll die.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the Jiang family's bridal sedan chair left, the Li family's bridal sedan chair also left.

The reason they end up going in opposite directions on Ping'an Street is simply because the circles they have to walk around are different sizes. Even if they don't leave at the same time, they will still end up going in opposite directions.

This was the location that Mrs. Li finalized after sending people to scout the area multiple times over the past two days.

She even booked a teahouse on Ping'an Street in advance, and there were a few inconspicuous people waiting on the second floor with several packets of incense ash.

Mrs. Li may not be a good person, but she is definitely a good mother.

In order to ensure her daughter could find a good husband, she used all the connections she had.

Madam Li was even prepared for the consequences of her actions, including being held accountable by Supervisor Xiao. She was willing to die with Jiang Xinyu, just so her daughter could have a chance to live.

At three-quarters past dusk, the two bridal sedan chairs finally saw each other's shadows, and the people lying in ambush on the second floor of the teahouse were ready.

Just as they reached the teahouse, two disheveled beggars suddenly rushed out of the alley, holding lit firecrackers, and charged into the crowd.

While rushing forward, they shouted "Congratulations on your fortune, sir, please give me a reward!" which immediately threw the group into chaos.

Suddenly, the window on the second floor of the teahouse opened, and several large bags of incense ash poured down, catching many people off guard and blinding them.

To avoid dropping the bride, the sedan bearers hurriedly alighted from the sedan chair, rubbing their eyes and coughing as they cursed inwardly at whoever was so heartless.

Jiang Xinyu felt her wrist tighten as someone pulled her, and then she was pulled out of the bridal sedan chair by that force.

In the blink of an eye, she was pulled to the side by another hand, and in a flash, she was moved from the Jiang family's bridal sedan chair to the Li family's bridal sedan chair.

Then a slightly hoarse voice whispered against the sedan curtain.

"Miss Jiang, don't be afraid. I am Luzhu, Madam Li's maid. Just tell me what you need."

Jiang Xinyu finally breathed a sigh of relief; the matter was settled.

As long as they don't reveal their secret before the wedding ceremony with Xiao Yuan, their marriage will be legally binding after the ceremony.

The Ningguo Duke's Mansion has a nice-sounding name, but it's just an empty shell. It only relies on relatives and friends to bully minor officials and common people.

Even if they had the guts, they wouldn't dare go to Governor Xiao's residence to demand people back.

Now we're just one bow short of the ninety-nine, so we can only gamble on her character.

When Jiang Xinyu met up with Lvzhu, Li Mingyue had already gotten into the Jiang family's sedan chair.

To be on the safe side, she even lifted her veil slightly, and only felt relieved after confirming that it was Chunhong supporting her.

Thank God, she can finally marry Brother Chengye. Jiang Xinyu, that idiot, has finally done a great thing.

Hahaha, so stupid, so incredibly stupid!

Jiang Xinyu is truly the stupidest woman in the world to actually rush to marry an old eunuch.

Li Mingyue was happy, and Jiang Xinyu, who was in the bridal sedan chair in the Li family, was also happy.

For Jiang Xinyu, a modern person, Xiao Yuan, who is 28 years old, is by no means old.

Of course, Li Mingyue wasn't wrong to say that Xiao Yuan was an old eunuch.

After all, early marriage was highly valued in ancient times, and it was common for men to become fathers at seventeen or eighteen and grandfathers at thirty-one or twenty-two.

Xiao Yuan is already twenty-eight, which is indeed old for Li Mingyue, who is only sixteen.

However, how can you, who are not fish, know the joy of fish?

For Jiang Xinyu, Xiao Duzhu, who had a car, a house, both parents deceased, and plenty of money and trouble, was simply too appealing.

Let Li Mingyue deal with that awful family from the Ningguo Duke's mansion.

Hopefully, she won't cry when she stands in the line of duty for that old hag from the Zhao family every day.

In short, this exchange was perfect, and both sides felt they got a great deal.

Madam Li was indeed very dedicated, and she devised a meticulous plan in just two days.

The maids and servants on the Li family's side were prepared; they closed their eyes as soon as the firecrackers went off.

The moment the incense ash fell, the Jiang family's old woman was still rubbing her eyes when the Li family switched the brides, completely unaware that her daughter had been switched.

The two beggars who threw firecrackers had already disappeared in the chaos, and the people on the second floor of the teahouse also slipped away quietly.

Aside from the incense ash on everyone's bodies, it looked as if they had just seen a ghost.

The person in charge cursed under his breath but there was nothing he could do. He could only tell everyone to pack their things and get into the sedan chair as soon as possible.

This is not the time to assign blame; if we miss the opportunity, they cannot afford the consequences.

Although the operation was bold, meticulous, and chaotic, it actually only lasted a few seconds.

When the sedan bearers lifted the sedan chair again, the delay was less than five minutes in total.

The two sedan chairs separated again, one heading south and the other north, and the fates of the two girls also took different paths.

The Li family's wedding ceremony was originally earlier than the Jiang family's; they deliberately left home late just for this exchange.

Now that the bride had been changed, they proceeded at full speed and finally delivered her to the governor's mansion before it was too late.

Jiang Xinyu was so shaken around in the sedan chair that she almost threw up. Her legs were trembling as she got out, supported by Qingzhu.

Damn it, I don't get carsick, seasick, or airsick in modern times, but I get carsick in sedan chairs in ancient times.

It's all because of this lousy body. I miss my strong self. I want to punch a zombie one-shot.
