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

Xiao Yuan wasn't so narcissistic as to think that Jiang Xinyu had taken a liking to him, the old eunuch.

They assumed that the Jiang family had pledged allegiance to some prince, which was why they were willing to sacrifice their eldest daughter to orchestrate such a grand scheme.

As for the purpose, it is nothing more than a few things.

Either they try to recruit him onto their side and make him work for them.

Either they were trying to sow discord between him and the Duke of Ningguo's mansion and Zhang Zhongyi, completely eliminating any possibility of cooperation between them.

Or perhaps it's simply about planting a spy nearby to wait for an opportunity to act.

But whatever it is, they're definitely after him. He just needs to wait and see. The fox's tail will be revealed sooner or later anyway.

As for now, he might as well join in the fun and watch the excitement, even if it means he gets a piece of the action.

Zhang Zhongyi, true to his old fox nature, didn't turn on him on the spot despite being furious.

Even though he stubbornly refused to change his tune, he said that if it was truly a twist of fate, then it was destiny, and it could be considered that it brought about two happy marriages.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xinyu seized the opportunity and shamelessly suggested...

"The Left Prime Minister is indeed insightful; what he said is absolutely right."

Why don't you come with us to the Duke of Ningguo's mansion tomorrow morning to talk things out?

Prince Zhao is your disciple, and you are a highly respected person. Only if you act as the middleman will we all be convinced.

You brought about the marriages of two couples, so you were the great matchmaker for all four of us.

It would be most appropriate for you to mediate for us.

Zhang Zhongyi had seen all sorts of scoundrels in his life, but he never expected that a young girl who had just gotten married could be so shameless.

Not content with scheming against me once, they went on and on like drawing a book, fold after fold. Did they really think I was made of paper?

Xiao Yuan grinned mischievously at the sight, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

It turns out that it's not only through harsh words, sarcasm, and irony that one can vent their anger; the real skill lies in flattering the other person so they can't express their grievances.

Old Zhang's face looked worse than if someone had cursed his ancestors for eight generations.

Fun, really fun.

His new wife is quite interesting.

Once we find out which spy it is, if it doesn't cause any trouble, we can keep it as a pastime to pass the time.

Zhang Zhongyi was a cunning old fox who had been in officialdom for many years; Jiang Xinyu couldn't even come close to his intelligence.

The reason he was able to trick the old man was entirely due to the fact that he caught the old man off guard and that the old man was too careless. In addition, the ancients had never seen such an unconventional approach.

Once the other party is on guard, Jiang Xinyu's little bit of cleverness will be completely wasted.

This salted fish also had self-awareness. Taking advantage of the situation, she disgusted the old man with a couple of remarks and then stopped, pretending to be shy as she put the veil back on.

She said she was going back to her room to wait for her husband, and gracefully turned to leave, not forgetting to remind Xiao Yuan not to drink too much.

This left everyone present speechless once again.

Lord Jiang truly lives up to his title of Vice Minister of Rites... He is indeed very well-mannered.

With such a carefree daughter, his family's ancestral graves must be emitting black smoke.

The place became lively again as soon as the bride left. Just now, everyone was hoping that Zhang Zhongyi and his group would get out of there, but now Xiao Yuan's people were refusing to let them go.

Since we're already here, how can we leave without having a drink on the Lord's joyous occasion?

Cheers! I'm so happy today, let's drink until we drop!

Xiao Yuan could be infuriating; he even made Zhang Zhongyi sit in the seat of honor, saying he wanted to thank him as the great matchmaker.

Zhang Zhongyi gave a cold snort with a forced smile.

"Chief Supervisor Xiao is quite lucky; he and this Jiang family girl are truly a match made in heaven."

Then I wish you a long and happy life together and many children.

"Oh dear, look at me, I've already had too much to drink before even starting! Please forgive me, Your Excellency."

Xiao Yuan wasn't angry. He slowly poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip.

"It's alright. This isn't the first time the old prime minister has made a mistake today. I suppose it's because he's getting old."

However, I would also like to offer you a word of advice.

People should accept their age and understand their place in life in order to have a good beginning and a good end.

It doesn't matter if you say something wrong to me, but if you were to report to the Emperor one day and spout the same nonsense...

"Hehe, what do you say, Your Excellency?"

Zhang Zhongyi dusted off his sleeves. "There's no need for Chief Supervisor Xiao to worry about that. This old man can still be loyal for a few more years."

When I can no longer work, I will naturally retire and return to my hometown. Even if my sons are useless, I will still have food to eat.

The old man, no longer wanting to play games with this dead eunuch, said goodbye and left in a huff.

Everything about today is strange; he needs to go back and think it over carefully.

He naturally knew that Zhao Chengye and Xiao Yuan had clashed on their wedding dates, and he deliberately avoided going to his disciple's place because he wanted to find trouble with that damned eunuch.

Unexpectedly, the incident of changing the bridal sedan chair caused him to lose face in front of everyone so much. This matter is definitely not over yet.

It's best not to let him find out that Xiao Yuan orchestrated the marriage swap, otherwise we'll definitely skin him alive this time.

Zhang Zhongyi has already left, so there's no need for Xiao Yuan to waste his time here. The remaining people aren't worthy of his company.

Zhang Zhongyi found the matter suspicious, and Xiao Yuan wouldn't be foolish enough to think it was just a coincidence.

As soon as Jiang Xinyu revealed her identity, Xiao Yuan had already given the signal to have the wedding procession under control. He estimated that the interrogation should be almost over by now.

The agents of the Eastern Depot were all professionally trained interrogators. They could pry open the mouths of even a few sedan chair carriers, maids, and musicians, let alone professionally trained assassins.

As soon as Xiao Yuan went out, his subordinates in charge of the interrogation brought up his confession.

Xiao Yuan glanced at the document and frowned slightly; his premonition had indeed been correct.

There are no coincidences; it's all man-made.

The testimonies of the people were basically consistent.

Two bridal sedan chairs from different families collided in an alley. A beggar threw firecrackers to solicit rewards, disrupting the wedding procession. Then, a cloud of dust suddenly appeared, blinding everyone.

As for when the bride was replaced, they had no idea.

The officer in charge of the interrogation said cautiously,

"Rest assured, Chief Supervisor, the cases were conducted separately, so there's no possibility of collusion. Based on the current situation, the bride was indeed switched on Ping'an Street."

only……

None of the wedding procession members participated, so it's unclear who orchestrated it.

The matchmaker and her maids didn't seem to be lying.

However, there was one person who should know the truth, and that was the maid, Green Bamboo, who was supporting the lady.

Others might not have been able to touch the bride and therefore wouldn't have noticed, but she was supporting her the whole time, so it's impossible that she didn't know about the change of person.

But now that girl is serving in the new house, do you think I should drag her out and question her?"

Xiao Yuan waved his hand, "Let's leave it at that for now. Send some people to search Ping'an Street and see if there are any clues. If necessary, we can clean up the mess."

If other families investigate this matter, cause them some trouble, and send two skilled martial artists to the Li and Jiang families to eavesdrop.

Let's investigate further what kind of person this eldest daughter of the Jiang family is.

The servant agreed and took his leave, while Xiao Yuan looked at the stack of confessions and revealed a strange smile.

He had been fighting with that old scoundrel Zhang Zhongyi for several years and thought he knew him quite well.

This doesn't seem like something he would do.

As for who did it, let's go and meet his bride first; there might be a pleasant surprise.
