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

After reading the statement, Xiao Yuan turned and walked towards the new house, intending to first meet this amazing eldest daughter of the Jiang family.

As soon as they reached the door, they heard a mournful cry coming from inside. It was a heart-wrenching cry that would move anyone who heard it to tears.

A cold smile appeared on Xiao Yuan's lips.

This time, the crying was much more genuine than in the wedding hall. Had he finally broken down and couldn't pretend anymore?

Hehe, that's understandable.

Women have always taken marriage very seriously, and even if they are forced to marry him out of obligation, they must feel extremely wronged.

Listen to that sound, how mournful it is; even the most tragic loss of a family and loved ones couldn't be more devastating.

It's ridiculous.

If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job. Do you really think being a spy is so easy?

Thinking this, Xiao Yuan pushed open the door and entered, but the sarcastic words he wanted to say suddenly stopped when he saw the scene inside.

This... is not what I expected?

Inside the room, Jiang Xinyu sat at the table, resting her chin on her hand, looking utterly dejected. Her maid, Lüzhu, sat on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.

Upon seeing Xiao Yuan enter, Jiang Xinyu immediately clung to him like a lifeline, rushing over to grab his sleeve and pleading,

"Husband, you're finally back! Quickly, help me comfort Green Bamboo, she's been crying so much my ears are about to go deaf."

Xiao Yuan gave a light rebuke to shut up, then with a wave of his hand, two ghostly black figures darted out, covered Green Bamboo's mouth, and dragged her out.

Jiang Xinyu was so frightened that her hair stood on end. "No, that's not what I meant, please don't..."

Unfortunately, no one listened to her nonsense. Before she finished speaking, two dark figures had already carried Green Bamboo away and disappeared, even closing the door behind them.

Jiang Xinyu rushed to the door, about to chase after him, when suddenly someone grabbed her by the back of her neck.

Having survived the apocalypse for several years, Jiang Xinyu had developed a conditioned reflex; without thinking, she turned around and kicked him.

Unfortunately, she forgot that she was wearing elaborate ancient wedding attire. As soon as she lifted her foot, she tripped and fell uncontrollably into Xiao Yuan's arms.

Coincidentally, Chief Supervisor Xiao also practiced martial arts, and his skills were quite formidable.

Seeing that Jiang Xinyu was about to fall, Xiao Yuan quickly jumped back a big step, watching helplessly as she fell flat on her face.

Jiang Xinyu lay on the ground, feeling like a million grass mud horses were galloping through her mind.

You bastard, would it kill you to pick me up?

Someone like you is destined to be either a eunuch or a bachelor.

Despite cursing under her breath, Jiang Xinyu forced a smile as she got up.

This fall also brought her to her senses; this was ancient times, with clear class distinctions and no human rights.

She must have lost her mind to ask Xiao Yuan to persuade Lvzhu.

Although this scoundrel is also a servant, servants are also ranked. In his mind, Green Bamboo is probably no different from a cat or dog.

It must be said that although Jiang Xinyu's realization came late, her guess was correct.

Xiao Yuan really thought so, and even found the eldest daughter of the Jiang family somewhat inexplicable.

If you find it annoying, why not just throw that maid out?

It is taboo to wail loudly in front of one's master; if one encounters a bad-tempered master, being sold off is the least of one's worries.

How dare they tell him to go and coax a maid? Does this person have some misunderstanding about his status?

He had only ever heard that his name could frighten children, but no one had ever associated him with the word "coax."

He climbed the ladder by being ruthless, decisive, and efficient, which is completely different from those who climbed up by flattery and sycophancy.

He's never even managed to coax the emperor, let alone a maid?

His new wife definitely has some serious illness.

Xiao Yuan watched as Jiang Xinyu got up on her own, ignoring her completely. He calmly sat down at the table, and when he glanced at the things on the table, Xiao Yuan was stunned once again.

The table was covered with empty plates and bowls.

Is this... a wedding ceremony?

Although Supervisor Xiao was knowledgeable and experienced, he was still a eunuch and had never thought about getting married or paid attention to such matters before.

I knew absolutely nothing about wedding ceremonies, and I only learned about the details of the wedding ceremony after someone specifically pointed it out to me these past couple of days.

Now, seeing the table full of empty plates, it's understandable that they would misunderstand.

Jiang Xinyu also misunderstood.

Seeing Xiao Yuan staring at the empty plates, she quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, my husband, why don't you have someone bring another table?"

Hehe, your food was delicious! I was craving some and forgot to save some for you.

Xiao Yuan paused and carefully examined the plates again, finally finding a small piece of chopped green onion on the edge of one of the plates.

Xiao Yuan was so angry he almost laughed.

There wasn't a drop of soup left on any of the dozen or so dishes. Did he marry a glutton?

Could it be that Jiang Huai, that old scoundrel, was afraid that the Ningguo Duke's mansion was so poor that it couldn't afford to support his daughter, so he switched her to his place?

Seeing Xiao Yuan's strange expression, Jiang Xinyu quickly fawned over and poured him two glasses of wine.

"My husband was drinking, so I specially saved some for you."

Xiao Yuan didn't take the wine glass. Instead, he stared at Jiang Xinyu with a half-smile and said...

"Does Miss Jiang have nothing to say to me?"

Xiao Yuan's voice was slightly higher than that of a normal man, and although he spoke slowly and deliberately, his tone carried an undeniable sense of pressure.

Jiang Xinyu shuddered involuntarily. She was about to say something, but when she met Xiao Yuan's sharp gaze, she swallowed back her nonsense.

"Can I finish my drink?"

Alcohol emboldens the timid.

A hint of interest flashed in Xiao Yuan's eyes, and he nodded, signaling her to finish her drink quickly and speak.

Jiang Xinyu didn't stand on ceremony and started sucking directly from the spout of the wine pot, not even wasting the two cups that were poured out.

Damn it, the alcohol content of alcohol in this era is too low; this pot isn't even as strong as a bottle of beer.

She didn't even blush, so what courage could she possibly have?

Seeing that Xiao Yuan was clearly getting impatient tapping his index finger on the table, she really didn't dare to ask for another pot.

"Director Xiao, please ask whatever you wish, and I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

"A liar is a dog."

Xiao Yuan chuckled, "So you're not calling me husband anymore?"

Let's talk about this marriage exchange first. Why did the heir of the Duke of Ningguo's mansion enter my family's residence?

To be honest, you don't want to spend tonight in prison, do you?

Jiang Xinyu quickly shook her head, "Couples should talk things out. What's with all this talk about being imprisoned? It's so hurtful."

Well, it's a long story.

Of course... we can also keep it short.

When my father married my mother, my maternal grandfather…

"Speak the key."

"Alright, Li Mingyue doesn't want to marry you and I don't want to marry Zhao Chengye, so we've switched places."

Xiao Yuan suddenly smiled, picked up the empty wine glass on the table, and crushed it into powder in his palm with a snap.

"You think you're funny?"

Jiang Xinyu immediately backed down, "My lord, I was wrong."

But I really have to tell this from my mother, but don't worry, I'll definitely finish within fifteen minutes."

Xiao Yuan snorted and picked up another wine glass.

Jiang Xinyu swallowed hard. "I'm not lying. It's true that neither Li Mingyue nor I liked our marriage partners, which is why we switched."

"You mean... you don't want to marry the talented heir of the Duke of Ningguo, but would rather marry an old eunuch like me?"

Miss Jiang, do I look stupid to you?

"How could that be? Husband, don't underestimate yourself."

Although I was raised in seclusion, I am not without common sense. How could a lowly eunuch who could climb to the position of Director of the Eastern Depot be stupid?

It is said that the imperial examination was like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge, but in fact, the promotion of eunuchs was much more difficult than that of the imperial examination.

No scholar is ever truly poor. Those who are so poor that they can't even afford to eat can't even read, let alone study.

They have food and drink and don't have to work all day. Anyone with a sound mind and a willingness to work hard can see a way out.

But the eunuchs were different.

Forget about being stupid; anyone who isn't exceptionally bright has no chance of getting ahead.

Don't be fooled by everyone's praise of Zhao Chengye as a talented man; in reality, he was just born into a good family.

If his and your husband's roles were reversed, it's questionable whether he would even live to adulthood.
