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

As expected, flattery will never fail. Even though he knew that Jiang Xinyu's words were deliberately meant to please Xiao Yuan, he still softened his gaze.

He didn't believe anyone in the world would think he was better than Zhao Chengye, but just because Miss Jiang understood the hardships of a young eunuch's life, she deserved to be given a complete body.

Fortunately, Jiang Xinyu didn't know what this scoundrel was thinking, otherwise she would have definitely jumped up and cursed his ancestors for eight generations.

I've flattered you so much, and you won't even give me a way out? Is leaving me a whole corpse some great favor?

Unfortunately, Jiang Xinyu didn't have mind-reading abilities, and the effects of the alcohol were starting to kick in, so she couldn't stop talking once she started.

"My husband, believe me, in my eyes you are much better than Zhao Chengye."

Don't rush to refute me, I'll explain it to you point by point.

I know that you people working in the Eastern Depot are all very suspicious. If you don't believe me, you can check it out yourself later.

Generous butchers are often righteous and kind, while ungrateful scholars are often heartless.

Zhao Chengye appears to be a gentleman of upright character and noble virtue, but in reality, no one knows the true nature of that scoundrel.

Yes, and my dad too.

You know Jianghuai, right? They're all the same kind of people.

They spout morality and righteousness but are actually wicked and immoral. To say they're just seeking fame and fortune is an understatement; they're a bunch of hypocrites who pretend to be virtuous while actually being prostitutes.

My father married my mother because my maternal grandparents' family was rich. If it weren't for my mother's large dowry supporting him, he would have spent his whole life sitting on the sidelines in the Hanlin Academy.

Later, after he became wealthy, he looked down on my mother for her merchant background, thinking it was beneath her dignity. In order to marry the legitimate daughter of an official, he wanted to kill my mother.

Fortunately, my mother was no pushover either. Although she fell for the trap, she still managed to trick Liu into becoming her concubine before she died.

My scumbag father didn't dare let Liu kill me because of my mother's dowry, and Liu was also afraid of ruining her reputation, so she flattered me to death.

My husband, let me tell you something.

Hearing is unreliable, and seeing is not necessarily believing. Although I have a bad reputation, I am a good person.

You know my half-sister Jiang Wanqiu, right? She's always been hailed as a talented woman in our circle.

In reality, she's a shameless woman; she's been having an affair with Zhao Chengye for a long time.

My father and Liu both knew this and were just waiting for me to give birth to the child in the Zhao family so they could use the same trick to kill me and steal my dowry.

They reached an agreement with Zhao Chengye that after my death, Jiang Wanqiu would become Zhao Chengye's second wife.

I overheard this by chance; there are no witnesses or physical evidence, so no one would believe me if I told them.

My maternal grandfather's family were merchants who lived far away, and all the servants around me were Liu's people.

I couldn't even send out a single note; I had nowhere to turn for help.

It just so happens that Li Mingyue's wedding date coincides with my wedding date, and our two families are neighbors, so I came up with the idea of ​​substituting one thing for another.

Zhao Chengye has always cultivated a good image, and young ladies who don't know his true nature are easily attracted to him.

Li Mingyue had liked him for a long time, and she agreed as soon as I mentioned it.

She's luckier than me.

Madam Li loved her daughter dearly, and in order to get her daughter's wish fulfilled, she bribed my head maid Chunhong to devise a detailed plan.

Our two bridal sedan chairs met on Ping'an Street, and Madam Li sent people to create chaos and switch us.

I swear, everything I've said is true. If you don't believe me, feel free to have someone investigate.

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly.

That makes sense and is consistent with the evidence he has gathered so far.

He was still a little puzzled, "You're really bold to come up with the idea of ​​a marriage exchange, and you don't seem like a fool."

Why didn't you think about dealing with your half-sister?

"Don't you think it's a loss for Miss Jiang to give up Zhao Chengye and marry an old eunuch like me?"

Jiang Xinyu looked puzzled. "Why would you think that?"

What's the point of dealing with my half-sister? The root of the problem lies with Zhao Chengye, not with her.

Even if Jiang Wanqiu is gone, there will be Li Wanqiu and Zhao Wanqiu. A pile of shit will always attract flies.

Instead of wasting effort swatting flies, it's better to throw that pile of shit far away.

Zhao Chengye's fundamental problem is that he is a scoundrel who wants to live off a woman.

Even without Jiang Wanqiu, he would still seduce other women, perhaps a noblewoman from a high-ranking family who could bring him honor, or a daughter whose father or brother was powerful enough to help him advance his career.

She might even be a naive girl who can satisfy his vanity, but it definitely won't be me.

He doesn't like me because I'm not good enough.

It's because he wanted to spend my money and show off in front of me, but he lacked confidence in his attempt.

Looking at Jiang Xinyu, whose face was flushed and who was full of passion, Xiao Yuan understood. This girl probably hadn't drunk much alcohol and didn't know that the osmanthus wine was potent. She was probably drunk in her current state.

Haha, alcohol really does embolden cowards.

Unexpectedly, the daughter of an official, raised in seclusion, was so unrestrained and unconventional.

Some of the words she uttered would be considered offensive even by a shrew from the streets, yet they slipped out without hesitation. It seems the rumors weren't entirely unfounded; this girl is certainly not a lady.

If she was right about one thing, she really wouldn't have a good life if she married Zhao Chengye.

The Ningguo Duke's family was notorious in the capital for their pretense; they would eat meager meals behind closed doors but maintain a respectable public image.

Unfortunately, everyone knew that their household was already in dire financial straits and had fallen into ruin, but no one dared to point it out because of face.

He had indeed heard a bit about the marriage between Zhao Chengye and the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. It was said that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was vulgar, rude, arrogant and domineering, and not good enough for Zhao Chengye.

Looking back now, whether she was worthy or not is another matter, but her vulgarity and rudeness were certainly not unjustified.

Jiang Xinyu was unaware that Xiao Yuan's first impression of her was so low; she thought she had performed quite well.

This guy, drunk and impulsively grabbed Xiao Yuan's hand, then complained after missing it.

Why are you hiding?

I just wanted to shake your hand to show that we're happy to work together. You don't think I actually want to do anything to you, do you?

Stop joking, brother. Even if I wanted to, you couldn't.

By the way, when you were castrated, was it a complete removal or just the testicles?

Xiao Yuan's eyes immediately sharpened when his sore spot was touched, and he grabbed Jiang Xinyu's chin with a sinister look, saying...

"Does Miss Jiang look down on me because I'm a eunuch?"

Didn't you go to great lengths to marry into my household?

If you regret it, I'll grant your wish and have someone send you in a sedan chair to Prince Zhao's bed.

Jiang Xinyu was so frightened that she quickly hugged Xiao Yuan's waist, "Husband, I was wrong."

"Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but you can't be so scareful."

We've already gone through the wedding ceremony. I'm yours in life and in death. I'll be buried in the same coffin as you.

"We'll share the same bed in life and the same grave in death; if you never leave me, I'll be with you through life and death."

Xiao Yuan paused for a moment, then disgustedly pried Jiang Xinyu's hand away.

"How can a daughter of an official be so shameless? Is this how Jiang Huai raises his daughter?"

Jiang Xinyu rubbed her fingers awkwardly, "I was just excited for a moment, and besides, there's nothing between us, husband and wife, that's awkward."

Every chimney smokes, what's wrong with my husband giving me a hug?

I just wanted to make it clear that I didn't mean to look down on you; I just blurted things out without thinking.

It's a little embarrassing to admit, but tutoring and stuff like that...

Haha, I really don't have that.

I was actually born wild.

Xiao Yuan was speechless. Damn it, he had already figured it out.
