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

Zhao Chengye had met Li Mingyue a few times, and with his intelligence, he could naturally tell that the girl liked him.

But for a charming young man like him who was admired by many, he had seen so many admiring glances that he never paid any attention to this ordinary girl.

If Li Mingyue hadn't always been with Jiang Wanqiu, he probably wouldn't even remember the woman's name.

I never expected this girl to be so bold. She's just the daughter of a fifth-rank official, yet she dares to plan something so deadly.

She even dared to run away from Xiao Yanwang's marriage. Did she think her entire family was living too comfortably?

Damn stupid woman, if you want to run away from the wedding, why don't you just run away yourself?

Why should I be dragged into this?

Now, not only has the Jiang family's vast dowry vanished, but they're also being resented by that damned eunuch. Once I get through this ordeal, I'll skin you alive.

Although Zhao Chengye hated the woman in bed with a passion, he had to force a smile to suppress his disgust for the sake of his plans.

"Mother, don't worry. It's fate that has brought this to this. Don't blame Mingyue. Take the people out first."

"Let's apply some medicine to Chunhong first, then we...we, as husband and wife, will discuss what to do."

The Duchess was about to retort when she heard this, but Zhao Chengye suddenly squeezed her hand.

"Mother, go to the outer hall to rest first. Leave everything to your son. We can talk about it later."

The mother and son always had a tacit understanding. Knowing that her son was trying to get information out of her, the Duchess snorted and shook off his hand.

“You’re all grown up now, and your mother can’t make decisions for you. Since you’re taking her side, you can decide for yourself.”

As she spoke, the Duchess got up and left. In a short while, only Zhao Chengye and Li Mingyue, who was infatuated with him, remained in the bridal chamber.

Zhao Chengye forced himself to walk to the bedside, took Li Mingyue's hand, and called her "Sister Mingyue".

Li Mingyue blushed instantly, lowered her head shyly, and called out "Brother Chengye" in a coy manner.

Zhao Chengye, though outwardly disgusted, reached out and pulled the other person into his arms, speaking softly.

"I always thought Mingyue was lively, cute, innocent and charming, but I never imagined that we would have such a fate."

only……

After all, Miss Jiang was betrothed to me since childhood. Although I disliked her arrogance and domineering nature, I also pitied her sincere heart.

We're doing this to her now, which is unfair to her.

"Sigh, I heard that Chief Supervisor Xiao is not easy to talk to. I wonder how Miss Jiang is doing now."

Just as Li Mingyue was feeling sweet, she suddenly looked disgusted when Zhao Chengye mentioned Jiang Xinyu.

"Brother Chengye, why blame yourself? As the saying goes, marriage is preordained by heaven. Since it didn't work out, it just means you weren't meant to be."

Besides, she wasn't at a disadvantage; Governor Xiao's high position and power weren't an insult to her.

Li Mingyue cursed inwardly after she finished speaking.

Why can't I marry her? Wouldn't it be perfect if such a vicious person were paired with a living devil?

Chengye is so kind; he clearly doesn't like her, yet he still thinks of her in every way.

Zhao Chengye's heart stirred, "But... Miss Jiang has admired me for many years. How can she bear to suddenly marry someone else?"

If we were to do something foolish, wouldn't we become the sinners?

Ultimately, it's us who owe her.

Li Mingyue gave a coquettish snort, "She wouldn't, it was clearly her..."

Zhao Chengye sensed something was amiss in Li Mingyue's words and quickly pressed her for details.

Driven by jealousy, Li Mingyue didn't want her husband to feel guilty and keep thinking about Jiang Xinyu, so in a moment of impulsiveness, she revealed the other party's proposal for a marriage exchange.

"Brother Chengye, don't blame yourself. Miss Jiang didn't marry you because she knew she couldn't have children and was afraid of being harassed by the Duchess in the future."

She also said that once she became the wife of the Grand Eunuch, she could do whatever she wanted in the capital.

They don't have to serve their in-laws and sisters-in-law, and their lives are so good.

It's all my fault for liking you too much; I was bewitched by her and did something foolish.

"Brother Chengye, will you blame me?"

Zhao Chengye said he wouldn't, but inwardly he sneered. No wonder he felt something was off about this whole thing.

He knew it! Jiang Xinyu, that shrew, has always been arrogant and domineering. If she doesn't cooperate, this matter simply won't work out.

Even if someone could be drugged in the sedan chair, the deception would be exposed as soon as the wedding ceremony began; it was impossible for the whole night to pass without any disturbance.

His Ningguo Duke's family wasn't that prestigious. If Xiao Yuan discovered something was wrong during the wedding ceremony, he would immediately come knocking on their door.

Even if he were in the bridal chamber, he would be dragged out; it was impossible for it to happen quietly without a sound.

Since the other party didn't come, they must be fairly satisfied with their bride.

This would have been impossible without Jiang Xinyu's cooperation.

He simply couldn't understand Jiang Xinyu's thought process.

The other person is clearly unreasonable but loves him to death. Every time he talks to someone else, he makes a huge scene.

That woman never thinks of others. Even if she can't have children, she will still cling to him and would never push someone else to marry her.

Could it be that she found out about his affair with Lord Jiang, where he went to the mother's house to leave the child?

That's not right either.

Given Jiang Xinyu's temperament, if she really found out about this, she would definitely make a huge scene and come knocking on her door. It's not her style to remain silent and turn the tables on her.

So, where exactly did things go wrong?

Unfortunately, Zhao Chengye didn't see Jiang Xinyu at all in the days leading up to the wedding, otherwise he would have clearly seen that she no longer had any interest in him.

Without the premise that Jiang Xinyu loved him to the bone, he couldn't figure out the trick even if he racked his brains.

But he wasn't one to dwell on things. Since he couldn't figure this out, he quickly moved on to the details of the marriage exchange, coaxing Li Mingyue into completely betraying her mother's plan.

Then the silly girl proudly assured him, "Husband, don't worry, Jiang Xinyu said that eunuchs are the most greedy for money."

She will give half of the silver from her dowry to appease Chief Supervisor Xiao so he won't cause you any trouble.

Now both of us are happy, but the old lady seems to have some complaints about me. You must speak to her on Mingyue's behalf.

Zhao Chengye was absolutely furious when he heard about the dowry.

Who wouldn't be envious of Jiang Xinyu's huge dowry? It was originally all mine, but now it's all ruined by your plans.

And his late autumn.

If it weren't for Jiang Xinyu's dowry, his mother would never have agreed to let Wanqiu be his second wife. Now that he can't get the dowry, his mother would never let Wanqiu into the family with Wanqiu's dowry.

Even if he gets through this ordeal today, and Li Mingyue dies in the future, his mother will probably find him a second wife with a generous dowry.

But now is not the time to break ties with Li Mingyue, so Zhao Chengye could only pat Li Mingyue's back reassuringly and pull her closer.

"Don't worry, Mingyue. Your mother is actually very loving. It's just that today's events were too sudden, which is why she acted so drastically."

I am an only child. As long as I like you, she will come to her senses sooner or later.

But your mother hates lying the most. Go apologize to your mother in a little while and explain the whole story clearly.

If Mother knew Jiang Xinyu couldn't have children, she would be thrilled to have you in the family, and naturally she wouldn't be angry with you.

Li Mingyue's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she cheerfully agreed, intending to go and apologize to the Duchess.

Just then, a commotion arose outside, and a maid came to report that Madam Li had arrived.
