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

Chapter 310 Nearing the End

Jin Zekang's wedding was a grand affair. Not only did officials from all over the country send gifts, but even the Eastern Yi and Northern Frontier countries sent envoys to offer their congratulations with generous gifts.

Unfortunately, what the public didn't know was that the nominally married couple were actually living separately.

With power reaching Jin Zekang's level, there was no need to follow any rules; he was the one who set the rules.

Even if they do something unconventional, no one will say anything.

Everything proceeded as usual until the wedding ceremony, when they casually mentioned that the master had predicted the future and that no outsiders were allowed to watch, and that was the end of it.

In reality, the room was occupied by Jin Zekang, Xie Zhuobai, Yu Hui, and Alanbai.

Xiao Yuan was alright, but Liu Xu, who was watching the excitement and acting as a witness alongside Bao Beibei, felt like her worldview had collapsed.

He thought he and Beibei were already unconventional enough, but he never expected that the Regent would be so unconventional in marrying a princess.

The wedding was a happy one for everyone.

The royal family was very pleased; the regent, who had been a bachelor for ages, had finally gotten married.

Over the years, they've heard a lot of gossip, and even they themselves have been speculating whether Jin Zekang lost his penis by accident or was tricked into becoming impotent.

After all, it was strange for a prince to be so old and still unmarried.

Now that they've not only gotten married, but married someone of equal social standing, all the speculations have finally been dispelled.

This time, everyone will just say that the Regent has high standards and ordinary people are not good enough for him, which is why he was delayed.

Yu Sheng was also happy.

This son-in-law is of the highest caliber in terms of status, appearance, and temperament. He can also help the Yu family out of their awkward situation and allow them to return to the aristocratic social circle.

The old general held his wife's memorial tablet and cried for half the night, saying that he had finally lived up to his wife's wishes by finding a good husband for his daughter.

As for the two newlywed couples, they were even more satisfied.

As for just how satisfied the bed is, only the bed knows.

Yu Hui had no mother-in-law and didn't need to pay her respects to anyone. She locked the courtyard gate and from then on lived happily with her dowry and her lover.

Her confidants all knew about her affair with Alan, but because the young lady threatened to kill herself, none of them dared to tell the master.

In this era, if the master is not good, it is because the servant has not served well.

If this deadly matter were to come out, the young lady might not stand a chance, but the servants would certainly be beaten to death.

To protect his mistress's reputation, the master wouldn't even give her the chance to be sold.

Compared to Yu Hui and Alan, the people who are most afraid of Yu Sheng finding out the truth are the ones who are most afraid.

It's better now.

The Regent Prince doesn't blame the Master, and he has already left the capital. From now on, Miss will live a separate life with them without having to worry anymore.

Yu Hui is a very easy-going and sensible person. Since locking that door, she has hardly seen Jin Zekang.

Even when visiting others, she always uses her own door. If there are any important occasions that require her to attend with the princess, she will do her duty accordingly.

Aside from not being close to each other, the couple is considered a model couple in public.

Bashu was already a prosperous region, and Yu Sheng felt guilty about marrying off his daughter to a distant place, so he gave her an even more generous dowry.

It can be said that Yu Hui, from birth to death, lived a life of wealth and honor without ever spending a single coin of silver from the Regent's Palace.

Bao Beibei and Liu Xu also got married quietly, stayed in the capital for 3 months and then returned to Quanrong Royal City.

With the support of two powerful figures, Xiao Yuan and Jin Zekang, plus the deterrent effect of Bao Beibei's martial prowess, they were able to achieve their goals.

It's only a matter of time before we completely take control of that land.

Jiang Xinyu was reluctant to part with her best friend, and in the two weeks before she left, the two of them wanted to be together every day.

Either Xiao Yuan went to the princess's residence to carry his wife back, or Liu Xu went to the Zhenguo Marquis's residence to invite her wife.

If they don't take the initiative, I'm afraid they might just end up living together.

Even though they're sisters, they're still different genders now, and the two of them really had no idea whether these two oddballs would make a souvenir.

A minor incident occurred during the time Liu Xu was in Beijing.

On the day of the Regent's wedding, as they went to celebrate, a woman chased after their carriages and horses, shouting loudly.

Liu Xu glanced back from her horse and saw the woman, seemingly sensing something, staring intently at Liu Xu with tears streaming down her face.

Bao Beibei leaned out of the carriage window and asked a question, but Liu Xu simply shook her head and let the carriage continue.

Zhang Yu is dead; he drowned in the river two years ago.

He is Wang Huan, an orphan from a mountain village who lost his parents at a young age.

The Zhang family has nothing to do with him anymore.

The woman was still shouting when she saw that the carriage hadn't stopped. The old woman and maid who caught up a little later quickly helped her up and kept begging for mercy from the fierce-looking guards blocking their way.

It is said that their mistress has been somewhat confused ever since her young master drowned himself in the river, and she would chase after any handsome young man and call him her son.

Madam Zhang shook her head frantically, "I'm not crazy, that's my Yu'er, that's my son."

Madam Zhang is not insane, but her current disheveled appearance makes her look no different from a madwoman, so no one believes what she says.

One of the onlookers scoffed, "This country bumpkin from out of town is really delusional."

Do you know who that is?

That was the title of General Weiyuan, a third-rank official appointed by the imperial court.

Not only did the general bestow a marriage upon Princess Anning, but after the marriage, he would become the prince consort.

"Is that something you nouveau riche from out of town can even dream of?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhang became even more agitated, grabbing the old woman's fingernails so tightly they dug into her flesh.

Did you hear that?

Did you hear that?

My son has become a great general, and my son is going to marry a princess.

Where is Dalang? Go back quickly and find Dalang so he can acknowledge his younger brother. My son is not dead.

My son is not dead.

The old woman said that her mistress was delirious and was only trying to gain sympathy to avoid being beaten by the guards.

In reality, although her wife cried every day and was in poor spirits, she did not talk nonsense or grab people to claim her as her son.

Now that the lady is so certain, I also have my doubts.

After all, the young master's body was already badly mutilated and unrecognizable when it was found, and the madam immediately insisted that it wasn't the young master.

Looking back now, it's possible that the young master was rescued by someone.

In order to appease Madam Zhang, the old woman had no choice but to go along with her and coax her into returning to the villa in the capital to report to the eldest young master.

Fortunately, not all members of the Zhang family were fools. After hearing his mother's account, the eldest son of the Zhang family immediately ordered his men to pack their luggage and prepare to send his mother back to Jiangnan.

Whether that general was a subordinate or not was none of their business.

If not, rashly trying to claim kinship with the prince consort would only lead to them, as merchants, being blamed, and they simply couldn't afford to suffer the consequences.

If he really was a younger brother, then his resolute decision to drown himself in the river back then must have stemmed from intense hatred towards them.

People don't bother them because of blood ties and family. If they don't know their place and keep trying to curry favor with others, what good will come of it?

In another instance, if he were just a general, he might be able to get some benefits by taking his mother to sell her body, crying and begging.

But now that man is not only a general but also a prince consort.

Even if she's a princess from the Eighth Route Army, she's still a princess. What would she do if she found out that her husband used to be a male prostitute?

The crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family; even if the person eagerly admits their identity, they cannot accept it.

The incident of Zhang Yu drowning himself caused them to be gossiped about in their hometown, which is why they were forced to go to the capital to do business.

My aunt was also angry with my mother because of Zhang Yu's matter, and she stopped having any contact with his family.

If it weren't for the fact that he and his cousin from the Qian family had played together since childhood and that the cousin had helped him, it would have been extremely difficult for them to use their aunt's name in the capital.

He desperately wanted the Qian family to forget about Zhang Yu, and he didn't want to bring it up at all at this moment.
