A lazy bum transmigrates and marries a eunuch – it's awesome!
Chapter 35: Feeling Happy
The Duchess was so frightened that she hurriedly tried to help her daughter, but she was not as close as Jiang Xinyu and could only watch helplessly as Jiang Xinyu pressed her thumb hard on her daughter's philtrum.
Zhao Zhenzhen was initially filled with shame and indignation and didn't know what to do, so she pretended to faint. Jiang Xinyu pinched her nose so hard with her fingernails that it bled.
The little girl couldn't bear it and burst into tears.
The Duchess was so angry that she pushed Jiang Xinyu away, pressed a handkerchief to the wound on her daughter's philtrum, and glared fiercely at Jiang Xinyu.
They were clearly in the wrong, and the old woman stammered for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Jiang Xinyu quickly waved her hand, "Madam, don't be so polite. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I just pinched it casually."
No offense, but does your family eat too frugally? How come all the young masters and ladies in your household are so sickly?
Let the imperial physician take a look at Miss Zhao when he arrives. It's not good for a young girl to faint so easily.
Please don't be too angry.
It's just that they stole a few pieces of my dowry; as long as they return them all, that's fine.
"I, the aggrieved party, am already ignoring this; you can't punish her any further."
Zhao Chengye glanced at his sister, who was crying her eyes out, with a gloomy expression, then forced himself to clasp his hands in a fist salute to Jiang Xinyu.
"Madam Xiao, my younger sister is young and ignorant. I hope you will be magnanimous and refrain from speaking ill of her."
You two have known each other for many years and are used to joking around. You've said more than once that she can take any of your things as she pleases, as long as she tells you afterwards.
I felt it was very impolite at the time, but you all didn't seem to care.
There are guests present now, and she's a young girl who's easily embarrassed, so you'd better not joke with her.
Jiang Xinyu pouted, "Your Highness Zhao doesn't think that saying this will make me go along with it and cover up for your sister, does he?"
Save it.
Anyway, there are only four of us here, so all that fancy stuff is useless.
You must know how many clothes and jewelry your sister has stolen from me over the years, taking advantage of my status as her sister-in-law.
I used to put up with her because of her status, but now that I don't have to marry into your family anymore, shouldn't these things be returned?
Of course, I don't plan to take anything she's used anymore, so let's just give her the cash.
Not much, two thousand taels of silver.
This is not a discussion, it's a notification.
"Return the dowry and give me two thousand taels of silver to ward off bad luck, otherwise Miss Zhao will soon be famous throughout the capital."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a servant came over to report that the two imperial physicians had arrived.
Jiang Xinyu's smile grew even brighter as she beckoned to a young eunuch at the door and asked,
"Is the dowry complete? What's missing?"
The young eunuch immediately replied, "Reporting to Madam, everything has been ordered."
"A pair of pure gold and kingfisher feather bracelets and a pure gold hairpin are still missing. Also, several feet of a bolt of gauze have been cut off, supposedly because Miss Zhao wanted to have some tailored."
Jiang Xinyu looked at Zhao Chengye with a half-smile, "The things that were delivered yesterday were made into clothes on the same day. Your sister is so quick."
Since that piece of gauze has been cut, I don't need it anymore. I'll add another five hundred taels for the pair of bracelets and hair ornaments as well.
"It's two thousand five hundred taels in total. Are you going to pay now or wait for the imperial physician to come in and find two witnesses?"
The Duchess flew into a rage, "Why don't you just rob it?"
Jiang Xinyu chuckled, "Two thousand six hundred taels!"
Zhao Chengye quickly stopped the Duchess, "Mother, have someone fetch the silver notes."
At this moment, Zhao Chengye's face was gloomy and his tone was serious. Even Zhao Zhenzhen stopped crying and shrank to the side, not daring to lift her head.
The Duchess had no choice but to send someone to fetch the silver notes, and Zhao Chengye directly instructed Granny Yu to hand them over to Jiang Xinyu.
“Madam Xiao, now that everything has been handed over, I am not feeling well and will not be able to entertain you further.”
Thank you for helping me summon the imperial physician.
Jiang Xinyu smiled radiantly as she counted the silver notes, "Of course, of course, then my husband and I won't bother you any longer."
Prince Zhao, please take care of your health. Do not hide your illness from the doctor. If you feel unwell, please tell the imperial physician immediately.
"Madam, please don't skimp on food. Give the young master some nourishing food and buy Miss Zhao some clothes and jewelry."
After saying that, he waved the silver note in front of Xiao Yuan's face and asked, "Does my husband have anything else?"
"Let's go shopping, I'll treat you to something nice."
Xiao Yuan glanced at everyone indifferently, letting Jiang Xinyu pull him away as they turned to leave.
Today's show was really interesting.
It seems that the little glutton wasn't lying to him; he really doesn't like Zhao Chengye at all.
However, the information obtained by the Eastern Depot does not say that. Can a person change so much in just a few days?
Or perhaps, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family always made foolish mistakes because she was blinded by love.
Now that she knows Zhao Chengye schemed against her, which is why she turned her love into hatred, her mind has become clearer.
Xiao Yuan looked at Jiang Xinyu with scrutiny and incomprehension, but there was no doubt that he did not dislike this woman; on the contrary, he was very interested in her.
He had been in the palace since childhood and had seen all kinds of women, but he could never figure out which type Jiang Xinyu belonged to.
This girl has an inexplicable quality about her, making her seem out of place in this world.
In particular, she seemed genuinely not to dislike eunuchs, and she was incredibly shameless.
She dared to hug his arm and hold his hand in public, and even threatened him with his reputation. Didn't she know that such behavior would ruin her own reputation?
Jiang Xinyu naturally knew this, but sometimes she just couldn't remember to pay attention.
After being reborn into this world, she hasn't met many people. It seems that apart from her aunt, only Xiao Yuan is on her side.
The rest can all be described as having red names, including her two personal maids, who are yellow names with a red tinge, the kind who could stab her in the back at any time.
She felt that she was not good at seeing through people's hearts, and she dared not easily make friends in this era.
So, at present, Xiao Yuan is the only person she is relatively close to.
Moreover, this is her legal spouse, and if he really doesn't have any perverted hobbies, she really wants to continue living with him like this.
First of all, Xiao Yuan's appearance matches Jiang Xinyu's aesthetic, and she also likes his personality; he's not the kind of self-righteous, chauvinistic man.
Although she was knocked unconscious last night, the other party did indeed comply with her request to spare Cuizhu.
Moreover, the harsh words he said to her were mostly just bluffing; he didn't seem like the type of person who would abuse his wife.
Jiang Xinyu is not sure if she will fall in love with someone in the future, but if she really has to find someone to settle down with, she thinks Xiao Yuan is a good choice.
She'd rather leave the life of being surrounded by women and having eight babies after transmigrating to someone else; she wouldn't dare give birth here given the medical conditions.
Moreover, taking concubines is legal here, and the idea of a lifelong monogamous relationship is a legendary existence; you couldn't find more than a handful of such people in the entire Jin Dynasty.
Moreover, not taking a concubine simply means not giving her a title or allowing her to have children.
Maids, flower girls, and dancers are not considered concubines. A man may have slept with dozens of women, but as long as he doesn't give them a title, it's considered that he hasn't taken a concubine.
Not to mention others, that's exactly what her scumbag father did.
Jiang Xinyu would never allow herself to be reduced to fighting with a group of women for a single shared man.
If you are heartless, then I will leave. She will never linger if a man cheats on her.
But having a child would be like having a weakness, so she didn't want to have one and didn't dare to.
It's fine as it is now.
If you have money, free time, and a husband who is pleasing to the eye and treats you well, and if he is devoted to you, then you can live a peaceful and happy life together.
If he also has the typical male flaws of being fickle and having multiple women, without the burden of children, it would be easy for her to extricate herself in the future.
