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

Jiang Xinyu was not a native of this world, and she only had a superficial understanding of many of the unspoken rules of ancient times.

She wasn't exactly a brilliant strategist or a master of palace intrigue; she was just incredibly lucky to escape unscathed after this arranged marriage.

Xiao Yuan wasn't trying to scare her, but she felt uneasy about killing two young girls when there was no pressure to survive.

Chunxing, in particular, was someone whose grateful nature suited her taste quite well.

Chunhong betrayed her.

But because of her own actions, Chunhong's whole family was kidnapped. If she were in Chunhong's shoes, she probably would have made the same choice.

One is the boss you've served for over a decade, the other is the lives of your entire family. Anyone with a brain knows which to choose.

The chances of the little girl surviving if her tongue was cut off and she was given a drug to make her mute were slim.

She had already killed too many people in the post-apocalyptic struggle for survival, and she really didn't want to take any more unnecessary deaths.

Xiao Yuan snorted coldly as he looked at Jiang Xinyu's conflicted expression.

“I know you haven’t received any education as the mistress of the house, but since you’ve become the lady of this house, there are some things you should learn.”

A jack-of-all-trades is a loyal subject who is only loyal to the emperor. I don't need to cultivate connections, and you don't need to be adept at social maneuvering or being charming and sophisticated.

The household accounts are also managed by a steward. You can take care of miscellaneous tasks such as welcoming guests, sending off guests, income, and expenditure if you want, or it doesn't matter if you don't want to learn.

Just remember two things: first, you must not betray me; second, don't do anything stupid that will drag me down with you.

You can handle the matter of the two girls yourself. No matter how you decide, I can cover for you in this small matter.

But you must also understand that hesitation only leads to more trouble, and sometimes being soft-hearted can harm more people.

Jiang Xinyu slumped onto the table and waved her hand dejectedly.

"I know, you want me to take a break first."

By the way, my husband, please send someone to bring Chunxing over. She is also my personal maid.

I'm afraid that if she's detained by Liu at the Jiang family's house, something else might happen.

Also, Chunhong's family members have been detained by Madam Li. You should come and settle them first. It's safer to keep the hostages in your own hands.

Although Chunxing was born into a family, she was not close to her family and cared about no one except Chunhong.

If we have leverage over Chunhong's family, these two maids aren't entirely unusable.

Human hearts are fickle; it's more practical to seize leverage over someone's weaknesses than to gamble on something as illusory as loyalty.

I know these two at least somewhat; if it were someone else, they might not be much better.

Xiao Yuan nodded in satisfaction. "What you said makes sense. If you really can't bear to part with these two girls, it's fine to keep them around by your side while holding onto their weaknesses."

Not bad, not utterly stupid.

Jiang Xinyu rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

"Good steel should be used where it's needed most. What's wrong with being a little foolish once in a while? Save up a big move and you can turn the tide immediately."

Xiao Yuan chuckled, "For example? Zhao Zhenzhen bullied me dozens of times and stole a bunch of things from me, and today she got them all back in one go?"

"What a disappointment! All that suffering you endured before was for nothing?"

Jiang Xinyu smiled slyly and grabbed Xiao Yuan's sleeve.

"That's nothing, just a little over two thousand taels of silver. My ultimate move is right here."

I chose a handsome, charming, gentle, considerate, generous, and responsible man for myself.

Xiao Yuan's ears turned slightly red, and with a cold expression, he flicked his sleeve and turned away.

"There's no need for flattery. Don't think that I'll indulge you just because you flatter me."

The eccentric is often called a living devil, so don't expect him to be gentle and considerate.

Even the Governor's Office has its own rules; if you dare to break them, you'll still be punished.

I'm not very generous either. From now on, I'll only cook one meal for you. If you want more of your dowry money, go ahead.

Tch, you dog of a man.

If it weren't for your red ears, I would have actually believed your nonsense.

Jiang Xinyu increasingly felt that Xiao Yuan didn't match the rumors, and she actually had the audacity to go over there again.

"How can my husband do this? What kind of man doesn't feed his wife?"

She went hungry at her parents' home for over ten years, never having a full meal. Now that she's finally married, she has to go hungry again. Husband, how can you bear to see her like this?

Xiao Yuan brushed Jiang Xinyu's hand away in disgust.

"Stop pulling and tugging. Your own father could bear to starve you for more than ten years, so why shouldn't I?"

"You don't even know how much you can eat. Who can feed you like that?"

"You, the dignified head of the Eastern Depot, can't even support your own wife, and you're quite proud of it?"

"A woman marries a man for food and clothing; if he doesn't provide for me, why should I marry him?"

At this point, Jiang Xinyu suddenly laughed, her hand playfully poking Xiao Yuan's chest.

"It's fine if you don't provide meals; my dowry is enough to eat."

But I can't just get no benefits from getting married, can I?

As the sage said, "Food and sex are human nature."

It's one thing to not provide enough food, but surely they can't also not provide enough in that area.

My lord, I await your wedding night tonight.

With a crack, the door in front of them shattered.

Xiao Yuan's eyes turned bloodshot and his voice became shrill.

“If Miss Jiang is not satisfied with her desires, she should not have married a eunuch like me.”

Do you know what a eunuch is?

Hehe, how would a young lady like you know?

But it's too late for you to regret it now. You can only spend the rest of your life rotting in this courtyard, living with me, a eunuch.

If you dare to cheat on me, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs.

After uttering those harsh words, Xiao Yuan turned and left without waiting for Jiang Xinyu's explanation, leaving behind only broken door panels scattered on the ground.

Jiang Xinyu didn't expect Xiao Yuan to react so strongly. He didn't react much when she teased him last night, so why did he suddenly go berserk today?

Damn, that dead eunuch is even more unpredictable than she is when she has her period.

I went to great lengths to marry you, how could I not know what a eunuch is?

So what if he's a eunuch? You grew up surrounded by eunuchs, don't you know eunuchs can have marital relations?

Jiang Xinyu grew angrier the more she thought about it. Couldn't they just talk things out properly?

What did my door do to you?

The two were talking inside the room while the maids and servants were waiting outside. Xiao Yuan smashed the door and stormed out, scaring everyone so much that they knelt on the ground. They didn't dare to get up until the Grand Eunuch left the courtyard.

They had been in this mansion for quite some time, and this was the first time they had ever seen the Grand Eunuch so angry.

In the past, if anything angered him, he would simply dismiss it with a casual remark like "kill him."

This new wife is really something; even though the eunuch smashed the door, he didn't strangle her.

It seems they'll have to pay more attention to the lady from now on; this is true love.

Seeing the maids come over to clean up the broken pieces, Jiang Xinyu angrily slammed her hand on the table.

"What kind of temper does your master have? If he's angry, why does he have to tear down the door?"

The two maids were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness, saying that they would find someone to fix it right away and tidy up another room for the lady to rest in.

Seeing how frightened the two girls were, Jiang Xinyu quickly waved her hand and said, "Get up, get up. I'm not angry with you."

Forget it, let's find someone to fix the door first.

There's no need to tidy up the room; I'll go sleep in Xiao Yuan's room.

By the way, do you know where he went?

I have to get to the bottom of this with him today.

The two maids shook their heads in fright; even if they knew the whereabouts of the Grand Eunuch, they dared not speak.

The lady is too brave; she actually dares to challenge the Eunuch. Isn't she afraid that the Eunuch will beat her to death?
