After Xiao Yuan finished his tantrum, he turned and left, but he regretted it as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard.

It wasn't that he regretted losing his temper in front of Jiang Xinyu and scaring her; it was that he regretted not giving that hateful woman a good beating.

He felt he might be possessed, otherwise why would he be so indulgent towards that shameless woman?

If anyone had dared to touch his sore spot in the past, he would have killed them on the spot if he could, and if it was really difficult to do so or to clean up the mess, he would have slowly plotted to kill them.

Anyway, it's not like this impotent rage that's making me so angry that my liver hurts.

But he's already out, so why should he go back and teach his woman a lesson?

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Supervisor Xiao ultimately returned to his courtyard in a huff.

He needs to sort out what happened in the past two days.

His godfather had taught him a lot before that those who want to do great things should avoid being swayed by their emotions. Once someone disrupts their rhythm and guesses their thoughts, they are more likely to reveal their weaknesses.

He has maintained a good image over the years, whether he is angry or laughing depends only on the effect he will get, and he has never revealed his true feelings.

But now he's broken his bond with a woman he's only known for a short time. If his godfather were still alive, he would probably be severely punished.

Xiao Yuan, holed up in his room, twirled the ring his godfather had left him. He tried to convince himself that the reason he hadn't slapped Jiang Xinyu twice wasn't because he was soft-hearted; he was simply trying to avoid giving others cause for criticism.

After all, the emperor had just told him to live a good life, and he had to remain humble and composed in this critical situation.

How hateful! How can there be such a shameless woman in this world?

She's supposed to be a lady from a respectable family; even without careful guidance, she shouldn't be so shameless.

Thinking of Jiang Xinyu's cunning and charming manner when she teased him, Xiao Yuan angrily smashed a teacup again, and his mood slowly changed from melancholy to fierceness.

No matter what your purpose was in approaching me, now that we've gone through the wedding ceremony, you can only be my woman.

Even if I can't use it, I will never let someone else benefit from it. Don't even think about making me let you go.

Jiang Xinyu left the courtyard only a short time after Xiao Yuan, but unfortunately Xiao Yuan had already disappeared.

The two maids who came out with her were like gourds with their mouths sawed off; whenever asked about Xiao Yuan, they would shake their heads three times, and if asked again, they would kneel down and kowtow.

Jiang Xinyu, a modern girl, couldn't bear to watch this, and she knew that they would probably be punished for revealing their master's whereabouts, so she could only wander aimlessly.

The governor's mansion covers a large area, with pavilions, towers, rockeries, and ponds.

It is now the season of spring warmth and blooming flowers.

The golden forsythia has not yet faded, and the pale pink peach blossoms have already bloomed. The spring breeze caresses the face, and the weeping willows sway gently. The pond, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, glistens with light, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Take a deep breath, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of grass and trees and the scent of peach blossoms.

Jiang Xinyu was stunned for a moment, and tears welled up in her eyes as she watched the koi swimming around in the pond.

There was a time when she could stroll with her friends amidst green hills, clear waters, birdsong, and fragrant flowers.

Even though the air wasn't as fresh as it was because of the smell of exhaust fumes, everything was still so wonderful.

Unfortunately, a sudden apocalypse destroyed everything. Her relatives and friends turned into zombies and died tragically, and the place was filled with the stench of decay and rot.

Even though the plants grew wildly due to the lack of human destruction, mutated insects and zombie animals that blotted out the sky followed one after another, and the beautiful parks and tourist areas quickly turned into hell on earth.

She hadn't seen butterflies fluttering in a long time, and even the faint chirping of insects made her feel full of life.

The environment here is really nice.

Unfortunately, her family and friends did not have the opportunity to see this natural and unpolluted beauty.

The two maids in the governor's mansion exchanged a glance, neither daring to utter a sound, but their eyes revealed their anxiety.

They dared not reveal the location of the Grand Eunuch's bedroom, but it wouldn't do for the lady to keep wandering around like this.

The lady was so tired after only a short walk that she cried. How could they bear the responsibility if she hurt herself from crying?

Jiang Xinyu suddenly didn't want to leave and sat on a rock by the lake, staring blankly at the koi.

In the past few days since she transmigrated, she has been constantly on edge, scheming and plotting, her mind never really stopping.

Now that I suddenly have some free time, I've become rather sentimental.

She felt like she couldn't fit into this world, and she couldn't stand many people and things, yet she was powerless to do anything about it.

This feeling was like the first time she hit a zombie's head with her baseball bat at the beginning of the apocalypse.

I know I have to do it and force myself to do it and adapt, but I feel lost and disgusted.

She was even more afraid that she would gradually become cold-blooded and stop at nothing to survive.

Just like now, she is afraid.

I fear that one day I will become a complete ancient person, easily uttering words like selling violence and killing.

But this is precisely the law of survival in this era, and she can only be swept along by it.

Jiang Xinyu doesn't consider herself a pushover, but she would still feel guilty if someone died because of her.

She wasn't a child when she died in her previous life, and she had her own views on love and marriage.

Having witnessed countless dramatic and passionate love stories, she prefers a more balanced and enduring relationship.

Give half of your love, and use the other half to love yourself.

I like you, but not to the point where I can't live without you. My attraction to you stems from that other half of my affection, but also from the fact that we are a good match.

Not so pure nor so fragile, she is dedicated enough yet never loses herself.

Jiang Xinyu sat there blankly, thinking about her happy life before, the pain and hardship of the apocalypse, and... her future with Xiao Yuan.

It is said that there is a generation gap every three years. The Great Jin Dynasty is a fictional dynasty in the novel, and its social structure is somewhat similar to that of the Song Dynasty.

There are countless gaps between Xiao Yuan and her, thousands of years of differences in their understanding. Can they really get along?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyu felt a little regretful. Her joke today was too explicit and not something that Xiao Yuan, an ancient person, could accept.

Another issue is that she was too presumptuous; she didn't care about Xiao Yuan's disability and therefore overlooked how much he cared.

Just like when she was in school, the aesthetic of being fair-skinned, thin, and chubby had permeated all social classes. Even if someone told a girl that they liked her when she was chubby and fleshy, she would probably just think it was a consolation.

They've only known each other for such a short time; it would be a miracle if Xiao Yuan believed he didn't care that he was a eunuch.

But heaven knows, she really didn't care.

In an era where dirty cucumbers are everywhere and childbirth is a life-or-death struggle, it's rare to find a high-quality man like Xiao Yuan who is handsome, powerful, has few responsibilities, and plenty of money.

What does it matter whether someone is castrated or not? Even if you don't marry a castrated man, you can still have three wives and four concubines and a bunch of maids, and you might have them several times a year. You'll still be living a life of widowhood.

Then you'll have to take care of the whole family's food, drink, and basic needs, and raise that man's concubines, illegitimate children, and illegitimate children. It's like you're losing out big time!

Especially when you encounter that troublesome concubine, who is always making demands and trying to sow discord.

With her temper, she'd either burn herself to death or drive herself to her death.

Tsk tsk, the more Jiang Xinyu thought about it, the better she felt about Xiao Yuan.

She acted recklessly several times, but the other person remained quite calm, and even when she finally lost her temper, she didn't hit her.

In this day and age, he's already considered a model of a good man.
