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

Xiao Yuan's departure from the mansion was naturally partly to avoid Jiang Xinyu, but in reality, the Eastern Depot was not without its tasks.

Not to mention new cases, there are still dozens of people locked up in the imperial prison. If they want to find work, they will never be able to stay idle.

The head eunuchs of the Eastern Depot were puzzled to see their supervisor come to work on the second day after his wedding. However, Xiao Yuan's prestige was too great, and no one dared to ask. They exchanged gossipy glances.

They had heard that the Grand Eunuch had struck it lucky this time, actually marrying the former wife of the Duke of Ningguo's heir.

Not only was her father a higher official position and had a larger dowry, but she was also said to be exceptionally beautiful, far surpassing the original Miss Li.

Although their supervisor was wealthy, powerful, and deeply trusted by the emperor, he was still a step below in status, and the legitimate daughter of a fourth-rank official had never even dared to dream of marrying him.

Now, by sheer chance, it came to me effortlessly; such luck is truly enviable.

To keep his mind occupied and prevent himself from having wild thoughts, Xiao Yuan took the initiative to go to the imperial prison to interrogate the suspect, and he was so busy that it was almost noon.

When he was released from the prison, he learned that the people in his residence had been waiting for him for half a day.

The Eastern Depot has its own rules; once someone is imprisoned, no one can easily disturb them.

Unless it was a summons from the Emperor or something of great importance, no one would go in to inform them of anything, which meant that the people in the Supervisor's Office would wait in vain.

Xiao Yuan felt a sudden sense of exhaustion upon hearing that Jiang Xinyu was causing trouble again. His little wife was really something else; how could she have so much energy every day?

Can't you just sit back and read books and do embroidery?

However, after listening to the little eunuch's explanation, Xiao Yuan no longer felt that the steward was making a fuss.

After all, eating three hundred-year-old ginseng roots at once is no different from taking poison. If you accidentally die, you really won't be able to explain it away.

However, Xiao Yuan wasn't in a huge hurry.

It's hard to say about other aspects, but his wife has always been unpredictable when it comes to food.

Since she asked me to do this, she must be confident that there shouldn't be any danger.

After all, he's a tough guy who can eat 60 dishes at once, so he might not be unable to digest just three ginseng roots.

Even knowing that Xiao Yuan had gone back, she still convinced herself that she was just going back to see what was going on.

Xiao Yuan's return was quite opportune, because the ginseng soup, which the kitchen staff had deliberately delayed, was indeed not yet finished.

It's fortunate that Jiang Xinyu doesn't like to make things difficult for people, otherwise the ginseng soup that took from morning until noon to finish would have been enough to earn the cook 30 lashes.

But no matter how much she delayed, she couldn't wait for Xiao Yuan to return. With lunchtime approaching, the cook had no excuse and could only have someone bring the soup over for her.

It's really quite a lot. Ten old hens, along with ingredients like fish maw, dried scallops, sea cucumber, and shark fin, make several large bowls of soup dregs. If you were to serve it in small agate bowls, you wouldn't have enough bowls in the house.

Even if you just put it in a big soup bowl, there are still 20 bowls full. It's quite a sight when the dish is served.

Jiang Xinyu finally got to drink the ginseng chicken soup she had been longing for, and her eyes crinkled with happiness.

The high-end version is indeed different; this soup is so delicious it'll make your tongue tingle.

While drinking, Jiang Xinyu was still complaining in her heart.

It's no wonder that the Grand Eunuch is always so wealthy. Look at all the good stuff here; the food here is probably no worse than that of some high-ranking officials.

Anyway, the meals she had at the Jiang family's house were not even a fraction of this amount.

A sea cucumber as long as a palm, wow, even in modern times it would be a rare delicacy she couldn't afford.

They've made a fortune! No wonder everyone wants to climb the social ladder. The happiness of the rich is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

When Xiao Yuan entered, Jiang Xinyu had already drunk six bowls of soup. At this moment, she was happily chewing on a large sea cucumber with chopsticks.

This girl doesn't hold grudges. When she saw Xiao Yuan cheerfully waving his hand and inviting him to drink soup together, it was as if she wasn't the only one who angrily cursed the eunuch and avoided her that morning.

Xiao Yuan looked at the large porcelain basin on the table, which was specifically for storing food scraps, and felt dizzy. Was their cook really that unreliable? He actually put whole ginseng roots in it.

The scariest thing is that there are only two ginseng roots left, and I guess this girl has already eaten one of them.

Jiang Xinyu became alert when she saw Xiao Yuan staring at the ginseng. She put down the sea cucumber she was eating and put the ginseng into her own bowl as if she was afraid that someone would steal it from her.

She didn't care about manners and just crunched it into her mouth like she was eating a radish.

Xiao Yuan twitched his lips. "There are many ways to commit suicide. Isn't yours a bit too expensive?"

That's a century-old ginseng, are you sure it's okay for you to eat it like that?"

Jiang Xinyu just nodded perfunctorily, and only breathed a sigh of relief after swallowing both ginseng roots.

"I think it tastes pretty good. I've had it once at home too."

It's a pity that the ginseng in my dowry was all unusable, otherwise I would have eaten it every day.

"That Liu is truly despicable, actually trying to pass off inferior goods as superior ones. Tomorrow, when we return to our parents' home, let's not bring any gifts; let's just send that pile of junk back to him."

Xiao Yuan listened to Jiang Xinyu's complaints without getting annoyed, and calmly served himself a small bowl of ginseng soup.

In the past, when making ginseng soup, he would add a few slices at a time. This was the first time he had ever drunk soup made with a whole ginseng root.

His young wife ate the whole ginseng root and didn't have a nosebleed, so he didn't know if it was because the ginseng wasn't very effective.

As it turned out, no one dared to be perfunctory with Xiao Yanwang. The ginseng from the Supervisor's Mansion was indeed quite potent. Xiao Yuan only took two sips before feeling his blood surging and his hands and feet burning.

As expected, he couldn't be forced. Xiao Yuan quickly put down the bowl and circulated his internal energy for a while until his forehead was slightly sweaty before stopping.

Fortunately, I only drank two small sips; the medicine was indeed very potent.

If a normal person drank like Jiang Xinyu, they would probably have a burst blood vessel in no time.

What kind of monster did he marry? Is it really okay for him to drink it bowl after bowl like this?

Facts speak louder than words; he was indeed overthinking it.

Jiang Xinyu really drank every last drop of the chicken soup, not even wasting the half bowl that Xiao Yuan had left.

Xiao Yuan turned his face away awkwardly, but he was overjoyed inside. She... didn't dislike him.

It was lunchtime, and as soon as Xiao Yuan entered the mansion's kitchen, they started preparing the meal.

The kitchen only prepared a dozen or so dishes because the lady had said in advance that she would have soup today and didn't need to prepare too much.

Xiao Yuan was full after eating two bowls of rice, and Jiang Xinyu, adhering to the principle of not wasting food, finished off the remaining dishes.

The effects of ginseng are indeed much stronger than those of ordinary food. Jiang Xinyu felt the power in her body and her eyes shone with excitement.

She had a feeling that if she punched the table now, she would crack it.

This feels so good.

A beautiful young woman of sixteen or seventeen, she killed a young man with a single punch.

She was finally no longer helpless and at the mercy of others.

If all her powers were restored, she couldn't even imagine how happy she would be as a little girl.

So, this guy set his sights on Xiao Yuan again.

Zhuangzi shop traded ginseng.

If she and Xiao Yuan could grow old together, she wouldn't care whose estates and shops they owned.

If she can't get along with this guy and wants to run away, she won't be able to take those things with her, so she might as well just give them to him.

That way, she wouldn't feel embarrassed eating the other person's ginseng and deer antler. Xiao Yuan was both amused and exasperated when his wife told him she wanted to transfer ownership of the estate and shops to him in exchange for tonics.

"I'll have the housekeeper send the tonics to your room later. Stop thinking about things on a whim all the time."

"Does the dignified Chief Supervisor of the Eastern Depot not even care about a few ginseng roots for his own wife?"

Jiang Xinyu immediately pounced into Xiao Yuan's arms and snuggled against him, then took advantage of his dazed state to steal two kisses.

Men are indeed most handsome when they're paying; even their arrogant, disdainful look is captivating.

I've hit the jackpot! Turns out, a husband isn't a gender, but a feeling.

Who wouldn't be smitten by such a boyfriend-like husband?
