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

Li Shilang, a pampered civil official whose most tiring job was sleeping with women, didn't have much strength. After kicking Madam Li a few times, he ended up panting for breath.

Madam Li was no better off.

This was the only time in her life she had ever been brutally beaten, and she was curled up on the ground, clutching her stomach, looking utterly pathetic.

When Chief Li saw that things had gone far enough, he snorted and stopped them, saying, "Alright, there's no point in saying more now."

Fortunately, the outcome was not bad. The Emperor has not pursued the matter further, and Mingyue has been married into a high-ranking family. This will make it relatively easier for girls in the clan to find husbands in the future.

Although Li has made a grave mistake, let her copy some scriptures in the Buddhist hall for the sake of Mingyue.

"Now that there's so much talk outside, let's not give ourselves a reason to laugh at ourselves."

Vice Minister Li quickly bowed and replied, "Yes," and then ordered his men to lock the lady in the Buddhist hall before inviting the clan head into the flower hall.

While the two were exchanging information in a low voice, an inconspicuous old woman slipped out of the side gate and began to clean up the mess as instructed by Li.

Now that the matter is settled, the families of Green Bamboo Spring Red and others can be released.

This was a great vow made by Li before the Buddha. If it were to come to fruition, she would never kill or harm any living being again. Now it was time to fulfill her vow.

Ultimately, the marriage exchange between the two families doesn't bother anyone else. As long as Chief Supervisor Xiao doesn't pursue the matter and the Emperor doesn't get angry, she has nothing to fear, and no one will be so blind as to continue investigating this matter.

After her mother left, Li Mingyue returned to her new room dejectedly. While having the maids and servants organize her dowry, she listened to Li Mama give her a lesson.

Having witnessed the Duchess's ferocious side and Zhao Zhenzhen's shamelessness and arrogance today, she was truly frightened. She was no longer as impatient with Li Mama's nagging as she used to be.

Sometimes growing up happens in the blink of an eye.

Before the arranged marriage, she was only worried that the marriage would not go through and had no time to consider anything else. Now that it has happened, she has begun to worry about her future life.

The mother and daughter were planning such a big thing behind their father's back, so it was impossible for him not to be furious. The mother was currently overwhelmed with her own problems and could only rely on herself.

The Duke's mansion wasn't as glamorous as she had imagined, and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law didn't seem easy to deal with. Now, she had no other choice but to hold on to her brother Chengye.

But that medicine...

Li Mingyue couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the imperial physician's diagnosis.

Brother Chengye can't have sex for at least six months. The way he looked at her back then was as if he wanted to devour her. Can she really win back Brother Chengye's heart?

Thinking of this, Li Mingyue couldn't help but shed tears, stroking her belly with a sorrowful expression.

If only she were pregnant now, otherwise she wouldn't know how she would get through the next six months.

What if the Duchess makes her stand in the proper order?

What if Zhao Zhenzhen tries to steal my dowry?

Will Chengye help her?

Originally, Li Mingyue was only focused on her love, and she always felt that as long as she married the person she loved, she was not afraid of any hardship.

But it wasn't until she actually got married that she realized marriage wasn't just between two people; she had to face the whole family.

There are some hardships she simply cannot bear, and no amount of love can bring her sweetness.

Li Mingyue's prediction soon came true. She did not see Zhao Chengye that night. It was said that the young master had moved to the front yard to study diligently.

That's understandable. Chunhong's strong medicine almost ruined him, so Zhao Chengye would follow the doctor's advice carefully for the sake of his future and health.

Not to mention that he never liked Li Mingyue, he didn't even bring his two beloved maids who used to keep him company.

Even the servants were replaced with burly, ugly men, for fear that if he had even the slightest desire, all his efforts would be in vain.

The Duchess was also on high alert, even sending messages to her son via an old nanny.

She only has this one son and they haven't had any children yet. If he becomes impotent, she'll have nowhere to turn.

The thought of why her son had become like this made her hate Li Mingyue so much that her teeth itched. If it weren't for her son saying that there were too many people paying attention to him and it wasn't good to cause trouble, she would have loved to slap that bitch's face to pieces.

Although he couldn't hit the Duchess, he didn't intend to let her go, and Li Mingyue soon found herself living a life of misery.

While Jiang Xinyu was still fast asleep, clutching her blanket, when the sun was high in the sky, Li Mingyue had already gotten up early and was standing in front of the Duchess's door waiting to pay her respects.

The Duchess planned to use every trick in the book to woo her daughter-in-law, from brewing tea and pouring water to fanning her and massaging her back.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a three-day homecoming ceremony, the situation would probably be even worse.

Li Mingyue spent the whole day with the Duchess, so tired that her back and legs ached and she didn't eat well. When she finally got home that night, her eyes were swollen from crying.

I wonder if she would regret it if she had memories of her previous life. Apart from spending a night in the bridal chamber with her beloved, her circumstances were completely different from those of her previous life.

Xiao Yuan is a responsible person. Although he doesn't have a very good temper, he wouldn't take his anger out on an innocent woman.

In his previous life, when Li Mingyue and he were getting married, some scholars caused trouble. After Xiao Yuan resolved the situation, he lifted the veil, said a few words, and returned to the palace. He didn't return to his residence for more than half a month afterward.

Li Mingyue was so afraid of Xiao Yuan that she would tremble at the sight of him. Xiao Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to her, and even when he returned to the mansion, he would not enter her courtyard.

The two of them lived their lives peacefully, and the servants in the mansion treated her with utmost respect.

Xiao Yuan was rich but not stingy. Although she didn't have the power to manage the household affairs of the governor's mansion, she was still paid a generous monthly allowance, and she had no shortage of various gifts, jewelry, or clothing.

A few months later, feeling bored in the mansion, she boldly asked Xiao Yuan if she could visit her mother. Xiao Yuan agreed, and later she could go out for several days a month without anyone interfering.

It can be said that, apart from the lack of marital life and children, Li Mingyue's married life is the envy of many.

So much so that when she later colluded with Zhao Chengye to frame Xiao Yuan, many people secretly said she was stupid, choosing to court death instead of living a good life.

Unfortunately, she can forget about having that kind of life again in this lifetime, unless she can give birth to the Duke's grandson as soon as possible and win back Zhao Chengye's heart.

Otherwise, the difficulties caused by the mother-in-law and sister-in-law will never end.

She felt miserable after only one day, but little did she know that this was only because she was being careful to handle things gently when she returned to her parents' home tomorrow; otherwise, she wouldn't even have the strength to cry right now.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xinyu was as happy as a little mouse that had fallen into a rice jar, spending all her time eating, sleeping, and teasing her shy husband.

She had never experienced the thrill of falling in love at first sight, but she was now growing to like Xiao Yuan more and more.

Her husband is so good; he's truly generous and always there for her.

I just mentioned yesterday that I would check her dowry shop, and today I've already brought her the information.

Each and every incident was written clearly and concisely, making it easy to understand. Even he, a novice in personnel management, knew which ones could be kept and which ones should be fired.

The shopkeeper of one of the shops was a distant relative of the Liu family.

A certain village head committed crimes and abused his power under the guise of the Jiang family.

A certain shop, despite being highly profitable, appeared to be losing money; the explanation couldn't be clearer.

Xiao Yuan even took the opportunity to investigate Liu's family background, finding everything from her brother's embezzlement and bribery to her nephew's forced sexual assault of a maid.

Jiang Xinyu gave him a thumbs-up in admiration.

As expected, the novel wasn't entirely fictional; the Eastern Depot's agents were indeed engaging in petty theft...

Pshaw, they're definitely experts at investigation and evidence collection.

She's incredibly meticulous, especially when it comes to interpersonal relationships; I don't even know this:

How did they uncover the connection that the uncle of Jiang Wanqiu's second-class maid was the godfather of the nephew of her sister-in-law, and the sixth uncle of the godfather of the shopkeeper Li, who was part of her dowry?
