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

Xiao Yuan made one mistake after another. He felt guilty for misunderstanding his wife in the morning, and Jiang Xinyu took the opportunity to vent her anger, so he just endured it.

As a result, his young wife took the opportunity to act arrogantly, showing no sign of the fear she had shown him just two days ago.

Once prestige is broken, it's hard to rebuild. Even if he pretended to be angry and glared at her, Jiang Xinyu wasn't afraid of him. Instead, she rubbed his face and laughed unrestrainedly.

When Xiao Yuan realized he couldn't intimidate the lady, he gave up. There were so many people who were afraid of him, so he didn't need another one.

He himself didn't want Jiang Xinyu to see him trembling like a mouse seeing a cat; he preferred the lively, agile, and slightly lewd little glutton.

However, one still needs to maintain appearances in front of outsiders. As the carriage stopped, Xiao Yuan quickly slapped his wife's hand away, telling her to be more reserved.

Jiang Xinyu suppressed her smile and nodded solemnly, then straightened her clothes and adopted the demeanor of a virtuous gentleman.

Xiao Yuan straightened his slightly disheveled clothes and jumped off the carriage first, unconsciously reaching out to help Jiang Xinyu.

The Jiang family members who were greeting them at the door were all incredulous. Jiang Huai was alright, but Liu Shi and Jiang Wanqiu were filled with hatred.

Isn't it said that old eunuchs are the most capricious and take pleasure in tormenting people?

Why did Supervisor Xiao value Jiang Xinyu so much and accompany her on her homecoming?

In Liu's opinion, Jiang Xinyu should not have returned to her parents' home today. Even if she did, she should have returned alone, looking haggard and disheveled, to tell how badly she had been humiliated and beg her family to take her back.

Marrying a eunuch inevitably involves being beaten, so why does she look so shy and seem to be doing just fine?

This shouldn't be the case. Why should she be living such a good life?

That wretched woman, Qian, ruined her own life and made her daughter Wanqiu a concubine's daughter. Why should her daughter have a good life?

As Liu grew increasingly resentful, her face contorted into a ferocious expression, while Jiang Xinyu gave her a provocative smile.

I love how you can't stand me but can't do anything about it. Come on, bite me if you dare.

Seeing Jiang Xinyu's arrogant demeanor, Liu felt a surge of anger rising to her head. If she hadn't been used to pretending to be a virtuous woman in public, she would have slapped her across the face right now.

Jiang Wanqiu also saw Jiang Xinyu's provocation and gripped Liu's arm tightly, afraid that her mother would ruin things in a fit of anger.

The mother and daughter tolerated Jiang Xinyu, but they had no intention of letting it go. She had come here to cause trouble, and it would be a waste not to make a scene.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyu took two quick steps, took Liu's arm, and warmly called her "Auntie," adding that she had missed her family these past two days.

Liu was startled by her sudden outburst, and then a sharp pain shot through her arm, causing her to instinctively shake off Jiang Xinyu's hand.

Jiang Xinyu had been waiting for this moment. As Liu swung her arm, she immediately leaned back and fell straight towards Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan had only taken two steps when he heard the sound and turned around. Upon seeing that it was Madam who had fallen, he quickly reached out and pulled Jiang Xinyu into his arms. Then, without thinking, he flipped his right hand and slapped Liu Shi across the face.

Although it wasn't a direct physical fight, Xiao Yuan's external force was considerable. Not only Liu Shi, but even Jiang Wanqiu, who was supporting her, was knocked to the ground by the force of his palm strike.

Jiang Xinyu was overjoyed; the legendary ability to project internal energy outwards and strike from afar—her husband was just too handsome.

She was so incredibly sexy that she couldn't keep her legs together.

Fortunately, the ancients didn't know its value; if this treasure were in modern times, she might not be able to snatch it even if she fought tooth and nail for it.

Liu and Jiang Wanqiu were completely bewildered, not understanding why things had developed this way.

They haven't even entered the mansion yet; how dare they do that in public?

The accident came so suddenly that not only were Jiang Huai at a loss and Liu's mother and daughter in disbelief, but even the onlookers were captivated.

The Jiang family's residence was located in a bustling area surrounded by the homes of officials and dignitaries. Some nosy people, knowing that it was the day the sons-in-law of the Jiang and Li families were returning to their parents' homes, secretly gathered in front of the gate to watch the spectacle.

In all the years since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, there has never been a case of an official's daughter getting into the wrong bridal sedan chair and being replaced by a different groom.

In addition, the two grooms are vastly different, one being an old eunuch and the other the heir of a duke's mansion, so everyone is curious to see how the two girls will live after they are switched at birth.

There was nothing particularly surprising about the return of the Li family's daughter and the Duke's son.

The bride looked somewhat haggard and sullen, while the young master was a refined, upright, and gentlemanly man.

Everyone privately discussed that the Li family's daughter was very fortunate; the daughter of a fifth-rank official had married into the Duke's mansion as the wife of the heir, thus avoiding the fate of marrying an old eunuch.

This isn't just good luck; it's like they were incredibly lucky in their past life.

However, some sharp-eyed people saw through the trick, saying that one should only take on what one is capable of, and that it's not so easy to climb too high.

Didn't you see how pale Li's daughter was, not even a smile on her face? I guess she's of low status and not well-liked by her in-laws.

Some people disagreed, saying that even if they were disliked by their husband's family, it was still better than marrying an old eunuch.

A woman's most important thing is having children. Even if she is not well received by her husband's family now, things will be better if she gives birth to a son. What hope is there if she marries a eunuch?

Those rootless eunuchs who cannot have sex are the most perverted; they are all adept at torturing people.

Just watch, the Jiang family's daughters are probably so tormented they can't even get up anymore, otherwise why haven't they returned home yet?

However, this argument had barely been made when the carriage from the Governor's Mansion arrived, and everyone eagerly turned their attention to see how the Jiang family's daughter would react.

The result was a great disappointment. The Jiang family girl was radiant and glowing, showing no signs of having been wronged.

Just when everyone thought there was no more excitement to be had, another big surprise came out.

No one expected that Madam Liu, who was nominally a concubine but actually a second wife in the Jiang family, would be so bold as to push away the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife. Even more unexpectedly, Chief Supervisor Xiao protected his wife in a domineering manner and slapped Madam Liu across the face.

Wow, that's amazing, absolutely amazing!

On one side is a powerful and influential son-in-law whom one cannot afford to offend, and on the other is a beloved concubine who has borne him children and managed the household for many years.

They wanted to see how Jianghuai would handle this matter.

What can Jianghuai do?

Jianghuai is also in despair!

Before he could even speak, Xiao Yuan glared at him, then launched into a barrage of questions.

Even the most favored concubine is still just a concubine; she is not truly the mistress of the house unless she acts on behalf of the mistress.

No matter what, his wife was the eldest daughter of his first wife. Even if Liu was just a concubine, or even if she were a legitimate second wife, there was no reason for her to hit someone directly.

Especially since Miss Jiang has already married him and become the matriarch of the Xiao family, even if they are related by marriage, your Jiang family's concubine has no right to hit the matriarch of my governor's mansion.

I'm giving her a slap now out of respect for my father-in-law, as a small punishment to serve as a warning. I hope he will discipline her strictly, otherwise it won't be so easy next time.

Jiang Huai was furious looking at Liu Shi's swollen face, but Xiao Yuan's words were so reasonable that everyone around them nodded in agreement. He could only force a smile and apologize to Xiao Yuan.

Seeing that the time was right, Jiang Xinyu pretended to plead for her father and Liu Shi. Xiao Yuan followed Jiang Huai into the mansion, thus ending the farce.

Jiang Xinyu's voice was soft and people in the distance couldn't hear her, but they could roughly guess what she was saying from her expressions and movements.

Seeing that Chief Supervisor Xiao had stopped getting angry and followed Jiang Huai into the mansion, he couldn't help but feel more favorably disposed towards the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.

It seems that the previous rumors were not credible. Miss Jiang was not as unruly as she seemed, and the description of Liu as virtuous and kind was also largely exaggerated.
