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

Chapter 53 The Jiang Family's Thoughts

Liu and Jiang Wanqiu had never been so humiliated. The whispers around them made them so ashamed that they wished they could disappear into the ground.

Only now did they truly realize that Jiang Xinyu was out of their control, as if the reckless girl they used to know had completely changed.

The servants of the Jiang family, seeing that their master dared not show his teeth in front of the new son-in-law, also acted like quails, only daring to help Liu Shi and the second daughter up after everyone in front had gone inside.

Jiang Wanqiu is now filled with deep regret. She regrets why she insisted on coming with her mother to pick up the person.

So she wanted to see Jiang Xinyu's miserable state as soon as possible, but now she's the one who's embarrassed.

She couldn't even imagine what the rumors would say about her and her daughter when they spread tomorrow.

No, you can't sit still.

She couldn't let her good reputation, built up over a decade through hard work and kindness, be ruined like this.

She can't count on Chengye anymore, and she won't get Jiang Xinyu's dowry either. The only thing she can offer now is her decent reputation.

If she ruins her good reputation, how will she be able to marry into a good family?

Poetry, songs, calligraphy, painting, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting are all embellishments that add to the beauty of a young lady's life. Young men and women care about these things, but the ladies of wealthy families don't take them seriously when choosing a daughter-in-law.

Jiang Wanqiu became increasingly distressed as she thought about it, and she couldn't help but sob as soon as she entered Liu's room.

With tears welling in her eyes, Liu embraced her daughter and sobbed softly, lamenting the injustice of fate while gritting her teeth and saying...

"It's all my fault for being too soft-hearted. If I had known that this little slut had such seductive tricks, I should have killed her sooner."

That's really shameless.

She used to act like she wouldn't marry anyone but Prince Zhao, which made me think she was so devoted. But she's just a shameless slut who sleeps with anyone.

She's even willing to sleep on a eunuch's bed; I'd like to see how long she can be so smug.

Jiang Wanqiu knew her mother was just saying things in anger, so she could only gently comfort her.

It wasn't that her mother was kind-hearted; she had known this ever since she learned how to manage accounts from her mother. The entire Jiang family was supported by Jiang Xinyu's mother's dowry.

If her mother were to kill Jiang Xinyu, the Qian family would take over those farms and shops, and her father would never agree to that.

Not only should Jiang Xinyu not be killed, but the world should also know that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family enjoys a life of luxury and privilege within the family.

Otherwise, their parents' reputations would be ruined, and their siblings would be gossiped about behind their backs.

It was no secret that Jiang Xinyu's father came from a poor family and was not wealthy, and it was common knowledge that her mother came from a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan.

People in high society care a lot about their image; no matter how filthy or despicable they are behind the scenes, they still have to maintain a respectable facade.

Once their reputation is ruined, they'll be treated like rats in the street, ignored by everyone. Not only will their father's promotion be hopeless, but they and their siblings will also be ostracized from the circle of the powerful and wealthy.

Everything was going smoothly until Jiang Xinyu's reputation was ruined, and her brother Chengye and the Duchess of the State made her a promise.

But why did everything change overnight? Could it be that Jiang Xinyu was not destined to die?

A deep sense of resentment flashed in Jiang Wanqiu's eyes.

Why does that idiot get to be so lucky?

Such a lazy, unambitious good-for-nothing should rot in the mud and be despised by everyone.

Why should she be allowed to act like a tyrant in the mansion, eating and using the best things?

Why should she get a good marriage without doing anything?

Why is it that even though she married a eunuch, she can still be protected and bullied?

Why!

Why!

Why!

Jiang Wanqiu originally wanted to comfort her mother, but as she spoke, she started crying again.

She is unwilling to do so.

She was clearly more likable and better than Jiang Xinyu in every way, so why was her life so unfortunate?

Liu stroked Jiang Wanqiu's head tenderly and said indignantly,

"Don't worry, Qiu'er, Mother won't let this go."

A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years. Since that person surnamed Xiao is currently favoring her, we'll keep our distance for now and settle scores slowly when she falls out of favor.

Just as no person is perfect forever and no flower blooms forever, a couple's love won't last long without children together.

She's just using her seductive face to coax that old eunuch into standing up for her; once the novelty wears off, she'll suffer the consequences.

Whether Liu was speaking to her daughter or herself, both mother and daughter felt much better after she finished speaking, as if they could already see Jiang Xinyu fading in beauty and being abandoned by Xiao Yuan.

Just then, an old woman came to report that the family banquet was ready and that the master had invited his wife, second daughter, and young master to take their seats.

Jiang Huai now has two sons and two daughters.

The eldest son, Jiang Song, was studying at an academy in another city and did not live in the mansion. There was also an 8-year-old younger son, Jiang Quan.

Apart from Jiang Xinyu, who was born to Madam Qian, the other one daughter and two sons were born to Madam Liu.

Whether Jiang Huai was keeping his promise or truly loved Liu to the bone, he never took a concubine or a maidservant, which earned Liu a lot of face.

In the past, Jiang Xinyu would eat in her own courtyard when she was in the mansion. The family members were so affectionate and close-knit that it felt like a real family.

In particular, Jiang Huai's youngest son, Jiang Quan, was the most favored by Jiang Huai, and Liu Shi also regarded this youngest son as the apple of her eye.

Upon hearing that the master wanted Quan'er to have dinner with Jiang Xinyu and her husband, Liu panicked. She led Jiang Wanqiu to the front hall while sending a servant to keep an eye on the young master and prevent him from leaving the courtyard.

Through this slap, Liu Shi understood that the old eunuch Jiang Xinyu had married was ruthless and capricious, and had already been won over by that little slut.

Unfortunately, her master is useless, and if Quan'er comes and gets hurt, she will have nowhere to cry.

Unfortunately, Liu rushed too late; Jiang Quan was already there when she stepped into the front hall.

Liu hurriedly pulled her son behind her and looked at Jiang Xinyu with a wary expression, her fear and resentment impossible to hide.

Jiang Xinyu, however, still smiled and invited Liu Shi and Jiang Wanqiu to sit down, as if the unpleasantness just now was just an illusion.

Jiang Wanqiu unconsciously clenched her fist.

She understands Jiang Xinyu less and less now; this side of Jiang Xinyu makes her uneasy.

Jiang Huai didn't notice anything amiss, after all, he wasn't familiar with this daughter, and he had seen her less often than he had seen Xiao Yuan during the morning court session.

He only remembered that this girl was troublesome, had a bad temper, and liked to make trouble. She had never been close to him since childhood, so after Qian died, he simply chose to ignore her.

But things are different now. Chief Supervisor Xiao clearly dotes on Yu Yatou, so it's time to repair their father-daughter relationship.

Seeing the wary expressions on Liu's face and the lack of any smile, Jiang Huai lightly scolded her for her lack of manners, then smiled ingratiatingly at Xiao Yuan.

"Women are not respectable, but I have watched Yu'er grow up. Please forgive me, Chief Supervisor."

Xiao Yuan ignored Jiang Huai but looked at Jiang Xinyu. When his wife nodded, he hummed in agreement, indicating that it was alright.

Jiang Huai felt his worldview was being shattered by this bizarre scene.

Of course, most people simply couldn't believe it.

I've come in several times already, and it seems like this Supervisor Xiao always considers Yu Ya's opinion.

One sentence and you can tell the expression off your face. You, the dignified supervisor of the Eastern Depot, have to be so henpecked?

If it weren't for Xiao Yuan's distinctive snake-like eyes, Jiang Huai would have thought he was an imposter.

Did his daughter learn animal taming? She tamed this ferocious beast just a few days after marrying into the family.

Goodness, if I had known you had this ability, I would have sent you to the palace!

The emperor's six sons are all more ruthless than the last; it would be better to tame any of them than to tame a eunuch.
