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

The Jianghuai region embodies the typical feudal patriarchal mindset, where the prevailing belief is that while one may not be kind, one cannot be unfilial.

The ruler is the guide for his subjects.

The husband is the head of the household,

The father is the head of the family.

Even if they themselves weren't particularly loyal to the emperor or patriotic, they would secretly curse others for abusing their power, but they would still thoroughly implement the terms that were in their own favor.

It has a strong sense of equality among all beings above oneself, and a clear class distinction below oneself.

Jiang Huai knew he didn't treat his daughter well and had no feelings for her, but he inexplicably had a kind of confidence as a father.

It's possible that Jiang Xinyu's past behavior of repeatedly being punished and then sending him birthday gifts every year gave him this misconception.

Lord Jiang believed that no matter how wrong he was, he was still his father, and there are no parents who are always wrong.

Now that his daughter has become successful, he should do everything in his power to coax his son-in-law into giving him official titles and making him rich and powerful. Only in this way can he gain his father's approval and praise.

If Jiang Xinyu were still that little girl yearning for her father's approval, he might not have succeeded.

Unfortunately, Miss Jiang has changed her mind now. She believes in the principle of reaping what you sow, and that you will be treated with the same respect you would receive.

She shouldn't even think about repaying evil with kindness; if she had even a shred of pity for Jiang Huai, she would be letting down the original owner of this body and her mother who was murdered.

Since being reborn into this body, Jiang Xinyu has gradually recalled her original past. She could even recall the time when an old woman disrespected her, but she couldn't recall any tenderness her biological father had ever shown her.

By taking over someone else's body, you become entangled in their karma.

Aside from wanting to live a good life, Jiang Xinyu's only concern was to avenge wrongs and restore justice to the wronged party.

Unfortunately, Jiang Huai's perception prevented him from seeing that his eldest daughter's smile didn't reach her eyes, and that she was still smug about being able to climb up to the position of the head of the Eastern Depot.

As for Liu being beaten and Xiao Yuan's cold attitude towards him, he didn't care at all.

His indifference to matters in the backyard doesn't mean he knows nothing. He is well aware of the sordid affairs between Jiang Xinyu and the Liu mother and daughter, but since it doesn't concern him, he's too lazy to get involved.

Whether it's the women in the backyard fighting over him or the children causing trouble and competing with each other, it's all for the sake of gaining his attention and favor.

He only needs to balance the relationship and maintain a superficial peace when things get too out of hand, since he's the one who ultimately benefits.

Xiao Yuan's attitude is no longer a problem.

This Grand Eunuch has been serving the Eastern Depot since he was 15 years old, for more than ten years now, and has always followed the path of a ruthless and loyal minister.

Not to mention ordinary officials, even the princes, he was cold and indifferent to everyone, clearly it was his nature.

Although Jiang Huai had never had any serious dealings with Xiao Yuan, he had seen him quite a few times, and the other party had always been the same deadbeat.

A person's style of doing things is generally hard to change, and Jiang Huai didn't think that Xiao Yuan would greet his father-in-law with a smile like other sons-in-law just because he liked his daughter.

It's fine as it is now. As long as it brings him benefits, his attitude doesn't matter at all.

Jiang Huai was blindly confident that his daughter's marriage to Xiao Yuan would elevate the entire Jiang family to a high level, but Liu Shi and Jiang Wanqiu saw things much more clearly than he did.

The more amiable Jiang Xinyu's smile was, the more uneasy the two of them felt, as if the other was brewing some kind of big move.

Jiang Huai just couldn't understand his beloved concubine and daughter, and kept nagging them and urging them to sit down.

Despite her resentment, Liu was helpless and could only think of dealing with Jiang Xinyu and the others first, and then explaining the situation to the master later.

It would be best to finalize Wanqiu's marriage as soon as possible before sending Quan'er to his uncle's house. She always felt that Jiang Xinyu was up to no good.

The food was already on the table. Jiang Huai let Xiao Yuan sit in the main seat while he accompanied him. Xiao Yuan sat next to Jiang Xinyu on the other side.

Liu naturally wanted to sit next to Jiang Huai, but fearing that Jiang Xinyu might harm her youngest son, she pulled her son close and let Jiang Wanqiu sit down next to her.

As soon as he sat down, Xiao Yuan suddenly snorted coldly, "Father-in-law's family rules are truly eye-opening. Since when have concubines been served at family banquets?"

"For a Vice Minister of Rites to be so ignorant of even the basic distinctions between嫡庶 (legitimate and illegitimate children) and 尊庶 (respect for elders and illegitimate children) is unacceptable. If word gets out, people will likely accuse Lord Jiang of being unworthy of his position."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huai was immediately startled and sternly rebuked Liu for her insolence, telling her to get up and serve the dishes immediately.

Liu stood up with a livid face, cursing Xiao Yuan and Jiang Xinyu in her heart, and also feeling deep resentment towards her beloved Jiang Lang.

She's been married to him for so many years, bearing children and managing the household. Even if she hasn't done anything particularly meritorious, she's certainly put in a lot of hard work. Can't he at least stand up for himself a little?

Liu gritted her teeth secretly, a sinister glint flashing in her eyes.

Jiang Xinyu, that little bitch, is truly a motherless bastard who can't stand up to scrutiny. She's only just gained power and she's already so impatient to show off.

What's there to be so proud of? Be careful, or your joy might turn to sorrow.

Jiang Wanqiu's face was also pale at this moment; she had never imagined that she would be in such an embarrassing situation.

Jiang Huai, with a fawning expression, apologized to Xiao Yuan: "Lord Supervisor, please calm down. It is my fault for failing to discipline you properly, and I apologize for making you laugh."

Xiao Yuan just looked coldly at the family, feeling a pang of heartache as he thought about the past of the women he had investigated.

A hypocritical father, a mother who died young, a cruel concubine, and a helpless woman.

It's truly remarkable that his little glutton has managed to develop such a cheerful personality in such an environment.

Jiang Xinyu smiled slightly, secretly pleased, and gently nudged Xiao Yuan, signaling him to give her a way out.

What's the point of killing someone with a single blow? It's the dull knife that hurts the most.

The original owner's reputation and life were worn down by repeated hopes and disappointments. This is nothing compared to what she wants to do. She wants to use this family to earn back the original owner's reputation.

Liu's forbearance was truly remarkable. Even after being so humiliated, she did not leave the table in anger. Instead, she stood up with her chopsticks and waited to serve the whole family.

Seeing his wife's gesture, Xiao Yuan raised his wine glass and gestured towards Jiang Huai, finally easing the tension at the banquet.

Jiang Huai also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Yu'er still cared about this family and her father.

As for Liu, let's just put up with it for now, since she offended Yu'er before.

Even if it's just for Song'er and Quan'er's future, it's only right for her, as their mother, to suffer some grievances.

The Jiang family spared no expense for this homecoming banquet, with a considerable amount of delicacies on the table, far exceeding their usual economic level.

However, apart from Jiang Xinyu, none of the people at the table were focused on eating.

Jiang Xinyu didn't eat as much as she did at the Governor's Mansion. She only ate the most expensive things and was about 80% full before starting to cause trouble.

Strike the snake at its seven-inch mark.

She specifically mentioned wanting to see her younger brother Jiang Quan today, intending to have him called over to poke Liu's lungs, but unexpectedly, this brat has become well-behaved today.

How can it work?

This little thing is young but has a lot of tricks up its sleeve. If Jiang Wanqiu is a hypocrite with a sweet face but a ruthless heart, then this little thing is a truly vicious and cunning villain.

Never underestimate the wickedness of a child; it is precisely because of their ignorance that they are fearless.

Jiang Xinyu wouldn't bother arguing with a naughty child if it were just a brat, but she couldn't forgive Jiang Quan's wickedness.
