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

Whether something is good or bad depends on whose perspective you take it from. Both Jiang Huai and Liu Shi hoped for their son's well-being, but at the same time, they each had their own ulterior motives.

For Liu, Jiang Song was not only her beloved son, but also her reliance on to escape the status of a concubine.

Even though registering it under the Qian family name would be more beneficial to Jiang Song, she was still extremely unwilling.

But for Jianghuai, this is highly feasible.

Firstly, it could give her son a better future, and secondly, it would also be a way to please her daughter and son-in-law.

Doesn't Jiang Huai know that his eldest daughter isn't close to him?

Of course he knew.

Even though he tried to convince himself that blood is thicker than water and that fathers are the pillars of their children, he wasn't entirely without reason. So he tried his best to make up for his relationship with Jiang Xinyu.

Now that Jiang Xinyu has taken the initiative to register Jiang Song under her mother's name as her biological younger brother Jiang Huai, she must be tempted.

Because if that's the case, even if the daughter has some complaints about her father and doesn't let her son-in-law help him get promoted, she will still do her best to help her own brother.

His son, Song'er, has always been filial. As long as Song'er becomes successful in the future, why should he, as her father, not benefit from it?

When Liu saw that Jiang Huai was about to agree, she immediately panicked and, disregarding her fear, cried out to Xiao Yuan,

“I know that Master loves Song’er, but he should also think about the other two children.”

Only if Song'er passes the imperial examination can I be promoted to the rank of official concubine. What if Song'er is registered under the late madam's name? What about Qiu'er and Quan'er?

I am already content to be by your side, sir. I don't care whether you become my official wife or not.

Qiu'er is sensible and Quan'er is well-behaved. Does the master intend for the two children to bear the identity of being born out of wedlock for the rest of their lives?

Jiang Xinyu looked at Liu Shi, who was crying on the ground, and secretly gave her a thumbs up.

This old green tea bitch is quite shrewd; knowing she wasn't enough, she pulled in her children to add weight.

Her scumbag father always had high hopes for Jiang Wanqiu, believing that she was intelligent and sensible and would definitely be able to help her family at a high price in the future. He also doted on his youngest son, Jiang Quan.

By not speaking about herself but only about the future of her two children, Liu's move of feigning retreat and then advancing clearly demonstrated her control over Jianghuai.

Jiang Wanqiu was also clever. Seeing her mother kneel down, she quickly pulled her younger brother down to kneel down as well, saying nothing but silently shedding tears.

Being born of the legitimate wife is extremely important.

Even if her younger brother couldn't pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi before she got married, so that her mother could officially become her wife, as long as there was this hope, that would be enough.

Life is not easy for girls in this world; it's not that everything will be fine for them just because they can marry into a wealthy family.

A man's feelings and promises are too vague and ethereal. They mean what he does when he likes you, but they mean nothing when he gets tired of you.

Jiang Wanqiu has always been a very clear-headed person.

She understood perfectly well that winning over a man could only get her into a high-class family; to maintain her position and live comfortably, she needed to be cunning and resourceful, and have a supportive family.

She has never lacked cunning and scheming; all she lacks is a good family background.

For Jiang Wanqiu, Jiang Song was not only her younger brother but also her only hope for improving her status. Now that Jiang Xinyu was planning to cut off her hopes, she naturally panicked.

Seeing his beloved concubine, daughter, and youngest son kneeling together, Jiang Huai's heart immediately swayed again.

Song'er is truly talented; even if she lacks the status of being born of the principal wife, it will only make things a little more difficult in the early stages.

As long as he passes the imperial examination and is promoted by the Liu family, he will still be considered a legitimate son and will have no problem entering officialdom.

But if Song'er is registered under the Qian family's name, then he will have one son and one daughter left...

Jiang Huai turned his questioning gaze to Jiang Xinyu.

"Yu'er, look at this..."

Jiang Xinyu exclaimed urgently, "What are you saying? Why did Aunt kneel down?"

I meant well by asking Songdi to be registered under my mother's name, but your kneeling makes it seem like I forced you.

Oh well, I was originally thinking of giving half of my dowry to my younger brother.

It seems I'm not fortunate enough to have that.

Jiang Huai's heart stirred when he heard about half of the dowry. He had been struggling to make ends meet these days and was already dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to make any plans because Jiang Xinyu was marrying Xiao Yuan.

If he could get half of Qian's dowry by being recognized as a legitimate son, he would naturally be willing.

If Song'er doesn't work out, there's always Quan'er.

Since Qian is already dead, it's impossible for her to take Quan'er as her own. However, the son will still be Liu's in name only.

In Jiang Huai's view, the Liu family shouldn't have any complaints.

To be honest, he was afraid Jiang Xinyu wouldn't be happy, since Jiang Quan used to be mischievous and the two siblings didn't get along very well.

Thinking of this, Jiang Huai tentatively asked, "Yu'er, your father also thinks that we should have an heir for your mother. Since Song'er is not suitable, how about Quan'er?"

Liu cried out in surprise, "Master!"

Jiang Huai snapped impatiently, "What do you know, you woman?"

"You're so petty and narrow-minded. What's wrong with giving Quan'er a little more status?"

After Jiang Huai finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Xinyu in a flattering manner.

"Quan'er was a bit mischievous when he was younger. We're all family, so you, as his older sister, shouldn't hold a grudge against him."

Your mother always regretted not being able to give you a younger brother. If Quan'er had been born, your mother would have been happy even in the afterlife.

Seeing her scumbag father's shamelessness, Jiang Xinyu's fake smile was almost impossible to maintain.

If my mother could know this in the afterlife, and if there truly is a netherworld, she would surely be in the King of Hell's palace right now, accusing you of your evil deeds.

They're happy? Who would be happy to have a pile of rotten shit stuffed into their name?

Don't you have any idea what kind of person your own son is?

Although she was inwardly complaining about Jiang Xinyu, she didn't show it on her face. This was all part of her plan, so she naturally had to keep up the act.

Seeing his daughter hesitate, Jiang Huai said many nice things about Jiang Quan, and even pulled the little brat over and pushed him next to Jiang Xinyu, saying that he should apologize to his sister for his past mischief.

Jiang Quan was so frightened that he behaved himself very well. He whispered an apology and hid behind Jiang Huai, acting like a quail.

Liu and Jiang Wanqiu, standing to the side, were both wringing their handkerchiefs, watching to see how Jiang Xinyu would answer, both afraid that she would agree and afraid that she would not.

After being scolded by Jiang Huai, they understood. Apart from the fact that Jiang Quan was nominally Qian's son, which was a bit unsettling, there were actually many benefits.

When Jiang Song was eight years old, he had already mastered the Three Hundred and the Thousand Character Classic, showing his talent for reading. In contrast, Jiang Quan had absolutely no literary talent.

Liu knew that her youngest son probably didn't have much talent in studying, but if she could squeeze tens of thousands of taels of silver out of Jiang Xinyu, she wouldn't have to worry about money in the future.

Jiang Xinyu waved her hand magnanimously when Jiang Quan apologized.

"It's just family, siblings, talking about this is too formal. Would your sister really be angry with you?"

Jiang Huai's eyes lit up immediately, "I knew Yu'er was broad-minded, so about registering Quan'er under your mother's name..."

Jiang Xinyu sighed, feigning difficulty.

“It’s not that my daughter is unwilling, it’s just that this is not how things are done.”

The order of seniority is important, and being recorded as the legitimate son is a good thing for any illegitimate son. Why would anyone leave the eldest son unused and give the opportunity to the younger son?

"It's not good to talk about this, and my daughter is worried that Songdi will have a problem with it."
