A lazy bum transmigrates and marries a eunuch – it's awesome!
Chapter 6 Madam Li's Operation
Upon hearing her mother's agreement, Li Mingyue immediately clung to her mother's arm and acted coquettishly.
In this family, only her mother is truly sincere towards her.
If she can marry Chengye this time, she will be the heir apparent of the Duke's mansion. Let's see if those lowly women in the backyard dare to look down on her and her daughter.
Jiang Xinyu was taking a stroll in the backyard when she heard that Madam Li had come to apologize on behalf of Li Mingyue, and she immediately smiled.
She really is a loving mother; her efficiency is simply amazing.
She had thought the results would be available by tomorrow, but Madam Li couldn't even wait one night.
There was a set procedure for visiting officials' families. Madam Li first went to deliver a visiting card to Aunt Liu.
She said that her daughter Mingyue had a small argument with Miss Jiang that morning, and the child, not knowing the consequences, accepted such expensive jewelry. As her mother, she naturally had to return the favor.
Jiang Wanqiu had already told her about this at lunch, so Liu didn't find it strange.
Madam Li was skilled in managing her household and was very courteous, so this was not a big deal. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she was led to Jiang Xinyu's courtyard.
Madam Li put on a convincing act, apologizing repeatedly upon seeing Jiang Xinyu and then presenting her with valuable gifts.
After the maid served tea, Madam Li gave a wink, and the Li family maid immediately understood, using the excuse of looking at the flower patterns to coax Chunxing and the others to leave.
Once Jiang Xinyu was the only one left in the room, Madam Li explained her purpose.
Looking at the delicate and beautiful Jiang family's eldest daughter with her large, watery eyes, Madam Li couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Although eunuchs are considered to have no roots, their perspective on women is probably not much different from that of ordinary men.
Although her own silly girl was good, she was far less beautiful than the Jiang family's girl.
If Jiang Xinyu were to marry into that family, I imagine that Supervisor Xiao wouldn't be dissatisfied.
As long as the King of Hell is satisfied and takes this girl in, she doesn't believe the Duke of Ningguo's mansion would dare to send her Mingyue back.
Actually, if time allowed, she could take her time to choose, as Madam Li didn't think much of the Ningguo Duke's Mansion.
Nowadays, everyone in the capital knows that the mansion only has a good reputation; due to the successive prodigal sons, it has long been unable to make ends meet and has become a mere facade.
Even if things weren't good in that mansion, Zhao Chengye was still quite good.
Whether to marry him or a eunuch, anyone who isn't a fool knows which to choose.
Seeing that Madam Li was being frank, Jiang Xinyu didn't beat around the bush either, and said with excited anticipation,
"Madam, you've come about my affair with Sister Mingyue, but have you already made a plan?"
As you know, my mother passed away early, and there's no one to make decisions for me.
"Madam, please speak frankly. If you feel that my actions are absurd and have corrupted Mingyue, you may reprimand me."
Madam Li quickly helped Jiang Xinyu, who was about to bow, to her feet.
"Good child, what are you saying? Mingyue is always so loud and boisterous. I thought she was just joking. I never expected you to actually have this idea."
How do I use this?
I used to hold you often when your mother was still alive, but we moved further away from your family after Liu took over the household.
I love my daughter dearly, but I can't let you fall into that fire pit.
It's best not to bring this up again now.
Jiang Xinyu outwardly kept it hidden, but inwardly she was rolling her eyes to the heavens.
As expected of a matriarch who has been immersed in the inner quarters of the household for many years, look how eloquently she speaks. If this were really a young girl, she would have been completely fooled by her.
But that's fine too. It's not the god-like opponents you should fear, it's the pig-like teammates.
She would be worried if Madam Li were truly stupid.
In an effort to gain people's trust, Jiang Xinyu resorted to her usual rhetoric.
Then, hesitantly, he added, "I know this is a bit absurd."
But I don't want to be unable to have children in the future and be pointed at by the world, nor can I bear the disappointed look in my brother Chengye's eyes.
Just thinking about that scene breaks my heart.
With my physique, marrying Chief Supervisor Xiao wouldn't be so bad.
He married a wife just to have her as a decoration. My dowry was generous, and I was good-looking. My father's official position was not a disgrace to him.
I suppose... he wouldn't care too much.
Furthermore, it is said that eunuchs are the most greedy.
"At worst, I'll give him more money as part of my dowry; I promise he won't cause trouble for either of our families."
After hearing this, Li looked at Jiang Xinyu with pity.
No wonder the eldest daughter of a widow is listed among the five types of women who should not be married; a girl without a mother's guidance is indeed undesirable.
Just by looking at her like that, you can tell she must read a lot of romance novels.
Little did they know, those were all harmful poisons; no matter how intelligent a girl is, she becomes confused once she gets involved in love.
She actually went to such lengths for a man; this silly girl is going to suffer later.
Being a eunuch's wife is not as simple as being a decoration; those castrated men, because of their incompetence, are good at tormenting people.
Not to mention that daughters of officials couldn't stand it, even prostitutes in brothels were unwilling to serve eunuchs.
However, this is not something a young girl could understand, and this confusion has now come in handy for her.
Knowing that Jiang Xinyu genuinely wanted to exchange wives, Madam Li finally felt relieved.
Now that the matter was settled, Madam Li took her leave immediately.
She said she would arrange everything afterward, and Jiang Xinyu just needed to wait patiently; she would definitely make sure Jiang Xinyu got what she wanted.
Jiang Xinyu saw Madam Li off with a face full of gratitude, and then, in a good mood, instructed Hongxing to go to the kitchen and bring over a few plates of pastries.
Since delicious food can help her restore her bodily functions, she should eat as much as possible.
Eggs cannot be put in one basket.
If the arranged marriage fails and she still marries into the Ningguo Duke's mansion, she must have the ability to escape before the other party kills her.
It's a pity that restoring strength through eating is too slow. If only I could eat spinach like Popeye.
So she stole the silver notes, packed a bundle of steamed buns, and set off to wander the world.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Could it be that regular meals aren't nutritious enough?
Well...should we take some supplements?
This was ancient times, and medicinal herbs were all wild, far superior to those grown with chemical fertilizers in modern times.
Previously, one of the members of the superpower team had practiced martial arts since childhood. It was said that long-term martial arts training inevitably required meat and tonics.
High-intensity training depletes the body's functions. Without replenishment, it would ruin a person. That's why there's a saying: "The poor study literature, the rich study martial arts."
However, no one in the Jiang family practices martial arts, so they can forget about the secret recipe for herbal medicine. At most, they can just take a ginseng root to replenish their qi and blood.
Jiang Xinyu, adhering to the principle of "why not take it if it's free", immediately sent Chunhong to ask Liu for a century-old ginseng.
She said she was nervous and upset before the wedding, and felt short of breath and had difficulty breathing. She said that if she didn't have a kind of old body to help her with her makeup tomorrow, she might faint.
Chunhong wanted to persuade her again, but seeing the girl's sharp eyes, she didn't dare to say a word. She agreed and went to Liu's courtyard.
This was clearly a tough job, but ever since the young lady woke up this morning, she had been unusually stubborn and wouldn't listen to any advice. As a maid, she naturally didn't dare to say anything.
As expected, Liu was so angry when she heard that it required a century-old ginseng that she clutched her chest.
This little bastard with no mother really thinks she's someone important. Does she even deserve to eat a century-old ginseng?
Jiang Wanqiu felt strange while helping her mother to catch her breath.
I wonder what that idiot is up to now. Does she think she's going to marry into the Ningguo Duke's mansion and become the heir's wife, so she's starting to put on airs?
But her threat couldn't be ignored. What if she pretended to faint when all her relatives and friends came tomorrow? Her mother's carefully cultivated image as a loving mother would crumble.
Fine, give it to her if you want.
As long as Chengye has her in his heart, sooner or later Jiang Xinyu's things will fall into her hands.
