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

Chunxing's words startled Jiang Xinyu, and she almost choked on the pastry in her mouth.

No wonder this maid in the original story was able to live a good life even with a disastrous start; wasn't she a bit too perceptive?

However, you must not panic at this time. In ancient times, the act of possessing a corpse to return to life would be punishable by being burned at the stake. You must never admit to it, no matter what.

Jiang Xinyu took a sip of tea and a snack, then snorted coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about? If I'm not your young lady, am I your young master?"

You've always been the one serving me baths, so do you not know whether I brought it or not?

Alright, alright, I know what you mean. You're just wondering why I don't like Zhao Chengye, right?

Pshaw, you don't really think I'm stupid, do you?

The guy surnamed Zhao was practically drooling over Jiang Wanqiu. He was flirting with her right in front of me. I'm not blind, am I?

He really thinks he's some kind of hot commodity. His family is poor and he still wants to live off his wife. If no one were to stand up for me, I wouldn't have time to play along with his act.

Fortunately, I've finally made it through the tough times and no longer have to put up with that family's awfulness.

You don't need to say anything like "give me a way out." You've raised a cat or dog for over ten years and you've developed a bond with it. I don't intend to do anything to you.

Although I have a bad temper, I'm not that petty. Even I have to act to protect myself, let alone you guys.

Since Madam Liu is the head of the household and holds your indentures, it's understandable that you listen to her.

But disloyalty is disloyalty. Although your indenture is with me, your parents and relatives are still with the Jiang family. I dare not keep you by my side any longer.

"You should stay here and recover from your injuries. Go to the estate when you're feeling better."

Upon hearing this, Chunxing kowtowed several more times.

"Miss, please, please let me stay. I'll even be a lowly cleaning maid."

As you know, my family has never treated me like a human being. Back in that mansion, they only had eyes for Chunhong.

I never imagined that she would poison me, a woman I treated like a sister. I have no family left; from now on, my heart will only belong to you, my lady.

Chunxing also had a fierce streak; she cried and kowtowed at the same time, and blood started flowing from her head in no time.

Jiang Xinyu quickly stopped her, "Alright, alright, this isn't something I can decide alone. I'll ask the supervisor later if you can stay."

"You should go and recover from your injuries. The estate is still entirely populated by the Liu family; even if you want to leave, it won't be until next month."

When Chunxing saw that Jiang Xinyu had agreed, she was overjoyed and was about to kowtow again. Jiang Xinyu quickly had the maid take her away.

After everyone left, Jiang Xinyu called over Qiyue again and said, "Arrange for Chunxing to stay in Chunhong's room. Just tell her that it will be more convenient to have a doctor examine her injuries that way."

Also, find two clever young maids to keep an eye on what the two are saying.

In July, he agreed and quickly went to do it. Then, maids and servants came to clean the floor.

Jiang Xinyu smelled the faint scent of blood and ate another pastry, feeling a tightness in her chest.

She wondered if that jerk would come over for dinner tonight. If she told him to let Chunxing stay, he would probably mock her for being too soft-hearted.

Pshaw, what does an old-fashioned bumpkin know?

She had seen countless mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and severed limbs in the apocalypse, and the number of lives she had taken was probably no less than his.

She is not merciful; she simply respects life and dislikes committing unnecessary killings.

Damn it, how hard it is to guess what's on a eunuch's mind. What is he angry about?

Jiang Xinyu probably couldn't figure this out even if she racked her brains, because Xiao Yuan... wasn't angry at all.

Jiang Xinyu was absolutely right to call him a dog of a man; Supervisor Xiao's actions were indeed quite despicable.

He knew his wife meant well in advising him not to commit further killings, but he simply couldn't do it.

Moreover, he didn't want his wife to always think that she should be forgiving, as that was dangerous for her.

Having done so many dirty jobs for the emperor over the years, he has offended too many people. Only someone ruthless enough can secure his position.

Since Jiang Xinyu is now tied to him, she has to keep up with his pace, otherwise she will become his weakness sooner or later.

He really grew to like this young wife more and more, and his indulgence of her exceeded his own expectations.

This is not a good sign; he needs to exercise restraint.

Just like when he was a boy, he loved to eat water chestnut cake. His godfather told him not to be greedy, but he couldn't control himself and ended up almost vomiting bile.

Since then, he has been very careful to control his desires, and even for things he really likes, he will set a reasonable limit.

But his wife had clearly gone too far, and he found himself being unconsciously led astray by her.

Let's talk about the quota for the Imperial College.

He bet that no lady in the entire capital would dare to make such a promise without consulting her husband.

But his mistress did it anyway, and what's worse, he didn't even think to stop her at the time.

Later, when his wife went to the backyard and the front hall, leaving only him and Jiang Huai and his son, he finally had the leisure to review his actions that day, and the conclusion was... unbearable to look at.

Feeling guilty for misunderstanding someone in the morning, and knowing that Jiang Xinyu had no status in the Jiang family and wanting to support her, he unconsciously kept accommodating her.

His young wife is quite a character; she not only enjoys taking advantage of others' power but also knows how to push her luck. If he backs down even a little, she'll push him back even more, completely oblivious to the concept of politeness.

Originally, when Xiao Yuan was leaving the Jiang family in the carriage, he wanted to scare Jiang Xinyu a little so that she would have some respect for him. However, the little madam was too cute, and seeing her excited smiling face, Xiao Yuan couldn't bear to do it.

Even though he couldn't bear it, he had to do it; courage is something that is gradually cultivated.

If she promises a place at the Imperial Academy without consulting me today, what if she rashly agrees to it for someone else in the future?

Actually, Xiao Yuan could reason with Jiang Xinyu about this, telling her about her environment and potential dangers, and advising her to be cautious in her words and actions and not to act on her own.

But Xiao Yuan felt that Jiang Xinyu might not listen to him; she dared to act so recklessly because she was in love with him.

It's not like I haven't tried to reason with her, but she still manages to fool me with her sweet talk and silly antics.

Let's address the problem at its root and show her what it means to be a king or queen and who is the head of the household.

I think I heard it once before, that an adult said his concubine was becoming arrogant and ignoring him, and another adult's advice to him was... to leave her alone.

Being spoiled and arrogant means taking advantage of your affection to act recklessly. It's not helpful to say it too simply, because if you say it too deeply, you'll feel sorry for her and give in when she cries and makes a fuss. So just ignore her and don't see her anymore.

Women, when they sense a crisis, naturally become obedient.

Xiao Yuan subtly put himself into the situation, and it worked perfectly.

He spoils his wife too much. Since even his murderous aura couldn't scare her, he'll just leave her hanging.

Just then, the carriage entered the mansion. Jiang Xinyu's words of advice were not very pleasant, so Xiao Yuan simply took the opportunity to pretend to be angry and put on this show.

He's made up his mind this time.

I won't have dinner with her or see her tonight. I'll go to the Eastern Depot to work first thing tomorrow morning.

Because he had taken a few days off after his wedding and there was a lot of work to do there, he told himself to keep busy and not think about things at the manor for the time being, and to come back in three or four days.

Didn't you keep saying you liked me?

"Since I'm angry and ignoring you, you should at least come and coax me, right? If he's a little reserved and aloof then, I'm not afraid the young mistress won't back down."

This is actually a difficult matter to judge.

While flirting with his wife, Chief Supervisor Xiao quickly devised a plan and calculated the timing of his disembarkation and the loopholes in the other party's words, which can be described as quite clever.

His acting was also excellent; even Jiang Xinyu thought he was genuinely angry.

But if you call him smart, then this idea is absolutely awful.

He only knew how to blindly copy without considering that his wife was not the same kind of woman as other women.

Some people can be dried out, but others cannot.

An old bachelor who has never even touched a woman's hand wants to learn how to tame a wife; it would be a miracle if he succeeded.
