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

Madam Wang's words were indeed heartfelt and concerned for her niece, but Jiang Xinyu chuckled.

“Aunt, what does it have to do with Xiao Yuan that men are unreliable? He's not a man.”

Good heavens, upon hearing this, Madam Wang felt a wave of dizziness and, disregarding all politeness, quickly covered Jiang Xinyu's mouth.

"My son, you can't say things like that! You're going to scare your aunt to death!"

Jiang Xinyu took the opportunity to hug Madam Wang's waist and rub against her, blinking her big eyes to indicate that she wouldn't say anything more.

Madam Wang released her hand, tapped her forehead, and sighed heavily.

"Your personality is exactly like your mother's—full of clever ideas and daring."

Jiang Xinyu affectionately clung to Madam Wang's arm, acting coquettishly.

"Yu'er knows that your aunt loves me, so please don't worry, I'm doing fine."

Jiang Xinyu's playful attitude made Madam Wang more relaxed, and the estrangement she felt from not seeing her niece for so long faded considerably.

"Tell me what happened while no one's around."

Shouldn't you have married into the Ningguo Duke's family?

How did she end up marrying...Lord Xiao?

Jiang Xinyu didn't hide anything and told everyone about what she had overheard about Liu Shi and Jiang Huai's plans, as well as Zhao Chengye's affair with Jiang Wanqiu.

Then he sighed with a wronged expression.

"With wolves in front and tigers behind, Yu'er really had no other choice."

It is said that at home one obeys one's father, and after marriage one obeys one's husband.

But both my father and husband want me dead, so I have to find a way to survive.

It just so happens that my neighbor Li Mingyue has the same wedding date as me. Knowing that she doesn't want to marry a eunuch, I came up with the idea of ​​substituting one of my husband's wives for another.

At that time, I didn't know what kind of temper Xiao Yuan had, but between two evils, I chose the lesser.

Entering the Ningguo Duke's mansion would mean certain death for me; entering another family would offer a glimmer of hope.

Aunt, you have no idea how disgusting that family of the Duke of Ningguo is. From the Duchess down to Zhao Chengye's sister, not one of them is any good.

They looked down on my status but coveted my money, and they gave me a lot of trouble even before I stepped inside.

Yu'er had also gone all out and risked everything, so she conveyed her thoughts to Madam Li through Li Mingyue.

I had no one to use, but Mrs. Li did. After some planning and maneuvering, she actually managed to make it happen.

Xiao Yuan then formalized the matter with the Emperor, making the marriage exchange between the two families a done deal.

Hearing this, Madam Wang felt a pang of pain in her heart and burst into tears while embracing Jiang Xinyu.

In the past, all the information I gathered was that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was rich and arrogant, wearing gold and silver. I never expected that Yu'er was living such a precarious life.

How dare that beast Jiang Huai! He supports his whole family with his sister's dowry and still dares to treat her only daughter so cruelly. How can there be such a heartless person in the world?

Seeing that Madam Wang was heartbroken, Jiang Xinyu quickly helped wipe away her tears.

"Aunt, please don't cry. Yu'er is doing just fine, isn't she?"

Although Jiang Huai schemed against me, I had lived a decent life in the Jiang family before, and they didn't dare to be too harsh on me for the sake of their reputation and my mother's money.

Besides, I'm not someone to be trifled with. I even managed to squeeze 100,000 taels of silver out of Liu's family when I returned home for my wedding.

I reckon she doesn't have much left, and Jiang Wanqiu's dowry might not even be secured in the future.

Aunt, rest assured, I will avenge any wrongs and settle any scores. I will not let either the Jiang family or Zhao Chengye off the hook.

Here's a joke for you: To ensure that Li Mingyue could marry Zhao Chengye, Madam Li had Chunhong drug her.

That girl was ruthless; she put the whole packet of medicine in his throat and almost ruined Zhao Chengye.

The imperial physician said that he should rest for a year or two and not have sexual relations, otherwise it would not only hinder his offspring but also affect his lifespan.

When Xiao Yuan accompanied me to ask for the dowry, the family was in complete chaos. They were furious when they saw the boxes of dowry being carried out.

They've lost more than they gained this time, and it's uncertain whether Zhao Chengye and Jiang Wanqiu will ever get back together.

Unlike me, Li Mingyue doesn't have a family to support her.

They're causing quite a ruckus.

Madam Wang looked at her cunning and cheerful niece and smiled through her tears, but then frowned again when she thought that Chief Supervisor Xiao's fate was not good either.

"Although they got their revenge, your life has been ruined."

Tell your aunt the truth: how well does Chief Supervisor Xiao treat you?

Did he... did he...?"

After all, Madam Wang was not Jiang Xinyu's biological mother, and she hesitated for a long time before finally asking about that matter.

Jiang Xinyu seemed to have guessed what her aunt was going to say, and couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Xiao Yuan's expression.

"Don't worry, Aunt. That scoundrel may have a bad temper, but he's still pretty good to me."

When he gets angry, he only throws teacups and bangs on doors; he doesn't lay a hand on me.

She gets angry too easily. Yesterday, after returning from her homecoming, she suddenly went crazy and ran away.

I know what you want to ask. What's wrong with us having private conversations?

We haven't slept together, but I don't think he's like other eunuchs who enjoy torturing people in bed.

Despite his age, Xiao Yuan is quite innocent and blushes easily.

The moment I suggested he stay overnight, he ran faster than a rabbit.

Madam Wang clutched her chest, unable to recover for a long time. What kind of outrageous things was her niece saying? Where was the modesty of a young lady?

The Liu family of Jianghuai are such a wicked couple; they deliberately raised their niece to be like this.

Seeing Madam Wang's thunderstruck expression, Jiang Xinyu waved her hand.

Oh no, I got too carried away and forgot about the tolerance of people in ancient times. I hope my aunt won't be scared out of her wits.

Mrs. Wang was indeed somewhat frightened, but she wanted to use the limited time to correct her niece's values.

After trying to organize her thoughts for a while, she realized that she didn't seem to have much to say.

Yu'er is already married, so the most important thing to teach her now is how to gain a foothold in her husband's family.

But the current situation is:

Yu'er has no in-laws and needs to pay her respects morning and evening.

There is no infighting among sisters-in-law to compete for resources.

There are no younger sisters or brothers-in-law to cause trouble or make things difficult for them.

Her survival theories from the grand mansions seem... completely useless.

Thinking about it this way, Madam Wang suddenly felt a little envious.

Apart from the son-in-law being a bad match, Yu'er's marriage seems pretty good in every other way.

Just the fact that she doesn't have a difficult mother-in-law makes her superior to more than 80% of the daughters-in-law in Da Jin. In addition, the fact that she doesn't have troublesome sisters-in-law or sisters-in-law makes her even better.

As for how to get along with one's husband...

Madam Wang wanted to teach her, but Yu'er's husband was different from others.

The methods that women use to please their husbands are not necessarily effective with eunuchs.

How can you teach something she doesn't even know?

After pondering for a long time, Lady Wang felt utterly powerless.

Just live your life well. Maybe Chief Supervisor Xiao likes someone like Yu'er.

The scenery at the Eunuch's Mansion is quite nice. No matter how much people despise Xiao Yuan's identity, it's true that he has power and money.

Jiang Xinyu sat with Madam Wang in the house for a while, then took her for a stroll in the garden. She even had someone bring the newly made mahjong set to the pavilion, saying she wanted to play a few rounds with her aunt.

Jiang Xinyu wanted to reciprocate the favor, as her aunt had given her a lot of money for her marriage.

Mahjong is simple to learn and highly entertaining, so it's bound to become popular. If the Qian family's shop works overtime to produce it, they're sure to make a fortune.

As expected of the matriarch of the Qian family, Madam Wang immediately recognized the huge business opportunity upon seeing mahjong and learning the rules.

However, she refused to accept it for free. The mother and daughter bargained for a long time before Jiang Xinyu finally reluctantly accepted 30% of the profit.

Three sets of mahjong tiles were made today. Jiang Xinyu kept one set to play in the mansion, while the other two sets, along with the two craftsmen, were packed up and taken away by Madam Wang.

At that time, there was no intellectual property right, and mahjong was not technically difficult to imitate, so it was extremely easy.

The news must not be leaked until their own goods have captured most of the market.

We must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Jiang Xinyu didn't understand these things either, so she instructed the steward to take care of the craftsman's affairs.

Don't be frightened by the fact that these two old men are suddenly under house arrest.

Having acquired this money-making opportunity, Madam Wang no longer needed to linger. In any case, she wouldn't be returning to Jiangnan for the time being; she would visit her niece once the mahjong business was settled.

After Madam Wang left, Jiang Xinyu continued playing mahjong with Qiyue and the others. After that, she ate, washed up, and went to sleep. In her dream, she even won a big hand of mahjong.

By the time Supervisor Xiao returned from the Eastern Depot under a sky full of stars, the lights in Jiang Xinyu's courtyard had already been turned off.

After listening to the lady's activities all day, Supervisor Xiao was so angry that he smashed his teacup. "That heartless little brat is really heartless."

He's completely wasted his time!
