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

When Xiao Yuan slammed his fist on the table, Qiu Er was already so frightened that he knelt down properly again, not daring to utter a sound, not knowing what kind of temper this master was about to unleash.

Especially when Xiao Yuan looked at him as if he wanted to devour him, the guy's smugness vanished instantly, and he was already mentally drafting his will.

Just when Qiu Er thought Xiao Yuan was about to strangle him, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Douzi reported that someone from the manor had come to see the Grand Eunuch, which finally brought Xiao Yuan back to his senses.

Looking at Qiu Er, who was sprawled on the ground like a lump of mud, Xiao Yuan snorted disdainfully.

"Throw this guy back into jail and let the people from the manor in."

Xiao Douzi agreed and quickly told the two men to take Qiu Er away. Before leaving, he whispered in Qiu Er's ear that he must not reveal a single word or else his tongue would be cut out.

Qiu Er was already feeling like he'd been granted a pardon for being taken away at this point; he was nodding so hard his eyes were blurry, and he was sure he wouldn't say a word if his father asked him.

Xiao Yuan frowned as he saw the person who had come to the mansion; it turned out to be Jiu Yue, who served Jiang Xinyu.

Needless to say, he was relaying a message for that woman.

Ah, like fishing, sometimes loose, sometimes loose.

I guess they felt they'd had enough time to leave me hanging and were ready to reel it in.

Seeing her master's somber expression, Jiu Yue felt a pang of anxiety. It seemed she had come at the wrong time; her master was currently in a bad mood.

Little Bean is really something; she knows the Supervisor is in a bad mood right now but doesn't even remind her.

But since she was already inside, there was no way to hide, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and bow.

"Greetings, Your Excellency. Your wife has sent me to inquire when you will be returning to the manor."

The lady said she misses you.

After saying this, September couldn't help but blush. In fact, the lady said a few more cheesy things, but she, a young woman, just couldn't bring herself to say them.

I thought that saying this would improve the mood of the Grand Eunuch, since everyone could see that he really liked his wife.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuan gave a cold laugh, "Isn't she always busy running around and having fun? It's really hard for her to remember this governor."

Say anything else you have to say.

September secretly groaned, wondering if someone had been gossiping about Madam to the Eunuch.

This sounds off.

The lady did indeed give some other instructions, but September felt that saying them now would only add fuel to the fire and anger the Grand Eunuch.

Seeing the maid hesitate and tap her finger lightly on the table a few times, Xiao Yuan asked, "Have you forgotten who your master is?"

Startled, Jiu Yue quickly continued to report, "Two days ago, a mute old woman was sent from Minister Jiang's residence. The accompanying steward said that she requested to see the Grand Eunuch, but the lady of the house rejected her request."

Today, Aunt Liu and the second young lady from the Jiang family came to visit. Madam sent me to inquire if it would be convenient for you to take their academic credentials back with you.

Xiao Yuan was so angry he laughed.

That's really realistic; if it weren't for this invitation card, I probably would have been left out in the cold for two days.

Xiao Yuan had prepared this thing when he returned from the Jiang family that day. He originally wanted to use it to amuse his wife, but now he was somewhat disinterested.

Xiao Yuan didn't waste any words. He casually took it out from the hidden compartment, tossed it to Jiu Yue, and waved to indicate that she could leave.

The score between him and Jiang Xinyu can be settled slowly, and as the dignified head of the Eastern Depot, he wouldn't go back on his word after already making a promise.

After bowing with his visiting card in September, he returned to the governor's mansion. On the way, he felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about it.

I should tell Madam later; she was too nervous and forgot to ask if the Grand Eunuch was definitely coming back.

It would be a good thing if the Grand Eunuch didn't come back today, given his current aura. He shouldn't argue with his wife again because he's in a bad mood.

The Governor's Office.

The Liu mother and daughter formed a stark contrast to Jiang Xinyu's side.

It was quite a coincidence that Madam Wang had already sent samples of mahjong and the rules of the game back to Jiangnan by fast horse.

His workshop in the capital had already started large-scale production, and with nothing else to do, he came to visit his niece again.

Jiang Xinyu didn't stand on ceremony with her aunt. Since she had recently become interested in making clothes, she pulled Madam Wang aside to work with the fabric and chat.

The mother and daughter were chatting happily when the gatekeeper announced that Liu Shi and Jiang Wanqiu had arrived. Jiang Xinyu, too lazy to pretend, simply had them brought over.

Her half-sister pretends to be aloof and gentle, but she is actually extremely jealous and can't stand seeing her have anything good.

The fabrics she's currently examining are all top-quality items from Xiao Yuan's warehouse, perfect for teasing her.

Xiao Yuan hadn't returned to the manor for the past few days, but he checked the news every day. He learned that Jiang Xinyu was learning to make sachets and thought they were for him. In a great mood, he sent a message to the steward.

It is said that the finest materials bestowed by the palace were sent to the lady for her use.

With the supervisor in charge, the steward naturally dared not neglect his duties. Therefore, the materials Jiang Xinyu was currently handling were all tribute items, something that a family of Jiang's caliber would never even see.

Even without these materials, the Liu mother and daughter were already consumed by jealousy.

Along the way, the mother and daughter felt envious of the houses with their small bridges, flowing water, carved beams, and painted rafters. The thought that such a large house only had two masters, Jiang Xinyu and Xiao Yuan, made them even more envious.

Jiang Wanqiu also felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

She was confident that her future husband would be better than an old eunuch, but she knew she would never have the leisurely life that Jiang Xinyu had.

Marrying into a wealthy family is not easy; one cannot afford to be complacent for even a moment in order to gain a foothold in such a prestigious household.

She used to be very proud of herself when she was charming and popular in the Ningguo Duke's mansion, thanks to Jiang Xinyu. But now she feels a deep sense of exhaustion.

She had to please everyone and cater to their preferences and topics. Everyone said they liked her, but no one could tell how tired she was.

At that time, she neither admired Jiang Xinyu nor couldn't help but envy her, envying her ability to freely and unrestrainedly express her true feelings.

Her mother kept telling her that someone like Jiang Xinyu wouldn't end up well, and she kept comforting herself with that thought.

But now?

She couldn't even imagine how comfortable Jiang Xinyu's life was now.

Jiang Wanqiu's frustration reached its peak the moment she entered Jiang Xinyu's courtyard. The colorful, sparkly fabric on a long table made her eyes hurt.

Jiang Xinyu seemed completely unconcerned about the expressions on Liu's and her daughter's faces. She casually greeted them and continued to look at the fabric with Madam Wang.

Liu was surprised that Madam Wang had not yet returned to Jiangnan. She awkwardly bowed and hesitated whether to explain her purpose.

But then she thought, she had already paid for it and Granny Yu had brought it over, so Jiang Xinyu had probably given her enough time to ignore her for a few days.

The master kept urging her, afraid that this little wretch would change her mind. Since she had come today, she had to bring back a definite message no matter what.

Madam Wang was unaware that Jiang Xinyu had secured a place at the Imperial Academy for Liu's youngest son, and her expression immediately soured upon hearing Liu's words.

How could Yu'er be so confused?

A place in the Imperial Academy was such a rare commodity.

Even if the Jiang family had treated her badly, she would have to take care of herself first before she could help her family.

She's only been married a few days and she's already making such an outrageous request to her husband. What will she do if she angers Chief Supervisor Xiao?

At this moment, Madam Wang was unaware that Jiang Xinyu had acted first and informed her later, nor did she know that the two had quarreled; otherwise, she would be crying and wailing right now.

In fact, Chief Supervisor Xiao's attempt to get his wife to show him concern and care was probably misguided. If he kept this aunt at home, she would complain every day.

It might have unexpected results.
