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

When July returned to Jiang Xinyu's courtyard, Jiang Xinyu had already finished eating and was now playing with a bunch of silk threads with September, learning how to make knots.

Ancient people were far superior to modern people in these crafts; she had never seen any of the designs that September brought.

She used to only know how to weave Chinese knots, which were nothing compared to the intricate designs of plum blossoms and five bats celebrating longevity in front of her.

Seeing July enter, Jiang Xinyu didn't stop what she was doing, but casually asked a question.

"Have you found out what's wrong with your master this time?"

July's smile froze for a moment, and she obediently knelt on the ground with her head down.

Since the lady has already guessed that arguing is useless, she might as well try to get a good attitude.

Jiang Xinyu waved her hand dismissively as Qi Yue knelt down.

"Get up, get up. I didn't say I was going to punish you."

You are originally from the Governor's Office, so isn't it only natural that you eat whose food and serve whose orders you are?

You don't really think I don't know that my information is being presented to Xiao Yuan every day, do you?

"Stop kidding, little sister, I'm not stupid."

September, being a woman of few words, couldn't keep anything to herself. Seeing the lady smiling and chatting, she mustered her courage and asked a question.

"Then, Madam, aren't you angry with us?"

You treat us servants so well, yet we still betray you. If this happened in another household…

Jiang Xinyu chuckled. "It's not really betraying my own people."

Your indentures are in Xiao Yuan's hands, and your food and drink are all provided by the Supervisor's Mansion. I am the "outsider".

As for being angry, that's even more absurd.

People get angry when they put in effort and have expectations, but the reward doesn't meet their expectations.

I knew your stance from the beginning, so what do I have to be angry about?

July felt her face burning and murmured softly.

"But the lady is very kind to us servants."

Jiang Xinyu shook her head helplessly, "It's alright, you guys are quite attentive to me, aren't you?"

Actually, you two don't need to worry about this. When Xiao Yuan and I are on the same page, it doesn't matter who you listen to. But when our positions are different, you will definitely choose your own master.

If I can't even let go of this, I'm just asking for trouble.

Let’s get down to business.

You went out for half a day to look for Xiao Douzi, who is by Xiao Yuan's side, right? Did you find out what's wrong with your supervisor this time?

If it's inconvenient for you to say, then that's fine. But if it's convenient for you to say, then I'll listen.

Although I'm going to spend my whole life with him, we haven't known each other for very long, so I should probably ask you older folks for some inside information.

Seeing his wife's playful expression, Qi Yue seemed genuinely unperturbed and breathed a sigh of relief. He moved to the table to help her straighten the thread, carefully choosing his words before speaking.

"We found out some things. The Grand Eunuch is in a bad mood. After leaving our courtyard, he locked himself in his room and hasn't lit a lamp since."

July paused here, patting September, who was eagerly listening to gossip.

"I'll be sleeping in the outer room tonight on night duty. You go back to your room and get some sleep."

September pouted, clearly unwilling, and turned to Jiang Xinyu expectantly.

"Madam~"

Jiang Xinyu chuckled, "Calling you 'Madam' won't help. If you don't leave, your Sister Qiyue might not say anything at all."

"My dear, it's better to sacrifice a friend than myself. I'd like to hear more, madam."

A smile appeared on July's lips. "If it's something I can let you hear, would I hide it from you?"

If I'm not going to let you hear it, then it's not suitable for you to know.

"Don't be so curious about matters concerning the Grand Supervisor. Are you itching for a beating again?"

September quickly shook her head, "I don't want to hear it, I'm not surprised at all."

As she spoke, the little girl curtsied and ran off in a flash, afraid of accidentally overhearing something and getting a beating.

July glanced around to make sure no one was outside, then closed the door before cautiously speaking.

"Madam, please don't blame the Eunuch. We servants have served the Eunuch for so many years and have never seen him be so tolerant of anyone."

Jiang Xinyu's expression was indescribable. "Although I can't lie and say that Xiao Yuan treated me badly, isn't the word 'tolerance' a bit inappropriate?"

Ever since I entered the manor, he's either angry with me or giving me the cold shoulder. He's like a child, one minute he's nice, the next he's angry. Where is the tolerance?

July smiled awkwardly, "Madam, if I may presume to say something, the fact that you can still be alive and kicking here and eat whatever you want shows that the Chief Supervisor has been very tolerant."

So far, only two people who have consistently confronted our leader head-on are still living such carefree and unrestrained lives.

One is the Left Prime Minister, and the other is you.

The Left Prime Minister dared to do this because he was the Second Prince's father-in-law, protégé, and had many friends and associates who held high positions in the government.

Our Grand Eunuch cannot be shaken in a short time.

As for you…

Jiang Xinyu playfully interjected, "You mean Xiao Yuan didn't really do anything to me because he likes me, right?"

I know, and I won't deny it.

He likes me, and I like him, but a marriage isn't just about liking each other.

Feelings can deepen or gradually fade away; just because I like someone doesn't mean I have to go along with everything they say.

It's not that I have to lower myself and fawn over him just because I'm not as high-ranking as him.

Of course, if we have no feelings for each other and it's just a marriage of convenience, I can still be a virtuous wife.

I flattered and pleased him to make him happy, and he used his power to help me teach my enemies a lesson—a fair exchange of benefits.

But you must understand that a relationship based on interests is a relationship based on interests.

If it were just about interests, I wouldn't have any feelings for him. Whether he lives or dies, is good or bad, it wouldn't affect me at all.

The problem now is that he wants my feelings, and I have also given him my heart and want his feelings in return.

Therefore, we are equals, and I will not blindly try to please or give to anyone.

In July, she felt an itch on her head, as if her brain was growing. As a woman of this era, she didn't quite understand what the lady meant by equality.

The lady's status and position are inherently unequal to that of the supervisor. Why is it that when there is no affection, she can try to please him, but when there is affection, she is unwilling to lower her stance?

Jiang Xinyu looked at Qiyue with amusement. This girl was always calm and experienced, but now she finally looked like a little girl.

Since she couldn't figure it out, July didn't want to dwell on the issue anymore. More than theoretical knowledge, she wanted to clear up the misunderstanding between the lady and the supervisor.

When July told her that she had misunderstood Xiao Yuan, Jiang Xinyu just smiled.

It's not a misunderstanding.

Although he always gets angry and runs away for no apparent reason, I don't know the specific reason why.

But no matter how things change, the underlying principle remains the same, and I can roughly guess where the root of the problem lies.

It's just that she's insecure about her body!

Go back and tell Xiaodouzi that it's no use trying to persuade me about this; you should be persuading Xiao Yuan instead.

If he gives in to me, then none of this will happen.

I told him I didn't care, but he wouldn't believe me. What am I supposed to do?

There is a shortcut, though. You can have Xiaodouzi knock him out with a packet of sleeping pills, and I can force myself on him and sleep with him.

If once doesn't work, try twice; if they still won't listen, just sleep with them until they do.

Once I've thoroughly enjoyed him and touched him all over, he'll know I truly don't mind.

To prevent him from becoming suspicious and anxious all the time.

Jiang Xinyu became more and more convinced of the brilliance of her idea as she spoke, and patted July's shoulder with a smile.

"Good girl, my happiness with your master depends on you and Xiaodouzi."

It's just that your master's kung fu is too good. If I could beat him, I would have dragged him to bed long ago.

Men are all hypocrites. Once they've tasted the pleasures of women and know their advantages, they'll behave better next time.

"Hehehehe!"

Looking at his wife's lecherous expression and her standard villainous grin, July almost cried.

Help! Her wife has gone mad!
