Chapter 36 Modern People Are Soft-Hearted
Jiang Xinyu's wish to go shopping was ultimately not fulfilled, and she returned to the Governor's Mansion with more than ten carts of things.
What Xiao Yuan said made sense. The capital city was such a small place, and many people were watching and making a fuss about such a rare event as a bride exchange. As the person involved, she should still keep a low profile.
Even though there were no TikTok or Weibo in ancient times, any new news would still be spread widely.
After the court was dismissed and the nobles returned home, half of the capital was talking about this matter.
Jiang Xinyu knew without asking that public opinion could be roughly divided into those categories.
One is to believe that the marriage swap was an accident.
The second is that they think Xiao Yuan used tricks to change his wife.
The third is that Zhao Chengye and Li Mingyue had been having an affair for a long time, but both of their families had engagements, so they had to switch places.
Fourth, he believed that the girl from the Li family did not want to marry a eunuch, so she framed the girl from the Jiang family.
But no matter what the argument is, without exception, there will be a sentence added: the girl from the Jiang family is really unlucky.
It can be said that no one in the entire capital city believed that it was Jiang Xinyu who planned the marriage exchange, and everyone sympathized with her.
It really didn't seem appropriate for her to go shopping happily at this time.
But she was really happy, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face, she wanted to set off some firecrackers and hire a lion dance team to celebrate for finally getting rid of that scumbag.
Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows at Jiang Xinyu who was complaining.
"I'm so happy that I didn't marry into the Zhao family
It's too early to be happy. The idiots are not good people. Aren't you afraid that you have escaped from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den?"
Jiang Xinyu was stunned, "You also like Jiang Wanqiu?"
Xiao Yuan felt that he couldn't keep up with this guy's train of thought, "Who is Jiang Wanqiu? Why do I like her?"
"My concubine sister, a talented lady with a certain reputation, a big green tea white lotus flower.
Half of the reason why Zhao Chengye wanted to kill me was because of her. If you didn't like her, why did you want to kill me?"
"The bastards didn't mean to kill you."
"Zhao Chengye wants to kill me, so he is the wolf's den. Since you don't want to kill me, why do you say you are the tiger's den?"
Xiao Yuan suddenly touched Jiang Xinyu's face and smiled sinisterly, "Death is not the only thing that is the most terrifying. You are a eunuch. When you torture people, you will be unable to live or die.
Don't think I will go easy on you just because you are my wife, otherwise... well."
Xiao Yuan was seriously speaking harsh words to Jiang Xinyu, when suddenly the carriage tilted sharply and Jiang Xinyu fell directly into his arms.
As luck would have it, their lips touched each other.
Xiao Yuan hurriedly pushed the person away but his face turned red unconsciously, he didn't know whether it was because of embarrassment or anger.
In order to hide the embarrassment, he lifted the curtain, scolded the driver and told him to go back and receive his punishment, but he could not say any more threatening words.
He didn't want to say anything but Jiang Xinyu was getting excited, grabbing his sleeve and shaking it.
"My dear, please continue. Then what?
Just because she is the madam, she will not show mercy to my subordinates. If she is a real lady, can you give her some preferential treatment?
Let me make it clear first, you were the one who ran away from the bridal chamber yesterday, you can’t blame me for being in name only.”
Xiao Yuan covered Jiang Xinyu's mouth in anger, "What nonsense are you talking about on the street? If you keep talking nonsense, you won't have dinner."
Jiang Xinyu quickly waved her hand to indicate that she would not say anything more.
A good man never suffers a loss in front of him. For her at the moment, eating is the top priority.
But she didn't expect Xiao Yuan to be so thin-skinned that he would blush just after a kiss by accident.
This eldest brother is already 28 years old. In this era where it is common for children to become fathers at the age of 18, such a pure-hearted person is probably rare.
Could it be that the eunuchs of this dynasty were special?
Xiao Yuan is still the only one who is special.
Jiang Xinyu found it more and more interesting. She had found a treasure. What should she do if she suddenly wanted to bully him?
Because her major is forensic medicine, Jiang Xinyu also took the elective course of criminal psychology, some of which talked about how disability or impotence lead to extreme thoughts.
A typical example is the eunuchs in ancient times. Because of the double trauma both physically and psychologically, they were often more brutal and perverted in sexual affairs.
The young eunuchs who were fourteen or fifteen years old and had their first love life and had a relatively smooth experience were relatively better. They would give gifts and show concern for the palace maids they liked.
If you can successfully form a couple with the person you like and receive warmth and love, there will be no difference between you and an ordinary couple except that you cannot have normal sex.
But if a person does not have a stable partner or is not happy with his/her life after the age of 20, he/she will often start to become extreme.
Some powerful people forced young eunuchs, palace maids and even concubines in the cold palace to leave the palace and go to brothels when they had the chance.
It is not uncommon for a eunuch of Xiao Yuan's age and rank to have three wives and four concubines. It is rare for a woman to have no talent.
Although Jiang Xinyu didn't say anything, she kept looking at Xiao Yuan until Governor Xiao couldn't bear it anymore and slapped her hard, then she behaved herself.
After returning to the Governor's Mansion, the chief steward immediately came to report that the maid Chunhong, who had been brought back early, had woken up and wanted to ask the master whether he wanted to question her.
Xiao Yuan waved his hand to let the people leave, then looked at Jiang Xinyu with a sneer.
"You want to keep this kind of slave who eats only what he has and eats only what he has"
Jiang Xinyu shook her head quickly, "I don't dare to use it, but I can't kill it either, it's a human life after all.
As for the servants I brought with me, although they had indentures, most of them were illegitimate children of the Jiang family and their loyalty to me was almost zero.
My husband, please make the arrangements. It is best not to let them stay in this house. It would be terrible if someone bribed them to frame us."
Xiao Yuan rarely praised her, "You're not that stupid. You have a manor as a dowry, so just put everything there.
I'll arrange a few maids for you to use later.
But you are still too soft-hearted. It's okay for others, but you can't do without your two original maids.
They have served you closely for more than ten years and know you too well. If maids like these are not loyal, they should not be allowed to live.
At the very least, it should be sold at a distance after being injected with mute drugs, otherwise it will become a disaster sooner or later."
Jiang Xinyu swallowed her saliva when she saw Xiao Yuan's serious tone, "It's not necessary. It would be too cruel to feed a teenage girl with a dumb drug."
Xiao Yuan smiled coldly, "Many times, you don't need a knife to kill someone, a tongue is enough.
Don't think that those young ladies who cut off their maids' tongues are all vicious. That is the experience accumulated from piles of bloody lessons.
No matter whether it is an unmarried girl or a young wife, once her characteristics are known by someone with ulterior motives, it is like having a death warrant.
Not to mention some underwear, earrings, jewelry, etc. If they are taken away by someone with ulterior motives, you won’t be able to explain even if you have 100 mouths.
Do you think the Zhao family is so poor that they are willing to spend 2,600 taels to buy Zhao Zhenzhen's reputation?
For unmarried girls, reputation is sometimes more important than life.
Don't be soft-hearted.
Last year, the daughter of Cheng Yushi's family discovered that her wet nurse was stealing, but she simply drove her away out of consideration for their past friendship.
But the old woman held a grudge and told a playboy who was interested in the girl the bellyband and the shape and location of the birthmark on her body.
Guess what the result is?
Jiang Xinyu shuddered suddenly.
Generally, there are only two results in this situation. Either the girl sacrifices herself to preserve her reputation, or she marries the man and compromises.
But if I really marry someone with such bad character, will the outcome be better than hanging myself?
