Cen Ying was pouring tea when she heard this, her hand trembled, and the tea spilled out.
"Chengli?" Her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but lose her composure.
"Where did this abbot come from? He's spouting nonsense! Who castrates themselves to ward off disaster?!"
Cen Ying knew he was talking nonsense, but she was really curious as to why Jiang Chengli was so enthusiastic about castration.
Knowing he couldn't get rid of Xing Xiaoya, he wanted to castrate himself; knowing his father and brothers would become obsessed with Xing Xiaoya, unable to extricate themselves, and causing irreparable harm, he wanted to castrate them all.
His solution to problems is to cut off his own or someone else's genitals.
[Ugh, you're insane! Jiang Chengli, are you even a man? If you don't want to be a man, give your manhood to someone who needs it! Jiang Chengxiao really wants it, give him your manhood!]
[Damn it, this guy doesn't know how lucky he is, and he's making up all this nonsense! What abbot would dare say such a thing in ancient times? Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no descendants; to be childless and without a lineage is a grave sin! Host, host, expose him! He's really out of his mind!]
The system was extremely agitated, on the verge of collapse, and even emitted static.
Xu Wanying was stunned by Jiang Chengli's words. Then, seeing the system crash, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Ha—" She wasn't just laughing inside, she was laughing out loud too.
Although she quickly suppressed her laughter, it still sounded very abrupt in the extremely quiet environment, and the others couldn't help but look at her.
"Wanying, what do you want to say to Chengli? Say it, and your mother will support you!" Cen Ying immediately grasped her hand and made a serious statement.
Xu Wanying coughed lightly, lowered her head slightly to hide the smile in her eyes, and pretended to be disappointed.
“Mother, the husband is the head of the household. I will naturally support whatever my husband wants to do. I only hope that my husband can live a peaceful and smooth life in his later years. As for everything else, we can talk about it.”
She could even utter such a heavy phrase as "the husband is the head of the household," which was obviously a lie, and the system started screaming in frustration.
[Host, are you crazy? You really want to be a eunuch's wife? Don't think that just because this is ancient times, you'll be condemned by everyone. Even in modern times, you'll be laughed out of the house!] Although the system's voice was electronic, you could still hear the gritted teeth in it, clearly indicating that it hated him to the extreme.
"Being a eunuch would be easier! Xing Xiaoya isn't some heartthrob, she's a jinx! Anyone who gets close to her is doomed. Jiang Chengli was her number one protector, and in the end, he lost his family. Now that he's a eunuch, surely Xing Xiaoya wouldn't even look at him? You should tell Xing Xiaoya all this, tell her to stay away from Jiang Chengli." Xu Wanying didn't take it seriously.
"Hmph, Xiaoya has a tolerant and loving heart. She won't despise Jiang Chengli just because he's become a eunuch. On the contrary, she'll respect and cherish him even more!" the system said decisively.
Xu Wanying immediately rolled her eyes. Here we go again, the system's outrageous double standards.
Hearing such cheesy words, she didn't even want to argue. She stood up and grabbed Jiang Chengli's hands.
"My lord, go ahead and become a eunuch. I know you're doing all this for the peace and prosperity of the entire Marquis's mansion. I was born a daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, and I will die a ghost of the Jiang family. I will always be by your side!"
Xu Wanying suppressed her nausea and uttered these extremely nauseating words. She even raised her head and stared at him affectionately, her eyes glistening with tears, sincere and heartfelt.
Actually, it wasn't any deep affection; it was just that I was disgusted with myself. My throat was itchy, and I had a physiological urge to gag. To suppress this uncomfortable feeling, I forced it out.
[Ahhh, host, you've gone mad! You're actually encouraging your husband to become a eunuch. Call the police! Call the police right now and have you arrested...]
The system was clearly driven to the brink of collapse by Xu Wanying and began to ramble incoherently.
"System, this is ancient times. Who can I call the police? Besides, whether Jiang Chengli is a eunuch or not is irrelevant to me. I can avoid Xing Xiaoya, avoid being a sucker, and stay away from trouble. Why not?" Xu Wanying said with a smile, her tone full of teasing.
"Furthermore, even if we take a step back and assume he castrates himself, so what? You just said he has no manhood, and he never did. So what if he castrates himself? There's no loss!" she continued.
These words sounded like a reassurance at first glance, but were actually a mockery. The system was so angry that it couldn't even speak, and the static kept whirring, as if it was about to disconnect at any moment.
【System, are you dead?】 Xu Wanying added fuel to the fire when she saw that it didn't speak.
[Hmph, he's not dead. Let Jiang Chengli go to hell. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a manhood. Anyway, Xiaoya and he didn't have any romantic relationship. It's fine for him to be a eunuch, as long as he doesn't use effeminate gestures and speaks in a high-pitched voice.] The system was quite provoked, but it reacted quickly and came up with a rebuttal.
Xu Wanying curled her lip and gave a cold laugh.
She took Jiang Chengli's hand again and whispered, "But husband, isn't it enough for you to castrate yourself? Our Marquis's mansion is large and prosperous, a family with a hundred-year history. Do you need my second brother to join you?"
"Ah, me?" Jiang Chengxiao, who had been standing aside watching the show, was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't help but point to himself, his face full of shock.
“Yes, brothers united can move mountains.” Xu Wanying nodded.
[Ahhh, host, what are you doing? Why are you dragging Jiang Lao Er into this? He's not your man, why are you demanding he be childless? You're too cruel! How dare you say such things to your second brother-in-law? How are you going to explain this to your second sister-in-law? They don't even have children yet...]
Upon hearing this, the system went into a frenzy. It had no idea why its host had acted up again. Not only was it happy to see Jiang Chengli become a eunuch, but it was also encouraging Jiang Chengxiao to join in, practically turning the Jiang family into a den of eunuchs.
“Madam is right. When I first met my second brother, I sensed that he was a promising talent.” Jiang Chengli echoed her words.
Jiang Chengxiao immediately objected, taking two steps back to distance himself from the eccentric couple, and raised his voice to demand, "What good seed? Third brother, explain yourself clearly. You don't think I'm a good seed to be a eunuch, do you? If you dare say that, I'll never forgive you!"
He was clearly on the verge of a breakdown, his heart burning with anger, just waiting for the right moment to explode.
"Second brother, you misunderstand. I said you are the pillar of the family. If you and I were to sacrifice yourselves to ward off disaster, the effect would be even better, and it would ensure the Jiang family's continued prosperity." Jiang Chengli was obviously seizing the opportunity to cooperate with Xu Wanying in playing tricks on the dog system.
