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

Chapter 228 Jiang Wanqiu's Awakening

The prison warden reported Zhao Chengye's desire to see Jiang Xinyu to Ye Xiao.

This young man ignored him completely and had someone whip him.

That toad-like thing tries to cling to his mother; who gave him such a big face?

Zhao Chengye, however, refused to give up and cried out that Jiang Xinyu was his wife and Xiao Yuan should marry Li Mingyue.

He also talked about his past life, the Third Prince's ascension to the throne and Xiao Yuan's beheading. Although it was madness, it was very coherent.

Upon hearing the report, Ye Xiao actually went to the imperial prison.

Zhao Chengye felt like he had seen a savior and asked him to make sure to pass on some messages to Jiang Xinyu.

In the past, Ye Xiao would probably have treated him as a madman, just a matter of giving him another bowl of mute medicine.

It won't matter if I behead you in a few days.

But now, having experienced so much, Ye Xiao has become more mature, and anything unusual must be a sign of trouble.

When Zhao Chengye confessed, he still had some integrity; it's unusual for him to go insane so soon after being imprisoned.

In addition, although what he said was strange, it was very logical and did not seem like the ramblings of a madman.

Just to be on the safe side, Ye Xiao really carried on his message.

Jiang Xinyu paused for a moment after hearing this, then revealed a mocking smile.

"Just because he wants to see me, I have to go? Who does he think he is!"

Even the emperor has to consider my schedule to see me, so I don't need to pay attention to him. If I find him noisy, I can just give him a bowl of medicine to quiet him down.

Tell him, I have nothing to say to him.

If he wants to dream, then he can sleep a little longer; anything can happen in dreams.

Jiang Xinyu's reaction was not unexpected, and Ye Xiao did not think much of it. After relaying his mother's words, he had Zhao Chengye's tongue cut out.

Although it's crazy talk, it's also extremely blasphemous, so it's best not to let more people hear it.

He didn't want to cause trouble for his mother with any talk of rebirth or changing his fate.

Ye Xiao and He Zhang are becoming increasingly close. After returning from Jiang Xinyu's place, Ye Xiao told He Zhang in detail about Zhao Chengye's unusual behavior and Jiang Xinyu's expression.

For some reason, he always felt that what Zhao Chengye said wasn't entirely nonsense.

If, as he said, his father married Li Mingyue, it's possible that, just as he predicted, his efforts would ultimately fail.

Through some case files and interrogations, Ye Xiao roughly understood what kind of person Li Mingyue was.

Ambitious but lacking in cunning, fickle, reckless, and foolish.

That woman had feelings for Zhao Chengye when she was still a young woman, and if she were forced to marry her father, she would certainly not live a peaceful life.

It wouldn't be surprising if someone got involved with Zhao Chengye and became Zhang Zhongyi's inside man.

He Zhang rubbed his head to tell him not to overthink it. Since his mother didn't want to see him, he should just shut him up.

What happened in their past lives is none of their business; they just need to live well in the present.

Zhao Chengye never expected that Jiang Xinyu, who loved him so much in his past life, would refuse to even see him. Just as he was about to make a scene, Ye Xiao cut off his tongue.

Before he was beheaded, he endured pain he had never experienced in two lifetimes.

When all is quiet.

Sometimes he would reminisce about his happy life with Jiang Wanqiu in his previous life, cursing Jiang Xinyu in his heart for ruining it all.

Sometimes I wonder if I was too cruel to Jiang Xinyu in my past life and this is the retribution I'm getting in this life.

To be fair, although that woman was stupid and arrogant and not as gentle and sensible as Wanqiu, she was not malicious.

She was very beautiful and devoted to him. If he hadn't fallen in love with Wanqiu, they probably could have made it work despite their bickering.

Sometimes, when he's in too much pain, he might have some evil thoughts.

Since Jiang Xinyu was reborn, changed her husband, and took revenge on her in this way, why should Jiang Wanqiu be able to stay out of it?

He wasn't initially interested in the Jiang family's somewhat plain-looking illegitimate daughter.

After all, he doesn't even look down on the legitimate daughter, so how could he possibly look down on the illegitimate daughter of a minor official?

But Jiang Wanqiu was too sensible and understanding, she understood him perfectly, just like a tapeworm in his stomach.

Every word she said tickled his sweet spot, and she always considered his feelings, making him feel like he was floating on air.

He didn't know when it started, but he became increasingly impatient with Jiang Xinyu, while he became happier and happier chatting with Jiang Wanqiu.

Not only herself, but even her mother and younger sister liked Jiang Wanqiu and disliked Jiang Xinyu.

He increasingly felt that a woman like Jiang Xinyu could not be his good wife or help him in his career.

So when Madam Liu proposed killing Jiang Xinyu and using one dowry to marry off two daughters, he agreed without a second thought.

Looking back now, it's really laughable.

He always thought Jiang Xinyu was vicious, but in reality, Jiang Xinyu only made a lot of noise and never killed any maids or abused any servants.

Even though those servants of the Jiang family were not respectful enough to her, they were all outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant.

On the other hand, why did he initially think Jiang Wanqiu was kind and good-natured?

How kind can a woman be who can flirt with her soon-to-be brother-in-law and hope that her sister dies so she can remarry?

Don't say that Jiang Wanqiu was unaware of the situation.

It was something her parents planned themselves; how could it have been possible without her approval?

As he was on the verge of death, Zhao Chengye experienced a rare moment of clarity, but this clarity was of little use.

Jiang Xinyu had long ago planned her way out and completely left him.

No wonder the other party doesn't care about him anymore.

Jiang Wanqiu fell ill with fright after Zhao Chengye's incident.

Liu was so frightened by the fever and delirium that she prayed to gods and Buddhas all night long.

Ever since Jiang Xinyu got married, everything has gone wrong at home, and every day she lives is torture.

The master treated her with increasing disregard, even openly sleeping with the maid and showing her no respect whatsoever.

Quan'er spent more than half a year at the Imperial Academy and was almost ruined. He became timid and would kneel down whenever someone raised their voice.

But the old man just wouldn't let him drop out of school, and her heart was breaking as she watched her son grow thin and bony.

Late Autumn's marriage prospects were neither good enough nor bad enough, and she even almost ruined her previously good reputation.

A few days ago, she was pleased to hear that Xiao Yuan had died, thinking that she could get a large sum of money as a dowry for Wanqiu after that little bitch returned home as a widow so that she could find a good husband.

Unexpectedly, after only a few days of happiness, the old eunuch was still alive. Not only was he alive, but he also rose to become the Marquis of Zhenguo, controlling half of the country.

Liu felt like the sky had fallen; she had been so angry that her heart, liver, and lungs were aching.

But Vice Minister Jiang was always as happy as a sunflower, and whenever he saw Liu looking unwell, he would slap her across the face, complaining that she was unlucky.

He's now a father-in-law who's over nine thousand years old, even though his son-in-law hasn't given him a good look or promoted him.

Liu had no choice but to swallow her anger, but misfortune never comes singly.

Jiang Wanqiu fell ill again, and as if possessed, kept muttering Zhao Chengye's name.

Liu cried her heart out in disappointment, cursing Zhao Chengye as a scourge.

If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have let Wanqiu date him in the first place.

Little did she know that Jiang Wanqiu's fever wasn't just from being frightened; she was also faintly regaining memories of her past life.

That's why they're called the male and female leads; even though they've lost their protagonist aura, they're still different from everyone else.

Unfortunately, she woke up too late; her fever had just subsided when she heard that Zhao Chengye was going to be beheaded.

Despite her illness, Jiang Wanqiu went to the execution ground, only managing to say a few words before her time was up.

Zhao Chengye sobbed, his tongue gone, his eyes filled with hatred.

He understood what Jiang Wanqiu had said earlier; it turned out that not only had he remembered his past life, but Jiang Wanqiu had also been reborn.

What's the use? They woke up too late.

He's already gotten his comeuppance; now it's up to the Jiang sisters to see who comes out on top.

He's waiting for him in the underworld no matter who it is; the grievances of three people cannot allow him to die alone.

Zhao Chengye died, and Jiang Wanqiu fainted the moment his head hit the ground.

For Jiang Wanqiu now, Zhao Chengye is her husband of several decades and the father of her children.

The excruciating pain was driving her crazy.

After waking up, Jiang Wanqiu neither ate nor drank, silently shedding tears. She now had only one belief.

Kill Jiang Xinyu, kill her to avenge her husband.
