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

Chapter 116: One word tells the truth

July and Xiaodie arrived quickly. As soon as Xiao Yuan mentioned the Fifth Prince, the two of them recounted the events of yesterday in detail.

This was now confirmed. Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, wishing he could tear those two beasts to pieces immediately.

July was startled by the murderous aura emanating from her master.

Thinking that the supervisor was angry that his wife was talking to a man, he boldly defended Jiang Xinyu for a couple of minutes.

Madam is truly innocent. Even if that young master Xie really had designs on Madam, it's not Madam's fault.

Don't be fooled by their wives' seemingly open-mindedness; they're actually bullies at home and only act like hooligans at home. The way Young Master Xie flirted with them is a perfect example of what women should do.

If this is considered unchaste, then she might as well not go out at all.

Xiao Yuan, of course, wouldn't blame his wife. He frowned and told the two of them to go back without saying anything.

Although Xie Lin said in July that he had lost interest in inviting her again because his wife was too rigid, Xiao Yuan firmly believed that the message he received was not false.

His wife is so beautiful, those two beasts would definitely be drooling over her, they wouldn't give up so easily.

Xiao Douzi has followed Xiao Yuan for many years and has witnessed the Chief Supervisor deal with many conspiracies and schemes. His sensitivity in this regard is no less than that of a seasoned veteran in officialdom.

He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

However, the chief eunuch tends to lose his composure when it comes to matters concerning his wife, and all he can do is try to persuade him to calm down and consider the matter carefully.

Xiao Yuan knew that being in his position meant he should never act impulsively, but the thought of someone coveting his precious treasure made him unable to suppress the urge to kill.

It would indeed require careful consideration to deal with the Fifth Prince, but if it were just Xie Lin, killing him would be easy.

That bastard has so many flaws, you could just grab any one of them and crush him.

Xiao Yuan's trusted spies immediately sprang into action, with Xie Lin and the Fifth Prince quickly becoming the focus of their attention.

To avoid worrying his wife, Chief Supervisor Xiao spent half a day adjusting his emotions before returning home.

But his action of calling away two maids at once was too obvious. Jiang Xinyu wasn't stupid; how could she not know that something had happened?

Originally, he didn't intend to tell his wife and disgust her, but since she asked, Xiao Yuan was afraid that she might underestimate the character of those two beasts and suffer a loss, so he told her the information he had obtained.

He especially emphasized Xie Lin and the Fifth Prince's perverted hobbies, and instructed his wife not to leave the mansion as much as possible before those two beasts died.

Jiang Xinyu was also shocked after hearing the bizarre story of the two. It was too outrageous, at least 5 stars in terms of its perversion.

Good wives are nothing new; Boss Cao is one, isn't he?

Rapists aren't a rare breed; there are scumbags who ignore women who come to them and prefer to force themselves on others.

But the Fifth Prince's orientation is indeed rather peculiar.

He liked to have his friends seduce married women, and then rape them after they were done with each other. What was most hateful was that he would have his friends watch.

Xiao Yuan chuckled softly as he saw his wife's disgust.

"Jin Zecheng has had this quirk for a long time."

He didn't want Xie Lin to see it; he wanted the husbands or lovers of the women he raped to see it.

This would be an utter disgrace for any man, even a prince.

At first, he only bullied the servants and their spouses in his own residence, but later he became bolder and gradually started targeting lower-level officials.

A few years ago, he became more restrained after causing a death, and then he brought in Xie Lin, a ghost, to help him hunt for women.

Those women who had affairs with Xie Lin dared not let their families know, so even when he forced them, they could only swallow their anger.

As for why Xie Lin was willing to do this grafted turtle, no one knows.

"Perhaps he coveted the power of the Fifth Prince..."

Jiang Xinyu added quietly, "It could also be that he was born with a cuckold fetish."

It's true what they say, fish attract fish, shrimp attract shrimp, and turtles attract turtles. It's a shame these two are just friends; they'd be perfect as buddies.

Xiao Yuan let out a "Huh?" indicating he didn't understand. Jiang Xinyu smiled slyly.

"If Xie Lin can give away one lover after another, I think he truly loves Jin Zecheng."

There's no need for a woman between them; it would be better to just lock them up directly.

Xiao Yuan smiled, hugged his wife, kissed her, and praised her.

"That's a good idea. I'll have someone drug them and make them happy."

"Why not just include Jin Zecheng's wife too? He slept with so many of Xie Lin's mistresses, he should reciprocate, shouldn't he?"

Jiang Xinyu pinched and tugged at Xiao Yuan's cheek.

"Men should not implicate innocent women when they make mistakes."

Of course, if the Fifth Prince's wife helped cover up Jin Zecheng's crimes, then she wouldn't be innocent.

However, these things are not urgent; at least for now, we should refrain from taking any action.

Xiao Yuan was immediately displeased, and Jiang Xinyu chuckled as she put her arm around his neck and reminded him,

"I really doubt how you became the supervisor. Didn't you see through such an obvious trap?"

Xie Lin and Jin Zecheng have no interest in me; someone wants to use you to do their dirty work.

Don't you think about it?

These two have always targeted minor officials of the seventh or eighth rank, and they don't even dare to touch those of the sixth rank. How could they suddenly have the audacity to make a move on me?

Xie Lin approached me without knowing my identity. If he had known, even if he wanted to seduce me, Jin Zecheng wouldn't have dared to.

As a prince, what I fear most is the emperor's suspicion. You, Xiao Yuan, are the emperor's eyes and ears outside. How could he be so foolish as to want to make an enemy of you?

As for thinking that it would be even more ridiculous if they didn't find out, that would be even more ridiculous.

"What is the Eastern Depot good for? How could you, the dignified head of the Eastern Depot, not even know your wife was stolen?"

After being reminded by his wife, Xiao Yuan realized that this matter did indeed seem unreasonable.

He also had a lot of information about Jin Zecheng. Although he was having a lot of fun, he always stayed at the lower levels. I've never heard of him daring to provoke any high-ranking officials.

Although he was a servant, he was known in the capital as someone not to be trifled with, and Jin Zecheng certainly didn't have the guts to provoke him.

Jiang Xinyu reminded Xiao Yuan again when she saw him react.

"The only people who know that I may have met Xie Lin and Jin Zecheng yesterday are those who were at yesterday's banquet."

I didn't encounter anyone else on the path to Baoyue Pavilion, so that person already knew the two were there, and seemed to have a good understanding of the Xie family's plans.

He might be Xie Lin's enemy or Jin Zecheng's enemy, but one thing is certain: he is definitely not an ordinary person.

The intelligence you received must have come from the Fifth Prince's residence.

Whether that spy betrayed you and gave you false information or someone deliberately misled him, it shows that person's influence extends to the Fifth Prince's side.

Think about it, would an ordinary minister place someone in the prince's residence?

The most likely person to do this, and to have the ability to do it, is still the old emperor's family.

"Aside from the emperor, do you think of any of the remaining suspects?"

Xiao Yuan's eyes sharpened immediately. "Yes, Prince An, Jin Zekang."

The Crown Prince is trapped in the Eastern Palace and lacks the ability; the Second Prince lacks the brains; and the Third Prince is constantly trying to win over his brothers, which is unnecessary.

The sixth prince was so bookish that he disdained intrigue and scheming, and the remaining princes were even less likely to be.

Only Prince An, Jin Zekang, is said to have broken his leg in a fall from a horse when he was young, which was related to Jin Zecheng, and he is still unable to walk properly to this day.

Moreover, his staff had a very close relationship with Xie Lin's cousin, Xie Zhuo.

Xie Zhuo frequently visits the Prince An's residence, so it's very likely that Xie Zhuo revealed the information that you met Xie Lin.

Haha, it's true what they say, a barking dog doesn't bite.

The Fourth Prince lives a secluded life and rarely appears in public; I had almost forgotten he existed.

"How dare he scheme against me, the Grand Eunuch! He must be tired of having such a peaceful life."
