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

Chapter 121 Giving Gifts

Jin Zekang used a self-inflicted injury ruse to lock Xie Zhuo down, and while secretly pleased with himself, he didn't forget to thank his matchmaker.

Yesterday, he was so worried about A Zhuo that he didn't have time to think it through. Now, after reviewing the situation, An Wang's interest in Jiang Xinyu immediately surpassed that of Xiao Yuan.

He wondered how the scheme he had devised targeting Xiao Yuan's personality could be broken in just one night. It turned out that this Grand Eunuch had an extraordinary strategist.

Considering that Governor Xiao first sent people and then withdrew them the next day, Jin Zekang reasonably suspected that it was that woman who had seen through his plan.

Interesting, things are getting more and more interesting.

His Highness Prince An is a master of time management and also a very good director; as for his acting skills, they are beyond question.

He never dared to tell Xie Zhuo the truth because he could tell that A Zhuo didn't like men.

Although Xie Zhuo had gradually developed feelings for him over the years, it was still very difficult for a man to accept the body of another man.

He either doesn't make a move at all or strikes with absolute certainty. Jin Zekang is ruthless enough to abandon his pride as a descendant of the imperial family and use himself as bait.

Even after it was over, he endured the pain and arranged a series of things.

Even the doctor's words were prepared in advance by him, just to make Xie Zhu feel guilty and moved.

This was also a prelude to coaxing Xie Zhuo into submitting to him later.

Once you take the first step in bed, things will fall into place naturally. Given Ah Zhuo's personality, even if she feels a little awkward, she won't refuse his advances later.

After arranging his own affairs, Jin Zekang didn't rest. He summoned his trusted guards and told them to go to the governor's mansion the next morning to give them a heads-up.

The list was of great importance, and he didn't want it to go through anyone else's hands.

Of course, the main reason is to take another opportunity to meet the wife of the eunuch, so it would be better to wait until he is feeling better and go by himself.

Since it was he who broke his promise, he specially prepared a small gift for the Eunuch's wife as an apology.

Finally, he poured two buckets of cold water on himself and only fell asleep peacefully when he felt a fever.

Jin Zekang's series of plans went very smoothly. When he came to his senses and comforted Xie Zhuo, Xie Zhuo was even more moved than ever.

He knew that His Highness liked him, but he did not expect His Highness's love for him to be so strong. Xie Zhuo's last bit of awkwardness disappeared and he took the initiative to kiss Jin Zekang's lips.

For a teenager who lacks love, it's wonderful to have someone who loves you more than they love themselves.

If someone is incredibly caring in ordinary times, they would rather be hurt than wrong you when it matters most, then does that person's gender even matter?

On the other side, Jiang Xinyu, who rarely gets up early, had breakfast with Xiao Yuan. While chatting, they were also waiting for news from Prince An.

When the guards from Prince An's mansion explained what the prince had instructed, Jiang Xinyu chuckled. Because there were many people around, she couldn't say anything, but she couldn't hide the mischievousness in her eyes.

Xiao Yuan didn't understand why the lady was laughing. Just as he was about to ask, the guard handed him another box, saying it was a thank-you gift from their prince to the wife of the chief eunuch.

Jiang Xinyu opened the box and looked through it, gaining a clearer understanding of Prince An's temperament.

It's interesting, and it's also something you won't lose out on.

Xiao Yuan glanced at it as well, and when he saw that it was a eunuch secretary, a common practice in the palace, his expression changed drastically. A chopstick almost pierced the throat of Prince An's secret guard.

Jiang Xinyu quickly intervened, saying, "Even when two countries are at war, they don't kill the envoys. He just brought you something, what did he do to offend you?"

"What's there to be angry about? I actually think this thing is quite useful."

As they were talking, Jiang Xinyu had Qiyue give the guard a fine purse, took out the book, and put a few red eggs into the box for him to take back to Prince An.

"I've accepted the gifts. Please thank your master for me. This box contains a return gift for him."

Tell him there's no rush regarding the list, and that he should rest well and avoid catching a cold.

The guard couldn't understand the veiled meaning between his master and the eunuch's wife. He was just a messenger, and after taking the item, he immediately went back to report.

After everyone left, Xiao Yuan was still angry, staring intently at the small picture book on the table until he seemed to have a hole in it.

Jiang Xinyu quickly picked it up and put it in her sleeve.

This is something that only circulates in the palace; she was worried about where to find it if Xiao Yuan didn't bring it home.

The physiological structure of a eunuch is different from that of a man. Although she understands some of it, the person being served knows best what is most comfortable.

The booklet was something that circulated among the palace eunuchs; it was firsthand information verified over many years, so its value goes without saying.

It's definitely an authoritative teaching material, and it's absolutely good stuff for her.

Unexpectedly, Prince An is quite shrewd and adept at manipulating people's hearts. If there's no conflict of interest, he'd be a good friend.

Seeing his wife put the booklet away, Xiao Yuan's face flushed red and then turned pale. He sat aside in a huff and refused to eat.

Jiang Xinyu chuckled and handed him a small steamed bun.

"You get angry too easily. That's just how things are between us as a couple. There's nothing wrong with you giving me this."

Didn't I return the favor with a gift?

If you're still not satisfied, have someone prepare two pounds of brown sugar, a ream of straw paper, and two liters of red beans and send them to him.

Prince An lost his virginity yesterday, so we should reciprocate, shouldn't we?

"Broken melon? What does that mean?"

"Haha, what else could it mean? It's just the literal meaning."

Jiang Xinyu smiled slyly, "I had Xiaodie give Xie Zhuo an aphrodisiac. Jin Zekang is not feeling well today and cannot come to deliver the list."

Isn't this obvious?

His Highness Prince An was so badly assaulted that he can't get out of bed.

Xiao Yuan's expression immediately turned strange.

"How is that possible? He's actually the one down there?"

Jiang Xinyu calmly took a sip of bird's nest porridge.

"Not necessarily. If they used navel oranges last night, then Jin Zekang would be on top of them."

Xiao Yuan covered his face helplessly. "Madam, although there's no one inside, there are still two guards on the roof. Be mindful of your image."

"Oh, if they can even hear me now, then wasn't it even more unseemly of you to be yelling so loudly the night before last?"

Xiao Yuan was speechless. "Let's put this matter aside and talk about Prince An instead."

I was wondering why you weren't eating the red eggs on the table; apparently, they were prepared for him.

"I never imagined that Prince Jin Zekang would be such a born rabbit."

Jiang Xinyu shook her head. "Both he and Xie Zhuo are tops, but when two tops meet, one of them must be the bottom."

Xie Zhuo's age and temperament don't seem like those of someone skilled in sexual matters. If he were to take the lead, Prince An would never have a comfortable time.

However, if Prince An were to take the lead, his intelligence and wisdom would surely make the two of them exceptionally harmonious.

Therefore, by any measure, it is more appropriate for Prince An to take the offensive.

Xiao Yuan was a little confused. "Wasn't Prince An suppressed?"

"Can't you tell the difference between being full at one meal and being full at another? No one is willing to be submissive. If Prince An takes advantage of Xie Zhuo while he is under the influence of aphrodisiacs, do you think Xie Zhuo will turn against him?"

But what if he sacrifices himself as bait to provide Xie Zhuo with the antidote and is severely injured in the process?

Just watch, Xie Zhuo has fallen into his trap. Anyone with a conscience would be completely fooled.

Jiang Xinyu lightly tapped Xiao Yuan's forehead and smiled mischievously.

"You should focus on the real case. This Prince An is quite interesting; I think he's worth dealing with!"

Xiao Yuan rolled his eyes speechlessly. His wife's knowledge, focus, and thought process were all quite peculiar.

He always felt that he couldn't keep up with her because he wasn't crazy enough.

Coincidentally, His Highness Prince An thought the same thing.

After seeing the red eggs brought back by the guards and hearing their polite words about taking care of his health and avoiding catching a cold, Jin Zekang became even more interested in Jiang Xinyu.

He has a keen and insightful eye for problems, and what's most amazing is that he's brave, resourceful, and shameless.

It's a pity that such an extraordinary woman wasted her life in the backyard of a eunuch. If she had been appointed as a military advisor and served in the army, she would surely have achieved great things.

Intelligent people often have eccentricities, but intelligent and shameless eccentrics are rare!
