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

Chapter 130 Shooting Yourself in the Foot

Now that summer has arrived and the weather is getting hot, Jiang Xinyu, fearing she would get a tan, had an indoor training ground built for her.

Unfortunately, the sunshade didn't insulate against the heat. After each workout, I was covered in sweat, and even the thinnest fabric made me uncomfortable in long sleeves and pants.

For this reason, she specially made several T-shirt and shorts outfits, but every time she wanted to wear a few maid outfits, it felt like the sky was falling.

Jiang Xinyu's frustration is beyond words.

You didn't stop me from wearing it when it was made, did you? Didn't you help with the cutting?

They make them but don't let people wear them; are they just keeping them as decorations?

The maids exchanged awkward glances.

They thought the lady had made this specifically for the chief supervisor to see, never imagining that the lady intended to wear it for training in broad daylight.

Jiang Xinyu also realized that these girls had mistaken this thing for sexy lingerie.

Good heavens, is this kind of stiff clothing called sexy lingerie just because it's a little short?

Where's the romance?

A boxy, straight-cut dress doesn't show off any figure at all; it would be a miracle to find any charm in such clothes.

However, this gave her a wake-up call, and soon, a real piece of sexy lingerie was born.

The bright red gauze, connected by several thin ribbons, was hazy and half-hidden.

But then, a small hole was cut at a crucial point, and a few small pearls were dropped in, instantly maximizing the allure.

Several maids whispered among themselves, looking at the tightly closed door, all wondering what the lady, who only knew simple needlework, was up to.

Xiaodie listened intently for a while.

She was certain that the lady was making clothes, but she couldn't understand what kind of mess the lady, who was usually bad at cutting, had managed to make after all that snipping and snipping with her scissors.

Jiang Xinyu looked at her finished product with great pride.

If you can't cut straight lines, can't you cut irregular strips of fabric? That's the beauty of the broken pieces.

As for sewing, it's even simpler. The number of stitches on this garment is less than that on a purse. The main selling point is that it's easy to make and quick to tear.

The maids had no idea what kind of monster their mistress had cut out after all that work, but by evening Jiang Xinyu knew perfectly well that she had cut out a lecherous monster.

Xiao Yuan's eyes nearly popped out when he saw his wife wearing this bizarre yet extremely alluring outfit.

He finally understood why his wife was so excited when he wore the black and gold python robe.

It's too erotic; I couldn't control myself at all.

Under the control of the red gauze dress, Chief Supervisor Xiao lost all reason and agreed to whatever the lady said without thinking, giving in to a whole bunch of unreasonable demands.

The next day, after waking up, Xiao Yuan looked at the red fragments scattered all over the floor and felt a little regretful.

But the lady said that a man's word is his bond, and he should keep his promise. How could he take back what he had already agreed to?

That's absolutely impossible; I can't do something so unmanly.

Jiang Xinyu's manipulation was so successful that Xiao Duzhu fell into her trap without realizing it, and he was quite happy to comfort himself every day.

His current principle is based on numerical comparison.

One is the percentage of how harmful this matter is to the wife, and the other is the percentage of how unhappy the wife is.

Anything that is harmful to your wife is absolutely forbidden; try your best to be obedient to her and avoid upsetting her.

If these two principles conflict, then refer to the specific percentage and strive to ensure the wife's safety while also making her happy.

Unfortunately, Chief Supervisor Xiao's stance in bed has always been wavering. With the addition of sexy uniforms and seduction, his already unstable balance immediately tipped.

Jiang Xinyu finally got rid of the guards in the courtyard and was able to wear her short clothes as she pleased.

Xiao Yuan knew that his wife disliked the heat, so he insisted on bringing out the cement two months earlier than originally planned for the flood season.

A sand and gravel merchant accidentally developed a powder that could turn into stone when mixed with water. He then used the connections of Supervisor Xiao to present it to the Emperor, wishing that the Great Jin Dynasty would be as solid, incorruptible, and immortal as this cement.

The old emperor was overjoyed, and the sand and gravel merchant was awarded the title of Imperial Merchant, while cement became an important controlled commodity.

The Ministry of Works supervised production, and the Ministry of Households supervised sales. Private sales were prohibited for three years, and the funds were only allowed to be used for dike and road repairs.

However, officials of the Great Jin Dynasty still had special privileges. In order to promote the wonders of this cement, the emperor specially allocated a certain share to all court officials.

The old emperor didn't forget Xiao Yuan's meritorious recommendation and even asked Xiao Yuan what reward he wanted.

Xiao Yuan appeared respectful on the surface, but inwardly rolled his eyes.

Asking that is utter nonsense. Do you think I'd actually give it to you if I wanted it?

But since this was the big boss, Supervisor Xiao could only suppress his disgust and say that serving the emperor was his duty, and that the emperor's happiness was the greatest reward for his servants.

This flattery certainly pleased the old emperor, and he became much more sincere when Xiao Yuan offered rewards.

Thinking about the letter he had received, Xiao Ling muttered an apology, then smiled ingratiatingly and flattered the old emperor.

"Everyone says that settling down and starting a family is the foundation of a career. Ever since His Majesty bestowed a wife upon Xiao Yuan last time, this kid has become even more diligent in his duties."

In this old servant's opinion, it would be better if His Majesty bestowed upon him another beautiful concubine, so that this lad could enjoy the blessing of having two women at once."

Upon hearing Xiao Ling's words, Xiao Yuan's face immediately darkened. He didn't understand why Xiao Ling had taken it upon himself to say such a thing.

But the old emperor was clearly interested in the topic and asked Xiao Ling with a smile if he had any suitable candidates.

"Your Majesty may not know this, but Consort Jin passed away a few days ago. After the 49th day memorial service, all the palace maids and eunuchs will be returning to the Imperial Household Department."

Qinglan, the most trusted palace maid of the late Empress Dowager, was also the niece of my godmother. Back then, my godfather told us brothers to take good care of this younger sister.

Qinglan is a gentle and virtuous girl, and with this connection, she would be a good match for Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he became even more nervous seeing the old emperor's keen interest.

He knew that refusing outright would definitely displease the old emperor, so he could only pretend to be aggrieved and kowtow to complain.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't! Xiao Ling is up to no good; he just can't stand to see me have a good time."

The blessing of having multiple wives is something only a man of multiple wives can enjoy; a eunuch like me doesn't have that kind of luck.

With so many women, there's bound to be trouble; how can a servant possibly manage?

The old emperor laughed heartily when he heard him reveal his shortcomings.

"My dear minister, there is no need to belittle yourself. It's just a few women. How could you not handle them?"

Since she's Old Xiao's niece, she's practically your childhood sweetheart. You really should have told me earlier so I wouldn't have arranged another wife for you.

Being a concubine now is truly a disgrace.

Xiao Yuan wasn't unaware that the old emperor had a perverse sense of humor and enjoyed seeing others in trouble, but he really couldn't agree to this.

If he actually agrees, it's easy to imagine how furious the lady will be.

He donated the cement hoping to expedite its production so he could build a large swimming pool for his wife and please her.

I never expected to shoot myself in the foot and get myself into such big trouble.

Xiao Ling, oh Xiao Ling, my dear third brother, didn't we agree to pretend to be at odds?

Why did you stab me in the back, and so viciously? You're trying to kill your brother!

In order to dispel the old emperor's idea, Xiao Yuan had no choice but to bring up his godfather and even angrily denounce Xiao Ling for being unfilial and disrespectful.

The old emperor nodded in agreement after hearing Xiao Yuan's explanation.

That makes sense. Taking care of my sister naturally requires finding her a good family so as not to fail Old Xiao's trust.

There are plenty of talented young men out there; marrying a eunuch is hardly a good outcome.

What's wrong with that old bastard Xiao Ling? It's one thing to compete with Xiao Yuan, but why is he even swindling his godmother's niece?

Does he even hold a grudge against Lao Xiao?
