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

Chapter 160 Critical Point

Xie Zhuo ultimately failed to see Jiang Xinyu. It wasn't that Prince An couldn't stop him from pestering him and refused to take him; it was that even if he went, he wouldn't be able to see her.

When news first broke that the Eunuch's wife had fallen ill, Prince An knew that this woman was about to cause trouble again.

In particular, the imperial physician diagnosed that he was weak due to excessive worry and overwork.

That's absolutely hilarious.

That woman is as strong as an ox, how can she be weak? If someone like her is considered weak, then someone like me could just be buried alive.

But there are very few people in this world as insightful as Prince An. Everyone took it for granted that Xiao Yuan's wife was bedridden.

A few days ago, Jiang Xinyu gained a lot of reputation from the Jiang family's visit to the sick. The senior doctors and imperial physicians spread the word that the Grand Eunuch's wife knelt and chanted prayers for the Grand Eunuch for five hours every day.

In ancient times, there wasn't much entertainment, so everyone loved gossip. The protagonist of the marriage exchange six months ago had new rumors, and everyone wanted to hear about them.

Since it's gossip, naturally there are all sorts of things to say.

Some people praised the Jiang family for their good upbringing and the eldest daughter for her loyalty and filial piety, while others gloated that Jiang Xinyu was still quite devoted to a eunuch after marrying him.

Some well-informed and insightful individuals came up with another possibility: that Chief Supervisor Xiao was not at home but was being controlled by that young master Ye.

This wife of the eunuch, whose family background is not very supportive, may have fallen ill because of her adopted son.

Regardless of the theory, no one doubted the truth about Jiang Xinyu's illness.

In fact, it cannot be said that Jiang Xinyu's illness was entirely fake; at least her condition at the time was quite frightening.

Eating century-old ginseng as a staple food does indeed have effects.

Jiang Xinyu's body was accumulating more and more power, which made her somewhat anxious and restless. She could only intensify her training every day to release her excess energy.

It wasn't until noon that day, after drinking a large bowl of nourishing soup, that a burning sensation suddenly spread throughout his body.

When July saw that the lady's face had suddenly turned completely red and was steaming, he immediately cried out and asked to find a doctor.

Jiang Xinyu stopped her, saying that she had a lot to say and that no one should touch her, and that there was no need to panic even if she was unconscious.

Jiang Xinyu was already a little confused when she said this, but she insisted on waiting until He Zhang and Ye Xiao arrived, fearing that the maids would ruin things.

She didn't distrust July and the others' loyalty, but rather their resolve.

The time it takes for superpowers to awaken varies and the scenes are different.

If she were to remain unconscious for three to five days, even if she had ordered that she not be moved, I fear that the maids would not be able to withstand the pressure.

In comparison, the daughter-in-law is more reliable. She not only has self-control but can also keep Ye Xiao in check to prevent him from causing trouble.

Then there are the secret guards, who act as a check and balance among the three parties to prevent any mishap from interrupting her awakening.

When He Zhang heard that the Grand Eunuch's wife was not feeling well, he rushed over but didn't even have time to push Ye Xiao away.

Ye Xiao punched the wheelchair and urged the servant to push it faster.

He had already made up his mind to get along peacefully with Jiang Xinyu. If something happened at this time, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his godfather when he returned.

In just a short while, Jiang Xinyu's clothes were soaked through, and sweat was dripping onto the ground, which looked very abnormal.

The four bodyguards on duty were also summoned in. Looking at everyone, Jiang Xinyu forced a smile.

"You must all remember what I am about to say, and you must not disobey it no matter what happens."

I've been practicing a very special martial art, and I've been consuming large amounts of tonics these days in order to break through the current level.

I've reached a critical point now and I might fall into a coma, but no matter how many days I fall into a coma, you must not touch me.

Listen carefully, this applies to any situation!

Even if I die, there's no need to collect my body. Either wait until I regain consciousness or wait for Xiao Yuan to come back before letting him bury me.

In July, you and the guards will stay at the house. If any outsiders visit or any news comes, He Zhang will handle it.

Now, everyone get out, lock the house, and seal it off. No one is allowed to come in again.

Jiang Xinyu barely managed to finish speaking before she was already swaying unsteadily. July and Chunxing, their faces streaked with tears, instinctively went to support her.

He Zhang sternly shouted, "Stop!"

He finally understood why the lady insisted on summoning him and the guards.

These maids are really unreliable. I told them not to move, not to move, but they just don't understand what I'm saying.

Martial arts masters are most wary of being disturbed when they are in seclusion, otherwise, they may suffer from qi deviation and reversed meridians, which is no joke.

The maids, unaware of the complexities involved, could easily cause trouble.

Seeing that He Zhang understood, Jiang Xinyu finally felt a little relieved, and only slowly collapsed to the ground after the door was locked.

Before falling into a deep sleep, she was thinking that she hoped her awakening of her superpowers would go smoothly without any dramatic or ridiculous events.

It wasn't that Jiang Xinyu was being overly anxious and worrying about unrelated things; it was just that she had seen many examples of this before, which made her unable to be careless.

In particular, the experience of one of her friends left her with a deep psychological shadow. She was really afraid that if she fell into a coma, she would be tortured by being pricked with needles and forced to take medicine, which would cause her to fail at the last minute.

Sometimes, well-intentioned but misguided actions are more annoying than deliberate sabotage, because those who do such things are often people close to you.

Regardless of whether he's sincere or not, he'll use the guise of doing what's best for you to make you suffer injustice and hurt, leaving you unable to complain or express your grievances.

Otherwise, you'll be seen as ungrateful and heartless, instantly turning you from a victim into the object of others' condemnation.

Her friend spent three years preparing for the civil service exam and became so exhausted that she even saw a psychologist.

She finally passed the written and oral exams, but failed during the background check because of her mother's sharp tongue.

She had told her mother countless times not to talk nonsense, but her wonderful mother just couldn't control her mouth and kept begging the political reviewers to make sure her daughter passed.

She's going crazy if her daughter doesn't live a long time.

Her daughter has already seen a psychologist.

If her daughter doesn't survive, she won't live.

Look at how great a mother's love is.

Unfortunately, such great maternal love could not shake the rules of the political vetting process; they were following the rules and could not be relaxed by her pleading.

The girl, who was perfectly fine, was rejected because her mother exaggeratedly played the victim and deemed her mentally weak and unsuitable for the job.

A thousand days and nights of hard work have gone to waste; the girl is truly going crazy this time.

But before she could even get angry, her mother started crying, blaming everything and everyone, complaining that the political reviewers were inhumane and that her daughter wasn't smart enough and hadn't scored high enough on the test.

In short, I don't blame myself for saying the wrong thing.

If you open your mouth and say "How is that possible? I don't know," then it means that if you want to get first place, no one can beat you.

The relatives and friends who initially complained about her mother's nonsense quickly changed their tune.

A simple "Your mom was doing it for your own good" or "Your mom didn't do it on purpose" smoothed things over.

It's as if she's being petty or even refusing to smile at people, which is considered disrespectful, outrageous, and unforgivable.

But how could she possibly laugh?

Her mother had it tough, but did she have it easy enduring thousands of days and nights of hardship?

Yes, she's not a top student; she's just not very bright, which is why she has to work incredibly hard.

It's not her fault that she's not a top student. She's already worked very hard, so why should her efforts go to waste for such a ridiculous reason?

The girl's exact words were:

She wouldn't be so upset if she didn't pass the exam because of a competitor's sabotage; she could just pick herself up and try again.

But it was her closest relative who stabbed her in the back, shattering her spirit and energy.

She felt hopeless and unable to try anymore.

Since that incident, Jiang Xinyu has learned her lesson, and she is really afraid that the girls will do more harm than good.
