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

Chapter 154 Beating the Son

Ye Xiao's angry roar startled the guards in the courtyard, who quickly jumped out to block Jiang Xinyu.

He Zhang, who arrived a couple of steps later, quickly stepped in front of Ye Xiao to block his way.

He noticed that Xiao Ye had been feeling a bit feverish these past few days, so he went to brew some herbal tea to help him cool down. But as soon as he finished brewing the tea, he discovered that Xiao Ye had disappeared.

Hearing from the maid that the young master had gone to the madam's courtyard, he felt uneasy, fearing that the two hot-tempered men might start arguing at the slightest disagreement.

I never expected that what I feared would happen, and this is even more serious than an argument.

Xiao Ye is really something; he loses his mind whenever he gets involved with the Grand Eunuch.

Regardless of the relationship between the lady and that strange man, there's no reason to shout it out so openly.

If the two of you are not having an affair, your slander of your stepmother will surely earn you a good beating.

If they are really having an affair, then it's even worse.

The Grand Eunuch is over a hundred miles away, and the entire mansion is now under the Madam's control. Aren't you afraid that she'll kill you to silence you?

Is it your one leg that's useful, or can I, a self-taught fighter, defeat the bodyguard?

Jiang Xinyu smiled coldly at Ye Xiao's bloodshot eyes, which looked like he wanted to bite her to death. She pushed aside the guards and He Zhang and dragged him to the ground.

Why can't I stop my child from talking nonsense?

It's probably because they're spoiled; a good beating will fix it.

Ye Xiao was pinned to the ground like a little turtle, unable to move, and then Jiang Xinyu's slap landed.

When a person is lying face down, the most noticeable part is their buttocks.

Ye Xiao was particularly outstanding, and Jiang Xinyu didn't even think before launching into a barrage of criticism.

Summer pants are so thin that when you hit them, they make a crisp, crackling sound.

Ye Xiao was stunned by the sudden turn of events, and then blushed deeply, her voice trembling with embarrassment.

"Stop it, you bastard! I'm going to tell my godfather."

Ye Xiao struggled violently, both anxious and angry. He would rather have his legs broken again than be beaten like a child.

How dare this woman do that?

Doesn't she know that men and women are different?

How could she hit her own skin?

There's no such thing as gender difference. You're just a little brat who hasn't even grown all his hair yet. I'm more than capable of being your mother.

To Jiang Xinyu, Ye Xiao, who was like a teenager with delusions of grandeur, was a rebellious son, and as his mother, it was perfectly justified for her to beat him up.

This was all thanks to Chief Supervisor Xiao telling his wife embarrassing stories about Ye Xiao's childhood, which earned the boy some goodwill; otherwise, he would be getting punches instead of slaps right now.

A slap hits flesh, a fist hits bone; if you really get a beating, you'll break at least two ribs.

He Zhang, who was prepared to fight to the death, knew from the way his wife was fighting that it was a misunderstanding.

As long as it wasn't murder to silence them, that's good.

He Zhang quickly covered Ye Xiao's mouth to prevent him from talking nonsense and getting beaten even more.

Seeing this scene, Jin Zekang touched his chest in fear; the tigress's wrath was indeed extraordinary.

No wonder Ye Xiao didn't cause any trouble; this was complete suppression by force.

You really can't judge a book by its cover. I never expected this woman to be so skilled in martial arts.

Jiang Xinyu hit him more than 30 times before stopping. Ye Xiao's left side was noticeably taller than his right side.

The boy's mouth was covered by He Zhang, and tears started falling.

He felt deeply betrayed; He Zhang was in cahoots with this woman, and they revealed their true colors as soon as their godfather left.

Jiang Xinyu stood up, took a sip of her cold tea, and waved her hand. The two guards quickly closed the door and stood guard outside.

"He Zhang, tell this brat what mistakes he's made."

He Zhang sat on the ground with Ye Xiao in his arms and smiled bitterly.

"Xiao Ye, calm down. If Madam really had ulterior motives towards the Chief Eunuch, do you think you would still be sitting here peacefully?"

Don't you know the term "murder to silence"?

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao suddenly stopped struggling, and He Zhang then released his mouth and continued speaking.

"Don't you think that if this gentleman and the lady have some unclear relationship, do you think you can enter the courtyard?"

The guards outside aren't just sitting around doing nothing. If the madam wanted to keep an eye on you, she would have known as soon as you left your own courtyard. How could she possibly let you see her?

The lady treats you like family and has never been wary of you, yet you presumptuously speculate and doubt her. You should apologize to her immediately.

"Stop downplaying the important points. If he had only ever considered me his godmother, he wouldn't have made baseless accusations and spewed such nonsense."

Jiang Xinyu glanced at Ye Xiao with disdain.

"I don't know what got into Xiao Yuan that made him take in such a thing as you."

I was hoping you, with your pig brain, would provide me with a comfortable retirement. I'd be lucky if you didn't ruin me.

I'll just ask you one question: are you smarter or is Xiao Yuan smarter?

You think your godfather is inferior to you.

"I don't!"

Ye Xiao realized that he might have misunderstood and was speaking somewhat hesitantly, but the pain and shame on his skin made him unwilling to give in easily.

Jiang Xinyu smiled coldly, "No? But don't your actions prove that you think Xiao Yuan is an idiot?"

If a supervisor of the Eastern Depot can't even see the person next to him in bed, what is he if not a fool?

Are you trying to say again that your godfather has been bewitched by me?

"You idiot, your godfather is twenty-eight, not some seventeen or eighteen-year-old brat. If he were so easily seduced by women, he wouldn't be alive today."

Jiang Xinyu rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on, and immediately shifted her focus when she saw Prince An watching the scene with amusement.

"Is it funny? If you like laughing so much, why don't you sell it?"

"Can you give me a definite answer on whether you can do the thing I asked you to do? If not, I'll find someone else."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's rare for Madam to entrust me with this task, I will certainly do my best."

Jin Zekang waved his folding fan, appearing completely calm and composed.

"News from Xuzhou comes every two days. If anything happens, I will have my bodyguards notify you immediately."

"I won't disturb you any longer while you're taking care of your son."

Jiang Xinyu picked up a stack of silver notes from the table and stuffed them into Prince An's hand.

"Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. Remember to have a doctor you know check it out so you don't get me counterfeit goods."

Jin Zekang knew that Jiang Xinyu was not short of money, so he did not refuse. He put the silver notes in his pocket, glanced at Ye Xiao with amusement, and said goodbye.

Today's trip was worthwhile; I witnessed a grand drama of an old mother teaching her son.

After the outsiders left, He Zhang nudged Ye Xiao, signaling him to quickly apologize to his wife.

This kid was used to being arrogant and couldn't bring himself to apologize. He hesitated for a long time before finally saying something.

Jiang Xinyu found the interaction between the two quite amusing; the calm, academically gifted top and the arrogant, easily angered bottom were actually quite a good couple.

Well, I'll extend that love to the child he's raised for over a decade.

He's just a rebellious teenager who rejects his stepmother. If they can get along, great; if not, they'll separate and live separately, keeping their distance.

Xiao Yuan doesn't have many close friends. He can't just become a complete loner and turn against his family just because he doesn't get along with her.

Back then, his aunt also disliked Xiao Yuan for being a eunuch. If Xiao Yuan knew that he would make things difficult for his aunt, he would definitely feel bad.

Jiang Xinyu, true to her laid-back nature, was quite open-minded at times. Knowing that He Zhang would definitely reason with the little idiot, she waved her hand and told the two of them to go back.

Ye Xiao was surprised that Jiang Xinyu was so easy to talk to today. After He Zhang helped him into the wheelchair, he still whispered an apology.

Jiang Xinyu sighed, "I hope you understand that not every 'I'm sorry' can be met with 'It's okay'."

You should learn from He Zhang more often. If you continue to be so reckless, I really will advise Xiao Yuan to give up on you.

It's not that I think you're bad, it's that I think you're too stupid. Someone like you who can't see the situation will bring trouble to your godfather sooner or later.

We are husband and wife, a community of shared interests. I understand that you find it hard to accept a stepmother who is younger than you.

I also hope you can understand that I don't want my own interests to be harmed.
