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

Chapter 169 True or False

Jiang Xinyu was also taken aback. "Why are you looking at me like that, sir? Is there something I did wrong?"

He Bi asked doubtfully, "Are you the wife of the Chief Eunuch?"

Jiang Xinyu nodded. "Yes, what else?"

He Bi chuckled twice, "No, hehe, I didn't expect that Madam would look so dashing in men's clothing. She's completely different from yesterday."

I wonder if they have caught up with the Chief Supervisor?

"Does Your Excellency have any instructions?"

Jiang Xinyu frowned immediately. "Yesterday? Lord He, do you mean you saw me yesterday?"

when?"

He Bi, not knowing what the Grand Eunuch's wife was up to, stammered in reply.

"It was around 1:45 AM yesterday, you've forgotten?"

Jiang Xinyu gave a cold laugh, "I traveled day and night from the capital and only arrived in Xuzhou today. How could Lord He have seen me yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, He Bi also suspected that he had drunk too much yesterday, so he quickly called in the doorman who had been guarding the gate yesterday.

After carefully examining the situation, the doorkeeper confirmed, "Absolutely right. Yesterday, the supervisor's wife wore a light blue Confucian skirt, used a blue silk carriage, and was accompanied by two bodyguards from a security escort agency."

"They said they were here to see the Grand Eunuch, and it is indeed I who have reported this; there is no mistake."

Jiang Xinyu's expression turned cold upon hearing this; it seemed that Yan Fei had gotten there before her.

As He Zhang had guessed, there really was someone who could disguise themselves so convincingly that they were indistinguishable from the real thing.

Jiang Xinyu didn't have time to waste with He Bi and said directly, "That was a thief in the martial arts world who was skilled in disguise and deliberately dressed up as me to assassinate Xiao Yuan."

Where did he go after that?

He Bi was so startled that she dropped the letter. "You... how can you guarantee it's real?"

Damn, he wasn't shrewd when he should have been, but he's suddenly realized it now.

Jiang Xinyu pointed disdainfully at the letter he had dropped, "This was given to you by the Fifth Prince. Does that Lady Eunuch have any token of her affection?"

He Bi slapped his forehead.

Oh right, that person came and went so quickly that he didn't even have time to ask if the other person knew the Fifth Prince.

Actually, it's not really appropriate to ask, since one is a married woman and the other is a bachelor; asking such a question would be somewhat ambiguous.

But the eunuch's wife came with a letter...

He Bi quickly picked up the letter and read it quickly. No doubt about it, both the handwriting and the tone were those of the lady's unfortunate nephew.

It seems this is the real one!

The thought that the thief, guided by him, had gone to find the Grand Eunuch a day ago, and that if he had acted quickly, he might have already made a grave mistake, made He Bi's voice tremble.

"They've gone east; the Grand Supervisor is going upstream to provide disaster relief, you must hurry and catch up..."

No, no, no, don't chase after them, just wait here.

"I will immediately dispatch guards to pursue them. Several officials from the Eastern Depot are also present; I will inform them to provide support."

Jiang Xinyu heard the direction and turned to leave. When He Bi chased after her, she had already mounted her horse and galloped out of the city, leaving only a trail of dust behind.

He Bi slapped his thigh in dismay. Oh no, this is a case of selling one and then selling another.

Indeed, this Lady of the Eunuch was no ordinary woman.

He said it himself: a man like the Living Yama is not someone that ordinary young women can handle.

Seeing his master looking as if he had lost his parents, the servant quickly tried to comfort him, saying that a day and a night had passed since the fake lady was discovered, and if the assassination had succeeded, they should have received the news by now.

Since there's no news, that's good news. It means either the thieves didn't catch up with the governor or they were captured by him.

The old man should just put his mind at ease and focus on disaster relief.

As for this Lady of the Imperial Censor, look at the way she mounts her horse; she's probably quite skilled in martial arts. You shouldn't worry about that.

There was really no other way now, but He Bi still quickly called his trusted attendants to follow along the eastward route.

He should at least explain things clearly; he's never met the Eunuch's wife and he really didn't mean to make a mistake.

In case the female thief hasn't shown up yet, it'll be good to give the supervisor a heads-up.

However, He Bi's actions were indeed unnecessary.

The difference was only two hours. Even though Yan Fei's carriage was slower, he caught up with Xiao Yuan's group near dusk.

At this time, Governor Xiao was conducting disaster relief in a nearby village, using the same old methods.

While spreading the strange tales and stories of the Heroes' Shrine in Xuzhou City, they also distributed food and masks to everyone.

These small villages are only visited briefly, leaving behind a few people, a doctor, and some food.

Xiao Yuan and his group didn't enter the village but set up tents on the outskirts. When someone reported that the Chief Eunuch's wife was requesting an audience, Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up.

Little Bean, fearing that the Grand Eunuch might get confused upon hearing the word "Madam," quickly reminded him.

"Yan Fei, maybe it's that Yan Fei."

Xiao Yuan's face immediately darkened.

Why are you so talkative? Can't you let me be happy for a while before you start talking?

Alright, let Yanfei go then. He doesn't want his wife to come to such a dangerous place anyway.

If Yan Fei's disguise is convincing, he'll keep him for a couple more days to look at his portrait as if it were his wife, thus easing his longing.

It was a real blunder; he had always been reluctant to let a painter paint a portrait of his wife, and he hadn't even mastered painting himself.

After coming out, there was no portrait of the lady to see, which made me extremely sad.

At this moment, Governor Xiao was like a teenager obsessed with anime figurines, staring at his wife's life-size figurine with great joy.

When Yan Fei heard that he had been invited in, she quickly composed herself. When she looked up again, her eyes were blurry with tears, and a tear was hanging on her lower eyelash, about to fall. She looked incredibly beautiful yet tragic.

As soon as she saw Xiao Yuan's tear finally fall, Yan Fei called out "Husband" tenderly and ran two steps to rush into Xiao Yuan's arms.

Little Bean silently turned his head away.

It's unbearable to watch. Anyone in the Governor's Mansion who gets even a little close to the Madam can tell it's fake.

Who said that Yan Fei imitated others so convincingly that he could pass for the real thing?

This is so similar in appearance but not in spirit, it's not even a high-quality replica, at best it's something you'd find on Pinduoduo for 9.9 yuan with free shipping.

Xiao Yuan was momentarily disappointed, but the word "husband" really stirred his heart.

So, before Yan Fei could rush into his arms, Supervisor Xiao shifted his body and stuck out one foot.

Yan Fei couldn't brake in time, tripped, and fell to the ground with a thud.

As expected of the third leader of the Ruyi Sect, Yan Fei's endurance was outstanding. He fell heavily to the ground and instantly changed his voice to a gentle female voice, "Ouch!"

Then, with a beautiful pose, she turned her head and looked at Xiao Yuan with a mournful expression, as if she was aggrieved that he hadn't caught her.

Xiao Yuan coughed and spread his hands, "I'm sorry, my wife, I just came into contact with a patient infected with the plague. Please don't come near me."

"If my wife gets infected, I'll be heartbroken."

Xiao Yuan's words sounded so convincing and reasonable that Yan Fei put aside his doubts and didn't even notice Xiao Douzi standing next to him pinching his thigh to suppress his laughter.

If Yan Fei had observed the lady in the mansion for even a few days, he wouldn't have made such a foolish mistake.

Although he looks, has a similar figure and voice, he has not been able to imitate the lady's charm at all.

That's not entirely true; the lady does have times like that, but...

While other families might use words, the lady in this family would definitely use her hands. Usually, when the lady speaks in such a sweet and coquettish way, her hand would definitely be on the eunuch.

Whether it's kneading or pinching is uncertain, but the supervisor was definitely teased until his face turned red.

If it were the Lady who was tripped by the Eunuch, then the Eunuch would be as if he had stepped on a thunderbolt.

Forget about such sweet, coquettish whining; the moment the lady lay down, she'd let out a scream of "Holy crap!"

Then he had to curse the supervisor for the duration of an incense stick burning without pausing or repeating himself.

It starts with "Xiao Yuan, you son of a bitch!" and ends with "This life is unbearable!" and in between, it's accompanied by a little iron fist pounding your chest with two fingers pinched between two fingers.

To be honest, the eunuch was more seriously injured after angering his wife than after fighting the bandits.

After all, even if bandits don't bite, it's impossible for the supervisor to be bitten by bandits.

Not only was Xiao Douzi lost in thought, but Xiao Yuan also felt a mischievous urge when he saw Yan Fei winking at him.

Zhang Zhongyi is such a good person; seeing that he was bored during the disaster relief efforts, he specially sent him a toy.

"If I had this, I wouldn't be sleepy anymore," Chief Supervisor Xiao's smile gradually became wicked.
