Chapter 125 Second Cooperation
Chapter 125 Second Cooperation
Jiang Xinyu's bizarre remarks left Prince An baffled. How could anyone have a child without sleeping with a woman? That's utter nonsense.
But seeing Jiang Xinyu's serious expression, he patiently listened, wanting to see what this woman would say.
Unexpectedly, the wife of the Grand Eunuch was truly a woman who would never be afraid to say something shocking. Prince An was glad that he hadn't been drinking tea at that moment, otherwise he might have choked to death.
Jiang Xinyu's remarks were shocking in this era. She herself didn't realize it, but Prince An was embarrassed.
He knew this woman was outspoken, but he didn't expect her to be this outspoken. No wonder she didn't mind Xiao Yuan's physical disability at all; her thought process was simply inhuman.
Jiang Xinyu saw Prince An blush and scoffed disdainfully.
"You've already gone all out to seduce men in order to turn them gay, so why are you pretending to be innocent here? Anyway, I've given you the method, so whether you use it or not is up to you."
Remember to pay attention to the timing; women are most fertile around 15 days after menstruation.
"After leaving the body, you should enter the woman's body as soon as possible; if you wait too long, the seed will die. It's best if the two rooms are adjacent."
Jin Zekang awkwardly covered his face, "Madam Xiao is truly a heroine among women, I admire her."
"If this method can truly lead to the birth of an heir in the future, I, the king, will surely reward you handsomely."
"I know you're thinking I'm shameless, but that's okay, I don't care."
But one thing is certain: don't think about taking the child away from the mother, and don't mistreat the woman who gave birth to your child. Consider it an act of good karma for the child.
Alternatively, you could have the same woman bear your children separately.
Two children born of the same mother are brothers, and supporting each other will prevent any misunderstandings.
Jin Zekang sighed, "Madam Xiao, I am not that heartless."
My three fiancées also had their own secrets. Only the third one I killed; the first died of illness, and the second faked her death to elope with someone.
Jiang Xinyu didn't seem to care much about Jin Zekang's character; since her master had finished paying, he should be rewarded.
She wanted to know what Prince An had found out that was related to her.
Upon hearing her ask for information, Jin Zekang immediately revealed a malicious smile.
"This news of mine is of utmost importance to Madam Xiao. Cooperating with me will definitely not be a loss for you."
News from the palace says that Consort Jin is in bad shape; it's estimated she'll be gone within the next few days.
Jiang Xinyu was completely baffled. "What does it matter to me whether Consort Jin is good or not? I don't have any official title. Even if she dies, I don't need to mourn her."
Prince An had an expression that said, "It seems that Chief Supervisor Xiao didn't tell the Madam. I was the one who spoke out of turn."
However, compared to Xiao Yuan, I would much rather befriend my wife, and naturally I don't want her to suffer any loss.
Jiang Xinyu frowned impatiently, "If you want to befriend me, can you at least change the way you talk?"
"Would it kill you to speak your mind?"
Prince An choked for a moment, "To put it bluntly, your rivals are returning to the capital. Those two are not easy to deal with, so be careful."
"Rivals? Two of them? Is Xiao Yuan's romantic history really that extensive?"
Jiang Xinyu gave her a look that said, "Aren't you kidding me?"
Prince An smiled smugly, "I knew you would be interested and would go out of your way to investigate. Consider this a small gift from me to my wife."
Xiao Yuan's adoptive father, the old eunuch Xiao, had a close relationship with a woman named Xu, who entrusted her young niece, Xu Qinglan, to him after she passed away.
Later, the old eunuch Xiao also went, and Xu Qinglan was assigned to be a palace maid by the side of Consort Jin.
Xu Qinglan liked Xiao Yuan and had asked someone to mediate between them, but Xiao Yuan didn't agree, probably because he wanted to arrange a proper marriage for her.
However, Xu Qinglan was quite persistent, and the two of them remained locked in a stalemate, dragging things out.
Two years ago, Consort Jin went to Nanshan Temple to recuperate and has not returned since. In the past few days, news has come that something bad is about to happen to her.
Once Consort Jin is gone, Xu Qinglan will definitely come back. Since there's no one left in her family, she might just move into your residence.
That woman has been waiting for Xiao Yuan for so long that she's already twenty-three or twenty-four, and now she has no relatives or friends left. Who knows, Xiao Yuan might soften his heart and take her in.
"Wow, a pure love warrior, quite persistent!"
Jiang Xinyu casually smoothed her hair. "Anything else? Didn't you say two?"
Jin Zekang wasn't sure if Jiang Xinyu was feigning composure or genuinely indifferent, so he cleared his throat and continued.
"The other one is Ye Xiao, which is more complicated."
Ye Xiao's original name was Ye Twelve. He was also a palace eunuch, and many people assumed that he was Xiao Yuan's godson.
The reason it was tacitly accepted was because Xiao Yuan had raised him as his godson but hadn't given him any official status.
He called Xiao Yuan his godfather, but Xiao Yuan neither changed his surname nor held a formal banquet for him.
The kid changed his name to include Xiao Yuan's surname, Ye Xiao, the Xiao from Ye Shier (叶十二) and Xiao Yuan (肖).
Jiang Xinyu nodded knowingly, "I understand, an Oedipus complex, a rootless version of homosexuality."
A tragic love story between two eunuchs: "How can I possibly love you, my godfather!"
Pfft, Prince An finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Mrs. Xiao certainly didn't disappoint him; her thought process was indeed quite bizarre.
"Hahaha, no... no, Mrs. Xiao is overthinking it."
Jin Zekang rarely laughed so heartily, and now he was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down his face. Afraid of ruining his disguise, he could only use a handkerchief to gently dab the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Ye Xiao is not a father-son frenemy. He was bullied by an old eunuch when he was a child and would never like a eunuch. He truly treats Xiao Yuan as his own father and is filial to him."
I said he's your rival in love because he'll definitely help Xu Qinglan deal with you, so you'll essentially have two more rivals in love.
According to the information I have gathered, that boy greatly admires Xu Qinglan and cannot tolerate anyone saying a bad word about his sister Lan.
When you face Xu Qinglan in the future, you'll probably be facing Ye Xiao, who charges into battle for you like a mad dog, rather than that woman first.
Don't blame me for not reminding you, Ye Xiao's martial arts are quite good, and his methods are ruthless, much like Xiao Yuan's.
Although he respects Xiao Yuan, he will not approve of you. In addition, he works for the Eastern Depot and lives in the Supervisor's Mansion, so he has more connections on both sides than you do.
"You'll be in danger if Xiao Yuan can't take care of you."
Jiang Xinyu nodded knowingly, "Xiao Yuan quite approves of him but didn't take him as his godson, probably because the age is not suitable?"
Therefore, Ye Xiao should be about ten years younger than Xiao Yuan.
A promising young man specifically applied to protect a concubine, haha, needless to say, it was for his sister Lan.
Wow, that's quite interesting, especially since it involves a father-son love triangle.
Xu Qinglan is probably the gentle, virtuous, and loving wife and mother type. This guy is starved for love, so he definitely has no resistance to a woman like her.
Ye Xiao likes Xu Qinglan, Xu Qinglan likes Xiao Yuan, and Ye Xiao also has great respect for Xiao Yuan.
I guess this kid is planning to protect me silently.
If those two become a couple, he will be a dutiful son and take good care of his adoptive parents.
Now that I've become such a variable, he probably hopes I'm dead and gone so he can make way for his sister Lan even more than Xu Qinglan does.
Prince An gave him a thumbs up in admiration, "You're absolutely right, spot on. How about that? Isn't my information pretty helpful?"
"That's enough, I know of Your Highness's kindness."
Jiang Xinyu smiled faintly, "I'll say it again: we have no conflict of interest, and it would be best if we could cooperate and achieve a win-win situation."
I am a person who holds grudges, but I also repay kindness. If Your Highness needs anything, please don't hesitate to ask.
Jin Zekang: "Can you please stop teasing me in the future?"
Jiang Xinyu: "Then can you stop being so sarcastic in the future?"
In unison: Get out! No way!
