The Eunuch's Little Coroner Wants a Divorce Again

Everyone in the capital pitied the Chen family’s daughter. On her wedding night, the Chief Eunuch seized her as his bride. She had to part forever with her dashing groom and spend her days as the wife of a living eunuch, condemned to a living widowhood. Or perhaps, if she couldn’t bear the loneliness, she’d end up drowned in a pig cage! The Chief Eunuch tapped the fan ribs against the handsome young eunuch beside him. “I hear I forced you into this marriage?” Chen Yuan shuddered. “N-no, that’s nonsense. I’m the one who… fooled your innocent, lovesick heart.” The Chief Eunuch straightened his python robe and gave a cold, upturned smile. “Which sounds more fun: living as a widow or being drowned in a pig cage?” Under the pressure of that life-or-death question, Chen Yuan thought fast. “Of course, being Lord Chief Eunuch’s loyal hound is much more fun.” “Heh. I’m called a lackey of the imperial court. You want to be my lackey? Fine, this case is yours.” “Thank you, Lord Chief Eunuch!” “Hmm?” “Thank you, husband, for giving me the chance to investigate the case!”
