TBTAMN Chapter 124

The Boss Transmigrated Into A Matriarchy Novel (Quick Transmigration ARC 3) Chapter 124(39)

“Um.”

Qiao Yun had been getting restless for a while. Even though he had practiced martial arts since childhood, he couldn’t stand the torment that someone had given him all night.

Nan Jun helped Qiao Yun up and they went straight back to their courtyard.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the steward, who had been on edge because of what had just happened, suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, Anfeng reacted quickly and caught the butler as he swayed.

“This old servant is getting old and useless…”

The steward smiled wryly and steadied himself by supporting Anfeng’s arm.

“You’ve always been too kind, which has emboldened them. It’s good that things are like this now; it’s long overdue for a male master to properly manage the household.”

Anfeng admired Qiao Yun’s decisiveness, his straightforwardness, and his clear distinction between rewards and punishments.

“Wang Jun is a discerning man and won’t blame you, sir.”

An Yu also offered words of comfort.

The old steward had been in charge of the Crown Princess’s residence since the time of the Emperor. Later, after the late Emperor passed away and the new Emperor entered the palace, the old steward had nothing to do.

Later, when the Eighth Princess established her own residence, the Emperor was still worried and sent her back to serve at the Eighth Princess’s residence.

Now that the housekeeper is getting old, she is no longer able to do many things, and today’s reprimand has made her feel very upset.

“It was also this old servant’s fault, I was negligent…”

“It’s inevitable. Since your master doesn’t blame you, you shouldn’t worry about it. Just do as Wang Jun wants in the future.”

An Yu patted the steward on the shoulder and turned to chase after Shuang’er.

Whether it was because Wang Jun had seen through her thoughts or not, An Yu always felt that Wang Jun was intentionally letting her work with Shuang’er, giving her an opportunity!

Anfeng also wanted to leave, but was stopped by the steward at the exit.

“What did Master mean by what she said today? What about that young master in the manor?”

This is one of the reasons why the steward felt she had offended the Prince. She had always thought that Lian Qing was the Eighth Princess’s savior, and seeing that the child had been kind to her master, the steward paid more attention to Lian Qing.

In addition, since Qiao Yun was not favored by Nan Jun when he married into the family, the steward overthought things and neglected the Prince, instead focusing her attention on Young Master Lian Qing.

“You only need to remember that the master’s heart belongs to only Wang Jun; as for others, they are of no importance!”

Ever since Anfeng learned that Lian Qing was not Nan Jun’s savior, she instantly lost all goodwill towards him and wished she could get him out of the mansion as soon as possible to prevent him from causing any more trouble.

In fact, on the day of Nan Jun’s wedding, when Lian Qing sent someone to say that he was ill, Anfeng had already lost any goodwill towards this man.

Even if he has her own master in his heart, he shouldn’t act recklessly regardless of the time and place.

“Irrelevant?”

The steward murmured the words “An Feng,” seemingly understanding but not quite. But wasn’t Young Master Lian the master’s savior? How could he be considered unimportant?

Well!

It’s true that as people get older, they can’t see through anything. It’s like how the Eighth Princess and Wang Jun suddenly became inseparable, or how the Eighth Princess’s savior suddenly became just a decoration…

As soon as the door closed, Qiao Yun was lifted up by the woman beside him.

“I wonder if my husband is satisfied with what I have said today?”

“Very satisfied.”

Qiao Yun wrapped his arms around Nan Jun’s neck, rested his head on her shoulder, and smiled contentedly.

“Now that everything is settled, all that remains is to send Lian Qing to your master.”

Nan Jun placed Qiao Yun on the soft couch, put a soft pillow behind him, and sat down beside him.

Because of Lian Qing, Nan Jun no longer wanted to call Qiao Yun “Lian Qing”; she just didn’t want that annoying person to appear in her mind when she thought of him.

“Sending him away isn’t a big deal, but what about you? Have you found out who poisoned you and injured you in the first place?”

Qiao Yun was most concerned about Nan Jun’s safety. He couldn’t rest easy until that trouble was eliminated.

Nan Jun casually pulled Qiao Yun into her arms, fiddling with his slender fingers, and said, “It’s nothing more than a power struggle within the imperial court!”

Qiao Yun stiffened, pursed his lips, and hesitated before saying, “Sister Jun, I believe in Uncle’s character. What happened to your Father really had nothing to do with Uncle. Although Her Highness the Crown Princess has always been suppressed by Mother Empress, she has never had any intention of harming you, and Yun’er will not let them hurt you.”

The Empress has always been a thorn in the side of Qiao Yun and Nan Jun. Qiao Yun’s willingness to be honest with her today is because he does not want their relationship to be strained because of this matter.

“I know.”

Although Nan Jun couldn’t remember the past, she could feel the Emperor’s love for Consort Du.

Since he was the emperor’s favorite man, the emperor must have already investigated the cause of his death.

Since the Emperor himself had said that this matter had nothing to do with the Empress, Nan Jun had already believed it.

Besides, judging from Nan Jun’s opinion, Qiao Yun is an upright and honest person, and the Qiao family must also be a kind and honest family. As a descendant of the Qiao family, how could the Empress take the initiative to kill the Emperor’s most beloved man?

If Consort Du was truly murdered by the Empress, why would the Empress have voluntarily requested the Emperor to grant a marriage between the Eighth Princess and the only descendant of her maternal family? Wouldn’t that have extinguished the Qiao family’s lineage?

Anyone who isn’t a fool can figure out the intricacies of it all.

Qiao Yun never expected Nan Junto say those two words so calmly. When he looked up, Nan Jun still had that composed look on her face.

Qiao Yun asked happily, “Sister Jun, do you really believe in Uncle?”

“Of course, I was blinded by hatred in the past, which made me a target of manipulation. Now that I think about it, who benefits the most from my feud with the Qiao family? If I and the Crown Princess were to fight to the death, wouldn’t that person have achieved their goal?”

Qiao Yun had also thought about this, but the emperor had many daughters, all of whom were eyeing the throne. If it came down to who was behind this, he didn’t know.

“Sister Jun, you know that Mother Empress loves you the most. Have you… have you ever thought about that position?”

Qiao Yun leaned close to Nan Jun’s ear and whispered a question.

Nan Jun turned to look directly at Qiao Yun and said seriously, “What if I wanted to?”

Qiao Yun pursed his lips and said, “Then Yun’er will definitely lend a helping hand to Sister Jun.”

A scene suddenly flashed through Nan Jun’s mind, as if this man had whispered in her ear, “Even if Sister Jun really wants this empire, Yun’er will stand by your side.”

“So you don’t care about the lives of your uncle and the Crown Princess?”

“Will Sister Jun spare their lives for Yun’er’s sake?”

Qiao Yun nestled into Nan Jun’s arms. He knew that if Nan Jun wanted the throne, the Emperor would definitely depose the Crown Princess and appoint a new heir apparent.

“With Yun’er by my side, what use is this empire to me?”

Nan Jun’s cheerful voice rang in Qiao Yun’s ears, and Qiao Yun’s body stiffened, then went limp in her arms.

If he could do it all over again, he would still be willing to endure those years of suffering for her.

To hear her words today is enough to make his death worthwhile!
