The Boss Transmigrated Into A Matriarchy Novel (Quick Transmigration ARC 3) Chapter 127(42)
“You still dare to mention Liu Family Village? It was clearly Yun’er who saved me and took good care of me for months. Yet, when he was away, you took advantage of the situation and used the name Lianqing to deceive me, claiming to be my savior. Do you, as a man, really have no shame at all?”
If Lian Qing weren’t a man, Nan Jun would have loved to slap him to death right now.
“All the kindness I have shown you, all the promises I have made, are because you saved my beloved, not because of you, you venomous and heartless man!”
“No! You keep calling out Lian Qing’s name, not Qiao Yun’s…”
Lian Qing rushed forward and hugged Nan Jun’s leg, crying out.
Lian Qing was still not giving up. He could not forget how gently Nan Jun called his name and how she took care of her along the way.
“It’s because your name is Lian Qing that I can’t even call Lian Yun’er by his maiden name anymore, because I don’t want to… open my mouth and be reminded of my own stupidity!”
Nan Jun kicked Lian Qing away, her face full of disgust. She was absolutely fed up with this man in front of her.
“No…it’s not like that, Sister Jun, Sister Jun, you can’t do this to Lian Qing…”
“Don’t call me Sister Jun anymore, that’s not what you should call me.”
“Heh… You didn’t say that before. When Lian Qing called you Sister Jun, you readily agreed, but now…” Lian Qing glared at Qiao Yun with his reddened eyes, gritting his teeth, “Yes! It’s all your fault, Qiao Yun. Why do you always try to take everything from me? When we were little, you stole my name, making me the laughingstock of everyone. Now you want to take my Sister Jun. Why are you targeting me at every turn?”
Qiao Yun sighed helplessly and said coldly, “The matter of the name was not what I wanted; it was all a coincidence. And Sister Jun… she was never yours!”
“Haha… It was never mine, yes! It was never mine, even the kind words you spoke to me during that time were just because I took credit for your efforts. Haha…”
Lian Qing lay on the ground, laughing for a moment before bursting into tears.
There were many children in the family, and he was not favored from a young age.
In order to win favor, Lian Qing learned to scheme and plot from a young age, but he was still tricked and driven out of the Lian family because he offended the master’s eldest son.
Later, after much tossing and turning, he was rescued by Qiao Yun and went with him to his master’s place. However, his master was unwilling to teach him medicine and only asked him to grow medicinal herbs, saying that it was to temper his character.
Now, even the woman he loves is tired of him. What is left of him in this world?
“Guards! Take this poisoner to the Court of Judicial Review and hand him over to the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review for trial…”
Before Nan Jun could finish speaking, Qiao Yun grabbed her arm.
“Sister Jun, no…”
Qiao Yun shook his head at Nan Jun. What kind of place is the Dali Temple? Apart from royalty and nobles who might come out alive, anyone else who goes in is doomed.
If a man who has committed a serious crime is sent there, it is inevitable that he will be violated.
Although Lian Qing committed heinous crimes, he was also a pitiful person.
Qiao Yun knew about Lian Qing’s past. Although he was angry at his lack of ambition, he also pitied his background. Even if he had to die, he should die cleanly.
Nan Jun had never been to Dali Temple and had lost her memory, so she didn’t know the details, but Qiao Yun knew very well.
Perhaps because they were both men, Qiao Yun cared more about a man’s innocence.
“You still want to plead for such a poisonous man? Do you think it’s not enough that he didn’t kill you today?”
Nan Jun was somewhat annoyed by Qiao Yun’s kindness. If it weren’t for the fact that Lian Qing had indeed taken care of her for three days, she would have killed him on the spot.
“Sister Jun, Yun’er isn’t stupid. There’s always a reason why someone is pitiful. Yun’er doesn’t want to plead for him. But if he dies, he’ll die. However, if he goes to the Dali Temple, he’ll be defiled even in death. Yun’er just can’t bear to see his childhood playmate suffer such humiliation. Please, Sister Jun, have pity on him…”
Nan Jun helplessly pulled Qiao Yun’s hand. She had not experienced Qiao Yun and Lian Qing’s past, so she could not empathize with them.
Nan Jun always listened to Qiao Yun, and she wouldn’t insist on doing things he disagreed with.
“Qiao Yun, don’t think that I’ll be grateful to you just because of this!”
Lian Qing’s fingers were firmly gripping the soil, his beautiful hair was disheveled, and he looked extremely pathetic.
“I never expected your gratitude, nor did I wish for you to be humiliated. I only cherished the last bit of friendship we shared in our childhood. From this day forward, our relationship is severed, and we have no further connection whatsoever!”
Qiao Yun couldn’t bear to look at the person on the ground anymore. Lian Qing, who had once given him some genuine affection, was gone…
When Du Guijun passed away, Nan Jun vented her anger on the Qiao family. When Qiao Yun was heartbroken, the thin little boy named Lian Qing also became Qiao Yun’s shoulder to lean on, saying many heartwarming words and keeping him company through many difficult nights.
So when everyone else abandoned him, Qiao Yun took him to his master.
Now, all the friendship has vanished with this assassination attempt.
When Lian Qing looked over with red eyes, Qiao Yun had already turned his head away.
Nan Jun pulled Qiao Yun away with a pained expression, and led him away.
“Drive them out of the mansion and let them fend for themselves!”
This time, Lian Qing did not beg for mercy or cry foul. Perhaps Qiao Yun’s resolute decision reminded him of the past…
The next morning, it was common knowledge that the young master of the Lian family had been expelled from the Eighth Princess’s mansion for impersonating the Eighth Princess’s savior.
There’s never a shortage of interesting things in the capital, and this incident will naturally be forgotten over time, just like when the Eighth Princess brought her savior back to her residence.
That day, Qiao Yun had just met with the managers of the shops under the Eighth Princess’s Mansion when he was stopped by an unfamiliar servant.
“This servant greets the Eighth Prince. Someone has entrusted me to deliver this jade pendant to the Prince.”
The servant bowed deeply to Qiao Yun and then presented a jade pendant with both hands.
Qiao Yun frowned and stared at the jade pendant for a long time before finally reaching out to take it.
“Are you one of my uncle’s people?”
“The Queen asked me to pass on a message to the Prince, requesting that he take some time to come to the palace in the next couple of days.”
A murderous glint flashed in Qiao Yun’s eyes, but thinking of Nan Jun’s situation, he suppressed it and simply gripped the jade pendant tightly in his hand.
“I will go, but from now on, I do not wish to see you in the palace again!”
After saying this, Qiao Yun turned and left, leaving only the servant with his back turned.
No one in this world can harm Nan Jun, not even her own uncle.
Qiao Yun did not want the Empress to place their people in the Eighth Princess’s residence. If that servant was not one of the Empress’s people, Qiao Yun would not have spared his life.
Qiao Yun initially intended to kill the servant as a warning to the Empress and the Crown Princess, but he feared they might harm Nan Jun, since Nan Jun had no memory of anything and was unable to handle many things properly.
“What’s wrong, Your Highness? Did those managers give you a hard time?”
Shuang’er carried in the pastries that the kitchen had just prepared. As soon as he arrived, he saw Qiao Yun’s ashen face and hurriedly asked with concern.
