TBTAMN Chapter 111

The Boss Transmigrated Into A Matriarchy Novel (Quick Transmigration ARC 3) Chapter 111(26)

Now that things had come to this, Lian Qing didn’t want to waste any more of Nan Jun’s time. His goal was to get rid of Qiao Yun, so what if he ended up finding a scapegoat?

Lian Qing had never imagined that Nan Jun would trace the matter back to him.

In Lian Qing’s heart, he was Nan Jun’s savior, and Nan Jun naturally wouldn’t doubt him.

Little did he know, besides Qiao Yun, who else in the world could Nan Jun trust so much?

Nan Jun paused, then nodded and said, “Well, since you’ve injured your spleen and stomach, Mr. Lian, rest well and stop overthinking.”

There was a hidden meaning in Nan Jun’s words, and it wasn’t clear if Lian Qing understood. With these words, Nan Jun left without looking back.

Buried in the quilt, Lian Qing couldn’t help crying. He had put so much effort into it, and tormented himself, only to have her annoy him.

As Nan Jun passed Hongliu, who was guarding the door, she paused.

“Have you been serving Master Lian?”

“Yes.”

“What did Master Lian eat at lunch?”

Hongliu, unsure of how Lian Qing had been poisoned, told Nan Jun the whole story.

“Master Lian had a very good appetite today. He drank two pots of chrysanthemum tea and ate two plates of sesame dumplings in the morning, and ate a lot again at lunch.”

Nan Jun pondered the situation but didn’t notice anything amiss. After all, she could eat surprisingly large amounts sometimes.

Just as she was about to leave, Hongliu’s voice rang out from behind: “By the way, Master Lian specially ordered the kitchen to make crispy chicken today. He ate a whole chicken at lunch!”

The thought of what Lian Qing had eaten filled Hongliu with dread. He felt that Master Lian wasn’t poisoned, but rather bloated.

Lian Qing had been ordering Hong Liu to find out about Nan Jun’s whereabouts. Hong Liu only thought that Lian Qing had deliberately fallen ill while his master was away in order to find a way to get the Eighth Princess to come and see him.

No matter how Hong Liu thought about it, he could not imagine that Lian Qing was doing this to frame others!

“Chrysanthemum, sesame, chicken?”

Nan Jun murmured, and then suddenly realized something after thinking about it.

Lian Qing knows medicine, and this is clearly using the principle of food incompatibility to create the illusion of poisoning, so as to frame Qiao Yun!

But Qiao Yun is obviously his senior brother, why would he do this? Just to become the male owner of the Eighth Princess Mansion?

It seems that this man cannot be kept. After the guards sent to Liujia Village come back and find out the truth, they must solve the matter of Lian Qing as soon as possible.

“Serve him well, and don’t let him eat chicken with chrysanthemums and sesame seeds again.”

“Yes.”

Nan Jun rubbed her sore eyes and went straight back to her courtyard. An Feng, who had gone to the kitchen to inquire about the situation, was already waiting there.

An Feng’s answers were exactly the same as Hongliu’s, so Nan Jun didn’t ask any more questions. She was just worried that if Qiao Yun was not careful one day and fell into Lian Qing’s trap again, it would be troublesome.

An Yu, who had gone to Tingyuxuan, had not returned yet, so Nan Jun went to shower and change clothes. She felt that some things could not wait any longer. Although Qiao Yun was playful, she was deeply worried about his safety.

If they had recognized each other earlier, could they have avoided a lot of trouble? At the very least, Lian Qing would have thought twice before making a move on Qiao Yun, right?

Nan Jun leaned against the edge of the bathtub, a headache aching. She longed to dream of the fairy again. She wanted to ask the fairy, “Lian Qing is so vicious! She doesn’t want to keep him in the mansion anymore. Can he be relocated outside ?”

Meanwhile, An Yu had just arrived at Tingyu Pavilion when she ran into Shuang’er, the little boy who always treated her with a cold scowl.

“Why are you here?”

Shuang’er asked unhappily, sizing An Yu up and down.

“My… my master sent me to see Wang Jun…”

An Yu hesitated before being interrupted by Shuang’er.

“Hmph! If the Eighth Princess truly cared, she should have come to see my young master herself, instead of just sending you…”

Shuang’er’s resentment towards Nan Jun ran deep.

How the young master treated her, how did she treat him? Such a cruel heart!

No wonder the storybooks say women are all heartless; it was true.

After glaring fiercely at An Yu, Shuang’er turned and left, his face filled with dissatisfaction and anger.

An Yu rubbed her nose awkwardly. What did her master’s actions have to do with her? How could this child implicate such an innocent person?

Though she was somewhat afraid of Shuang’er’s occasional glares, the task assigned to her by her master had yet to be completed, so An Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the courtyard.

Qiao Yun was currently hunched over on a recliner in the courtyard, absorbed in a medical manual.

The setting sun’s halo cast a vibrant light on him. An Yu took one glance and couldn’t help but lament her master’s lack of taste.

The young master of the Qiao family was a man of both talent and beauty, a peerless beauty, known throughout the capital.

Yet, her master was so heartless, abandoning such a beautiful, almost exiled woman to the backyard without a care or concern. Truly blind.

If Nan Jun knew how her subordinates treated her, she would be furious.

“What’s the matter?”

Qiao Yun asked without even looking up. He had clearly heard An Yu’s conversation with Shuang’er at the doorway.

“I pay my respects to Wang Jun. Young Master Lian has been poisoned and is unconscious. The master is worried about Wang Jun and has sent me to see him.”

Upon hearing Lian Qing’s poisoning, Qiao Yun’s grip on the scroll tightened, a fierce glint in his eyes.

“Any information on the cause of the poisoning?”

Qiao Yun feigned composure, but his heart was swirling with anxiety, and he longed to get to Lian Qing’s courtyard and pull Nan Jun out.

“I don’t know. The imperial physician has prescribed medicine, and the master is investigating.”

Qiao Yun’s expressionless face suddenly turned cold. Lian Qing was truly ruthless. To get close to Nan Jun , he would resort to such a foolish scheme.

“I’m fine here. Thank the Princess for her concern.”

Qiao Yun’s eyes remained fixed on the book in his hands, but he couldn’t bear to read a single word.

Nan Jun had gone to see Lian Qing. If Lian Qing had used a trick to keep her, what would happen between them…

Qiao Yun didn’t dare to think about it anymore. As the sky darkened, Qiao Yun’s worry grew.

He simply closed the book and went straight into the inner room.

Seeing that Qiao Yun didn’t look like he was in trouble, An Yu didn’t dare to ask him what he had for lunch. Shuang’er beside him also had a proud and spoiled look. An Yu opened her mouth and closed it again.

Since Wang Jun said that he was fine, he probably didn’t eat anything he shouldn’t have eaten at noon.

An Yu clasped her fists towards Qiao Yun’s door, then turned and left.

Shuang’er pouted and looked at the woman’s back as she left. He stamped his feet in anger, looking like he was very disappointed in her.

“Master, what do you want to eat tonight? I’ll go to the kitchen and tell him…”

Seeing that his master looked unhappy, Shuang’er hurriedly followed him in and asked.

Qiao Yun waved his hand at Shuang’er. He didn’t have an appetite to eat or drink now. He just wanted it to get dark quickly so that he could sneak into Nan Jun’s yard to take a look.
