TBTAMN Chapter 123

The Boss Transmigrated Into A Matriarchy Novel (Quick Transmigration ARC 3) Chapter 123(38)

The crowd hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Qiao Yun, bowing deeply and saying, “We, your servants, greet Wang Jun. May Wang Jun be well.”

“Get up, all of you!”

Qiao Yun said expressionlessly, “The servants in the Eighth Princess’s mansion are indeed lacking in discipline. They are all opportunistic and truly do not respect their master, Nan Jun. Otherwise, they would not have dared to be so disrespectful to Qiao Yun before.”

“Thank you, Wang Jun.”

Everyone rose cautiously, a bad feeling creeping into their hearts.

“I cannot accept the word ‘thank you’ from some people.”

Qiao Yun’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

“We dare not.”

“Dare not? Heh… I see you dare quite a bit! My wife is unwell and has no heart to discipline you. Do you really think the dignified Eighth Princess is so easily fooled?”

Qiao Yun’s voice suddenly rose, startling even Nan Jun, who was sitting next to him.

But when she thought about how she had never properly managed the affairs of the manor since returning home, and considering that Qiao Yun had probably suffered a lot of grievances before, Nan Jun understood a bit more.

Beneath the wide sleeves, Nan Jun held Qiao Yun’s hand in her own and gently squeezed it.

“It was indeed my oversight that led to some disloyal servants in the manor. Considering the steward’s advanced age, I will not pursue this matter for the time being. However, I will not tolerate those who betray their masters.”

Nan Jun felt it was better for her to play the villain. If Qiao Yun was to manage the Princess’s Mansion in the future, he should leave behind a reputation for virtue.

“We dare not!”

The trembling crowd knelt down again. The Eighth Princess had never married, and people envied them, the servants in the Eighth Princess’s mansion, for not having to follow so many rules. As a result, they became complacent and forgot that a single word from their master could cost them their entire family their lives.

“Anfeng and Anyu.”

“Your subordinate is here.”

“Wang Jun was personally welcomed back to the manor by me with a grand ceremony and a sedan chair. From now on, he will be the master of the Eighth Princess’s manor. All matters, big and small, within the manor will be decided by Wang Jun. There is no need to inform me. You two and the steward will assist Wang Jun in familiarizing himself with the affairs of the manor.”

“Yes, Your subordinate obeys.”

Nan Jun turned her gaze to the few servants kneeling in the middle. These people were trembling on the ground, making it impossible not to take a second look.

“You lot… raise your heads.”

Nan Jun pointed at the servants and said coldly.

“Master, spare my life! Wang Jun, spare my life!”

Before Nan Jun could even ask a question, the timid servant was already crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to the two of them.

Even if she didn’t know why they were begging for mercy, Nan Jun could guess a thing or two. It was simply because they had made things difficult for Shuang’er before, and now they were scared!

“Those who commit insubordination shall be punished with twenty strokes of the cane and sold into slavery.”

Nan Jun didn’t want to listen to their explanations and simply dismissed them.

Today, since we need to establish Qiao Yun’s authority, we need to find a few people to take the fall, and they… just happened to run into the line of fire.

Hongliu, kneeling in the corner, trembled with fear, but managed to stay upright and not collapse to the ground.

He had once gone to the Prince’s courtyard with Lian Qing and even had a quarrel with the Prince’s personal servant. If the matter were investigated, his fate would probably not be much better than that of the servants.

Hiding in the shadows, Lian Qing covered his mouth with his pale face, too scared to make a sound. Nan Jun was about to establish Qiao Yun’s authority in the Princess’s mansion!

His long fingernails dug fiercely into his palms, and the hatred in Lian Qing’s eyes was very clear. Even a fool could see how bad his mood was at this moment.

Qiao Yun’s eyebrows curved slightly, clearly not expecting Nan Jun to use this method to tell everyone his place in her heart. Even the steward, who was always respected by Nan Jun, was kneeling on the ground and dared not raise his head, which was enough to show Nan Jun’s anger at this moment.

“I will only say this once today, so listen carefully. My beloved and I are mutually in love. My beloved is the only male master in this Eighth Princess’s Mansion. Those who harbor other thoughts, don’t blame me for not warning you today. In the future, if any foolish servant touches me, I will cut off his arm and throw him out of the mansion. If you cannot control your eyes, I will gouge them out for you; if you cannot control your heart, I will gouge it out for you!”

Nan Jun’s words undoubtedly shocked everyone, including Qiao Yun sitting next to her.

Qiao Yun knew she had feelings for him, but he never imagined that his jealousy would lead her to such lengths for him.

It would be a lie to say he wasn’t moved. Qiao Yun’s eyes, which had been filled with spring-like warmth, instantly turned red. All that he had persisted in throughout his life had finally been worth it at this moment!

“We will keep this in mind.”

“I hereby swear that I will marry only Qiao Yun for the rest of my life, and will not take concubines or servants. I will love him for life and protect him for eternity.”

Nan Jun nhad said these words to Qiao Yun in bed before, and now she said them again in front of everyone, which moved Qiao Yun to tears, and he couldn’t control himself.

“Wishing the Princess a long and happy marriage.”

An Yu reacted the fastest, immediately kneeling down to congratulate her.

Everyone joined in, shouting, “We wish the Princess a long and happy marriage!”

Shuang’er had read many stories of love that transcended trials and tribulations, but today, witnessing firsthand the Eighth Princess’s protection of his young master, he finally understood his young master’s perseverance over the years.

The young master was fortunate to have met a good man, as he had not misplaced his affections.

“Eternal love? A hundred years of happiness? Heh… Qiao Yun, since you want to seize my throne, let’s see if you have the life to enjoy it!”

Lian Qing turned and left, his face full of hatred. He really didn’t want to see the two of them so inseparable anymore; it was an eyesore.

Nan Jun had already slapped these people in the face, so Qiao Yun naturally couldn’t let it go. The task of giving them a treat fell to him.

“Rise, all of you! I have no gifts to give you since I have married into the Eighth Princess’s household, so let’s double everyone’s monthly allowance!”

“Thank you, Wang Jun.”

“From now on, just do your job well. The princess and I will not treat you badly. As long as you abide by the rules of the manor, know what you should and should not do, and do not betray your own people, everything will be the same as before.”

“Yes, we will remember Wang Jun’s teachings.”

“Shuang’er, you and An Yu will go and scatter the seeds of the thorny epiphyllum that I brought from the Qiao residence in this corner of the courtyard. In the future, if anyone doesn’t learn their lesson, they can kneel on the thorny epiphyllum themselves!”

“Yes.”

Shuang’er nodded obediently in agreement.

The seeds of the thorny epiphyllum were brought back by the young master from the mountains.

They are very easy to grow when planted in the soil. The green stems that grow are covered with small thorns. If you accidentally prick your hand, it will hurt and itch, and the discomfort will last for a long time. It is the most torturous thing.

“Is Wang Jun tired?”

Nan Jun squeezed Qiao Yun’s hand tenderly. She was indeed less experienced than Qiao Yun in managing these servants.
