TBTAMN Chapter 133

The Boss Transmigrated Into A Matriarchy Novel (Quick Transmigration ARC 4) Chapter 133(4)

Qiao Yun looked reluctantly at the woman who had saved him from danger and taken him home. His red lips parted slightly, and he murmured, “Sister, you saved my life. Why don’t you come home with me? Mother will definitely thank you properly, and you won’t have to work so hard in the future…”

“Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Qiao. However, my rescue of you was purely coincidental and there is no need for repayment. Moreover, my ambitions lie elsewhere. Please do not mention this matter to anyone. Young Master Qiao, please go back quickly. I will watch over you here until you enter the mansion.”

Qiao Yun walked forward in small steps, turning back every few steps, when Nan Jun suddenly said coldly, “Listen to me, walk forward and don’t look back. Just pretend you never left the Qiao residence last night.”

If the news of Qiao Yun’s absence overnight gets out, it will give those who harmed him their wish, and how will he ever be able to maintain his standing in the capital again?

The Qiao family wasn’t stupid either; they would search for their lost son in secret, but they would never dare to make a big fuss about it.

With the new emperor’s ascension to the throne, various factions in the court were eager to make their moves.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yun was also drawn into the fray. It seems that Qiao Qingquan underestimated her opponents, which almost led to the death of her son.

Qiao Yun paused, about to turn around, but then stopped again, remembering Nan Jun’s words, and asked softly, “Will Yun’er be able to see her sister again in the future?”

The person behind him remained silent for a long time. Just when Qiao Yun thought she wouldn’t answer, he heard her say, “We’ll meet again if fate allows.”

Qiao Yun didn’t know whether she meant they could see each other again or not, but she obediently didn’t turn back.

The little boy, with red eyes, knocked on the gate of the Qiao residence. When the gatekeeper saw that it was his young master returning, he hurriedly opened the gate, and another person ran inside to report the news.

As he stepped across the threshold, he couldn’t help but turn back to look, but there was no sign of that person at the corner. Apart from a few blades of grass stubbornly swaying in the corner, there was nothing else.

Qiao Yun’s fair fingers gripped the door frame tightly, and his nose tingled; he suddenly felt wronged.

He hadn’t even properly said goodbye to her or thanked her properly, so why did she leave?

Qiao Qingquan ran out of the mansion with red eyes, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her son standing unharmed at the gate.

“Yun’er, my son…”

“Mother…”

Qiao Yun ran and rushed into Qiao Qingquan’s arms. All the grievances and resentment welled up in his heart and turned into tears, wetting Qiao Qingquan’s shoulder.

“It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back. Go and tell Miss to bring back all the people who were searching for the young master. This matter must not be spread.”

After giving her instructions, Qiao Qingquan took Qiao Yun’s hand and walked towards the backyard.

Upon receiving the news, Li rushed out as well, but he was no match for Qiao Qingquan. By the time he arrived, Qiao Qingquan had already led Qiao Yun through the side gate.

“Yun’er…”

“Father…”

Li seemed even more excited than Qiao Yun, holding her son tightly and refusing to let go.

“Let’s go back inside and talk about it first!”

Qiao Qingquan gently patted Li’s arm before the family of three entered the courtyard.

“What exactly happened yesterday? You scared your father to death!”

With red eyes, Master Li held Qiao Yun’s hand tightly and asked, “Yesterday, we waited until dark but Qiao Yun didn’t return to the manor. So Qiao Qingquan sent people to look for him, but they only found the carriage and the murdered woman. Qiao Yun was nowhere to be found.”

This terrified the family. Qiao Xu led a search party overnight, but they still haven’t returned home.

Qiao Qingquan kept comforting her husband. Although there was no news, it at least meant that their son might not be dead. If those people killed Qiao Yun like they killed Che Fu, what could they do?

To their surprise, their son, who had been missing all night, found himself back the next morning. How could they not be overjoyed?

Qiao Yun recounted to his mother and father in detail how he was kidnapped while waiting for the mansion’s carriage at the academy gate and how he was rescued by a kind person. However, he deliberately concealed the story of the little beggar who had protected him all night, saying only that she was a young woman.

Nan Jun forbade him to mention to others that she had saved him, and he naturally did not want his family to disturb him.

“My son is so lucky! Where do those benefactors live? We should prepare some gifts and go to express our gratitude.”

Li was so happy that he forgot to wash and prepare food for his son first, and just pulled Qiao Qingquan to go to his benefactor’s house.

“No…no need.” Qiao Yun shook her head, her eyes filled with disappointment, and said, “She said she didn’t expect anything in return, and told me not to let anyone know what happened last night…”

Qiao Qingquan’s tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and she nodded knowingly: “This person is righteous and meticulous. She is probably doing this for Yun’er’s reputation.”

Qiao Yun’s words made Qiao Qingquan feel even more favorably toward her son’s savior. In this world, so many people are eager to curry favor with the Qiao family, yet that person is so aloof and doesn’t care about power or money at all.

“If we have the chance to meet again in the future, we’ll thank her properly then.”

Master Li nodded with emotion, then remembered that he needed to take his son to change his clothes. He then instructed the servants to prepare breakfast. Seeing Qiao Yun’s disheveled appearance, Master Li felt a pang of heartache again.

Upon hearing that her younger brother had returned home safely, Qiao Xu hurriedly rushed back with swollen, red eyes. She hadn’t slept a wink all night in her search for Qiao Yun, practically turning over every brothel in the capital.

“Yun’er…”

Qiao Xu was in no better shape than Qiao Yun, but the first thing she did upon returning to the mansion was to go see her younger brother.

“Elder sister.”

“It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back! You scared your sister to death!”

Qiao Xu checked Qiao Yun over and, seeing that he had no injuries, hugged the little boy tightly in her arms.

“You’ve been working hard all night. Go wash up and have something to eat first. We can talk about other things later.”

Master Li tidied his daughter’s hair on the side of her face and said with heartache.

After Qiao Qingquan recounted Qiao Yun’s abduction, the chopsticks in Qiao Xu’s hand broke in two.

“Mother, in my opinion, this matter is definitely related to that old man Zuo Zhongyou!”

Qiao Xu glared fiercely, her beautiful face filled with ruthlessness, as if she wanted to devour someone.

“Zuo Zhongyou? How despicable!”

Qiao Qingquan tightened her grip on the teacup; this old hag was also her first suspect.

If it were any other enemy, they would have taken Qiao Yun’s life directly. Only someone like Zuo Zhongyou is most skilled at such despicable methods that make people wish they were dead.

Instead of killing Qiao Yun, they wanted to ruin his reputation.

It seems that those drunkards were probably acting under orders to wait there; otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

“I will go and send her son to the Drunken Red Mansion, so that she can also experience the feeling of sleepless nights and fear.”

Qiao Xu was about to get up when Qiao Qingquan stopped him.

“Nonsense! How could our Qiao family be so shameless as to use a man’s reputation for such a purpose?”
