TBTAMN Chapter 135

The Boss Transmigrated Into A Matriarchy Novel (Quick Transmigration ARC 4) Chapter 135(6)

No matter what those power-hungry people in high positions thought, they could never have imagined that the regent would make her own daughter dress up as a beggar. Those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths could only utter ignorant words like “Why don’t they eat meat porridge?”

The situation in the court is on the verge of exploding, and the young masters and ladies in the inner quarters are also causing trouble.

As soon as Qiao Yun entered the academy, many eyes stared at him, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

“What’s going on? Why is everyone looking at me like that?”

Qiao Yun took his friend Du Shujing’s hand and asked, puzzled.

Du Shujing stared at Qiao Yun for a moment before pulling him into the study.

“Yun’er, your classmates are all saying… saying you’ve been kidnapped by bad guys. I thought you wouldn’t be able to come today!”

Du Shujing leaned close to Qiao Yun’s ear and whispered.

Qiao Yun was secretly alarmed. He wondered how they knew about his robbery yesterday, which had not been told to anyone else.

That makes sense, since the only people who would know about this besides the Qiao family are those who secretly harmed him.

“Where did you hear that from?”

Qiao Yun, eager to find out who was behind it all, nervously grabbed Du Shujing’s hand.

Du Shujing was also exceptionally intelligent. Seeing Qiao Yun’s solemn expression, he immediately understood the intricacies of the situation. He moved closer to Qiao Yun, looked around, and then whispered cautiously, “Zuo Cheng.”

Fortunately, Du Shujing arrived early today. After setting out the books, he lay down on the table and pretended to doze off. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have discovered Zuo Cheng’s trickery.

Just as my mother and sister had predicted.

Qiao Yun’s eyes darkened, and his hand on the table slowly clenched, wishing he could slap Zuo Cheng twice right now.

“Fortunately, you’re alright. It’s a shame that Zuo Cheng has contradicted himself and was waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. Now, the whole academy probably knows that he’s been slandering you.”

Seeing Zuo Cheng’s ashen face as he walked in, Du Shujing curled his lips into a gloating expression.

Qiao Yun snorted coldly, turned his face away, and pretended not to see him.

Zuo Cheng glanced at Qiao Yun from the doorway, then sat back down in his seat with a dark expression. Qiao Yun had made him lose face today, and he would make him pay in the future.

Zuo Cheng was also blamed for his lack of common sense. Yesterday afternoon, he overheard his mother and sister plotting to kidnap Qiao Yun and deal with Qiao Qingquan. He felt relieved and happily told his close classmates about it early this morning. Who knew that Qiao Yun would return unharmed?

“You’re so useless!”

Zuo Cheng slammed the book on the table angrily, cursing at his mother and sister, or perhaps the people he had sent out on errands.

But there are always troublemakers in this world. A few men came in with smiles, glanced at Zuo Cheng, and then sat down opposite Qiao Yun.

“I heard that Young Master Qiao was kidnapped last night?”

Qiao Yun laughed instead of getting angry, and did not respond.

He disdained to pay attention to these people who were always looking for trouble. Besides, he felt from the bottom of his heart that last night’s kidnapping was not a bad thing. At least he got to know her, didn’t he?

Seeing Qiao Yun’s disdainful attitude, the boys were furious.

Isn’t he just arrogant because he comes from a good family and is good-looking? He might have already lost his innocence by now, so what’s he still being so proud of?

“Where did you all hear this nonsense? Yun’er is sitting right here, why are you asking such irrelevant questions?”

Du Shujing, who was usually taciturn, couldn’t help but speak up for Qiao Yun at this moment.

“What’s it to you?”

Before the boy could finish speaking, the teacher’s stern voice came from behind him.

“You men are not behaving like men at all. Do you think your family background is good enough to support you for life? Or do you want to marry into a family less capable than yours and spend the rest of your lives with a woman?”

The Master was a strict teacher who always paid great attention to the virtues of men and could not stand his students shouting.

“The students dare not…”

Everyone stood up and bowed.

The teacher glanced at Qiao Yun, who was bowing obediently, with his deep eyes before telling them to sit down.

Qiao Yun was usually very well-behaved and sensible, and his teacher respected his mother very much, so he was quite fond of him.

“You are all approaching the age of marriage, and your families naturally hope that you gentlemen can find good wives.”

However, if some people still lack self-discipline and are morally deficient, how could the young ladies of those women’s academies be willing to marry such men?

No matter how good your family background is, can it be better than the families of kings and nobles?

As we all know, Her Majesty has reached the age to choose a successor, and Her Highness the Regent issued an edict in the spring, instructing us to properly instruct you.

The meaning of this is surely clear to all of you gentlemen better than anyone else. Please take good care of yourselves during these last six months at the academy.

The teachers at the Royal Academy wouldn’t give anyone any face. After all, even princes of past dynasties had studied here. The ancestors decreed that teachers should be respected and education should be valued, and everyone should be treated equally, let alone the sons of these officials.

“Yes……”

Everyone responded in unison. Zuo Cheng couldn’t help but steal a glance at the Master. Perhaps it was because he felt guilty, but he had a feeling that the Master’s words were meant for him.

Du Shujing bit his red lips and smiled shyly. Last night, his family went to his uncle’s house for dinner. His aunt intended for him to enter the palace to accompany the emperor. His mother and father also agreed, and he did not object.

Du Shujing’s maternal aunt is none other than the powerful Regent Prince Nan Yi. In fact, Nan Jun is Du Shujing’s cousin. However, he only met his cousin a few times when he was young. Later, he heard that his cousin had left home to study under a master, and he never saw her again when he went to the Regent Prince’s Palace.

Qiao Yun pondered the teacher’s words carefully. He had no intention of entering the palace to serve the emperor or marrying a young lady. If he did not like that person, what did it matter if it was the emperor?

Thinking of the person who saved him last night, Qiao Yun couldn’t help but smile. If she wanted, what was wrong with taking in a wife?

For three consecutive days, Qiao Yun was accompanied by guards from the manor to and from school, to the point that Qiao Yun himself felt a little uncomfortable. The teachers disliked students who were arrogant and extravagant, and even the noble families of several princesses did not have such a grand procession as him.

After Qiao Yun resorted to a combination of whining and pleading, Qiao Qingquan finally withdrew the overt guards and sent two of her personal bodyguards to secretly protect Qiao Yun.

“Father, the teacher said we will have a day off tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow the carriage from the manor will take us directly to Qingshan outside the city. Please remember to prepare more pastries for Yun’er.”

As soon as Qiao Yun returned to the mansion, he hugged Li Shi’s arm and said coquettishly that he used to dislike going to appreciate the autumn scenery the most, as it was tiring and boring. But today was different. He was overjoyed and couldn’t wait to go.

Qiao Yun secretly wondered if he would have a chance to run into her if he went outside the city.
