TBTAMN Chapter 137

The Boss Transmigrated Into A Matriarchy Novel (Quick Transmigration ARC 4) Chapter 137(8)

“Shujing, I’m sure she’s not a beggar. She’s highly skilled in martial arts, well-read, and stunningly beautiful. She’s definitely not an ordinary person.”

Although the person’s face was dirty, it couldn’t hide her radiance.

Qiao Yun had seen all kinds of women. His own sister was exceptionally beautiful, and Du Shujing’s sisters were also among the best in the capital, but compared to that person, they all seemed somewhat inferior!

“Yun’er, she hasn’t even told you her full name, so how can you be sure of her identity? Even if she’s not a beggar and has another identity, she’s someone we’ve never even heard of. How high can her status be? And how could she be worthy of you?”

Du Shujing discovered that Qiao Yun seemed to be poisoned, and quite severely so.

“Shujing, you have no idea how wonderful she is. She is the best woman I have ever met in this world…”

Qiao Yun thought that even his loving mother, father, and sister would scold him for his occasional mischief, but the doting look in their eyes and the respect in their actions made Qiao Yun feel that they were upright and thoughtful people.

“How many women have you actually met in total?”

Du Shujing couldn’t help but worry about Qiao Yun. Had he already given his heart to the wrong person?

“Shujing, she…”

Qiao Yun was about to speak when Du Shujing stopped her.

“Yun’er, forget about her! Kindness is kindness, and feelings are feelings. Even if she isn’t a beggar, what kind of status would make a woman willingly lower herself to be a beggar? Such a person’s life is destined to be unstable. How can you knowingly jump into a pit of fire?”

“Shujing, she’s really good…”

Qiao Yun remained stubborn, completely ignoring the frustration in Du Shujing’s eyes.

“Yun’er…”

Du Shujing knew Qiao Yun’s personality very well; once the child made up his mind about something, not even ten oxen could pull him back.

“Shujing, she forbade me to mention this to anyone. I haven’t even told my mother and father. But I don’t want to lie to you. Ever since she saved me, I often think of her. The feeling is so familiar, as if we’ve known each other for a long time.”

Looking at the longing and shyness on Qiao Yun’s face, Du Shujing felt both worried and helpless, and didn’t know how to comfort him. Perhaps, after some time, he would forget about it!

“But as men, what right do we have to choose our own love?”

Who wouldn’t want to stroll slowly with the woman they love, under a gentle breeze? But such is life, and they have no choice in the matter.

Qiao Yun pursed her lips and looked at Du Shujing, asking, “Shujing, don’t you want to enter the palace?”

Du Shujing gave a bitter smile and said, “What can I do whether I want to or not? I’ve only seen the Emperor a few times from afar. She probably doesn’t even know what I look like, and I don’t know what she looks like either. Entering the palace is like entering a deep sea. Yun’er, although I have longed for life in the harem, I am more afraid than anything else.”

“You have been intelligent and virtuous since childhood, and you are kind and generous. In addition, with the relationship between Lord Du and Her Highness the Regent, even if you enter the palace, no one will dare to bully you. Many men would envy that!”

Although Qiao Yun didn’t understand the survival of the imperial harem, she was born into an official family, and how many people didn’t know about those dirty affairs?

“Ke Yun’er, aren’t you envious?!”

Du Shujing chuckled to himself, thinking that if Prime Minister Qiao knew that Qiao Yun had fallen for a beggar, she would probably be worried too!

Qiao Yun smiled and did not deny it.

Nine horses painted on the mountain, their fates intertwined; a lifetime spent with you, I envy no immortality.

He was neither as attached to wealth and glory as other men, nor as concerned about fame and fortune as women. All he wanted was someone who could catch his eye and touch his heart.

Perhaps it was a blessing from heaven, but on their way back, the Master led them by another route, which happened to pass by the dilapidated temple.

Qiao Yun felt both nervous and excited. Du Shujing glanced at him but didn’t say anything more.

The carriages from the Du and Qiao families set off one after the other. Suddenly, they heard the sound of fighting outside. Du Shujing hurriedly ordered his servants to close the carriage windows and doors tightly, not daring to show their heads.

Qiao Yun, however, was preoccupied with the thought of seeing the person she longed for at the entrance of the dilapidated temple. The window remained open until the bandits and guards began fighting, at which point Qiao Yun turned pale with fright.

“Young master, quickly close the carriage window.”

The sound of a signal flare being fired came from outside. A Liang rushed over and slammed the car door shut, then went to pull open the window next to Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun was worried that this incident was aimed at him again, so he quickly shrank back and hid to the side, letting A Liang do his work.

The image of the three drunken women trying to harass him that night flashed before Qiao Yun’s eyes again, and he quickly shook his head, not daring to think about it anymore.

The academy organizes such outings every year, but this year something unexpected happened, which has greatly frightened the teachers.

Those robbers were clearly after these young masters from wealthy families. If they succeeded, all the noble young masters in the capital would be doomed.

Nan Jun, who was returning to report, was leading the Dark Pavilion members to the dilapidated temple to retrieve the evidence they had previously collected and hidden when she heard a guard outside the door report in a low voice: “My lord, the young masters of the Royal Academy were enjoying the autumn scenery today when they seem to have been attacked.”

The secret guards were all the emperor’s men, and they were never allowed to reveal their identities unless there were special circumstances. However, this matter was of great importance, and the secret guards guarding outside the temple dared not fail to report it.

Nan Jun froze, then immediately hid the evidence back in the pit, quickly kicked the straw-covered soil over it, and led her men out of the dilapidated temple.

To avoid being seen today, everyone in the Dark Pavilion is dressed in black with their faces covered by black veils. Even if someone sees them, they will only think they are from some assassin organization and will not suspect the palace guards.

“These young masters are of great importance and must not be harmed. We have already made our appearance in the martial arts world, so we must not expose ourselves.”

Nan Jun was worried about Qiao Yun and dared not delay for a moment.

In the book, Qiao Yun was also attacked today, but the robbers were sent by “Nan Jun” with the aim of getting close to Qiao Yun again by using the method of a heroine rescuing a beauty, so as to gain the support of the Qiao family.

After all, that “Nan Jun” was quite ambitious. Relying on her mother’s status as the regent, who was second only to the emperor, she actually started to have ideas she shouldn’t have.

“Yes.”

As everyone flipped their hands, a waist tag engraved with the character “桃” (peach) was already hanging from their waists.

This is a common method used by the Dark Pavilion for ease of operation. Peach Blossom Manor is a martial arts sect, and this method is used to conceal their identities, so no matter how much those officials think about it, they would never guess that they are going to the palace.

Nan Jun spotted the carriage with the character “Qiao” on it at a glance. Just as the robbers used iron hooks to grab the carriage and cracked the carriage, Nan Jun lightly touched the ground with her toes and rushed over.

Qiao Yun heard a loud “boom” and was thrown out of the carriage, his body flying straight out, with A Liang’s exclamation in his ears.
