Chapter 456: Unsettled Home

better than my own mother. I really like them."qiao Baoer washed her hands, took a paper towel to dry them, and turned to see Xiao Zhu's loyal expression. She found it amusing and patted Xiao Zhu on t...Qiao Baoer is a 'frequent offender' when it comes to taking leave from the company. A few colleagues complained about it but then ignored her. Xiao Zhu, being cautious, still sent her a message asking what the reason was.

qiao Bao'er slept until noon at home, picked up her phone and opened WeChat. Seeing Xiao Zhu’s concerned tone, she blushed immediately.

"Because the moonlight was so beautiful last night," she replied, putting on a little act of faux-intellectualism.

Zhu XiaoWei is working diligently in the company, occasionally glancing down at her phone under the desk to reply, 【Qiao Bao'er, when did you become so poetic】

Looking at these characters, Zhu Xiaowei couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Last night with Junzhi Mu was too sweet, did you wake up this morning You young people, don't play so intensely, be moderate... Xiao Zhu is very humorous and added a suggestive emoji.

They are all young and strong, they got their marriage license, it's legal to sleep together, and it's normal if they accidentally go too far.

My [friend/boss] helped me quit my job.

As for this matter, Qiao Bao'er was a bit downcast. It wasn't that she didn't want to quit her job; at first, she only went to work to pass the time. What made her uncomfortable was the feeling of being tricked.

Xiao Zhu was a little surprised to hear this, {“Really Are you going to formally submit your resignation to Brother Lu at the company tomorrow”}

Suddenly, Qiao Baoer hesitated. If she didn't go to work, her grandfather wouldn't let her take care of her son all day. As for the charity gala chairman mentioned by those rich women last night, she was even less interested. Then in this life, she could only be a vassal to Jun Zhimu.

Zhu Xiaowei knew her troubles and comforted her, saying, {“Even if you resign, you have to drag on for a month to hand over the work. We can calculate it later.”}

Qiao Bao'er couldn't help but sigh, Xiao Zhu was truly her 'thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket', always thinking of her.

If Pei Haoran dares to bully Xiao Zhu in the future, she will never let him off.

If Qiao Baier didn't go to work and stayed home, she was bound to run into some unpleasant people, such as Jun San Gu.

Jo Bao'er went to the koi pond to feed the fish. All the way from the distant Zhu Lin Bei Yuan, her sharp voice carried on the wind, truly ruining the scenery.

Jun San Gu's temper was very fiery, and the servants in Jun's family all bowed their heads when they saw her. Qiao Bao'er thought, "She's going through menopause, she scolds anyone she catches."

"What are you mumbling about over there!" Her aunt, with a fierce expression and strutting towards her, spoke in a commanding tone.

"...going out to work for a living, shaming our Jun family."

Aunt San was scolded by the master at Beiyuan and transferred her anger onto Qiao Bao'er, scolding her relentlessly.

"Is our family still short of money When you're out there, don't mix around with those low-class colleagues and spread gossip. There are many things about our family that shouldn't be talked about outside... If you have the ability, learn how to organize charity events, like my daughter and my daughter-in-law, at least they can bring some good reputation to the family."

"...you've been wasting your life, you've really made our family raise you for nothing. You're like a useless good-for-nothing who eats and lives off us for free. You haven't been useful at all since we married you."

Jo Bao'er was always accompanied by a young maid named Xiaoqing, who constantly reminded her to eat and take medicine.

"Our young mistress isn't that bad, Third Miss, please don't speak so harshly!" Spending time with a master for too long inevitably picks up some of their temperament. Being protective is only natural.

Auntie Three glared fiercely at the young maid, snarling, "When did it become your place to speak, you wretched thing!"

As a precaution, Qiao Bao'er pulled the maid behind her and stepped forward. "Third Aunt, you just don't like me. There's no need to argue with the servants."

"Now I have to control your household servants too, Qiao Bao'er. Do you really think you are something"

Aunt San, acting very aggressively, seemed bored with her life and wanted to have a big fight with Qiao Bao'er. She planned to make a scene out of it and then criticize her for being unfilial later on.

Jo Baoer endured it, this dead old hag.

"What! Respecting the elderly!" Auntie San's anger flared even hotter, she hated it most when people mentioned the word "old".

Qiao Bao'er took a step back.

Seeing her with such a ferocious expression, I'll add, "I think you look ugly like this."

Aunt San choked on her words, anger surged through her chest, and she glared at her with hatred.

Ugly.

Dare to say I'm ugly.

Qiao Bao'er took her maid and quickly left.

Two young men ran, and the three old women behind them gasped for breath and grumbled...

The maid, Xiaoqing, was a little worried. "Madam, perhaps I should go and apologize to Miss Jun San…" That Miss Jun San was old enough to be her mother, yet she still had that rebellious princess temper. Anyone who dared cross her would suffer the consequences.

"You're stupid, she kicked you several times last time, and you still want to go back and let her kick you again…"

Qiao Baoer finally ran back to her own territory. The Jun family's courtyard was very clearly laid out, and at least the Eastern Courtyard was under her control.

If she wasn't afraid of making a big scene like last time and getting scolded by grandpa for being out of line, she wouldn't have run away.

"Aunt Fang dispatched three or five strong men to stand guard at the entrance of Dongyuan, watching Jun's aunt desperately try to get through. They wouldn't let her pass under any circumstances. Tomorrow I'll hire a few Tibetan Mastiffs to keep watch..."

"Missus, this isn't a time for jokes," Xiaoqing, the maid who had been by Qiao Baoer's side for almost a year, truly admired her mistress's temperament, but...

"The old man was already very displeased with you last time. Miss Jun San has always been the favorite of the old man. If Miss San goes to complain, there will be even worse impressions."

In wealthy families, the center of power lies with the patriarch. Whoever gains his favor will have an easier life. Moreover, since daughters-in-law are ultimately marrying into the family, they can never truly compare to blood relatives.

Jo Baoer thought about this and also felt very impatient, there were too many relatives, and there were too many worries.

In the end, she didn't want to bother with these things anymore. She scoffed and said, “What are you afraid of I'm just telling the truth. She's ugly anyway.”

The maid behind her, Xiaoqing, giggled quietly.

To Qiao Bao'er's utter surprise, the third aunt actually resorted to playing the victim.

At dinner time, Junzhi Mu was away on business.

As usual, there weren't many masters in the Jun family and they sat together on time waiting for the dishes to be served.

Aunt San arrived late tonight, limping into the main dining hall. When Old Master Jun saw how she was walking, he immediately exclaimed, "Walk properly! Have some decorum!"

Aunt Three's acting skills exploded, she seemed to have suffered some terrible grievance, and she burst into tears on the ground. She cried for several minutes straight.

Qiao Baoer was dumbfounded.

The commoners immediately rushed forward to help her up, and Jiang Meili hurried over to persuade her not to cry. Even the old man was stunned on the spot.

"What's going on!"

"Dad, I think I'll pack up and go home tonight. Staying any longer, I'm afraid I'd be the one to send you off."

"What utter nonsense!" the old man exclaimed angrily, "Stand up straight and speak properly!"

"My foot is sprained and disabled, how can I stand up" Aunt San cried out in distress again.

Jo Bao'er saw that her expression and the injury on her foot didn't seem like an act. The old steward immediately notified the doctor, who arrived quickly and diagnosed her with a creative fracture of her left ankle.

"The doctor from your family frowned and urged, 'Fractures caused by heavy objects or violence require immediate hospitalization for X-rays to determine the extent of the injury. Since it involves bones and Miss Jun San's age, she needs careful attention for the next few years. She mustn't expose herself to cold water, and her walking must be slow and cautious..."

"I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live anymore—" Auntie San sat on the sofa, crying hysterically.

Master Jun knew that his daughter had a bad temper, but he never expected such a serious incident to happen at home. With a stern face, he ordered the old butler, "Go arrange the car, we're going to the hospital now."

"I'm not going."

"I'd rather die here at the Jun family! " My aunt cried while pounding the sofa, "Anyway, someone doesn't want me to live. Why should I go to the hospital This old woman of mine is both old and ugly. There's no meaning in living…"

qiao Bao'er stood aside, her expression instantly becoming wary, knowing that these words were directed at her.

"Auntie Three, I just argued with you for a few words this afternoon. You don't have to worry so much, do you This foot is yours. You really don't want to go to the hospital If you drag it on, it will get worse, and what if you have to have an amputation..."

Qiao Bao'er was quick-witted, she just wanted to scare her arrogant aunt and get her to the hospital quickly. Don't go crazy here.

To outsiders, this sounds harsh.o walked past her third aunt, she suddenly kicked her."Ah—"Her aunt, with one leg in a cast, was suddenly kicked hard in the other leg by Qiao Bao'er. She lost her balance and fell to the ground with...
