Murong Yan put the flower accessory on her forehead, and examined it closely, he then straightened it up with satisfaction, but soon he noticed that Yu Qingjia was simply sitting in front of the dressing table for a long time without moving, and thought that she could not stand up because of her leg injury, so he frowned and asked,
“What’s wrong, does your leg still hurt?”
Yu Qingjia came back to her senses and immediately shook her head,
“No.”
She was afraid that Murong Yan would do something too intimate again, so she hurriedly stood up from the couch.
It’s already broad daylight, and Yin Zhu and the others are already outside.
If Murong Yan picks her up again, then she will really have no face to show anyone.
Although Yin Zhu and the others think that Murong Yan is still a beautiful girl, Yu Qingjia knows he is not.
Last night was just an exception, because it was a matter of urgency.
However, how can she not avoid suspicion like this on a regular basis?
Yin Zhu set up the breakfast on the table and came out. She then saw Yu Qingjia and Murong Yan walking side by side.
She looked at the light of the day, then stared at Yu Qingjia and Murong Yan, whose silhouettes seemed to have mellowed down a little, it seemed real and illusionary, making them look like a pair of fairy and demon.
Yin Zhu couldn’t help but click her tongue. She suddenly became extremely curious about Yu Wenjun, the master of the house whom she had never met before.
‘What kind of ability does he have?’
‘How could he gather such two beauties in one family at the same time?’
She thinks that beautiful people should also be with beautiful people, so when she saw the two of them walk together, even a person like her who is illiterate and had never read books felt really pleasant.
Although Yu Qingjia had returned to her ancestral home now, and the whole place is full of the members of the Yu family, her life is still the same as when she was in Qingzhou.
The only difference is probably that Yu Wenjun hadn’t come back yet, and her half-sister and half-mother Bai Zhi, who she was used to having by her side since she was a child, was not there.
The nominal elder of the second household, her grandmother, was always staying in the Buddhist hall all day long, Yu Qingjia thought that she would only delay her grandmother’s practice, if she paid her respect, so she barely go there.
This is why during this period of time, only she and Murong Yan had their meals together every day, and the second household couldn’t be quieter for the whole day afterwards.
However, today’s breakfast was not as quiet as it used to be.
Yin Zhu had a stomach full of gossip, and she wanted to share everything she knew to Yu Qingjia.
Yu Qingjia saw that she was holding back too much, so when she finally put down her chopsticks to wipe her fingers, she asked her,
“What do you want to say? I feel bad just watching you looking like that.”
Yin Zhu smiled shyly, then came over and knitted her eyebrows while looking at Yu Qingjia,
“Miss, do you know what happened last night?”
“Yes, Prince Yingchuan hosted a banquet last night, didn’t you go with me?”
“No! Not that.”
Yin Zhu squinted her eyes, with her eyebrows almost flying upward,
“It’s about the fourth young Miss. I heard that she came back with a fever last night, and she still hasn’t woken up yet. The first madam cried all night, even Yu Laojun was alarmed. Yu Laojun was so furious when she learned about what happened, this is why she ordered a few maids to beat Hong Luan and the others with a board. They were also punished to kneel and reflect in front of the fourth miss’ courtyard, and they all knelt there all night.”
In this chaotic world, human life is like a floating duckweed.
It is obviously Yu Qingya’s fault that whatever her trick was took a toll on her body, but Madam Li and Yu Laojun simply did not care.
‘Since their young miss is sick, then what else could it be if it wasn’t because her maidservant didn’t serve her well?’
Even the first rank maids around Yu Qingya, who was usually elegant, decent, and are comparable to half a young lady, would suffer once things turn bad.
They will definitely be at the receiving end of their master’s anger.
Of course this is the matter of the first household, and Yu Qingjia does not care much, but Yin Zhu still wanted to vent.
She used to be oppressed by those overbearing maids in the first household for a long time, and even Yin Bei desperately wanted to support Yu Qingya.
However, Yu Qingya was so arrogant that she even challenged her sixth young miss last night.
It’s better now, even though her own young miss didn’t say anything, but she still managed to fiercely retaliate against Yu Qingya with a huge slap on the face.
Yu Qingya was so angry to the point of getting sick.
Since she was sick, then the people below her will have to suffer as well, now the first household was covered with a gloomy cloud, but the sixth young miss became famous in Yanzhou over a single battle of fame.
Yinzhu thought gloatingly, some people can really be crazy, if the fourth young miss was a bit level-headed last night, and didn’t deliberately provoke the sixth young miss, then no one would probably find fault with her, she could even gain the reputation of a genius!
She can’t really blame anyone for the outcome, because obviously she was the one seeking to ruin herself.
The corners of Yin Zhu’s eyes and eyebrows were very smug, while Murong Yan casually lowered his head and wiped his fingers, a smile seemed to be creeping out of his lips.
Yu Qingjia glanced at Murong Yan, then turned back to glare at Yin Zhu,
“You have to restrain yourself. My Fourth sister is sick and you look happy. If Yu Laojun or my Aunt hears about it, I’m afraid you won’t end up better than Hongluan or the other maidservants of the first household. You’d probably end up worse, so don’t say such things again in the future.”
Yinzhu suddenly snapped in attention, and quickly hung her head to beg Yu Qingjia for mercy.
Yu Qingjia didn’t just remind her not to get carried away with complacency, since she saw that Yin Zhu had realized the seriousness of the matter, she coldly admonished her a few times, and sent her off.
Yin Zhu knew that Yu Qingjia’s reminder was for her own good, so she broke out in cold sweats, bowed her head in shame and went out.
She knew that Yu Qingjia did not mention it, but since Hongluan and the other maids were punished for kneeling, what about Yin Bei, who took the blame for Yu Qingya?
After Yin Zhu left, Yu Qingjia rubbed her head, suddenly feeling like she might get a headache,
“It’s good that she’s honest and Frank, but she’s also too reckless.”
It was rare but Murong Yan still agreed with Yu Qingjia’s words.
His eyes moved slightly, swept the whole courtyard, and said,
“You only have two maid servants to serve you. It’s already too little, but now one is gone. You should get more servants.”
“I would like to.”
Yu Qingjia gave Murong Yan an amused look and shook her head,
“But the chances of getting a smart servant out of a hundred is pretty low, and even if there are, they are all well-trained by the head mother to keep for the main household to use, how can they fall to me? If I buy one from outside, how can I make sure that I get the right ones with good character and brains?”
Murong Yan only smiled lightly and did not say anything.
Yu Qingjia suddenly thought of the Bai Zhi, Bai Lian and Yu Wenjun who was recovering from his injuries in Changping County, and sighed quietly,
“I don’t know how my father is doing, it’s been almost two months, I wonder if he has finally recovered from his injuries? Is his injury serious?”
Murong Yan casually answered,
“Not serious, he can stand up without crutches already.”
“Huh?”
Yu Qingjia looked back at him, with her eyes wide open,
“How did you know that?”
Murong Yan said in a very frank manner, “Didn’t you ask?”
Yu Qingjia realized what he meant, so she helplessly and angrily glared at him,
“I’m not joking, I’m really worried about my father’s injury.”
She stared out the window and at the already depressed scene and sighed,
“It was only September when we left Qingzhou, but now it’s almost winter.”
The climate is already changing, the west wind is blowing all day long, and the whole Yu Family Household was shrouded in a gloomy chill, that was because Yu Laojun had suddenly fallen ill.
