Unforgettable Emperor's Favor - Chapter 60 Part 1

60. Bitter (2)

Yu Wenjun didn’t expect that he would be so valued by Murong Yan, and he suddenly felt a sense of mission.

Yu Wenjun continued to ask, “The incident occurred suddenly, that your two maidservants Bai Zhi and Bai Lian had no time to rush to your carriage to follow, and protect you. You have been accustomed to having them around to serve you ever since you were a child… So have you ever been uncomfortable without them around to serve you this time?”

Madam Li’s eyebrows twitched involuntarily, and even Yu Laojun also looked at Yu Qingjia.

After being subjected to so many complicated gazes, Yu Qingjia’s eyelashes converged downwards, and she replied, “Everything is fine, father is worrying too much.”

Seeing that Yu Qingjia did not complain to Yu Wenjun, both Yu Laojun and Yu Qingya breathed a small sigh of relief.

Yu Laojun who had been dissatisfied by the fact that Yu Wenjun had been focusing all his attention to Yu Qingjia ever since he came in, increased her tone of voice, interrupting their conversation, “My Eldest Grandson just came back. He’s been traveling for a long time, I’m afraid that he didn’t have much time to rest. If you have anything to say, let’s talk about it later.”

Yu Wenjun frowned when he heard this, even if he was tired, could he not even have the strength to speak?

However, Yu Wenjun knew that he could not ask about certain matters in front of so many people.

He intends to wait a little later when he’s back at their courtyard to carefully ask Yu Qingjia details when she, and the young prince, were on their way to the Yanzhou.

Yu Wenjun nodded to Yu Qingjia and said, “Your father will go meet with the elders for a while, so you can go back to the courtyard and wait first.”

Yu Qingjia obediently answered and excused herself from Yu Laojun.

Yu Wenjun returned to the Yu family for the first time in three years, and had to light some incense for Yu Yan, and his Adoptive Father.

Knowing this, he knew it might take him a while.

When Yu Qingjia returned to her courtyard, she was fidgety for a long time and couldn’t help but look outside.

When Yin Zhu saw this, she said, “Miss, please stop looking, if Master returns, there will definitely be movement outside.”

Bai Rong was kneeling on the side of the couch and changed a fresh cup of tea for Yu Qingjia, she also chimed in and said,

“Young Miss don’t be anxious, it’s only been an incense stick of time since you came back, the Master’s visit to the ancestral hall won’t be so quick. If you are impatient to wait, why don’t you play the Zither to relieve your boredom?”

Yu Qingjia shook her head, “How can I play the zither when my heart is this restless.”

As she spoke Yu Qingjia couldn’t help but look out again.

There really wasn’t any movement outside the door, she was slightly disappointed and said, “Forget it, I’ll just write something to calm my mind.”

Bai Rong took out a pen and ink, Yu Qingjia wrote two lines, but she still couldn’t concentrate.

So She fiddled with the chess pieces next to her and asked, “Where is Fox— Jing Huan?”

“Reading a book in the back courtyard.”

Yu Qingjia didn’t know when she was no longer used to being alone.

It was so easy to go from being frugal to being extravagant, however it’s difficult if it was suddenly reversed, Madam Yu died early, and she was the only child in the second household.

This is why Yu Qingjia was used to doing things by herself.

She was already used to this kind of loneliness, but ever since Yu Wenjun brought Murong Yan back in April this year, there was suddenly another person of her age in their empty courtyard.

In Guangling County Yu Qingjia was forced to attend classes with Murong Yan, and then when they were attacked on the mountain road, the two of them broke away from the assassins and traveled alone together, and when they returned to Yanzhou, Yu Qingjia had no one to rely on, and because of her childhood and the events in her dreams, she was filled with defensiveness towards the Yu family’s ancestral home, and subconsciously relied on the only person she knew well, Murong Yan.

After being Accustomed to having company for a while now, Yu Qingjia was no longer comfortable with the idea of returning to her once solitary state.

Yu Qingjia naturally stood up, quickly placing the chess pieces into the chess box, and said in a brisk tone, “Since she’s there, I’ll go find her to play chess.”

Bai Rong was surprised for a moment when she heard this, and she politely said, “Young Miss, Mistress Jing is reading a book, and it seems inappropriate to disturb her hastily.”

“What’s inappropriate?”

Yu Qingjia was unconcerned and said, “Hold the chessboard, let’s go.”

Bai Rong wanted to remind Yu Qingjia that the Young Master was detached and aloof.

He was even cold, and indifferent towards his sick grandfather, Emperor Mingwu, so how could he talk about taking care of others.

There was once a woman who tried to strike up a conversation with Murong Yan, but he walked straight past her without even looking at her.

That was even when Murong Yan was free, now that he was in the middle of something, if Yu Qingjia comes, and bothers him, she’s afraid she’d be brutally rejected by him.

Bai Rong couldn’t bear to see Yu Qingjia being shut out of the door, and embarrassed by her young master.

The young Miss was thin-skinned after all.

But when Yu Qingjia decided to go talk with Murong Yan, her footsteps became light and fast.

She ran out, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Bai Rong followed behind and lost sight of the person before she could even persuade her.

Bai Rong sighed and could only follow Yu Qingjia from behind.

She was ready to comfort Yu Qingjia, but Yu Qingjia went through the back door and without even knocking, she even straightforwardly pushed the door.

Bai Rong’s mouth opened wide in shock.

She had just come to Yu Qingjia’s side not long ago, and although she was shrewd in doing things, she was still considered a newcomer in the second household.

She saw Yu Qingjia speak very casually to the Young Prince a few days ago, even to the point of being disrespectful.

At that time, Bai Rong thought that the Young Prince was just giving Yu Wenjun some face, but coupled with the fact that Yu Qingjia was indeed a legitimate daughter based status, she can not be faulted for being a little bit arrogant.

That’s probably why the Young Prince didn’t pursue the matter.

However, even Yu Wenjun’s daughter isn’t privileged enough to enter and leave the young master’s territory at will, right?

Bai Rong held the chessboard in her arms, while she watched Yu Qingjia run directly to Murong Yan’s side without any scruples.

Murong Yan was indeed reading a book.

Yu Qingjia was like a butterfly stopping by Murong Yan’s side, as she moved, her light red inter-colored skirt was picked up by the wind, gradually meandering down from the couch and stacked to the ground.

The space on the couch was already limited, and now with Yu Qingjia being there, the hem of their clothes was barely enough to fit them.

Yu Qingjia reached out and tugged at Murong Yan’s sleeve, saying, “It’s going to be dark soon, stop looking at those, and accompany me to play chess.”

Murong Yan seemed to be focused on something very important, and did not pay attention to the source of disturbance around him.

After Yu Qingjia realized that he didn’t make any response, she simply leaned her body towards Murong Yan’s direction again, and directly reached out to cover the words on the book, “Stop reading, I’m here already, it’s boring for you to read anymore.”

Bai Rong’s cold sweat beaded, even if she was from the Eastern Palace, she had to admit with a clear conscience that their young master’s temper was not very good.

He especially loathes others interfering with his decisions.

If someone came over to annoy him while he was reading a book, that was simply looking for death.

She hurriedly thought of words to round up the situation, and before she could organize her words, she saw Murong Yan raise his head, glanced at Yu Qingjia helplessly.

He then reached out to hold her wrist, removing that slender white hand from the pages of the book, “Don’t make trouble.”
