Unforgettable Emperor's Favor - Chapter 61 Part 1

60. Playing Chess (1)

After two games, the sky grew dark, and the lights had to be lit in the room.

Yu Qingjia, who was sitting on her knees on the couch was clattering and flicking the chess pieces on the lacquered box, she then picked out the red-colored chess pieces inside.

Yin Zhu walked in quickly from outside, stood in the doorway, not daring to raise her head, and said in a low voice, “Miss, someone from the main household came to send a message, saying that the Eldest Son won’t be coming back today.”

The smile on Yu Qingjia’s face immediately went cold.

In fact, this result is not surprising at all, Yu Laojun wanted to continue the family line, but the second household’s main wife had passed away, and the main household’s main wife is still alive, with Yu Laojun favor, it is completely predictable, to see Yu Wenjun stay in the main household after his return.

It wasn’t that Yu Qingjia didn’t predict this, but it was just that Yu Wenjun had also agreed to talk to her before.

Yu Qingjia waited excitedly at home for a long time, and finally was suddenly told that Yu Wenjun would not come back.

No one can accept such a fact.

After the message was delivered, Yin Zhu didn’t dare to stay and quietly left.

She thought of the arrogant look of the maid who had just come over to deliver the news, and she felt very angry inside.

A few days’ work had been enough for Bai Rong to get a thorough understanding of the Yu family’s situation.

She also sighed for Yu Qingjia, her family line is declining, her mother died early, her father has become half a father.

The fact that she also lives in such a big family, Yu Qingjia’s situation is not too difficult to understand.

However, in addition to the heartache, Bai Rong can not do more, first and foremost there is no reason for outsiders to intervene in the family affairs of others, secondly, since Yu Wenjun was being tied up by the other side, their household would become neglected, and no one would bother them, which is good for Murong Yan.

Bai Rong turned on the lights and silently retreated.

Yu Qingjia pursed her lips, did not speak for a long time, and only the sound of falling leaves could be heard in the room.

Yu Qingjia’s eyes stared at the chessboard and whispered after a while, “He clearly promised me.”

Murong Yan’s speed of placing the chess pieces remained as unhurried as ever, “It’s his fault, he broke his promise.”

Although he said so, in fact, Murong Yan’s heart had no fluctuations.

He even wished that Yu Wenjun would live in the main household in the future, and not come there.

After all, once Yu Wenjun comes back, they would have to eat together, and after that, Yu Qingjia and Yu Wenjun would have to spend more time talking.

You must know that these times belong solely to Murong Yan.

Even if Yu Wenjun is Yu Qingjia’s biological father, he is still the outsider here.

If it was replaced by someone else, they would definitely say, ‘Yu Wenjun also had no choice.’

‘Yu Qingjia as a daughter had to be more sympathetic.’

Even when Madam Yu was still around at that time, and their mother and daughter encountered this kind of thing, again and again, waiting for nothing, even if Madam Yu’s heart turned sour, she will still smile to Yu Qingjia and say, ‘It’s also not easy for your father.’

‘You can not hold a grudge against your father, as long as you go back to sleep, he’ll definitely be back.’

This was probably the first time that Yu Qingjia didn’t hear any words of comfort and reproach.

Murong Yan even recognized Yu Wenjun’s dereliction of duty as soon as he opened his mouth.

It was fine that no one was reproaching her, now that someone was on her side, Yu Qingjia’s eyes blinked and her eyelashes immediately became wet.

Murong Yan noticed Yu Qingjia’s aggrieved expression almost at the same time.

His fingers moved, and finally gently stroked Yu Qingjia’s eyes, drying her tears for her, “He has an upright and kind temperament, so he will be easily coerced by others, and he even had to compromise for it. In the future, if you were to similarly marry someone who is upright, kind, filial, responsible, and treats others with sincerity. Then I’m afraid he will probably inevitably break your trust again and again.”

Yu Qingjia curled her lips and felt unconvinced, “In the future, when I choose a husband, I will not choose someone with such a complicated family.”

Murong Yan chuckled, his fingertips lingered on Yu Qingjia’s cheeks for a moment and said, “Even if it’s a simpler family, there should always be parents and uncles, brothers and sisters, right? You see, a kind person has to be filial to his parents, unite his brothers, and deal with family conflicts. They had to stand up for his married sister-in-laws and younger sister. With so many multiple scruples to sift through, how much of his heart do you think he still has for you?”

Murong Yan’s words undoubtedly poked Yu Qingjia’s heart.

Her father was sincere to his peers and close friends, he was courteous to his elders, even when they made things difficult for him, he was only respectful and never mouthed bad words towards them.

Yu Wenjun is a righteous man, and Madam Yu fell in love with him for this reason, but Yu Laojun and Madam Li held him hostage due to this point as well.

Yu Wenjun has a strong sense of moral restraint, and Yu Laojun relies on this to cry about her own grief.

Crying that her days are numbered, that she can’t see her family continue to live in a prosperous future, and that she will not have the face to see her ancestors in the future.

In this way, even if Yu Wenjun had the intention, he would not be able to take care of Madam Yu and Yu Qingjia.

Seeing that Yu Qingjia didn’t speak, Murong Yan smiled softly.

In fact, he knew that his words were untenable.

A person who was not good to his parents and relatives would have a greater chance of being even worse to his wife.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing an upright and kind person when choosing a husband.

However, Murong Yan was one of the very few, who would treat no one else better in this world than Yu Qingjia.

There was nothing in the world that could make him scruple over, thus inadvertently wronging her.

It’s a pity that she is sincere and kind, and the person she’s looking for is also a good person like Yu Wenjun and herself.

Murong Yan is the pure darkness of despair in the abyss.

He is selfish and cruel, has no empathy, has no sense of justice, much less morality in his eyes.

They are completely different people.

After Yu Qingjia cried, the corners of her eyes turned red, and her eyes were shiny with tears.

She put her mind back on the chessboard, stared silently for a while, and realized that she had lost again.

Yu Qingjia was really annoyed this time.

She threw the chess pieces back into the lacquer box, obviously angry, but her words all took on an aggrieved crying tone as soon as they left her mouth,

“Why didn’t you let me win again?”

Murong Yan was silent for a rare moment.

He rubbed the black chess piece with his fingers.

After a moment, he leisurely said, “I did, but you didn’t pick on it.”
