Chapter 16: CH 8.1

08. Transfer Order (1)

“Let go!”

“Don’t let go.” Yu Qingjia was also annoyed, she wrapped her two arms around the pillar and trapped Murong Yan to death. With the help of these pillars, let’s see how he can still get away.

In fact, it’s not that Murong Yan was unable to pull it out, but the position of his arm is a bit awkward. Yu Qingjia could not move him, so she hugged the pillar with her whole body, and his arms were also sandwiched between her and the wooden pillar. As long as Murong Yan exerts a little force, he could immediately feel a softness on his arms. His whole body became stiff, and didn’t dare to move anymore.

The tips of Murong Yan’s ear turned visibly red. This girl is still young, not yet her time to bloom. Her body is far from graceful, but there are already traces of where it should develop. Murong Yan tried to exert force from a different angle, but Yu Qingjia noticed his slight movement, and she immediately hugged the pillar more tightly, while glaring at him fiercely.

“You ……” Murong Yan’s body stiffened, from the arm held by Yu Qingjia to the right half of his body, he lost all sensation. As if it was no longer his. His arm no longer dare to move, but this makes a certain part of his skin particularly sensitive. The girl’s body was incredibly soft, and he could almost feel her heartbeat through the thin clothes.

Murong Yan contemplated hard whether to move or not, the tip of his ears became red even more, “You are a woman, how can you do such a thing?”

“What’s wrong with me?” Yu Qingjia was immediately annoyed when she heard this, “You even dared to secretly meet an outside man, and now you dare to talk about me?”

“How can this be the same.” Murong Yan did not know what to say, he only wanted to end this awkward situation quickly now, he was too lazy to think of excuses, so he directly told the truth to Yu Qingjia, “I met with that man because I had something I want them to do, I had to instruct them.”

Yu Qingjia didn’t quite believe this, and she wondered, “What important things do you have?”

“Really, if you don’t believe me, go ask Yu Wenjun.” Murong Yan’s arm was trapped on the pillar, but his face was deliberately deviated away, even his eyes were fixed on the distance, “Now can you let go?”

Yu Qingjia was dubious, she let go of his hand tentatively. But when she noticed Murong Yan showed signs of movement, she quickly hugged the pillar again.

Murong Yan literally gritted his teeth, “What exactly do you want?”

“I have something to tell you, you are not allowed to leave!”

“Okay.” Now as long as Yu Qingjia is willing to let go of him, she can say anything. She looked at him with suspicion, “You promise?”

“Mm.”

Only then did she slowly let go of his hand, Murong Yan was finally able to move freely and immediately withdrew his hand away. He took several steps backwards.

Fortunately, he really kept his promise, although he avoided her far away out of fear that she might do something again. He still didn’t take the opportunity to leave.

Murong Yan was awkwardly moving his stiff right arm, when he heard Yu Qingjia ask, “What exactly do you want to do when you came to our house?”

Murong Yan’s hand immediately stopped.

“Although you are a concubine, from my observation of your words and deeds, I am afraid that the environment in which you grew up on was not bad. You can read and write, you have a quick mind, and you even have a foundation in archery, so I’m afraid you are not the type of person who is willing to be subservient to others. Although I do not know why you are here, but people live in the world, nurtured by heaven and earth, by their parents, and blessed by their family and the country. So It can be said that they have shouldered a lot of kindness from birth. Even though that’s the case for us, we must still remain as an upright and honest person.”

Yu Qingjia admittedly did not like this vixen, but when she thought of what she had said in the class two days ago, and that thin and sure smile when she came out of the main courtyard that day, she still felt that there were some things that she needed to say to him. He must have thought at that time that she would go and tell on him.

The feud between the two of them is a private matter. It is a fact that Murong Yan is arrogant and domineering, and that he had a private meeting with an unknown man, but that day in the classroom about the abolition of the crown prince is a private conversation. Yu Qingjia would reveal the truth if it was concerning her father, but she would not tell him about such things. Although she was young and had suffered a lot of oppression in the ancestral home. She was still the only daughter raised by her parents who cherished and loved her. Her mother taught her to be upright and kind, and her father was a famous and revered hermit.

Yu Qingjia, who grew up in such an environment, couldn’t comprehend Murong Yan’s pessimistic outlook of people’s hearts, nor could she understand where his strong sense of distrust came from. But if possible, Yu Qingjia still wanted to persuade him.

Unfortunately, Yu Qingjia’s painstaking efforts were fed to the dogs, and when Murong Yan heard her words. He moved his wrist again as usual. He thought Yu Qingjia had discovered something, but it turned out that he had overestimated her. She would even talk to him about the three Cardinal principles and five virtues, and that human nature is inherently good, which is simply ridiculous.

Seeing this person’s nonchalant attitude, she sighed, but strangely enough she was not surprised. Since their friendship is quite shallow, she didn’t go any further. She straightened her sleeves and said coldly, “No matter what’s the reason why you’re here, since you were brought back to the mansion by my father, then you are a member of our Yu family. Every action you do is related to the family. If you do anything that degrades the Yu family, I will never forgive you.”

A member of the Yu family? Murong Yan stared at the clusters of roses outside the corridor, and his tone was like a smile or a mockery, “You dare to say that.”

The Dog biting Lu Dongbin1 didn’t know a good heart, and Yu Qingjia was so angry that she threw off her sleeves, turned around and walked away.

After the person walked out of the corridor, Murong Yan reached out and cut off a rose that was blooming enthusiastically outside the corridor. With a slight movement of his fingers, the rose fell into the soil, and the delicate petals were immediately stained with mud. The red flowers and dark mud made a strong contrast, as if it was burning with the last strength of its life, and it is no longer full of vitality.

Sure enough, it’s better to look like this. The righteousness, kindness, and pity for the poor and weak? Murong Yan gently smiled, only those who grew up in the greenhouse, and lived under the blessings of their family will need such feelings.

TL NOTE:

My Poor Yan’er~ It’s funny that Yu Qingya was still thinking that she can replace Jiajja but she doesn’t know that she wouldn’t be able to. No wonder she died in the end. With Murong Yan’s distrustful personality he would have known all along why Jiajia died on her previous life.
