28. Bandaging (1)
After hearing Yu Qingya say that, Hongluan was immediately taken aback. She has been constantly being frightened today. First, on the way to the Buddhist temple, the fourth miss had a whim and even had the kindness to bring back a commoner.
Then she decided to go visit the second household in the middle of the night. By now, she had already come out, and it was finally coming to an end, but the Fourth Miss suddenly said,
âSomethingâs not right.â
Hongluan was about to collapse,
âWhatâs wrong? Fourth Miss Whatâs wrong?â
Yu Qingya stood for a moment, then turned around and walked back.
Tonightâs events are too coincidental. She didnât realize it when she was standing in the courtyard earlier, but when she was walking out to think back on the events earlier, the more she thought about it, the stranger it was. Coincidences are often the biggest flaw, and Yu Qingya was convinced of this, since she canât figure out what was wrong, then just go back and take a look again.
If Yu Qingjia was really hiding something, she will definitely be able to catch her on the act.
No one expected that Yu Qingya would shoot back without warning. When she opened the door and entered, everyone inside was startled.
Yu Qingjia and the servant girl were gathered around the brazier, while looking back at Yu Qingya in surprise,
âFourth Sister? Why are you back?â
Yu Qingya stared at the brazier in the main courtyard and asked doubtfully,
âWhat is this?â
âA Brazier.â
Yu Qingjia responded smoothly and calmly, as if she was still wondering why Yu Qingya would ask such a question,
âThe menstrual belt was seen by those outside men, and I donât want to continue using it, so I decided to burn it all clean.â
Itâs true, if Yu Qingyaâs things were seen by unrelated men, she would also sulk and hate to tear up everything. Her eyes immediately moved, she swept through the inner courtyard quietly, with her eyebrows furrowed,
âSo you two has been together the entire time?â
âYeah.â
Yu Qingya looked at her strangely,
âOtherwise, what does the Fourth Sister think?â
Yu Qingya was dumbfounded, she rushed back violently just to catch Yu Qingjia off guard. If there was really someone in the house, after everyone left, the other party would inevitably let down their guard and come out from their hiding place under great surprise and relief.
Yu Qingya just scanned the whole place down, and was still empty, it was no different from when she left.
So she had no choice but to believe that she was just simply too suspicious today. Presumably, the encounter between the male lead and the female lead has not yet begun, and everything else was just because she was being too sensitive, and she is acting like a soldier always suspicious of the criminal.
Yu Qingya smiled and said,
âI was worried about my sister, so I came back to take a look. Since my sister is fine, then I am relieved.â
The wind in the late autumn night was already very cold, and it was clear that there was nothing wrong with her today, but Yu Qingya still came back, and after a lot of tossing, she was already too embarrassed to say anything now.
She immediately tightened the cloak around her body, didnât even bother to exchange pleasantries, then turned around and walked out.
Since she was in a hurry to leave, she naturally didnât see the ridicule in Yu Qingjiaâs eyes that seemed to have seen through everything.
After the people left, Yu Qingjia waited for a while, to make sure that there was no more movement outside, before taking the fire flicker from the maid and said,
âYou go back and rest, Iâll just watch the fire.â
Yinzhu hesitated for a moment, after all, a maid is different from a young lady, the lady can rest early, but the maid must guard the fire, wait for it to burn all the clothes down before going back.
However, after a night of tossing and turning, she was scared and frightened, and Yinzhu has long been exhausted. Huang and Yinbei have long since escape and made up excuses like it was her turn to stand guard in the ladyâs room tonight, while she was left behind in a daze, to help burn the unclean menstrual belt together with her.
So after hearing Yu Qingjia say this, she hesitated for a moment, but finally could not resist the sleepiness, and obeyed her orders and retreated.
After Yinzhu left, Yu Qingjia walked back to the inner room and pulled out a few strands of bloodstained clothes under the bloodstained menstrual bands.
The bloodstained clothes were of course Murong Yanâs and they were obviously the most deadly evidence. She thought about it herself, since she was on her monthly period, she can use it as an excuse to cover up Murong Yanâs trails.
She asked him to take off his blood stained clothes, tear it to shreds, stain a clean menstrual belt with blood and wrap it around the shredded clothes. In order to confuse and divert Murong Xuâs attention, they deliberately hid the menstrual belt inside the interlayer of the closet.
Facts have proven that although Yu Qingjiaâs idea was risky, the effect is remarkable. Murong Xu was so embarrassed to continue looking around after seeing her menstrual belt, in fact, if he used a knife to pick it down again, he would be able to see the blood stained fragments of Murong Yanâs Hu clothes.
But he didnât. So Everything was safe and sound, but fortunately Yu Qingjia was careful and didnât take out the Hu clothes to burn down immediately, otherwise Yu Qingya, who came back abruptly, would have seen it, and she wonât be able to explain anything. Now that Yu Qingya was completely fooled away, and Yinzhu was sent away as well. Yu Qingjia took out Murong Yanâs clothes and threw them into the fire one by one, and watched as they turned into ashes along with her menstrual belt.
After she managed to dispose of the bloody clothes, it was then that her heart could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The last evidence had been erased, and if someone asked about it later, she even had a ready-made excuse that she had lit it on fire. Yu Qingjia looked around the courtyard again to make sure that there were no more traces, then she picked up the medicine box, quietly opened the back window and jumped over it.
It was actually the first time for Yu Qingjia to jump over a window and it was even her own. She was deeply embarrassed, but at this moment the night was already quiet, and she wouldnât take the risk of opening the front door, lest she alarm Yinzhu and Yinbei outside, so she could only resort to this.
Her courtyard and Murong Yanâs Courtyard are connected by a small door, so all she did was to gently push open the corner door with a crack and slip through it.
The reason why Murong Xu and Yu Qingya could not find anyone is because Murong Yan is not in Yu Qingjiaâs courtyard at all. Murong Yan has an official status in the Yu Family after all, and the only thing that Yu Qingjia had to do was to stop Murong Xu from barging into his courtyard.
It may sound simple but it wasnât. She deliberately stammered and looked left and right, making herself look guilty and suspicious to fool him, and Murong Xu obviously didnât fail her expectations. He had taken the bait, and spent the entire time tossing around her room without making his way into the third courtyard.
As for Yu Qingya, it was simply incidental. So now that the two groups of people had been gotten rid of, and she had also managed to dispose of the evidence, that Yu Qingjia could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Only then did she remember that Murong Yanâs injury still needed to be bandaged.
She was carrying the medicine box and didnât dare to knock on the door, so instead she walked over silently and whispered, âHey, Are you still awake?â
After asking, Yu Qingjia herself felt strange, why is she acting like a flower-thief?
She would even sneak around in the middle of the night, jump over her own window, just to sneak over someoneâs room. And it was even a manâs!
There was no response, but the door was soon opened silently. After Murong Yan opened the door, he turned around, and went back inside without saying anything.
She tried to suppress the strange feeling in her heart, continued to sneak her way into the door like a well-experienced thief, then tiptoed around, looked around silently, then closed the door lightly with a backhand.
When she turned around, she realized that the room was too dark, and there were no candles to light so she could only fumble her way towards the bed, while following her memory.
However, Yu Qingjiaâs senses, and athletic talent were at rock bottom. She couldnât see the path clearly ahead, so she first stumbled her foot into the table, turned around and almost hit the vase.
When the vase fell, her breathing immediately stopped. She had just sent Murong Xu and the others away. If they get lured back in because of the sound sheâd be in deep trouble!
She cursed herself a couple of times in her heart. She thought she was dead, but the sound of porcelain falling didnât come. She seemed to hear a sigh coming from the side, and soon her hand was held by someone, leading her inside.
âFollow me.â
She heaved a sigh of relief. When she was in Xisong town, it was this hand that led her to find the way. It helped her avoid the rain, and deal with the pursuers. She actually had a huge trust in the vixen.
However, although she was a bit sentimental for a moment, she suddenly remembered that the vixen she knew was not a vixen but a fox spirit! No! A Man!
Yu Qingjia was about to pull back her hand, but after struggling twice, she was tightly restrained by the other party.
âDonât move, do you want to lure the other people back?â
Well, she knows that itâs best to look at the bigger picture. So she relented. When they reached the side of the bed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She then sat down, pulled her hand away immediately, raised her head, and glared at him angrily.
âThis is too much! Just too much!â
