22. Accountant (1)

Yu Qingya held on to Yu Qingjia’s arm affectionately, and Yu Qingjia continued to endure, finally resisting not to shake her hands away.

On the bright side, as a female member of the second household, Murong Yan is also standing behind Yu Qingjia, and his gaze slowly moved down and rested on the hand that was Holding Yu Qingjia’s arm.

Yu Qingjia was inwardly disgusted in her heart, but she didn’t lose with her superficial skills. She also put on a smile, looking like a soft and sticky younger sister, “I also miss my sister, but I heard that Yu Laojun can’t even bear to leave the fourth sister’s side for a moment, and her carriage was still in front, so…”

“Don’t worry, I have already asked for permission from Yu Laojun.” Yu Qingya had already made up her mind to follow Yu Qingjia every inch of the way today, she had no intention of asking for Yu Qingjia’s permission at all, and directly lifted her skirt towards the carriage, “When I was headed to Yu Laojun’s courtyard I was able to meet you in a hurry, but ever since then I have not been able to catch up with you, surprisingly now I have the opportunity to talk to you properly.”

Yu Qingjia watched Yu Qingya’s self-conscious movements, and the smile in her eyes faded instantly, “I am not as busy as my fourth sister, fourth sister can come to talk to me whenever she wants, of course. On the contrary, if it was in Yu Laojun’s place, then I’ll have to ask fourth sister to do the filial duties on behalf of us.”

“It’s not a big deal, it’s my good fortune to have Yu Laojun’s attention, and I’m satisfied that Yu Laojun doesn’t mind my clumsiness.” Although Yu Qingya spoke modestly, the expression on her face was different. Everyone in the Yu family knows that the fourth young lady is highly valued by Yu Laojun, and often praises her in front of everyone. What’s more, she can’t even drink her medicine without seeing her. The first household was proud of this, even Madam Li had a smug look on her face, everyone envied her for having such a good daughter.

Now Yu Qingya said these words in front of her, clearly for self-effacement and to show off. After she finished speaking, Yu Qingya stared at Yu Qingjia’s expression carefully, but unfortunately, she could barely see through the curtain hats. She could only see Yu Qingjia pursing her lips and smiling, while saying, “It is a good thing that the fourth sister is greatly valued by Yu Laojun, I feel happy for my fourth sister.”

She did not see Yu Qingjia’s face showing a look of loss or resentment, and she was deeply regretful. But then she thought, Yu Laojun is an old ancestor of the Yu family, So all the matters regarding every woman in the household, be it their clothing, food, housing, transportation, allowance, treatment, and even marriage can be easily decided with just a casual sentence from her. Every young lady and even the maidservants of the household are all trying to please her, so Yu Qingjia must be envious of her for having such a huge weight on Yu Laojun’s heart, but she still deliberately pretended not to care.

Yu Qingya sneered in her heart, she had already got into the carriage, and the carriage had already isolated the view of the outside, so she also did not bother to continue pretending to be in a harmonious relationship with her. She turned sideways to lift the carriage curtain and look out. She had a look that showed that she did not want to be bothered at all. Yu Qingjia thought that it was just what she wanted, so she carried her skirt over to the carriage and sat back down while silently pressing one hand over her lower abdomen.

After Murong Yan got into the carriage, he turned his eyes and saw Yu Qingjia’s movement immediately. He moved his fingers, and caught sight of Yu Qingya out of the corner of his eye, and could only hold it down.

After the women of the Yu family were finally seated, the long caravan slowly started. The carriage swayed gently. Yu Qingya swept a glance towards the carriage and raised her eyebrows, “Why is she also in this carriage? And She didn’t even take off the curtain hat in front of the main Family’s young lady, how arrogant.”

“This is originally the carriage of the second household, the second household only has two people, Jing Huan and me, of course we have to travel together. It’s also my fault, I didn’t anticipate that the fourth sister was coming, otherwise I should have prepared another carriage for her.”

‘It was Yu Qingya who wanted to get into the second household’s carriage, so what face did she have to pick on the second household now?’

Yu Qingya couldn’t retort back, so she only snorted lightly, turned her head and continued to stare out the carriage window, and stopped talking.

Since Yu Qingjia is happy to mix in with a concubine, and degrade herself, Yu Qingya will naturally let her be. She is aware that she has other important things to do on the street today, so she has no time to pester Yu Qingjia. She even thought maliciously, ‘It’s true that whatever kind of mother will give birth to the same kind of daughter. Madam Yu used to play the Qin and sing with Yu Wenjun like a concubine. She doesn’t act like she was raised by a proper family at all, I did not expect her daughter to be the same. She would even happily hang out with all kinds of girls.’ Yu Qingya laughed maliciously in her heart, she hoped that Yu Qingjia would always be like this, better to be reduced to a concubine who sings and dances to entertain others.

(T/N: B—tch shut up! Why are you acting childish AF you’re literally a grown woman who has been to two lifetimes, and you compare yourself with your sister, who was literally fourteen years old?? Like rather than stealing what your sister had, how about setting your life straight first! (⁠╯⁠°⁠□⁠°⁠)⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻)

In the Northern Qi, the culture of Buddhist rituals was so strong that pagodas and temples could be found everywhere in the city. The most famous Buddhist temple in Gaoping County is the Immeasurable Temple, and there is an endless stream of dignitaries and pilgrims. It is only one street outside the Immeasurable Temple, and the carriages are already blocked.

As they got closer and closer to the Immeasurable Temple, Yu Qingya visibly tensed up, her lips tightly pursed, constantly lifting the curtain to look out, and finally even directly lifting the carriage curtain herself. Her pair of eyes were like looking for something and were constantly searching around. Yu Qingjia frowned, as a young lady of a noble family, she had to use a knee-length curtain hat to cover her figure and face while traveling. Obviously such rules are being strictly imposed in the family, so seeing Yu Qingya sitting in the carriage but constantly lifting the curtain, made her frown. Her behavior was definitely improper. Yu Qingjia felt offended and at the same time had a strong sense of strangeness.

‘Why is Yu Qingya so unusual today? What is she looking for?’
