Yu Qingjia didn’t expect that she would be so angry at Murong Yan to the point of crying.

She felt embarrassed, she was no longer a child, and she was crying all the time, what was she like?

However, the fox spirit really has the ability, to stimulate someone into anger until they can no longer think properly.

Yu Qingjia wiped her tears silently, sat back to her original place with a cold expression. Her eyes was staring on the ground, and she refused to look at Murong Yan.

Of course, Murong Yan wouldn’t bother.

Can you really expect him to say nice things to coax people?

He would rather kill them so they could reincarnate faster.

The two were relatively silent. They didn’t say anything and stubbornly stucked on a deadlock. Because of the silence, he could clearly hear the movements in Yu Qingjia’s courtyard.

“Yin Bei where are you going? Where’s the young miss?”

Yin Bei seemed to be in a hurry to go out, but she was held back by another person before she could even take two steps. So she couldn’t get away and could only say impatiently,

“Sixth Miss is doing needlework with Mistress Jing, nothing happened.”

“Since there is nothing wrong, what are you doing in such a hurry?”

Yin Zhu was dumbfounded, but her hands were quite strong. Yin Bei couldn’t compete with her, so she could only lower her voice and say,

“Prince Yingchuan is here, and now the maidservants from all households and courtyards are gathered around Yu Laojun’s courtyard to peek. I heard that Prince Yingchuan came from the Night city, and is an Imperial Prince! I haven’t seen a prince before, so I’ll go and see what a prince looks like.”

Yin Zhu sneered,

“You still have the nerve to say that, that day when Prince Yingchuan came to search the courtyards, you were so scared. You even hid inside the rooms in fear, leaving the Sixth Miss alone outside. Since you want to see, why didn’t you come out that night, now you want to admire what a Imperial Prince look like?”

“Leave me alone.”

There seemed to be an argument between the two inside, and Yin Bei’s voice sounded exasperated, sharp and ear-piercing,

“I heard that Prince Yingchuan is very handsome, easy-going, and more noble than any son of a noble family. If you want to see him too, just go. Why do you have to bother me, and block my way here?”

“You…”

Yinzhu sounded very angry, and her voice was no longer under control,

“Haven’t you heard of the rumors in the capital about the Imperial family? People in the Night City are avoiding them, and you still rush to see them?”

Yin Bei was unfazed,

“So what? They are the Imperial family, how can they be like ordinary people? Not caring about the life and death of others, and having a reckless behavior, they are the pride of heaven. What can you do about it? I heard that the ancestors of the current Imperial family have Xianbei blood, all of them have outstanding appearance, and they are naturally born good at both martial arts and archery. That’s a prince! If you want to see him too, I’ll take you there, if you don’t want to, then stop blocking my way and let me go.”

The two seemed to be muttering something in a low voice, and finally the courtyard fell silent.

Apparently, Yin Zhu’s position was not firm enough, and she was finally persuaded by Yin Bei.

The two eventually left their young lady to go out to see a handsome man.

Yu Qingjia was embarrassed.

She was thinking about saying something so as to divert his attention, but before she could say anything she heard Murong Yan sneer and say,

“Look at the good maids you wanted to protect. They even left you alone and go outside to see a man. You said so much just now, just for these stupid maids who backstab their own master?”

“They are not my maids, Bai Zhi and Bai Lian would not be like this.”

Yu Qingjia replied angrily, and she immediately showed a thoughtful expression, then murmured in a low voice,

“No wonder Yu Qingya bribed the maid to distract my attention using these laces. It seems her real purpose was for this.”

Prince Yingchuan is naturally in Yu Laojun’s courtyard now. Of course, Yu Qingya was not willing to let go of this opportunity.

At the same time, she was afraid that Yu Qingjia would appear and stand out, so she deliberately sent laces and ribbons to distract her, so she could stay in her courtyard and fiddle with these boudoir things. That way she would miss the meeting with Prince Yingchuan.

Yu Qingjia thought to herself,

‘Who would want to see him?’

She would rather stay and argue with this fox spirit than go out.

Yu Qingjia was deep in thought and seemed to have realized something, Murong Yan looked at her expression, and slowly narrowed his eyes.

Murong Yan then asked abruptly,

“Do you regret it?”

“Huh?”

Yu Qingjia was stunned by the question,

“What are you talking about?”

Murong Yan thought Yu Qingjia was deliberately pretending not to know when he heard her reply. So he sneered, put his hands on his lap casually, and said,

“Since you’ve already figured it out, you can go out if you want to. The two maids have already left, so no one will disturb your leisure time anymore.”

Yu Qingjia was confused, she thought about it for awhile, then she gradually remembered that when she entered the door, she seemed o have said that she came here to hide and relax.

She was speechless. Obviously it was just a random excuse she made up casually… But he still remembered it?

Yu Qingjia used to not care about it in the past, but now that she knew that this fox spirit in front of her is a man, obviously she can’t just insist on staying.

It would be weird, coming from a lady. She was obviously displeased, so she stood up with a cold face, and said stiffly,

“You’re right. Then I will no longer disturb your recuperation.”

Yu Qingjia left with a straight face. The door creaked open, and then closed with a bang. From the force exerted to it, it is not difficult to see that the person who closed the door was probably in a bad mood.

A few moments passed, and the room was quiet again, only the warm sunlight was shining over the windows, and everything looked the same as before.

But the sewing basket left on the low couch showed that this was not the case.

Murong Yan’s gaze could not help but fall on the pile of dazzlingly bright silk ribbons and laces.

He was not surprised at all. People would always value power and profit, especially women.

Prince Yingchuan has the title and the backing. He is also the third son of the emperor.

He came personally to visit the residence, which woman would let go of this opportunity to fly high?

Why would they bother to sit around in the courtyard of an idler with absolutely nothing to do?

She’s just wasting her time for nothing. Maybe Yu Qingjia wanted to leave a long time ago, and his words hit her right into the heart.

The light in Murong Yan’s eyes became colder and colder, and finally settled into a thick black color. It may seem calm, but it had a heart-stopping ruthless determination.

Murong Yan refocused his attention to the scroll in his hand, he had just turned two pages when the door was suddenly pushed open with a “Bang”.

Yu Qingjia’s expression was still extremely bad, she was holding a large stack of books, and no matter what Murong Yan was doing, she piled them all up on his desk.

Murong Yan frowned, reaching out his hand to block the rolled down scrolls.

He looked up at Yu Qingjia, and the first thing he thought about was why did she come back?

The second thing he did was calculate the interval in between her departure and arrival.

According to the distance from the second courtyard to Yu Laojun’s courtyard, and based on Yu Qingjia’s pace, it was definitely not enough for a round trip.

So, she was looking for books all this time?

After thinking about it, Murong Yan couldn’t help but look at her with scrutiny. But the words he spoke was flat and indifferent, with no signs of wavering at all,

“What are you doing here?”
