 04. Letter from home (1)

After Yu Qingjia withdrew from the dining hall, she immediately lifted her skirt and darted through the corridor. When she finally caught up with the person, she held onto the pillar and shouted with a pant, “Stop right there!”

Murong Yan seemed to stop unexpectedly, and turned around to see that it was Yu Qingjia. He continued to walk forward without even sparing her a glance. Yu Qingjia could guarantee that she definitely saw the disdain in that vixen’s eyes.

No manners! No manners at all!

Yu Qingjia also did not care to catch her breath, and immediately crossed the corridor and blocked in front of Murong Yan. She raised her head and stared at him awe-inspiringly.

Yu Qingjia didn’t expect that she would need to look up.

Yu Qingjia followed the example of her aunt and uncle, and came to give the restless Concubine Ji a downward spiral. She knew some powerful ladies who, although they were only daughters, had taken care of their father’s concubines and held the power of life and death over the entire backyard.

In the past, Yu Qingjia was the only one in the Governor’s residence, and of course she was indifferent when it comes to housekeeping matters, but now that there was an invasion of a foreign ‘enemy’ in the backyard, she immediately resolved that she could no longer be as lazy as before, and that she would use her mother’s prestige, and the other people to completely suppress the flame of this concubine.

No matter how favored you are, even a dragon has to be coiled in my territory.

In Yu Qingjia’s original plan, she would stand in front of Murong Yan with a graceful and elegant lotus steps, and lightly and ardently say some words of grace and power to destroy the vixen’s prestige. She will make her kneel on the ground and confess her mistakes, and not dare to offend herself again afterwards.

But as soon as she came out, she found that Murong Yan was gone. She chased after him all the way with the hell of the maids, before she could finally catch up to him. Yu Qingjia doesn’t really exercise, and this trip really cost her half her life. Her chest is now heaving up and down, and she can’t stop panting. Because of the uneven breath, plus the need to look up at the person, Yu Qingjia lost half of her momentum before she could even speak.

Yu Qingjia is very dissatisfied with her appearance, she secretly slandered, that this vixen walked very fast.

“Are you the concubine my father brought back?”

This kind of careless rhetorical question is the most intimidating, casual, and confident. It was only then can she show a Lady’s demeanor. Well, although Yu Qingjia is not yet the Lady of the house, but the purpose is the same.

But Yu Qingjia apparently forgot that in the past, when the main house received concubines, they would sit and kneel subsequently. While she now had to look up at the person.

In this way, the threatening effect that she wanted may have to be discounted, and her eyes are round and hooked, looking cute and fluffy, the effect was greatly diminished again.

Murong Yan looked down at her coldy. He walked around her, and walked forward. She was taken aback for a moment.

What’s going on? Why is this vixen not frightened?     

Yu Qingjia hurriedly turned around and quickly ran to catch up with him again. She stared at him with her eyes widened,

“There is a difference between the status of a lady and a concubine. Is this how you treat treat the master’s daughter?”

Murong Yan continued to move forward as if he hadn’t even seen her.

Yu Qingjia had to take two steps back, while trying to maintain her momentum,

“I am the first daughter, and my mother is also my father’s childhood sweetheart, even if mother is no longer around, there is no chance for you to make waves in the Yu residence. If you live your life in peace, I can ensure that you can eat and drink without worry, otherwise, I will not be polite to you.”

Murong Yan looked down at the person in front of him, and wondered for the first time how there could be such a stupid person in this world.

He moved his body, but he was blocked by her again.

“Did you hear me?”

Murong Yan couldn’t bear it anymore. He stretched out a finger against Yu Qingjia’s shoulder, and directly pushed her whole body away.

“Hey, you…” Yu Qingjia didn’t even have time to react, before her whole body was pushed away. Her weight was unstable, and she had to reach out and hold onto the railing to stabilize herself, while the culprit of all this was unrepentant and seemed at ease now that he had finally cleared his path. He pursed his lips, and actually walked away without looking back.

Yu Qingjia stared at the other party’s back in consternation, practically staring out a hole in it. She lifted her skirt and took two steps after him, shouting at Murong Yan’s back.

“Did you hear that? I came to remind you with good intentions, if you do this again, I will be unkind to you.”

Even though the little girl said these threats, There was no strength at all, and when she talked about it again, her tone was a bit languid, and even trailed off at the end.

Murong Yan then thought nonchalantly, Just by You?

He snorted in his heart, not even bothering to give Yu Qingjia a second look. Bai Lian was following Yu Qingjia, and she witnessed the whole process of her own lady’s embarrassing situation. From chasing Jing Huan, to being ignored, and now being pushed away. Bai Lian felt a little embarrassed and carefully shouted, “Miss…”

“She, she actually…” Yu Qingjia was furious, and in the end stomped her foot indignantly,

“I’m not finished with her yet!”

Bai Zhi lifted the curtain and saw the expression of the people outside. She was immediately stunned.

“Oh, what’s wrong with Miss? Who pissed you off?”

Bai Lian winked at Bai Zhi, “Stop talking, Miss is now annoyed.”

Bai Zhi moved out of the way and waited for Yu Qingjia to walk inside before she asked Bai Lian secretly, “What’s wrong?”

“If It’s not because of the new girl the Governor brought back, what else? She doesn’t even know what she’s doing. Just a mere concubine, how dare she show her attitude in front of the lady.”

When the governor came back, Bai Zhi did not follow Yu Qingjia out, but stayed indoors. So she only knew that there was a new concubine in the Yu residence, but she did not know what kind of person she was. But now, looking at Yu Qingjia’s expression, Bai Zhi was afraid that she was not a good person.

Bai Zhi grew up taking care of Yu Qingjia. She was almost like an older sister, except for her biological mother, Madam Yu, she was the closest to her. Bai Zhi brought a candlestick for Yu Qingjia and sat gently on her knees behind her, “Miss, are you still worried about the new girl?”

“No. How Is she worth it?”

Bai Zhi did not push it, but lighted the candle wick, and slowly said, “Miss do not be angry. You, being angry like this, she is not worth it. You are the treasure in the heart of the governor. Even when the elders from the old house did not agree, the governor still insisted on bringing you to Qingzhou? This is true for the elders, let alone a mere concubine?”

Seeing that she was silent, Bai Zhi deliberately diverted her attention and said cheerfully, “Miss, didn’t you ask for letters during the day? There is a letter sent from Yanzhou.”

“Oh?”

Yu Qingjia’s spirits lifted and she hurriedly said, “Bring it to me quickly.”

When a letter came from the ancestral home, it was reasonable for Yu Wenjun to go through it first, but he had always cherished his daughter, so he didn’t care about these small matters. Yu Qingjia quickly opened the letter. Her eyes glanced at the ten lines written on it. But when she saw the end, her expression immediately turned solemn.

Bai Zhi saw that her expression was wrong, and asked with concern, “Miss, What’s wrong?”

The two pages of paper were placed on the table casually, and Yu Qingjia said in a light tone, “They are urging father to go back to Yanzhou again. The old ancestor even reprimanded him for insisting on going his own way. She said that taking up an official position in Qingzhou would only waste his time and delay his official career. She even said that if father came back to his senses, and returned to Yanzhou now, he would still be able to catch up with the official position that she had arranged for him.”

Bai Zhi fell silent immediately. The Old Ancestor of the Yu family did not approve of Yu Wenjun’s departure, but they did not expect that Yu Laojun’s prejudice against Qingzhou had become so bad.

Yu Qingjia instinctively felt that something was wrong.

The Yu family had been living in Yanzhou for many generations, and it is common for senior elders to look down on other places. But they had been in Qingzhou for two years. Usually, although Yu Laojun was displeased, his tone was still polite, and in just a few days, why did it suddenly take a sharp turn for the worse, to the point of angrily rebuking her father in a letter?

Yu Qingjia immediately thought of Yu Qingya. This undoubtedly dropped another hammer heavily on her heart.

Those dreams, are real!

Counting the time of the correspondence, I am afraid that Yu Qingjia’s dream and Yu Qingya’s rebirth did not happen at the same time. The time must be pushed forward by at least one or two months.

This made sense, Yu Qingya was reborn and signed a contract with the system. The system to help her deal with her, put its plan into practice within these two months.
