07. Betrayal (2)

The most important thing is that she can’t bear it, so Yu Qingjia didn’t care about her purse anymore and immediately took Bai Lian towards the main courtyard.

When Murong Yan came back, his eyes inadvertently glanced down and saw shoe prints at the base of the wall. It had just rained today, and the moss in the corner of the wall is wet, after abruptly standing in front of it, it won’t be able to hide a person’s traces. Murong Yan looked at the marks on the corner of the wall, and hooked the corners of his lips in an ambiguous manner.

“Father.” Yu Qingjia hurriedly ran in. Her grand skirt fluttering like the feathers of a flying bird, “Father, I have something to tell you.”

Yu Wenjun looked up from his paperwork and gave a strange look then said, “What do you want to say, why are you in such a hurry?”

Yu Qingjia knelt down beside her father, her wide soft skirt curled up on the ground with an indescribable beauty. Murong Yan had already noticed Yu Qingjia trailing him as early as when he was about to go out. As soon as she left, he followed.

Now, he stopped outside the door and quietly waited for what she wanted to say.

He talked to her about why the crown prince was betrayed by his teacher today. Such words may be very subtle to the ears of Yu Wenjun and the other courtiers. Everyone understands the truth that flying birds can make good bows but hides it. Not to mention the fact that Murong Yan is now the son of a commoner who has nothing, and has the name of Prince Langya, but does not even dare to show his face as a man in public. He dared to say such things today, so when he really recovers the throne, can these heroes like Yu Wenjun really end well?

Anyone would have to think about it in their hearts.

Now, as long as Yu Qingjia relay what he said in the morning, she can completely take revenge on him and get rid of him.

Murong Yan even put a smile on his face and waited quietly.

Inside the room, Yu Wenjun also looked at her with concern. She took a deep breath and said, “Father, do you know, that vixen Jing Huan actually met with an unknown man in private!”

Murong Yan’s eyes were still smiling, but after hearing this, he raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

At this time, there was also a silence in the room, Yu Wenjun looked at his daughter for half a second, then said, “Oh. What else?”

Yu Qingjia was expecting her father to be furious, or at least to show a slight displeasure. However, he gave an ordinary “oh” instead…

Yu Qingjia also looked at him strangely, “Father?”

Yu Wenjun coughed, not knowing how to explain it to his daughter. It was definitely impossible to say that women in the backyard could just meet outside men casually, wouldn’t that be teaching his daughter badly? But if he didn’t really say so, he wouldn’t be able to explain the special nature of his “Concubine”.

In the end, Yu Wenjun could only vaguely say, “Jiajia, you know that these things are not good. Your father will take care of it, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Really?”

Yu Wenjun nodded very sheepishly, “Really, when has your father ever lied to you.”

“All right then.” Yu Qingjia stood up and took two steps outside, and she was still unable to resist turning back to remind him, “Father, you must deal with it fairly! She not only met an outside man, but also secretly gave him money.”

Yu Wenjun coughed again, his face suddenly became serious, and said in a deep voice, “Jiajia, this kind of thing is very inappropriate, you must not do this.”

Yu Qingjia nodded her head obediently and answered. When she left the door, she immediately came Face-to-Face with Murong Yan.

Murong Yan looked at her with an indescribable smile. Murong Yan is usually gloomy, but now, his eyes seem to be genuinely smiling.

Yu Qingjia was chilled from his gaze, and she glared back fiercely, “What are you smiling at!”

Murong Yan shook his head as if nothing had happened. He withdrew his gaze and looked ahead quietly, and after a while, suddenly asked, “Why didn’t you talk about the other thing?”

Yu Qingjia’s heart suddenly skipped a bit. She immediately remembered Murong Yan’s shocking words in the classroom. She glanced in annoyance and said in a harsh voice, “It’s your own business.”

After she returned to her courtyard that day, she calmly waited for her father to deal with it impartially. But after two days, the weather was still calm.

Yu Qingjia couldn’t resist, so she urged Bai Lian to go outside to inquire about the news. It took a long time for Bai Lian to return with her head bowed and her expression looking very complicated.

Yu Qingjia was suspicious and immediately called her over and asked, “Did you find out? What did father say?”

Bai Lian stammered. Her eyes constantly glancing around, “Miss…”

“Say it!”

Bai Lian gritted her teeth and said desperately, “This slave did not hear about how the governor dealt with the Concubine but heard from the kitchen staff that he gave her the household key and a pair of cards.”

Yu Qingjia stared in amazement, and only after a while did she mutter and repeated her words, “You’re saying that father not only didn’t punish her, but also gave her the financial power of the backyard?”

Bai Lian hung her head, obviously not daring to admit it. Yu Qingjia sat on the couch for a while, then stood up abruptly. Her face was cold as she was about to walk out.

Bai Zhi and Bai Lian hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, “Miss, why are you so angry with a concubine? She is just a concubine brought back by the governor, although she is favored, she is not your proper elder. Bear with it, until the governor grew tired of her. It will be fine. If you go against the governor now, you will only hurt the father-daughter relationship between you and the governor.”

“How can I bear it? My father has reached the point where he would even disregard right and wrong. He doesn’t even know what’s going on. For such a serious matter, Mistress Jing probably poured ecstasy soup on him, then he was muddle-headed. I don’t know what to do now. If I don’t stand up for myself, it will be too late when that concubine’s hand reaches out to me in the future. At that time, it will be too late!”

Bai Zhi and Bai Lian failed to stop her, whose eyes were shining with anger. When she walked to the main courtyard, she happened to see Yu Wenjun and Murong Yan walking out side by side. She doesn’t know what they were talking about, but it seemed like Yu Wenjun was listening attentively.

Yu Qingjia didn’t believe what people said in the past. How can a man be seduced by a vixen at will? That he wouldn’t care about the life and death of his wife and daughter from then on?

But now, her own father’s actions have really slapped her in the face.

He can even tolerate his own concubine meeting outside men in private to give him a cuckold. She is so angry, but also felt strangely aggrieved.

When Yu Wenjun saw her, his body froze and a fatherly smile immediately appeared in his eyes, “Jiajia.”

He had obviously forgotten what he said two days ago when he was trying to fool Yu Qingjia.

“Father.” Yu Qingjia gave a quick salute to him with a stern face, then her gaze fell on Murong Yan, and said in a cold tone, “Father, I heard that you gave her the key and the pair of cards?”

Yu Wenjun did not expect his daughter to come over to talk about this matter. This is not a big deal, Prince Langya is not really a woman of the backyard, not to mention that he had another identity, giving him the power to manage the backyard is obviously more beneficial to their grand plan.
