Murong Yan sat opposite Yu Wenjun, with a leisurely posture and a clean body. The expression on his face was cold, the lines of his side face were sharp and delicate, with clear turns, reflected in the white snow light, almost more dazzling than the snow on the eaves.
The second course of tea water boiled, and Yu Qingjia lowered her head to skim off the tea foam, a surge of anger rose in her heart for no reason.
In the past few days, she was out of her mind because of the rockery, restless, and because she was afraid of embarrassment when meeting each other, she tried to avoid Murong Yan every day. Today was the first official meeting between the two of them after that incident. However, she has been uneasy for so long and wondered what Murong Yan was thinking every day, but this culprit was so radiant and amazing?
The fire in Yu Qingjia's heart rose, and she was very angry, thinking why should she cook tea for Murong Yan? If there is only Murong Yan now, Yu Qingjia must have turned his face, but who made Yu Wenjun sit not far away. Although Yu Qingjia learned of Murong Yan's true identity by mistake, Yu Wenjun didn't know that Yu Qingjia had already understood the truth. Yu Wenjun taught Yu Qingjia the virtues of a gentleman since he was a child, and Yu Qingjia never lied to his father. However, the matter between her and Murong Yan was too complicated. When she didn't know Murong Yan's identity, she even changed clothes in front of Murong Yan and looked for him at night. Murong Yan talked heart-to-heart, slept with Murong Yan and other stupid things, and there was even a monthly letter, and Yu Qingjia accidentally woke Murong Yan up.
Yu Qingjia didn't want to lie to her father, but she didn't want to tell Yu Wenjun these things even more, so Yu Qingjia could only pretend that she didn't know anything and kept it as it was. Now that Yu Wenjun was sitting in front of him, Yu Qingjia couldn't vent his anger, so he deliberately shook his hand when collecting the water at the end, and put a lot of salt in Murong Yan's tea bowl.
Yu Wenjun was in high spirits, chatting with Murong Yan, Yu Qingjia came over with tea and gently put it in front of them.
Murong Yan lowered his head and glanced at his own water, then raised his eyes to look at Yu Qingjia, Yu Qingjia tried his best to pretend to be calm, and looked straight ahead as if nothing had happened. Murong Yan didn't say a word, after Yu Qingjia sat down, he suddenly stopped Yu Qingjia's hand and said, "Wait, I want your bowl."
Yu Qingjia agreed quickly, and exchanged her tea to Murong Yan: "Okay."
Murong Yan lowered his head and took a sip, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he raised his eyes to Yu Qingjia. His eyes were thick and flying, with sharp angles everywhere, and he was always cold and light when looking at people, but at this moment when he looked at Yu Qingjia, he was helpless and indulgent. When he saw Yu Qingjia's vaguely smug expression, a smile inadvertently flashed across his eyes, and the light was shining like gold.
Yu Qingjia deliberately added a lot of salt to the tea, she was more careful, and deliberately changed her own bowl to one with added ingredients, but Murong Yan was really suspicious and wanted to change bowls with her. Yu Qingjia's plan succeeded, and she was very proud, but in front of Murong Yan and Yu Wenjun, she tried her best to smile patiently. She tried her best not to raise the corners of her mouth, but her eyes were bent because of happiness, and there was a faint light inside, which was black and bright.
Yu Qingjia pretended to be serious, and secretly glanced at Murong Yan while no one was paying attention. When Murong Yan noticed it, his eyes chased after him, and Yu Qingjia immediately looked away. Yu Wenjun continued a long talk about Lao Zhuang, his mouth was a little dry, he lowered his head and sipped his tea, when he looked up, he saw Yu Qingjia quickly glanced at Murong Yan, then retracted his eyes and smiled, Murong Yan glanced to the other side lightly He rolled his eyes, and there was a faint smile on his mouth.
Yu Wenjun didn't understand why, but felt a little complicated: "What's the matter, what are you laughing at?"
Murong Yan didn't speak, Yu Qingjia shook her head quickly: "It's nothing, we're talking tea."
"Tea?" Yu Wenjun lowered his head and took another sip, still unable to comprehend the world of these two young people, "Although the heat of the tea is slightly lacking, it's not a big problem."
Yu Wenjun still didn't understand what happened while he was drinking tea with his head down. A few days ago, he suddenly realized that Yu Qingjia and Murong Yan were too close, so he deliberately wanted to separate them. But now that he is sitting here, Yu Qingjia and Murong Yan secretly look at each other and laugh indulgently, and Yu Wenjun can't even understand what they are laughing at.
Yu Wenjun suddenly felt the sadness of an old father.
Thinking back to when he was young, there was a time when he was in love with each other, and Yu Wenjun was sad for a while, but soon he became serious again.
He vaguely heard that Yecheng was not very stable during this time, and the treacherous Prime Minister Yin Yikun was arrogant and conceited, forming a clique for personal gain, even trying to dictate to the army. Most of the military power in the Qi Dynasty was held in the hands of the old general Geng Di, and Yin Yikun was shameless and wanted to put on airs as a prime minister in front of the old general. Geng Di's identity, of course he dismissed Yin Yikun, and coldly invited the lobbyist he sent out. Unexpectedly, Yin Yikun was annoyed by this. Yin Yikun slandered in front of the emperor, saying that Geng Di supported the soldiers and was self-respecting. Of course, the old general Geng Di was wronged by this. Yin Yikun used this to ask Geng Di to hand over the military talisman and go to Beijing. Geng Di refused because of the war.
Now Yecheng is in a state of unrest because of the dispute between General Geng Di and Yin Yikun. The Geng Mansion is neither entering nor retreating. Everyone is waiting to see if the old General Geng Di will leave his post and go to Beijing. If old general Geng bowed his head to Yin Yikun, it would undoubtedly greatly boost Yin Yikun's prestige. For this alone, no one would be able to contend with this villain. But if General Geng refuses this unreasonable request, then with the emperor's suspicious and brutal character, conflicts may be inevitable.
Obviously, no matter how this incident ends, Yecheng will not be able to calm down. Of course, Yu Wenjun didn't want the pillar of the country to be murdered by villains in his heart, but he had to be on the safe side. If General Geng really came to Beijing to show his innocence, no one dared to say what would happen after that. If Northern Zhao took this opportunity to invade the border, Luoyang might be in danger.
They must not just sit back and watch the chaos in the world, when the time comes to judge the situation, I am afraid that Murong Yan's plan to raise troops will be much earlier. There are still many vicissitudes ahead, not to mention that Murong's fickle and suspicious temperament has been passed down from generation to generation. Once a woman enters the deep palace, she can only rely on the unpredictable favor of the emperor. How could Yu Wenjun bear to let Jiajia live such a life. No matter from any point of view, Murong Yan is not a suitable person to entrust his daughter for life.
Yu Wenjun was thinking of an excuse to let Murong Yan leave for a while, so that he could reach a consensus with Jiajia. Yu Wenjun said: "Today's snow scene is very good, suitable for snow walking, how about Jing Huan, is he interested in going outside for a walk?"
Yu Wenjun's topic changed abruptly, and Murong Yan quickly guessed that he wanted to send him to leave. Murong Yan tapped the table three times leisurely with her fingertips, thinking that the time should be almost up.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Murong Yan to think of this, when a servant came hurriedly at the corner of the corridor. The servant clung to Yu Wenjun's ear and said something quickly. Yu Wenjun's face became more and more serious, and finally he didn't even have a trace of a smile. Zhenxiu stood up and said: "There is something important in the main courtyard suddenly, I will go first, excuse me."
Murong Yan nodded lightly, and raised his hand to signal Yu Wenjun to go first. Yu Wenjun didn't even have time to explain to Yu Qingjia, so he just nodded to her hastily and left. Yu Wenjun left in a hurry, so he didn't realize that he wanted to find a topic to distract Murong Yan, but before he could think of a suitable reason, he was dismissed first.
Yu Wenjun left in a hurry, Yu Qingjia looked at his father's back worriedly, couldn't help frowning and thinking about what happened, which made his father lose his composure to this point. Murong Yan's eyes were finally clear, he took a sip of tea slowly, thinking that Yu Qingjia was really willing to give him more food. He saw that Yu Qingjia was still looking at the direction where Yu Wenjun left, and said leisurely: "Don't look, he won't be back in a while."
Yu Qingjia turned around strangely: "How do you know?"
Murong Yan didn't answer, but said nonchalantly: "Just believe it, I won't lie to you."
Why would he know? This is not easy, because Yu Wenjun was sent away because Mr. Yu was poisoned. Not only did Murong Yan know it, but he even ordered it.
"Won't you lie? "Yu Qingjia couldn't help laughing, and glanced at him angrily, "Forget it, if you never favor others, why did you keep it from me for so long? And two days ago, Yu Qingya was tricked so badly, no It's also because I believed in you."
"That's because she's stupid." Murong Yan said lightly, not feeling that there was something wrong with her behavior at all, "She insisted on asking me to cooperate, and when I saw a change in something more favorable, she didn't notice it. It's not her own fault."
Yu Qingjia laughed, and said: "Where in the world do you have the logic of a robber like you, you betrayed yourself halfway, did not reflect on your kindness, and even blamed the victim for not being aware of it in time."
Murong Yan didn't think there was any problem with his logic at all, he stroked the tea bowl with his fingers, and suddenly asked: "Have you been avoiding me these days?"
Yu Qingjia froze for a moment, and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"It's too obvious." Murong Yan's tone was light. He had been looking outside, but now he turned his eyes suddenly, his pupils were dark, and he didn't know whether it was a smile or a killing intent, "Why?"
Yu Qingjia was also annoyed by his questioning tone, her white face gradually turned serious, without a smile, she asked forcefully: "Otherwise? I didn't know it before, but now that I know you are a man, of course I have to avoid suspicion." Do you think that I am such a frivolous person?"
Murong Yan's eyebrows twitched, and she understood the crux of the problem: "Are you concerned about what happened that night?"
Yu Qingjia was already annoyed, but when she heard him mention it in such a flat tone, she became more angry and ashamed: "I don't mind!"
Although Murong Yan said a question, there was not much doubt in his words. Now that he saw Yu Qingjia's performance, he became more and more sure. Murong Yan was thoughtful: "So it's this matter. Because of this matter, you have been hiding from me for so long?"
Yu Qingjia gave Murong Yan a gouged look, gritted her teeth and said, "I've already said no, don't be too sentimental."
Murong Yan looked at Yu Qingjia, his eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, if you say no, then it's not."
Yu Qingjia sat on the couch, her cheeks turned red unknowingly. The steam curling up from the tea bowl wet her eyelashes, Yu Qingjia said to herself, "What do you mean?"
Yu Qingjia's voice was very low, but it was obvious that she couldn't hide it from Murong Yan's ears. Murong Yan's eyes were heavy, she looked at her motionless, and suddenly approached: "What do you think I mean?"
