23. Illness (1)

When their carriage finally arrived at the Immeasurable Temple, the others had indeed long since arrived. Yu Laojun stood at the entrance, supported by the maid, and when he saw that Yu Qingjia and Yu Qingya were late, she complained immediately,

“Why did you just arrive?”

Yu Qingya was in such a good mood because she had managed to achieve her goal. She did not care about Yu Laojun's cold expression, and familiarly held her arm then smiled pleasantly,

“Great Grandmother, This granddaughter just saved someone along the way, so I was delayed on the road, please forgive me.”

Once she heard that she had saved someone along the way, Yu Laojun's face instantly looked much better, and the others saw the opportunity to interject and praise Yu Qingya for her kind heart and benevolence, and Yu Laojun's profound merit. Yu Laojun was in a very good mood, so she did not pursue their tardiness, and held Yu Qingya with one hand while pulling Madam Li with the other, and walked with them towards the Buddha Hall of the Immeasurable Temple.

Yu Qingjia was left behind, and she did not feel neglected. Instead she was happy and at ease. She slowly pulled away from the Yu family crowd and quietly asked Murong Yan who was beside her,

“Vixen, what kind of tricks do you think Yu Qingya was playing?”

Murong Yan glanced at Yu Qingjia lightly, and asked instead of answering,

“What do you think?”

“I think something is very weird about her today. She had always looked down on me ever since we were born, and she usually has to sit at a separate table for dinner at home to show off her first daughter's prestige, so how could she take the initiative to ask to share a carriage with me today?”

For some unknown reason, Murong Yan was in the mood to tease her so he casually said his thoughts and asked with a smile,

“What if it's really as she said, that she hasn't seen you for a long time and misses you so much that she wants to come over and talk to you?”

Yu Qingjia was not polite, sneered nonchalantly and said,

“No way, if she really wanted to talk to me, it's been a long time since I've arrived home, so why did she choose to talk to me when we were traveling? Moreover, She deliberately mentioned the Immeasurable Temple in front of Yu Laojun yesterday, and today she kept looking around as soon as she got on the carriage…”

She slightly lowered her voice at this point, deliberately leaned closer to Murong Yan and said,

“Tell me, do you think she knows this will happen on the road in advance, so she deliberately asked Yu Laojun to come to the temple, then ride on the same carriage as us?”

The light In Murong Yan's eyes immediately flickered. Did she know about it in advance? This is definitely not a trivial matter. Murong Yan thought so in his heart, but he was still a principled man in his actions, he reached out his hand to Yu Qingjia's head and pushed it away,

“This idea of yours is bold. Why do you think so?”

Yu Qingjia was suddenly pushed away, she gritted her teeth and glared at Murong Yan, she then indignantly tidied up her crushed hair,

“You're so annoying, I'm talking to you seriously.”

Although Yu Qingjia said this, she wasn't really angry. Just now Murong Yan pushed her using his palm, you know the first time they first met, this person only used a finger to push her away in disgust. So compared to today, he definitely improved a lot. She thought of this and felt very sad. Was she so used to being abused by him too much, so something went wrong with her brain?

Yu Qingjia walked beside him with her mouth pouted, Murong Yan looked relaxed, and even urged her with a smile,

“Quickly tell me, why do you think Yu Qingya knew what was going to happen?”

Yu Qingjia Stammered a little, of course it was because she knew that Yu Qingya was reborn. Combined with today's anomaly, it was not difficult for her to deduce that according to the original trajectory of the previous timeline, she should have saved that man with a goatee, and he was obviously grateful to her and became the accountant under her name. The fact that Yu Qingya is so impatient today, she could infer that he was probably quite capable. But she couldn't tell Murong Yan these words, so she could only vaguely say,

“I guessed it casually, there is a story in Buddhism, where a woman suddenly told her parents that she had already lived once, and can tell exactly who she will marry, when her father will be promoted, and even where she will die in what month and year. Both her parents were amazed, but the subsequent events all confirmed the woman's words, and then the woman died unexpectedly, the cause of death and the location was exactly the same as what she once said. I think this story is very interesting, but also happens to explain Yu Qingya's actions, so that's why I guessed.”

Murong Yan also knew this story in the Buddhist scriptures, however, this story is mainly to prove the Buddhist concept of reincarnation, that all things have a fixed number, it was also a way to convince believers to donate money to charity. He did not expect Yu Qingjia to explain today's events from this perspective.

After Yu Qingjia spouted a lot of nonsense for a long time, she saw Murong Yan's pensive appearance and she felt very bored inside, so she grabbed his curtain hat and changed the subject,

“You have entered the Immeasurable Temple already, why are you still wearing the curtain hat? Don't you feel stifled wearing this for too long?”.

Ever since they came to Yanzhou, Murong Yan has been acting like a different person, as long as he went outside, he would always be covered with a curtain hat. He was also so quiet and dignified, which made Yu Qingjia, a young lady from a noble family, feel ashamed. She was so restless. Murong Yan flicked the back of her hand to loosen her hold, but she snorted inwardly, and refused to stop even more. Murong Yan had no choice but to trap both of her wrists and said,

“No fooling around outside, stay still.”

Yu Qingjia struggled hard, and found that her two hands were still no match for Murong Yan's single hand strength. She was incredulous and couldn't help but reflect, was she too lazy to exercise?

But after such a quibble, the awkwardness between Yu Qingjia and Murong Yan for the past two days dissipated imperceptibly. Although she didn't know where she had offended this ancestor, she was obviously fine, but ever since she had her period in the middle of the night last time, Murong Yan had been deliberately avoiding her, and even when she met with him, he wouldn't even say anything nor smile at her.

Yu Qingjia told herself that 'She' was just simply being a freak, and generously let the matter go, not caring about those petty eyes. At this time, the backs of the members of the Yu family were no longer visible, and she was not in a hurry, she was walking slowly to enjoy the scenery of the Immeasurable Temple. She thought about what had happened earlier, but still felt terrible about it. It seems that the accountant was originally her subordinate, but she did not expect him to be snatched away by Yu Qingya's reborn eyes. She originally thought that Yu Qingya just wanted to grab the credit, and the maid she sent over was also very rude when she sent the money over. She knew that all capable people have their own pride, the accountant should be very displeased with Yu Qingya's actions, so she proposed to let the accountant decide for himself. Now the good thing Is, it seems like she was lifting a stone to smash her own foot, because he was still robbed away by Yu Qingya.
