21. Night Intrusion (2)

Murong Yan immediately jolted upright, he looked around with a sharp and clear gaze. Since he wasn't able to sleep properly, his eyes still looked bloodshot, which gave off an even more murderous air around him. Yu Qingjia had already woken up, she was holding the quilt and didn't know what to do, she saw the bed curtain being lifted up, and then Murong Yan's icy cold and bitter face appeared after,

“What's wrong?”

Yu Qingjia's hand clutching the quilt became tighter and tighter, she stammered a little, unable to say a word. The more Murong Yan saw her expression, the more suspicious he became, and he leaned over to tug at her quilt. Yu Qingjia was so startled and hurriedly grabbed the quilt tightly, and wrestled with Muyong Yan, “It's nothing… It's just my little days have arrived.”

Murong Yan was stunned for a moment then asked, “What had arrived?”

Yu Qingjia's face turned even redder. She has been sleeping and eating on the road the past few days, and her little days hadn't arrived on time, so she was definitely worried. She did not expect it to suddenly visit her at this time. She was obviously unprepared for this, and had thought that if she mentioned it to a peer in a subtle way, they would immediately understand. But Murong Yan's gaze was still suspicious, his hand was still clutching the other end of the quilt and did not relax at all. Looking at his expression it seemed that he was still very suspicious of what was under her quilt.

Yu Qingjia's face was blushing, and she wanted to hide her existence. She then said in a muffled voice, “I-It's my menstruation… I got a cold before, so it came especially fiercely this time…”

Menstruation? Murong Yan went through that word in his mind over and over again. He then let go of the hand clutching her quilt immediately, then took several steps back. He clenched his fists to his mouth, tilted his head and coughed. He didn't even know where to put his eyes.

He was young and inexperienced, so of course, he wouldn't know what a woman would call their “little days” were, but menstruation… Of course he knows what it was. Murong Yan was really embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, and Yu Qingjia was rubbing her stomach, then turned her head to look at him in disgust, “What are you doing standing there stupidly? Go get the menstrual belt!”

The redness on Murong Yan's head spread from the tip of his ears to his neck, and he popped out a few words from his teeth almost word for word, “How would I have such a thing here?”

“Don't you have one here?” Yu Qingjia looked at him in surprise, and then immediately found reasons for the other party herself, “That's right, we just came back, and the things in the house are not yet fully set. Then you can go to my room and get my menstrual belt. It is in one of the bottom drawers of the wicker cabinet next to the bed.”

Murong Yan was standing still, and the heat on his face had gradually subsided a little, but now it was flooding back again. When Yu Qingjia saw that he wasn't moving, she thought that he was unwilling to go out and be exposed to the night wind, so she acted coquettishly and held her stomach pitifully, saying, “Vixen, I got caught in the rain before, and got a cold and then we've been constantly running around after that, and it hurts.”

Yu Qingjia grew up under the pampering of her elders since she was young, and she was used to being coquettish with Bai Zhi, her mother, and everyone else in the household. So now with a swirling end tone, she is acting as delicate and coquettish to Murong Yan as she was towards the others. Murong Yan never knew that women could not even get wet in the rain, and that if they did they would be this fragile. He also saw that although Yu Qingjia had a spirited attitude, her face was indeed pale, and her hand had been pressing on her lower abdomen. He suddenly realized where he was looking at, and hurriedly took his eyes back, inclined his head and coughed low, then quickly turned around and walked towards the outside.

Yu Qingjia was stunned by his stiff attitude, so she propped herself up with one hand and peeked half her head out from the bed curtain, “Do you remember where the menstrual belt was placed?”

“Keep quiet.” Murong Yan's tone was quite harsh, and when he finally walked out of the courtyard, he was immediately blown away by the autumn night wind. His feverish mind finally cleared up a little. Let's not mention the fact that he had to help a woman get such intimate and private things, he doesn't even know what a menstrual belt looks like!

⚘

Murong Yan stood outside the door, trying to ignore the rustling sounds inside. If he really did not know anything, it would be fine, but he grew up in the imperial family, the environment inside the palace itself should have enlightened him about these matters earlier on. His hand was so stiff that he couldn't even stretch it, and when he thought of where that thing that had passed through his hand would touch Yu Qingjia, he felt his blood flowing backwards all over his body and he felt even dizzy.

Yu Qingjia finally tidied herself up. She pushed open the door, blushed slightly, and whispered to Murong Yan, “It's okay now.”

Even if a girl of the same age bumped into this kind of thing, she would still feel embarrassed.

However, it seemed that the vixen was more concerned about what happened just now than she was. Ever since he entered the room, Murong Yan has been walking around avoiding her, and the bed was even moved to the side of the wall. The two of them didn't even make eye contact. Yu Qingjia also felt embarrassed later on. She laid down on the brocade quilt, closed her eyes and tried to sleep for a while, but when she thought that the vixen was really nice to her, she couldn't help but say, “Just now vixen, Thank you.”

The night was quiet, and Yu Qingjia did not wait for a response, she sighed inwardly, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

The next day when Yu Qingjia woke up, the room had long since been rid of the traces of Murong Yan. She was already used to this. She knew that Murong Yan's routine was much stricter than hers. So she sat upright for a while and got up on her own.

This time, the menstrual period came with great vigor, and Yu Qingjia's face was pale and her abdomen was vaguely painful. However, it happened that the room was also leaking in the rain all night.

When she went to pay her respects to Yu Laojun, she immediately heard her say, “The Fourth young lady reminded me of my previous offering to the Buddha, and that I still have not yet fulfilled my wish. Go back and prepare yourselves to go to the Immeasurable Temple tomorrow to listen to the teachings of the Buddha with me.”

In the Yu family, everytime Yu Laojun made a decree, no one would dare to disagree. So the next day, Yu Qingjia and Murong Yan put on the curtain hats and boarded the carriage one after another.

Yu Qingjia had just stepped on the low stool when a voice suddenly came from behind her, “Sixth sister, please wait.”

Yu Qingjia was surprised to turn around and found Yu Qingya hurrying over. The smile on her face was so warm and fake that it made people uncomfortable, but she pretended to be intimate and wrapped her arms around Yu Qingjia, “I haven't seen Sixth Sister for a long time, so I have a lot of things to talk about with my Sixth Sister. So I'd like to ride the same carriage with my sister today.”

(T/N: Please say No! Also, Poor Murong Yan, hahaha I bet Yu Qingjia would heavily regret this once she learned that he was a guy. XD)
