32. Willingness (1)

Yu Qingjia's eyes were wide open, and deliberately provocative, she then said,

“… To teach you benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and integrity, and learn the righteousness of a gentleman.”

She didn't believe that there were students who couldn't be taught well, and people who couldn't be converted from the wrong path.

She must bring Murong Yan back to the right path.

Murong Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked down at his hands, because Yu Qingjia was deliberately provoking trouble, and the old books were scattered everywhere, even the scrolls that Murong Yan was reading were also covered.

He really felt that Yu Qingjia was being childish, only a three-year-old would use this method of revenge.

Murong Yan really didn't want to respond to this kind of mentally retarded provocation, but Yu Qingjia seemed to have been stimulated. She sat across from him with her arms folded. Then with a serious expression on her face she said,

“Since my father brought you back to our family, you are already considered part of the Yu family, and we don't care what you do. I don't want anything from you, but I don't want my Father's reputation to be tarnished because of you. You are reckless, ungrateful, and unrepentant. You are not acting like a gentleman at all! My father's passion and integrity is widely known and respected. The good reputation he's built for half his life must not be ruined by you. So from now on, I will supervise your reading. These books are written by famous sages in history, and my father has marked the annotations next to them, so if you read them sincerely, it will be very helpful.”

Murong Yan's eyes moved when he heard the first sentence, but when he heard the last part he didn't even have the heart to pretend anymore.

He thought to himself, since Yu Qingjia grew up reading that “Human nature is inherently good”, she's definitely a fool.

Although Murong Yan seemed to be indifferent, Yu Qingjia was not discouraged.

She personally picked and chose from a pile of books and volumes, then took out one of the scrolls, untied the rope and spread it flat in front of Murong Yan, completely suppressing the scrolls he was originally reading.

Murong Yan picked it up with one hand and was about to throw it away, when Yu Qingjia said “Ah”, and rushed to stop it,

“This is my father's book, you are not allowed to throw it away!”

Yu Qingjia was half-kneeling on the couch, one hand supporting the desk, the other reaching out for the book in his hand.

When Murong Yan heard Yu Qingjia's words, he didn't really throw the book away, but he let her hold his wrist and put it back on the desk. Yu Qingjia patted the book distressedly, and re-folded it.

Her eyes like a deer, fluttering with anticipation and encouragement.

Murong Yan and Yu Qingjia confronted each other for a while, but he was eventually defeated.

'Forget it!'

He does not compete with the stupid. Since she's being delusional and thinking that it could change anything, then he'd just go along and browse around to pass the time.

After seeing that Murong Yan seemed to be showing signs of softening, Yu Qingjia immediately smiled, stood up and took the books below it away. This is the book that Murong Yan was reading just now.

Yu Qingjia opened it curiously, pointed to the writing on it, and asked,

“Did you write this?”

“Mm.”

Yu Qingjia let out a low sigh and fiddled around in amazement. Slowly tracing after Murong Yan's handwriting.

When Murong Yan saw Yu Qingjia holding his own book and reading it, a strange feeling somehow surged up in his heart. It was like a hand had gently touched somewhere in it and enveloping him.

Murong Yan silently looked for a while and asked,

“Why did you come back again?”

Yu Qingjia pretended not to hear it, and continued to fiddle with the scrolls. Murong Yan was not in a hurry, he just quietly looked at her intently. After a while, Yu Qingjia could not stand his scrutiny anymore, curled her lips and said,

“I don't want to go outside to see those people.”

Yu Laojun, Yu Qingya, and Prince Yingchuan, one is even more annoying than the other. She doesn't want to go out.

Murong Yan was really surprised. When he was in the Eastern Palace, he had a huge following of supporters. No matter where he went, he enjoyed the attention and pursuit of the crowd.

Therefore, he instinctively felt that everyone loves to be around people with power. No one would refuse it, even if the man was ugly, pot-bellied, or even if they were as old as your ancestor, if he had both wealth and power in his hands, women would still flock him.

Murong Yan doesn't believe in feelings, doesn't believe in loyalty, and doesn't believe in any true love between husband and wife.

He only knows that no matter how much he treats them sincerely, if they meet a more powerful person, the other party will definitely abandon him and choose power after deliberating over it.

Obviously, Murong Xu is the one in power right now. He was also of the right age and appearance, as long as Murong Xu shows interest, no woman will refuse.

Liao Zheng is like this, and Yu Qingjia will be like this too.

Even a maid knows how to secretly take refuge to a more favored master and use all means to climb up the ladder.

Even the maids are like this, let alone these noble ladies?

The women of the Yu family who were not yet betrothed must have been dressed up by their mothers and sent to Yu Laojun to pay their respects at this moment, but Yu Qingjia was not in a hurry, and no one even came to inform her, so she is becoming even more relaxed.

“Why?”

Murong Yan asked.

Why did she choose to come back to find him, rather than choose to be with Murong Xu who was more prosperous than him?

Yu Qingjia didn't take it seriously, and flipped through the scrolls, and said,

“It must be very lively at Yu Laojun's place now. Having another person is not too many, and I don't think they would care if there are one less, so why bother to join in the fun?”

“But he is still a prince, you are constantly being suppressed by the Main household and Yu Qingya, even those mole-like servant girls dare to neglect you. Yet as long as you choose him, all your current problems will be solved.”

“Not necessarily.”

Yu Qingjia's expression turned solemn, she then put down the scroll on her hand and said,

“Yu Laojun is still prejudiced against me, Yu Qingya will also become even more aggressive, and most importantly, I don't like Prince Yingchuan. I don't want to be a princess, nor do I want to seek a title for myself, I don't want anything else, I only want to follow my heart and do what I like.”

Murong Yan caught a key word very keenly,

“Like? You're saying you dislike him a lot?”

“Not just him, but also the whole Murong family.”

Yu Qingjia lowered her voice, she then secretly said to Murong Yan,

“Their bloodline is not very good, one is crazier than the other, in short, you won't find a good person in that family.”

(T/N: *cough* Oh Yu Qingjia if you only knew that a Murong family member is in front of you.)
