Chapter 1106 The Mu Qi Family?
Ao Xue directly retorted, "Ayin? Does giving her such a name mean she's lewd? Her behavior is so frivolous, she really is lewd."
Yue Anying was furious and wanted to slap her across the face, but Ao Xue's aura was too strong, which made her slowly lower her raised hand. She didn't have her golden toad with her, otherwise those arrogant eyes would definitely be delicious.
"Aoxue, how can you make such a joke?"
Ao Xue took a half step back, feeling inexplicably annoyed by the woman in front of her.
Jiang Fenghua then said, "My surname is Jiang, and my given name is Ruan. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Ayin."
A hint of amusement flashed in Yue Anying's eyes. "Young Master Jiang Ruan's name is really unique! It sounds like a woman's name, but my name is Ying, not Yin. It's the Ying of 'Yingying Qiushui' (meaning 'bright and clear autumn water')."
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "So you are Miss Aying. I have already told you my full name. Why are you unwilling to reveal your real surname? Could it be that your surname is A?"
Yue Anying naturally couldn't tell her her real name, so she blinked and said, "My surname is Mu Qi, and you may call me A Ying, young master."
Jiang Fenghua's expression changed slightly, and she blurted out, "Mu Qi Aying, the surname Mu Qi is very special, unlike surnames from the Central Plains. Aren't you from the Central Plains, young lady?"
Yue Anying smiled slightly, "Of course I am from the Central Plains. My family is from a small mountain village in a very remote place. Everyone in our village is surnamed Mu Qi."
"Actually, my family can be considered from the Central Plains, but we can also not. We live quite far from here." Her voice was sweet and coquettish, her eyes darting around Jiang Fenghua. "Young Master Jiang, you're welcome to visit my home sometime!"
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "Miss Mu Qi is so hospitable. I hope I will have the opportunity to visit your hometown in the future!"
This girl's surname is Mu Qi. So, after the Mu Qi family survived, they also migrated to the Central Plains. Did the Mu Qi family not change their surname?
At this moment, Feng Qingyu helped Gongsun Lan arrive. Gongsun Lan had been feeling unwell due to her pregnancy and had been vomiting incessantly, so Feng Qingyu helped her to the carriage to rest.
Gongsun Ling was wandering around the temple, and he was nowhere to be seen at this time.
When they saw Jiang Fenghua and Yue Anying walking so close, they became wary. Feng Qingyu called out, "Ruan Ruan."
They quickly approached, trying to get Jiang Fenghua away from the woman in front of her.
"Uncle." Jiang Fenghua thought to herself, didn't they leave because they couldn't stand the incense in the temple?
Feng Qingyu quickly stopped her, "Is everything settled? If it is, let's go back!"
Jiang Fenghua was stunned. Weren't they supposed to stay overnight to investigate the Living Buddha Temple? Why were they leaving?
She said, "Master Pudu has agreed to perform the ritual for my third uncle, but there are still some details to discuss. We'll probably have to stay at the Living Buddha Temple tonight."
Feng Qingyu was trying to convey that the Living Buddha Temple was dangerous, and the woman in white in front of him was dangerous, so they should leave first and then make further plans. Ruan Ruan couldn't understand what he meant.
Gongsun Lan winked at him, and he said, "We're all hungry. Let's go eat first and then we can discuss it."
Seeing that Feng Qingyu was indeed very handsome and a real man, Yue Anying said, "I'm hungry too, why don't we eat together? Young master, you don't mind, do you?"
Hearing his voice, Feng Qingyu felt goosebumps all over her body and felt extremely uncomfortable. What's more, she looked so seductive and disgusting.
He refused outright, saying, "Of course I mind. My wife would also mind if there were other women at the table."
Feng Qingyu's words immediately made Yue Anying feel ashamed. She looked at Gongsun Lan and thought that she was plain-looking, dressed casually and tastelessly, and had no femininity at all. It was a waste of such a handsome man.
Gongsun Lan knew that Feng Qingyu was handsome and that girls who liked him lined up to marry him, but she was also very moved that Feng Qingyu had kept his promise to her for so many years and waited for her.
The woman in front of her was staring at Feng Qingyu as if she wanted to devour him, which made her very uncomfortable. She deliberately acted coquettishly, "Husband, my legs are tired and I can't walk anymore. Let's hurry up and find a room to rest!"
Knowing that she had suffered a lot because of her pregnancy, Feng Qingyu picked Gongsun Lan up in his arms without saying a word, saying, "It's not so uncomfortable for you to be held by your husband, is it?"
Feng Qingyu said to the young monk, "Please trouble you to take us to the side room, young master."
The young monk knew these people were all very wealthy, and having already received a benefit, he naturally ran faster than anyone else. "Please come this way, benefactor."
Jiang Fenghua smiled slightly at Yue Anying and said in a deep voice, "Goodbye, Miss Anying."
Yue Anying watched as a group walked towards the side rooms. "I'm staying at the temple tonight too. Qian Shun, go and make the arrangements!"
The temple manager was too stingy and unwilling to donate money for incense offerings, so the monks in the temple didn't want to talk to him.
He said, "It seems like there's a room fee here, and our group needs to book several rooms."
"Of course it's one room. You'll have to pay for all the money you lost." A ruthless glint flashed in Yue Anying's eyes. That night, she had Hongbao gouge out their eyes to see how smug they would be.
Neither Jiang Jian nor Qian Shun moved because it was getting cold, and the temperature in the mountains was even lower at night. The temple was just plain water, and Miss Ying didn't want them to be exposed to the cold wind all night.
"What are you all standing there for? Get to work!"
Jiang Fenghua and the others were taken to the east wing. Hongxiu gave some money to the little monk and asked him to prepare some food and bring it over. Just to be on the safe side, she personally followed the monk to the kitchen.
Gongsun Lan had Aoxue stand guard outside the door, then pulled Jiang Fenghua aside and said in a deep voice, "I remember what that strange smell was like."
Jiang Fenghua asked, "What does it taste like?"
"The white-clad vixen I met at the temple earlier, I felt a familiar scent about her whenever I got close to her."
Do you remember me saying that I fainted when I got close to that jade Buddha? I smelled this disgusting odor then, and they thought I fainted because I was pregnant, but it was actually coming from the golden toad, and she had this smell on her.
Jiang Fenghua's eyes were serious. "She also said her name was Mu Qi Aying."
Feng Qingyu said, "Her surname is Mu Qi. Could she be from the Mu Qi family of Licheng in Yinchuan Kingdom a thousand years ago?"
Jiang Fenghua said, "Perhaps your aunt is her ancestor; she is a descendant of your Mu Qi family."
Gongsun Lan denied it, saying, "I don't have such a slutty junior. Let her die somewhere else. The most important thing now is why she's emitting that stench from the golden toad."
Feng Qingyu said, "Could she be a toad that has become a spirit and transformed into human form?"
Gongsun Lan said, "That's also possible."
Jiang Fenghua disagreed, saying, "Perhaps Mu Qi Aying has that smell because she's been in contact with the golden toad for a long time. When she came close, I also smelled a scent, but she covered it up with thick makeup."
Feng Qingyu said, "So we've found another family that raises toads. The Mu family back then also had toad eggs."
