Chapter 366: Chapter 366 - 366 Coming

366 Coming

“It’s not soft. It’s hard.”

Little Ah Yu pinched the round candy with her index finger and thumb. When she heard Ouyang Changjing’s words, she specially squeezed it hard.

She was also a little curious. Why did this uncle say that the candy was soft1?

“Cough, cough!” Ouyang Pei was originally leaning against the wall at the side. After walking for so long, he was indeed tired. Just as he closed his eyes to rest, he heard Ouyang Changjing’s voice.

!!

When he opened his eyes, he saw Little Ah Yu.

He immediately choked on his saliva.

“She’s really identical to Ruan Ruan when she was young!” Ouyang Pei walked towards Little Ah Yu and wanted to reach out to pinch her face.

In the end, his hand was slapped away by a pair of small hands.

Liu’er’s face turned red. She stood in front of Little Ah Yu like a mother hen protecting her chick.

“Who are you? You’re not allowed to pinch Ah Yu. She’ll be hurt!” Liu’er said righteously.

Little Ah Yu also nodded vigorously from behind. “Yes, yes. You can’t pinch.”

Only her Mother and Grandma could pinch her face.

And even they could not bear to pinch her!

“Uncle was too rash. I’m sorry.” Ouyang Pei clenched his fists and coughed. Then, he turned his head and asked Ye Yuncang in a low voice, “This is the little girl you mentioned, right?”

Ye Yuncang nodded.

Originally, Ouyang Pei did not believe Ye Yuncang’s words. But she really looked exactly the same. After seeing Little Ah Yu, Ouyang Pei had no choice but to believe it.

If this was not Ruan Ruan’s child, he would twist his head off and kick it like a ball!

Ouyang Changjing, who was at the side, was already stunned.

He had practically raised Ruan Ruan himself. From the time she was in her infancy to when she left, Ouyang Changjing still remembered her appearance at every stage.

At every stage, she would look different from before, but the only thing that did not change was her beautiful eyes.

There were golden threads in her eyes. That was a symbol only the direct descendants of the Ouyang Royal Family had.

If the direct descendants formed a branch family, this trademark feature would slowly fade.

The golden threads in other people’s eyes were not obvious, but Ruan Ruan’s eyes were very bright, as if the sun in the sky were shining in her eyes.

There was also that small mouth. The shape of her lips was especially beautiful, and it was also a feature that would not change.

As soon as Ouyang Changjing saw Little Ah Yu, he immediately recalled Ruan Ruan’s appearance when she was four or five years old.

She looked exactly like the little girl in front of him!

“Elf, the way they’re looking at my eyes is like Sixth Brother looking at candy,” Little Ah Yu said to Meatball in her heart. “I’m a little afraid.”

[Don’t be afraid. They’re not bad people. They don’t have any ill intentions towards you.]

Meatball looked at the rapidly increasing favorability index and said to Little Ah Yu with certainty.

However, Little Ah Yu still felt a little worried. She could only muster her courage again and say to Ouyang Changjing, “Uncle, I’m going back to look for Mother. Mother will be sad if she doesn’t see me.”

With that, Little Ah Yu pulled Liu’er and ran away.

Fortunately, Liu’er’s body was gradually recuperating. Otherwise, if she was pulled around by Little Ah Yu and had to squeeze through the crowd, she would definitely faint from exhaustion.

Ouyang Pei walked up to Ouyang Changjing and asked him in a low voice, “Your High- Changjing, what do you think?”

“Are we still going to Puji Temple?”

Ouyang Changjing said, “Go.”

Since they had already seen the girl, they did not have to worry that the other party was not here. They left two people to follow her and the rest went to Puji Temple to rest.

When the time came to take the little girl away, she should not see them in such a travel-worn state.

Seeing the little girl’s snow-white and cute appearance, the family that raised her must be very good to her now. Therefore, if they wanted the other party to let her go, they naturally could not look too down and out.

They had to give them a reason to trust them.

On the way to Puji Temple, the annoying mountain path that they were originally dreading seemed much more acceptable because they had already seen Little Ah Yu in advance. Everyone’s expressions were more relaxed.

With the huge burden lifted from their heart, they did not have to worry about personal gains and losses anymore.

Ouyang Pei looked at Ye Yuncang a few times.

Ye Yuncang wiped his forehead. “What’s wrong? Do you suddenly think that I’m more handsome than you and are jealous?”

Ouyang Pei first retched a few times to the side before saying to Ye Yuncang, “I’m just a little regretful now. I thought that it would take a lot of twists and turns to see the child. In the end, we saw her as soon as we arrived and didn’t spend much effort. Doesn’t this mean that you tricked us into helping you build a temple in the West Wind Capital previously!”

“You only realized it now?” Ye Yuncang took out a folding fan from somewhere and waved it in front of him. He sighed with emotion. “It’s been many years since we last met, but your brain hasn’t improved at all. When have you ever seen me take a loss?”

What a joke. Ever since he, Ye Yuncang, was born, he had never talked about fairness.

Naturally, he wanted his own benefits to far exceed the other party’s.

Ouyang Pei gritted his teeth and immediately wanted to fight with Ye Yuncang on the mountain path.

Ouyang Changjing frowned. “Shut up, the two of you!”

As he was still wearing the clothes of a guard, the monks of Puji Temple often turned to look at Ouyang Changjing.

Even Yun Zhi was shaking his head. He took the opportunity to educate the little monk beside him. “Look, our Great Chang is still the one who talks logically. At the very least, the head of the family can’t be controlled by a guard.”

However, just as she finished speaking, he heard Ye Yuncang’s voice coming from afar. “Senior Brother, leave those few large rooms for us tonight and prepare some good wine and dishes. Don’t bring those unpresentable vegetarian food.”

Yuan Zhi was so angry that his eyebrows were raised. “Who are you ordering around?! I’m the abbot now!”

“Looks like Senior Brother thinks 2,000 taels is enough. In that case…”

...

“Sigh, we’re a family. Why are you saying so much? I’ll leave your previous room for you. No one has stayed there. I’ve even sent someone to clean it from time to time. I’ll get someone to buy a few chickens and ducks at the foot of the mountain later. I guarantee that you’ll be able to eat to your fill.” Yuan Zhi’s expression instantly changed.

The little monk beside him opened his mouth. “Abbot, didn’t you just say—”

“What did I say? Do you listen to what I usually say? Hurry up, don’t dawdle until it’s dark!”

The little monk: “…”

On the other side, Little Ah Yu pulled Liu’er back to the stall.

As the two places were only dozens of steps apart, the round trip only delayed them for a short while.

Liu Shi had just realized that Little Ah Yu was gone. When she turned around, she saw Little Ah Yu running over, panting.

“Where did you go? Didn’t you say that you wanted to stay with Mother? Don’t scare Mother.” Liu Shi couldn’t bear to scold Little Ah Yu, so she could only say this calmly.

Little Ah Yu hurriedly said, “I saw an uncle just now, so I went to deliver candy to him. I came back after that!”

Liu’er originally wanted to say that those uncles looked a little strange.

However, she saw that Little Ah Yu did not say anything. She thought for a while. She did not seem to be as smart as her friend. She was afraid that if she said it, Little Ah Yu would be scolded, so she kept her mouth shut.

...

Liu Shi held Little Ah Yu’s hand and was about to go back when she bumped into an especially gorgeous carriage at the entrance of Old man Wang’s courtyard.

Although it was said to be especially gorgeous, that was because they had never seen such a beautiful carriage in the entire town.

Moreover, it had squeezed through the crowd.

When Liu Shi walked around the carriage, she subconsciously hugged Little Ah Yu, but her waist was hit hard and she fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

“Mother, where are you injured?! Let me take a look!” Little Ah Yu was extremely anxious.

When Chi Tu and the others saw this scene, they hurriedly appeared.

They originally wanted to scold the owner of the carriage, but they saw a pair of fair hands lift the curtain.

First, a person dressed as a maid walked out.

When the person behind came out, Chi Tu subconsciously knelt on the ground.

“Greetings, Madam!”
