Chapter 434 Don’t Pray
Mu Qing didn't realize what a stand-in meant at first, but after considering the content of the comics drawn by Hu Xiner, he finally had some idea.
After he completely understood what was going on, he couldn't help but feel extremely angry and couldn't help but slap Hu Xiner's forehead hard.
Hu Xin'er's tears, which had just stopped, began to fall again. She covered her forehead and cried, "We're about to get a divorce, and you still, you still hit me!"
Mu Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I hit you. It's all because of my hard heart and lack of understanding. A heartless and ungrateful man like me deserves to be abandoned. When I die, I want to be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell. Don't you agree?"
"You, why are you saying that to yourself?" Hu Xin'er cried even harder. Ever since they got married, Mu Qing had never spoken to her in such a harsh tone.
Mu Qing hugged her tightly, but the words he uttered were cold and arrogant: "Since you want to divorce me, why do you still care about me?"
Hu Xin'er listened to his questioning, feeling extremely aggrieved. "We haven't even signed the divorce papers yet, and you're so mean to me? It'll be even worse later."
"You were the one who made me angry first." Even though they were quarreling, Mu Qing couldn't bear to see her so sad. After hearing her accusation, he couldn't help but soften his tone.
He held Hu Xin'er's hand and placed it on his heart, his eyes full of helplessness and affection: "As husband and wife, can't you really feel my feelings?"
His eyes were deep, filled with hidden expectation. Hu Xiner's natural obsession with looks kicked in, and she was distracted for a moment, staring at him blankly.
Mu Qing whispered, "Stop saying such hurtful things. We finally managed to escape death, and you're breaking up with me because of something like this? Xin'er, are you doubting our relationship?"
He wiped Hu Xiner's tears with extremely gentle and caring movements.
"Aren't you afraid that I'm a ghost?" Hu Xiner asked anxiously, feeling the strong heartbeat under her palm.
Mu Qing held her in his arms: "Even if you are a ghost, you are the cutest ghost in the world, much cuter than some people."
"But the original Hu Xiner..." She hesitated for a moment and asked again.
Mu Qing sighed, "What can we do if this is her fate? When we get out, we'll build a cenotaph for her, so that she can be reborn into a good family soon."
If Hu Xin'er had not traveled through time, even if the original owner had not died in the drowning incident, she would have been tightly controlled by the Hu family. Her personality was not as outgoing as Hu Xin'er's, so it was impossible for her to recognize the royal family.
Of course, the royal family’s complicated relationships might not have been a good family for the original owner.
Hu Xin'er said softly: "I thought..."
She stopped talking mid-sentence and looked at Jiang Yao nervously.
Jiang Yao was eating melon with her head propped up, and at the same time admiring Yin Li's expression as she rolled her eyes in anger.
Noticing Hu Xin'er's gaze, she said nonchalantly, "Who you are has nothing to do with me. As long as Mu Qing accepts you, that's all that matters."
Hu Xiner was stunned. She thought Jiang Yao would oppose her. After all, this aunt had never been an easy person to talk to.
But who could have thought that Jiang Yao would be so calm.
"I'm a ghost..." Hu Xin'er asked weakly, "Aunt, you didn't understand my identity, did you?"
Jiang Yao resisted the urge to roll her eyes and glanced at her calmly: "Do you know magic? Can you lift your feet off the ground? Does being a ghost have any impact on our Lu family?"
Hu Xiner quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, even if I were a ghost, I wouldn't harm anyone."
Jiang Yao made the final decision: "You married into the Lu family. You are a member of our Lu family in life and a ghost of our Lu family in death. What's so strange about this?"
Huh? What kind of logic is this?
There's a big difference between living people and dead ghosts, right?
Hu Xiner opened her mouth to refute, but saw a mischievous smile flash across Jiang Yao's beautiful eyes.
She suddenly realized that her aunt must have wanted to change the subject and tease her because she saw how sad she was.
She wiped her eyes, and her vision gradually became clear. The expressions of everyone in the Zen room fell into her sight.
There is no suspicion, fear or rejection as imagined, only full of care and worry.
She couldn't help but burst into tears, and finally, with the tolerance of her relatives and friends, she let go of her biggest knot in her heart.
Mu Qing asked softly, "Why are you crying again?"
Hu Xin'er couldn't stop her tears from falling, but the corners of her lips lifted up: "I'm just so happy, it's great to meet you!"
Mu Qing's eyes were full of pity: "Silly girl, meeting you is the greatest luck in my life."
He coaxed Hu Xiner for a long time before her emotions slowly calmed down.
Yin Li suddenly said, "Actually, I think it's good to break up..."
Before she even finished speaking, Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows and said, "Shut up!"
Yin Li also knew that her attempt to steal someone's girlfriend was a bit too obvious, so she fanned herself angrily and said nothing more.
Hu Xin'er was already exhausted, but she forced herself to speak, "I've always wanted to do something for the original Hu Xin'er, but I was afraid of being discovered, so I gave up. Now that this matter has been exposed, I want to pray for her and let her find a good family!"
Everyone nodded silently. Although they didn't mind Hu Xin'er's identity, it was reasonable for them to pray for her since Hu Xin'er had occupied someone else's body after all.
Yin Li frowned: "You don't want to pray in this temple?"
"Is there any problem?" Hu Xin'er asked doubtfully, "I think this temple should be quite spiritual."
Although the little monk was very rude to them, he rescued them after all, which shows his kindness and also proves that this temple does not worship any demons or evil gods.
Although it is not far from the capital, it has never appeared in the sight of people in the capital, and even people like Taoist Yiqing have never seen it.
The little monk spoke in a very mysterious way. Although everyone was on guard, they had to admit that this place was quite mysterious. And doesn't the mystery of a temple mean that it is effective?
"Although this place does have some magical power, it's not suitable for praying." Yin Li unconsciously took out the fan and tapped it on the palm of his hand, "You'd better give up this plan as soon as possible."
"Why?" Hu Xiner knew that because she had to guard against the prince's pursuit, she would rarely have the opportunity to visit temples like Lingyin Temple in the rest of her journey.
Yin Li's obstruction made her very puzzled.
Yin Li didn't want to say it at first, but under her constant nagging, she could only sigh and say, "This temple was burned down by a sudden fire 50 years ago!"
