I survived as a female assassin

The owner of Yuemanlou Inn is the most loyal spectator.

He had been eating since Xin Youran and Leng Yue started arguing, but he never expected that the woman would be taken to the room of the inn's richest guest...

This is the biggest melon he has eaten this year.

It is true that money makes the world go round!

He originally wanted to call out to the richest guest as someone was looking for him, but it seemed that he would not be able to see the guest sitting in the corner tonight.

Xiahou Rui sent her back to the room, took off her shoes personally, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and completely ignored Leng Yue's murderous gaze.

After finishing everything, he still smiled and said, "Miss Yue, sweet dreams."

Then he helped her lower the bed curtains.

Only then did he walk out of the room in a good mood.

As soon as he left the room, his men came to report that Master Ye had been waiting for a long time, and then pointed to the table in the corner downstairs.

Xia Hou Rui nodded, but in his heart he was thinking about the inevitable teasing from Ye Bufan later...

He walked downstairs slowly and sat down at Ye Bufan's table without leaving any trace. It was not until he was so close that he realized that there was a man in a black robe hiding in the corner.

It wasn't until the man noticed his gaze that he took off his hat and smiled calmly, "Long time no see, Your Highness Prince Ning."

Xiahou Rui reflexively looked around to see if there was anyone else. He didn't want to reveal his identity here and even stay in an inn in peace.

Ye Bufan covered his mouth and chuckled, "Don't worry, Your Highness, who else would be here at this hour?"

Xiahou Rui glanced at him sideways, then turned around and looked at the man in black robe again. This sight made his jaw drop!

“Revenge, revenge…”

The real Master Qiu smiled and nodded, "Your Highness made it easy for me to find you..."

"I wonder where the person who made the gardenia ointment is now?"

Ye Bufan hurriedly asked, "Uncle, why are you so anxious? Can the person still escape?"

"Don't blame me, Your Highness. My uncle has been like this since he got that bottle of ointment. He even came here in person to look for someone..."

Xiahou Rui thought to himself, what virtue and ability did he have! It was very difficult to see Master Qiu, let alone him. I'm afraid even his second brother wouldn't give him face.

He suppressed his excitement and said in a calm tone, "Master Qiu, please wait a moment. I will go and get someone over here."

Upon hearing this, Master Qiu hurriedly said, "Don't bother Your Highness. I can go by myself."

"I want to see him alone."

Seeing how anxious and serious he was, Xia Hou Rui quickly stood up and said, "He's in the third room on the left wing on the second floor. I'll take you there."

At this time, Master Qiu had already stood up and put on his hat. "I dare not trouble Your Highness, I will go by myself."

After saying that, he strode upstairs to the inn.

Xia Hou Rui wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Ye Bufan, "Don't make trouble. It's rare for my uncle to be so interested in someone."

"Isn't this a good thing for your friend?"

Perhaps what Ye Bufan said is right, but Brother Xin doesn't know if anything will go wrong...

Xin Youran, who heard the knock on the door, was about to take off the human skin mask on her face. She had been wearing it for a whole day and could finally get some fresh air.

Her heart trembled. Fortunately, she hadn't had time to take it. Who would be looking for her at this time?

He quickly put on his clothes, then clenched the dagger in his hand and asked, "Who is it?"

Then he tiptoed towards the door.

"My name is Qiu, and I would like to ask you some questions about the Gardenia Ointment."

"I wonder if you could give me some convenience?"

When Xin Youran heard this, she was so excited that she couldn't express it in words. She wanted to open the door quickly, but a question mark suddenly flashed in her mind.

That's not right. She had seen Master Qiu before. That was clearly the voice of a young man, but the voice coming from outside the door sounded much older.

Could it be that someone is impersonating me?

She went back and put on her hat and veil, with the dagger in her hand ready at all times, and then went to open the door.

After opening the door, damn! A man in a black robe?

Is he the man in black robe who rescued the original owner from the old poisonous creature?

An old man slowly took off the black cloak from his head and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you with your visit at night. Could you please excuse me and talk to me?"

Although the old man's hair was gray, he took good care of it, and he really smelled of the gardenia ointment she made!

Maybe she was too sensitive to the black robe...

She was still skeptical when this person said he was Master Qiu, but she still went through the motions and invited him in. "Sir, please come in."

Can he still beat her now?

Although her shoulder was injured, it did not affect her boxing skills.

No matter how bad it is, it's still very strong.

The old man casually glanced at Xin Youran's room, and just when she was about to close the door, he stopped her.

"Young man, there's no need to close the door. I just have a question for you. It's nothing serious."

As he spoke, he took out the jar of ointment that Xin Youran had given to "Master Qiu" earlier and asked, "Excuse me, young friend, is this really made by you?"

"It's down."

Did he like her perfume? Did he come here to buy it again?

"Why does the perfume you made smell so refreshing? How did you do it?"

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Qiu Runzhi, and I've devoted my life to the art of incense making. May I ask who you are, young man?"

Xin Youran looked confused. What was going on?

Listening to this old man's introduction, this is Master Qiu, right?

So who was the "Master Qiu" you saw in Jingxinzhai before?

Master Qiu quickly understood and said apologetically, "The man you met in Jingxinzhai yesterday was my nephew, Ye Bufan, the son of the Minister of Revenue."

"I believe there is some misunderstanding here. I hope you can forgive me."

Okay, okay, it must be Xia Hou Rui’s doing, but her ointment finally fell into the hands of the real Master Qiu. No matter what the process was, he still helped her a lot!

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm Xin Qiji, a foreigner who doesn't usually live in the capital. I wonder if Master Qiu has any suggestions for my gardenia ointment?"

"Is there anything else that can be improved? I'll work on it when I get back."

"As for the freshness you just mentioned, it's actually my greatest effort to preserve the scent of gardenias."

"It can be said that the time it takes me from picking the fresh petals of the gardenia to making the balm is no more than the time it takes to stick an incense stick, which greatly locks in its fragrance."

"I just wonder if there is anything I can improve on with my production process?"

"I hope the master can teach me."

Qiu Runzhi kept muttering, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is..."

As he spoke, he rushed out of Xin Youran's room impatiently...

"Hey, hey, Master Qiu?"

Why does this person's condition seem a little abnormal?

No matter how she screamed, it was as if he didn't hear her.

Xin Youran chased after him and followed him downstairs.

"Fan'er, hurry up, take me back, you have to hurry!"

Then, the fake Master Qiu who had been seen at Jingxinzhai yesterday trotted over to catch up with Qiu Runzhi, and his followers also trotted one by one and disappeared into the Yuemanlou Inn...
