I survived as a female assassin

"Then Master Ding, I'll leave the rest to you."

"When do you think it would be convenient for me to come and get the seal?"

"I should also pay a deposit, right?"

Xin Youran was about to pull out her wallet from her sleeve when Ding Jingshan stopped her. "No need. Just come and get it tomorrow at this time."

When she heard that she could pick it up tomorrow, she was immediately delighted. That would not affect her making a special box for the perfume!

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

Xin Youran didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she came out of the inner room. She always felt that there was too much in Master Ding's eyes when he looked at her.

Like a gaze of deep affection?

She shook her head, thinking about all sorts of things.

how is this possible.

"Let's go and have dinner at Zuixianlou first. I just saw Xiao Yueyue in the private room and she didn't even drink a sip of tea."

Leng Yue: Do you think everyone can be like you and not be afraid of being poisoned by others?

"How about just drinking your favorite osmanthus wine?"

As Xin Youran said this, she was about to pull Leng Yue's arm and walk together.

Xia Hou Rui was left out, feeling irritated. "Hey, Xin Qiji, you're not the type to do this. You're going to destroy the bridge after crossing it."

"How could that be? We are just about to fulfill our promise. Come on, follow us."

"Now that we're at Zuixianlou, feel free to order your favorite dishes."

Xiahou Rui always felt that Xin Qiji and Leng Yue were too close, but he also felt that the two of them did not seem to be that close.

Xin Qiji is really a mysterious person. We have sent people to investigate him before, but we have found nothing.

It seemed like someone was deliberately helping him cover up his identity.

And why did my second brother also know him...

That night, his second brother mobilized a large number of troops just to save him and Leng Yue, but he didn't even glance at Leng Yue. That was because of him.

"Brother Xiahou?"

"Are you really angry? Not really?"

"Oh, I know why."

Xin Youran looked at Xia Hou Rui with an "I understand, I understand" look, and then said something that really deserved a beating, "Alas, it's all Miss Yue's fault for being so charming. Let's compete fairly from now on."

It was obvious to the naked eye that Xiahou Rui was almost gritting his teeth at her.

The three of them soon arrived at Zuixianlou. Xin Youran sighed in his heart, saying that it was indeed the best restaurant in the entire capital.

Judging from the decoration, it was the most luxurious and grand dining place she had ever seen.

As soon as she came in, she felt a pain in her liver. She had asked Mu Yuan to send the hundred taels of silver note to her master and mistress.

She frantically calculated the money in her purse. Of all her belongings, there were only about ten taels of silver left...

If it were an ordinary restaurant, you could really order whatever you want, but that’s obviously not the case here!

"Brother Xiahou, hey, you should take it easy later. Order one or two dishes you like at most..."

Xia Hou Rui looked disgusted. "Why? Didn't Boss Xin just make a big deal? The talk of the town today is all about the owners of Ming Yu Zhai and Ning Xiang Guan vying for a meeting with a prominent figure who lives in Yue Man Lou!"

He emphasized the words "request for an audience" and "big shot" in particular.

"Hey, it hasn't started yet, so please forgive me. I'll make up for it when I make a lot of money in the future."

Leng Yue was annoyed when she heard Xia Hou Rui's tone, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you still going to eat or not?"

Only she could make Xia Hou Rui shut up instantly.

They didn't ask for any private rooms or anything like that, they just found a not-so-conspicuous spot in the hall and sat down.

We had agreed to order one or two dishes that suited our taste, but Xiahou Rui refused to listen and just ordered a lot of dishes without hesitation.

"Yue'er hasn't eaten here before, right? Let's try them all later."

Xin Youran: ...

Brother, you are so fierce and aggressive, I might be left behind to wash the dishes!

She had already ordered everything, so she could only swallow her anger.

She whispered to Leng Yue, "Xiao Yueyue, do you have enough money on you?"

Leng Yue ate slowly and calmly, then suddenly said, "Oh, I never brought it when I was with you."

Xin Youran: ...

The food here is delicious, but never mind, let’s just enjoy the present first. If things really don’t work out, let Lao Guan come to the rescue and save them first.

Halfway through the meal, someone suddenly appeared next to Xia Hou Rui. It was so sudden that Xin Youran didn't even hear the person's footsteps, and even the breath on his body was difficult to detect.

Xiahou Rui seemed to know him. He whispered something to Xiahou Rui, and then the two of them hurriedly walked out of Zuixian Tower.

At this time, only she and Leng Yue were left at the dinner table.

Xin Youran couldn't help but gossip with Leng Yue, "What do you think of Xia Hou Rui?"

"Look at him, he's obsessed with you!"

Leng Yue's hand holding the chopsticks trembled a little, "Ignore too much attention to unimportant people."

It seems that Leng Yue's feelings for Lie Feng are still very firm. After all, they grew up together.

Speaking of Liefeng, it seemed like she hadn't seen him for a long time, which reminded her of what happened at the old monster's house before. He said that if she still couldn't remember anything about him after a month, he would take her away.

Where would he take her?

She is not an object, so even if he wants to take her away, she will not leave.

"What's going on with that Shopkeeper Qiu?"

"Have we known each other before? How is our relationship?"

"Was that previous shopkeeper Guo also from [Luoyu]? Why did Ningxiang Pavilion get taken over by [Luoyu]'s people after his death?"

Leng Yue put down his chopsticks and seemed to be thinking about this problem seriously.

"What I can confirm is that Guo Zhen is not from [Luo Yu]."

"At the same time, I also don't understand why [Luo Yu] would pay attention to such a small incense shop."

"I always feel that this Guo Zhen is not simple."

Otherwise, it wouldn't have become Brother Liefeng's bounty mission.

Xin Youran thought that the original owner must have always wanted to get rid of [Luo Yu], otherwise he would not have taken the risk to assassinate Prince Mu Yuan.

In this case, there is no need for her to cooperate with Ningxiang Pavilion. Money can be made anywhere, and she is afraid of getting involved in any unnecessary trouble.

Xin Youran saw that she had almost finished eating and thought that a large-scale social death scene was about to happen to her.

Still feeling somewhat embarrassed, she told Leng Yue, "If I'm detained here later, you'll go find Lao Guan to redeem me."

"I've observed that Anhe Pharmacy is relatively close to here."

Leng Yue: ...

"Where's the one hundred taels of silver you just earned?"

"Uh, I gave it to someone else..."

Leng Yue looked at her as if she was a fool. Could it be that she was deceived?

The waiter was very considerate and noticed that they had put down their chopsticks. He quickly came over and quoted the price of their table full of dishes.

A full twenty taels of silver. According to the prices here, this is equivalent to eating an entire cow in one meal!

Damn Xiahou Rui!

"But someone here has already paid the bill for you."

"Excuse me, do you need me to help you two?"

Has someone already paid for them?

Xiahou Rui left in a hurry, it definitely couldn't be him.

Who would that be?
