I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 23 No news is good news

Upon hearing this, the Liu couple hurriedly smiled and said, "That's not true. Youyou's food is delicious!"

"Yes yes yes..."

Xin Youran clearly felt something was wrong, but since they were unwilling to speak, she wouldn't ask again. Everyone had secrets, just like she did now...

She subconsciously glanced at Mu Yuan, only to see him eating his meal leisurely as if nothing had happened.

He even eats in a very decent manner, elegant and noble, worthy of being the crown prince of the current dynasty.

For the rest of the time, the Liu couple did not speak again and just kept their heads down while eating.

Xin Youran also knew what to do and stopped talking.

Only when everyone had finished their meal did Mrs. Liu return to normal.

"Youyou, Master's wife is washing the pot, stop cleaning it now."

"Go with your master to the front room and learn more about how to dispense medicine."

When Xin Youran heard that her master was going to start teaching her medicine!

"Well, now you can cook for several people, and your health is almost recovered. You can follow me, an old man, and see the doctor."

Doctor Liu stood up and took Xin Youran to the front room.

Xin Youran saw that Mu Yuan was still sitting there, motionless, and gave him some food because he had just picked up some food for her while he was eating.

He started to remind her, "If you have nothing to do, you can come with us to help digest the food."

He didn't reply, but stood up and walked towards his room.

"Humph, what an impolite fellow!"

"Master, I wonder if he has any other symptoms?"

When Doctor Liu saw Xin Youran pointing at his head, he smiled helplessly. It was quite interesting to see this couple getting along with each other.

Sometimes they seem very close, and sometimes they seem like two strangers.

The main problem must be this young man's amnesia.

"Alas, your husband's amnesia is really difficult to deal with..."

"It's very difficult to recover the memories of the cases I've dealt with. There are cases where it's difficult to recover memories, but it takes several years. You have to be mentally prepared."

When Xin Youran heard her master say this, she felt secretly delighted.

If that's the case, wouldn't my life be saved?

On second thought, I still feel that this idea is a bit unfair. Who doesn't want to be healthy? It must be uncomfortable to live in a confusion all day long, right?

But he had never seen Mu Yuan feel bad before. What was this called? Men don't shed tears easily?

You should treat her well in the future. It’s not easy to be alive. Since you have “become” her husband, you can’t treat her badly. You should make good money to support her.

What else can I do...

"Master, I have a question for you. Do you think we can grow the herbs we collected in the mountains ourselves?"

"It's so dangerous to go collect herbs every time. If I could grow them myself, I wouldn't have to go up the mountain."

When Doctor Liu heard this, he was overjoyed, and then he sighed.

"My son asked me the same question."

"I've heard before that the imperial physicians in the palace have a special Chinese herbal medicine plantation, but I've never seen one, let alone understand the techniques involved."

"I couldn't resist my eldest son, so I once followed him to plant safflower and coriander. I was successful, but I didn't expect..."

"After my son left, I lost interest in studying these things."

"They don't collect herbs as often anymore. They only go up the mountain when patients need them. Most of the time, they use the stockpiles that the two brothers collected in the past..."

After hearing this, Xin Youran felt that planting and collecting herbs was still feasible. From what her master said, planting and collecting herbs here was considered a pioneer, which proved that there was profit to be made.

But what did he mean when he said his son left?

Could it be that his son died?

"Master, your son..."

Doctor Liu, who was grinding medicinal herbs, stopped what he was doing and paused for a moment, as if he was thinking.

Then he continued grinding, smiled and shook his head, and then said: "It happened a long time ago, it doesn't hurt to tell you, and you are a girl, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

"Your master's wife and I originally had two sons, only two years apart in age. They both studied medicine with me since they were young."

"Not to mention their exceptional intelligence, but they are able to endure hardships and are willing to learn. Anyone who studies medicine knows that learning is a very long process and requires patience."

"Although the second child is naughty, he always agrees with the eldest child, so the eldest child always takes the second child with him."

"As they grew up, my medical skills gradually improved. Everyone who saw me said I was very lucky."

"Having two such wonderful sons means we have a family to carry on our legacy!"

"I was extremely filial during my sophomore year. He always took the initiative to do the dirty and tiring work. He and I would go up the mountain to collect herbs together."

As Doctor Liu talked about the past, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

Xin Youran looked at it and couldn't help but think that this was probably what people mean when they say that children are the pride of their parents. This look was it.

"What then?"

Could it be that the two brothers fell off the cliff while going up the mountain to collect herbs?

Xin Youran was frightened by the thought in her mind and quickly continued, "Look at my mouth. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. Just keep going."

Doctor Liu's tone was calm. "They were captured by the government. They said the army needed doctors. My two sons are both very skilled doctors."

"They've been gone for two years, and there's been no news since..."

"There are rumors that he died in the war..."

"Your master's wife and I went to the government office to ask for an explanation, but they kicked us out."

"Don't look at your master's wife laughing all day long, she is suffering inside..."

Xin Youran was shocked. Is this situation similar to conscription?

It reminded her of the famous historical story of Hua Mulan who joined the army to replace her father.

How can ordinary people resist this kind of thing?

"Master, don't be too sad. Sometimes no news is good news."

"My two senior brothers will definitely be blessed by heaven!"

Xin Youran's words may have touched Doctor Liu. He sniffed quickly, then said with a smile, "Youyou is right!"

"I believe they will come back safely!"

Every time Doctor Liu ground a new herb, he would explain it to Xin Youran, including its effects, dosage for each symptom, and he knew everything.

Her brain remembered it at the time, but later returned it...

Would it be nice if there was a recording at this time, or a pen and notebook so she could take notes?

This was the downside in ancient times. You needed pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to write a single word. She really couldn't write with a brush!

She did practice calligraphy with her grandfather when she was a child, but unfortunately she was a person who could not sit still. She became impatient before she had even written two words and insisted on going out to play.

I really regret it now. If I had studied hard at that time, wouldn’t this come in handy?

This is what it means to regret not having read enough books when you need them.

Who could have expected that what happened in the novel would happen to me...
