I survived as a female assassin

Xin Youran couldn't help but laugh out loud. Her master's wife was really frugal and thrifty.

After finishing her meal, she couldn't wait to take her backpack and show her harvest of the day one by one. She picked a lot of Corydalis yanhusuo, motherwort and ramie.

"Master, please take a look. How much can these be sold for?"

Doctor Liu really looked at it carefully and weighed it in his hand before he estimated the price. "If you buy it here, it will only be one or two taels of silver. If you sell it in the capital, you can get at least two taels."

"But you have to hire an oxcart to get to the capital, so it's not cost-effective if you have a small quantity. I suggest you dry them out and store them, then take them to the capital to sell later."

"Master, your idea is quite good. I'll save it for now. I was hoping to cash it in as soon as possible so I can make a new set of clothes for my husband!"

Xin Youran said it so directly that Mu Yuan, who had been staying out of the matter, seemed very uncomfortable.

It seemed unreasonable not to say something at this moment, "I'm sorry to trouble you, my lady."

"Youyou, how did you pick so many wild flowers?"

Xin Youran then remembered that the wild flowers should be placed in a vase so that they can survive longer.

"Master's wife, do you have any extra vases?"

"I'll go look for it for you."

Liu went to the storage room and rummaged around, and she actually found some bottles and jars. She called Xin Youran over and asked her to pick a few herself.

Xin Youran first prepared a bouquet and took it in her hand and went next door.

They must have already eaten. Sending flowers was one thing, but she also wanted to meet the nobleman from the capital.

When she followed the old woman, whom her master's wife called Aunt Li, all the way to the main house, she did not see the elegant man she had seen before.

Are you leaving so soon?

Why didn’t you stay to have dinner with the little one before leaving?

"Big sister! Why are you here?"

"What are you holding in your hand? Is it a gift for me?"

"This isn't anything delicious. It's for your mother."

At this time, Tong Wan came out. She looked a little tired, but still greeted Xin Youran with a smile, "What kind of flower is this? It's so beautiful."

"I went up the mountain to collect herbs today. I picked a lot of wild flowers. I brought you a bunch. You can put them in a bottle."

As he said that, he handed it to Tong Wan, and then sat down on the chair in the main hall without any hesitation.

"Little one, your mother and I are sisters now. From now on, you have to call me... uh, auntie. Yes, it should be auntie, right?"

As he said this, he looked at Tong Wan to ask for her opinion, whether this was what it was called here.

"Yingying, from now on, call me Aunt Youran."

The little one nodded thoughtfully. She didn't seem to care much about what she was called. She was more concerned about whether she had anything delicious to eat.

"So if I call you Auntie, will I get some potato chips?"

Xin Youran: ...

What a little foodie.

Speaking of food, Xin Youran suddenly thought of the braised carp she had eaten tonight.

"Sister, where did you get that big carp? It's quite large. Braised in red sauce, it's salty and fresh. It's yellow, tender, and fragrant with mushrooms. The gravy is rich and delicious. It's a perfect accompaniment to rice!"

Tong Wan hesitated for a moment, her eyes dodging. "I bought it at the market. It's rare to come across fresh goods, so I brought one for you."

"You seem to have a good relationship with my master and his wife. I heard from his wife that you often send things home."

When Tong Wan saw Xin Youran asked this, she no longer worried about the big carp and was happy to talk to her.

"When I gave birth to Yingying, thanks to your master's wife, I almost died of a difficult labor..."

"How can this kindness be repaid by giving something?"

"No matter what happens to them, I will try my best to help."

It turns out that Tong Wan and her master's wife had this story.

It must be difficult for a woman to come into such a patriarchal world...

"Sister, I really admire you. After all these years, you've still given birth to a child. I'm sure you love the little one's father very much, right?"

Unexpectedly, Tong Wan seemed to have heard something ridiculous. "Hahaha, sister, what's the point of loving or not? I still don't know who Yingying's father is!"

Xin Youran:? !!

"It's a long story, so I won't talk about it."

Tong Wan began to play with the wild flowers that Xin Youran brought with great interest.

It seems that there are quite a few stories involved, but this is someone else's privacy, and since she doesn't want to talk about it, Xin Youran didn't ask any more questions.

"Sister, you are my senior after all. Is there any way for me to make some quick money here?"

Xin Youran grabbed a handful of claws and chatted while knocking.

Tong Wan, who was arranging flowers, paused for a moment and said, "Look at me, how could I have forgotten about this? You just got here, so you must need money everywhere."

"Aunt Li, go get some silver."

Upon hearing this, Xin Youran quickly put down her melon seeds, clapped her hands, and stopped Aunt Li. "Hey, hey, that's not what I meant. I'm here to learn from you, senior, not to borrow money."

"Oh? How fast do you want it?"

"Of course the sooner the better!"

Seeing that Tong Wan finally started to take her problem seriously, Xin Youran hurried over to her and listened carefully to the advice of her senior.

"Come, come closer and I'll tell you something."

It's so mysterious, are you asking her to steal or rob? That's not okay.

But out of curiosity, Xin Youran still went closer.

The closer you are to the beauty, the stronger the fragrance becomes. If she were a man, she would probably be intoxicated by this gentle paradise.

Just as she was daydreaming, Tong Wan's words shocked her and she jumped up on the spot, "What...what...you, you, you..."

She actually wanted to go to a place of entertainment to sell her body?

What a crazy idea!

"Be patient, be patient. There was a popular saying before: men become bad when they have money, and women become rich when they become bad."

"This wise saying is applicable everywhere."

Xin Youran: ...

"Sister, tell me the truth, what was your occupation before you came here? No, you should still be in school, right?"

Tong Wan: ...

"what are you thinking!"

"You've never eaten pork, but you've never seen a pig run!"

"But I have another place where you can make some quick money. Come see me tomorrow at this time and I'll take you there to broaden your horizons."

After saying this, Tong Wan began to fiddle with the bouquet of wild flowers that Xin Youran brought.

It seems that Tong Wan still has some hidden tricks up her sleeve. Xin Youran agreed happily and didn't stay any longer. Maybe the nobleman he met today hadn't left yet and was hidden somewhere by Tong Wan.

A night of spring is worth a thousand gold, so it’s better not to disturb them.
