I survived as a female assassin

When Xin Youran heard Mu Yuan's words, she felt like she was falling into an ice cave.

Has he recovered his memory?

Xin Youran clenched her hands tightly on the door latch. If she turned around at this moment, would Mu Yuan strangle her to death?

Just like how he treated Blood Shadow before, she would probably die in his hands in a few minutes...

Is it too late to run now?

"But my lady, aren't we already husband and wife?"

What did he mean? Was he saying that running away with him was taking advantage of his feelings? Mu Yuan didn't regain his memory, but instead protested the character she had created for him?

"In that case, wherever my wife goes, I will go."

After Mu Yuan finished speaking, he grabbed Xin Youran's hand, which frightened her so much that her body trembled.

What does this guy mean? Why is he even fighting?

It seems that Mu Yuan has not recovered his memory at all. His reaction shows that he is still in the character given by Xin Youran.

Xin Youran struggled to pull her hand free, but found that the man's hand was very strong and she couldn't break free at all.

Having made up her mind immediately, she slowly turned around and said with helplessness and sadness, "I will never forget your friendship, my dear, but I am already imprisoned and cannot drag you down with me."

"But you can rest assured that I will take you home."

We can't just leave him in this remote mountain village. Who would know that he is the prince? At least we have to send him to the capital, where there will definitely be many people who will recognize him.

It’s quite miserable to think about a prince with amnesia living in exile.

Xin Youran tried to pull her hand back again, but still couldn't...

It seemed like he was going to argue with her, so he decided to try some delaying tactics. She immediately compromised and said, "Okay, then, let's do as you say. We don't have time, we have to clean up quickly."

"We can't cause any more trouble for Master and his wife!"

Mu Yuan finally let go of his hand. The moment Xin Youran was free, she quickly turned around and opened the door, "I'll come find you later!"

Mu Yuan's hand was still hanging in the air, in the same posture as when he pulled Xin Youran's hand. If you looked closely, you would find that his hand was shaking slightly.

Then he slowly raised the hand, stared at it for a long time, then took out his handkerchief and began to wipe it.

As she wiped, she stopped what she was doing, staring at his hand, and then held it tightly...

This scene happened to be seen by the secret guards on the roof, and they were all confused by the confusing behavior of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The moment Mu Yuan held her hand, he regretted it. Wasn't this acting a bit too much?

How could he hold a woman's hand?

Later, he didn't know what was wrong with him. He was like a demon, and he didn't want to let go...

When his hand was shaken away, he felt a little angry. He didn't say anything, but he was actually treated as someone else!

Then he took out his handkerchief and wanted to wipe it clean, but suddenly he thought of her hands, which were small and soft. It felt really good to hold them. He didn't want to let go and wanted to hold them again...

Perhaps thinking of the secret guards, he quickly withdrew his hands and said in a cold voice: "Leave two people here to protect Doctor Liu and his wife."

After saying that, he started to pack up the things he wanted to take away.

Actually, his things were very simple. Looking around the room, he only had the new clothes Xin Youran had made for her, her short knife, and the vase of wild flowers she had given him on the table...

He put these things into his bag one by one, and was shocked to find that they were all related to Xin Youran.

After Xin Youran returned to her room, she began to pack her bags in a panic.

Halfway through packing, she thought of her master and mistress. They would be so worried if she and Mu Yuan just left without saying goodbye. No, she had to write a letter for them.

She didn't really have much to pack, so she made a set of clothes and put them on. She looked at the clothes her master's wife had washed and dried on the bed, but she didn't put them in her bag in the end...

It seems like there's nothing left for me to take with me. I was rescued by them with nothing to lose, and I've been eating and using their things. I haven't even given them enough to repay them, and now I'm leaving without saying goodbye. I really feel so sorry for them...

Xin Youran no longer prepared any luggage. She took the dagger given to her by Mu Yuan and took another look at the house where she had lived for some time.

She remembered her master's wife feeding her medicine in this room and telling her the gossips of Xinghua Village.

This place is filled with wonderful memories...

Unconsciously, my eyes were already red. Master and Madam, if I am lucky enough to survive this time, I will definitely come back to repay your kindness!

Then she gently closed the door and looked at everything in the yard. Her mind was filled with every detail of the four of them being there.

I looked at the sky and it was still early, so I made some snacks for them.

Xin Youran quickly came to the cooking room and rummaged through the storage cabinet. Time was running out, so she decided to use the existing ingredients and avoid making another trip to the cellar.

There are five or six eggs left, no potatoes, some flour, and hey, there's even sugar!

Got it!

Then make a small loaf.

Xin Youran took out three eggs and a porcelain jar of sugar from the locker and scooped half a bowl of flour into a large porcelain bowl. That was all the ingredients.

First, clean a porcelain basin and beat the three eggs into it. Then open the porcelain jar containing white sugar and use a spoon to scoop out a spoonful of white sugar and put it into the porcelain basin.

She thought about it and decided to give some to the little one, so she added another half spoonful of sugar.

Then mix the eggs and sugar thoroughly until the sugar melts. Then pour the flour into the porcelain bowl in small amounts and stir while pouring the flour. Stop adding flour when it becomes cotton-like.

Then start folding the dough with your hands, from the outside to the inside, until it becomes a soft and smooth dough.

After the dough is ready, place it in a porcelain bowl and let it rest for 10 minutes.

After the dough has rested, take it out and knead it on the chopping board, roll it into long strips, then cut it into several small pieces of even size, sprinkle some flour to prevent sticking, then stretch it and set it aside.

Xin Youran looked at the yellow and white dough on the chopping board, feeling a sense of accomplishment. Her little bread was almost done.

Next, she started to light the fire. After watching the flames rise in the pot hole, she put in firewood, stood up and poured oil into the pot, felt the oil temperature with her hand, and when it was almost hot, she put the prepared dough directly into the pot, removed some firewood, and fryed it slowly over low heat. When it floated up, she kept turning it over to ensure that it was evenly colored and heated.

Slowly fry it into the shape of bread until the surface is golden brown, remove it from the oil and drain it, and the small breads are ready.

Master's Wife, Master's Wife, I've made you spend money again. Fried food is always very wasteful of oil...

Xin Youran thought about all her belongings, a few ounces of silver...

The road to escape that followed was fraught with difficulties. Even if the assassin hadn't killed her first, hard times were definitely waiting for her...
