I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 214 Tea House

"Boss, has anything strange happened in front of your stall today?"

The vendor who had been enthusiastically soliciting customers just now showed a puzzled look, and then looked at the two of them with a wary face.

Seeing this, Mu Yuan took out ten taels of silver and handed it over.

"keep the change."

When the merchant saw the silver, he took it excitedly and said with a smile, "Yes, yes. At noon, a man seemed to be being chased. He walked through this street in a panic. I saw him holding his chest, as if he was injured there."

"What a coincidence! She stumbled and fell on my stall when she got there. To be honest, she knocked over half of my jewelry!"

"I saw that the man was almost losing his mind, so I didn't intend to ask him to apologize."

"I just feel so unlucky. After that person left, my stall hasn't even opened yet!"

Xin Youran nodded. So that's how it is...

"What happens after that?"

"How is the injured person?"

The vendor scratched his head and said, "After that..."

"After that, I wiped the jewelry that fell on the ground carefully. Don't worry, although the hairpin you bought was among them, I wiped it clean and it was not damaged."

Well, there is no damage, but the position of the pistil is really hard to notice, and the bloodstain on it must be because the boss didn't see it.

But that’s not the point of the problem!

"Which direction did the man who knocked over your stall flee in?"

"Do you still remember his appearance?"

Mu Yuan continued to ask.

Perhaps it was Mu Yuan's serious expression that intimidated the merchant, for he finally recalled carefully, "The man was wearing brown brocade clothes and was short, about the same height as your wife. Oh, and he also had a goatee."

The more Mu Yuan listened to the vendor's description, the more familiar it felt. "Thank you."

When the merchant heard that he seemed to have helped an important person, he immediately smiled and said, "It's my duty, it's my duty."

"Hey, I wonder if the young lady has any other styles she likes?"

"Pack all of this up."

As he said this, he took out a lot of silver and gave it to the merchant.

The merchant was extremely excited. He was really lucky today!

This amount of money is enough for the whole family to have snacks for half a year!

Xin Youran was completely shocked by Mu Yuan's actions.

What do you need so many jewels for?

Although they all look good, when did a grown man like him develop such a habit?

The two of them walked in the direction the merchant pointed, not knowing whether they could still find the man if they looked for him now.

Not long after walking, Mu Yuan suddenly stopped and called out, "Jiemie."

Then, Jiemie appeared in front of them, "Your Highness."

"The person the merchant just described is clearly Zhou Xu, the head of the Zhou family."

"Go check his whereabouts now, and be sure to check who is chasing him."

"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead!"

Jiemie quickly replied, "I've already sent Jifeng and the others."

Jiemie's sudden appearance scared Xin Youran. Oh boy, she knew Mu Yuan would have a backup plan.

But what she was more curious about was that Mu Yuan actually knew the person whose bloodstains were left on the hairpin.

"Mu Yuan, based solely on the vendor's description, can you conclude that he's someone you know?"

From what he said, this person should be from the Eastern Palace. But the Eastern Palace is so big, I wonder how many subordinates he has. There must be very few people who can get in touch with the prince, right?

Mu Yuan didn't want to hide it. "As long as I've met someone once, I'll remember it. And I happened to have met this person not long ago."

He was particularly impressed by the person who outmaneuvered Qin Yinan.

"Let's go, we'll be there soon."

"Where are you going?"

Even now, she still doesn't know where Mu Yuan is going to take her.

Tch, you’re still keeping us in suspense. Okay, I can’t just sell her out.

The two of them walked around in several alleys, which made Xin Youran feel uneasy.

Finally I found a teahouse in an alley. It’s so remote, how could it have good business?

This shopkeeper should be the kind of person who is not short of money.

Xin Youran followed behind Mu Yuan and observed secretly. They had already entered, but no waiter or shopkeeper came to greet them.

Mu Yuan didn't even consider himself a guest and took Xin Youran directly to the second floor.

"No, Mu Yuan, this isn't a good idea, is it?"

Xin Youran pulled Mu Yuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

There was no surveillance in those days, so if a store lost something valuable, there would be no way to explain it.

Mu Yuan just smiled at her meaningfully, then took her hand and walked towards a private room inside.

After entering the private room, Xin Youran saw Tong Wan at first sight.

"Tong Wan!"

"After we parted that day, I was thinking about how to find you!"

"But the Xianwang Mansion is really not suitable for me, hehe."

The main thing is that the wise king looks like he is not someone you can mess with...

"Well, what about the little one?"

"Why didn't she come with you?"

Tong Wan smiled at Xin Youran and did not answer her many questions.

Instead, he bowed to Mu Yuan and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Can you allow me to talk to Youyou alone?"

Mu Yuan looked at Xin Youran, and his meaning was very clear: it depends on her own wishes.

Is this even necessary? Xin Youran had so many questions she wanted to ask Tong Wan.

He nodded vigorously immediately, indicating that he couldn't agree more.

"Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs."

During this period, Mu Yuan had been holding Xin Youran's hand. At this time, he held her hand tightly, and then left the private room.

Only Tong Wan and Xin Youran were left in the room.

Without any reservations, Xin Youran pulled Tong Wan aside and eagerly asked the question she wanted to ask the most, "Is that virtuous king the little one's biological father?!"

Originally, Tong Wan went to such great lengths to meet Xin Youran this time just to tell her everything.

"Come, sit down, have a cup of tea, and let's talk slowly."

Xin Youran didn't care about tea at all. She sat down immediately, picked up the cup of tea that Tong Wan poured for her, took a big sip, put down the cup, and looked at Tong Wan with anticipation.

This expression successfully made Tong Wan laugh, "Yes."

Wow, this is really a royal secret, right?

She had specifically asked Mu Yuan before, and she knew that this wise king had never remarried since the death of his princess nine years ago.

Based on her many years of experience reading novels, she felt that there must be something fishy going on here.

Considering her young age, Tong Wan was most likely just running away with the ball!

This Tong Wan must have had a tragic love story with the virtuous king, right?

Hey hey hey.

"But he is not my husband."

Uh, Xin Youran was just fantasizing about this passionately, but Tong Wan's words completely extinguished her passion...

"Wha, what?"

"We are not married, and I am not his princess."

"Yingying is indeed his daughter..."
