I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 173 Letter

The master first talked about his and his wife's recent situation in the letter.

The text also specifically mentioned that the proprietress of Piaoxiang Restaurant would ask about your situation every time she saw him and his wife, and repeatedly emphasized that she owed you a meal and wanted to thank you in person.

Uh, does the boss lady know something?

It seemed that apart from Tong Wan and Xiaobudian, no one else knew her secret. Could it be that Xiaobudian let it slip?

Judging from the boss lady's tone, Jin Changkun must have been really frightened by her. Hahahaha, when I think of how scared he was, I can't help but laugh.

The letter kept asking her where she got so much money, but they seemed to have great confidence in her, thinking she was cut out for business.

The master was not polite and specifically explained the purpose of the one hundred taels of silver. It was mainly used to treat poor people who had no money to see a doctor, and secondly to buy some more expensive medicinal materials on the market.

He would also keep a ledger to record every penny he spent.

Isn't this similar to a charitable foundation?

The master's ideas are quite advanced, even longer-term than she thought. So she will have to work harder to make money in the future so that this charity can be maintained for a long time.

Tong Wan's situation was explained at the end of the letter, and she frowned as she read it.

The letter said that half a month ago, when the little one went out to play by the stream as usual, he disappeared!

Tong Wan immediately took people out to look for Xiaobutian, but he has not returned yet.

The master also told her not to worry and that he would reply to her as soon as Tong Wan returned.

How could the little one get lost?

She is the living map of Xinghua Village!

This made Xin Youran think of Chu Yuming. Could it be that the little one was also kidnapped?

No... could it be that he is also from [Falling Rain]?

No, she has to see Tong Wan quickly!

"Mu Yuan, the little one is lost. He's by the stream in front of Master's yard!"

Seeing Mu Yuan's bewildered expression, she hurriedly continued to explain, "It's the child from the yard next door to Master and his family. She's a seven or eight-year-old girl, and she's super cute."

"Oh, I won't tell you anymore. Her mother and I are good friends. She doesn't know where to find the little one now..."

"I have to find her as soon as possible."

It is very likely that the little one was abducted by people from [Luoyu]. It seems that we have to go to [Luoyu] to find out what happened.

Mu Yuan really didn't know the neighbor she was talking about and had never paid attention to him before.

But seeing Xin Youran was so anxious that she was about to spin in circles, he comforted her in time, "Don't worry, I will send someone to investigate the whereabouts of your friend."

"Jixue, help her draw the appearance of the person she is looking for. Draw as many as possible and notify Jiyingzong to find this person as quickly as possible."

"I obey my orders."

Then Ji Xue took out a secret set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone from his arms and spread them on the table.

After getting ready, he looked up and asked Xin Youran, "Miss, what does the friend you are looking for look like?"

"Can you tell me orally?"

Uh, does Jixue have this skill?

What kind of portrait artist is this?

Without thinking too much, she quickly replied, "Okay, okay, Tong Wan likes to wear bright red clothes. She has a small red mole between her eyebrows, and her nose..."

Xin Youran didn't know how to describe it specifically so that Jixue could draw Tong Wan more like herself.

She tried to describe her features as specifically as possible.

After she finished describing it, she actually saw Jixue actually drawing it according to her description.

After another cup of tea, Jixue refined her description before handing her the painting.

"Excuse me, young lady, if you can take a look, does your friend look like this?"

Xin Youran hurriedly took the piece of paper and was shocked beyond words. It can’t be said to be at the same level as the photo, but it really looked like it!

"Xiaoxue, I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"

"You've been practicing this for at least ten years, right?"

Mu Yuan picked up another one and looked at it inconspicuously. "My lady, you have a good eye. Jixue's father is the best painter of the dynasty. She has been influenced by him since she was a child."

It was really unexpected. Jixue looked so heroic that I thought she had been practicing martial arts since she was a child!

"Xiaoxue is truly a man of both civil and military talents!"

When Ji Xue heard this, her face seemed to darken, but she still forced a smile. Xin Youran could feel that she was just trying her best to endure it.

Perhaps this sentence irritated Jixue, and she quickly changed the subject, "Mu Yuan, can your men find someone with this portrait?"

"Isn't it quick?"

"Can I come along and look for it?"

"More people means more strength."

Mu Yuan knew how anxious she was, but not only could she not help in this matter, but if she followed Jiyingzong, it would distract them from protecting her.

Xin Youran knew from Mu Yuan's expression that this matter was definitely hopeless. "Things are different now. Don't look down on me. Don't forget the night I was attacked outside the city. I still... I still..."

"Forget it, I'm not that fragile anyway!"

She still can't let go of the murder. Who would be willing to take someone else's life if they weren't forced to do so?

"I'm not looking down on my lady, but it's best to be careful in everything."

"Just now, my wife only asked me to help find your good friend and didn't mention anything about the child. I guess she has already made plans."

"How about we divide the work and cooperate?"

"If there is any danger, remember to stop immediately and set off the special fireworks I gave you."

Xin Youran was horrified. Mu Yuan was like a worm in her stomach, seeing through everything she was thinking.

Anyway, he wouldn't hurt her, so she nodded without refutation.

I just feel a little weird, like a transparent person in front of Mu Yuan.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I still have to go to Ming Yu Zhai."

She urgently needed to go out for some fresh air and sort out her thoughts on where to start looking for the little one.

Mu Yuan did not expose her, but reminded her again to be careful when going out, and then gave Ji Xue a look.

Only then did he feel relieved to see her fleeing from her own room.

……

When Xin Youran went downstairs, she found that the people from the caravan were still eating in the lobby, but it seemed that only a few people actually started eating.

As she walked past them, she could clearly feel that they all seemed to be looking in her direction.

She vaguely wondered if these people would come after her.

Has she been exposed now?

It seems that Wei Banban's disguise technique is not a long-term solution.

Since I have decided to go to [Luoyu] to find out whether the little one has been abducted there, I must show up here. It is a good opportunity to go to Qingyun Cottage and sit for a while.

She didn't dare stay in Yuemanlou any longer, and walked out quickly, reaching Mingyuzhai at almost the fastest speed.

Shopkeeper Xing didn't react much to her arrival, still greeting her with a smile, "Boss Xin, are you here to pick up some goods?"

"As for the gardenia ointment, it will take some time."

"I came here today because I promised you last time that I would bring you some gardenia tea that I made."

As he spoke, Xin Youran quickly took out two brocade boxes.

One box contained tea leaves, and the other box contained the incense pills she made.

After all, Shopkeeper Xing is a professional in making incense, and he can definitely tell at a glance whether a product has commercial value.

"Oh? It just so happens that I'm not very busy right now, so Boss Xin came to see me."
