Chapter 161: I Am Your Husband

Nan Xueyin felt as if her brain had been crushed.

It was like a ball of cotton wool, torn to shreds, then barely pieced back together.

Many things hidden inside her head were scattered in pieces; she could not find them even if she wanted to.

For a considerable amount of time, she could not remember who she was, nor did she know why she was here.

Her mind was even blank, without a single thought.

Thus, an extremely long night passed.

Xiao Mingyu did not sleep the entire night; as soon as the sky brightened, he went to the place where the sorcerer and Nan Xueyin were being settled.

Nan Xueyin lay on the bed, fast asleep; her brows were not tightly furrowed as they had been in the past; on the contrary, she was very calm, a state she had never been in before.

Xiao Mingyu went to ask the sorcerer: "Is this..."

"It should be a success." The sorcerer's face was full of exhaustion.

"What do you mean by 'should be'?" Xiao Mingyu was dissatisfied.

The sorcerer explained: "Everything that this humble one was supposed to do has been done. Whether it is a success or not depends on the state of the young lady after she wakes up in a moment."

Xiao Mingyu frowned, "What if she still remembers Xiao Youlan and does not like this Prince?"

The sorcerer's face turned ashen, "That... this humble one... this humble one..."

He knew that if this happened, he would likely not escape death.

At this moment, Nan Xueyin on the bed let out a hum.

Xiao Mingyu brushed the sorcerer aside and looked over, "Yinyin?"

Nan Xueyin opened her eyes, her gaze falling onto his face, carrying doubt and scrutiny.

Xiao Mingyu was a little nervous: "Yinyin, do you still remember who I am?"

The sorcerer stood to the side, his heart in his throat.

Nan Xueyin shook her head gently.

Xiao Mingyu asked again: "Then... what about Xiao Youlan?"

Nan Xueyin shook her head again.

The sorcerer's heart dropped slightly, but he still dared not be completely at ease—after all, this young lady had forgotten the Prince of Duan as well!

At this time, Xiao Mingyu suddenly laughed.

The sorcerer observed his reaction with trepidation.

Xiao Mingyu sat on the edge of the bed, reached out, and gently stroked Nan Xueyin's cheek, "My name is Xiao Mingyu, and I am the Prince of Duan of this dynasty. I am your husband."

The sorcerer:...

How truly shameless the Prince of Duan is!

Nan Xueyin was half-doubting: "Hus... band?"

Xiao Mingyu gave a hum, "Do you still remember who you are?"

Nan Xueyin seemed to be trying very hard to recall; after a long while, fine beads of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"If you can't remember, then don't think about it..."

Just as Xiao Mingyu was comforting her, Nan Xueyin suddenly spoke: "Yinyin."

Xiao Mingyu was stunned, "Hm?"

Nan Xueyin looked at him, "I am Yinyin, right?"

Xiao Mingyu laughed out loud.

He nodded, "Right, you are Yinyin. You are my Yinyin."

It seemed the sorcerer had truly succeeded.

Although Nan Xueyin had forgotten many things and could not even remember who she was, she had remembered "Yinyin," which was his pet name for her.

That she remembered this meant that what remained in her mind was mostly the emotions regarding him.

Xiao Mingyu glanced at the trembling sorcerer to the side, "Alright, go down and collect your reward!"

The sorcerer finally let out a long breath and retreated with profuse thanks.

"Husband," Nan Xueyin sat up and asked curiously, "Who was that person just now?"

"You were ill, and that was the doctor I invited for you."

"What illness did I have?"

Xiao Mingyu said gently: "You fell into the water and lost your memory."

Nan Xueyin suddenly realized, "No wonder I can't remember many things."

Xiao Mingyu smiled: "It doesn't matter; if there is anything you want to know, just ask me. Whatever you want to know, I will tell you."

Nan Xueyin nodded obediently: "Okay."

"Are you hungry?" Xiao Mingyu asked.

"A little bit."

"Then let's get up, we will eat breakfast together."

"Mm!"

Nan Xueyin sat on the edge of the bed, bent down, and put on her shoes.

She wanted to get up, but tried and failed to stand.

She looked up at Xiao Mingyu and called out as if acting spoiled: "Husband."

Xiao Mingyu's heart softened, and he asked: "What is it?"

"No strength, can't get up." Nan Xueyin spread her arms.

Xiao Mingyu smiled, came over, and helped her stand up.

Nan Xueyin stood still and said softly, "Thank you, husband."

Xiao Mingyu's mood was pleasant to an indescribable degree.

He suddenly felt annoyed; why had he only let Nan Xueyin be his Assassin before? He should have married her long ago.

She was usually cold and biting, like a sharp long sword; in the past, he only felt she was difficult to approach.

He never imagined she would have such a soft, sweet side, which was simply addictive.

The two went to the dining hall together to eat breakfast.

Sitting down at the dining table, Nan Xueyin looked a bit troubled.

Xiao Mingyu worried that she had remembered something or sensed that something was wrong, so he asked cautiously, "What is it?"

Nan Xueyin said softly, "Just now when we came over, a few maids looked at me with rather strange expressions. I don't know why."

Xiao Mingyu paused.

That was certainly strange.

The maids below did not know that Nan Xueyin had lost her memory, nor did they know that he now regarded Nan Xueyin as his Consort.

Seeing the two of them acting intimate, the maids dared not say anything, but their eyes surely could not hide their thoughts.

"They are merely worried about you; you are always very good to them on ordinary days, so they are afraid something happened to you." Xiao Mingyu was used to deceiving women, and lies came to him as easily as breathing.

Nan Xueyin believed him and nodded her head, "So that's how it is."

She felt relieved and picked up her chopsticks to eat.

Xiao Mingyu had not eaten more than two bites when he remembered something and said, "I just remembered I have another matter. I will go be busy for a while; you eat first."

"Mm-hmm!"

Nan Xueyin responded with her mouth full.

After Xiao Mingyu went out, he called Bai Sheng and Bai Chuan to his side and said, "Miss Nan has lost her memory and thinks she is my Consort. Regarding this matter, you two go down and warn those below; everyone must remember this. When you see her, you must call her Consort, and do not arouse her suspicion."

Bai Chuan's face was full of shock.

Before he could ask, Bai Sheng responded, "Yes, Prince."

After Xiao Mingyu finished speaking, he returned to the dining hall.

Bai Chuan muttered, "How could Miss Nan think she is the Consort... how strange."

Bai Sheng did not speak, only thinking to himself that he feared the Prince had told Miss Nan that he was her husband. It was just that the Prince was too concerned with his pride to admit he had done it himself, claiming instead that Miss Nan thought she was the Consort on her own.

He sighed.

This Duan Prince Mansion was truly becoming more and more chaotic.

Bai Sheng spread the word throughout the Duan Prince Mansion, and it inevitably reached the ears of Hua Lianying.

Nan Xueyin lost her memory?

Once she lost her memory, she actually became the Consort?

Then what about the things Xiao Mingyu promised her?!

Hua Lianying looked at her own face in the mirror, which was swollen from being beaten, and was furious. Gritting her teeth, she went to find her.

She had originally intended to go find Xiao Mingyu to reason with him, but halfway there, she saw Nan Xueyin sitting by the pond, feeding the fish in boredom.

"Sister truly has a refined interest," Hua Lianying said with a sarcastic tone, "Waking up from a sleep, you actually became the Consort."

Nan Xueyin looked at her, her face full of confusion, "She called me sister? Who is she?"

The maid Xiao Mingyu had sent to serve Nan Xueyin tried hard to make up for it, "Replying to the Consort, this is someone whose brain is not clear..."

Nan Xueyin understood, "So she is a fool."

Hua Lianying gritted her teeth.

She was already standing in front of Nan Xueyin, looking at the pond water, then looking at Nan Xueyin's ignorant appearance; suddenly, evil rose in her heart, and she reached out, violently pushing Nan Xueyin toward the water!

Who would have known, her palm pushed into empty air, and instead, she lost her own balance and fell into the water with a splash.

Hua Lianying struggled hard in the water, and while struggling, she saw Nan Xueyin sitting on the bank.

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat.

Nan Xueyin looked down from above, her eyes cold as knives; where was there any sign of memory loss!
