Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

After not seeing her for many days, Nanny Su's face was full of wrinkles and looked dusty. As soon as she saw her, her eyes immediately became red.

Anan came back to his senses and asked with a smile, "Mammy, what's the expression on your face? Did your cousin lose money on this business?"

Seeing her bright smile, Nanny Su felt relieved and smiled as well: "How can it be possible for Third Master to lose money? It's just that I haven't seen you for such a long time, and I miss you a little."

Anyone could see that Nanny Su was trying hard to hide something. Anan knew that she was trying to hide it, so he pretended not to notice and just told some jokes to make her happy.

At night, Yuan Yi also came. He looked at Anan seriously and scolded him, "It must be because Nanny Su is not at home. None of these maids can control you. You don't eat well and you have lost a lot of weight!"

Anan smiled and said, "It turns out that Xiaofu chose the right clothes. It makes me look thinner."

Yuan Yi then smiled, and immediately put down the tea bowl, and whispered: "I have ordered people to pack up, you should have a good rest, and we will set off for Beijing at dawn tomorrow."

Anan was stunned.

Yuan Yi explained: "After all, Yongning Guard is not as convenient as the capital. You are just visiting your relatives. One year is enough. I will take you with me!"

Anan smiled, but said seriously: "I came to visit my parents. I left without even seeing my husband. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain when I return."

Yuan Yi said: "Just go ahead and leave. There's nothing to explain. I'm here for you!"

Having said this, he put down the tea bowl and left, as if he was afraid that if he said one more word, she would be able to see the secret.

The house was in a mess, everyone was packing up, there was an unsettling sense of chaos and disorder. Anan went to bed early, his heart full of doubts. He asked Bai Shao to secretly go out and find out, but they said that everyone outside kept their mouths shut and no one dared to gossip. So after a round of searching, he found out nothing.

Xiao Fu sneaked into Anan's room at night, slipped into Anan's quilt like a loach, and said in a low voice: "Anan, I have something to tell you."

Anan thought she was going to talk about Jinyun, so he didn't say anything and just listened quietly.

She reached out and held Anan's hand tightly, then leaned close to Anan's ear and whispered, "Do you know what my brother has been doing with Su Ma for the past few months?"

Anan didn't expect that the secret that Yuan Yi and Nanny Su kept silent about was finally heard by Yuan Fu.

Yuan Fu's palms were full of sweat, as if she had made up her mind. After a long while, she continued, "Don't be afraid, Anan."

"What happened?" Anan asked her.

Xiao Fu sighed for a long time before she said confidently, "My brother and Nanny Su have been searching for several months and finally found your husband, Hong Ze. My brother heard that he seemed to be short of military funds and medicinal materials for healing and stopping bleeding, so he offered all of our family's assets in Yongning Guard in exchange, hoping that Lord Hong would be kind enough to write a letter of release to you."

"My brother and Nanny Su originally thought that even if Lord Hong didn't like our farms, at least his soldiers really needed a lot of medicine, so they would definitely be tempted. In addition, Lord Hong was in Yongning Guard but never came home to see you, which shows that he didn't like you. But who would have thought that Lord Hong would refuse outright."

Anan let out a long sigh, feeling mixed emotions.

"Madame Su said that Lord Hong would rather beat you to death than let you go!"

"Madame Su also said that this marriage was settled in front of the emperor, so I'm afraid it's impossible to divorce."
