Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

"Hello, Madam." Anan nodded quickly.

The woman was about thirty years old. She was not very young and beautiful, but she was very kind and friendly.

She stared at Anan's face for a long time, then stroked Anan's head with a smile and sighed, tears welling up in her eyes: "He really looks good, but so pitiful."

Xiao Fu was panicked for a moment, and hurried forward, smiling shyly, "Madam, my sister just woke up, please don't mention her sad story at this time."

Mrs. Wang nodded in agreement, wiped her tears, exchanged a few more words of greeting, and then turned and left.

Xiao Fu was sent to the door, turned around to meet Anan's sharp gaze, and immediately gave a flattering smile.

"What did you say to them?" Anan was most afraid of lying on the bed. Even though she was still weak and dizzy, she still supported herself and slowly got out of bed.

The house was simple, and the tables, chairs, and cabinets must have been used for a long time. In addition, due to the humid climate, they were all old, but they were spotless and neatly arranged, which made people feel indescribable joy.

Anan walked to the window and gently pushed it open, letting the sunlight pour in and shine on her face.

Xiao Fu followed closely behind her, feeling very guilty and smiling awkwardly with her head down.

"Butler Wang told me that he can take you away." Anan didn't turn around, but said calmly, "Now that I'm awake, you pack up and we'll go thank the butler later. Let's go now!"

"Cousin! Cousin!" Xiao Fu panicked, and rushed forward to hug her, talking all at once, "I told them that our family suffered a misfortune and we ended up living in Yongning with our relatives. But our relatives were so cruel that they wanted to sell us to prostitutes. We fled in a panic and got separated. I accidentally entered Xinyun Manor because I was running for my life, and you found this place after asking around. Now, my sisters and I have no home. If we leave the manor, we will end up living in a prostitute."

Anan felt a chill running down his back.

Xiao Fu grinned and said, "Cousin, I'm smart, right?"

"Not only is she smart, she's also very bold." Anan was displeased, with a hint of anger in his tone, and glanced back at her.

Xiao Fu was confused and called her in a coquettish manner, begging: "Cousin..."

Anan was helpless: "If you were fooling around at home on a normal day, it would be fine, but do you know what Xinyun Manor is? Can you fool them with such nonsense?"

The well-trained doorman, the large medicine house with lights on all night, the housekeeper and his wife who are neither humble nor arrogant, which one of them does not highlight the hidden and extraordinary identity of the host?

Yongning Guard was located on the border where Japanese invaders were rampant. Yet they were able to eliminate Xiao Fu's suspicion of being a spy in just half a day. This alone made them a thousand times stronger than the two thousand-household officers of Yongning Guard.

Xiao Fu was stunned for a moment, and stood there in a daze, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Anyway, I didn't ask any more questions."

Anan sighed softly, and could only be thankful that the people in Xinyun Manor were kind-hearted. They ruled out that Xiaofu and himself were not spies of the Japanese pirates, so they accepted them with tolerance and enthusiastically helped them without delving into their origins. Otherwise...

A willful decision ruined the reputation of two people. Xiaofu, who had been pampered since childhood, certainly could not have imagined such a terrible ending.

Anan didn't say anything, but stared at her with a determined look in his eyes.

Xiao Fu pouted and clasped her cuffs with her fingers: "Cousin, I really like Jinyun very much!"

Anan sighed softly.

Xiao Fu was very good at observing people's expressions. She knew that Anan had softened his heart, so she squeezed out two tears and hung them on her face. She begged in a sobbing voice, "I would rather die than marry Teng Lao Er!"
