Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

After the Su mamas and the little maids had left, Mingqi lifted the curtain of the carriage. Just as he was about to get in, Anan jumped off by herself and smiled at him.

He was stunned for a moment and smiled back at her.

This was the first time they stood face to face, the two of them braving the wind and snow, looking into each other's eyes.

Mingqi looked at the girl standing quietly in the snow, watching the crystal snowflakes fall on her black hair, and smiled after a while: "You have really grown up."

"My wife came to me today." He looked at her, "and said you don't want to marry my cousin?"

He is quite straightforward.

Anan smiled and nodded, and asked him: "Brother Qi, why did you come here so late just to ask me this?"

Mingqi smiled deeply and looked at her very seriously: "Can I ask why?"

Anan answered him directly: "In fact, it's not just my cousin, some of the other brothers are also not good enough."

Mingqi's face flushed, he coughed dryly, and licked his lips nervously. Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Anan smiled and said, "Qige, go back and tell mother that the child has grown up and has his own plans. Don't worry."

"Girl," Mingqi said very seriously, "It's my fault that things have developed to this point. I didn't think carefully enough and put you in this situation now."

"It's just a crime to possess a treasure. What does it have to do with you? Brother Qi, there is really no need to take on so much." Anan yawned and took two steps forward.

"Miss!" Mingqi took a step forward, blocking her way, and whispered, "The An family came to your house yesterday, saying that you were alone and helpless and now you have no in-laws to take care of you, so they wanted to take you back."

The An family are really good at taking advantage of every opportunity. Their mother had cut off ties with the Yuan family in time before. Now their desire to marry the daughter of the An family is fake, but their real desire is to get some benefits. It's a pity that everyone in the Yuan family hates them so much that they have completely broken off relations with them. They will never hand themselves over, and they are even more unwilling to have anything to do with their family. No wonder they are so anxious to find a new marriage for her!

Anan smiled and said, "Are they planning to sell me out again?"

"Having said that, your surname is An after all. Even if the Yuan family is as rich as a country, what can it do? After all, they are just the lowest-level merchants. If a real dispute comes to a head, how can they compete with the officials?" Mingqi's worries were real.

"Qi Ge'er, if you have something to say, just say it." Anan couldn't help but smile as she saw how earnestly he spoke. Given how cunning this man was, it was impossible for him to come over in the middle of the night and cause trouble for her.

Mingqi heard her say this and smiled with relief: "Do you know Qingcheng Mountain?"

"I don't know." Anan shook his head.

Mingqi didn't care about her attitude and said concisely, "Qingcheng Mountain is the most famous medical school. Disciples, regardless of gender or family background, are not allowed to enter the government. They concentrate on studying medicine, writing medical books, and often help the poor and needy, and donate medical treatment and medicine. Although they have no official titles, they are deeply loved by the people, and even the government has to give them some face. When my wife was waiting to be married, she studied there. She often missed the time she spent in the mountains, and always asked me to visit her in the mountains and give her some worldly gifts."

At this point, he glanced at Anan, only to see that she was concentrating and had stopped yawning, so he continued, "Now that the master has passed away, the one in charge of Qingcheng Mountain is Madam's senior brother, Mr. Xuanzhi. If the young lady can become Mr. Xuanzhi's disciple, then the current difficulties will not be a big deal."

After that, he looked at Anan and smiled, "I guess since the young lady doesn't know Qingcheng Mountain, her abacus probably didn't reach that point."
