Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Anan had no intention of going there at first. Since he had already received the message from the servant, he believed it to be true and drove to the Yuan family's old house first.

The old house seemed unusually quiet, unlike usual days. Her mother and two aunts were all in Xiangqi Garden. A servant had already reported the matter inside. As soon as the sedan chair arrived at the door, she saw Nanny Li standing at the door waiting for her in the wind and snow.

"Young lady, the two masters went out two days ago in the afternoon and have not returned yet." Nanny Li came forward, her eyes red from crying, and said in a low voice, "After asking, I found out that someone saw the two of them riding in a carriage towards the city center, but that carriage was not ours and had never been seen before. After that, no one saw them again and no one knew where they went."

Nanny Li grabbed Anan's hand and burst into tears: "Fortunately, Qi Ge'er and Manager Luo took full responsibility. The business accounts in the past two days are all normal. Their private seals are still used, so people outside don't know about this yet. But the family is in chaos. Madam has arrived and is discussing with the two aunts. I didn't tell anyone because I was afraid you would get anxious and angry. It just so happened that you came..."

When Anan entered the house, his two aunts and mother were already crying.

Mingqi stood behind his mother, looking serious but not flustered, just staring at the corner of the table, as if in a daze. Luo Ming Anan had met him several times. He was the current steward of the Yuan family and was trusted by his two uncles.

Seeing her coming, the two aunts became even sadder, and even the mother started crying again.

Anan said nothing, came and sat next to his mother, looking at them.

"That morning he told me he was coming back to eat hotpot, but he just turned around and left without even saying hello!" Liu sobbed, "Although your two uncles often have business social events, they are always very sensible and have never done this before, disappearing without even saying hello."

Zhang cried even more sadly, saying, "My brother and some of my nephews have searched the whole city. Today they quietly went out of the city to look for him, but they still haven't found him. It's so cold and snowing. Your uncle has always been pampered and can't stand any grievances at home. He can't stand even the slightest damage to his clothes. I'm afraid he has been kidnapped. I don't know if he has a roof over his head!"

Anan held their hands, looked at his mother, smiled and said, "I'm telling you the truth! My two uncles left to prepare a birthday party for my aunt, and they told me not to let it slip. But you guys are crying like this, and I feel bad for you so I told you the truth. If the uncles blame you later, you have to feel bad for me!"

After hearing this, the few people all stopped crying, and were surprised and happy. However, Zhang was still hesitant and said weakly: "Birthday banquets are held every year, why is it necessary to do this?"

"It's because we hold it every year that we need to be creative!" Anan laughed, "My uncle said that my aunt's family is from Lingnan, so we must find some Lingnan specialties to show our sincerity. Aunt, please don't be sad. If you cry and hurt your eyes, my uncle will be heartbroken."

"Since we are going to Lingnan to look for treasure, he alone is enough. Why should we bring Dalang along? Now that Yiger is not here, there is no one at home to make decisions." Liu finally stopped crying and complained with sobs.

Anan smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have Uncle Luo and Mingqi here anyway."

Yuan Ruolan sighed softly, turned around to look at Mingqi, and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work."

Mingqi smiled slightly, said nothing, and continued to think deeply.
