Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Seeing him hesitant like that, Yuan Ruolan was stunned for a moment. She had no idea what he wanted to say. Seeing that he looked a little panicked, she suddenly remembered that when Anan was leaving, he gave away all the dowry he brought with him but still couldn't get a divorce letter. Her heart sank immediately, and she even felt a little disappointed for a moment.

She turned her head and winked at Li Ma, who immediately understood and took out a stack of banknotes from the cabinet. Yuan Ruolan took the banknotes, gently placed them on the table, slowly pushed them in front of him, and said softly: "Thank you again for your help! This is just a small token of my gratitude. I hope you don't mind. In the future, I will need you to take care of my brother's affairs in the palace. I am very grateful."

Although Yuan Ruolan rarely took care of business in recent years, she was a shrewd person after all. She had seen many officials who took advantage of others' misfortunes before. Naturally, she would not be naive enough to think that this young general, who had never liked her daughter and had never shown any favor to the An family, would be so kind for no reason.

As for his hesitation at the moment, in Yuan Ruolan's eyes, it was just the immaturity of making money for the first time.

"Madam, there is a misunderstanding between Anan and me." He could see the expression on Yuan Ruolan's face clearly. He was not good at small talk and politeness. He was only thinking about how to explain his avoidance of Anan. Seeing that Yuan Ruolan misunderstood his intention, he was afraid that the more he explained, the more trouble would be made. So he made up his mind, stood up and bowed, saying, "Please allow me to see her, Madam."

He looked at Yuan Ruolan expectantly, as if the surprise in her eyes was not important.

Yuan Ruolan was also shocked by his honesty. It took her a while to come to her senses. She looked at him intently and suddenly laughed.

He thought for a moment and said sincerely, "I know that I have a bad reputation and Madam thinks I am not a good son-in-law. If Madam still has doubts about me, I beg Madam to allow me to go with you. I just hope... to see her. There are some misunderstandings and I want to explain them to her in person."

Yuan Ruolan pondered for a while and nodded slightly.

The days were getting shorter in winter, and there was less and less time to enjoy the huge plum garden. But Xiao Fu kept pestering her to drink. Before she had even finished the wine jug she brought, it was already dark. She kept pestering Anan to talk, and all she talked about was Jinyun.

Jinyun's father was promoted a few days ago, and his discipline on him has become much stricter. It is inconvenient for him to go out, and I am afraid it will be even more difficult for them to meet in the future...

Jinyun was busy revising the prescription and had almost no free time...

After Jinyun returned to the capital, countless young ladies from official families flocked to him...

Even though there were beauties who favored him, Jinyun never spoke a word. People outside were talking about him and thought he might have a sexual fetish...

Anan only thought of the sweet and coquettish voice last night, and her heart became more depressed. She accompanied Xiaofu to drink, but found it boring.

Xiao Fu was a little drunk. She kept patting Anan's back with her hands and started crying again.

Nanny Su came in from outside, frowned at the two sisters, and hurriedly ordered someone to send Xiao Fu to the guest room to rest. Then she came over to gently comb her long hair that was scattered on her shoulders, and said with a smile: "To be honest, this is really strange. Miss Fu was heartless when she was young, but now she has grown up to be sentimental. Miss, you have been thoughtful since you were a child, but now that you have grown up, you are the most generous and open-minded."

"Mammy, please pour me a pot of Nan Shao! Her flower dew is too sweet and really boring." Anan put the wine glass on the table and stared at his bare feet in a daze.

Nanny Su wanted to say something, but Bai Shao got up and hurried over, but she took it back in the blink of an eye.
