Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Madam Su scolded, "You little girl, you don't know how to persuade the master but instead instigated him. Aren't you helping the tyrant? If the girl gets hurt, how will you explain to the mistress? I'll skin you alive!"

Bai Shao looked at Anan who seemed a little absent-minded and sighed softly. She just let Nanny Su nag and put the wine pot directly into Anan's hands without saying a word in rebuttal.

Anan picked up the sky-blue melon-shaped pot, his heart warmed, and he took a big gulp. The strong liquor flowed into his stomach like a knife cutting through his throat. He felt dizzy from the burning sensation. He turned around and said to Su Mama with a smile: "I scolded you for not sending me wine, and Su Mama scolded you for sending me wine. Bai Shao is really pitiful. She is destined to be scolded anyway!"

After hearing this, Nanny Su was both angry and amused, and was speechless for a moment.

Anan just looked up and drank.

Bai Shao's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, and she muttered to herself, "Let her drink, Mammy."

Although she was not clear about what exactly happened, she saw clearly last night that the reason why the son-in-law treated the girl like this was probably because he already had a beautiful wife hidden at home. A respectable family would definitely not favor a concubine and neglect the wife like this. What's more, the woman could not enter the gate of the Earl Hong's Mansion, so she was probably not even a concubine. She naturally didn't know how to comfort her own girl, and she just got drunk to relieve her sorrow.

Dong Qing pushed the door open and came in, laughing excitedly, "Madam brought a tailor here to make winter clothes for us! She asked me to come and call you!"

Bai Shao and Nanny Su frowned at the same time, looking at Anan who had already drunk half a pot of liquor. Nanny Su looked at Bai Shao and said, "Go! Come back and take my place when you have measured the liquor. The young lady always needs someone to serve her."

"Madam said that we should all go. She and Nanny Li are at the door and have something to say to the young lady." Dong Qing happily pulled the two of them and almost dragged them away.

Nanny Su was a little worried at first, but when she saw Yuan Ruolan and Nanny Li were indeed outside the door, she felt relieved and went with them.

Anan drank the last drop of wine in the pot, threw the pot on the table, let out a long sigh, and felt much more relieved. In a trance, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing in the room.

The drunkenness made her forget all her worries. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

He came over, gently took her hand, and called her in a low and hoarse voice: "Anan..."

Anan held his hand in return, naturally intertwining her fingers with his. She leaned over and stared at his face again and again. The familiar breath was so close to him. He swallowed his saliva, pulled her away a little, and whispered, "Sit down, I have something to tell you."

He sat down at the table and tried to place her in the chair next to him.

She came over clingingly, sitting on his lap, her two jade legs naturally wrapped around his neck, looking at him with a smile, mumbling, "Master Hong, what do you want?"

Yuan Ruolan and Nanny Li, who had been in the compartment outside, saw this scene and were immediately overwhelmed. They looked at each other with red faces.

"About Huaizhu..." He just opened his mouth to mention a name, but his mouth was covered tightly by her small hands.

He was afraid that Yuan Ruolan would be unhappy, so he didn't hold her waist even when she sat on his lap, and just let her hold him. But now she covered his mouth with both hands and almost slipped off his legs, so he subconsciously reached out and hugged her.
