Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Nanny Li patted her back gently and said comfortingly, "I heard that the current queen and your majesty were married when they were young, and they have never left each other despite many ups and downs. Their love has lasted for decades, which shows that there is still a way to love someone exclusively."

Yuan Ruolan smiled deeply and sighed, "That being said, you only saw this one incident. Not to mention my two younger brothers, even merchants have two or three concubines. Lord Hong is the eldest son of the Earl's Mansion and a third-rank official at a young age. How could he favor only one person just because Nan'er's backyard is empty?"

"Madam, you worry too much. Your son-in-law has great talent in fighting on the battlefield, and our daughter is also very intelligent. This marriage is protected by the royal family, so they will surely live in harmony and grow old together." Nanny Li patted her on the back, signaling her not to stay in the snow any longer.

"That's another thing I'm worried about. Fighting on the battlefield means risking your life. I was unlucky not to grow old with Yuanbai, and I have been alone in my empty room until now. My two younger brothers and their wives are kind and always take care of the An family, but the An family doesn't care about Yuanbai at all, and they ignore the kindness of the Yuan family and still send my daughter away as a favor. I don't have any ability to protect myself."

"If something happens to Hongze in the future, how will Anan live in such a dangerous place like the Hong family? What if Nan'er follows my old path?" She couldn't help crying when she was talking about the sad part, and said sadly, "If that's the case, their deep love will be hindered."

If she had not been deeply in love with An Yuanbai, she could have chosen someone else to marry, and there was no need to do this. Now that the boat has passed through thousands of mountains, she still feels terrified when she thinks back on the hardships.

"Being so worried and anxious may not be a good thing for our girl..." Nanny Li comforted her.

The master and servant walked one after the other in the snow-covered corridor, talking to each other intermittently in the dim light.

The next day, the maids in the room got up early and were busy sweeping outside. Occasionally, there were two footsteps, but they were very light, for fear of disturbing her sweet dreams. Anan sat on the couch with sleepy eyes, and saw Su Ma Ma coming with a bowl of hangover soup, complaining: "Young lady, you can't be so willful in the future!"

Anan thought of his "erotic dream" last night and felt in a good mood. He took the sobering soup with a smile, drank the sour and spicy soup in one gulp, threw the bowl on the table casually, and lay back contentedly.

"My dear girl, get up quickly!" Nanny Su smiled and shook her head, and pulled her up from the couch. "Madam said she wanted to talk to you and Miss Fu. Now Miss Fu is gone, and you still want to stay in bed!"

"Didn't mother go home last night?" Anan sat up and yawned. Even before he woke up, he could feel something was wrong. Yuan Ruolan rarely stayed overnight outside, and she had only been to this mountain garden once.

After a quick wash, Anan went downstairs to the side room at the back to look for her mother and Xiaofu. The breeze suddenly stopped and the cold grew. She unconsciously pulled her hands into her cloak and took two quick steps.

The room was hot. As soon as Anan opened the curtain and went in, he saw Xiaofu kneeling on the ground and was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Fu looked up and saw that it was her, and winked at her repeatedly.

Anan knelt down in front of her, but he was a little confused. He just stared blankly at Yuan Ruolan who was leisurely drinking tea.

"Tell me, how do you know Hongze?" Yuan Ruolan didn't even raise her head, holding the tea bowl with her slender jade fingers, her tone was gentle, but her question was calm and unquestionable.
