Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Xiao Fu was suddenly touched by someone and was startled. When she saw Anan, she took a breath of cold air.

"Is there something wrong?" There was some displeasure in her tone, and her facial expression was not very good, completely different from before, and even with a bit of resentment.

Seeing her like this, Anan was confused and asked again, "What happened?"

Xiao Fu opened her mouth several times but no sound came out. She just looked at her with a dark look in her eyes that seemed to contain infinite meaning. Slowly, her cheeks turned red.

Anan gently touched her forehead, which was a little hot. Just as he was about to ask Bai Shao to call someone over, Xiao Fu quickly pulled her hand down, her heartless smile returned to her face, and she blinked at her mysteriously: "You look a little stupid, are you hiding some secret that I don't know about?"

Anan thought of her close contact with Hongze and was speechless for a moment. A blush gradually appeared on her face. She cleared her throat and patted the back of her hand.

Xiao Fu fell on her lap and said with a smile: "The only one who suits your taste the most is the Savage Manor Master, right?"

This evoked infinite emotion in Anan's heart. She turned her head to look at the snowflakes falling outside the window and sighed.

"Tell me quickly!" Xiao Fu smiled and looked serious, even annoyed.

Anan looked back at her, unable to utter a word, and sighed again.

Xiao Fu sat up straight, holding her arms with both hands, staring at her again and again, and said, "You will definitely help me break off the engagement with Teng Lao Er, right?"

This girl doesn't know that her two uncles are in danger now. Maybe her family is worried about her and didn't tell her. Thinking of this, Anan reached out and patted her head gently and nodded.

"Well, then..." Xiao Fu did not let her go just because she got a satisfactory answer. Instead, she held her tighter and said slowly, "What about Jinyun? Will you help me with Jinyun's matter?"

I don't know whether to say she is ignorant of the ways of the world or arrogant and overbearing. Breaking off the engagement is a matter between the two families. If she insists on not wanting to, the Yuan family is not a family that needs an alliance in exchange for development, so they will naturally not force her. However, Anan smiled bitterly and said, "You have to ask Jinyun about this. I can't help even if I want to."

"No, as long as you ask, Jinyun will not refuse." Xiaofu murmured very confidently, "Jinyun and Hongze are such good brothers. You have already married the wild manor owner. He will be willing to marry your cousin..."

Anan glanced at a wine jar on the table, and thought that the girl was drunk and talking nonsense again. He sighed helplessly, smiled and shook his head, and asked Bai Shao to ask Nanny Su to come in and settle Xiaofu. He lay heavily on the bed, listening to the wind and snow in silence. Countless waves of turmoil rolled up in his heart, and he could not sleep all night.

That night, Yuan Ruolan also had trouble falling asleep. She had been restless since dinner and could not get a moment's peace. She asked a doctor to take her pulse, and after drinking a bowl of calming tea, she still felt no better. She lay there in a daze, half asleep and half awake, when Nanny Li came in to wake her up.

Mingqi had been waiting at the door early, and hurried over to greet her before she could speak. All the servants in the room had been dismissed, and only Nanny Li followed. Mingqi frowned and looked at Nanny Li.

Over the years, Nanny Li was the closest person to her and never avoided her no matter what. However, the anxiety in Mingqi's eyes made her inexplicably frightened, so she turned around and motioned for Nanny Li to go out first.
