Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Anan buried her head deeply in his chest and took a deep breath. The smell of alcohol mixed with the crisp scent of pine came to her nose. On the contrary, she herself, who was covered in sweat, could not help but grin.

He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips again, then slowly let her go and urged her with a smile, "Go take a shower, the water will be cold soon."

"Aren't you coming with us?" Anan raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

He smiled, pinched her cheek and kissed her hard, then said lovingly, "I want to, too, but I have to go to court."

This house is good in every way except that it is far from the imperial palace. If we rush there now, I am afraid we won't have enough time.

Seeing him changing into court robes, Anan originally wanted to go forward to help, but she had never even seen these things before, so she couldn't help at all. On the other hand, he had a smile on his face throughout the whole process and looked back at her from time to time.

Anan walked him to the door.

"Take a shower and sleep for a while. I'll come back later to have lunch with you and take you to choose a house." He held her in his arms, hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his flesh and blood. He was reluctant to let her go until he saw Bian appear, and then he slowly let her go.

The person who was supposed to have lunch with her had not returned by the afternoon, but He Lang did come.

He Lang and a group of people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were waiting outside, saying that they were ordered by the Crown Prince to invite Mrs. Hong to go and choose a house.

At that time, Yuan Ruolan brought Yuan Yi and personally delivered her daily necessities and several maids. Anan thought about choosing a house and felt a little worried, so he said, "Hongze has not returned from the palace yet, but the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs have come first. I have never dealt with these people, so I really don't know how to choose."

Yuan Ruolan also said seriously: "If I choose too well, I'm afraid it will affect my son-in-law's good reputation. If I choose badly, I'm afraid it will make the Crown Prince lose face. After all this, I really don't know how to choose."

Yuan Yi smiled and said, "In my opinion, you don't need to worry so much. Hongze is not here anyway. If the choice is good, everyone will be happy. If the choice is not good, you can blame it on a woman like you who doesn't know so much. When the time comes, Hongze will come out to support us. We can attack or defend. It's not a big deal."

"Besides, the people in this palace are also human beings. We have seen many people who are deceitful and treacherous. If you are on guard, even ten of them are no match for you. It is better to be completely defenseless and speak directly. This will make people less annoyed." After Yuan Yi finished speaking, he looked at Jiuling who was passing the message outside the door, "Are you going to let someone from the palace wait here?"

After hearing Yuan Yi's words, Anan took them seriously. After washing up simply, he followed them out.

Most of these houses were owned by former officials who had resigned or were confiscated, so they were quite respectable. Anan had actually planned this long ago, but He Lang was too enthusiastic and wanted to take her to visit all the existing houses in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was difficult to refuse, so she followed the route he arranged, but she remained polite all the way and didn't say a word.

Na Helang was the best at observing people's expressions. Seeing that Anan didn't say anything, he took the initiative to speak: "Madam, are you not satisfied with these houses?"

"The angel treated my husband and me very well and chose the best houses. I am very grateful. I just want to ask Your Highness for a house near the palace." She thought for a moment and explained with a smile, "We are now temporarily living in the east of the city. Every day, the master has to travel day and night to attend the morning court. I think it would be great if we could get a house near the palace. I just don't know if it is appropriate. Please consult the angel."
