Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

"Misunderstood." Anan held her hand, only to feel her palms were cold and her whole body was trembling slightly. Thinking of how scary Hongze was, and how she dared to scold him in person to protect him, his heart was full of gratitude.

Yu Ran did not take her words seriously. He just felt that she was afraid to speak out because of Hong Ze's tyranny, so he said, "When things are not balanced, they will make noises. Right and wrong will be judged by the public. Madam, don't be afraid. I promise here that even if we make a scene in front of the emperor today, no one will dare to hurt you in the slightest!"

Anan began to understand why the emperor valued Miss Yu so much.

She is not only smart, but also honest and kind. More importantly, she has great courage that ordinary people do not have.

Anan looked at her and smiled.

Before she could explain, Xiao Fu was kicked out.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Yi was carried out, and Ming Qi asked two servants to support him, followed by Jin Liu and Jin Yun, and finally him, who locked the door heavily.

The people in the corridor who were still awake looked at each other in bewilderment.

Jinyun was the first to see Anan. His face tensed and he lowered his head.

Jin Liu came over casually and said to Yu Ran who was beside Anan, "This girl looks unfamiliar. I wonder who she is from my sister-in-law's family?"

Anan couldn't help laughing, took a step back, took Hongze's hand and walked away.

Xiao Fu also pulled Jinyun's sleeve and said carefully: "Jinyun, it's too cold in the corridor, let's go inside!"

In the blink of an eye, Jin Liu and Yu Ran were the only ones left in the corridor. Xiang Xiang hesitated for a moment, stepped back a little, and just watched from a distance.

"Sixth Master, do you think I look unfamiliar?" Yu Ran laughed at herself and said coldly, "It's because I've committed a common sin that Sixth Master, who just met me a few days ago, feels that I look unfamiliar today."

Jin Liu was a little tipsy, so he didn't hear what she said clearly. He just leaned in to look at Yu Ran carefully before teasing, "Although you are not very pretty, you are pretty. Since you know me, you should know that I am just a playboy. Why do you belittle yourself like this?"

"Sixth Master really knows how to be gentle and considerate to women." Yu Ran looked at the unruly man in front of him and sighed silently in his heart.

Jin Liu looked very satisfied, with a fox-like charming smile on his face, and waved his hand and called softly: "Chang Xin!"

Chang Xin hurriedly turned the corner, bowed to him, and supported him: "Sir."

"Give the gold ingot in my bag to this girl." He seemed to be in a good mood and gave the order with a big laugh. He was always generous to women.

"Yes." Chang Xin lowered his eyes and really took out a purse embroidered with gold thread from his arms. He reached in and took out two gold ingots and handed them to Yu Ran.

Xiangxiang, who was behind, was angry and resentful. She stomped her feet and walked forward, but was stopped by Yu Ran with a look. She took the gold ingot with a sneer, turned around and left.

"Miss, are we just leaving like this?" Xiangxiang was indignant. "Shouldn't you explain it clearly to the prince? If you do this, there will be even greater misunderstandings in the future!"

"If I don't leave now, His Highness might think I'm going to stay and offer myself to him!" Yu Ran sneered, handed the two gold ingots to Xiang Xiang, and whispered, "Keep them well. I have to return these gold ingots to Sixth Master the way he rewarded me!"

No one knew where the carriage they had come from had gone. The two walked along the lotus pond for a while and saw Hongze and Anan talking in a small pavilion from afar.

Yu Ran couldn't help but frown. Jin Liuchang and Hong Ze always hang out together, and neither of them has a good reputation. When she thought of Anan, she couldn't help but feel worried for her.
