Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

The women kept saying more and more, and their words became more and more unpleasant. Even the two little girls couldn't stand it anymore and took two steps forward. One of the bolder ones stood in front of Anan with open arms and said, "Ladies, my wife is still sick. Please be kind and don't talk about her like this!"

There was a silence, followed by a burst of laughter.

The little girl was just a little girl after all. She had never seen so many shrews at once, nor had she experienced the viciousness of these people. Even when she spoke, she spoke in a soft and timid voice.

The purple-robed lady in the upper seat sneered, "Look at their rules! They let a little bitch who hasn't even grown all her hair come to the hall to talk! Slap her in the face!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two burly old maids came up, raised their hands and slapped the little girl several times without hesitation.

The little girl's eyes were red, she just covered her face but didn't dare to cry, but still stood in front of Anan stubbornly, as if she was afraid that the old lady would rush over and beat Anan too. Anan forced himself to stand up, but fell heavily into the chair again.

"My dear wife, don't blame me for teaching your people a lesson! It's because your people don't have any rules at all!" The purple-clothed woman shook her head proudly and squinted at the little girl. "It's because these servants think you are young and bold, so they dare to say whatever they want! It's no use not giving them a lesson!"

This was openly a scolding to the little girl who stood up for Anan, but secretly a stab at Anan for refuting those women at the plum blossom viewing banquet yesterday.

Anan just pretended not to understand and covered her eyes with a handkerchief. She was really worried that she wouldn't be able to cry, so she smeared some menthol left by Aunt Su on the handkerchief. When she rubbed it on her eyes, tears couldn't stop falling, and she looked very pitiful.

She cried to the little girl in front of her, "You go to the back now. It is a blessing for you that the Countess teaches you. You must remember this in the future."

The little girl wiped her tears, nodded, and walked behind Anan.

Anan wiped her eyes with the handkerchief for a while, sobbing. Seeing how miserable she was, the group of people couldn't help feeling proud.

After a while, the medical clinic of the Earl's Mansion arrived.

The female doctor was quite old, with red lips, white teeth and a pair of bright eyes. When she saw Anan, she knelt down and greeted her, calling her "Grandma".

Anan hurriedly asked the little girl to get some gold leaves as a reward for her, and then he stretched out his hand generously.

Everyone held their breath, all eyes focused on the female doctor.

The female doctor touched and felt again and again, and her brows began to frown.

Anan covered his mouth with a handkerchief and looked at her expectantly.

After taking the pulse, she turned to look at the Countess first and shook her head gently.

"We are all family, there is nothing to hide, just tell it straight!" The Countess glanced at her sideways and instructed casually.

"Grandma's pulse is stable, and she is in good health." After saying this, the female doctor went to see Anan.

Everyone looked at her with different expressions.

"Really? That's great!" Anan laughed immediately, struggled to get up from the chair, and was about to grab the female doctor's hand. The female doctor was a little scared, so she dodged backwards. Anan missed and almost fell down. Fortunately, the maid beside him was quick-eyed and pulled her back.
