Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Seeing that it was past the hour of Chou and there was still no movement outside, Ma finally couldn't hold back any longer. She looked up at Anan and couldn't help but go over everything that happened yesterday in her mind.

At this moment, Anan was reading the book in his hand under the oil lamp, and he suddenly realized that he had mistaken the girl for a vase because of her outstanding appearance, and rashly went to her house to cause trouble. It was a foolish act of underestimating the enemy, which was really a ridiculous mistake!

Look at this humble, calm and composed posture. He seems harmless and non-aggressive, but in fact he is meticulous and scheming, able to hide all his edge. I can't help but shudder.

Anan didn't look up, but whispered to Bai Shao: "Go get a hot water bottle for Madam."

Bai Shao agreed and went out.

Ma looked outside again, and thinking of Hongze's face, she simply gritted her teeth and lowered her head and said, "My niece-in-law, I have something to ask of you!"

Anan put down the book in his hand, stared at her in a daze, and said hurriedly: "Madam is the elder, your words are too polite. Although we don't often interact, we are family after all. If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to be so polite."

Ma was in a trance for a moment, and was overjoyed. No matter whether her niece-in-law was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid, people outside said that Hongze doted on her to death and was willing to die to save her two uncles from her mother's side. Now, as long as she was willing to plead with Hongze, he would definitely not stand idly by.

This was the first time she had seen a ray of hope in recent days. She no longer cared about her face and hurriedly said, "Your second uncle was detained by the Jinyiwei, saying that he was corrupt! I know your second uncle best. He is a coward. How could he do such a thing that would cost him his life? There must be someone behind the scenes who is trying to get him into trouble and make him suffer injustice! He has to take the blame for others!"

At this point, she pulled out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, saying, "Just now, the servants went to visit him in prison and heard by chance that he was beaten black and blue in the Jinyiwei prison. It's a pity that he has been weak since he was a child. I don't know if he can withstand the torture."

As he spoke he began to sob.

Anan looked at her with a smile, without interrupting or saying anything to comfort her, he just smiled.

She wiped her tears and continued, "Now Ze Ge'er is a close minister of the Crown Prince, and has always been on good terms with the Sixth Prince who is in charge of the Imperial Guards. I was thinking, can I ask Ze Ge'er to say a few good words to ask the Sixth Prince to let him go!"

At this point, she stood up and pretended to kneel down. Anan put down the book in his hand, tried to stop her, and said with a worried look on his face: "Madam, you are really confused!"

"Ah?" Ma was puzzled, stood up straight and looked up at Anan.

"Madam, you really found the wrong person! You also know that I come from a merchant family, three generations of business, and I am young and ignorant. I am not very clear about what you are talking about. I am just trusted by the master and in charge of household affairs. If you want to talk to me about some household affairs, whether it is the farm, shop, house, silver, jewelry, etc., I can still make the decision and say a few words, but the outside affairs are all handled by the master. How dare I interrupt casually? Even if I really dare to say it, the master will not listen!" Anan said sincerely, and his anxiety was also real. "Madam, you should find someone else to think of a solution! It's not worth wasting time here."

"Ze'er never told you these things?" Ma heard that she was obviously more indifferent than Ge. Her heart turned cold instantly and her smile disappeared. "You two are in love, and everyone in the capital knows it!"
