Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

As soon as Hong Yuan left, Anyuan Marquis' wife, Mrs. Ge, sent someone to tell Anan to come over for a chat.

Nanny Su was a little anxious after hearing this: "This man is used to bullying others. I don't think anything good will come out of him finding the girl."

Bai Shao and the others were still haunted by the last incident in which the women of the Earl's Mansion smashed and cursed in the house, so they all spoke out in opposition and refused to let Anan go.

Anan just smiled and said, "No matter how much we have fallen out, the Earl's Mansion is Hongze's home after all. No matter what this Ge family summons me for, it would be wrong for me not to go. Even if I go, it won't matter."

Nanny Su knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she quickly ordered her servants to go find Jiuling. Anan thought for a moment and said with a smile, "After all, it's a place for women. Even if Jiuling goes there, it's inconvenient for her to enter. Nanny, go call Chu Qing and change her clothes. Come with me."

"Yes," Bai Shao clapped her hands in praise, "Miss Qingqing has fought on the battlefield before. Even if a few women are really strong, they can't do anything to her!"

Even the always cautious Nanny Su was very satisfied at this moment and nodded, saying, "Ms. Qingqing is indeed reliable. I feel relieved to have her following our young lady."

Chu Qing didn't know where she was going. Her mind was full of those messy numbers and she was panicked.

Seeing that she was always nervous, Anan handed her a piece of cloud cake and smiled, "Don't worry, just look at these things more and do more. It's not as difficult as you following Brother Yuan around."

Chu Qing took the snack, forced a smile, ate it very carefully, and hesitated to speak.

Anan lifted the curtain to look outside, and said to her without turning his head: "If you want to say something polite or thank you, there is no need. Since I have kept you as the accountant, it means I trust your ability."

Chu Qing nodded solemnly and buried his head in eating.

The carriage entered the Earl's Mansion, where a sedan chair was already waiting inside. Several sturdy servants took Anan directly to Ge's backyard.

Anan had been observing this place all the way and found that it was similar to the house left by his mother-in-law. He understood a little and laughed coldly. Chu Qing, Bai Shao, Jing Mo and others followed behind the sedan chair. The Earl's Mansion did not prepare a sedan chair for them, so they could only walk on the snow.

Ge's room was filled with gold and silver, and it looked quite lively. Ge was leaning on the kang, and next to her sat the eldest daughter, Hong Chu. After just a few days' absence, her belly had grown bigger. She supported her waist with some difficulty, and looked at Anan with a smile. Perhaps it was because the room was warm, and the arrogant and unreasonable Mrs. Ge now looked a lot more kind.

Last time, they weren't so polite.

"I heard that elder brother went out on a business trip. Mother has been talking about you recently, saying that you are taking care of things alone at home. She doesn't know if you have missed anything and whether you miss elder brother. My mother and I originally wanted to go see you, but mother had a migraine and it hurts a lot. I am also very heavy, so it is not convenient for me to go out. So we asked you to come here. We are all family, so you won't mind, right, sister-in-law?" Hong Chu's face was full of smiles and his tone was particularly affectionate.

It was not known whether it was because of a real headache or just to echo Hong Chu's words, but Mrs. Ge hummed twice at the right time. She looked weak indeed, not at all as majestic as she was that day in Mingxiangju.

Anan smiled lightly, bowed, and said softly, "What are you talking about, young lady?"

After the ceremony, he said nothing more and did not sit down. He just stood and lay down, looking at the mother and daughter with a smile on his face.
