Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Madam Ge waved her hands and said impatiently: "Don't make me say it again, let Brother Yuan only marry Miss Seven!"

"Oh, so this is what Madam meant." Anan suddenly realized.

"Do you understand now?" Hong Chu looked at her with a wry smile.

Anan nodded stupidly.

"Then go back quickly!" Madam Ge waved her hand with a sneer, narrowing her eyes and saying, "You mentioned the three hundred betrothal gifts before, don't give less than one!"

"That won't work." Anan shook his head very straightforwardly.

Mrs. Ge was furious. She widened her eyes, slammed the table hard, sat up and scolded, "What did you say?"

"Why?" Hong Chu sneered, "If sister-in-law is boasting too much, the betrothal gifts don't have to be in full. It's okay to have one or two less."

"It's not about the dowry." Anan frowned, "It's just that I can't marry only the seventh girl!"

"Are you a fool?" Madam Ge threw a teacup at Anan's feet and sneered, "You are a lowly family with short-sightedness. You still want to win over people through marriage. Don't you think that the Right Prime Minister is the head of all officials? If you become his son-in-law, won't all his connections be at your disposal? By then, not to mention Yuan Yi wanting to be an official, even your whole family can get promoted easily!"

"Madam, you have great foresight!" Anan said in admiration. "Although I am dull, I have heard of the reputation of the Right Prime Minister. However, before my husband left home, he mentioned to me that my brother Yuan has been engaged with someone with his consent. No matter how many wives he has married, the girl must be the principal wife. Let me tell you in advance, if I go to propose marriage tomorrow, do I want my brother Yuan to marry this seventh girl as his concubine?"

"How dare you!" Hong Chu shouted angrily with red eyes.

Anan thought for a moment and then said, "Could it be that Miss Seven wants to be my brother Yuan'er's concubine?"

Without waiting for the mother and daughter to react, he shook his head and said, "You can't do this, you can't do this!"

Madam Ge was so angry that she kept shaking her head. Just as she was about to speak, Hong Chu regained his senses first, raised his hand to stop his mother, turned to Anan and whispered, "Don't you want your family to leave the business community? As long as you can get my eldest brother to cancel my fourth brother's marriage and propose marriage to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion instead, I will agree to it."

"Miss, it's not that I don't want to, I just don't dare!" Anan looked up at the ceiling and said helplessly, "You all know my husband's temper. Even if I don't provoke him, I will be beaten every day. If I dare to disobey him, won't I be beaten to death on the spot? Although wealth and honor are good, you have to live to enjoy them. I don't dare to do this."

"Ze Ge is willing to hit you?" Mrs. Ge was stunned for a moment. These words were completely different from what she had heard.

"Do you think I would lie to you about something so embarrassing?" Anan was anxious, and hurried to take off his clothes, saying, "He hit me in places that are inconvenient for outsiders to see! If Madam and Miss don't believe me, I will take off my clothes and let you take a good look!"

There were countless implications behind these words, which made Hong Chu blush. Even Mrs. Ge almost couldn't sit still. She slapped the edge of the kang and said angrily, "Stand still!"

Anan then slowly put down his hand, looked at them with a smile, and said with an innocent yet extremely serious face: "I dare not mess with him!"

Hong Chu hesitated for a long time before he slowly uttered a few words: "I understand. You can go back first!"

Mrs. Ge was so angry that her whole body ached. She lay down with her head down, unwilling to speak. She turned her back to Anan and didn't say a word.
