Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

These words sounded very righteous, and Mrs. Wei was very pleased. She kept holding Anan's hand throughout the meal and talked endlessly.

On the way home, Anan was already a little drunk, leaning against the wall of the carriage. Yu Ran handed her a cup of hot tea, shook his head and smiled, "Why are you so blatantly trying to get close to Madam Wei? What are you planning now?"

Anan sighed softly, took the teacup lazily and drank it all, and said softly: "Didn't Madam Wei want to test me? Today is a good opportunity for her to see that both my husband and I value Hong Cu's sister very much!"

"Hongze ran away because Hongyuan was abused. He has been gone for ten years. Although this matter has not been concluded, it is an open secret in the entire capital. I am afraid that they may not believe you if you rashly show your affection to the women in the Earl's Mansion."

"Originally they wouldn't, but now even if they don't, someone is forcing them to do it!" Anan sneered, "Hong Ling's matter is a good excuse. It can fool Madam Wei, but it may not fool Mrs. Ge. But there is one thing that is certain, that is, since the left prime minister was implicated in the corruption case and was imprisoned, the power of the right prime minister in the court has been greatly reduced. He wanted to win over Hong Ze long ago. As long as I am willing, someone will naturally force them to come and deal with me."

"Why are you doing this?" Yu Ran sighed softly, "The Ge family is not easy to deal with. Now you and Hongze are living a carefree life. Hongze accompanies you every day except when she is on duty. She has no free time at all. Why do you have to get involved with them in everything you do? Isn't this obviously asking for trouble?"

"I have my reasons for getting involved with them." Anan became more and more drunk, and he lay down on the stool and fell into a deep sleep.

Yu Ran took the cloak and covered her with it, then shook his head gently.

The carriage suddenly stopped.

Hongze asked outside: "Princess, is Anan in the carriage?"

Yu Ran smiled and said, "She's drunk, I'll take her back!"

"Don't bother your princess. I'll come and pick her up." As Hongze said this, Bai Shao reached out to push Anan.

Anan sat up sleepily, and then she heard Hongze calling her outside. She seemed to come alive immediately, and ran out happily. It was not until she opened the curtain that she remembered to turn around and say goodbye to Yu Ran, and waved with a smile.

Hongze didn't wait for her to step on the step stool to get off the car. He picked her up and put her on the horse. He also got on the horse, put his arm around her waist, and complained in a low voice: "You have had a lot of fun these days and have more social activities than me!"

Anan nestled in his arms, yawned comfortably, and murmured with a pout, "There is no handsome young man who is both good-looking and can dance at our banquet..."

"You've been upset about this for so long, and you're not annoying me!" Hong Ze couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, and said lovingly: "You can't get over this hurdle anyway, right?"

"Yes, I will keep going to the banquets until the ladies invite me to watch the handsome young man dance..." Anan pushed his hand away, smiled foolishly, turned around and buried her head in his arms, snoring.

Yu Ran had heard about the affection between the couple, but this was the first time she saw it from such a close distance. Her face turned red. In all her years, she had never seen such a loving couple. They probably treated each other with respect, but who would have thought that there could be such tenderness. She felt mixed emotions at the moment and was speechless for a long time.
