Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

After hearing the news that they were stabbed, Wang Jue and his wife returned that night. It was strange that they had a huge argument when they left, but when they returned, they seemed to have reached an agreement, as if the incident had never happened, and never mentioned it again.

But every day after that, whenever Anan went to deliver food, Shuyu would always look at her with an extremely worried look.

Bi'an was seriously injured and temporarily stayed at Jinyun's place to recuperate. He was personally taken care of by Jinyun and the young donor and his servant.

The guards in the manor were strengthened, and the situation was calmer than usual. As to who was the assassin, everyone kept silent and Anan had no way of finding out.

He only has Bi'an by his side on a daily basis. Now that Bi'an is recuperating from illness, only the frail and thin Jiuling is left.

Jiuling was quick and efficient in his work, and extremely careful and meticulous. However, every time Anan saw his frail appearance, he would worry that he could not even lift the heavier spear in the yard.

But he didn't take it seriously and treated it as normal.

Anan became increasingly worried, and every time she tried to find an opportunity to speak up and remind him, he seemed to be able to see through her thoughts and always changed the subject at the right time.

That day, Wang Jue ordered people to purchase some fresh fruits and vegetables. She picked a few fresh peaches and took a tray to his place. Jiuling had disappeared, and the yard was empty, as if there was no one there.

She remembered that when she went out, the two little girls Donglin and Chunyue were sitting under the corridor eating longans, saying that they were very sweet. She was about to put the tray on the stone table and go back to get some more longans, but she heard the sound of a woman crying in the house.

Anan's heart tightened, and he went inside without thinking much.

As soon as he stepped in, he saw a woman in blue standing straight in front of him with her back to the door, one hand holding a dagger high and the other hand covering her face and sobbing, which made Anan terrified.

Before she could come to her senses, the dagger in the woman's hand immediately stabbed into his chest.

Anan was startled and the tray in his hand fell to the ground. The juicy peaches rolled everywhere and the tray also fell heavily to the ground.

He didn't look over here, and stood there motionless, unlike his usual ruthlessness and decisiveness.

The woman was not tall, very weak and thin. It seemed that she was aiming at his chest, but she stabbed his shoulder instead.

There was a faint fishy smell in the air. His dark clothes matched his expression, and there was no clue at all. The woman didn't seem to have any martial arts skills, but she was very vicious. Seeing that the knife didn't go deep enough, she simply pulled out the dagger and stabbed again.

He had clearly been stabbed twice, but he still didn't move. Could he have been drugged?

Anan was extremely anxious and didn't have time to think. He looked around, picked up the tray on the ground, ran over in two steps, lifted the tray with all his strength, and smashed it down on the back of the woman's head with gritted teeth.

"Bam—"

There was a muffled sound.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw blood oozing from his forehead and flowing all over his face.

He actually pulled the criminal woman away at that critical moment and blocked the attack himself!

Anan was hit hard on the top of his head. He watched the blood flow down his forehead. He dropped the tray in his hand in shock and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

He had already protected her to this point, but the woman in green who committed the crime did not appreciate his kindness. She raised the dagger again, and this time her target was very clear. She stabbed him straight at it, this time directly at his abdomen.

At this critical moment, he slowly closed his eyes and was willing to die.
