Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

When reading the secret letter, Huaizhu did not let Anan leave. After she left with Helang, Baishao looked at Anan who was lost in thought, frowned slightly, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Anan collected his confused thoughts and turned to look at her: "Just say it straight."

Bai Shao said, "Miss, I think this matter is very strange. My husband has always loved you the most. If there is something wrong, why would he not tell you any news at all?"

Anan smiled and sat down, holding her belly. The little one was making a lot of noise, and her belly could be seen rising and falling through her clothes. She stroked her belly with one hand and tapped the coffee table with the other.

Bai Shao thought she hadn't explained it clearly, so she continued, "I've also heard from Miss Jian Fu before that this lady grew up with our son-in-law and always looked at him differently. Her behavior today seemed like she was caring and taking care of the lady herself, but it always made me feel like something was wrong."

"What's wrong?" Anan looked out the window. A rainstorm was approaching, strong winds were raging, and all that were flying in the air were withered yellow leaves.

"I can't explain it, but I just feel that it's not right. Girl, do you think that letter could be fake?" Bai Shao was very persistent. She looked at Anan worriedly, but she was not smart enough to tell the difference clearly. She could only speak from her heart.

"This is indeed Yunyu's handwriting." Anan said in a deep voice.

"Young lady, uncle and she grew up together, and the queen is known for her talent. If she wants to imitate uncle's handwriting, it should not be a difficult task." Bai Shao's brows furrowed even tighter.

Anan didn't say anything, but just picked up the teacup silently.

"Young lady..." Bai Shao knew that although her young lady appeared calm on the surface, her heart was already in turmoil. Even her hands holding the teacup were shaking violently.

"Rather than the authenticity of the letter, I want to know why Huaizhu took it out at this time?" The rain was pouring down, and with it a strong wind, it seemed to destroy everything. The eaves outside the window were half wet, and several little girls were rushing to close the windows.

After hearing what Anan said, Bai Shao mustered up her courage and suggested, "Miss, you can't count on Marquis Anyuan at all. He has always treated my son-in-law badly. He didn't even ask about my son-in-law after he disappeared for such a long time. How about we go to their house and discuss it with the two uncles and their wives?"

"Don't alarm them about this for now." Anan helped himself to stand up and warned, "Wait until the rain stops, go find Mingqi."

When Mingqi received the message and rushed over, the heavy rain had just stopped and there was still a drizzle. His outer robe and hair were wet, and the soles of his feet were covered with mud. Uncle Da thought that there was something going on with the Yuan family, so he hurried forward to serve him and specially ordered someone to bring clean clothes for him to wash.

Mingqi didn't move, but just looked at Anan worriedly.

Anan smiled at him and said, "You go first, there's no rush."

Mingqi took the handkerchief from Uncle Da and gently wiped the water droplets off his hair. Anan glanced at Baishao, who understood and immediately thought of a way to pull Uncle Da away. Anan told Mingqi everything that happened today in detail. After listening, Mingqi frowned and looked serious. After a while, he said, "Don't worry. It's still unclear whether this matter is true or not. Let me ask around."

That was what Anan had meant. Seeing Mingqi being so considerate, and thinking of how busy he had been these days, he felt warm inside and asked with a smile, "How is mother these days?"

Mingqi paused while wiping his hair, raised his eyes to look at Anan, only to see that she had no intention of testing him, and was just drinking tea happily, so he smiled and nodded: "I was just a little worried about my son-in-law's affairs, and I didn't sleep well last night, it's okay, don't worry, young lady."

As the two were talking, Bai Shao came in hurriedly, her face pale, "Miss, the Crown Princess's attendant is here."
