Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Seeing that she looked listless and had no energy, Shuyu tried to persuade her, "This afternoon, I talked to your uncle Jue for a while. Seeing that the master has been living outdoors for many years and has been away from home for a long time, it is not surprising that he has someone who understands his feelings. After all, the master is also a man, full of vigor and vitality."

At this point, she gave an expression that you know.

"Xinyun Manor was built by the master himself. The people who work here are all elderly people he is used to, and they are the most reassuring. Now the woman is a little entangled with the master, but it will not last long. It's just a show. After all, none of us knows her, and she has never been to our manor, right?" Shuyu stared at her face and smiled, "Besides, the doorman saw her appearance and said that she is not as pretty as Miss Nan by a hair!"

She took a comb from the bedside, and slowly combed Anan's long hair, then smiled and said, "You should take good care of yourself these few days, and don't be too worried. After all, a master of such status and position will not live with only a woman. You are young now, and it doesn't matter if you don't understand these things. You will be better when you are older."

At this point, she held Anan's hand very carefully and said, "But don't worry too much! Uncle Jue and I are watching outside! We will not let you suffer any harm. If things get better in the future, we sisters can live together and take care of each other. If things don't get better, we can live separately."

This statement stated all the facts clearly and analyzed the pros and cons quite accurately. I guess the couple must have racked their brains over this matter today.

Anan could hear the care and protection in the words, and he also understood that in such an era, it was common for men to have three wives and four concubines. The superiority of men over women was only mentioned in a few words in history textbooks, but when one was really in the situation, one could feel all kinds of indescribable complexities.

Naturally, she couldn't discuss this with Shuyu, so she forced a smile and interrupted her softly, "Don't worry, Aunt Yu, I'm fine."

Perhaps because she was in a bad mood and her smile was really ugly, Shuyu felt distressed. She hugged her and comforted her: "No matter what happens, Uncle Jue and I are your family!"

The two talked for a while, and Wang Jue sent someone to call Shuyu, saying that there was something important to discuss. Shuyu was a little puzzled. It was originally agreed that she would stay in Anan's room today to persuade her, so she couldn't help but ask, "What's the important matter? Why are you coming to see me so late at night?"

Dong Lin rubbed his hands and whispered, "The master of the inner room sent someone to come and tell us to buy a few sets of clothes for the distinguished guests in the guest room."

Shuyu held Anan's hand for a long while, and could not say anything to persuade her. Seeing that she did not move, Donglin urged her again: "Aunt Yu, please hurry up, the people over there are in a hurry, they are all waiting in Uncle Jue's room!"

Only then did Shuyu leave.

Xiao Fu hasn't come back yet and the room is dark and silent.

Anan stood up, walked to the window frame, sat on the stool, opened the window, and listened quietly to the sound of raindrops hitting the bluestone floor.

"Why don't you light the lamp?" Jinyun's voice came from the side, as gentle and warm as ever, as if it brought light to the gloomy rainy night.

Anan looked up and saw him standing outside the window, so he smiled at him and asked, "Why are you here?"
