Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Xiao Fu got up early for the first time and went out mysteriously. Before leaving, she searched the house for a while. She first ate a peach and then ate a piece of dry biscuit that Shuyu brought yesterday.

Seeing how voraciously she was eating, Anan took out the leftover cloud cake from yesterday and handed it to her.

She looked disgusted: "I don't like this."

"Jinyun gave it to me." Anan couldn't help teasing her.

After hearing this, she hurriedly took it over, with a puzzled look on her face. Just as she was about to speak, she thought of something and stared at her inquiringly, saying, "Jinyun has been missing for days recently, and today he is in a hurry to go out. I heard from the servants in the medicine house that every time he goes to the city, he goes to Chunfeng Tower and stays there for most of the day! I don't know what evil has befallen him."

Anan smiled and shook his head, "Chunfenglou is quite famous in Yongningwei, but it's just a restaurant. It only serves food and wine, not a place for romance. Why are you so anxious?"

"You are just too naive. Nowadays, the restaurants are no less complicated than the romantic places!" Xiao Fu said stubbornly as she bit a mouthful of cloud cake with hatred. "I don't know about other things, but I know how many times my father was kicked out by my mother because of this!"

After saying that, she went straight out without waiting for Anan to persuade her anymore.

"Hey!" He was afraid that her hot temper would cause trouble, so he injured his foot and limped out. He could not catch up with Xiao Fu and could only watch her disappear on the path ahead.

Anan sighed, feeling pain in his feet and even more pain in his head. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Bi'an, whom he hadn't seen for more than half a month, rushing towards him with a lunch box in his hand.

When the guy saw Anan, he quickly put down the food box in his hand and ran over to help her. Anan smiled and shook her head, and asked him back: "Why don't you lie down in the medicine house and recuperate, but run around everywhere, and carefully open the wound again."

He grinned nonchalantly, patted his chest, and said loudly: "I've recovered a long time ago. It's Mr. Nie who is too cautious and insisted that I take good care of myself. I said no, and he got angry. Look, the main house won't let me leave for a day!"

"Ah?" Anan's heart tightened, and he asked hurriedly, "Is there another assassination attempt on the Lord's side?"

"No, no." He waved his hands repeatedly, and then said, "It's Miss Chen!"

"Ms. Chen?" Anan asked in confusion.

"Miss Nan, you may not know that this lady Chen is Mingxing's wife." Bi'an pretended to be deep, put his hands behind his back, and said in a serious tone, "Mingxing has been with the master for more than ten years. At the beginning of this year, he had an accident and passed away."

Anan's heart suddenly tightened, and he forgot about the pain in his feet for a moment. He stood up and asked, "And then?"

"And then, Madam Chen didn't know the whole story and believed other people's instigation. She was determined to think that the master had deliberately abandoned Mingxing, so she blamed the master for Mingxing's death. She rushed over alone to assassinate the master to avenge Mingxing..." Bian was still chattering non-stop. Anan felt that the whole world was empty and he just stared blankly at the food box on the ground.

That's not his romantic debt!

"Miss Nan! Miss Nan!" Bi'an called her twice but got no response, so he ran over and waved in front of her, asking in confusion, "Why are you grinning like an idiot?"

Anan came back to his senses, a little embarrassed, and asked: "If that's the case, how can you help?"
