Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Anan looked at the window, where there was a window pane with dry watermarks, more wrinkled than the others. He smiled faintly and said, "Everyone knows that the master is a martial arts expert and never shows mercy to assassins. How could Mrs. Chen, who has been with Mingxing for many years, not know this? Rather than killing people for revenge, this weak woman came here with the determination to die. But she didn't expect that the master would rather be stabbed to death by her than hurt her at all, and even protected her with his body when someone came to help."

Jinyun listened and nodded in agreement, saying, "Outsiders think that Yunyu is ruthless, cold-blooded and bloodthirsty, but they don't know that he is actually the kindest person. It's just that he is often misunderstood because of his bold actions..."

"How could this be? Is Madam Chen crazy?" Xiao Fu took a breath and looked at Anan with wide eyes.

Anan smiled bitterly and explained to her, "Mrs. Chen and Mingxing had a deep relationship. Mingxing's sudden death was naturally hard for her to bear. She had been thinking about it for a long time. But she had elderly parents and young children at home, and she was afraid that if she really committed suicide, it would make her family sad. So she simply chose the most calm and decisive person, assassinated him in a false name, and then waited for him to kill her. This way, she would be happy without making her family sad."

Xiao Fu shook her head repeatedly.

Anan patted her shoulder and said earnestly: "It's normal that you can't understand. I hope you don't have to understand in this life."

Jinyun looked at Anan with new eyes, thinking that she was good at managing the household, but he didn't expect that a woman like her would say such a thing. All his doubts disappeared at once, and he sighed easily: "I was overthinking. I thought that you would be angry because Yunyu attacked you one after another. I didn't expect that our Miss Nan is so smart, sees things clearly, and judges people accurately. I don't need to worry about it."

Jinyun said a few more words, looked at the sun through the window, and said with a smile: "I have something else to do outside, so I'll leave first. Come to my place tonight and make some tea for you."

When Jinyun left the house, Xiaofu immediately jumped up and said hurriedly, "I'm leaving too!"

Anan stopped her and said, "Let's talk about it tonight. It's not appropriate for you to go out with him now."

"It's okay." Xiao Fu walked out quickly without looking back, but in the blink of an eye, she disappeared.

Anan limped after her, staring at the direction she left, feeling inexplicably anxious.

This girl, I'm afraid she really thinks Yongning Guard is the capital. She goes wherever she wants alone without considering the consequences. As long as she leaves the gate of Xinyun Manor, who will protect her?

But on second thought, Jinyun is from Xinyun Manor after all. Even if he knew that Xiaofu was following him and was in danger, he would definitely not stand idly by. Thinking of this, he felt better.

Even though she had a lot of thoughts on her mind, bad things still happened.

At night, Xiaofu had not returned yet, so Anan lit a lamp and waited for her. Normally, she would be late at the medicine furnace sometimes, but after the hour of Yin, there was still no sign of her. Anan became anxious, so she put on some clothes in a hurry and hurried to the medicine house.

The lights in the medicine house were turned off early. Anan stood at the door and knocked for half a day. Finally, a woman who did rough work came to open the door with sleepy eyes and said in confusion, "Mr. Nie and Xiao Shi went out this morning and haven't come back yet. The medicine house hasn't been lit recently. Everyone went back to work. I'm the only one watching over the yard."

Anan immediately got angry and hurried back. When she reached the intersection, on the left was the residence of Wang Jue and his wife, whose lights had been turned off long ago, and on the right was the main house, which still had dim lights on. She thought for a moment and hurried to the main house.

As soon as he saw the two guards in front, Jiu Ling jumped down from nowhere and asked, "Miss, are you going to look for the master?"
