Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

"Miss Fu, don't joke with me!" Bai Shao was really annoyed. She frowned and said seriously, "I ordered people to buy a few farmhouses in Diantou Village outside Xinyun Manor. Our people live there. If you are in a hurry, you can go to them first so that they can take care of you. But remember, the first house you enter the village with two magnolia trees and a big stone jar in the yard is the one."

Bai Shao counted on her fingers and said them one by one, but was afraid that Xiao Fu would forget, so she repeated them again.

On her way back, Xiao Fu fell asleep leaning against the wall. When she was woken up by the old woman, it was already dark. She told the whole story and angrily said, "I don't know what kind of people they are! So barbaric!"

Anan seemed to be thinking about something, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "So that's how it is."

"What's going on?" Xiao Fu was confused and went in to ask.

Anan didn't answer her, but looked at the table full of cakes and fruits, and shook his head helplessly. He didn't know what Bai Shao had heard outside! She actually brought so much food!

Xiao Fu happily took a large plate and sent it to the medicine house. Anan guessed that she would definitely not come back in the short term, so he took a food box, put the cakes in it, sent some to Shuyu, and went into the guest room.

After only two knocks, the door opened.

Madam Chen had taken off her outer garment and was only wearing her inner garment. When she saw that it was Anan, she took her hand and let her in.

The lights were dim, and the calming incense was burning. The room was peaceful and comfortable. Anan took the tea handed over by Chen Niangzi and asked with a smile, "Is Madam feeling better?"

Madam Chen nodded, her already very small undershirt dangling on her body, her face was still pale, her lips were chapped, and there were some dark circles between her brows. She was so thin that her head looked particularly big. Anan was a little worried that she would lose her balance and fall, so he subconsciously stepped forward to help her up.

Madam Chen held her hand, looked at her deeply and said, "Thank you for your guidance, young lady. It was like a revelation to me, which made me realize how foolish I was. I almost harmed my parents-in-law and two children at home, and dragged down my master. I originally wanted to go to your place to sit and thank you in person, but I couldn't go in recent days. But you were worried about me and came here first."

Madam Chen held Anan and tried to smile. Perhaps it was because she hadn't smiled for a long time, so she looked a little awkward. She blushed before she spoke: "My maiden name is Huilan, I am a few years older than you. If you don't mind, can you call me Sister Lan?"

"Sister Lan." Anan smiled and bowed quickly.

"In fact, I feel ashamed to call you sister. Although you are young, you understand things much better than I do. If it weren't for your advice, I'm afraid I would have really let Mingxing down." She said it again, looking at Anan with eyes full of gratitude and a few tears falling.

Anan felt the same way. Touching her bony fingers, he felt sore and painful in his heart. He didn't know what to say to comfort her. He just held her hand silently and thought of him in his heart.

It's so late, he must still be working on his endless copywriting. He works so hard every day, not caring about his health at all.

Coming out of Huilan's room, she came to the door of the main house. Bi'an, who was on night duty, saw the food box in her hand and opened it before she could say anything. Seeing some exquisite pastries, his eyes lit up and he took one directly from the box and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing with his cheeks puffed out, and said with a smile: "Miss, don't waste your energy. The master never eats sweets, let alone at this time."

Perhaps because he was afraid that Anan wouldn't understand, he added, "He never eats after noon."

He wolfed down the food in his mouth, then took the food box from Anan and said with a silly smile, "Girl, give me a reward! I love this the most!"
