Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Xiao Shi methodically sorted the dried fruits into bundles, put them into the chopper, and started cutting them one by one. He seemed nonchalant, but in fact, every word he said had a mystery. Anan looked at him and suddenly remembered the day when he had a fight with several village leaders and he asked Jinyun to come to the rescue. He smiled knowingly.

"Miss," Xiao Shi looked up when he saw that she stopped talking. Seeing that she looked depressed, as if struck by lightning, he said nothing else. He just stood up and went to the Jinyun tea table, took out an oil-paper bag and handed it to her.

Anan took it and smiled. She didn't need to open it to know that it contained Yunpian Cake, which Jinyun often gave her.

"I don't know what's wrong with my brother's personality lately. He prefers to eat sweet things. He even goes through so much trouble just to eat this..." As he was speaking, he saw Jinyun coming out, so he went back to cut herbs and said no more.

"I was thinking of sending it to you after I finish burning this furnace of medicine!" Jinyun saw the paper bag in her hand and smiled, "Would you like another cup of tea?"

Anan felt heavy-hearted and had no time to stay for tea or snacks, so he stuffed the oil-paper bag into his sleeve, said goodbye to the two and went out.

Jinyun stared at Anan's back in a daze, and Xiao Shi whispered, "Brother, is the girl angry with you?"

Jinyun was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiaoshi in confusion. Xiaoshi smiled and said, "You stayed overnight at Chunfeng Tower the other day, and it seems that you didn't tell her the reason clearly. Did she think you were sleeping with prostitutes?"

Jinyun scratched his head and patted his shoulder: "That makes sense!"

After saying that, he was about to turn around and go back to the house, but Xiao Shi stopped him, "Brother, since there is a misunderstanding, you have to talk it out quickly. Otherwise, if you delay for too long, the fake will be taken as the real thing. Are you willing to let Miss Nan think this way?"

"But my medicine is still burning in the stove..." Jinyun looked back.

"I'm here. If anything happens, I'll send someone to call you. Go quickly, brother!" After saying that, he took off his smock and pushed it out.

Jinyun looked back at the medicine furnace, then turned around and chased after him.

Anan was walking along the path with a heavy heart. She looked up and saw Jinyun standing in front of her, smiling at her.

She forced herself to cheer up and smiled.

"That day I got drunk and stayed overnight at Chunfeng Tower..." Jinyun's face turned red when he said this. He seemed to have thought of something. He coughed dryly and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "I asked the shopkeeper to do some private things for me. She wanted to play a joke on me, so she poured me a few more pots of wine..."

At this point, he felt as if something was wrong and felt even more embarrassed. He wanted to explain again, but he didn't know how to start and could only look at Anan stupidly.

Anan sighed softly and smiled at him, "I know you are not that kind of person. Besides, the master will not tolerate anyone messing around in that place."

"He even told you this!" Jinyun was shocked. Shuyu told him that Anan was reluctant to leave Huilan and insisted on seeing her off personally. Huilan also insisted on spending more time with Anan. Yunyu had to take Anan with her because of their sisterly love. But if she told him even such a thing, their relationship would not be so simple.

"No, I guessed it myself." Anan turned his head and glanced at the main house, smiling bitterly, "How could he tell me such an important thing?"
