Before she could say anything, Xiao Qian added, "But before we get married, your son has to ask her for her opinion."

"Big Brother Xiao, don't ask me when you want to come." An Yang whispered, his small face blushing.

Xiao Qian ignored her and said to Madam Zhen, "Your son likes a girl and has been in love with her for a long time. I hope mother can help."

At this moment, An Yang's expression changed.

Old Mistress Xiao immediately came to her rescue. "Anyang is indeed a good person. Don't let him down so often."

Madam Zhen nodded, "Qian'er, how about An Yang?"

Xiao Qian stood up and bowed his hands towards the three women. "Reporting to mother, this child's heart isn't tied to Princess Anyang. I'm sorry for the princess' wrong love."

"You!"

An Yang knitted his brows, tears brimming in his eyes.

Old Mistress Xiao hurriedly patted the woman's shoulder. "Princess, please calm your anger."

I looked back and glared at Xiao Qian, "Look at what you're saying. Which girl can compare to the princess? I don't allow you to speak nonsense again, hurry up and apologize to the princess. "

Xiao Qian, not afraid of his grandmother's protest, saluted Zhen Shi and said, "Your son has been on horseback all year round since the war. He has never thought about marriage. Moreover, marriage is the order of the parents, and the child has no right to say, but now I like a woman, and I just want to marry her. "

"Shut up!" Madam Xiao leaned on her walking stick as she glared at him.

Madam Zhen could be considered calm. She first consoled the princess, who was crying her heart out, before saying, "Bring the princess back to rest first."

An Yang refused and insisted on staying in the room.

"Brother Xiao, tell me, is that woman Su Zhi? What kind of bewitching soup did the widow give you? "

Madam Zhen was stunned and asked in puzzlement, "Widow?"

"Madam, you probably don't know about it yet. Recently, Brother Xiao and Xuan City has been a widow." That woman still has two children. Not long after her husband died, she dared to seduce Big Brother Xiao. She must be a restless fox spirit. "

Xiao Qian's expression turned cold as he replied, "Princess is a woman who has yet to leave the pavilion. Her words are so unpleasant to hear. The teachings of the Duke's Mansion are truly worrisome."

"I've told you a long time ago that you wanted to break off all relations with that woman. It's not like you won't listen, just what kind of situation can make you fall for it. You are the grand grandson of the Xiao family and the grand general of the hussars. If you insist on marrying a widow, you will be laughed out of your teeth! "

Xiao Qian refused and retorted, "Isn't that great-grandmother the same? She's a widow and was carried in by her great-grandfather."

"The past and the present are different. Moreover, your great-grandmother was also loyal. How could that countryside woman be comparable?"

The two of them were quarreling intensely. Next to them, there was a crying Canton Princess.

Madam Zhen's head began to hurt again. Seeing that the situation wasn't looking good, the maidservant said worriedly, "Madam, your health is more important."

Old Madam Xiao steeled her heart and slammed her hands on the table. "Today, you must make this matter clear. You must not disappoint Anyang and you must not marry that widow. You should carefully judge between the two of us if Grandmother's words have harmed you!"

Zhen Shi felt a splitting headache coming on. She wanted to say a few words, but she suddenly felt dizzy again.

Xiao Qian couldn't bear to see his mother in such a state, so he had to lower his stance. "Let's let this matter rest for now. My mother's body is not feeling well. Grandmother, please don't speak anymore."

Old Madam Xiao coldly snorted and refused to leave.

"Mother, please calm down and let your daughter-in-law persuade this child."

"That's fine, but your personality has always been soft. This is no small matter, but you have to be tough." With these words, the madame left with An Yang, who was still crying.

Xiao Qian stood to the side, feeling guilty. Seeing how Zhen Mo's head was hurting, he couldn't help but want to slap himself. "Mother, your child is not good."

"It's fine, it has nothing to do with you. The symptom of my headache is an old ailment."

The servant girl pressed her forehead and felt a bit better. Then, she asked, "Where is that woman from? How do you know each other? "

"Reporting to mother, Ah Zhi is an orphan. She was in Tranquil Village all this time, and we met when she was looking for her husband in my military camp."

Zhen Zhen nodded in understanding. "I would like to see what kind of charm that young lady has to be able to enchant my son."

Honestly speaking, she also didn't like Anyang very much. Although she was a relative of the royal family, that girl was too stubborn and stubborn. Marrying her would cause a ruckus in the backyard, and since she was also a favoured princess, it would be tiring just thinking about it.

"Mother will like her, son."

"In your life, you've never told me which girl you like. I'm worried too, so I'll be your master. You're not happy about that. It wasn't easy to get someone you like, and she's a widow as well. It really is her life. "

Xiao Qian had never cared about Su Zhi's identity. Even if she was married and widowed, he didn't care. Even if she was, it was a pity that he hadn't met her earlier.

"Mother, although she was not born very well, her character is definitely fine. She is very kind and considerate, gentle and meticulous, very much like when you were young."

Madam Zhen laughed and scolded him, "Don't put on a tall hat for me. No matter how good that woman is, she's still a widow. Moreover, An Yang is here, so you can't give the imperial family any face." Pausing for a moment, she then continued, "How about this? You take Anyang as your wife and bring that woman in as your concubine."

He wanted Su Zhi to be his concubine? How was this possible? He had promised to take her as his wife, so how could he go back on his word and marry another woman?

"Mother, your child cannot. In this life and for the rest of my life, she will be the only child."

She reluctantly explained, "You should know that this is the biggest concession I can make. Otherwise, how can I explain myself to your grandmother? If you don't have any power backing you in the imperial court, and you hold a high position by yourself, then who knows who might think of you?

With the current situation in the imperial court, if Xiao Qian and the royal family were to be married, the Zhao family would be able to restrain themselves.

However, relying on his wife to stabilize his position had never been something he wanted. Furthermore, his heart was with Su Zhi and he could not bring up any love for Anyang. Forcefully marrying her would only embarrass both sides.

"Mother's health isn't good. Let's rest for now. Your son will be leaving first." The two women in the family had no idea what to say, and Xiao Qian didn't want to come at this moment. The matter of the rebellion wasn't resolved yet, and there were a lot of annoying things.

The Zhen Clan knew that he was using this as an excuse to escape, so they did not stop him.

Her step back was actually to consider her own son. Being able to marry An Yang was like adding wings to a tiger, and then marrying the one outside into a small family. Wasn't that the best way to do both?

After an unhappy conversation, Xiao Qian left the courtyard. He was in no mood to eat.

An Yang chased him for a long distance before he started to cry non-stop.

Old Madam Xiao was making a ruckus about punishing her grandson. Qing Mu hurriedly explained that there was something wrong with the military camp before calming down this farce.

For the rest of the day, Xiao Qian stayed in the army camp with a sullen face, not daring to approach anyone.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve, the business of Flowery Restaurant began to warm up.

Taking advantage of her free time during the Spring Festival, Su Zhi developed a large number of new products.

It had only been a few days since the store was opened, and everything was almost sold out. In a situation where supply was insufficient, she had no choice but to enter the cubicle and try her best to finish the work.

With the update from the system, the items were distributed even more carefully.

There were a lot of ingredients that could not be found previously, but now they could be obtained. However, this broken system was still stingy and stingy. There were many things that indicated that there was only one of it.

Su Zhi took some lavender essential oil and a few bottles of tea tree essential oil, she intended to make some anti-inflammatory and soothing skin water. Spring immediately, changing the season is most likely to lead to skin sensitivity, finished products should be able to sell a lot.

"Boss, there's someone from outside."

Just as he was meditating, Qiu Hong knocked on the door. Su Zhi didn't pay much attention to him and casually replied, "Go ahead and say hello. I'm busy."

"Boss, the person who came was an old lady. She called for you."
