Old madam? Su Zhi felt it was strange. She didn't seem to know any lady either. Qiu Hong urged him from outside. She had no choice but to give up, packed her tools, and went out.

"Which old mistress is this?" Have you been to the shop before? "

Qiu Hong shook her head. "She looks unfamiliar, but .." It seems like he did not come with good intentions.

"It's inside. Go take a look."

Su Zhi nodded and pushed open the door.

The first to enter the door was an old nanny, with two maids standing by her side. The person sitting in the middle was an old lady with grey hair at her temples. Her face was cold and there was a hint of anger on it.

"This lady is looking for me?"

The old mistress sized her up before snorting. "Your figure is not bad, and your face is pretty. You really have the ability to seduce men."

Su Zhi stared blankly for a moment, not understanding why this old lady was so unfriendly. She could only endure it and say, "Madam, you want to buy some rouge and cosmetics, right? I can see that your complexion is quite good, but there are some wrinkles at the corner of your eyes.

The madame did not speak, but the old mama beside her started making things difficult for him. "Impudent! Why aren't you bowing when you see our old mistress?" Our Madam is the direct grandmother of General Xiao! "

Old Mistress Xiao? Xiao Qian's grandmother?

Su Zhi was completely stupefied. She stood there, at a loss of what to do.

Did Xiao Qian tell her family about her? He didn't inform her in advance. This made him feel awkward.

"The madame is well!"

"She was stunned for a moment before she quickly curtsied and greeted with a smile." I didn't know that you came to the store, but I'm really sorry for not welcoming you. "

"Hmph, look at her, she's really a fox spirit."

The old nanny spat at her in disdain and turned to look at the old lady beside her. "This slender and tender waist really doesn't seem like it has a child. I'm afraid her skills in bed are not bad."

Although it was a whisper, Su Zhi still heard every word.

Her face flushed red and she was at a loss for words. She was afraid that she would offend Grandma Xiao Gan so she could only lower her head in silence.

When Old Madam Xiao saw her pitiful appearance, she became even angrier. When she thought about how her grandson, whom she was so proud of, had actually snuck into this woman's bed, she gritted her teeth in hatred.

"Su Zhi, right? I heard that you still have two children. It's only been a year since your husband died. "

Su Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and she could not help but feel embarrassed. From the looks of it, she already understood that Madam Xiao had specially come to cause trouble.

"Madam said that I still have two children in my family."

As for that nominal husband of Nie Rufeng, she hadn't even met him before. However, she couldn't erase the fact that the Plains Lord had once married him.

"Since you have married and have children, you should do your duty. What is your birth and what is my grandson's status, can't you see them clearly? You are a widow of unknown origins, and you want to occupy my grandson because you want to enter our Xiao family's gate? "That really disappoints you. Although my Xiao family is a martial-general family and doesn't have many playthings, we will definitely not allow a woman like you to enter our family!"

She was still a merchant woman. If this matter were to spread, where would the face of the Xiao Clan be?

These words made Su Zhi blush.

Her skin was thin to begin with, and she had hesitated to follow Xiao Qian. Now that she was rejected by the Xiao family, her heart felt stifled and uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. I have plenty of time to waste with you, but you have to understand one thing. The one my grandson should be married to is Princess Anyang, not you." "Mother Qian'er even said that she could let you enter the palace to be her concubine, but on my side, you're not even qualified to be her concubine!"

Su Zhi's heart went completely cold, but since the other party was an elder, she did not want to say too much. She could only smile and explain, "From the perspective of the Countess, you are indeed right. Compared to An Yang, there wasn't much that I could give to the general. But I'm not a burden, either. I'm strong enough to support myself and my children, and I don't need him to worry about me. If Madam thinks that I am lusting after the power and position of the Xiao family by being with him, then you are wrong. "Also, I hope that old mama won't make things sound so bad. What fox embryo? Which family doesn't have a daughter?"

"Besides, I've never hooked up with anyone before. The general is willing to come to me, so I won't chase him away. If he doesn't come, I won't beg him either. I did not think too much into it when I was with him, and forgot to consider the situation in both families. If the madame can persuade him to give up on his thoughts, I have nothing to say. "

When Mother Wu heard this, she was stunned for a moment. She did not expect Su Zhi to have such a soft temper. Seeing that she did not have the slightest bit of shame, she gritted her teeth in anger.

"Madame, please listen. She is trying to show you off. "Ha! If you don't hook up with our general, will he come looking for you?"

"Momo is wrong. I've never taken the initiative to look for the general, but I've lost the child once and asked for his help."

"You!"

Old Mistress Xiao snorted coldly and laughed when she heard this. She looked at Su Zhi and realized that this girl's temper was not bad.

If she had come from a prestigious clan, she might actually be willing to let her grandson marry her.

It was a pity that she was still a village woman after all. Her strength was not comparable to the Southern Zhenren.

"Since you've said this, I understand that your heart is not on Qian'er's side. That's easy, I will naturally advise him to be cautious. As long as you don't accept him and allow him to close the door a few times, he will naturally lose his interest. "

Su Zhi smiled bitterly. When she thought of how good Xiao Qian had been, her heart ached uncontrollably.

How could he not be with him? After all, they had been together for such a long time, and they had finally formed feelings for each other.

When the two of them were together, she was very rational and even a bit cold. She was just worried that such a day would come. She didn't expect that this day would come, but it was far more difficult than she had expected.

"Madam, my heart for the general is real. Even if you don't agree with us, it won't change our mutual feelings. Like you said, if you can persuade him to stop coming to find me, then I really have nothing to say.

Old Mistress Xiao slammed the table, leaned on her walking stick and stood up, smiling in satisfaction, "Alright, you said it. If I can persuade him to let go, you're not allowed to cause trouble either! " She didn't believe that her grandson would cause trouble at home because of this woman.

"It's true. If he really didn't come, I would have thought he never appeared."

When she said this, Su Zhi felt as if her heart had shattered into pieces. The pain was heart-wrenching.

However, if Xiao Qian really did not come, she would keep her promise and would not look for him.

If that man could really be persuaded, she wouldn't force him no matter what the reason was.

After Old Mistress Xiao left, Su Zhi fell into a trance for a long time.

Qiu Hong saw that her expression was strange and asked about the reason. Su Zhi only said that she was not feeling well and did not say anything else.

When she returned in the evening, she found her mother waiting for her outside the door.

Thinking of what Old Madam Xiao had said, Su Zhi began to feel uncomfortable again. It seemed that she and her child had worried Xiao Qian too much.

"Miss Ding, the weather is cold, please don't stay outside. Your body is not well yet, be careful of the cold."

"Madam is right, but my body is fine. I don't mind."

Su Zhi originally had something on her mind, but after persuading her a few times, she stopped speaking.

Her mother saw that she did not look too good. She thought it was just a trivial matter, and that she was too tired.

Su Zhi reluctantly ate two mouthfuls of the dinner before putting down her chopsticks and returning to her room.

"Mother, are you unhappy?"

A Jin ran in and grabbed her from behind.

Su Zhi turned sideways and picked up her adorable son, shaking her head gently. "No, mother isn't unhappy."

"But A Jin thinks you're unhappy."

"A Jin held her face in both his hands, and said very seriously." "I'm sure my sister saw it too."

He looked later and saw the little girl standing in the doorway with her head cocked, holding the little yellow dog in one hand and the rabbit's ears in the other.
