”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.”
