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.
