It was not that there were no private salts on the market before, but the quantity was very small, and they were all well established, so the people above turned a blind eye.

But this time it was obviously different. The amount of private salt was very huge, almost occupying the entire market. The imperial court was really desperate.

Li Su glanced at Zhang Ting'an when he heard this, but did not speak.

Zhang Ting'an held a fan in his right hand and patted the palm of his left hand, "Okay, okay, I understand, I can't say yes."

…

After Si Ning left Taoyuan, he said goodbye to the Queen Mother and took Luzhu back to the eldest princess' mansion.

When Si Ning returned home, he went straight to Chu Qionghua's Fengyang Pavilion.

Chu Qionghua was sitting on the couch drinking tea. As soon as Si Ning entered the room, he threw himself into her arms, hugged her lovingly and said coquettishly, "Aniang, Aniang."

Chu Qionghua was still holding tea in his hand. He was startled by Si Ning's sudden movement. He was afraid of spilling it on her, so he hurriedly took it away. Liuzhu on the side quickly reached out to take it.

Chu Qionghua pretended to be angry and slapped her twice, "Look at how reckless you are, how can you still get married?"

Si Ning raised his head from Chu Qionghua's arms and said coquettishly, "I won't marry if I can't get married. An Ning will stay in the house to accompany my father and mother."

Chu Qionghua smiled and nodded her forehead, "You, I don't believe what you are saying. You, you have been unable to walk since you were a child when you saw good-looking little boys."

Si Ning had a sarcastic look on his face after hearing this. She was indeed more attractive. When he first fell in love with Li Su, he was also attracted by his appearance at first sight.

"In the blink of an eye, Aning is now a big girl. Time flies so fast." Chu Qionghua said with emotion, "By the way, you said you didn't like Li Su earlier, but is it true?"

"Of course it's true." Si Ning withdrew from Chu Qionghua's arms, "I have been chasing him for so long, and it has become a joke in the capital. I don't see him wavering at all, so let's forget it."

"You, you also know." Chu Qionghua glared at her.

In fact, Si Ning is particularly grateful to God for allowing her to become the child of her father and mother. They never ask for anything from themselves, as long as they are happy.

She chased Li Su, and everyone in the capital knew that she was chasing her. She knew everything that was said outside, but her father and mother-in-law never reprimanded her for it.

She is really lucky.

Chu Qionghua was actually not very satisfied with Li Su, even though their Li family was from a Dazheng family, his grandfather had been the chief minister of the previous dynasty, and his father was the current prince and tutor.

They seem to be well-matched in terms of status, but Li Su is too conceited, and although Aning looks arrogant and domineering, he is actually a child with no conceited ideas.

She can't play with Li Su, so she might as well give up this time. The girl is pregnant, and Aning is old enough, and marriage should really be put on the agenda.

Chu Qionghua said, "Well, since you don't like Li Su, forget it. There are many good men in Dazheng."

There were so many things waiting for her to do in her new life. She had no time to think about them, but she also knew that these were all things she would have to face sooner or later.

She held Grandma's hand and rested her head on her shoulder, "Grandma, Ah Ning doesn't want to get married so early, it will have to wait at least three years."

Where Chu Qionghua couldn't see, Si Ning's eyes were full of seriousness. It took three years until everything settled before she was in the mood to think about these feelings.

The marriage in her previous life brought her nothing but restraint and pain.

In fact, she had completely lost interest in marriage, but she also knew that if she said this rashly, Aniang and the others would not agree, so she might as well add a time limit herself.

"Three years later?" Chu Qionghua frowned when he heard this. Now is a good time for Aning to get married. Three years later, Aning will be twenty-one.

"That's right. What's the point of getting married? I can't find a man like my father like my mother. If I get married and have to be restrained, it would be better to be my princess."

Just as Chu Qionghua was about to speak, hearty laughter came from outside.

Si Qiming walked in with a smile, "An Ning is right, don't marry if you don't want to, my dad can support you, it's not easy to find a husband like my dad.

If you can’t find daddy, I’ll take care of you.”

Chu Qionghua smiled and glared at him, "Listen to what you said."

Si Qiming smiled and walked over to squeeze together with them, and put his arm around Chu Qionghua's shoulders, "I think what Aning said is quite right. Besides, I've fucked all the boys in the capital, and they don't deserve it at all."

Come to my An Ning’s house.”

After hearing what his father said, Si Ning smiled with satisfaction, "I knew my father loved me the most."

"Your father loves you, so you should go find your father."

Si Ning rolled his eyes and hugged Chu Qionghua's arm tightly, "An Ning knows you are jealous, An Ning, but it doesn't matter. I can compete with my father to see who loves me more."

Chu Qionghua reached out and poked her forehead, "You are the only smart one, right?"

"Dad, look at Aniang!" Si Ning deliberately let go of his arms, covered his forehead and retreated from Chu Qionghua's arms.

She saw her father and mother-in-law leaning closely together, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Chu Qionghua and Si Qiming were a little panicked when they saw this.

"I didn't exert any force?"

"Aning, are you okay? Someone, go to the palace and call the imperial doctor."

Call the imperial doctor?!

Si Ning quickly put down his hand and said, "Dad, Aniang, I'm fine. I just teased you on purpose."

That night, Si Ning deliberately drove Si Qiming to the study, then carried a pillow into Fengyang Pavilion and asked to sleep with his mother-in-law.

Putting his arms around his mother's waist and smelling the familiar scent, Si Ning closed his eyes to hide his wet eyes, feeling as soft as cotton soaked in water.

Rising, sinking, falling.

My father and mother-in-law only have one daughter, and they have always doted on them since she was a child. Unfortunately, she didn't know how to cherish her until she lost her.

In fact, she no longer blames grandma for abandoning her. She knows that grandma is afraid that daddy will be too lonely.

The deaths of my father and mother were all related to the damn Yellow River bursting its banks. This time she must change this matter. The Yellow River bursting its banks must not happen again.

As a mother, Chu Qionghua naturally noticed something was wrong with Si Ning. She stretched out her hand to purr Si Ning, and thought to herself that the change in A Ning was after that poetry meeting. It seemed that the group of people taught them lightly.

.

She has been a carefree and hot-tempered daughter since she was a child. Outsiders say she is arrogant and domineering. In fact, she is not a bully. It is just the misunderstanding of the world.

She knew that her Aning had always been a kind-hearted person.

…

Sining slept very well that night. She felt like she hadn't had such a good sleep in a long time.
