In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Su Zhizhi asked Xie Chengjin to rest here, and she ran to find a doctor. After a while, Lin Kaituo brought several doctors to the lake.

After a brief checkup, Xie Chengjin and Shen Wenjun were sent back into the house.

The lake water was icy cold at night. Even though Xie Chengjin got out of the water quickly, he still caught a cold. Not to mention Shen Wenjun, who had been running in the lake for an unknown amount of time. He developed a high fever late at night. Fortunately, the doctor treated him in time and Shen Wenjun was fine.

By the next morning, Shen Wenjun's fever had almost subsided. When he woke up, he felt a severe headache. After asking the maid next to him, Shen Wenjun remembered what had happened the night before.

After hearing that he was rescued by Xie Chengjin, Shen Wenjun felt even more ashamed. When he thought of his previous thoughts about Xie Chengjin, he was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to slap himself twice.

Before he could take any action, Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin walked in. Seeing that Shen Wenjun had woken up, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

When Shen Wenjun saw the two of them, he felt even more guilty. He forced himself to sit up and looked at Xie Chengjin apologetically.

Xie Chengjin was a little confused and didn't understand why Shen Wenjun was looking at him like that. Su Zhizhi, on the other hand, was not very sensitive and didn't notice anything. She just wanted Shen Wenjun to lie down quickly.

Before Su Zhizhi could speak, Shen Wenjun stopped her, "Miss Su, I'm fine. I just have something to tell Master Xie."

Su Zhizhi glanced back and forth between the two of them for a few times before she said somewhat depressedly, "Alright, alright, can't I just go out? I don't know when you two became so close."

Su Zhizhi complained as she walked out, giving the two of them space to talk.

When there were only two people left in the room, Shen Wenjun finally spoke: "Thank you for saving me yesterday, otherwise I would have drowned in the lake."

"It's okay, it's just a small favor. I can't just stand by and watch someone die. What's more, you helped Zhizhi before. It's neither moral nor logical for me to turn a blind eye." Xie Chengjin explained seriously.

Shen Wenjun shook his head. "Mr. Xie is magnanimous, but what I did before was the behavior of a mean person. Now that I think about it, Mr. Xie repays evil with kindness, I feel ashamed. I think Mr. Xie can see through my actions. I apologize to Mr. Xie today for what happened before."

A hint of surprise flashed across Xie Chengjin's face. He had not expected Shen Wenjun to do this, but the next second, a smile appeared on his face. "It's okay. Mr. Shen is also a man of temperament. I didn't take it to heart."

After talking things out, the two of them completely let go of their grudges, shook hands and made peace. When Su Zhizhi pushed the door open again, they were talking and laughing, looking very happy, which made Su Zhizhi a little confused.

After a few more days, when Shen Wenjun was almost recovered, the three of them planned to formally bid farewell to Lin Kaituo.

In the front hall, the four of them sat together. Lin Kaituo was reluctant to leave them, but he also knew that Su Zhizhi and the others were going to the capital, so he didn't try to persuade them to stay.

After the four of them had lunch, Su Zhizhi and the other two set out again for the capital. Sitting in the carriage, Su Zhizhi weighed the purse in her hand and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect Lin Kaituo to be so rich. He just gave me so much gold and silver without blinking an eye."

Before leaving, Lin Kaituo specially stuffed a bulging purse into Su Zhizhi's hand and said generously, "This money is not much. I'll give it to you as travel expenses. You will inevitably need money a lot along the way. Just consider it my small contribution to help you."

When the three of them were talking and laughing, the carriage suddenly stopped. The three people in the carriage could not sit firmly and almost fell into the carriage.

Before Su Zhizhi could ask what happened, the next second, she saw a man holding a sharp knife rushing into the carriage, and the coachman outside was trembling, as if he was afraid of dying here.

Xie Chengjin was the first to react. He kicked the man off the carriage, and then dragged Su Zhizhi and Shen Wenjun out of the carriage.

The space inside the carriage was small, and the man had a knife in his hand. If he was inside the carriage, they would have no way to hide.

But when the three of them stood firmly on the ground, the person who had just been kicked by Xie Chengjin rushed over again. Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin subconsciously avoided him, but Shen Wenjun had just recovered and was so thin that he was powerless even if he wanted to avoid him.

The assassin saw that Shen Wenjun was easy to control, so he pounced on Shen Wenjun. The next second, Shen Wenjun became his hostage.

At this time, Xie Chengjin finally recognized who the assassin was. It was the brother of the flower thief, the one who was tortured by Xie Chengjin.

Xie Chengjin's expression darkened immediately, and he said in a cold voice, "What are you going to do? Let him go!"

But the assassin seemed to be mentally ill. After hearing what Xie Chengjin said, the knife on Shen Wenjun's neck went a little further.

Su Zhizhi's face also darkened. She and Xie Chengjin stood on the left and right, staring at the assassin in front of them with murderous eyes.

The man laughed crazily, "Since you don't intend to let my brother go, why should I let you go? This man is very important to you, right? I'll let him die in front of you. If I don't have a good life, then neither will you!"

After saying that, the man was about to attack Shen Wenjun. At the critical moment, Shen Wenjun burst out with an amazing desire to survive. The man was not careful for a moment and let Shen Wenjun escape.

The man became even more angry and chased after Shen Wenjun. Just as Shen Wenjun was about to be caught again, Su Zhizhi rushed out from the side and knocked the assassin to the ground.

However, there was a huge disparity in strength between men and women, and Su Zhizhi was stabbed by the assassin's knife the next second. The assassin was already blood-thirsty and pulled out the sharp knife to stab her a second time.

Fortunately, Xie Chengjin acted in time and subdued the man, but even so, Su Zhizhi was inevitably injured. The knife wound on her body was very deep and the blood was flowing profusely. In a short while, Su Zhizhi's dress was almost stained with blood.

Shen Wenjun tried to stop the bleeding for Su Zhizhi with trembling hands, but he was powerless and could only watch Su Zhizhi's face gradually turn pale.

Su Zhizhi was gasping for breath in so much pain, but in order to avoid shock from excessive blood loss, she still forced herself to direct Shen Wenjun to treat her wounds.
