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

But no matter what, Xie Chengjin achieved his ultimate goal. Regardless of whether Wang Jinghe went in or not, he could prove that Su Zhizhi was wronged, and in this way, she could be released.

Things turned out just as Xie Chengjin had expected. The government quickly convicted the servant and put him in jail. Correspondingly, Su Zhizhi was also sent out.

Xie Chengjin had been waiting outside early. When he saw Su Zhizhi being carried out, his pupils suddenly shrank and he hurried forward to hold Su Zhizhi in his arms. Looking at Su Zhizhi's pale face, Xie Chengjin ignored his anger and picked her up horizontally with heartache and carefully placed her on the carriage.

The carriage sped towards the mansion. The moment Su Zhizhi saw Xie Chengjin, her tense state suddenly relaxed and she fainted.

Looking at Su Zhizhi's unconscious face, Xie Chengjin's eyes were filled with pity and heartache. He carefully checked Su Zhizhi's injuries, but just from looking at her arms, Xie Chengjin knew that Su Zhizhi must have had a lot of wounds on her body.

It was not until they returned to the mansion and Xie Chengjin carefully changed Su Zhizhi's clothes that he saw the shocking and flesh-wrenching wounds on Su Zhizhi's body.

Xie Chengjin carefully avoided the wounds on Su Zhizhi's body while tearing off the clothes stained with blood and flesh. Perhaps it was too painful, Su Zhizhi was still frowning in pain even though she was unconscious.

Xie Chengjin forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, took out the medicine that had been prepared long ago, and applied it on the wounds little by little. Perhaps the stimulation to the wounds was too great, Su Zhizhi's body was trembling slightly.

Xie Chengjin had to be very careful with his movements, and it took him nearly an hour, intermittently, to finally apply the medicine. After helping Su Zhizhi dress neatly, Xie Chengjin let the doctor who had been prepared come in.

After the doctor took Su Zhizhi's pulse, he turned around and looked at Xie Chengjin seriously and said, "Madam is in very bad condition right now.

"Madam, you have too many wounds on your body, and coupled with the mental stress, you have a severe fever. I will prescribe some antipyretic medicine later. Please take it. I will keep a close eye on you overnight. If your fever subsides after this night, you will be fine."

Xie Chengjin's heart skipped a beat. He turned to look at Su Zhizhi who was still lying in bed, nodded, and signaled his men to follow the doctor to get the medicine.

After Xie Chengjin fed Su Zhizhi the medicine, he stayed by Su Zhizhi's side almost all night without sleeping. He stared at Su Zhizhi without blinking, for he was afraid that Su Zhizhi would disappear from his sight in the next second.

The night passed quickly. Xie Chengjin tentatively touched Su Zhizhi's forehead. Seeing that the heat had subsided, Xie Chengjin breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.

Xie Chengjin felt a wave of fatigue coming over him now that he was no longer tense, but he didn't dare to relax. He forced himself to stay awake and sat aside, warming the porridge brought by the servants on the small stove, for fear that Su Zhizhi would have nothing to eat when she woke up.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Zhizhi, who was lying on the bed, finally opened her eyes tremblingly. Perhaps because she had been unconscious for too long, the light entering her eyes made Su Zhizhi feel a little uncomfortable, but the discomfort quickly subsided. She found that her head was a little painful, and then she remembered what she had experienced before she lost consciousness.

She looked at the familiar curtain in front of her, turned her head with difficulty, and saw Xie Chengjin sleeping on the side of the bed.

Xie Chengjin now looked no better than Su Zhizhi. There were dark circles under his eyes and stubble on his chin, which showed that he had not taken good care of himself in the past few days. Su Zhizhi felt her heart soften and her eyes became sore.

She wanted to reach out and touch Xie Chengjin's cheek, but as soon as she moved, Xie Chengjin suddenly woke up. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously looked at Su Zhizhi, but unexpectedly met Su Zhizhi's open eyes. Xie Chengjin was stunned.

Su Zhizhi was startled by Xie Chengjin's actions, and then a smile appeared on her face. "What? Don't you recognize me?"

Su Zhizhi's voice was still a little hoarse. She had hardly eaten or drunk anything in the past few days, and her throat seemed to be rubbed by gravel and was very painful.

Xie Chengjin came back to his senses when he heard Su Zhizhi's voice. He hurriedly poured out a cup of warm tea from the table next to him and handed it to Su Zhizhi's mouth. Su Zhizhi followed Xie Chengjin's instructions and drank it in small sips. Only then did she feel her throat felt much better.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Su Zhizhi finally thought of asking.

Xie Chengjin counted the days carefully and said softly, "It's been three days. If you don't wake up, I'm afraid I'll have to find a doctor to check you out. You've just woken up, and your stomach can't handle meat. I asked someone to make you some porridge. Have some first."

As he spoke, Xie Chengjin took the porcelain bowl and pretended to feed Su Zhizhi porridge.

Su Zhizhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly reached out to take it. "My arm is not broken, I can still eat by myself."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Xie Chengjin's face, and then he let go of her hand. He stared at Su Zhizhi finishing the bowl of porridge, and then he leaned back with peace of mind.

Su Zhizhi's joy didn't last long before she started to frown again. Seeing this, Xie Chengjin hurriedly asked, "You just came out of there, you should be happy, what's wrong?"

Su Zhizhi sighed deeply, looked down at the wound on her arm, and said in a deep voice, "I fell into someone's trap this time. Although the authorities finally found out that I was framed, my competition results have been invalidated. If I want to successfully advance, I must win first place in the semi-finals, otherwise we don't know if we will have another chance."

Seeing Su Zhizhi so badly injured yet still obsessed with the competition, Xie Chengjin couldn't help but feel furious. However, he also knew how important that opportunity was to Su Zhizhi. He sighed slightly and tried to persuade her, "For now, you should focus on healing your wounds. You're lucky you didn't get killed in prison this time. If you're framed again next time, you probably won't be so lucky. We still have a lot of time, so there's no need to rush."

Su Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. "No, this concerns my father. If I want to find out the truth, I must go to the palace. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take. Don't try to persuade me anymore. I know my own body. These wounds may only be distressing, but they are just superficial injuries. They will heal soon. There is still some time before the rematch, so I should be able to make it in time."
