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

"Indeed, Zhizhi, the pastries you made that day were really good."

After Xie Chengjin finished speaking, he continued to look at Su Zhizhi, who was still rocking in the rocking chair, looking very leisurely. "Of course."

Su Zhizhi said very proudly.

Seeing this, Xie Chengjin smiled and said nothing more. Perhaps Su Zhizhi felt that the atmosphere was a little cold, so he quickly spoke to smooth things over, "I wonder how the Fifth Prince is doing."

Su Zhizhi quickly found a topic to talk about so that Xie Chengjin would not be at a loss for words. After hearing this, Xie Chengjin immediately became energetic.

"The Fifth Prince's foot is probably incurable. His Majesty is furious now that he knows about this. He wants a thorough investigation. If nothing is found, he will strip them of their official positions."

Xie Chengjin felt that His Majesty was too concerned about this matter. After hearing Xie Chengjin's words, Su Zhizhi seemed to be thinking about something.

"I've also heard about this matter. It's true that His Majesty takes this matter seriously. As for removing the official hat, it's probably just a rant. After all, attacking the prince in the palace is challenging His Majesty's bottom line."

Su Zhizhi's words were recognized by Xie Chengjin, and Xie Chengjin's opinion of Su Zhizhi also became more positive. He didn't expect that Su Zhizhi could see this matter so clearly.

"That makes sense. If we withdraw them all, the situation won't be any better than it is now. I just don't know who did this. If the instigator is caught, he will definitely not be let off lightly."

Xie Chengjin shook his head. If he was caught doing something like this, his entire clan would probably be implicated. It was simply horrifying to attack the prince in the palace. Perhaps the other princes would be the most suspicious.

Looking at Xie Chengjin's frown as he thought seriously, Su Zhizhi smiled faintly. Did Xie Chengjin come over just to chat with her?

"You didn't come here just to discuss the case with me, did you?"

Su Zhizhi looked at Xie Chengjin. After hearing what Su Zhizhi said, Xie Chengjin came back to his senses and realized that he had gone off topic.

"No, no, of course not. I just want to take you to the new branch of the restaurant. What do you think?"

Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi and waved his hands continuously. After hearing what Xie Chengjin said, Su Zhizhi nodded. She was still happy to go out for dinner, as long as she was not asked to do it herself.

"Okay, but you have to wait for a while. I need to clean up a little." Su Zhizhi explained.

Xie Chengjin was quite shocked. He didn't expect Su Zhizhi to be so fast.

"Okay." Xie Chengjin nodded.

After a while, Su Zhizhi came out of the room.

In this way, the two of them got on a carriage and rushed from Xie's house to the street.

In the carriage, Su Zhizhi was quite excited and wanted to see how the branch's business was doing.

The two chatted and laughed along the way, and soon they arrived at the branch of the restaurant. Looking at the crowd queuing in front of the branch, Su Zhizhi was stunned. The business of this branch was so booming. Xie Chengjin was really extraordinary.

Su Zhizhi looked at Xie Chengjin with confusion. Xie Chengjin also noticed Su Zhizhi's look. At the same time, Xie Chengjin was also very puzzled as to why Su Zhizhi looked at him like that.

"What are you looking at?" Xie Chengjin asked doubtfully. At this moment, Su Zhizhi noticed her own loss of composure and smiled faintly.

"I was wondering, how do you have so much energy?" After Su Zhizhi finished speaking, Xie Chengjin was still very confused. Seeing this, Su Zhizhi continued to explain.

“You are obviously an official in the court, but you are able to manage your business in an orderly manner. This is a booming business. Even if you focus on business and the restaurant, I am afraid you can’t achieve such good results.”

This time, Su Zhizhi admired Xie Chengjin from the bottom of her heart. He really had some skills to be able to manage the business like this.

After hearing Su Zhizhi's words, Xie Chengjin smiled. He was quite satisfied with the management of the restaurant. However, Xie Chengjin was still quite humble.

"Well, my position is nominal after all, and I don't have any real power yet, so no one will find fault with me. So I still have a lot of energy."

After Xie Chengjin finished speaking, Su Zhizhi nodded. Indeed, Xie Chengjin's current position did not offend many people, but even so, Xie Chengjin was still quite powerful.

"It seems that it's not easy for us to have a meal at your place."

Su Zhizhi looked at the long queue and sighed helplessly, wondering how long she would have to wait. Looking at Su Zhizhi's innocent look, Xie Chengjin couldn't help but laugh.

"why are you laughing?"

Su Zhizhi glanced at Xie Chengjin and frowned. After hearing what Su Zhizhi said, Xie Chengjin's smile faded a little.

"Why do we have to queue up to eat here? I've already reserved a room."

After Xie Chengjin said this, Su Zhizhi finally reacted. After all, this restaurant belonged to Xie Chengjin. He could manage the business in an orderly manner on weekdays, so he naturally didn't have to worry about arranging meals.

Looking at the dishes on the table, although simple, they were enough for two people to enjoy, and Su Zhizhi was very satisfied.

"I'm always busy cooking on weekdays, so let's take a break today and enjoy this."

Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi. Su Zhizhi smiled proudly. She picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth.

"Yes, the quality of this branch is no worse than that of the main store."

Su Zhizhi said to Xie Chengjin. After hearing Su Zhizhi's affirmation, Xie Chengjin breathed a sigh of relief. If Su Zhizhi could say that the food here was not bad, then the diners here would surely be even more satisfied with these dishes.

Xie Chengjin was very happy to hear such affirmation. He already knew that his store's business would only become more prosperous in the future.

"Eat as much as you can. If the food isn't enough, I'll get more later."

Xie Chengjin said to Su Zhizhi, and Su Zhizhi quickly shook her head upon seeing this, and waved her hand to signal Xie Chengjin that there was no need to add more dishes.

"There are only two of us. We can eat as much as we can, and it's more than enough to finish these six dishes."

Although she said so, Su Zhizhi really ate a lot. Although the dishes were very simple and it was just an ordinary meal, Su Zhizhi was very satisfied with the meal. Although the food she cooked was delicious, she was too tired to have much appetite after finishing it.

"Are you really done eating?"

Xie Chengjin asked Su Zhizhi after she had finished three dishes. He was afraid that Su Zhizhi was not full and would be polite to him.

Su Zhizhi nodded repeatedly, dragging her belly, and said in a very firm tone, "Of course."

"In that case, I'll go back first. Thank you for your hospitality." Su Zhizhi looked at Xie Chengjin.

Xie Chengjin nodded and agreed, "That's perfect. I have things to take care of too. You can go back first."

After saying that, Xie Chengjin signaled the maid in the restaurant to support Su Zhizhi so that she would not lose her balance due to eating too much, but Su Zhizhi straightened her back quickly.

"It's okay." Su Zhizhi signaled the girl to let go and walked out with a swagger. When she walked outside, Su Zhizhi, who was about to return home, saw Guo Meiling.
