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

Su Zhizhi was slightly startled when she heard the voice, then immediately nodded cautiously and agreed, "Okay, I understand."

Seeing Su Zhizhi nodded in agreement, Xie Chengjin immediately felt relieved.

Su Zhizhi did not gain nothing during this period. Through her efforts, she had gotten to know many housekeepers, and she took the opportunity to ask them about her biological father's deeds.

Among them, Song Qing, the eldest daughter of the Song family who was at odds with Xu Chao and his friends, provided her with key and reliable information. Song Qing said that her father knew about the matter. In addition, Song Qing's father and Xu Chao had always been at odds, so Su Zhizhi felt that the other party's words were somewhat credible, and planned to take the opportunity to go to the Song family to find out the truth.

At the banquet.

Su Zhizhi and Song Qing got along very well and felt like they were old friends from the first sight.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two had to separate. Song Qing reluctantly pulled Su Zhizhi's arm and said, "Miss Su, if you have time, please come to our house and be a guest."

Su Zhizhi nodded and agreed with a smile, "Okay, but I have something to do these two days, so I have to visit your house in a couple of days."

"That's fine, as long as you're free." Song Qing said happily when he saw Su Zhizhi nodded in agreement.

After saying that, the two of them got on the carriage and left.

A few days later, as soon as Su Zhizhi had her holiday, she immediately rushed to the Song family to fulfill her promise to visit Song Qing.

As soon as Su Zhizhi entered the Song Mansion, she saw Song's father. At first sight, Song's father felt that Su Zhizhi looked familiar, and that she looked somewhat like Su Yongan, who was also an official in the past.

So Father Song couldn't help but ask Su Zhizhi, "Do you know Su Yongan?"

Father Song looked at Su Zhizhi and asked tentatively.

Su Zhizhi was slightly taken aback when she heard this. Wasn't Su Yongan her biological father? Why did the other party ask this?

Su Zhizhi looked at Song's father in front of her, unable to figure out his attitude. Although Song Qing had given her a lot of help, the matter was ultimately related to Su Zhizhi's life safety, so Su Zhizhi had to think more about it.

Thinking of this, Su Zhizhi's eyes gradually became full of vigilance when she looked at Song's father. She was now living in the capital under an assumed name, not daring to let people know too much about herself. After all, she was the daughter of a criminal, and logically speaking, she could not enter the capital at will. What's more, she came to the capital this time to overturn the verdict. If the enemy knew about it, Su Zhizhi knew without a doubt what would happen to her.

Song's father naturally noticed the change in Su Zhizhi's attitude, and an annoyed expression suddenly appeared on his face. He turned his head away quietly, as if he was very regretful of what he had just said.

"Don't worry, I mean no harm. I just felt that you looked a bit like my old friend, so I asked casually." Seeing that Su Zhizhi's face was getting worse and worse, Song's father was very anxious and quickly opened his mouth to defend himself.

Su Zhizhi said nothing, still standing there coldly, looking quietly at Song's father in front of her, still looking very vigilant.

Seeing this, Song's father sighed silently. He knew that at this point, nothing he said would work. He had to produce substantial evidence to make Su Zhizhi less wary of him.

Moreover, based on Su Zhizhi's sudden change, Song's father guessed that the other party was most likely Su Yongan's daughter.

Father Song stroked his wrist, but he was still a little conflicted. Su Zhizhi was not in a hurry either. She just stood there and watched quietly, making it easy for people to ignore her existence.

Finally, Song Qing couldn't stand it any longer. "Father? Father? Miss Su has been standing for so long, you should at least let her sit down."

After saying that, Song Qing pulled Su Zhizhi aside and sat down. Father Su suddenly came to his senses. He looked at Su Zhizhi. After a long while, Father Song said to Song Qing, "Qing'er, go back to your own courtyard first. Miss Su and I have something to discuss."

Song Qing rarely saw her father so serious. Although she wanted to stay here, she still obediently left.

Then Father Song said to Su Zhizhi, "Your father and I are old acquaintances. We used to have a good relationship. From now on, I will call you Zhizhi. I know you don't trust me very much yet, but please come with me for now. I have something that may be able to dispel your doubts."

After saying this, Father Song looked at Su Zhizhi hopefully, waiting for Su Zhizhi's reaction.

Su Zhizhi pondered for a long time before deciding to take a risk for her father's sake. She stood up, looked at her father, and said, "Then please lead the way, Master Su. As for the matter between Master Su and my father, we'll discuss it later."

Su Zhizhi stood there. Although she was a girl, her demeanor made Song's father couldn't help but miss Su's father.

"Zhizhi, you look so much like your father now. Your family has suffered so much over the years." Father Song said, his eyes welling up with tears.

Su Zhizhi didn't say anything and didn't urge anyone, but just waited for Song's father to lead the way.

Looking at Su Zhizhi like this, Song's father sighed slightly, walked in front of Su Zhizhi, and brought her to his study.

In the study, Song's father moved something, and the secret compartment behind the bookcase slowly opened in front of Su Zhizhi, revealing the contents inside.

The secret compartment is not big, and there is only a walnut box inside, which looks to be in good condition.

Song's father walked over and carefully took out the box. "Here are all the letters I exchanged with your father, as well as this token."

Father Song took a look at the letter in the box to Su Zhizhi, and then handed Su Zhizhi a black jade token.

Su Zhizhi reached out to take it. The token felt warm to the touch. It was indeed a rare and valuable item, but it was only made into a token. Su Zhizhi didn't quite understand why.

Seeing Su Zhizhi's confusion, Song's father explained, "This token was left to me by your father. It can mobilize all his assassins. Your father had anticipated a disaster and left it with me. But no one expected the accident to happen so quickly. Before I could react, your father..."

At the end, Song's father choked up.

Su Zhizhi was silent for a moment, put down the token, and then began to check the letters.

After Su Zhizhi carefully examined it, her suspicion of Song's father was slightly reduced.

When Su Zhizhi raised her head again, Song's father was looking at her with hope on his face.

Instantly, Su Zhizhi began to think about it. She said to Father Song apologetically, "Sir Song, it's my fault today. I hope you don't mind."

"Zhizhi, what are you talking about? I've heard a little bit about what happened to your father back then, but I was completely powerless at the time. I could only watch your father become like that."

When talking about what happened back then, Song's father was filled with emotion.
