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

Xie Chengjin had long been fed up with Xu Wanqing, who relied on her title as the eldest princess to do evil in the capital. The first time he saw Xu Wanqing, Xie Chengjin knew that she was not a good person.

If Su Zhizhi's identity had not been exposed, Xie Chengjin would not have wanted to turn against Xu Wanqing right now, but compared to Xu Wanqing's value, Su Zhizhi was obviously more important.

The moment Xu Wanqing used Su Zhizhi to threaten Xie Chengjin, Xie Chengjin started to hate Xu Wanqing. He hated being threatened the most in his life, and Xu Wanqing was obviously hitting his sore spot.

Although she is the eldest princess, Xie Chengjin cannot do anything to her directly, but he can still teach Xu Wanqing a lesson.

Before Xu Wanqing came to the villa, Xie Chengjin instructed his men to do something to her carriage after she left the villa to teach her a lesson.

Xie Chengjin's men also did a very good job. On the road some distance away from the villa, several people pulled two silk threads on both sides of the road that were not easy to be found. The coachman did not see it and drove the horse straight over. The silk threads instantly tightened and embedded into the horse's hooves. The horse felt pain and fell to the ground instantly. The carriage also swayed from side to side for a while, and finally fell to the ground with a bang.

Xu Wanqing in the carriage was not prepared and bumped into the carriage several times. Finally, she fell heavily inside the carriage. Her head hit the corner of the table directly, and blood immediately flowed out of her forehead.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!..." Seeing this, the maid in the carriage screamed and then fainted.

When the people hiding in the bushes nearby heard the sound, they were all delighted. "You deserve it! You bullied our mistress, and now you're getting your comeuppance."

"Okay, let's leave quickly, don't let anyone catch us, otherwise it will be difficult for the master." There was a steady one among them, who saw that the plan succeeded and quickly left the place.

The news of the eldest princess' accidental injury quickly spread throughout the capital. The emperor was concerned about the eldest princess's injury and sent many imperial doctors to treat her. Everyone in the palace also knew the news.

Many concubines just wanted to watch the fun and have fun. When they knew about it, they would just smile and not say anything more.

But when Su Zhizhi heard the news, she was stunned. She was worried that Xu Wanqing would come to see her again, but she didn't expect that the news she received again was about Xu Wanqing being injured.

No matter what, Su Zhizhi felt relieved and inexplicably happy. At least Xu Wanqing wouldn't be able to find her in the short term.

At the same time, Su Zhizhi was constantly speculating about who did this. Although she was in the palace now and didn't know the situation outside, she had a hunch that this was most likely the work of Xie Chengjin.

Thanks to Xu Wanqing's injury, Su Zhizhi was able to relax a lot. When she returned home, she asked Xie Chengjin, "Did you cause the princess's injury?"

Xie Chengjin was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and nodded, "How come you know so much about what's going on outside the palace when you're in it? You even guessed it was me who did it."

Su Zhizhi was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Xie Chengjin to actually admit it.

"How many people in the capital dare to attack the princess? Besides, Her Royal Highness the Princess left the city for no reason that day. I know you were in the villa outside the city. Who else could it be but you?" Su Zhizhi rolled her eyes at Xie Chengjin, then sat down beside him. She was very tired after returning to the mansion.

"But do you know why I attacked her?" Xie Chengjin also became interested at this time. He poured a glass of water for Su Zhizhi and asked.

Su Zhizhi took it, drank it slowly, and shook her head when she heard it.

Thinking of what happened that day, Xie Chengjin's face turned a little ugly. "She actually threatened me with you. I was so angry that I just taught her a lesson."

After hearing this, Su Zhizhi was stunned. She didn't expect Xie Chengjin to do this for this reason.

Although she knew very well that Xie Chengjin and she were now tied to the same rope, and if anything happened to her, Xie Chengjin would naturally not be able to escape unscathed, but Xie Chengjin attacked Xu Wanqing just because Xu Wanqing threatened him with her. It would be a lie for Su Zhizhi to say that she was not touched.

In fact, Su Zhizhi has always been able to feel Xie Chengjin's attitude towards her. Although she wants to control her emotions towards him, at this point, she can't help but be moved by Xie Chengjin. She even thought that it would be better to try to trust Xie Chengjin completely.

However, Su Zhizhi still buried all of this in her heart and did not say it out loud. For her now, there are things more important than love.

Xie Chengjin was also exhausted after a whole day and finally couldn't hold on any longer, so he simply went back to the house to take a shower and rest.

Su Zhizhi thought about it and got up and went to the kitchen. After all, Xie Chengjin was standing up for Su Zhizhi to some extent. Su Zhizhi thought that she had to do something for Xie Chengjin.

After much deliberation, Su Zhizhi decided to make some health-preserving soup for Xie Chengjin.

Even though Xie Chengjin tried her best to hide it, Su Zhizhi could still see the fatigue on her face. It seemed that she had been working hard for who knows how long.

Su Zhizhi was thinking about the recipe for the health-preserving soup in the imperial kitchen. She searched around in the kitchen and finally gathered all the necessary ingredients. She put everything into the stewing pot and then sat down to rest for a while.

About half an hour later, the health-preserving soup was ready. She was afraid that Xie Chengjin was already lying in bed to rest, so she didn't bother to wait for the soup to cool down and went straight to Xie Chengjin's room with it.

At this time, Xie Chengjin had just finished showering and was only wearing a layer of underwear. When Su Zhizhi came in, she was greeted by Xie Chengjin, who was half leaning against the head of the bed with his black hair loose and wearing a white underwear.

At first glance, Su Zhizhi had only one thought, "Is this person trying to seduce me?"

"Zhizhi, what are you looking at? You look so focused." Xie Chengjin noticed Su Zhizhi's gaze and couldn't help but smile.

Su Zhizhi suddenly came back to her senses, and her face turned red when she thought of her reaction just now. She pretended that nothing had happened and came to Xie Chengjin with the things in her hand.

"Here, you don't look well. This is the health-preserving soup I made for you. Although the ingredients are not as good as those in the palace, I think the effect should be similar. Drink it while it's hot." Su Zhizhi handed the bowl to Xie Chengjin.

Xie Chengjin moved closer. Although it was a health-preserving soup, it smelled more like a medicinal soup. It was bitter and not very appealing to drink.
