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

Seeing that she really couldn't get anything out of Song's father, Su Zhizhi felt extremely disappointed. When she wanted to ask something else, Song's father's face was full of rejection.

Su Zhizhi was not someone who could not understand people's expressions. Seeing this, she had to give up asking questions and turned around to leave the Song Mansion.

But just as Su Zhizhi was walking towards the mansion gate, she suddenly smelled something burning in the air.

She subconsciously turned her head to check and found a faint firelight in the corner of the wall. She looked around and made sure that no one noticed her, then quietly went over to check.

Su Zhizhi stood in a place where she would not be noticed and went to see what those people were doing. Unexpectedly, she saw several servants burning something.

Su Zhizhi was a little curious and looked carefully at the things in those people's hands. Then, she widened her eyes. She remembered those things very clearly. They were clearly some letters. They looked very similar to the letters that Song's father had shown her before.

Su Zhizhi was very confused and didn't understand why these letters had to be burned. It must have been Song's father's order. Su Zhizhi didn't know why Song's father did this, and it was impossible for her to go back and ask Song's father now. She had to keep it in mind and wait for a chance to ask again in the future.

Thinking of this, Su Zhizhi did not disturb others and walked towards the gate of the mansion again.

After returning to the carriage, Su Zhizhi finally let out a long sigh. In fact, she could feel that Song's father must have been hiding something, but Song's father was unwilling to say it out loud, and Su Zhizhi had no choice.

On the way back home, Su Zhizhi kept reviewing everything that had happened in her mind, but still found nothing. All the evidence pointed to Xu Chao, but Xu Chao was already dead, and there was no evidence to prove anything.

Su Zhizhi felt a surge of anger in her heart, and she wished she could drag out Xu Chao's corpse and whip it, but she could only think about it and could not really do it.

The carriage slowly stopped. Su Zhizhi looked outside and saw the gate of the mansion. She then suppressed the irritation on her face, got off the carriage and walked towards the mansion.

But before she even entered the mansion, someone called out from behind, "Miss Su, please stay."

The voice was very familiar. Su Zhizhi's heart skipped a beat, but she still turned around and looked over. The moment she saw the other person, Su Zhizhi's heart skipped a beat and her pupils widened suddenly. The person who came was actually Xu Wanqing's personal nanny.

Su Zhizhi pinched her thigh, then smiled and walked towards the man.

"I didn't expect you to come today, Madam. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you can forgive me."

The nanny just smiled insincerely and avoided Su Zhizhi's touch.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has been thinking about you day and night during this period. It just so happens that you are on leave, so she has specially asked me to come and invite you to the Princess's Mansion for a chat. Please come in, young lady." As she spoke, the nanny made a gesture of invitation.

Su Zhizhi's face froze. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but the nanny seemed to see what she was going to say and spoke first, "Miss Su, you'd better hurry up and don't make Her Royal Highness wait anxiously. You may not know, but Her Royal Highness's mood has been unpredictable lately. You and I... can't afford to offend her."

This was already a blatant threat, how could Su Zhizhi not know what it meant? Seeing that her idea of ​​seeking help had been discovered, she could only bite the bullet and board the carriage heading to the princess's mansion.

In the carriage, the nanny sat opposite Su Zhizhi. The two looked at each other in silence. Su Zhizhi felt extremely awkward, but she didn't dare to move. She felt really depressed.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the Princess's Mansion, and Su Zhizhi followed the nanny in.

As soon as she entered the mansion, Su Zhizhi noticed that the atmosphere in the princess's mansion was a little strange and solemn. The maids and servants who walked back and forth were also very careful, for fear of angering the most honorable person in the mansion.

Su Zhizhi looked at this atmosphere and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Then she calmed down and followed the nanny towards Xu Wanqing's bedroom.

At the door, the nanny knocked respectfully, "Your Highness, Miss Su is here. Do you want to let her in now?"

But there was no response from inside. Su Zhizhi thought the other party was not in the room or had fallen asleep. Then Xu Wanqing's slightly annoyed voice rang out, "Come in."

The nanny pushed open the door and motioned Su Zhizhi to walk in. Looking at the door that opened in front of her, Su Zhizhi felt as if she was standing in front of the abyss of some giant mouth, and she would be swallowed up in the next second.

Su Zhizhi couldn't afford to retreat now, so she took a deep breath and walked into the house.

As soon as she entered the room, a strong fragrance rushed into Su Zhizhi's nostrils. Su Zhizhi felt very uncomfortable and had to hold her breath carefully and came to Xu Wanqing.

Xu Wanqing was sitting at the table by the window fiddling with something. When she heard Su Zhizhi coming in, she didn't speak first, and didn't even give Su Zhizhi a glance.

Su Zhizhi knelt down and bowed respectfully, but there was no reply from Xu Wanqing for a long time. Su Zhizhi had no choice but to kneel like that. After a long time, she felt like her legs were not her own.

Su Zhizhi had no choice but to clear her throat quietly and make some small noises in an attempt to attract Xu Wanqing's attention.

Xu Wanqing seemed to have just noticed Su Zhizhi's figure. She turned around and said, "Zhizhi is here! How do you servants do your work? You didn't even inform me when Zhizhi came. You are a bunch of useless people. Go down and receive your punishment."

The servants all lowered their heads and dared not breathe. Although they all knew that this was just an unprovoked disaster, they had no choice but to endure it. What's more, some of them looked at Su Zhizhi with resentment in their eyes, and then filed out.

Su Zhizhi stood up on trembling legs and stood in front of Xu Wanqing. She just said lightly, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Wanqing looked a little uncomfortable, and the maid beside her kept massaging her forehead, and only then did Xu Wanqing feel better.

After a long while, Xu Wanqing finally spoke: "Come, please take a seat and serve tea."

Su Zhizhi sat down politely, then carefully asked, "May I ask, Your Highness, why did you summon me here today?"

"It's nothing big. I just want to ask Zhizhi, what do you think about what I told you before?" Xu Wanqing waved her hand casually, and the palace maid beside her retreated quietly.

Su Zhizhi lowered her head, kept silent, and did not dare to speak easily.
