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

Xu Wanqing had no idea that Xie Chengjin was going to attack her, and was still busy raising funds in her own house.

The previous gambling debts were almost settled, but those were all paid from the private treasury of her princess mansion. Now that she had some free time, Xu Wanqing was ready to use some tricks to make a big profit.

However, when Xu Wanqing looked at the account book in her hand, she found that it did not match the items in the private treasury of the mansion at all.

Xu Wanqing originally thought that she had calculated it wrong, but after checking it over and over again many times, there was still a big gap.

Xu Wanqing did not give up and began to check it bit by bit. Only then did she discover that the problem was with the contract between Xie Chengjin and herself.

Xu Wanqing had a cold face and asked someone to bring the contract to her.

Looking at the clauses in the contract, Xu Wanqing's face became darker and darker.

"Xie Chengjin, this bitch! How dare he cheat me!" Xu Wanqing was furious.

She only realized now that Xie Chengjin had set a trap for her. Those shops were clearly empty shells registered under her name. Not only did she not earn any income, but she also suffered huge losses every day.

Xu Wanqing was so furious that she tore up the contract and threw it on the ground. "Xie Chengjin, you made this choice yourself. Don't blame me. If you want to trick me, I'll make you cough up everything!"

Xu Wanqing took a deep breath and said, "It's not just Xie Chengjin, Su Zhizhi, you won't have an easy time either."

At this moment, Xu Wanqing hated both Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to take action against Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi at all costs.

But when she was giving the orders, Xu Wanqing forced herself to regain her sanity. What she needed more than anything else was a lot of money, so Xu Wanqing showed a sinister smile. This money was destined to be paid by Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi.

At this time, Xu Wanqing already had a plan in mind. She first sent people to invite Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin over.

The two of them were now in their own house, and unexpectedly heard the servants announce that Xu Wanqing had sent someone.

Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin looked at each other with confusion on their faces, but they still asked people to let Xu Wanqing's men in.

This time, Xu Wanqing's people were not very polite to Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin. Instead, they were a bit arrogant and domineering. The faces of the two of them turned cold in an instant.

But even so, Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi did not treat her with any malice, but just asked Xu Wanqing what was going on.

The man refused to reveal anything, only saying that the eldest princess had invited him. There was no choice, and the two of them had to set off.

Xu Wanqing had originally wanted to separate the two, but she didn't expect to see them walk in together. However, Xu Wanqing was only stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her face. She first waved to Su Zhizhi and said, "Zhizhi, come and sit next to me. The rest of you, take Master Xie to the side hall and wait. I want to talk to Zhizhi alone for a few words."

Afterwards, Xu Wanqing paused, turned her gaze to Xie Chengjin, and said with a half-smile, "Master Xie should have no objection, right?"

Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. Right now, Xu Wanqing was planning to divide them up and defeat them, but now that this was all Xu Wanqing's territory, the two of them didn't dare to act rashly.

Xie Chengjin thought about it, and then his face did not show any strangeness. He nodded to Xu Wanqing, "Of course, I am relieved. Since Your Highness has something to discuss with Zhizhi alone, then I will take my leave first."

Afterwards, Xie Chengjin followed the servant who was guiding him out. Before leaving, Xie Chengjin exchanged glances with Su Zhizhi calmly.

When Xie Chengjin disappeared, the smile on Xu Wanqing's face also suddenly disappeared. She stared at Su Zhizhi expressionlessly, and there was even a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Su Zhizhi noticed the change in Xu Wanqing's attitude and pretended to know nothing. She asked, "I wonder what's the important matter, Your Highness?"

Xu Wanqing leaned back slightly, casually brushing her nails. She said nonchalantly, "Why did I call you here today? Doesn't Zhizhi know? Or do you think that the title of "daughter of a traitor" can't do anything to you now?"

Su Zhizhi's heart trembled, and she now understood that Xu Wanqing was unwilling to continue to flatter her, so she directly placed the thing in her hand in front of Su Zhizhi and threatened her openly.

Su Zhizhi took a deep breath, walked over to Xu Wanqing and knelt down. "I don't know what Your Highness is talking about. If it's about the Queen's incident earlier, I have no way to refute it. But I think Your Highness also knows what happened in the palace at that time. Even if I want to, I am powerless. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."

Su Zhizhi said this, but she almost cursed Xu Wanqing to death in her heart.

"Hmph, Su Zhizhi, don't think that I'm unaware of what you're thinking. Just remember, I still have the leverage over you. If you don't want this news to get out, then do as I say. I won't do anything to you. But if you dare to pretend to obey me but secretly disobey, I don't know what will happen." Xu Wanqing displayed the aura of the eldest princess. Su Zhizhi, who was kneeling there, felt a thin layer of cold sweat seeping out of her back.

"Forget it, you stand up and talk first." Seeing Su Zhizhi kneeling there, Xu Wanqing waved her hand casually.

"Yes." Su Zhizhi sat back in her original seat.

Xu Wanqing then slowly stood up, glanced at Su Zhizhi, said something, and went to the side hall accompanied by her maid.

Seeing Xu Wanqing leave, Su Zhizhi's face turned completely dark. She didn't know what had stimulated Xu Wanqing. Now she was so reckless that she asked for three thousand taels of silver. With so much money, Su Zhizhi didn't know what Xu Wanqing was going to do.

In the side hall, Xie Chengjin sat in his seat with a serious expression and deep eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking.

Seeing Xu Wanqing walk in, Xie Chengjin slowly stood up and saluted.

Without waiting for Xie Chengjin to kneel down, Xu Wanqing waved her hand irritably, "You don't have to put on any pretense in front of me, Xie Chengjin. I never thought you were truly capable. You even dared to plot against me."

Xu Wanqing was naturally talking about the contract, and Xie Chengjin knew it very well, but he still denied it, "Your Highness, you are too serious. I dare not."

"Hmph, you don't dare? Is there anything else that you, the prince of an enemy country, wouldn't dare to do? Hmm?" Xu Wanqing sneered and directly revealed Xie Chengjin's identity.

Xie Chengjin clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves suddenly, and forced himself not to look up and glare at Xu Wanqing.
