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

The emperor looked at Xie Chengjin with a forced smile, "It's just a misunderstanding, my dear Xie, there's no need to be so nervous. Someone sent me a note a while ago saying that the daughter of a guilty minister, Su Zhizhi, had faked her own death and was undercover in your residence under the pseudonym Xie Yun. I was worried about you, my dear Xie, so I sent someone to summon you."

Upon hearing this, Xie Chengjin said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. However, I personally oversaw the burial of Zhizhi, so there's no chance of her faking her death. Perhaps Your Majesty is worrying too much."

"It's just a misunderstanding. Since there is nothing wrong, Lord Xie can take Miss Xie back." The emperor waved his hand, obviously wanting to send Xie Chengjin away.

Xie Chengjin didn't say anything, but turned around and left the imperial study with Su Zhizhi. Not long after returning to the mansion, the eunuch beside the emperor came with his men and brought a lot of good things, saying that it was compensation for Xie Chengjin.

Royal things are naturally not ordinary items. With so many benefits, Xie Chengjin would certainly not give them up and accepted them without hesitation.

After the eunuch left, Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief. Confirming that no one was eavesdropping, Xie Chengjin turned serious and looked at Su Zhizhi, "What do you think about what happened today?"

Su Zhizhi thought for a moment and did not answer Xie Chengjin's question. Instead, she asked, "What did Si Geya tell you when he came that day?"

Seeing that Su Zhizhi still suspected Si Geya, Xie Chengjin no longer concealed the truth and told Su Zhizhi everything about what happened with Si Geya that day, but he deliberately concealed his true identity.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhizhi fell silent. She obviously didn't expect that her true identity would be discovered because of this. But now it was too late to say anything. Fortunately, she finally managed to deal with the emperor's suspicion this time.

But the capital city is no longer safe for Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin. They both know that regardless of whether Su Zhizhi's affairs have been exposed or not, the emperor is already dissatisfied with them. They just don't know whether the emperor has the intention to kill them again.

To be on the safe side, Xie Chengjin planned to find an opportunity to deal with his mother's affairs and then take Su Zhizhi away from the capital. With this in mind, Xie Chengjin also arranged everything in a hurry.

But before Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi could finalize the date for leaving the capital, the emperor sent someone again.

This time, it was once again the head eunuch beside the emperor. When he saw Xie Chengjin, his smile deepened. After reading the imperial edict, the head eunuch hurriedly helped Xie Chengjin up and said, "Sir Xie, His Majesty has personally bestowed upon you a mansion. This is a blessing that others cannot even ask for. In the court, except for His Majesty's flesh and blood, ordinary officials do not have such treatment. Not to mention, this is a mansion next to the imperial palace. Sir Xie, you should pack up and move in with Miss Xie."

Xie Chengjin smiled and nodded repeatedly, then sent the eunuch away politely. When he returned to Su Zhizhi's side, Xie Chengjin's face was already very ugly.

Su Zhizhi looked at the imperial edict with a very bad expression. "I didn't expect that the emperor would not give up. Even after all this, he still doubts my identity. Is he determined to kill me?"

"But no matter what, it's hard to obey the emperor's order. We can only stay in the capital for now. If we leave at this time, I'm afraid the emperor will become more suspicious. By that time, we will definitely be unable to move forward." Xie Chengjin's face was also very ugly, but there was no other way.

"I know that, but our residence is next to the imperial palace. The emperor must be planning to keep a close eye on us. If anything goes wrong, both you and I will be doomed. We better be careful." Su Zhizhi rubbed his face tiredly.

Xie Chengjin responded. Although neither of them was happy about it, they still packed up their things and moved with their family.

The mansion given by the emperor had already been tidied up inside and out. When Su Zhizhi and the others arrived, they found that there were servants serving in the mansion.

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin glanced at each other subtly. These people looked like servants, but Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin knew very well that most of them were the emperor's spies. There were so many of them, which showed how deep the emperor's suspicion of Su Zhizhi was.

Su Zhizhi cursed Sigoya thousands of times in her heart, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the new mansion. The two of them walked into the supervision network specially woven by the emperor.

After settling down in the new mansion, Su Zhizhi resumed her life of staying at home. However, after learning that Xie Yun was Su Zhizhi's boyfriend Xu Miao, she began to come here frequently. Just like before, she even had her own yard here. As it was closer to her princess residence, Xu Miao would come here every few days with his belongings to stay for a while and keep Su Zhizhi company.

This also makes Su Zhizhi's days at home less boring.

Xu Miao's whereabouts were no longer a secret in the capital, and even reached the ears of Shen Wenjun, who didn't pay much attention to Xu Miao.

Others might think that the relationship between Xu Miao and Xie Yun has improved, or perhaps Xu Miao has long forgotten Su Zhizhi, but Shen Wenjun, who knows Xu Miao's personality, doesn't think so. Even though he doesn't understand anything, Xu Miao's attitude towards Xie Yun alone makes Shen Wenjun feel that something is wrong.

After all, Shen Wenjun knew very well how much of a blow Xu Miao suffered when he heard the news of Su Zhizhi's death. On the surface, Xie Yun was the woman Xie Chengjin brought into the mansion shortly after Su Zhizhi's death, and she had a close relationship with Xie Chengjin. It was impossible for Xu Miao not to dislike Xie Yun.

Therefore, Shen Wenjun began to doubt Xie Yun's identity. After thinking it over again and again, Shen Wenjun took the initiative to visit Xie Chengjin.

When Xie Chengjin received the servant's notification at the mansion, he was astonished. He hadn't expected Shen Wenjun to visit again. Although Xie Chengjin didn't particularly like Shen Wenjun, he didn't turn her away. He simply had her taken directly to the study, not allowing her to wander around the mansion. "Master Xie, how are you?" Shen Wenjun said, a few words in silence as she approached Xie Chengjin. Xie Chengjin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Master Shen, you're still venting your anger that day. Are you planning to attack me again by coming here today?" Xie Chengjin's words were thick with teasing. Shen Wenjun was silent for a moment, then said, "That day... I'm sorry, I was too excited. I came here today to apologize to Master Xie." "Master Shen, that's too kind. I think Master Shen's coming here today isn't just for apology," Xie Chengjin hinted, but didn't say it explicitly.
