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

Shen Wenjun was naturally not a dull person. She could roughly guess that Xie Chengjin had someone close to the emperor. She nodded and followed Xie Chengjin's words, saying, "Master Xie is a smart man. Master Xie also knows that I am engaged to Princess Changle. Today, I heard that the princess often visited Master Xie's residence, so I thought of coming to see her."

"In that case, I was overly suspicious. Well, His Highness is probably staying in Xie Yun's yard right now. I'll let the servants take Lord Shen there." Xie Chengjin said, calling a servant from the door and taking Shen Wenjun to Xie Yun's yard.

Inside the house, Su Zhizhi was chatting and laughing with Xu Miao. Because of the emperor's suspicion of her, Su Zhizhi had told Xu Miao to call herself Xie Yun and never reveal even a hint of Su Zhizhi's name.

Although Xu Miao didn't quite understand, he still did as he was told. Whether it was Su Zhizhi or Xie Yun, to Xu Miao, they were just names. As long as it was Su Zhizhi, it was fine.

When Shen Wenjun came in, she saw Xu Miao and Su Zhizhi chatting happily.

When Su Zhizhi saw Shen Wenjun come in, the smile on her face faded a little, and she said, "Why are you here today, Lord Shen? Are you here to see His Highness?"

Shen Wenjun didn't say anything, but just sat next to Xu Miao. Xu Miao curled his lips and sat a little further to the side, deliberately keeping a distance from Shen Wenjun. Su Zhizhi saw everything, but just smiled and didn't say anything.

Shen Wenjun naturally noticed Xu Miao's actions, but his eyes only paused for a moment on Xu Miao. Then he looked at Su Zhizhi and said, "Just now in the study, I was chatting with Master Xie and talked about Miss Xie. I would like to ask, when did Miss Xie come to the capital?"

The smile in Su Zhizhi's eyes faded. As soon as Shen Wenjun said this, Su Zhizhi realized that Shen Wenjun began to doubt her identity.

Fortunately, Su Zhizhi was well prepared. When she was preparing to change her appearance, she had prepared a set of flawless excuses for herself. No matter who secretly investigated, they could only find out that Xie Yun had a very complete life experience and had nothing to do with Su Zhizhi.

"Of course it was three months ago. Why do you say that, Lord Shen?" Su Zhizhi looked at Shen Wenjun and smiled faintly.

Shen Wenjun was silent. It had been less than two months since Su Zhizhi passed away, but Xie Yun had arrived in Beijing three months ago, so the time didn't match.

But Shen Wenjun was not stupid. He also thought that Su Zhizhi might have tampered with the time, so he asked several questions in succession, one after another, and any mistake would be discovered by Shen Wenjun.

But to Shen Wenjun's disappointment, Su Zhizhi's angry answer was flawless, as if Xie Yun and Su Zhizhi were really two different people.

After answering the last part, Su Zhizhi was a little annoyed. She hated being questioned in the first place, and now Shen Wenjun was hitting on her sore spot.

Shen Wenjun noticed that Su Zhizhi was in a bad mood. She knew that no matter how much she doubted him, this was all she could do today, and she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Not finding the information he wanted, Shen Wenjun got up and left in disappointment.

Xu Miao didn't say a word the whole time. He just turned sideways to Shen Wenjun and his eyes never fell on Shen Wenjun.

It was not until Shen Wenjun left that Xu Miao turned his gaze to Shen Wenjun's slightly lonely figure.

Xu Miao subconsciously bit his lips and watched Shen Wenjun leave worriedly.

Su Zhizhi noticed Xu Miao's reaction and said with a smile, "Since you're worried, why not follow him and take a look? That'll put your mind at ease."

Seeing his thoughts exposed, Xu Miao said awkwardly, "I'm not worried about him."

The smile on Su Zhizhi's face suddenly deepened. "Okay, okay, you're not worried about him, so are you going to follow him now?"

Xu Miao hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and chased after him, without even having time to say hello to Su Zhizhi.

Su Zhizhi was at a loss for words, but she let Xu Miao go.

Xu Miao moved quickly and soon saw Shen Wenjun not far away. After hesitating for a moment, Xu Miao still did not choose to talk to Shen Wenjun, but chose to follow silently behind him. However, he did not notice that there was someone behind him who was staring at him quietly.

The man was a local hooligan. Seeing Xu Miao turn into a small alley, the hooligan quickly quickened his pace and followed him, blocking him before Xu Miao left the alley.

"Where are you going, young lady?" The gangster's face was full of lust, and his disgusting eyes kept wandering over Xu Miao.

At this time, Xu Miao felt scared, but looking at Suzhou, Xu Miao became more and more desperate. Shen Wenjun, who he could see before, was no longer visible now. This was a place where few people walked. For the first time, Xu Miao felt helpless.

But facing the gangster, Xu Miao didn't want to appear too cowardly, so he bravely looked at the gangster and asked, "What do you want to do in broad daylight?"

The scoundrel wasn't frightened by Xu Miao's bravado at all. Instead, he took a few steps closer. "Oh, I didn't expect this young lady to have such a fierce temper. What a coincidence! I like fierce girls."

After saying that, the gangster made a move to pounce on him. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the gangster was knocked unconscious from behind and fell limply to the ground.

Xu Miao was frightened and closed his eyes. He didn't feel the gangster rushing towards him for a long time. Then he mustered up the courage to open his eyes and saw the figure of Shen Wenjun who had disappeared.

Seeing that he was discovered in a disheveled state, Xu Miao subconsciously straightened his clothes and then looked up at Shen Wenjun.

Shen Wenjun frowned and looked at Xu Miao, "Why is Your Highness the Princess here without a maidservant?"

Xu Miao choked. She was in the wrong, but looking at Shen Wenjun's expression, she thought for a moment and said stubbornly, "Why do you care where I am? I'm happy to go out for a stroll by myself. Is that not okay?"

A flash of annoyance crossed Shen Wenjun's face, but he handled this emotion very well, and Xu Miao didn't notice it at all. "This is your highness's freedom, and I have no right to interfere. But the princess is a precious girl, and it's better for her to have a maid by her side. This time it was just a fluke for your highness, and you don't want this to happen again." After saying that, Shen Wenjun wanted to turn around and leave, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with Xu Miao. After hesitating for a long time, Xu Miao stopped Shen Wenjun, "Shen Wenjun! Wait a minute!" After that, Xu Miao ran to Shen Wenjun and asked the question in his heart, "Shen Wenjun, can't you let go of Zhizhi? Even though she is married, or even dead now."
