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

When Su Zhizhi heard Meng's mother asking about this, her face froze for a moment. She forced a smile at Meng's mother, but remained silent for a long time. Finally, she just said, "Don't worry, mother. I will definitely work hard. It shouldn't take long."

Mother Meng could see Su Zhizhi's hesitation and distress, and couldn't help but comfort her, "Zhizhi, you don't need to feel so much pressure. Everything is fine now. As for redress, leave it to God's will. If God has eyes, then we won't have to wait too long. Zhizhi, don't put too much pressure on yourself. For things to have developed to this point, Mother knows you've done your best."

Faced with Meng Mu's comfort, Su Zhizhi felt a lump in her throat. Meng Mu never thought that it was natural for Su Zhizhi to do these things. She only felt sorry for her only daughter.

"Mother, you should recuperate at home now. You have suffered so much in that small village over the years and have developed many chronic illnesses. This is a good opportunity for you to recuperate. The doctor who is treating you now was found by Xie Chengjin after much inquiry. Apart from the imperial physicians in the palace, his medical skills are the best." Su Zhizhi didn't want the atmosphere to remain so solemn, so she changed the subject.

The mother and daughter made things clear, and Meng's mother felt relieved. Su Zhizhi made a special trip to send Meng's mother back to her own yard, and then went back to rest.

The next day, when Su Zhizhi went to find Xie Chengjin, she told Xie Chengjin what happened the night before. Xie Chengjin was not too surprised when he heard it. "You are very attentive, so it is not difficult for you to notice these things. Look, you have been discovered." Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi with a smile.

Su Zhizhi looked distressed. Upon hearing this, she glared at Xie Chengjin and said, "Don't think I don't know that you are gloating over someone else's misfortune. You'd better not be too happy too soon."

"Okay, okay, then I won't laugh anymore. But, aren't you planning to let Peizhi go see A Niang?" Xie Chengjin changed the subject, thinking of Su Peizhi, and asked.

Su Zhizhi was silent for a moment, then shook her head. "No, I don't plan to let A Niang meet Pei Zhi until things have taken a clear turn for the better. Pei Zhi is still young, after all. Although I've told A Niang some things, she doesn't know I faked my death to get away. I'm worried Pei Zhi will tell others."

Upon hearing this, Xie Chengjin was silent for a moment. His original choice was forced, but he didn't expect that Su Zhizhi would be caught in the middle, with no way out. But since things had happened, he had to bite the bullet and move on.

Su Peizhi heard from somewhere that Meng's mother was already living in the mansion, and for several days after school he wanted to see Meng's mother.

But he was stopped by Yun Qing, that is, Su Zhizhi every time. It was okay once or twice, but if it happened several times, Su Peizhi must be very dissatisfied.

"Yunqing, why don't you let me in!" Su Peizhi asked Su Zhizhi angrily with his hands on his waist.

Su Zhizhi simply said in a serious tone, "Mr. Su, please go back. Madam Meng is now in the mansion to recuperate. No one is allowed to visit unless it's something urgent."

Su Peizhi was anxious, "That's my mother, why can't I go see her?!"

Su Zhizhi remained unmoved and continued to speak the same way. Su Peizhi became even more enraged and threatened, "Yunqing, if you don't let me in today, I'm going to go find Master Xie!"

Su Zhizhi felt a little amused, thinking that Su Peizhi was still a child after all, and the only thing he could think of was to complain.

Seeing that Su Zhizhi still refused to give in, Su Peizhi stamped his feet and then ran straight to Xie Chengjin's study.

"Master Xie, can you please manage your subordinates?!" Su Peizhi also disliked Xie Chengjin a little because of Xie Yun's matter.

Xie Chengjin felt a headache and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"Of course it's that Yun Qing. You didn't tell me that my mother was going to Beijing, but now I know that my mother is living in the mansion, but that Yun Qing just won't let me in. She's my mother, why is he stopping me!" Su Peizhi became more and more angry and aggrieved as he spoke. At the end, he looked like he was about to cry.

Xie Chengjin was helpless when he heard this. Although he was a little puzzled by Su Zhizhi's decision, he could only cooperate with Su Zhizhi and continue to act. "Peizhi, don't worry. Mother is still recovering from her illness. The doctor also said that Mother needs to rest and can't be disturbed during this period. You don't want all the treatment for Mother to go to waste, right?"

Hearing this, Su Peizhi hesitated. Seeing Su Peizhi's hesitation, Xie Chengjin took advantage of the situation and finally fooled Su Peizhi with some persuasion.

That night, Xie Chengjin took advantage of the darkness and came to Su Zhizhi's house. As soon as he entered the house, Xie Chengjin saw Su Peizhi sitting at the table drinking tea. He was only wearing an inner garment and had a beautiful figure, but his face was still masculine. The combination of the two gave a strong sense of disconnection, but Xie Chengjin seemed to have gotten used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Su Zhizhi saw Xie Chengjin coming and said with a smile, "Why did you decide to come see me tonight?"

"Isn't it because of Peizhi? You stopped him again today?" Xie Chengjin felt a headache whenever Su Peizhi was mentioned.

"Did this brat really come to find you?" Su Zhizhi poured a cup of tea for Xie Chengjin and placed it in front of him.

Xie Chengjin took a sip and continued, "Of course he came to see me. He's quite dissatisfied with you, asking me to discipline my subordinates. I think his temper is getting worse."

"I also think that he should be disciplined properly..." Su Zhizhi was halfway through her words when she found that Xie Chengjin was staring at her, and his eyes became inexplicably deep.

Su Zhizhi looked at Xie Chengjin in confusion, "What are you looking at? Don't tell me, looking at my face, you can still..." As she spoke, she touched her face.

At this moment, Su Zhizhi seemed to have realized something, and without even finishing her words, she ran to the mirror. Sure enough, the effect of the disguise pill had worn off, and she had regained her appearance as Su Zhizhi.

And Xie Chengjin didn't know when he came close to her. His hands unconsciously rested on Su Zhizhi's waist, and his head was buried in Su Zhizhi's neck.

Su Zhizhi only felt that the skin on her neck began to tremble and itch unconsciously because of Xie Chengjin's breathing, and she also had no strength in her body.

Realizing that something was wrong with her, Su Zhizhi couldn't help but despise herself in her heart. Originally, she wanted to discuss overturning the verdict with Xie Chengjin when he came, but the discussion failed and the two of them were about to get together.
