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

Xie Chengjin's hands kept wandering on Su Zhizhi's body, lighting fires everywhere. Su Zhizhi also fell little by little following Xie Chengjin's actions. At the beginning, Su Zhizhi tried to stop Xie Chengjin's actions and stay sober, but in the end, Su Zhizhi could only let Xie Chengjin do some excessive things and could not remember the business at all.

Su Zhizhi and her husband had not slept together for a long time. Although Xie Chengjin always knew that the person next to him was Su Zhizhi, when facing a completely unfamiliar face, Xie Chengjin felt that he had no reaction to the unfamiliar appearance.

The two of them were now completely passionate, and Su Zhizhi hadn't slept all night. In the end, she almost fell asleep and had no strength left in her body.

The next day, Xie Chengjin got up early, feeling refreshed. When he turned around, he saw Su Zhizhi sleeping soundly beside him. A satisfied smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Xie Chengjin reached out his hand and gently stroked the true face of Su Zhizhi, whom he had not seen for a long time. His face was full of heartache, self-blame, and uncontrollable pity.

It was already late outside, so Xie Chengjin reluctantly got up to wash up, as he still had to attend the daily morning court.

In fact, Xie Chengjin was naturally aware of what Su Zhizhi wanted to say the night before. A few days ago, Xie Chengjin had already instructed his men to collect information about Su Mingcheng's original incident. Now Xie Chengjin has compiled a lot of evidence of Su Mingcheng's innocence in his hands, and plans to submit it to the emperor during today's morning court session.

However, before that, Xie Chengjin contacted Su Mingcheng's old friends first. Although they were also more or less affected by Su Mingcheng's affairs, when Xie Chengjin mentioned that he wanted to overturn Su Mingcheng's case, none of them refused and they all agreed to Xie Chengjin's request.

At the morning court session, a large group of people, led by Xie Chengjin, stood up together and wrote a joint letter.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Xie Chengjin spoke first and looked up at the emperor.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, waved his hand, and said, "Thank you, my dear minister, what is the important matter?"

"I wonder if Your Majesty remembers that more than ten years ago, we dealt with a minister named Su Mingcheng?" Xie Chengjin said, his eyes fixed on the expression on the emperor's face.

A trace of confusion flashed across the emperor's face. He had no impression of Su Mingcheng, but when it came to things that happened more than ten years ago, the emperor could still remember some of them.

Especially the surname Su, which was extremely familiar to the emperor. Thinking of Su Zhizhi, who was the daughter of a criminal, the emperor suddenly understood who Su Mingcheng was.

Realizing this, the emperor's face turned cold. "Why bring up something that happened so long ago?" He frowned tightly and looked a little angry.

Xie Chengjin showed no fear. He simply said respectfully, "I dare to say that when Zhao Hui was arrested, the case of the culprit Su Mingcheng was implicated. I felt something was amiss, so I investigated on my own initiative. I discovered that Su Mingcheng was wrongly accused, and the culprit was none other than the deceased culprit Zhao Hui. Although the incident happened a long time ago, and Master Su is no longer with us, other members of the Su family are still alive. I believe that since Master Su was wrongly accused, his spirit in heaven would surely hope to one day clear his name and free his family from being implicated."

After saying this, Xie Chengjin winked at the ministers behind him, and they all shouted, "Your Majesty, please look into this matter."

The emperor's expression grew increasingly grim. With a gloomy face, he said in a deep voice, "Why, are you forcing me?"

Xie Chengjin quickly replied, "I dare not. I only implore Your Majesty to give justice to the wronged minister."

The emperor took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the anger in his heart. If the emperor did not give an explanation after Xie Chengjin said this, it would probably chill the hearts of many ministers.

Under such "pressure", no matter how dissatisfied the emperor was, he had to deal with the matter as soon as possible.

After the morning court session, Xie Chengjin was left alone by the emperor and taken to the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Xie Chengjin presented the evidence he had collected to the emperor. The emperor took it and only glanced through it, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor was not interested in this matter.

However, just as Xie Chengjin handed over the evidence, he was driven out of the imperial study by the emperor. Although Xie Chengjin was a little dissatisfied, he had no choice but to leave the palace first and wait for the emperor's final decision.

In the imperial study, after Xie Chengjin left, the emperor threw the things in his hand aside and stared at the memorials scattered on the ground with an expressionless face. No one knew what the emperor was thinking.

The eunuch outside the door heard the noise from the imperial study and hurried in, "Your Majesty, what happened just now? What did I hear outside..."

Before the eunuch finished speaking, he saw the mess at the emperor's feet. His face suddenly changed and he hurried forward, knelt on the ground and picked them up one by one. After tidying them up, he placed them next to the emperor again.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. But what did Lord Xie say just now?" The eunuch looked at the emperor and asked cautiously.

The emperor didn't want to say anything. After a long time, he just waved his hand casually. The eunuch understood and left. For a moment, the emperor was the only one left in the imperial study.

The emperor then murmured to himself: "Su Mingcheng... so many years have passed, why are you still lingering around..." The emperor still had many dissatisfactions with Su Mingcheng, but no one else knew what the reason was. Perhaps only the dead Su Mingcheng and the emperor himself knew the answer.

The emperor did not intend to deal with this matter, so he did not look at the so-called evidence again, and the matter of seeking justice for Su Mingcheng was left unresolved.

Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi were still waiting for the result. In fact, this matter was not difficult to resolve. If the emperor wanted to deal with it, he would basically be able to get the result the next day.

However, the two of them waited for three days but still did not get any justice. Xie Chengjin went to inquire and found out that the emperor had no intention of dealing with the matter.

After Su Zhizhi heard this, her expression darkened. Meng Mu, standing beside her, also looked unhappy. "Your Majesty, why are you like this? The evidence is clearly stated, but..."

Before Meng Mu could finish her words, Su Zhizhi interrupted her, saying, "Mother, be careful with your words. His Majesty must have his own considerations."
