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

Xie Chengjin looked at the frightened Su Zhizhi in front of him and said jokingly, "Weren't you so brave before? Why are you so scared now?"

Su Zhizhi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Get rid of it. In the palace, if we say something wrong, neither of us will survive. But no matter what, the emperor didn't punish me. I think things should be turning around soon."

"But you'd better stay in the mansion for the time being. Your identity cannot be exposed until Dad's affairs are dealt with. Don't forget that there are still the former queen and Xu Wanqing in the capital, and there are many crises." Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi worriedly.

Su Zhizhi nodded, "Of course I know this, you don't have to worry."

In the imperial study, the emperor fell into deep thought. Su Mingcheng's matter was not difficult to handle, but the reason why the emperor suppressed it until now was simply because he couldn't stand Su Mingcheng. However, the emperor did not expect that Su Zhizhi, as Su Mingcheng's daughter, was much braver than her father.

For Su Zhizhi's sake, the emperor considered it over and over again and finally sent someone to convey the decree.

The next day, Su Zhizhi heard in her mansion the emperor's edict declaring Su Mingcheng not guilty. She was filled with joy and hurried to find Meng's mother.

This imperial decree was issued throughout the country, and even the rest of the Su family members who were far away in a small village in the county knew about it.

Su Mingcheng is innocent, so the Su family members who were exiled are naturally innocent as well. The moment they receive the imperial edict, they can return to the capital on their own without any restrictions.

Su Zhizhi finally no longer had to hide her identity or continue to fake her death. Instead, after several months, she resumed her identity as Su Zhizhi.

Shen Wenjun was also very well-informed. She soon learned that Su Zhizhi had not died of illness and immediately burst into tears of joy.

After being excited for a while, Shen Wenjun suddenly reacted, quickly packed up, and headed towards Xie's house.

In Xie Chengjin's residence, Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi were talking to Meng's mother. Now that Su Mingcheng had overturned the verdict, Meng's mother seemed to be in much better spirits. Even the doctor said that it was due to anger.

When Su Zhizhi received the news that Shen Wenjun was coming, she was also a little surprised, and Xie Chengjin's face suddenly became gloomy. However, Meng's mother didn't know who Shen Wenjun was, and just looked at him curiously.

Xie Chengjin said to Su Zhizhi, "Shen Wenjun must have come here to see you. Why don't you go and take a look?"

Su Zhizhi looked at Meng Mu hesitantly. Seeing this, Xie Chengjin continued, "Don't worry about Mother. I'll take care of her. Just go and take a look. If I don't see you this time, I'm afraid Shen Wenjun will just stay in the Xie Mansion and refuse to leave."

Xie Chengjin's tone was a little unhappy, so Su Zhizhi felt helpless. "Then I'll trouble you here, Auntie. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Su Zhizhi stood up and left, but just as Su Zhizhi left, Meng's mother also stood up.

Xie Chengjin asked doubtfully, "Mother, where are you going?"

Mother Meng smiled meaningfully and said, "I've never heard of Shen Wenjun. She seems to have a good relationship with Zhizhi. I'm thinking of going to see her."

This is what it means to join in the fun. Xie Chengjin was a little helpless, but he really didn't want Su Zhizhi and Shen Wenjun to be alone together, so he simply went to take a look under the pretext of Meng Mu.

In the Xie Mansion Garden, Shen Wenjun saw Su Zhizhi's figure from afar. At just one glance, Shen Wenjun couldn't help but shed tears.

"Zhizhi, that's great. I knew you would be fine." Shen Wenjun spoke while crying.

Su Zhizhi was a little at a loss. She looked at herself and handed the handkerchief she carried with her to Shen Wenjun, "Stop crying. Wipe yourself quickly. You're already a grown-up, how can you still cry like this?"

"I'm fine. I'm just a little excited to see you're still alive and well. It's nothing serious. But you, what exactly happened back then?" Shen Wenjun calmed himself down and then asked about what happened.

"Before... it's a long story, but it's all in the past, and I don't want to talk about it anymore..."

Not far from the two of them, Xie Chengjin and Meng's mother were hiding behind a tree, watching the two people talking not far away.

Meng Mu was knowledgeable and could tell at a glance that Shen Wenjun had special feelings for Su Zhizhi.

Thinking of this, Meng Mu looked at Xie Chengjin with a smile in her eyes, "Ah Jin, mother sees that this Lord Shen seems to have some special feelings towards Zhizhi."

Xie Chengjin could sense the teasing in Meng's mother's tone, and he felt helpless. "Mother, please stop laughing at me. This is all old news. Zhizhi also knows about this, but there's no other way. This Shen Wenjun... is too stubborn."

Mother Meng smiled and shook her head. "He may be stubborn, but he's been able to hold on until now. Ultimately, it all comes down to him believing he has a chance. Jin, I'm telling you, you should try harder. Be careful not to snatch Zhizhi away."

While Xie Chengjin was chatting and laughing with Meng's mother, he stared hatefully at Shen Wenjun who was not far away.

After seeing Shen Wenjun off, Su Zhizhi turned around and planned to go back to Meng Mu's courtyard, but she met the sight of Meng Mu and Xie Chengjin as soon as she turned a corner.

Su Zhizhi was startled, "Mother? Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay inside the house?"

Mother Meng smiled and took Su Zhizhi's hand. "You know I'm a restless person. I wasn't feeling well before, but now that I'm feeling better, I thought I'd ask Jin to take me out for a walk. Also, as for Peizhi... I miss him a little, so why don't you call him back to meet me someday?"

"Of course. I didn't let Peizhi see you at the beginning because it was for his own good. At that time, my father had not yet overturned the verdict, and I was afraid that this matter would implicate Peizhi. But now that my father is innocent, I also sent people to look for Peizhi. I think Peizhi will be back later." Su Zhizhi smiled and walked back with Meng.

The Su family was innocent, and this series of events were gradually made public. Su Zhizhi finally restored her identity in front of the public. It was also at this time that Su Peizhi realized that Xie Yun and Yun Qing, whom he had been targeting before, were both Su Zhizhi.

Su Peizhi, realizing this, felt like the sky was falling. When he thought of the foul language he had spoken to Su Zhizhi before, he felt so guilty that he even wanted to run away and hide.

However, the people sent by Su Zhizhi had already arrived, so Su Peizhi had no choice but to go back to Xie's house. As soon as he entered the door, he was met with Su Zhizhi's half-smile.

"Ah, sister, I'm back." Su Peizhi's face suddenly turned red and he shouted incoherently.
