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

"Thank you Aunt Jiang for the compliment." Su Zhizhi answered obediently.

Seeing Su Zhizhi like this, Jiang Yiqing felt extremely satisfied and fond of her.

After entering the house, Jiang Yiqing waved his hand and said, "All of you servants, please leave. I want to have a good chat with my elder sister. Remember, don't let anyone interrupt our chat."

"As you command, ma'am."

After Jiang Yiqing cleared everyone around, she tearfully took Meng's hand and said, "Sister, how have you been these past few years? Back then, when the incident happened so suddenly and the Su family was exiled, I didn't even have time to see you. We two sisters haven't seen each other for decades. You really made me worry all these years."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Meng smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Back then, the incident happened suddenly. My husband was beheaded on the spot as a public display. Such a sudden disaster, I was not prepared, and my whole family was exiled to the frontier."

"It was common to go to the frontier and sleep in the open without enough to eat. Fortunately, Zhizhi was smart and started a small business, so life gradually got better. You know what happened next. We finally found evidence to redress his wrongdoing."

When Meng talked about this, tears kept welling up in her eyes. Only she knew how painful the suffering she had endured over the years was.

Su Zhizhi, who was standing by, couldn't help but tear up when she heard Meng talk about the hardships she had experienced over the years.

After crying out her sorrow and tragic experience, Meng pulled Jiang Yiqing aside and asked, "What about you? How have you been these past few years? Are you okay?"

When Jiang Yiqing heard what Meng said, she immediately revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. "Well, to be honest, sister, our Jiang family has been on the decline over the years. We are no longer as good as before. Since the decline of the Jiang family, my damned husband simply stopped pretending and revealed his true face."

"Not only did he not study hard to gain fame and fortune, he also used my dowry to indulge in extravagant feasts every day. Not only that, he also picked up bad customs and owed a lot of debts to others. When he got drunk and angry, he beat me violently. I was often beaten black and blue by him. My life in the mansion was getting worse and worse, and my status was becoming more and more humble."

Jiang Yiqing answered Meng truthfully.

When Mrs. Meng heard this, she immediately shed tears of heartache. She really didn't expect that Jiang Yiqing had such a hard time during her absence.

"Okay, sister finally came here, let's not say these bad words, let's talk about something happy."

Jiang Yiqing saw that Meng's face was full of heartache, so he quickly changed the subject.

Meng couldn't bear to ruin this hard-won opportunity to meet, so she nodded quickly.

In this way, the two chatted for a long time, until it was dark, and Meng reluctantly left the mansion.

main entrance.

Jiang Yiqing looked at Meng with a reluctant look on her face and said, "Sister, please come again next time."

"Okay, I will definitely come to see you again, don't worry." Meng quickly took Jiang Yiqing's hand and said.

The two of them left reluctantly.

On the carriage.

Meng recalled how beautiful and bright Jiang Yiqing was in the past, and felt very sorry to see her being tortured to this point.

After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but plead with Su Zhizhi beside her, "Zhizhi, I want to ask you for a favor. Can you help Aunt Jiang get out of this dire situation?"

Su Zhizhi, who was standing by, was slightly stunned when she heard the voice. It was impossible for her to make people divorce by herself. She had to ask Xie Chengjin for help to have some hope.

So Su Zhizhi answered truthfully, "Mother, this matter is temporarily beyond my personal ability. I need to discuss it with Xie Chengjin and ask him to help me."

After hearing this, Mrs. Meng nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll thank you on behalf of your Aunt Jiang."

"It's okay. There's no need to be so polite between us mother and daughter." Su Zhizhi said quickly.

night.

Xie Chengjin came back after a busy day outside. Seeing him, Su Zhizhi hurried forward and told him what happened today.

Xie Chengjin thought for a moment after hearing this, and finally replied, "Okay, I'll send a few people to follow you, and you go to the Liu Mansion and put a good fight on them."

Seeing Xie Chengjin agree, Su Zhizhi also showed an excited smile and quickly agreed, "Okay."

The next day.

Su Zhizhi got up early and brought Xie Chengjin's men to the gate of Liu's mansion.

As soon as Su Zhizhi reached the gate of Liu's house, she was stopped by the guard at the gate. "Stop, what are you doing?"

Su Zhizhi was not afraid when she heard the voice and said, "You don't need to know what I do. You just need to call your parents out to me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the guard looked Su Zhizhi up and down with disdain. Seeing that Su Zhizhi was a woman and brought a few guards with her, he thought that she was not an important person.

So the guard said without hesitation, "Get out of here, you ignorant woman! Don't you know your status? Get out of here right now! Can you see our master whenever you want?"

"What do you mean?" Su Zhizhi's face suddenly turned gloomy when she heard the guard's words.

"What do I mean? You want to stay at our door and not leave, right? Then I have to teach you a lesson." The guard looked at Su Zhizhi and said bluntly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the men Su Zhizhi brought with him immediately took defensive postures. Before they could react, the Liu family's guard brought out a basin of dirty water from somewhere and poured it on Su Zhizhi and the others without hesitation.

By the time Su Zhizhi reacted, she was soaked from head to toe in the dirty water. Just as she was standing on the street with her mind blank and extremely embarrassed, Shen Wenjun arrived.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Su Zhizhi's expression, Shen Wenjun scolded the security guards without hesitation.

Shen Wenjun had just come from the morning court, still in his official uniform. His dignity and presence immediately intimidated the guards at the gate of the Liu residence. Seeing this, the guards didn't dare to act rashly. But after a moment's reflection, perhaps feeling they were being polite, they quickly explained to Shen Wenjun, "Sir, this young woman at the gate is bringing people with her and insists on seeing our master. They're trying to break into our residence, so as guards, it's understandable for us to stop them and not let them in."

Shen Wenjun turned and looked at Su Zhizhi. He knew Su Zhizhi's character well. She wouldn't go to someone's house to ask for someone's help for no reason. So he asked, "What's going on?"

Su Zhizhi quickly explained the whole story to Shen Wenjun.

After hearing this, Shen Wenjun frowned tightly, then looked at the guard and said, "Call your master out."

Seeing that Shen Wenjun's tone was very firm and it seemed that he would not give up until he saw his master, the guard did not dare to make any excuses this time and went into the mansion in shame to inform his master.
