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

It was the little maidservant who served Meng Mu who stepped forward and said, "Madam, it's cold outside. Let's talk inside."

Mother Meng finally came to her senses, let go of Jiang Yiqing, wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "Look at me, Yiqing must be a little tired after all this journey. Let's go inside and talk."

After saying that, Meng's mother pulled Jiang Yiqing into the house.

The two of them were close together. Jiang Yiqing rested her head on Meng Mu's shoulders and said with emotion, "Sister Meng, after we parted all those years ago, I never thought we could sit together and talk again. We were in a hurry when we met last time, and I didn't treat you well. Now that I think about it, it's my fault."

Mother Meng's face was full of disapproval. "Look at you, what are you saying? We haven't seen each other for so many years, are you really alienated from me?"

Seeing that Mother Meng was a little angry, Jiang Yiqing quickly said, "Sister Meng, don't be angry. I said something wrong. My dear sister, please stop crying..."

Jiang Yiqing looked at the tears on Meng Mu's face and was suddenly at a loss.

Seeing Jiang Yiqing like this, Meng's mother burst out laughing. "Alright, alright, I was just joking with you. Why are you so anxious? Don't bother with anything yet. I've asked someone to prepare food. Look at you. You've lost so much weight and are so frail. How can this be possible?"

Jiang Yiqing heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Meng's mother was really fine.

After the two of them had dinner together, Meng Mu asked, "Now that you have escaped from that den of wolves and tigers, what are your plans for the future?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yiqing's expression gradually became complicated. "To be honest with Sister Meng, I really haven't made up my mind yet. For so many years, I suffered at the hands of that man, and I don't know what I can do. Although I have finally left there as I wished, but..."

As he spoke, Jiang Yiqing couldn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Mother Meng patted Jiang Yiqing on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Since you don't know what to do, why don't you just stay by my side?"

Jiang Yiqing froze for a moment, then waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Sister Meng, how can this be possible? Being able to divorce that scumbag has already caused a lot of trouble for you and Zhizhi. How can I still have the nerve to stay with you?"

"That's fine. Not to mention Zhizhi and her husband, even if it's just me, I can still support you. You may not know, but during my time in the capital, I've saved quite a bit of money. Supporting both of you and me shouldn't be a problem at all. I'd naturally be worried if you went out on your own, so why don't you come with me?"

Hearing Mother Meng say this, Jiang Yiqing was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since Sister Meng said so, then I will shamelessly stay at your place. If there is anything you can do with me, please feel free to ask me."

When Meng's mother saw that Jiang Yiqing accepted her proposal, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

For the next period of time, Meng's mother stayed with Jiang Yiqing. The two old sisters stayed together in the mansion, tending to flowers and plants in their spare time, and they were quite content.

Su Zhizhi, on the other hand, managed too many shops. Although she kept spinning like a top every day, she still felt overwhelmed. She dragged her tired body back home every day and had no free time to visit Meng's mother and Jiang Yiqing.

Jiang Yiqing felt particularly distressed when she saw Su Zhizhi like this. When Su Zhizhi came to visit as usual, Jiang Yiqing said, "Zhizhi has lost a lot of weight recently."

Su Zhizhi forced a smile at Jiang Yiqing and said, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt Jiang. I've really been too busy lately. I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

Jiang Yiqing's heart suddenly moved, "If Zhizhi trusts me, I can help you manage those shops."

Su Zhizhi's eyes lit up instantly. "Aunt Jiang, are you serious? How could I have forgotten about this? Aunt Jiang's family used to be in business. It would be perfect for her to manage these shops. Aunt Jiang, let's make it a deal. I will pay you monthly, and I can relax a lot more."

Jiang Yiqing was originally worried that Su Zhizhi wouldn't agree, but when she heard Su Zhizhi say that, she felt relieved and said with a smile, "Of course. You don't have to give me the monthly salary. I've been living with Sister Meng all this time, and I feel really bad about it."

"Aunt Jiang, you can't say that. You and my mother grew up together as sisters. How can this be compared with all this? Let's just say it's settled. You must accept the monthly salary, otherwise I won't agree." Su Zhizhi pretended to be angry and turned her head to the side.

It was Meng's mother who persuaded with a smile, "Yiqing, just accept it. It's a token of Zhizhi's appreciation."

Seeing that both mother and daughter said this, Jiang Yiqing had no choice but to compromise and looked at Su Zhizhi and Meng's mother helplessly.

After all, Jiang Yiqing is the daughter of a merchant, and she does have some real skills in business. Under Jiang Yiqing's management, Su Zhizhi's shops have become well-organized, much better than when Su Zhizhi did it herself.

Seeing how the shop is running now, Su Zhizhi feels more at ease. During this period of time, she has had a rare period of free time.

Just at this time, Xu Miao came to the door.

Xu Miao was brought to Su Zhizhi's yard, and saw Su Zhizhi lying lazily in the yard like a cat, basking in the sun. Seeing Xu Miao coming in, Su Zhizhi just waved.

Xu Miao looked at Su Zhizhi like this and couldn't help but smile: "I see you are free now. It's rare that you can stay in the yard like this when I come to see you."

"Yeah, I finally got a chance to rest for a while, so I'm too lazy to go out. Once I go out, there will be a lot of things to do." Su Zhizhi said as she turned over casually.

Xu Miao squatted beside Su Zhizhi and reached out to poke her cheek. "Okay, stop being lazy. I heard from your maid that you've been paralyzed in the mansion for two or three days. Come on, go out with me."

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I don't want to go out." When Su Zhizhi heard that she had to go out, she immediately threw a tantrum and rolled on the ground, refusing to move.

Xu Miao was even more helpless. "You should at least move a little. How about this? I'll treat you to tea at a teahouse. The snacks there are quite good. Don't you want to try them?"

Hearing Xu Miao say this, Su Zhizhi suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Xu Miao excitedly, "Your Highness, are you serious?"
