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

When Xie Chengjin was mentioned, Xu Miao's mind immediately came to Su Zhizhi.

Shen Wenjun was stunned for a moment, his expression frozen for a moment, then softened. He explained, "I have something to discuss with Her Royal Highness, the Princess, so I haven't visited the Xie Residence yet. I will visit after leaving the Princess Residence. Your Highness, don't worry. Xie Chengjin should be protecting Zhizhi... Madam Xie very well."

Noticing the change in Shen Wenjun's address, Xu Miao was also confused. He didn't know why Shen Wenjun changed the way he addressed Su Zhizhi.

Thinking of this, Xu Miao didn't keep everything to himself and simply asked, "Is there any misunderstanding between Lord Shen and Zhizhi?"

"Why do you say that, Your Highness?" Shen Wenjun was also confused by Xu Miao's words and looked at Xu Miao in confusion.

"You just called me Zhizhi..." Xu Miao felt even more embarrassed when he realized that he seemed to have misunderstood.

Shen Wenjun finally reacted, and after a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke out, "Your Highness has misunderstood. During this time in prison, I have been thinking about this matter. I was a little rude to Your Highness before, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that I have already fallen in love with Your Highness. If Your Highness is willing, I would like to ask Your Majesty to marry you. I hope Your Highness will grant me this."

Shen Wenjun simply told Xu Miao everything she was thinking. Afterwards, she no longer dared to look Xu Miao in the eye, but just kept wandering around feeling nervous and guilty.

Xu Miao was completely stunned by Shen Wenjun's words. She never thought that Shen Wenjun would come to express his feelings to her. She had even given up hope between her and Shen Wenjun before, but now Shen Wenjun's words made Xu Miao a little unbelievable.

"What... did you say?" Xu Miao subconsciously wanted to confirm, and his voice was trembling unconcealably.

Seeing this, Shen Wenjun closed her eyes tightly, then opened them again as if accepting her fate, her eyes full of determination. She looked up and met Xu Miao's gaze, a hint of emotion gradually emerging in her eyes.

"Your Highness, I, Shen Wenjun, am attracted to you and hope to marry you. Please grant my wish!" Shen Wenjun said every word clearly.

Every word of this sentence seemed to hit Xu Miao hard, making her feel that the world was even a little unreal.

It took Xu Miao a long time to come back to her senses. She looked at Shen Wenjun seriously and said word by word, "Shen Wenjun, do you know what you are saying now? Do you really mean what you just said? This princess only gives you this one chance. You still have room to regret it now."

Shen Wenjun said without hesitation, "I have no regrets. Your Highness, have you thought it through?"

Seeing Shen Wenjun say this, Xu Miao took a deep breath, then stood up and helped Shen Wenjun up. "Since Lord Shen has said so, then this princess has nothing to regret. This princess has made her feelings for you clear from the beginning. You can get up first."

Shen Wenjun didn't expect that the matter would be resolved so easily, so when he got the imperial decree of marriage, he felt dizzy. It was not until he lowered his head and saw the bright yellow that he felt a sense of reality.

He subconsciously looked to the side and met Xu Miao's gaze. At this moment, he could no longer suppress his feelings for Xu Miao. He boldly picked up Xu Miao and carried him sideways, happily spinning around several times until Xu Miao kept patting him, and then he put him down.

The news that Xu Miao and Shen Wenjun were going to get married soon naturally reached the ears of Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi.

At night, Su Zhizhi nestled in Xie Chengjin's arms and sighed, "Seeing Xu Miao pursue the divine stationery for such a long time, Shen Wenjun finally got it. It's worth all Xu Miao's hard work and energy."

"Yeah, that brat Shen Wenjun is finally getting married. From now on, I don't have to worry about him always thinking about you." Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi really had different ideas.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhizhi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xie Chengjin. She also pinched his waist without any hesitation, "You've been thinking about something indecent all day long. You know I don't have any such thoughts about Shen Wenjun at all."

Seeing that Su Zhizhi was a little embarrassed and angry, Xie Chengjin quickly begged for mercy with a smile, and Su Zhizhi reluctantly let him go.

"I plan to go to the princess's mansion tomorrow. I haven't met Xu Miao since the seventh prince fell." Su Zhizhi discussed with Xie Chengjin.

Xie Chengjin naturally had no objection, but he couldn't accompany Su Zhizhi, so he had to ask someone to protect Su Zhizhi secretly. After all, the Seventh Prince had not been executed yet, and Xie Chengjin was afraid that something unexpected would happen.

The next day, Su Zhizhi woke up early in the morning and couldn't wait to go to the princess's mansion with the things she had prepared.

Seeing Su Zhizhi coming, Xu Miao was also particularly happy. He dragged her to his own bedroom and dismissed the servants. Su Zhizhi then smiled and joked, "Our Princess Changle is also very successful in love now. Look at her different expression. It's obvious that good things are about to happen."

Xu Miao felt a little embarrassed by what Su Zhizhi said. He lowered his head and smiled shyly, then said hesitantly, "Zhizhi, please stop laughing at me..."

Thinking of what happened yesterday, Xu Miao couldn't help but share with Su Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, you don't know, when he came yesterday..."

Xu Miao told Su Zhizhi what happened yesterday. He looked like a young girl who had just fallen in love, excited and shy.

After hearing this, Su Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh, "After all this time, Shen Wenjun has finally come to his senses. Now that all that mess is over, you two will have good things coming soon. You must live a happy and fulfilling life in the future. If Shen Wenjun treats you badly in the future, just tell me. I may not dare to take action against Shen Wenjun, but Xie Chengjin will definitely help you deal with him!"

Xu Miao smiled and nodded. The two of them laughed and played for most of the day before reluctantly parting ways.

After returning to Xie Mansion, Su Zhizhi felt even more emotional when recalling what she had said to Xu Miao at the Princess Mansion. But no matter what, Xu Miao had found his own happiness, and Su Zhizhi sincerely hoped that Xu Miao could live a comfortable and happy life.

Soon it was time for the seventh prince to be executed. The emperor hated the seventh prince to the core and naturally did not want to give him any dignity. Even the execution ground was at the entrance of the vegetable market, making it almost impossible for the seventh prince to be beaten by everyone.
