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

Su Zhizhi found a random place on the second floor of the teahouse and sat down. Looking at the snacks and tea on the table, a faint smile appeared on her face.

She leaned against the fence on the second floor, watching the people coming and going below, but she had no idea that at the corner of the street, a few strange people were looking at her.

After resting for a while, Su Zhizhi wanted to get up and leave. When they saw her disappear from the railing, the people who were following her quickly came towards the teahouse.

Just when Su Zhizhi just walked out of the teahouse, several people rushed up from the side and pushed the people around Su Zhizhi away in the blink of an eye.

Before Su Zhizhi could react, she was surrounded by a group of strangers.

Su Zhizhi suddenly felt something was wrong. Just when she wanted to escape and shout, a pair of hands appeared behind her and shackled Su Zhizhi to the spot. She couldn't move at all. Even her mouth was covered, and she couldn't make any sound. Su Zhizhi's heart was suddenly in a panic.

When the few people following Su Zhizhi saw this, they reacted quickly and wanted to step forward to push these people away.

"What are you going to do? Let our lady go quickly!" As they said that, several guards and maids tried to approach Su Zhizhi.

But the next second, a dagger slipped out of the sleeves of several people, and the dagger was pointed at everyone, making people dare not move forward at all.

Su Zhizhi also shook her head desperately at them, as if telling them not to be impulsive.

The few of them had no choice but to stay where they were, not retreating, but just looking at Su Zhizhi stubbornly.

Su Zhizhi had long passed the panic stage and looked at the people in front of her very calmly. Seeing this, even if several people were unwilling, they had to retreat.

The people who kidnapped Su Zhizhi didn't want to make things worse. Seeing that the guards were no longer pestering them, they quickly evacuated with Su Zhizhi.

But in fact, it would be a lie for Su Zhizhi to say that she was not afraid, because she was not only surrounded by these guards and maids who followed her on the surface.

Xie Chengjin was worried that Su Zhizhi would be targeted, so he deployed secret guards to protect Su Zhizhi in secret to prevent any accidents. However, he did not expect that Xie Chengjin's foresight would come in handy at this time.

The maids and guards were very anxious when they saw Su Zhizhi being taken away. After a brief discussion, they split into two groups. The guards followed to investigate Su Zhizhi's whereabouts, while the maids chose to return to the mansion to inform Xie Chengjin of the matter.

When Xie Chengjin was handling affairs in the mansion, he realized that something was wrong in his heart. Until the maid who had always been with Su Zhizhi came back, Xie Chengjin's uneasiness reached its peak.

"Why are you back? Where is your wife?" Xie Chengjin sternly questioned the people who were trembling in front of him, and his clenched hands began to tremble slightly.

"My lord, the lady... the lady was kidnapped..." The maidservant cried and told Xie Chengjin everything that happened outside the teahouse.

Xie Chengjin was completely panicked. "What did you say? Zhizhi was taken away?"

"That's right. It's just that those people were blindfolded with black cloth, so we couldn't see anything clearly. But the guards had already caught up with them, so we hurried back to report to the master." The maid forced herself to calm down. Although she was still sobbing, she had finally calmed down.

Xie Chengjin suddenly felt a headache, "I understand, you all go down."

Xie Chengjin began to think over and over again, who could have done this to Su Zhizhi? Looking across the entire capital, apart from the Seventh Prince who had long been beheaded, Xie Chengjin couldn't think of anyone else who could have done this to Su Zhizhi.

It is unlikely that the old emperor would do so. After all, it was Su Zhizhi who saved the old emperor's life this time. If he still wants to attack Su Zhizhi, it is hard to explain.

Just as Xie Chengjin was thinking, he suddenly thought of someone, or to be exact, two people, Xu Wanqing and the former queen.

Xie Chengjin immediately felt extremely regretful. He had been worried about the Seventh Prince's affairs for some time, and for a moment he had forgotten about Xu Wanqing and the former queen.

Moreover, some time ago, there was unrest in the capital, and Xu Wanqing disappeared without a trace. But now Xu Wanqing took action and actually kidnapped Su Zhizhi.

Xie Chengjin couldn't imagine how much torture Su Zhizhi would have to endure if she really fell into Xu Wanqing's hands.

After figuring out who had done it, Xie Chengjin didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately took his men to chase after him.

However, the people who kidnapped Su Zhizhi were almost all the most elite group under Xu Wanqing. They soon realized that someone was following them and easily shook off the group of people.

The guards gradually lost their sense of direction and stayed where they were, at a loss. They had no choice but to send a letter to Xie Chengjin to explain what had happened.

Xie Chengjin became more and more anxious. Without caring about anything else, he immediately sent more people to disperse and intercept Xu Wanqing and her group.

Originally, Xie Chengjin had not intended to kill Xu Wanqing, but Xu Wanqing's actions this time completely crossed Xie Chengjin's bottom line, and she actually attacked Su Zhizhi.

Xie Chengjin has already made up his mind that if he can catch Xu Wanqing this time, Xie Chengjin will definitely not let Xu Wanqing escape again.

The secret guards who had been secretly protecting Su Zhizhi saw that Su Zhizhi was about to be abducted out of the city, and without caring whether this was the best time to take action, they jumped out to save Su Zhizhi.

However, there were only three secret guards, and they were no match for Xu Wanqing and her group with their small numbers. The two groups quickly fought each other, but in the end, two of the three secret guards died, and one was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread.

Su Zhizhi couldn't move at all and could only watch it all happen.

When her eyes fell on the two corpses, Su Zhizhi couldn't help but shed tears.

"Enough! Stop it!" Su Zhizhi roared loudly.

But those people didn't listen to Su Zhizhi at all and wanted to attack the only survivor.

It was only when Xu Wanqing raised her hand that those people stopped what they were doing and looked at her.

However, Xu Wanqing came to Su Zhizhi, stretched out her hand, and lifted her chin. Seeing Su Zhizhi's tearful eyes, Xu Wanqing taunted her, "Mrs. Xie's tearful appearance is truly pitiful."

"It's you!?" Su Zhizhi also recognized Xu Wanqing's voice at this moment, even though Xu Wanqing's face was covered and her appearance could not be seen clearly.
