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

Unfortunately, Su Zhizhi was not the original owner. She was just a soul from another world. However, in order to prevent others from noticing the clues, she pretended to be surprised, but it looked a little awkward.

The taste of mung bean cake is really good, it is delicate and dense, melts in the mouth, firm but not loose, and it exudes the original fragrance of mung beans when you eat it, which is very good.

"How is it? I specifically asked, and it is indeed the same pastry shop from a few years ago. Although the location has changed, the master pastry chef is still the same one."

"I went there at a good time. I heard that the master chef will be retiring in a month."

Su Zhizhi nodded repeatedly to show her approval of the taste of the mung bean cake.

It is worth mentioning that after eating the mung bean cake, the organizer suddenly felt that his control over this body became more subtle.

There was originally a slight barrier, as if someone was blocking her, but now, the last trace of attachment left by the original body has completely dissipated.

Little did they know that Xie Chengjin had already noticed something. He suspected that Su Zhizhi was from another world, but he did not ask her on the spot. Instead, he waited for Su Zhizhi to confess to him.

That night, Su Zhizhi drank a little wine to liven up the atmosphere.

Even under the influence of alcohol, he still couldn't keep the secret and told Xie Chengjin everything about his origins. Xie Chengjin had expected this and was not surprised at all.

"I've known for a long time that you've been hiding something from me, but don't worry, this is known only to heaven and earth, you and I, and definitely not to a third person. And I don't care about it. What I like is you, not a shell."

The mood was right, and the two of them hugged each other.

Su Zhizhi has never been able to drink much, and after making love, she couldn't fall asleep, so she had to get up and take a walk in the yard.

I don't know how he ended up at Meng's place, so naturally he couldn't help but act crazy in front of him. However, he was very tolerant of his own daughter Meng, and smiled and played along with her.

I waited until Su Zhizhi was a little tired before sending her back to rest.

The next day, he specially handed the two of them over to his side.

"When you two are fooling around, please pay attention to your health. I've been through this before, and I need to take more supplements. Chengjin, Zhizhi has always been a bit eccentric. If she does anything out of line, please be more tolerant of her."

"Yes, mother, don't worry, I will take good care of her."

Xie Chengjin agreed on the spot without changing his expression, but Su Zhizhi was extremely shy.

She didn't expect that her drunken behavior would be brought to the attention of Meng's mother, who would notice it and point out the matter in public.

This caused Su Zhizhi to be too shy to see anyone, and she hid in her boudoir for the entire morning without coming out.

Su Zhizhi left the Meng family only after they sent someone to say that there was something wrong with the account book and asked them to recheck it at any time.

"Mom, how could there be a problem with the account books? Although I don't check these tents every day, I personally check them every month. Logically, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"You're too young to be fooled by others. Sometimes you shouldn't trust your eyes too much. Come, let me teach you what's wrong."

Meng pointed out several obvious anomalies in the account book, and gradually Su Zhizhi also noticed the differences.

There is nothing wrong on the surface in the account book, but if you check carefully, you will find that the daily purchases and sales do not match. The person who is causing trouble knows very well that you cannot make too many false accounts.

It only happens occasionally, but the total amount is definitely not a small amount.

After receiving Meng's advice, Su Zhizhi finally understood that things were not as simple as she had thought.

"How dare they covet so much money without my knowledge? I've never treated them unfairly."

Su Zhizhi was furious. She treated people with sincerity, but she didn't expect the other party to be so greedy. He took so many benefits and was not satisfied at all.

Meng was not surprised by this, as that was human nature.

"That's okay. Doing business isn't as easy as you think. It requires not only ideas but also the ability to manage people. This time, I've chosen a few people to make an example of them. You'll definitely have a lot less trouble around you in the future."

Su Zhizhi said nothing more and went straight to the corrupt shopkeeper with the account book.

The other party was very surprised by her arrival, but when Su Zhizhi threw the account book directly at the shopkeeper's face, the shopkeeper realized that the matter had been exposed.

"Madam, please listen to my explanation. I have my own difficulties. First of all, I have a large group of people to support..."

Su Zhizhi did not give the other party a chance to continue speaking.

"I don't want to hear your explanation right now. I've never treated you unfairly, but you've deeply disappointed me. Now, pay the balance of the account immediately, pack up your things and leave."

"I will not tolerate someone with a bad record staying here to help me."

The shopkeeper was filled with bitterness, but he didn't dare to say much, because the fault lay with him.

If there were other negligence, he might be able to stay by pleading for mercy, but this kind of behavior of cooking the books behind the back cannot be tolerated no matter where it happens.

"Yes."

The old ones are still the wisest. This wave of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys has indeed had a very good effect. The same thing will definitely not happen again in a short period of time.

They can get generous rewards from Su Zhizhi, but they may not be able to get the same amount of money elsewhere.

The power under Xie Chengjin is growing stronger and stronger, and the Fifth Prince has become concerned about him. Sometimes being too capable will make the people above him uneasy.

However, he did not mention this matter in front of Xie Chengjin, but pretended to mention it casually in front of Shen Wenjun. Shen Wenjun would definitely pass this matter on to Xie Chengjin.

"Xie brother, in your opinion, what arrangements can we make to dispel the Fifth Prince's concerns?"

The relationship between the two people is extraordinary, so there is naturally no need for so many twists and turns in their conversation.

"It's okay, don't worry. I will resolve this matter as soon as possible and will definitely not leave any trouble for Brother Xie. I will also give an explanation to the Fifth Prince."

"Then I'm relieved. You must take it to heart and don't be careless."

After seeing Shen Wenjun off, Xie Chengjin immediately took action. He first gathered his business and moved some of the open business into the dark.

This way he wouldn't attract the other party's attention in the future. In addition, he packed up one-third of his income and sent it to the Fifth Prince's mansion.

Such a large amount of silver would be of great use even to the Fifth Prince. Although he refused, he acted quickly and kept the silver.

"Xie Qing really surprised me. He gave me so many surprises."

"It is my duty to serve the Fifth Prince. There is no use for me to keep so much silver."

For Xie Chengjin, it is still very worthwhile to spend some money to protect his life.

Xie Chengjin didn't have any extra thoughts about this. He knew very well from the beginning that he had to be cautious when dealing with people from the royal family.

If you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss and be smashed to pieces.
