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

Moreover, if the mansion takes any big action, it will only confirm the matter. We can only take it step by step and suppress it gradually.

Xie Chengjin, who was in the restaurant, was so frightened when he heard about this that he broke out in a cold sweat. He did not care about anything else and went back home immediately. He was relieved after confirming that Su Zhizhi was not hurt.

"Fortunately, there was no accident, otherwise I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."

Xie Chengjin held Su Zhizhi in his arms and kept comforting her.

That night he invited Doctor An again. Due to this incident, the fetus in Su Zhizhi's belly was unstable, so she had to stay in the mansion to take care of the baby for the rest of her life.

"Thank you, sir. Although there is no problem this time, you must not make any major moves afterwards. Otherwise, there will be signs of miscarriage. I suggest you take good care of my wife."

"Thank you, Doctor An. I will definitely take your words to heart."

Xie Chengjin personally sent Doctor An away. Su Zhizhi had nightmares all night and woke up from time to time. Fortunately, Xie Chengjin was always by her side, so she fell into a deep sleep in the second half of the night.

The rumors outside are spreading more and more widely. I wonder if there are some people fanning the flames behind the scenes. After all, Xie Chengjin has offended many people in the court on a daily basis.

The other party would definitely not mind taking this opportunity to suppress his reputation outside.

"Someone, go check for me and find out where these words came from, but don't make any big moves."

"After investigating thoroughly, send them to the cells to calm down. If they still refuse to repent, bring them before me and I will personally teach them a lesson."

There is a difference between conducting an investigation openly and publicly and conducting an investigation secretly and privately. This is more covert, and although it is slower, it will not cause a greater impact.

Soon the rumors outside were suppressed by Xie Chengjin, and Su Zhizhi became more and more relaxed and regained her previous agility.

Xie Chengjin has never believed what others say. He has always trusted Su Zhizhi immensely. Even if something unexpected really happened, Xie Chengjin would not blame Su Zhizhi.

"From now on, you should rest well in your house. Don't go out alone. If you want to go out for a walk, tell me and I will accompany you."

Xie Chengjin would give serious reminders every day, which made Su Zhizhi feel helpless.

"It's not as hypocritical as you say."

"You have to take this to heart. Doctor An has already said that if something goes wrong again, it will not only affect the fetus in your womb, but will also leave sequelae to your body."

Speaking of this, Xie Chengjin felt a little scared. If he had known this would happen, he should not have let Su Zhizhi go home alone. If he had been with her all the time, the accident would not have happened.

Su Zhizhi of course understood what he was thinking and reached out to hold his big hand to comfort him.

"Don't think too much. I won't blame you. You and I can't predict the future, so how can we possibly avoid this kind of thing in advance?"

Having said that, Xie Chengjin couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

When Xu Miao learned about this, although she was about to give birth, she still took time out to visit Su Zhizhi.

"I was so scared. I couldn't sleep well when I heard that you had an accident. Fortunately, nothing serious happened."

"It's just that the rumors outside are scary. You don't know my abilities yet. They're just a bunch of petty thieves. How could they possibly hurt me? If I weren't pregnant, I could handle them in a single blow."

This was not an exaggeration. The two had not seen each other for a long time and took the opportunity to catch up on the past.

"How is your health? When will you give birth?"

"It should be this month. After all, I've been eating and sleeping well during this period. I'm just waiting for the little one to be born."

Xu Miao touched her belly with a happy face, then seemed to remember something and told the maid to deliver a package to Su Zhizhi.

"I heard that your appetite hasn't been very good recently. Here are some sour snacks from my house. They taste pretty good. You can try them when you feel nauseous. It will make you feel hungry again."

Originally, Su Zhizhi didn't feel like eating much, but when she saw the snacks in the package, she couldn't help but try a few, and then her eyes lit up.

Sour snacks are indeed very suitable for her now.

After my appetite improved, I no longer felt nauseous or vomited when eating staple foods.

While the two were reminiscing about the past, Xie Chengjin also seized the opportunity to find the bandit's lair. Following him were elite soldiers who had been carefully trained and were very powerful.

"Be prepared to take action, and remember to leave no one alive."

"Yes."

Following Xie Chengjin's order, everyone stopped hiding and rushed out directly. The bandits did not expect that someone would come to kill them at this time, so they did not resist at all and were beheaded in a few seconds.

"Who the hell are you? I don't even remember provoking you. Why are you trying to kill me?"

The bandit leader felt that he was wronged, but Xie Chengjin didn't waste time talking to him. He swung the sword in his hand and beheaded the bandit with one blow, cleanly and neatly.

The entire scene was witnessed by the Fifth Prince's confidant who was arranged to keep an eye on Xie Chengjin. Afterwards, he reported the entire matter to his superiors.

The fifth prince couldn't hide his excitement. He originally thought that Xie Chengjin wouldn't have too much power after what happened last time, but now it seems that he underestimated him.

"Wonderful! Xie Chengjin hid his power so well that no one discovered it for such a long time. But soon, this power will belong to this prince."

Xie Chengjin underestimated the Fifth Prince's ambition. He was like a greedy wolf. How could he be satisfied with just one piece of bread?

The next day at court, the people arranged by the fifth prince took advantage of the situation to make trouble and pointed out the power in Xie Chengjin's hands in front of all the ministers.

Xie Chengjin was a little surprised, but he quickly figured out the key point and fought back in an orderly manner. Although it was a bit hasty, it did not cause any trouble for himself.

Of course, it is impossible to escape unscathed. This time, I am afraid I will have to pay something more to satisfy the appetite of the Fifth Prince.

After all these operations, he got a lot of benefits from Xie Chengjin.

Xie Chengjin doesn't want to have any disputes with anyone now, otherwise he is fully capable of keeping what he has.

For him, the most important thing now is to keep his family safe, and everything else can be put on the back burner.

"It seems that I am no longer suitable for the court."

Late at night, Xie Chengjin was alone in his study writing his resignation. Su Zhizhi didn't see him rest for a long time, so she ran into him when she came to look for him.

When she saw the resignation letter in Xie Chengjin's hand, she already understood what Xie Chengjin was thinking.

"The royal family is a heartless and ungrateful people. To them, the throne is the most important thing. I am willing to live in seclusion with you in the mountains. It would be a good thing for you and me to live happily and carefree from now on."

With Su Zhizhi's support, Xie Chengjin suddenly understood and delivered the letter to the Fifth Prince's residence the next day.
