In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband
Chapter 311 Acquitted
Shen Wenjun rushed in with his men without thinking. With all the evidence, Shen Wenjun arrested all these people on the spot. They were actually many officials of high status in the court.
These people were originally drunk, but when they saw the yamen runners behind Shen Wenjun, they sobered up instantly.
But now it was too late for them to say anything. They had seen their plan about to succeed, but it was still ruined unexpectedly. After the matter was investigated, Xie Chengjin was immediately acquitted, and the prince even issued a special edict stating that Xie Chengjin was not guilty.
Those officials originally wanted to make a last-ditch effort, but under the severe torture, these pampered officials could not bear it at all, and soon confessed everything one by one.
Among these people, there were many followers of the former prince, some were from the third prince, and some were from the seventh prince, but because they stood on the wrong side, they no longer had any room for advancement.
They were not having a good time, and they could not bear to see Xie Chengjin living better than them. Xie Chengjin was now a favorite of the prince, which was what they had all dreamed of. Adhering to the principle of destroying it if they couldn't get it, these people chose to attack Xie Chengjin.
The truth came to light and the matter came to a temporary end. The subsequent matters were naturally handed over to the prince to deal with. Xie Chengjin was released from prison with injuries and took this opportunity to rest and recuperate at home.
The prince was also aware of the harm Xie Chengjin had suffered in prison during this period. In order to express his apology, the prince specially allowed Xie Chengjin to take a period of vacation and no longer urged Xie Chengjin to go to court.
Xie Chengjin was finally able to stay at home all day and spend time with Su Zhizhi as he wished.
However, this kind of "stickiness" usually ends with Su Zhizhi exhausted. Every time at this time, Xie Chengjin would hug Su Zhizhi unsatisfied, and when Su Zhizhi woke up again, Xie Chengjin would cling to her again.
After a few days, Su Zhizhi finally couldn't stand it anymore and kicked Xie Chengjin off the bed.
"Xie Chengjin! Control yourself a little! My waist is about to break!" Su Zhizhi held her waist with one hand and pointed at Xie Chengjin angrily with the other hand.
Xie Chengjin half-lay on the ground, looking at Su Zhizhi with a face full of grievance, "Zhizhi..."
"Stop!" Su Zhizhi couldn't stand Xie Chengjin's expression the most, but considering her own body, Su Zhizhi still refused Xie Chengjin's approach.
Seeing that his expression was useless, Xie Chengjin simply put away his expression, got up from the ground swiftly, and moved closer to Su Zhizhi.
The two of them pushed and shoved each other, but before Xie Chengjin could say anything, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Su Zhizhi panicked instantly and pushed Xie Chengjin away with force.
Xie Chengjin looked at the seat at the door with some dissatisfaction. He wanted to see which blind person dared to disturb his good thing at this time.
But when he saw the person coming, Xie Chengjin could only let his anger turn into helplessness. It was clearly a small figure, Jiaojiao.
When Su Zhizhi saw that it was Jiaojiao, her face immediately turned red with shame and she glared at Xie Chengjin fiercely. Su Zhizhi then put on her clothes, came to Jiaojiao and held Jiaojiao in her arms.
"Why is Jiaojiao here? Are you missing your mother?" Su Zhizhi teased the little one in her arms.
But Jiaojiao didn't buy it at all. She turned her head away angrily. In Su Zhizhi's opinion, Jiaojiao only became more adorable.
Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi and Jiaojiao like this, calmed down his anger, and then came to Jiaojiao's side, stretched out his hand and poked Jiaojiao's puffy cheek.
"Dad, Mom, don't you like Jiaojiao anymore?" Jiaojiao said, and her eyes suddenly became red.
Seeing Jiaojiao like this, Su Zhizhi felt anxious and said quickly, "How could Father and Mother not like Jiaojiao? What happened?"
"Then why haven't you been with Jiaojiao all this time?" Jiaojiao's words made Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin both shut up. They had indeed neglected Jiaojiao a lot during this period. Thinking of this, both of them couldn't help feeling guilty.
Before Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin could figure out how to coax Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao said first: "I want to go play with Shen Congjiang. Daddy and Mommy, take me with you."
Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes, but faced with their daughter's request, they had no reason to refuse, so they had to pack up and take the little one to the princess's mansion.
It happened that Shen Wenjun and his family of three had just finished lunch. Seeing Su Zhizhi and others coming, Xu Miao and Shen Wenjun were a little surprised. Shen Wenjun had not seen Xie Chengjin since he came out of the prison. It was rumored that Xie Chengjin was seriously injured and could only recuperate in the mansion. However, looking at Shen Wenjun who was talking and laughing in front of him, there was a look of satisfaction between his eyebrows. He did not look like he was seriously injured and dying as the rumors said.
Xu Miao was next to Shen Wenjun, his eyes constantly scanning Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin with ambiguous expressions. Seeing Su Zhizhi becoming more and more embarrassed, Xu Miao smiled and said, "Come and sit down. I didn't know you were coming, and I didn't prepare anything."
Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi sat down next to Xu Miao and Shen Wenjun, and the four of them sat there chatting. As for Jiaojiao, the moment she saw Shen Congjiang, her eyes were instantly glued to him, and she couldn't pull them away.
Shen Congjiang came to Jiaojiao's side, took Jiaojiao's hand, and whispered in her ear: "Sister Jiaojiao, how about I take you to a fun place?"
Shen Congjiang liked Jiaojiao very much from the moment he saw her for the first time. Who wouldn’t like a sweet and soft little sister?
Jiaojiao looked at Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin with some hesitation, but Shen Congjiang was bolder. He directly dragged Jiaojiao out and brought her straight to the edge of the pond.
There are many small koi raised by Xu Miao in the pond, which is why Shen Congjiang brought Jiaojiao here.
"Sister Jiaojiao, look, do you like the little fish here?" Shen Congjiang pointed at the fish in the pond and asked Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao's eyes were attracted by the colorful creatures swimming around, and her body involuntarily moved towards the pond.
By the time Shen Congjiang realized something was wrong, Jiaojiao was already teetering on the edge of the pond.
Shen Congjiang quickly approached and shouted as he ran, "Sister Jiaojiao..."
Jiaojiao subconsciously turned her head to look, but she lost her balance and fell directly into the pond.
