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

It's just a vase after all, not a valuable thing, so just break it. But looking at Shen Congjiang like this, Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin couldn't help laughing. They didn't know who Shen Congjiang inherited this clumsy character from.

Meng's mother also noticed Shen Congjiang. Looking at Shen Congjiang's expression, Meng's mother was a little worried, but she said nothing.

Shen Wenjun didn't expect that bringing Shen Congjiang here would cause such trouble, so she simply didn't stay any longer. After apologizing to Su Zhizhi, she left Xie's house with Shen Congjiang in embarrassment.

After Shen Wenjun and his son left, Meng's mother came to Su Zhizhi and asked worriedly, "Was that Jiang'er just now?"

Su Zhizhi didn't understand why Mother Meng asked this, but she nodded in confusion. "Yes, Mother, I almost forgot. You seem to have never met Jiang'er. He is the child of Shen Wenjun and Princess Changle. He is older than Jiaojiao, and the two children usually have a good relationship."

Mother Meng nodded in understanding. "But it seems to me that this child's head is a little..."

Mother Meng's words were very tactful. Su Zhizhi was stunned. She didn't know why Mother Meng said that. "Mother, what are you talking about? What happened to Jiang'er?"

Seeing Su Zhizhi's confusion, Mother Meng hesitated for a moment before finally expressing her concerns. "This child seems a little dull when she talks and walks. Is there something wrong with her brain?"

Su Zhizhi was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Mother, you're overthinking it. Shen Congjiang is a smart child. But he's been like this today. I think it's because of Jiaojiao's incident. He must have been scolded by his parents at home. He's not like this normally. Don't worry."

"Are you serious?" Meng's mother was still a little skeptical.

Su Zhizhi quickly confirmed, "Of course it's true. I'll take you to see him tomorrow and you'll know."

Mother Meng's doubts were somewhat dispelled, but she still felt a little dissatisfied with Shen Congjiang when she thought of Jiaojiao. "Zhizhi, although Shen Congjiang is Princess Changle's child, I still feel that Shen Congjiang is closely related to Jiaojiao's situation. If he hadn't taken Jiaojiao to the water, how could my Jiaojiao have suffered so much?"

Su Zhizhi knew that Meng's mother was distressed about Jiaojiao, so she patiently counseled her, "Mom, I know Jiaojiao is the apple of your eye, but this was an accident. If Shen Congjiang is to blame, then wouldn't A-Jin and I, as parents, be guilty of an unforgivable crime?"

Meng's mother didn't say anything, but just kept biting her lips.

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi sighed, "Mother, this is ultimately a matter between two children. In the end, it all depends on Jiaojiao's attitude towards Shen Congjiang, doesn't it?"

Su Zhizhi had already said this, so Mother Meng didn't know what to say. However, when she mentioned Jiaojiao, Su Zhizhi said to Mother Meng, "When Jin and I came here just now, Jiaojiao was still asleep. I don't know if she's awake yet. Mother, come with me back to see Jiaojiao."

Mother Meng nodded and walked with Su Zhizhi to Su Zhizhi's yard. Xie Chengjin knew that he could not help much, so he simply said goodbye to Su Zhizhi and went to the study to handle official business.

When they arrived at the yard, the servant saw Su Zhizhi coming back and hurried up to report that Jiaojiao had been awake for a long time.

Meng Mu and Su Zhizhi looked at each other, turned around and went to Jiaojiao's room.

Jiaojiao had been awake for a long time. When she woke up and didn't see Su Zhizhi, she was upset for a while, but she soon felt better.

But when she saw Su Zhizhi coming in, Jiaojiao couldn't help but act a little proud. She lay on the bed, glanced at Su Zhizhi, then turned around in a huff, with her back to Su Zhizhi.

Seeing Jiaojiao's little action, Su Zhizhi didn't get angry. She just smiled helplessly, then walked over and sat next to Jiaojiao. She said with a smile, "Let me see who this stingy person on the bed is. It turns out to be A Niang's Jiaojiao. Why is Jiaojiao so angry?"

Jiaojiao felt a little embarrassed by Su Zhizhi's words. The next second, she turned around, puffed up her cheeks, and said angrily, "Jiaojiao has been awake for a long time, but my mother still hasn't come to see me. Jiaojiao thought my mother didn't want me anymore."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhizhi quickly pulled Jiaojiao into her arms. "Jiaojiao is my precious child. How could I possibly want to give her up? It's just that your Uncle Shen brought your brother Xiao Jiang here just now, saying they wanted to apologize to you. That's why I'm not in the yard. Look, I'm back now, aren't I?"

Jiaojiao keenly grasped the key point in Su Zhizhi's words, "Brother Xiaojiang is here? Then where is he now?" When Shen Congjiang was mentioned, Jiaojiao's eyes lit up.

Seeing Jiaojiao like this, Su Zhizhi looked at Meng's mother helplessly, as if Meng's mother's previous worries were all in vain. However, if Xie Chengjin saw Jiaojiao's reaction, Xie Chengjin would probably dislike Shen Congjiang even more.

Su Zhizhi turned around and looked at Jiaojiao seriously. "Jiang'er has been taken back by your Uncle Shen. But Jiaojiao, tell your mother the truth. How did you fall into the pond at the Princess's Mansion?"

Jiaojiao didn't understand why Su Zhizhi asked this. She was silent for a moment, as if she was struggling with something and didn't speak for a long time.

Su Zhizhi knew Jiaojiao's concerns and quickly assured her, "Jiaojiao, don't worry. Mother will never blame you. Just tell me if there's anything wrong. Could it be that brat Shen Congjiang...?"

Seeing that Su Zhizhi suspected that Shen Congjiang pushed her, Jiaojiao suddenly became anxious, "Mother, no, it wasn't Brother Xiaojiang who pushed me. I fell down by myself. Don't blame Brother Xiaojiang."

Su Zhizhi understood and glanced at Meng Mu, then continued to ask, "Does Jiaojiao like Brother Xiaojiang?"

Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly, "I like it, Mother. I like Brother Xiaojiang. This is only Jiaojiao's fault. It has nothing to do with Brother Xiaojiang. Mother, please don't take your anger out on Brother Xiaojiang, okay?"

Jiaojiao had said this much, so Su Zhizhi naturally couldn't say anything bad about Shen Congjiang anymore.

After watching Jiaojiao drink the medicine, Su Zhizhi and Meng's mother left Jiaojiao's room and came to the courtyard. Su Zhizhi looked at Meng's mother helplessly, "Mother, you just heard it too. Jiaojiao and Shen Congjiang can be said to be childhood sweethearts. My relationship with Princess Changle is also quite good. What happens to the two children in the future depends entirely on how they develop with each other."
