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

Even though Mother Meng was still somewhat reluctant, after hearing what Su Zhizhi said, she had no choice but to nod and stop asking about the affairs between the two children.

Shen Congjiang followed Shen Wenjun back to the princess's mansion in a bad mood. Seeing Xu Miao's scrutinizing eyes, Shen Congjiang lowered his head even lower. Seeing his son like this, Xu Miao understood and looked at Shen Congjiang helplessly, but he couldn't bear to say any words of blame, because Xu Miao had already told Shen Congjiang about Jiaojiao's matter many times.

After Shen Congjiang was taken away by the servants, Xu Miao looked at Shen Wenjun with a worried look on his face. "What did Jiang'er do today? Why are you and your son both so worried?"

Speaking of Shen Congjiang, Shen Wenjun was full of helplessness. She told Xu Miao what happened in Xie Mansion. Especially when she mentioned that Shen Congjiang broke the vase in Xie Mansion, Xu Miao felt a little hopeless.

"It's over. Zhizhi won't really want to interact with us anymore, right..." Xu Miao felt bitter at the thought of this possibility.

Shen Wenjun recalled Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin's attitude towards her today, and quickly comforted her, "Miao'er, don't worry too much. Zhizhi is not unreasonable. Today, I brought Jiang'er to the Xie Mansion. Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin didn't have any complaints. It's just that Xie Chengjin looked at Jiang'er a little unhappy, which I think is understandable."

"Are you serious?" Xu Miao looked at Shen Wenjun with hope, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Of course. When have I ever lied to you?" Shen Wenjun saw Xu Miao's sadness turned into joy, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Shen Congjiang was not discouraged when he didn't see Jiaojiao. He started to go to Xie's house every few days.

So every day when Jiaojiao woke up, she would see Shen Congjiang sitting in front of her, serving her tea and water, and helping her get medicine. He was always hanging around and showing his courtesy to Jiaojiao. It was okay for one or two days, but after a long time, Xie Chengjin was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore. Every time when he heard that Shen Congjiang was coming, he would roll his eyes to the sky.

Su Zhizhi looked at Xie Chengjin like this and was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Seeing that Xie Chengjin was about to rush out and throw Shen Congjiang out, Su Zhizhi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Ah Jin, calm down. Shen Congjiang is just a child after all. Why are you fighting with a child like this?"

Xie Chengjin was full of dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with the child? Our Jiaojiao is only a little old, and Shen Congjiang is already obsessed with her. When she grows up, won't she be lawless?"

After hearing this, Su Zhizhi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but she still tried to persuade Xie Chengjin not to bother with Shen Congjiang.

On the contrary, because Shen Congjiang was in front of Jiaojiao every day, Jiaojiao became much more active in taking medicine and eating, and there was no need for Su Zhizhi to urge her every day, which made Su Zhizhi relax a lot.

Under the care of so many people day after day, Jiaojiao's health gradually recovered and she became the lively Jiaojiao again. Seeing Jiaojiao become so energetic, Su Zhizhi felt much more relieved.

Although Su Peizhi has always been looking after the store, Su Zhizhi still has to take time to check it over every day. Now the store has received some new goods and urgently needs manpower to count them. Su Peizhi is unable to handle it alone, and Meng Mu's body cannot support such a heavy workload.

Su Zhizhi discussed it with Xie Chengjin, and hired a reliable nanny to help take care of Jiaojiao. She and Su Peizhi were busy counting new goods in the store every day.

Su Peizhi was not slow in working to begin with, and now with the help of Su Zhizhi, Su Peizhi was even more powerful. The brother and sister were busy until late at night and finally transferred the new goods into the warehouse.

These new goods are all high-quality food and fodder, and Su Peizhi also seized the business opportunity to purchase them. Looking at the warehouse full of food and fodder in front of him, Su Zhizhi was also full of emotion. "I didn't expect that I could do so many things in a day. It's only now that I have some free time that I realize why I am so tired."

Su Peizhi looked at Su Zhizhi and smiled. When he heard Su Zhizhi say that she was exhausted, Su Peizhi quickly said, "Things are almost done now. The shop assistants are taking care of us, so you don't have to worry too much. How about I treat you to dinner?"

Seeing Su Peizhi take the initiative to mention that he wanted to treat Su Zhizhi to a meal, Su Zhizhi was immediately surprised. She looked at Su Peizhi and said with a smile, "It's incredible that a brat like you can take the initiative to ask for a meal. Do you have something to ask of me, your sister?"

Su Peizhi felt embarrassed and annoyed when he saw his thoughts being exposed. He quickly asked, "Are you going or not?"

Seeing that Su Peizhi seemed a little restless, Su Zhizhi was even more surprised and nodded repeatedly, "Go, why wouldn't I go? I want to eat the best food!"

Su Peizhi nodded, turned around and walked in front to lead the way, bringing Su Zhizhi to the largest restaurant in Beijing. As soon as Su Peizhi entered the door, he asked for a private room and walked in with Su Zhizhi.

When all the dishes were served, Su Zhizhi still didn't pick up her chopsticks, but just looked at Su Peizhi.

Su Peizhi felt uncomfortable being stared at by Su Zhizhi, and quickly said, "Sister, the food here is pretty good, why don't you try it? Although it's not as good as if you cooked it yourself."

Su Zhizhi shook her head and looked at Su Peizhi and said, "Tell me, what's going on? Did you do something bad behind my back?"

The more Su Zhizhi thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong with Su Peizhi, and there was suspicion in her eyes as she looked at Su Peizhi.

Su Peizhi felt a little tired and looked at Su Zhizhi with amusement, "Sister, what are you thinking? Am I someone who can't tell right from wrong? I'm just treating my sister to a meal, how can you still think that way?"

Su Zhizhi confirmed again and again that Su Peizhi did not seem to be lying, then she picked up the chopsticks at hand. After eating to her satisfaction, Su Peizhi said: Sister, it has been a while since I accepted my mother's affairs. Although doing business is a good choice for me, I have also thought a lot during this period. After all, I have only been banned from taking exams for two years. I plan to make a good transition during these two years. Once the ban is over, I still want to take the exam.

Seeing that Su Peizhi still hadn't let go of the imperial examination, Su Zhizhi was silent for a moment, then nodded. "I knew you still couldn't let go of the imperial examination, but it's okay this way. These two years are not a short time, and you can think about your future. Peizhi, remember, no matter what you choose, I will always support you."
