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

Jiang Qin was an impatient person. Seeing that her first plan didn't work, Jiang Qin became anxious and couldn't hold back at all. Since she had let Su Zhizhi dodge once, Jiang Qin didn't believe that Su Zhizhi could dodge it a second time. She quickly came up with other tricks, which were bound to make Su Zhizhi's life unhappy.

This time, Jiang Qin planned to use the same trick again. She spent a lot of money to find a few "professional" people to apply for the servant positions in the Xie Mansion. This was also an opportunity that Su Zhizhi deliberately left for Jiang Qin. She sent people to post notices on the street every day, saying that the Xie Mansion was preparing to recruit a few more servants.

With Su Zhizhi's intentional leniency, Jiang Qin's men naturally and easily sneaked into Xie's house.

Jiang Qin asked these people to find the right opportunity to go to the kitchen and tamper with Su Zhizhi and Jiaojiao's food by putting some poison in it.

But Su Zhizhi was prepared. The surveillance camera she had placed in the kitchen clearly captured the people in the kitchen and what they were doing.

When Su Zhizhi saw what happened in the kitchen through the surveillance camera, she was about to explode with rage, but fortunately she had not lost her mind. She quickly called a few people and caught the man in the kitchen.

When he was discovered, the man was a little confused, but when he quickly reacted and tried to cover up, he was already captured by Su Zhizhi's men.

The man who poisoned the food was detained on the ground. Su Zhizhi sat in front of him and asked in a cold voice, "What were you going to do just now?"

"Madam, I..." The man took a look at the poison held by Su Zhizhi's men, gritted his teeth, and still wanted to make a last-ditch struggle.

But before he could finish his words, Su Zhizhi interrupted him, "You'd better think it over before you speak. My patience is limited. There is evidence, so you should think carefully about what to say and what not to say."

The person who poisoned the food was not in the right state of mind, and was confused by Su Zhizhi's words and didn't know what to say.

After hesitating for a long time, he didn't say anything. Su Zhizhi just sat there and watched quietly, but she didn't hear anything she wanted to hear. Su Zhizhi's patience was gradually exhausted. "If you don't want to say it, someone come..."

Su Zhizhi waved her hand, and one of the secret guards left by Xie Chengjin appeared behind her. He approached the person who poisoned her with something in his hand. Before Su Zhizhi could finish her words, the man begged for mercy, "Madam, please spare me, please spare me... I will tell you everything, yes... yes, yes..."

Seeing that the man still hadn't said anything useful, the maidservant beside Su Zhizhi suddenly became more aggressive after receiving Su Zhizhi's gaze. "I think you've got a lot of guts. If that's the case, don't blame the lady for being rude to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the secret guard whipped the man with a whip. Although the secret guard only used 50% of his strength, the man's back was still covered in flesh and blood, and he looked extremely scary.

Seeing this, the other servants around could not help but take a step back, but when they met Su Zhizhi's scanning eyes, these servants stopped abruptly. Su Zhizhi also planned to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, so that some people would not be confused about who their master is. This time, it was a servant hired by Jiang Qin from outside. If there was a problem inside the Xie Mansion next time, Su Zhizhi would be in trouble.

The man was whipped and could not utter any words. He just fell to the ground and kept wailing. Su Zhizhi was annoyed and made a "tsk" sound. The man fell silent instantly and covered his mouth tightly with his hands, fearing that Su Zhizhi would be unhappy and whip him again.

Seeing the man fall silent again, Su Zhizhi's face turned very ugly. Just as she was about to let the secret guards continue to attack, the man who poisoned her immediately begged for mercy: "Madam, madam, please have mercy on me. I'll tell you, I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything... It was Marquis Xiao's wife who sent me here... Please, madam, spare me."

When Su Zhizhi heard it was Jiang Qin, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed. It was indeed Jiang Qin. Su Zhizhi had an idea in her mind and thought that Jiang Qin was not giving up after all.

After knowing the mastermind behind the scenes, Su Zhizhi hesitated. She didn't know what she should do now. What if she knew that the real culprit was Jiang Qin? Xie Chengjin was not in the capital at the moment. Without Xie Chengjin's protection, Su Zhizhi could not be so reckless and should not act rashly. After thinking it over again and again, Su Zhizhi decided to have the man imprisoned first.

Afterwards, Su Zhizhi returned to her own courtyard. After thinking it over again and again, Su Zhizhi decided to go to the princess's mansion in a low-key manner.

Xu Miao was a little surprised to see Su Zhizhi coming to find him, but he quickly brought her into his yard.

Seeing that Su Zhizhi's face looked a little strange, Xu Miao asked worriedly, "Zhizhi, what happened? Why do you look so bad?"

Hearing Xu Miao's question, Su Zhizhi finally came to her senses and realized that something was wrong with her. Su Zhizhi smiled at Xu Miao and did not respond to Xu Miao's words. Instead, she asked, "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask you."

Xu Miao could see the reluctance on Su Zhizhi's face, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "Just tell me."

"You are familiar with Marquis Xiao and have a good relationship with him. Do you know Marquis Xiao's wife, Jiang Qin?" Su Zhizhi pondered for a moment and spoke.

"Of course I know. Jiang Qin is Marquis Xiao's first wife. Why are you asking this?" Xu Miao didn't understand, but still answered.

Su Zhizhi took a deep breath and continued, "Then do you know what Madam Jiang likes? Does she have any preferences?"

In fact, Su Zhizhi didn't want to have too much entanglement with Marquis Xiao's people. Xie Chengjin suffered a loss at the hands of Marquis Xiao, but now Marquis Xiao wanted to take action against the Xie family, so Su Zhizhi could only accept it passively. However, she knew very little about Marquis Xiao's family, so she could only start with Xu Miao to see if she could please him and find out some things about Marquis Xiao from Jiang Qin.

Xu Miao recalled carefully, "Let me think about it. I remember she liked jade, especially jade bracelets. I wonder how many jade bracelets there are in her dressing table. But why are you asking this? Could it be that you want to meet her?"

Xu Miao became more and more curious. Hearing this, Su Zhizhi sighed and briefly told Xu Miao what had happened in the mansion.

When Xu Miao heard that Jiang Qin was the mastermind behind this, he gasped, "What did you say? Jiang Qin actually attacked you?"
