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

The final result naturally reached Su Zhizhi's ears. Faced with the investigation results that Lord Xiao was not a suspect, Su Zhizhi did not believe it at all. She recalled that she felt something was wrong when she last saw Jiang Qin.

Thinking about it carefully, Su Zhizhi recalled many unusual details, especially Jiang Qin's trust in Lord Xiao was too strong. Su Zhizhi always thought it was because Jiang Qin was in love, but now it seems that this is not the case. Lord Xiao might have discussed it with Jiang Qin a long time ago. Jiang Qin would take the blame for Lord Xiao, and Lord Xiao would do his best to protect Jiang Qin.

But even so, there are still many loopholes in this plan. If Lord Xiao really doesn't care about Jiang Qin, then he doesn't need Jiang Qin to be alive at all. After all, only the dead can keep secrets absolutely. Leaving Jiang Qin alive will only add a little risk to Lord Xiao.

But even so, Jiang Qin was still kidnapped. Thinking of Jiang Qin's appearance in prison, Su Zhizhi could almost conclude that Jiang Qin was definitely rescued by Marquis Xiao.

Thinking of this, Su Zhizhi remembered that before Xie Chengjin left the capital, he left many spies in the capital. Su Zhizhi did not want to use these people before, but now, he had to do so.

Su Zhizhi ordered the secret guards to contact those who were currently searching inside and outside the capital to find out the whereabouts of Jiang Qin and what kind of affair there was between Jiang Qin and Lord Xiao.

Xie Chengjin's informants were also extremely helpful, and it didn't take long for him to get news to Su Zhizhi.

It is said that a manor was found in the suburbs not far west of the capital. The manor was very secretive. Inside the manor, spies discovered that Jiang Qin, who was supposed to have been sentenced to death, was recuperating in the manor and looked much better than before.

After receiving the news, Su Zhizhi fell into deep thought. The spy on Zhuangzi was also found out. Zhuangzi was under the name of Marquis Xiao, and it was just bought not long ago. It seems that Marquis Xiao had thought of all the escape routes when he handed Jiang Qin over.

Thinking of this, Su Zhizhi sneered, "They really are a loving couple. Well, pass it on. Stay put for now and just keep an eye on Zhuangzi. Don't rush forward or you'll alert the enemy."

After arranging the spies, Su Zhizhi began to think about her next move. She couldn't let Jiang Qin and Lord Xiao do this, but looking at the entire capital, Su Zhizhi didn't know who she should look for.

After much thought, only Shen Wenjun was left. Although Su Zhizhi had a good relationship with Xu Miao, Xu Miao still had a relationship with Marquis Xiao. If she killed him all, Su Zhizhi was afraid that Xu Miao would stand against her and protect Marquis Xiao.

Su Zhizhi's health had almost recovered in the past few days, so she went to see Shen Wenjun with some things.

Shen Wenjun looked at Su Zhizhi who came to find her and felt a little strange, but after thinking about it, Shen Wenjun's expression became a little serious. Shen Wenjun knew Su Zhizhi's personality. If Su Zhizhi had not encountered any difficulties, she would not have come to find Shen Wenjun.

Shen Wenjun gestured for Su Zhizhi to sit down and said, "Why did you choose to come see me today? I heard you were injured during Jiang Qin's execution that day. Are you feeling better now?"

Su Zhizhi nodded. "Of course I'm much better. That's why I came to see you. Jiang Qin is missing, and I've been feeling uneasy. You know the relationship between the Xie family and Marquis Xiao is very tense right now. Jiang Qin isn't dead, so I'm afraid she's already madly resentful of me. I'm afraid..."

Shen Wenjun also knew about these things. She looked at Su Zhizhi with some heartache in her eyes, but she still comforted her, "Don't worry, if you have any problems, just come to me. Before Xie Chengjin left the capital, he specifically asked me to take good care of you, but in the end, this series of things happened. I am really ashamed."

"It's not your fault, after all, it's a grudge between us and Lord Xiao, you shouldn't be involved anyway." Su Zhizhi shook her head slightly, signaling Shen Wenjun not to feel guilty.

Su Zhizhi then mentioned the purpose of her visit. "I came to see you today because I need your help. Since Jiang Qin disappeared, I know something about what has happened in the capital. The prince is also looking for Jiang Qin's whereabouts, but he has searched the entire capital and still can't find her. However, I heard that Jiang Qin has been sent out of the capital and is currently recuperating in a manor. If that's possible..."

"I know, don't worry, I will tell the prince about this. The prince..." Shen Wenjun's expression immediately became serious, but before he finished speaking, the door of the study was pushed open.

It was the pale-faced Xu Miao. Su Zhizhi and Shen Wenjun's expressions suddenly changed. They didn't expect that Xu Miao still knew about it.

Shen Wenjun looked at Xu Miao, then at Su Zhizhi, and finally sighed deeply. She came to Xu Miao's side and asked softly, "Miao'er, what's wrong? Why are you here?"

Xu Miao ignored Shen Wenjun's question and looked at her intently, asking anxiously, "You just said Jiang Qin wasn't dead, right?"

Shen Wenjun looked at Su Zhizhi awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

Finally, Su Zhizhi stood up and said, "Yes, after Jiang Qin was kidnapped that day, Lord Xiao hid her in a manor outside the capital, and she's still alive and well."

Xu Miao breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking of what he had just heard, Xu Miao grabbed Su Zhizhi's hand and said, "Zhizhi, are you going to report Jiang Qin?"

Su Zhizhi took a deep breath and nodded. Yes, it was not an accusation. It was just that Jiang Qin had been sentenced to death. Although he was intercepted by people sent by Lord Xiao, it was still against the law. Besides, I was doing this to protect myself. As long as Jiang Qin was at large, I would not be able to live in peace. I didn't want to live in fear like this.

"Zhizhi, please, please, nothing happened to you now, you are safe, please let Jiang Qin go, let the Marquis go, okay?" Xu Miao was about to cry, she didn't want to see Jiang Qin being taken away like this.

Su Zhizhi frowned tightly, "Princess, what did you say? You want me to let Jiang Qin go? But when they wanted my life and Jiaojiao's life, why didn't they think of letting us go? What did we do wrong?" Su Zhizhi didn't understand why Xu Miao could say such a thing.
