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

As she spoke, Su Zhizhi pointed her finger at Shen Wenjun who was not far away, and Shen Wenjun smiled at Xie Chengjin.

Xie Chengjin rubbed the top of Su Zhizhi's head and said, "My work here is almost finished, please wait for me for a while."

After saying that, Xie Chengjin went to find the prince to explain the situation. Anyway, the matters that needed to be discussed between him and the prince had already been finalized. Now that he left the East Palace, there would be no other changes. Xie Chengjin thought about whether he could tell the prince, and then left first.

The Crown Prince also knew about Su Zhizhi's arrival. Seeing Xie Chengjin so impatient to find him, the Crown Prince also knew what was going on. Before Xie Chengjin could say anything, the Crown Prince waved his hand generously and said, "Forget it. I know that Madam Xie has come. I just detained you in the East Palace for a few days, and she came directly to me to ask for you. How could I not let you go? Anyway, everything has been agreed upon, so you don't have to stay in the East Palace. You have lost a lot of weight these days. I will grant you a few days' leave. You can rest well in your mansion."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xie Chengjin did not expect it to be so smooth. After quickly bowing, he turned around and left the East Palace with Su Zhizhi.

Su Zhizhi followed Xie Chengjin, and only when they got on the carriage back to the mansion did she completely relax. "It's really not easy to let you out of the palace and return home." Su Zhizhi sighed and teased Xie Chengjin.

Xie Chengjin also smiled bitterly, "I also didn't expect to be able to stay in the palace for such a long time. If you hadn't come today, I don't know how long I would have to stay in the East Palace."

"Fortunately, you now have a few more days to rest and spend more time with Jiaojiao. Otherwise, I'm afraid she will really forget about you." Su Zhizhi reminded Xie Chengjin.

Speaking of Jiaojiao, Xie Chengjin was particularly helpless. "Jiaojiao is a child... After all, I am an irresponsible father. I almost threw Jiaojiao to you. Zhizhi, you have worked hard."

"It's okay, Jiaojiao is a sensible child, she..." Su Zhizhi smiled at Xie Chengjin, but before she could finish her words, the carriage began to shake violently. Su Zhizhi didn't sit firmly and fell to the side. Fortunately, Xie Chengjin was quick to pull her into his arms, and then looked outside with a serious face, "What happened?" Xie Chengjin's voice was very cold.

"My lord, this horse got frightened for some reason and is now unwilling to be driven." The groom had never seen such a thing before and was a little panicked.

Xie Chengjin immediately lifted the curtain and looked around. This was the place with the most people in the capital. Now the horses were out of control and running around everywhere. The people around were also running away in panic.

Su Zhizhi felt uneasy, but she still sat quietly in the carriage, trying not to cause trouble for Xie Chengjin.

"Leave here first. There are too many people here and it's easy for civilians to get hurt." Xie Chengjin warned.

But before the groom could react, the out-of-control horse crashed to the side. An elderly man was unable to dodge and was hit by the horse directly, lying on the ground unable to move.

But fortunately, the horse calmed down completely. After hitting one person, it fell to the ground and could not get up.

Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin, who were in the carriage, only felt the carriage shake violently for a moment, and then stopped in place.

The two looked at each other, and then Xie Chengjin took Su Zhizhi out of the car to check the situation outside.

When Su Zhizhi saw the old man lying on the ground, she subconsciously exclaimed. Xie Chengjin also looked in the direction Su Zhizhi was looking, and then immediately came to the old man's side.

When the people around saw the horse fall down, they came over curiously, gathering in groups of three or four to point at Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin.

However, neither of them paid any attention to the accusing people. Su Zhizhi immediately squatted down to check on the old man. Seeing that his life was not in danger, Su Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xie Chengjin and said, "There's nothing serious, but because of his age, he still needs to be sent to the clinic for further examination."

Xie Chengjin nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll arrange for someone to come and take the old man to the clinic."

After saying this, Xie Chengjin was about to ask the groom to go back and call for help. At this time, the people watching around said, "Sir, there is a clinic nearby, not far away. This old man is lying on the ground and can't get up. It's better not to move him too much."

As he spoke, the man seemed to be afraid that Xie Chengjin would not believe him, so he pointed him in a direction.

Xie Chengjin looked over and saw that it was indeed a clinic. He thanked the man and turned around to arrange for the groom to carefully help the old man into the clinic.

The people watching the excitement around all saw Xie Chengjin's behavior. It was rare to find an official like Xie Chengjin who did not disregard human life at all. For a while, people praised Xie Chengjin's actions.

However, Xie Chengjin knew nothing about this. Only after confirming that the old man really had no problems did Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin breathe a sigh of relief.

After the matter was resolved, the two returned home tiredly. Su Zhizhi looked at Xie Chengjin helplessly and said: I just went to the East Palace to find you, how come I encountered such a thing on my way back home?

Xie Chengjin was also puzzled. "Don't worry, I will send someone to investigate this matter. You don't have to worry."

After saying that, Xie Chengjin ordered people to go and investigate.

The news that Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi's carriage had been frightened and hit someone quickly spread throughout the capital. Marquis Xiao took advantage of the situation and began to spread rumors, saying that Xie Chengjin had just returned to the capital and was so lawless, rushing around during the riot, and did not care about human lives.

Lord Xiao's move was to completely ruin Xie Chengjin's reputation, and then naturally end Xie Chengjin's official career.

However, not long after the rumor came out, the people who gathered in the city that day began to spontaneously defend Xie Chengjin's reputation and clarify the matter for him.

Soon, the rumors that Lord Xiao had spent so much effort to spread completely dissipated.

The rumor was proven false. When Lord Xiao found out, he was so furious that he threw everything all over his study. He never thought that so many people would speak up for Xie Chengjin.

At the same time, the fainted horse was also brought back to Xie Mansion, and Xie Chengjin's men went to check what was wrong with the horse as usual.
