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

When Su Zhizhi saw Xie Chengjin, she could no longer hold back the grievances in her heart and tears started to flow down her face, leaving Xie Chengjin at a loss.

Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi and said in a panic, "Don't cry, I just pulled you out of there. If someone saw you, they would think I bullied you."

Su Zhizhi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xie Chengjin. She got angry when she mentioned this. "Where were you when we were in Jinyi City? I was sent to Honglu Tower and almost couldn't get out, did you know that?"

Thinking of what happened in Jinyi City, Xie Chengjin was also very puzzled. "I looked for you in Jinyi City, but there was no trace of you. Seeing the city gate open, I thought you had already left the city, so I wondered if I could catch up with you."

The two of them talked about what happened in Jinyi City, and unknowingly, the relationship between them seemed to have taken a step further.

As the wedding day drew to a close, Su Zhizhi suddenly recalled Xie Chengjin's extravagant spending at the restaurant today. She couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and couldn't help but sneer in her words, "Mr. Xie was truly extravagant at the restaurant today, spending money without blinking an eye. I'm afraid he's already spent all his money for the trip to the capital, right?"

Xie Chengjin was stunned for a moment, then he was somewhat helpless and quickly explained: "No, don't worry, I have saved the money for the trip to the capital. What's more, today's incident happened suddenly. I had to rescue you from that restaurant. It was an emergency. You can't blame me."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhizhi looked at Xie Chengjin suspiciously, her face full of disbelief, but she didn't say much. However, she was still worried about Shen Wenjun. She had escaped from the restaurant, but Shen Wenjun was still in the hands of the government office, and she didn't know what the situation was.

Su Zhizhi grabbed Xie Chengjin's arm, looked at him seriously and said, "Xie Chengjin, we have to rescue Shen Wenjun. He's still at the government office. I can't just leave him alone."

Xie Chengjin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Who is Shen Wenjun?"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhizhi told Xie Chengjin the whole story.

Of course, Xie Chengjin had no way to refuse Su Zhizhi's request after hearing it. After all, if it weren't for Shen Wenjun in Jinyi City, Su Zhizhi would probably be in danger now. It was reasonable for Xie Chengjin to take action.

"So what are you going to do?" Xie Chengjin asked Su Zhizhi.

Su Zhizhi was silent for a moment and said, "Why don't we do it the old way?"

"The old way?" Xie Chengjin was a little puzzled.

"We'll capture someone and hand him over to the government office. In return, the government office will send someone to Manxinglou to ask the owner to release Shen Wenjun. Shen Wenjun didn't actually commit any crime, and he was a victim of kidnapping just like me, so the government office should help us rescue him." Su Zhizhi analyzed calmly.

Xie Chengjin suddenly realized that Su Zhizhi was referring to the time when she used those petty thieves in the town to exchange for her first pot of gold from the government. Xie Chengjin was very impressed by Su Zhizhi's idea, "Let's do this. There should be quite a few thieves in Lejun County. If we do this, we can be considered a big help to the government."

They acted as soon as they said they would, and their tacit understanding remained unchanged. In just half a day, they caught many petty thieves and sent them to the government. It was quite surprising to see someone at the government office willing to catch these thieves.

After knowing Su Zhizhi's request, the yamen runner did not refuse and rescued Shen Wenjun from Manxing Tower very readily. Su Zhizhi looked at the thin Shen Wenjun in front of him and felt a little sorry.

Before taking Shen Wenjun away, Xie Chengjin was quite "kind" in helping the restaurant owner. He reported to the government office that the owner was suspected of poisoning, and the government office invited the owner to have tea.

After reporting the restaurant, Xie Chengjin felt relieved a lot. Seeing this, Su Zhizhi also smiled. After all, she had been unhappy with the shopkeeper for a long time.

Xie Chengjin brought Su Zhizhi and Shen Wenjun back to where they stayed. After entering the house, Shen Wenjun bowed to Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin and said, "Thank you both for saving my life."

The first time Xie Chengjin saw Shen Wenjun, he felt that he didn't get along with this person. However, Su Zhizhi didn't think it was a big deal and quickly helped Shen Wenjun up.

"Mr. Shen, there's no need to be so polite. Back in Jinyi City, you helped me a lot. Otherwise, I'd probably still be trapped in Jinyi City. Now that I've saved you, we're even."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenjun smiled warmly, but her eyes were fixed on Su Zhizhi without blinking. Xie Chengjin naturally noticed Shen Wenjun's gaze and couldn't help but snorted coldly. They were all men, so Xie Chengjin could naturally see that Shen Wenjun treated Su Zhizhi differently.

Shen Wenjun's eyes were full of affection when she looked at Su Zhizhi. Although Xie Chengjin was not sure what kind of feelings Su Zhizhi had for Shen Wenjun, he dared to guarantee that Shen Wenjun definitely had improper thoughts about Su Zhizhi. Thinking of this, Xie Chengjin couldn't help but feel hostile towards Shen Wenjun.

Su Zhizhi, who was standing between the two men, seemed to have extraordinary insensitivity. She didn't notice anything. After comforting Shen Wenjun, she turned her head to look at Xie Chengjin.

Xie Chengjin quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Su Zhizhi softly. Before Xie Chengjin could speak, Su Zhizhi took the lead and said, "Xie Chengjin, how much silver do you have on you?"

Xie Chengjin said subconsciously: "There are still some. What's the matter? Do you want to use it?"

"It's not that I need it. All the money I have was taken away by the shopkeeper. I don't have any extra. If you have any, please give some to Mr. Shen as a thank you for taking care of me during this period of time."

"I told you before, he took good care of me from Jinyi City to Lejun County." Of course, Su Zhizhi lowered her voice so that Shen Wenjun couldn't hear clearly.

Xie Chengjin laughed in silence. He was just worried whether Su Zhizhi also had that kind of feelings for Shen Wenjun. Now it seems that he was overthinking it.

Thinking of this, Xie Chengjin took out some silver without saying a word and stuffed it into Su Zhizhi's hand, "This should be enough. If it's not enough, I'll get you some more."

Su Zhizhi weighed it over and quickly stopped Xie Chengjin's actions, "These are enough. Save the rest for the trip to the capital. The journey is long, so you need to prepare more."

After saying that, Su Zhizhi handed the silver to Shen Wenjun and expressed her gratitude.

With Xie Chengjin present, Shen Wenjun could no longer refuse and had to accept the money as Su Zhizhi asked.
