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

It was getting late and the three of them were a little tired. At night, Shen Wenjun went to rest first, while Su Zhizhi discussed with Xie Chengjin.

Su Zhizhi thought that they had been delayed in Lejun County for too long and it was time to continue their journey towards the capital.

Xie Chengjin had no objection to this, but Shen Wenjun was a thorn in his heart. He asked casually, "Does Mr. Shen want to split up with us?"

Su Zhizhi glanced at Xie Chengjin strangely, "Why do we have to separate? Shen Wenjun is also planning to go to the capital. Since we have the same destination, why don't we go together? One more person means we have one more person to look after us."

Xie Chengjin choked and didn't know what to say. Since Su Zhizhi had already brought it up, Xie Chengjin couldn't refute it and had to agree to let Shen Wenjun accompany him all the way.

The next morning, Su Zhizhi specifically mentioned the idea of ​​traveling together to Shen Wenjun. Shen Wenjun first glanced at Xie Chengjin, and their eyes met where Su Zhizhi could not see. Then Shen Wenjun retracted his gaze and agreed to Su Zhizhi's proposal.

The two were talking here, while Xie Chengjin was counting the silver and money on the side. Before coming to Lejun County, he made a special trip to the bank under his command. The money he had originally prepared had been used up in Jinyi City.

After ensuring sufficient funds, Su Zhizhi and his companions of three set out again for the capital.

Out of consideration for Shen Wenjun's health, they slowed down their journey a lot, but fortunately, they were secretly escorted by Xie Chengjin's men, so the journey was relatively safe and nothing went wrong.

After traveling for such a long time, even Su Zhizhi, who had great physical strength, couldn't help but feel a little tired, not to mention Shen Wenjun, whose health wasn't as good as Su Zhizhi's. Xie Chengjin, on the other hand, didn't seem to feel anything.

Xie Chengjin noticed Su Zhizhi's fatigue and took the initiative to say, "There's a post station not far ahead. We might as well stop there to rest and recuperate. Although there's nothing dangerous along the way, it's not very tiring either."

Su Zhizhi readily agreed. Thinking that there was a place to rest ahead, she felt much more energetic.

Just as Xie Chengjin said, the three of them walked forward for less than an hour and suddenly saw a small town not far ahead.

There was only one inn in the town, and the environment was acceptable. However, after asking the price, Su Zhizhi frowned instinctively and wanted to go to another restaurant. However, there was no village or shop nearby, and there was no other choice.

The three wanted to rest, so they had to take their things and step into the inn, but they didn't expect that this inn was a black shop.

As soon as they stepped into the inn, the boss came to greet them personally. He looked at Su Zhizhi and the other two with a smile on his face, and his gaze stayed on Xie Chengjin for a particularly long time, so long that Xie Chengjin couldn't help but frown, and was very dissatisfied with the boss's look.

But fortunately, before Xie Chengjin could explode, the boss shifted his gaze and said to Su Zhizhi, "Are you guys staying at the hotel?"

Su Zhizhi nodded and was about to say something when she heard the boss say, "There are three empty rooms in the inn, just enough for you to rest. Look..."

Su Zhizhi's face was a little strange. The boss came up and said he wanted to open three rooms without asking Su Zhizhi and others for their opinions. Su Zhizhi thought this shop might be a little strange. When she was about to discuss it with Xie Chengjin, she saw Xie Chengjin slapping his wallet in front of the boss and said, "Boss, three private rooms, better ones."

Su Zhizhi was speechless. Xie Chengjin was paying, and since he had already said he wanted three rooms, Su Zhizhi was too lazy to ask for money for him. Based on the principle of not taking advantage of a good deal, after the boss handed over the key to the room, Su Zhizhi took the lead and walked into the room.

After stepping into the private room, Su Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh. Although this inn didn't look very luxurious from the outside, it was a different world inside. At least it was the best inn Su Zhizhi had encountered along the way.

After resting for a while, Su Zhizhi felt a little hungry. Coincidentally, Xie Chengjin knocked on Su Zhizhi's door. "Zhizhi, come downstairs to eat? You haven't eaten for a long time."

Su Zhizhi touched her belly, which was a little flat, so she opened the door and followed Xie Chengjin downstairs. Xie Chengjin hadn't planned to take Shen Wenjun with him, but Su Zhizhi suddenly remembered that someone was missing, so she called out to Xie Chengjin, "Xie Chengjin, wait a minute, where's Shen Wenjun? Why can't I see him?"

Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi, who was looking around for Shen Wenjun, and felt a lump of air stuck in his chest. He snorted coldly and said, "I don't know. He should still be in the room. Who knows if he's hungry?"

Even though Su Zhizhi realized it later, she noticed something was wrong with Xie Chengjin. She looked at him puzzledly, "Is there any conflict between you and Shen Wenjun? Why do I feel like you don't like him very much?"

"I didn't, you're overthinking it." Xie Chengjin subconsciously refuted Su Zhizhi's words, then quickly turned around and hid his slightly flushed cheeks.

Su Zhizhi just felt that Xie Chengjin was becoming more and more strange, but she didn't think much about it and walked towards Shen Wenjun's room.

Before Su Zhizhi could knock on the door, it was opened from the inside. Shen Wenjun looked up and met Su Zhizhi's eyes.

"Miss Su, did you have a good rest?" Shen Wenjun said with a smile and a gentle voice.

Su Zhizhi also smiled warmly at Shen Wenjun, "Not bad, I guess you must be hungry, let's go downstairs to eat."

After saying that, Su Zhizhi walked ahead. Xie Chengjin had already gone downstairs to prepare ordering.

Su Zhizhi took Shen Wenjun to sit down at the table, and the boss took the opportunity to hand over the menu. Su Zhizhi handed the menu to Shen Wenjun without thinking, "Take a look at what you want to eat."

Shen Wenjun didn't refuse and took the menu to examine it. However, when his eyes touched the prices of the dishes, Shen Wenjun couldn't help but gasp. His hand holding the menu was shaking a little. After a long while, he closed the menu and handed it back to Su Zhizhi, "Miss Su, take a look first."

Su Zhizhi was startled by Shen Wenjun's condition, thinking he was unwell. Before she could ask, Xie Chengjin spoke first, "Why does Mr. Shen look so bad? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Wenjun bit her lip, shook her head, and just gestured to Su Zhizhi to look at the menu.

Su Zhizhi didn't understand why, but the hunger in her stomach was becoming more and more obvious, so she decided to order food first.

It was not until she saw the prices that she understood why Shen Wenjun had that expression. Even Su Zhizhi couldn't help but look gloomy.
