After his wife and daughter died tragically, the scumbag prince's hair turned white overnight

"It's true. They've already arrived at Ronghui Hall. The prince has sent someone to invite you and the young lady over."

Cui'e tried hard to keep her voice calm.

However, after doing so many bad things, I suddenly saw a dead person appear in front of me.

It would be a lie to say that I don't feel guilty.

"Impossible," Su Liuxi still didn't believe it. She grabbed Yu Yuexi's hand and strode out, "Let's go and take a look."

"Princess, the snow is still melting and the ground is slippery. Please be careful."

Cui'e chased after him and reminded him.

...

Ronghui Hall.

The elegantly dressed Princess Rong looked at the thin little girl that Gu Shi was holding, her eyebrows already knotted into a knot.

"Liu'er is already married, and you suddenly take her back. How do you expect her to cope?"

After the bumpy journey for several days, Gu Xiaoxiao looked pale and even less energetic than before when she was in Prince Rong's Mansion.

Compared with the fair and tender Yu Yuexi, the old Princess Rong looked at Gu Xiaoxiao with a bit more disgust.

Gu Shi held Gu Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, "Mother, no matter what mistakes her mother made in the past, the child is innocent, not to mention...

Before Gu Shi could finish his words, the old Princess Rong snorted coldly, "You were so carefree when you left with your man. How come you only know to come back to you after suffering?"

"Mother, what happened back then was just a misunderstanding." Gu Shi argued.

"Mother doesn't care about your affairs. You think it's just a matter of having more people and more pairs of chopsticks, but for our Rongjunwang Mansion, she is now six years old. Raising her until she reaches the age of marriage requires money. Where will the money come from? Have you ever calculated the accounts?"

Gu Shi choked, "Shen's family used to have assets in Danyang...

The old Rong County Princess scoffed, "Since last year, the business in Danyang has been struggling. The shopkeeper there wrote to me saying that a wealthy businessman has set his sights on the Shen family's shop, and I sold it a long time ago."

He is so confident in selling other people's property.

The equally pale and skinny little maidservant following behind Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but mutter, "But I heard that the young lady in your mansion is not the biological daughter of Prince Rong. How come you don't have to spend money to raise her?"

The little maid's words were neither light nor heavy, and the old Princess Rong happened to hear them when she shut up.

She immediately became angry and said, "Where did this wild girl come from? She has no respect for the inferiors."

Knowing the character of the old Princess Rong, Gu Shi was afraid that Gu Xiaoxiao would not be used to being taken care of by everyone familiar with her after just returning, so he quickly spoke up to defend her.

"Mother, this is the person who has taken care of Xiaoxiao along the way. Xiaoxiao has become accustomed to her care and will stay by Xiaoxiao's side from now on."

Gu Shi's words were also elevating Gu Xiaoxiao's status. The old Rong County Princess said sarcastically, "Why, is your mother now not as good as a little maidservant beside your daughter?"

What would happen if the news got out that the Princess of Rong was being compared with a little country maid?

"How can we make random comparisons of these things?" Gu Shi spoke hastily, fearing that the old Princess Rong would say something else that would make her laugh. "Anyway, son, let me be clear. Xiaoxiao is my biological daughter. If your mother makes things difficult for Xiaoxiao, it means she doesn't like you."

As Su Liuxi and Yu Yuexi stepped into Ronghui Hall, they heard Gu Shi's cold words.

Both of them felt a pang of relief in their hearts at the same time.

Su Liuxi took the opportunity to release Yu Yuexi's hand. With red eyes, she walked up to Gu Xiaoxiao and lovingly brushed her hair aside. "Poor thing, how did you get so thin?"

Gu Xiaoxiao shrank back, not letting Su Liuxi touch her, and hid behind Gu Shi.

Suddenly, without someone to pity, Su Liuxi's tears were about to fall and hung on her eyelashes, looking particularly funny.

Gu Shi glanced at Su Liuxi and Yu Yuexi, an apology flashing in his eyes, "Xiaoxiao is my biological child after all. She suffered a lot before returning to me. I hope you can tolerate and accept her."

"Brother Gu Shi, what are you talking about?"

Su Liuxi glared at Gu Shi in disapproval and smiled gently, "Your child is my child. There is no distinction between us anymore."

Gu Shi nodded with satisfaction.

He held Gu Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, then loosened it and squatted in front of Gu Xiaoxiao.

"From now on, Aunt Su will be your mother. You must not be as willful as before, understand?"

Gu Shi deliberately slowed down his speech. Gu Xiaoxiao understood what he meant and nodded timidly.

The old Rong County Princess said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you speak? Are you mute? You've been away for a few months, and your manners have been thrown away like a dog's stomach?"

"Mother concubine."

Gu Shi looked at the old Rongjun Princess a little angrily, "Xiaoxiao has been displaced for the past few months, and her previous illness and throat injury have not yet fully recovered."

When the word "throat" was mentioned, the long-forgotten memories once again came to the mind of the old Princess Rong.

She looked away guiltily, not looking at Gu Shi and Gu Xiaoxiao, "She burned her throat because of her greed, can she blame others?"

When she stole a glance at Gu Shi, she happened to meet his cold gaze, and her attitude softened slightly, "Alright, Mother understands."

But she is just a little girl, and maybe she can pave the way for the baby in Liu'er's belly in the future.

Just keep him, it's the same as raising a slave.

Come out from Ronghui Hall.

Gu Xiaoxiao's small hand was holding Gu Shi's big hand tightly.

She was completely different from the little girl who threw tantrums a few months ago.

The admiration for him is obvious.

They hadn't seen each other for several months, and his longing for his child had reached its peak. Now that the child was right in front of him, Gu Shi's heart suddenly softened.

He stopped again, squatted in front of her and looked her in the eye. "Daddy didn't mean to let the servants ignore you. From now on, you will follow your new mother obediently. You are still Daddy's good daughter."

He deliberately slowed down his mouth movements and spoke in a gentle tone, making him look particularly approachable.

Gu Xiaoxiao was finally not as nervous as she was at the beginning.

She moved her mouth slightly, and squeezed out a stiff tone from her throat, "Mother..."

Gu Shi’s face froze.

"Your mother... Daddy is looking for her. When he finds her, Daddy will take you to see her, okay?"

When mentioning Shen Muxi, Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with tears.

After getting Gu Shi's assurance, she wiped away her tears with her arm and nodded vigorously.

Gu Shi then lifted the loose hair from her temples to her ears before standing up and facing Su Liuxi.

"I have something else to do and need to go out for a while. From now on, Xiaoxiao will be left to your care."
