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

Zhuifeng quickly said, "Master, we recognized the wrong person."

"Zhuifeng, don't speak for her. That dress is what she wore during festivals in Danyang. You can't buy it in the capital. It can't be wrong."

The style of the clothes was made by Shen Muxi herself by drawing the blueprint and cutting the cloth. Even if Gu Shi just saw it from a distance, he could recognize it clearly.

After a pause, he looked at Zhuifeng, "Why, is she so poor that she even pawned her clothes?"

As he spoke, his eyebrows raised slightly, with an expression that said, "I guessed it would be like this."

"It doesn't matter if she doesn't come back now. Go tell her that if she thinks it through, come back and have a good talk with me. Even if we can't be husband and wife in the future, I won't treat her and Xiaoxiao unfairly."

Zhuifeng looked at the arrogant expression that his master involuntarily revealed, and thought of the time in Danyang when Shen Muxi worked like a slave for the Rong Prince's Mansion.

For the first time, he felt that Shen Muxi's efforts for Gu Shi were not worth it.

"Chasing the wind."

Hearing Gu Shi calling him, Zhui Feng quickly came back to his senses, "Master."

When Zhuifeng met Gu Shi's eyes that were so deep that they seemed to understand everything he was thinking, he felt a little uneasy.

He quickly lowered his eyes and asked, "Next, do we still need to continue searching for Madam's whereabouts?"

Gu Shi shook his head.

"Xixi is right. Since she is so stubborn, let her continue to be stubborn. She has to suffer some hardships before she can understand how happy it is to live in the Prince's Mansion."

Zhuifeng pursed his lips and lowered his head without saying a word.

Gu Shi sighed, looking helpless. "You've watched Xiaoxiao grow up since she was little. This prince knows you love her dearly. As a father, this prince's love for his child is definitely no less than yours. I think the Shen family is betting on our softness. If we pay too much attention to Xiaoxiao now, it will make her even more unscrupulous, so..."

At this point, Gu Shi looked at Zhuifeng with increasingly stern eyes, "If this prince finds out that you secretly went to help her, you will return to Lingcheng and stay there permanently."

Zhuifeng clenched his teeth and squeezed out a sound after a long time, "Yes."

Gu Shi nodded in satisfaction. "Relax, this is the Rongjun Prince's Mansion. Xiaoxiao is the young lady of the Rongjun Prince's Mansion. The servants will not treat her badly."

Zhuifeng didn't say anything else.

...

Gu Xiaoxiao didn’t know how long she cried. She was so tired that she fell asleep.

When I woke up again from the bed, moonlight poured into the room from the windowsill and spread all over the floor.

Her world was still quiet.

My hands hurt and I'm hungry...

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had eaten.

A faint fragrance drifted in from outside.

Her stomach growled a few times.

"Gu~~Gu~~"

She pursed her dry lips and called out hoarsely, "Grandma An..."

"Sister Shuandi..."

"Mother..."

She is thirsty...

She's hungry...

Her right hand is paralyzed and her left fingers hurt...

Until her throat could no longer make any sound, she moved her numb legs and tried to stand up with difficulty.

However, her right hand was seriously injured and she was unable to balance her body. She lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground again.

There was a piercing pain in my right knee.

Tears instantly filled my eyes.

She bit her lip and dared not make a sound, for fear that the maid who beat her during the day would come back.

Four of the five fingers on her left hand were swollen like carrots. The slightest contact with anything else caused her to feel such intense pain that she almost fainted.

But she couldn't faint. She hadn't eaten for a long time and she was really hungry...

Fortunately, the room was not big, and she finally stumbled and half crawled, half walked to the half-open door.

There was no one serving outside.

But the aroma of meat and rice was stronger than when she was in the house.

She licked her cracked lips, swallowed her saliva, and was about to stumble out.

A tall, thin figure blocked her way.

"Are you hungry, young lady?"

...

When Shen Muxi regained consciousness, it was already noon the next day.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Gu Shi hurriedly changing his clothes and rushing towards Luoxia Garden.

Anger boiled in her heart, "Gu Shi, your daughter is dying! You actually still have the mood to go see that mother and daughter!!"

Yesterday, she was overwhelmed by a strong sense of unwillingness and lost consciousness for a moment.

The first thing I did when I opened my eyes was to eagerly know Xiaoxiao's current situation.

However, the familiar feeling of being shackled once again bound her.

She returned to her previous state and could not leave Gu Shi even half a foot away.

No matter how she roared and cursed behind Gu Shi.

It still couldn't change the result of his visit to Su Liuxi and her daughter.

Shen Muxi only felt a fishy sweetness in his mouth.

A stream of blood quietly slid down her nose and quickly dissipated.

Along with the nosebleed, the look in Shen Muxi's eyes also disappeared.

At this moment, she no longer had the strong personal emotions she had just now. Her eyes were empty and she followed Gu Shi like a doll.

When Gu Shi walks, she floats; when Gu Shi stops, she stops.

When Gu Shi entered Luoxia Garden, he saw Su Liuxi gently holding Yu Yuexi's hand and writing under a tree.

The heartwarming scene softened Gu Shi's heart and even made his stern expression disappear without a trace.

Suddenly, he remembered that when he was in Danyang, Shen Muxi seemed to be doing the same thing, using a burnt charcoal stick to teach Gu Xiaoxiao to write those missing characters on the ground...

"Mom is the best. Xiaoxiao loves Mom the most."

Gu Xiaoxiao's babyish voice seemed to be right next to my ear.

Gu Shi suddenly woke up with a start.

Yu Yuexi and Su Liuxi stopped at some point, trotted up to him, and called him crisply.

"Uncle Gu, are you here to see me and my mother?"

Because of joy, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead and her cheeks were a healthy pink.

Gu Shi's heart moved, and he bent down and picked up Yu Yuexi.

"Yes, I was worried about you and your daughter, so I came to see if Yueyue is feeling better today?"

"This naughty boy never wants to rest for a moment. He just wrote two lines and when he saw you coming, he stopped writing."

Su Liuxi walked to Gu Shi with a smile and skillfully wiped the thin layer of sweat from Yu Yuexi's forehead with an embroidered handkerchief.

The fragrant breeze blew gently, and Gu Shi turned his head to see Su Liuxi's gentle and beautiful profile.

His Adam's apple moved slightly and he looked away.

"Since you're not feeling well, just take a good rest. You can write anytime, but if you've overworked yourself, you can't always recover."

Su Liuxi lowered her eyes. "I know, but Yueyue doesn't live with me now, and the distance between the courtyards of the Rongjun Prince's Mansion is not close. It would take some effort for her to come to me, so I thought about spending more time with her when she is around..."

Her tone was lost, and Gu Shi thought of Shen Muxi for no reason.

As a mother herself, Xixi wants to spend more time with her child and even when she is frightened, she still teaches her child to write personally.

On the other hand, Shen is cold-hearted and even wants to use her daughter's illness as a bargaining chip to control him...

"Brother Gu Shi?"

It was not until Su Liuxi called him softly that Gu Shi realized that he was angry again because of Shen Muxi's leaving home.

He quickly suppressed his emotions and put Yu Yuexi down. "When I asked Zhuifeng to arrange another place for Yueyue, it was because I wanted you to recuperate better. If you are worried about Yueyue, I can arrange for her to move back in with you later."

Hearing this, Su Liuxi's watery eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it really possible? Thank you, Brother Gu Shi."

Yu Yuexi also took the opportunity to come forward and hold Gu Shi's arm, "In this case, can Yueyue live with mother again?"

After receiving Gu Shi's affirmative answer, Yu Yuexi smiled even more innocently, "Uncle Gu is the best. Yueyue likes Uncle Gu the most."

When Zhuifeng stepped into Luoxia Garden, he saw the happy family of three, and a complex emotion quickly flashed in his eyes.

"Your Highness, Lord Liang, the Jingzhao Yin, wishes to see you. He is in the front hall."

Gu Shi’s face darkened.

Su Liuxi quickly spoke up, "Brother Gu Shi, since we have a guest, you should go and entertain him. Who knows, maybe that gentleman really came here for something."

Gu Shi sneered.

"He better be in trouble."
