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

At that time, he thought that Shen Muxi was trying to attract his attention and deliberately made Xiaoxiao's problem sound serious...

Even when Xiaoxiao lived in the main courtyard, he hadn't noticed how obvious the scar on her face was...

His chest suddenly felt like it was pierced through by a sharp sword. When Gu Shi breathed, he felt a dull pain in his heart.

"Does it still hurt?"

He wanted to touch the scar on Gu Xiaoxiao's face with trembling hands.

Before they even touched each other, Gu Xiaoxiao felt like she was scalded, and she huddled behind He Yue, trembling.

Her face was pale, and a weak plea for mercy escaped from her bloodless lips...

"Don't bite, Xiaoxiao hurts..."

Gu Shi wanted to pick up Gu Xiaoxiao out of heartache, but before he could touch her, Gu Xiaoxiao screamed and threw herself into He Yue's arms.

Gu Shi felt distressed and helpless, and could only ask Wang Ying to call a doctor.

Looking back, he saw Chen Shiliu standing there, looking worriedly at the direction where the wolfhound ran away, his eyes slightly gloomy.

After instructing Qin Shou to send someone to send He Yue and Gu Xiaoxiao back to Bishui Garden, he casually asked, "That beast was about to bite someone to death just now, why didn't you just finish it off with a sword?"

Chen Shiliu almost blurted out, "That's the dog raised by the princess."

After the words were spoken, not only Gu Shi was stunned, but even Chen Shiliu was stunned where he stood.

The beast rushed forward and nearly bit the prince, but he was not thinking about how to save the prince, but how to save the princess's dog...

Just as he was sweating profusely and thinking about how to make up his mind, Gu Shi had already walked away.

...

Pei Wang left Prince Rong's Mansion without thinking about what he had said about going back to the mansion to deal with something.

Instead, he knocked on the door and entered a small house in Yueya Lane.

"I've done what I was told. Where's the stuff?"

Pei Wang's attitude was not good.

That’s right. If you are being held in a position of power, there’s no way you can have a good attitude.

"Your Excellency is really impatient."

Shen Muxi was still checking the accounts. When she saw the uninvited guest, she didn't show any displeasure. Instead, she leaned back in her chair lazily.

"Besides this, I also want to ask you for something else. If you are willing to give it to me, then our cooperation will basically be complete. At that time, there will be no secrets between us."

This woman obviously wants to turn against us.

However, the thing was too important. Even though Pei Wang had already had the intention to kill, he had to suppress his temper under the eaves. "What is it?"

"The female corpse on Mulan Mountain."

When Pei Wang heard the words "Mulan Mountain", he instinctively felt alert.

When he heard Shen Muxi mention the female corpse, the coldness in his eyes almost became tangible.

"Who the hell are you?"

Shen Muxi stood up slowly and walked to Pei Wang with his hands behind his back. "Master Pei, can you see clearly? I am the one who cooperates with Master Pei."

She was only ten inches away from him, and Pei Wang could even smell the subtle fragrance coming from her...

Just as the throat lock was formed on his hand, he heard the woman's sneer, "If you don't want to live, you can just tell me directly. There is no need to strangle me."

"What's up? Didn't drink enough beauty tea a few days ago? Want to try something else today?"

When Pei Wang heard Shen Muxi mention the "beauty tea" from a few days ago, he felt his stomach, which had finally calmed down, start to rumble again.

His temple rolled slightly due to the clenching of his back teeth.

"Why do you want that female corpse?" This was his biggest concession.

Since you have to give it to him anyway, you should at least let him know what it’s for, right?

"Hasn't your progress on the Mulan Mountain female corpse case been stopped for a long time?" Shen Muxi smiled harmlessly. "I helped you to bring the Mulan Mountain female corpse case to the table again. Shouldn't you thank me?"

"Nonsense," Pei Wang denied Shen Muxi's statement without hesitation, "The case involved a lot of people, so it was blocked from many sides..."

How easy is it to put it back together again?

"Whether or not to give me the corpse of Mulan Mountain is up to you, my lord. Whether or not to get others to take this case seriously is my skill. Don't you want to see a good show of using your own spear to attack your own shield?"

Using your own spear to attack your own shield?

A thought flashed through Pei Wang's mind so quickly that Pei Wang couldn't catch it at all.

"Are you really planning to attack Gu Shi?"

Shen Muxi smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry about this, sir."

Since Gu Shi didn't believe that she was dead, she had no choice but to drag her body in front of him and let him accept the reality.

...

at the same time.

Bishuiyuan.

"Doctor, how is her health now?"

Gu Shi looked nervously at the old doctor who was taking Gu Xiaoxiao's pulse.

The old doctor stood up and bowed to Gu Shi before asking, "May I ask you a question? Has the young lady ever had a high fever before and didn't have time to see a doctor?"

When mentioning this incident, Gu Shi recalled his feelings towards Gu Xiaoxiao's nurse. He couldn't describe what he felt in his heart, he just felt that he wished he could find a crack to crawl into.

Facing the old doctor's earnest gaze, he was too embarrassed to say anything else, but in the end he could only bite the bullet and nod, "Yes."

"That's right," the old doctor stroked his mustache. "The young lady fainted because of a previous illness, coupled with malnutrition, insufficient blood circulation, and shock."

Gu Shi’s heart tightened, “…Is the problem serious?”

The old doctor shook his head. "All I can say is, take good care of yourself, and maybe you can live past eighteen."

Gu Shi’s eyes went dark and he staggered, almost falling. Chen Shiliu hurriedly supported him.

"My Lord, be careful."

Gu Shi pushed Chen Shiliu's hand away and looked at the doctor with red eyes, "Is there...is there no other way to let her live longer?"

The old doctor saluted towards Gu Shi with guilt, "Please forgive my poor medical skills."

After hearing what the old doctor said and seeing his daughter lying lifeless on the bed, Gu Shi felt upset.

He waved towards Chen Shiliu, who silently asked the old doctor to leave.

He Yue, Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Shi were the only ones left in the room.

Gu Shi lovingly brushed away the loose hair on Gu Xiaoxiao's temples, his mind full of the old doctor's words.

Only by taking good care of herself can she live to be eighteen. In other words, if anything goes wrong during these years, Xiaoxiao will not live past eighteen...

His poor daughter...

Halfway through his grief, he suddenly remembered the culprit who caused Xiaoxiao to faint.

He stood up from the bed and strode out, not forgetting to give orders to the beast along the way.

"Send someone to bring that dead dog to me."

...

Luoxia Garden.

"Snapped--"

A loud slap echoed in Luoxia Garden.

"Mom, why did you hit me?" Yu Yuexi covered her face, her red eyes filled with grievance.

"Who told you to touch that little bitch?"

After closing the door, Su Liuxi could no longer maintain her gentle and charming demeanor in front of others. She glared at Yu Yuexi as if she wanted to eat her alive.
