Mrs. Cui, who was following Yu Yuexi, noticed something was wrong and quickly advised, "Miss, we don't know when the prince will be back. We have to be careful and not get anyone killed."

Yu Yuexi was fearless. "What's there to be afraid of? Uncle Gu wants to be my father anyway. As long as my mother is around, Uncle Gu will definitely not be willing to punish me."

Besides, my mother also said that there are some things that you don’t need to do yourself.

Today she wanted to test the status of this little bastard in the heart of the old hag in Prince Rong's mansion.

If the old hag doesn't care about this little bastard.

It was only a matter of time before she killed the little bastard.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the dirty Gu Xiaoxiao, and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes. She instructed Mrs. Cui, "Sister Xiaoxiao looks very hungry. Go and take her to eat something good."

Mrs. Cui was still a little hesitant. "Miss Xiaoxiao is the old lady's granddaughter after all. What if the old lady saw her like this..."

"Why are you talking so much?" Yu Yuexi interrupted Mrs. Cui impatiently, "Are you going or not? If not, I will tell Uncle Gu that you colluded with this little bitch to bully me."

"Oh, my ancestors, don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Cui slapped her thigh in annoyance.

All the servants in the Prince's Mansion could clearly see how much Prince Rong loved Miss Yuexi.

If Miss Yuexi is unhappy, even her own daughter will have to stand aside.

Yu Yuexi confidently played with the exquisite pearl flower in her hair, "Whatever I say, it depends on whether Madam can do it."

Mrs. Cui gritted her teeth and said, "I will obey your orders, young lady."

The young lady has said so much. If she continues to persuade her, she will become the fish that is affected.

Yu Yuexi sneered and put her foot down.

Mrs. Cui leaned over and helped Gu Xiaoxiao up.

The little person became so thin in just a few days that he was just skin and bones. He was so light that he was almost weightless when he was held in my arms.

My right hand was dislocated and has not been straightened yet. It is probably useless.

All the fingers on my left hand except the thumb were bruised and swollen.

This child probably won't grow up.

Mrs. Cui sighed secretly and inexplicably felt a trace of sympathy.

After looking at Gu Xiaoxiao with pity, she followed Yu Yuexi's instructions and took Gu Xiaoxiao to a place where they could "eat".

Can't blame her.

She also has a granddaughter...

...

Yizhuang.

Gu Shi looked coldly at Pei Wang who stopped him from turning back.

"Master Pei, what does this mean?"

"Don't misunderstand, Prince Rong," Pei Wang said with a smile on his face. "It's mainly because the gate of Your Highness's residence is difficult to enter, so this humble official resorted to this last resort. Since Your Highness is here, why not check to see if the body lying inside is an old acquaintance?"

"nonsense."

Gu Shi swung his sleeves in anger, "As the Minister of the Supreme Court, you neglected your duties and teased your colleagues. What is your intention?"

"The Mulan Mountain case was originally handled by the Jingji Prefecture Office, but it involved the Yueyaao banditry. Now, the patrol battalion has directly alerted the Dali Temple. Prince Rong still thinks this is just a simple homicide?"

Pei Wang's smile faded and his tone became cold and serious.

Gu Shi lost his confidence and couldn't help but frown, "What do you want to say?"

"Our people found a wooden bracelet and a hairpin on the female corpse found in Mulan Mountain. All clues point to the Rongjun Prince's Mansion. We suspect that the female corpse is inextricably linked to the Rongjun Prince's Mansion..."

Before Pei Wang could finish, Gu Shi interrupted impatiently, "We have many servants in the Rong County Prince's Mansion. It's not reasonable for the master to collect the body of a timid slave who has died."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave again.

The guard behind Pei Wang stepped forward to block Gu Shi's steps.

"you..."

Gu Shi was furious as he met Pei Wang's cold eyes and the curve of his lips that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

An inexplicable feeling of oppression came over him, so he had to pinch his nose and follow Pei Wang's instructions, walking to the only corpse covered with white cloth in the charity cemetery.

Even though the late spring weather in the capital was cool, the body was covered with wounds and had been washed by rain.

At this time, the corpse had turned into a giant, showed signs of decay, and emitted a foul odor.

There were many flies densely packed on the white cloth.

The stench was so strong that Gu Shi couldn't open his eyes.

He casually lifted the white cloth, glanced at it casually, and denied it directly, "I don't have a servant of this size in my house."

"The corpse has been swollen by the rain and is twice the size of an ordinary person."

Pei Wang explained calmly, with no intention of letting Gu Shi leave.

Gu Shi gritted his teeth, "What exactly do you want?"

"Identify the body." Pei Wang refused to give in.

Just when the two were at a stalemate.

A bailiff from the Dali Temple came jogging, wiping the sweat from his face.

"Sir, just now someone from Prince Rong's mansion went to the Dali Temple to look for Prince Rong. They said that his wife was frightened and wanted to ask the Prince to go back."

Pei Wang did not hide anything when he walked with Gu Shi.

Just ask a little and you will know where Gu Shi is.

Hundreds of good filial piety first.

Gu Shi did not commit any crime, but the elders in the mansion were frightened and had to return home, so Pei Wang had no reason to force him to stay.

He could only watch Gu Shi raise his eyebrows at him smugly and leave.

Not until Gu Shi’s back disappeared did Pei Wang look at Du Zhong beside him.

"Have someone keep a close eye on Prince Rong's Mansion at all times."

"Yes." Du Zhong responded and retreated.

Shen Muxi stayed by Gu Shi's side from beginning to end, watching Pei Wang force Gu Shi to identify the body.

The moment she knew that Pei Wang had people keep a close eye on Prince Rong's Mansion, she couldn't help but look at Pei Wang twice more.

The man was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with delicate features. At first glance, he looked like a girl dressed as a man.

But what he did was not at all delicate.

Because just as she was about to be "sucked" away by Gu Shi, she saw with her own eyes that man named Pei Wang raised his hand and cut the neck of an assassin who wanted to break into the charity cemetery...

...

The current emperor governs the country with filial piety.

What I despise most are those who are unfilial.

So after Gu Shi returned home, he rushed to Ronghui Hall without any delay.

As soon as he stepped into Ronghui Hall, he smelled a strange odor.

It's like a beggar on the street who hasn't taken a bath for many days.

I couldn't help but frown.

Look up.

A thin black thing was curled up on the bed, and next to it was a broken porcelain bowl.

The Princess of Old Rong was sitting in the main seat with a bright look on her face.

Only when she saw Gu Shi step into the front hall did she glance at the small figure curled up on the ground with disgust.

"Look at what that bitch gave birth to."

Shen Muxi recognized the figure that was as weak and thin as paper at a glance, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

“Xiao Xiao!!”
