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

No one noticed Shen Muxi, who had floated in front of Gu Xiaoxiao with a look of devastation on his face.

At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao had her back to Gu Shi, her little face was dirty, her little mouth was tightly pursed, as if she was very wary of everything in the outside world.

Perhaps because they were afraid that others would discover that there was something wrong with Gu Xiaoxiao's hand, the dislocated part had been reconnected, and there was no apparent abnormality.

Shen Muxi couldn't touch Gu Xiaoxiao and had no idea whether her hand was healed or not.

The old princess continued to criticize Gu Shi.

"I told you long ago that now that we're back at Prince Rong's Mansion, we're meeting ladies from high-ranking families, so don't bring that mother and daughter back, but you just wouldn't listen.

Children raised by untouchables are always petty. They have their own independent yard, but they come to their grandmother's house to steal food. If this gets out, what kind of talk is that? "

Mrs. Shu beside the old princess echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty, you don't know that the young lady is now so arrogant that she even stole the old lady's bird's nest porridge.

When the old lady asked her questions, she didn't say a word and didn't let the servants get close. Look, when the servants brought her up, she was still holding on to the bowl of porridge tightly, this..."

Gu Shi looked at Gu Xiaoxiao's clothes that were so dirty that they reflected light, and disgust flashed in his eyes.

"Is there no one in the yard to take care of her?"

Shen Muxi wanted her daughter to use self-torture to attract his attention, but she went too far.

"Why not?" Mrs. Shu replied quickly, "No matter what, the young lady is your daughter, and the lady has suffered a lot with you in Danyang. How could the old princess love her daughter so much that she wouldn't have arranged for someone to take care of her in the courtyard?

But later on, the Madam said she was not used to having someone waiting on her, and she insisted on moving to the most remote courtyard in the mansion. Although the old princess felt sorry for the young lady, she considered that if she disobeyed the Madam's wishes, it would make things difficult for you, so in the end she had no choice but to let her go..."

"You are lying!!"

Shen Muxi retorted fiercely.

"It was you who said you would let Xiaoxiao and I live in the corner yard first, and then find a tutor to teach us etiquette. You also warned us not to run around, otherwise it would be the face of Prince Rong..."

She complained at the top of her lungs.

Unfortunately, no one heard her.

"...Don't let the relationship between mother and son become strained."

Here, after Mrs. Shu finished speaking, she tapped her fingers lightly on the back of her hand.

When Princess Rong saw Mrs. Shu's gesture, her expression eased a little.

His tone was not as harsh as before. "You know, the way the Shen family raises their daughters is different from ours. Plus, Xiaoxiao has lived in the countryside since she was a child, so it's normal for her to feel uncomfortable after returning."

Mrs. Shu continued, "Yes, Your Majesty, you don't know, ever since that person left the house, the old princess has been worried about Miss Xiaoxiao. But Miss Xiaoxiao has a lonely personality, and the old lady can't do anything about it."

"Forget it this time. After all, he is the blood of my Rong Junwang. It's just bird's nest porridge. I'll ask the kitchen to make it again later."

"Old Princess," Mrs. Shu looked at the old Princess Rong with heartache, "You have been practicing frugality since you came back. You said you wanted the small kitchen to cook again, but how could you possibly be willing to do that?"

"Since Xiaoxiao has eaten it, it won't be wasted."

The old Princess Rong waved her hand magnanimously. "That's just the nature of children. They always think they can attract adults' attention by doing something out of the ordinary. But it's just like a jealous girl, losing her dignity without realizing it."

This old guy is frugal?

Shen Muxi fell down and sat down beside Gu Xiaoxiao, looking at the old Princess Rong with a sneer.

If her soul could reach the old woman, she would have wanted to grab her collar and slap her twice.

So that new and old grudges can be settled together.

"Gu Shi, who is your mother? Don't you know it yourself?"

Is a woman who, even after falling into poverty, still uses a thousand-dollar soft silk gauze to make bed curtains frugal?

At that time, the entire Rongjun Prince's Mansion was exiled.

Although as royal relatives, they do not need to do dangerous work such as mining like other exiled criminals.

But having to rely on oneself for everything is enough to overwhelm these "nobles" who have been living a life of luxury.

Otherwise, Gu Shi would not have been so upset that he wanted to commit suicide because Princess Rong demanded a bed of flowery satin.

After falling in love with Gu Shi and getting married.

The burden of supporting Prince Rong's Mansion seemed to fall on her all of a sudden.

In order to make a foot of bed curtains for the old Princess of Rong, Shen Muxi went to the lotus pond with others day and night in the summer to pick lotus leaves, extract lotus root silk and grind ink; in the autumn, he went into the mountains to cut pine trees, squeeze tung oil and make grinding ingots; in the winter, he got up early and sold breakfast everywhere.

In order to support the Rongjun Prince's family, she disguised herself as a man and mingled with various merchants...

The dignity of the Rongjun Prince's Mansion returning to the capital was earned by her, penny by penny!

Why do they treat Xiaoxiao with such a condescending attitude?

Gu Shi lowered his head in shame, "It's my fault for not raising my daughter well, and I've caused trouble for my mother."

Princess Rong went to great lengths to do this just to make Gu Shi bow down to her.

Now that her goal had been achieved, she was very pleased and nodded to Gu Shi, "Let's go back."

Gu Shi gave Zhuifeng a look, and Zhuifeng quickly picked up Gu Xiaoxiao, who had woken up at some point with half-open eyes, and left.

When he picked up Gu Xiaoxiao, he clearly felt that something was wrong with her hanging right hand.

Thinking about how her right hand was dislocated by the prince a few days ago, it was very likely that no one cared about it until now.

Zhuifeng looked at her distressedly, "Little Miss, how do you feel now?"

Gu Xiaoxiao ignored Zhuifeng, her half-closed eyes staring blankly at the sky without any reaction.

Gu Shi snorted coldly, "She won't live a good life if she's given one. Let her go to the woodshed and reflect on herself for a few days."

"Your Majesty, there's something wrong with the young lady. She..."

"What could be wrong?" Gu Shi interrupted impatiently. "If it were an ordinary child, faced with this situation, she would have burst into tears and asked for help from adults. Look at her. She hasn't said a word yet. If she's not guilty, what is she?"

As if he wanted to vent all the anger he had endured from Pei Wang, Gu Shi's tone became even more vicious. "We're all children. How come Yueyue is so well-behaved and sensible, while she always causes trouble for me every other day! Mother was right. I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and brought them back."

Shen Muxi followed Zhuifeng all the time and looked at her daughter with heartache.

If Gu Shi could look at his daughter a few more times, he would be able to see the dried tear marks on her face and the deep fear hidden in her lifeless eyes.

But he didn't.

Not only that, he even said those heartbreaking words in front of Xiaoxiao...

Shen Muxi only felt waves of pain in his heart.

She clutched her chest in pain and yelled at Gu Shi, "Gu Shi, do you have no heart?!"

No.

He has lost his heart a long time ago.

If he had cared, how could he ignore Xiaoxiao to such an extent?

Shen Muxi's voice seemed to come to his ears again. Gu Shi stopped irritably and ordered Zhuifeng, "Don't follow me. Arrange it according to my instructions."

Zhuifeng hesitated, "But..."

The little lady seems to have a low temperature...

"Okay, I know my limits. I want to send her to the woodshed just to lure Shen Muxi out. Nothing will happen."

"But..."

"Chasing the Wind!!"

Gu Shi's face suddenly darkened.

The words that were on the tip of Zhuifeng's tongue were swallowed back.

He was afraid that his master would get really angry and transfer him away.

Then the young lady would be left truly helpless.

After putting Gu Xiaoxiao down in the woodshed.

Zhuifeng was really worried about her condition.

Without caring whether she could hear him or not, he whispered, "Young lady, can you hear me now? I'm going to find a doctor for you. You should rest well first, and I'll bring you a set of clean clothes when I come back."

Don't run around here, okay?"

After saying that, Zhuifeng took out a small bag of cakes from his arms.

This was something he bought fresh every day and carried with him, just to find an opportunity to give it to Gu Xiaoxiao.

The pastries were finally delivered today after a different day.

When Gu Xiaoxiao saw the pastries, her eyes suddenly brightened.

She wanted to laugh, but her mouth and throat hurt.

She couldn't laugh.

When Zhuifeng left, the woodshed was not locked.

He walked so fast that he didn't notice that her slightly open mouth was covered in blood and flesh.
