Shen Muxi originally thought that Gu Shi left the main courtyard to visit his daughter.
Unexpectedly, he left the house and went straight to the Treasure Pavilion.
Su Liuxi and another young man had already been waiting in front of the Treasure Pavilion.
The two seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
The moment he saw the young man, Shen Muxi felt his blood run cold.
It was as if she had returned to the night before her death, when the man had roughly torn her pants...
"Brother Gu."
The young man seemed to be very familiar with Gu Shi.
He walked forward to greet him with a smile.
Gu Shi smiled at him, "Brother Yong is here?"
"Brother Gu Shi, just call him Su Yong. Calling him that is too intimate. This kid will become lawless again."
Su Liuxi walked to Su Yong and looked at Gu Shi with a smile.
The emotions in his eyes are vague.
Gu Shi's smile deepened. "Since Brother Yong is your cousin, he is naturally my half-brother. There is no need to be too formal between relatives."
Several people talked and laughed as they entered the Treasure Pavilion.
It was not until they went up to the third floor of the Treasure Pavilion and asked the shopkeeper to personally bring out the jewelry for Su Liuxi to choose, that Shen Muxi realized that Gu Shi was buying jewelry for Su Liuxi again.
Moreover, it was a piece of jewelry that was more exquisitely crafted and looked more expensive than the hairpin in her hair.
Su Liuxi refused, "Brother Gu Shi, we agreed to come here to buy pearl flowers, why did you ask the shopkeeper to send such expensive jewelry?"
"Since it was Xiaoxiao who broke Yueyue's pearl flower, I should buy a new one for Yueyue." Perhaps because of the mention of Gu Xiaoxiao or Yu Yuexi, Gu Shi's face, which originally had a bit of coldness, now had a bit more gentleness.
Su Liuxi blamed herself, "It's my fault. I didn't think about staying at Prince Rong's mansion for a while, and when I bought the pearl flowers for Yueyue, I forgot to buy some for Xiaoxiao."
"Life is unpredictable. You didn't expect Yu Hong to suddenly get into trouble." Gu Shi's gentle expression gradually turned cold. "Xiaoxiao inherited her mother's domineering temper. She grew up in the countryside and is unruly. You shouldn't bother with her."
Because Su Yong was the one who cut off her tongue and peeled her face alive.
So even though Shen Muxi became a ghost, the fear of Su Yong was still engraved in his bones.
However, after hearing Gu Shi's words, Shen Muxi's anger was greater than her fear, and she laughed out of anger. "Yeah, even if your Bai Yueguang's daughter poops and pees on your head, you still have to give her a thumbs up and praise her for pooping well in front of your Bai Yueguang. You don't love Xiaoxiao. In your eyes, Xiaoxiao is wrong to even breathe."
She was not unaware of Gu Shi's double standards.
As early as the first few days after returning home, when Gu Shi had no time to visit Xiaoxiao, but had time to accompany Yu Yuexi to fly kites and go for an outing, she expected that Gu Shi would definitely not treat Xiaoxiao as well as before.
But she didn't expect that as a father, Gu Shi could actually do such a thing as belittling his own daughter to win the favor of another woman...
Such a person...
How can such a person be qualified to be a father?
When Shen Muxi was so angry that his soul and body were unstable, Su Liuxi spoke.
"But I heard that Xiaoxiao went to the old princess's place to secretly eat bird's nest porridge today. I think she's still upset about you helping Yueyue out a few days ago. Why don't we not buy the pearl flowers for now? Let's buy some other small things first. Coaxing Xiaoxiao back is more important than anything else."
Although she said this, Su Liuxi's lowered eyes never left the jade hairpins and jade bracelets on the soft satin.
Shen Muxi sneered repeatedly, "Just keep pretending, your eyeballs are about to pop out, only a fool like Gu Shi could be fooled by you."
Gu Shi turned his head and glanced in the direction of Shen Muxi.
Shen Muxi turned around and glared at him, as if she was used to it.
The heavens were blind, and no thunderbolt struck down this pair of scumbags and bitches...
She was really unwilling to do so.
"Brother Gu Shi, what's wrong with you?"
Su Liuxi called out to Gu Shi weakly.
Gu Shi turned back and said, "Nothing."
He didn't dare tell Su Liuxi that he had been having a strange feeling these past few days...
I always feel like I'm being watched by something...
Looking up and seeing Su Liuxi's reserved expression, he softened his tone, "Xiaoxiao's personality is like her mother's. She wants to fight for everything.
Since you are temporarily staying in Prince Rong's Mansion, you are the distinguished guests of Prince Rong's Mansion. You don't have to accommodate her in every way, and you don't have to worry.
This incident at Ronghui Hall can be considered a lesson for her. If we don’t properly control her temper now, it will be even more difficult to control her in the future.”
After saying that, he called the shopkeeper over and gave him instructions despite Su Liuxi's refusal.
"Pack up this jade bracelet and this jade hairpin. Also, do you have any pearl head ornaments suitable for a seven or eight-year-old girl? If so, please send them over as well."
The shopkeeper on the third floor's eyes lit up.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Soon, he returned to the compartment with two more trays wrapped in red brocade.
"Please look, my Lord, this is our
"Alright, thanks to the prince for taking care of me, two jade hairpins, an imperial green jade bracelet, and a set of white silver and yellow jade beaded headpieces. After deducting the extra money, the total is 13,200 taels."
Gu Shi paid the banknote without hesitation.
It seemed that buying such precious jewelry was as easy as breathing for her.
Shen Muxi laughed at himself.
It is obvious that I can remain calm when facing Gu Shi.
But when she saw him spending a huge amount of money on Su Liuxi, her heart couldn't help but twitch.
Thirteen thousand two hundred taels.
She worked day and night grinding ink, and earned only a little over a hundred taels a month.
If they were in Danyang, this amount of money would have been enough for them to spend for a lifetime.
He was so carefree, buying things for other women...
"Brother Gu Shi, this...this is too expensive." Su Liuxi was still hesitant.
Gu Shi grabbed her hand and pressed the exquisite brocade box into hers. "Since it's a gift for you, there's no need to refuse. After all, it's the jealous woman Shen who is at fault. She could do such a shameless thing as snatching your hairpin, but I can't ignore the reputation of the Rongjun Prince's Mansion."
After all, he just couldn't bear to see Su Liuxi suffer any injustice.
Su Liuxi's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Gu Shi with emotion, "Brother Gu Shi, you are just too sentimental."
Gu Shi did not deny it.
Su Liuxi's voice trembled as she spoke softly, "Then... I will consider this jade bracelet and hairpin as a token of love from you, Brother Gu Shi."
Her voice was very soft, so soft that only Gu Shi could hear it.
Her tone was also very cautious, as if this was just a cautious test from a young girl in love.
Although the girl is no longer young and is already a mother.
But in Gu Shi's eyes, she was as pure as she was in her youth.
Therefore, although he was shocked, he did not deny her inappropriate remarks.
This is unbridled favoritism.
Seeing the so-called "token of love" in Su Liuxi's hand.
Shen Muxi felt that dedicating her short life to this man was simply a joke.
When we first met in Danyang.
Gu Shi originally could only make a living by writing letters for others.
The whole family in Prince Rong's mansion was too weak to do anything, and they often had no food to eat. In addition, the old Princess Rong would act up and get angry from time to time, which often made Gu Shi and his confidants miserable.
Then she showed up.
The two know each other and love each other.
There was no banquet. The two of them simply worshipped heaven and earth in front of the yellow mud and thatched house which was so simple that it didn't even have a decent window. The old Princess Rong drank a cup of stale tea and left two copper coins. The ceremony was considered complete.
After marrying Gu Shi, she worked non-stop all year round, and the family's conditions gradually improved.
But she was worried that she had never received a gift from Gu Shi.
She had hinted to Gu Shi countless times, "Men and women must have a token of love to be truly together, and only then will they have beautiful memories in the future."
What he got in return was Gu Shi's impatient cold eyes, "You know that my family is broke, and you still ask me for a token of love. How is this different from humiliating me?
What I admire is your unworldly innocence. When did you become as vulgar as ordinary women in the world? "
Seeing the impatience and disgust in his eyes and eyebrows, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth: "But we are all ordinary people who eat grains and cereals. We are not worldly. How can I make money and how can you solve the problem of food and clothing?"
Before she traveled through time and space and came here, she was neglected by her family for many years.
She was so lonely, so lonely that even someone could coax her away by giving her a piece of candy.
Not to mention that after coming here, Gu Shi was the first person she met and the first person to take the initiative to share half of a steamed bun with her.
She loved him, depended on him, and was so afraid of losing him.
So, since that time, she never mentioned the token of love again.
Later, maybe I felt that she was unhappy.
One day, he suddenly gave her a crudely carved wooden bracelet.
With blushing ears, he told her that this was their token of love.
