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

Shen Muxi had never seen such an ugly bracelet.

But when she heard Gu Shi say that he carved it himself.

She was still deeply moved.

The bracelet is crudely carved with a hibiscus flower.

Hibiscus, she knew.

In terms of love, it means eternal love.

She thought that he must have understood the meaning of this flower, which was why he was so creative.

At that time, she didn't know Gu Shi's true identity. She just thought that it didn't matter if a man couldn't make money, as long as he treated her well. She could endure hardship without money and earn...

Their days will get better.

After that, Xiaoxiao was born.

Although the old Princess of Rong County could be sarcastic occasionally, Shen Muxi could basically meet all the requests she put forward, so she was just sarcastic and did not act like she did at the beginning.

Their lives are becoming more and more promising.

She thought that their family would live happily and harmoniously.

Until people from the capital came with the imperial edict.

While she was still digesting the fact that Gu Shi was the prince of Rong, Gu Shi and the old princess of Rong had already boarded the carriage that came to the capital to pick them up.

Even those who had always been following Gu Shi and the old Princess Rong left with the group.

Before leaving, Gu Shi reluctantly picked up Xiaoxiao and said, "Xixi, going back now is still uncertain, so I'll go ahead. When everything is settled, I'll come and take you and Xiaoxiao back."

Shen Muxi is not a fool.

He could also understand the meaning of the imperial edict announced by the people from the capital.

When Gu Shi returned, he inherited the title.

The people around him were also rewarded.

If he had not known the consequences of his actions when he returned, he would not have taken the old Princess Rong and all the servants with him.

However, considering the bracelet he carved for her and his sincere words, she was willing to believe him this time.

Not only did she trust her, she even gave all her money to Gu Shi, fearing that after returning to Beijing, he would not have enough money to manage relationships and would be discriminated against...

result...

It turns out that she really doesn't have a very good eye for men.

Especially when she heard before her death that Su Liuxi had been "found" by Gu Shi, she said to Gu Shi in a coquettish tone, "Since you have already given my sister a token of love, why did you take such a big risk to take me in?"

Gu Shi was puzzled. "What token of love?"

"That wooden bracelet with hibiscus flowers carved on it." Su Liuxi persisted.

Gu Shi immediately realized, "Oh, that wooden bracelet. After I bought a brocade quilt for my mother, I happened to have a few taels of silver and two copper coins left. I thought two copper coins were too cheap, so I bought her a wooden bracelet at a roadside stall."

After saying this, he was afraid that Su Liuxi would get angry again, "Okay, you are like this now, I am really worried, don't get angry, okay?"

Only then did Su Liuxi obediently let Gu Shi pick her up.

Before leaving, he looked defiantly in the direction of her body.

She thought, Su Liuxi must know, she can still hear...

Until her last breath, she would still destroy her heart.

After becoming a ghost, Shen Muxi's thoughts gradually became clear.

After all, there were traces of Gu Shi's dislike for her in the past.

The most obvious thing is the wooden bracelet.

Gu Shi has always been accustomed to enjoying a comfortable life. How could a person who even felt tired of copying books take so much trouble to carve a wooden bracelet for her?

"...Brother Gu Shi has something to do, so go ahead and do it. I can go back by myself."

Su Liuxi's voice brought Shen Muxi back to his senses again.

Several people have already left the Treasure Pavilion at this time.

Returning to the carriage in the dark alley, Su Liuxi gave the brocade box to Cui'e, and leaned against Gu Shi's carriage with a weak and frail figure.

Gu Shi carried her to the carriage without explanation and said, "If you are tired, you shouldn't go back home by yourself. It's the same if I go back with you."

Su Yong couldn't see the interaction between the two people at the entrance of the alley.

Su Liuxi fell into Gu Shi's arms and whispered, "I just don't want you to be in a difficult situation. Now that my sister is not here, there are all kinds of rumors in the mansion. I think, even if I want to be with you, I have to move out of the Rongjun Palace."

Gu Shi's face darkened. "Before you got married, you were also a noble lady of the Su family. Who would dare to gossip about you?"

Shen Muxi found it funny watching from the side.

There is a clear distinction between love and not love.

Three months ago, she took Xiaoxiao back to Prince Rong's Mansion.

Most of the servants in the mansion are unfamiliar faces.

Gu Shi did not clearly state her identity, and everyone in the mansion thought that she had brought her daughter here deliberately to curry favor with the rich and powerful.

When she told Gu Shi about this, what did Gu Shi say?

Oh, right.

He said, "Rumors stop at the wise. The fact that you are my wife and daughter will not change no matter what others say. If you are so petty and insist on harping on this little thing, you will only lose your dignity as the mistress of the Prince's Mansion."

Listen, what a bunch of high-sounding reasons.

Being a peasant, working from sunrise to sunset, is not dignified.

There is no dignity in writing and selling calligraphy and paintings on the street.

Now that I'm back, my dignity has returned with me.

Mistress?

Although she came from the modern era, she knew that the mistress of a mansion was responsible for managing the household expenses.

But the old Princess Rong had no intention of giving her power, and Gu Shi hadn't mentioned anything about registering Xiaoxiao in the family tree...

The first day back home.

Su Liuxi was like a hostess, and together with Gu Shi, she smiled and took the servants to deliver new clothes to her and Xiaoxiao.

The new clothes in the mansion were all made of silk and satin. She had been doing rough labor for many years, and her hands were no longer as delicate as those of ordinary women.

I accidentally touched the satin and it got snagged.

She clearly sensed the disgust and impatience in his eyes, but she still suppressed her anger and said to the servants in front of Su Liuxi, "From now on, there's no need to send these soft materials over. They're not used to wearing them."

This is what I said...

It was as if she and Xiaoxiao were born inferior.

But at that time, she really needed this recognition and didn't understand the meaning of his words.

After similar things happened several times.

The servants became increasingly indifferent to the mother and daughter.

She couldn't bear it any longer and found Gu Shi again.

Gu Shi said, "Every master has a different temper. Servants are trembling with fear and only want to do their job well. In a moment of nervousness, it is inevitable that they may not take care of their servants properly. As a master, don't be too picky with your servants."

Now that I think about it, this isn't a question of whether to care or not. It's clearly that he thinks she and her mother are not a good match.

Not worthy of taking up space in his Prince's Mansion...

Only worthy of the hard days before...

Until the day she died, the servants in the mansion still looked down on her and Xiaoxiao in secret.

If he had had the courage to support Su Liuxi during those three months, she and her mother would not have had such a hard time in Prince Rong's Mansion.

He's clearly become a ghost.

But when I think about my daughter being so sick that no one dared to call a doctor for her, and even after she became deaf, she was bullied in various ways...

The pain in Shen Muxi's heart only increased.
