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

The way Kang gave Shen Mu the silver hairpin was naturally taught to her by Gu Shi.

So when Shen Muxi happily brought back the silver hairpin given to her by Kang, Gu Shi told Shen Muxi the words he had prepared long ago.

"I've always said that my mother is just hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. She's just used to being high and mighty, so she doesn't know how to get along with others."

"Yes," Shen Muxi had no doubt, "My mother-in-law approves of me, I must not let her down."

Gu Shi gently embraced her in his arms, "This time, mother has been generous and forgiven you, but as a daughter-in-law, you are a junior after all. You must not be so willful in the future."

Shen Muxi nodded obediently, "I was just anxious, after all, the child..."

Gu Shi frowned slightly and interrupted impatiently, "I have a share in the child, don't I feel bad? But it's also for our future. After all, when the child is born, we still need our mother's help to raise it so that we can go out and earn some money. Otherwise, what will the whole family eat and drink?"

"You're right, I'm too superficial and only see what's in front of me."

Since that day, Shen Muxi never complained again, and even worked harder than before.

Four months later, after two days and one night of agony, she finally gave birth to a fair and tender daughter.

Although the child was as thin as a little monkey, his cry was loud.

She was obviously delighted.

She had just changed her clothes after giving birth, and even before the smell of blood in the delivery room had dissipated, she asked Gu Shi to help her choose a name.

Gu Shi looked at the wrinkled little baby in front of him, and then saw the pain she had suffered during childbirth. What he thought of was Su Liuxi who was far away in Kyoto. Did she also suffer the same pain when she gave birth to her daughter a year ago?

Even someone as tough as Shen Muxi almost lost half his life when giving birth to a child.

Xixi is so fragile, and giving birth is so difficult, isn't it...

Every time he thought of this, Gu Shi wished he could gallop to Su Liuxi and take a good look at her and her daughter.

The crying of the baby in front of him brought Gu Shi back to reality.

He is still in exile.

I can't go back to Beijing without permission...

Looking at Shen Muxi taking the child from his hands and feeding her, Gu Shi suddenly felt a surge of guilt towards Su Liuxi from the bottom of his heart.

They were childhood sweethearts.

Now, he has a child with another woman...

Shen Muxi's voice brought him back to his senses.

"...Have you thought of a name for your daughter?"

He responded randomly.

"I've decided, let's call her Xiaoxiao."

Xiaoxiao, pronounced the same as Xixi, means "small bamboo". If he can meet Xixi and her child one day, he will ask Xiaoxiao to be humble in front of Xixi's child and let Xiaoxiao put Xixi's child first in everything; after all, the word "Xiao" also means small bamboo.

For a moment, he actually hoped that his daughter would not exist in this world and would remain as a small bamboo forever.

The explanation for Shen Muxi is, "Xiaoxiao means innocent and cute. I hope that our daughter can be smart and always be the apple of our eye."

Shen Muxi was obviously moved by his words, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"My daughter will definitely become the apple of our eyes."

Her voice rose in tone, and she clearly had great hope for the future.

Gu Shi didn't dare tell her that the moment she found out she had given birth to a daughter, her mother directly threatened her not to expect to send the child to her lap for upbringing.

The child of a lowly servant is not worthy.

In Kang's view, Shen had already given birth to a child and could not escape.

She no longer needs to be as "kind" as before and "please" Shen Muxi from time to time.

Therefore, before Shen Muxi finished her confinement, Kang gave her all kinds of cold looks.

They used all kinds of methods to urge her to go out and earn money.

She was not allowed to leave the child at home.

So that she wouldn't have a headache from the child crying.

Gu Shi saw all of this.

But he didn't see any problem.

Putting himself in his mother's shoes, he could understand why his mother hated babies. Sometimes, Gu Xiaoxiao's crying also made him very annoyed.

He could better understand the feeling of wanting a grandson. No matter whether it was ordinary people or wealthy families, they would definitely want more grandsons.

If you think about it more deeply, even his mother, who is so easy to talk to her own people, is dissatisfied because Shen Muxi gave birth to a daughter. It is conceivable what kind of hard life Xixi is living in Kyoto.

Xixi was originally sentimental, and compared with Shen Muxi who was becoming increasingly tough and smooth around him, he even began to feel a little disgusted with Shen Muxi.

But he didn't mind her giving him money.

Thanks to Shen Muxi's efforts, Gu Shi had some extra money.

He began to save money and take care of the former servants of the Su Mansion in the capital.

After knowing that the Su Mansion was not as simple as it seemed, he got in touch with the Su Mansion because of his old relationship with Su Liuxi.

Finally, when Gu Xiaoxiao was three years old, Gu Shi got a chance to claim the credit for someone else's work.

He was a chief academic officer of the Imperial College.

When the emperor was about to be assassinated on his birthday, he blocked the knife for the emperor and died on the spot.

The people from the Su Mansion bribed the Imperial Guards and the imperial physicians, forged the entry and exit documents from Danyang to the capital, concealed the truth, and put the credit on Gu Shi.

Gu Shi waited and waited, but no news came from Kyoto.

A few days later, news about Su Liuxi came from Kyoto.

He had only read half of the content of the letter when another stall set up next to him was smashed up by people who came to cause trouble.

Gu Shi suffered an unexpected disaster.

While dodging those people, the half-read letter fell to the ground and was about to be chopped by a knife. He rushed forward regardless and took a heavy blow.

His letters were saved, but his hand was disabled.

That day.

It was the first time he saw Shen Muxi cry.

Because of his injured hand.

In order to help his hand recover as soon as possible, Shen Muxi was busy during the day to make a living, and at night she had to carry her daughter to the mountains to look for herbs to heal her bones.

Thanks to her careful care, his right hand was saved.

While recuperating at home, Gu Shi was not idle either.

He continued to use the money he had squeezed out of Shen Muxi to smooth over relationships in Kyoto.

It was not until almost half of the people in the capital knew that Gu Shi had married a commoner wife in Danyang and had a daughter that the emperor decided to accept Gu Shi back.

That year, Gu Xiaoxiao was five years old.

It’s not that he hadn’t thought about taking Shen Muxi with him when he returned to Beijing.

But what his mother told him was not wrong. Shen Muxi and her daughter were commoners. They lived like fish in water in a place like Danyang. It was conceivable how crude their living habits were.

When I returned to Kyoto, I met those shrewd people. If I was not careful, I would end up making a fool of myself.

So, he racked his brains and finally found a reason not to take Shen Muxi back to Kyoto.

"Xiaoxiao is still young, so it's not suitable for her to travel long distances. Besides, I don't know whether this trip back to Beijing will bring good or bad luck. You and Xiaoxiao should wait for me here. I'll send someone to pick you up after I get back to Beijing and settle down."

He had already prepared for Shen Muxi's opposition and had also prepared another set of arguments.

Unexpectedly, Shen Muxi nodded and agreed so easily.

He also gave him all the silver he had.

"When you return to the capital, you'll meet high-ranking officials and nobles, and sometimes you'll need to smooth things over. Keep the silver with you."

Finally, with a worried look on her face, she asked him to pay attention to the old injury on his hand.

Gu Shi was once again thankful that he had acted in time and grabbed Shen Muxi as a life-saving straw.

When they left, they took everything with them, and sold anything that was inconvenient to carry on the road.

From beginning to end, Shen Muxi just took Gu Xiaoxiao to watch as the things in the house were moved out one by one.

Gu Shi had considered that if Shen Muxi was really so well-behaved, he could give her a new status after returning to the capital.

But as soon as the idea came out, it was immediately rejected by Kang.

"After returning to Kyoto from Danyang, you will be the Prince of Rong. Everything that Shen, Gu Xiaoxiao, and you experienced in Danyang will be a stain on your life. How will you survive in Kyoto in the future?"

Gu Shi suddenly realized that what Kang said made a lot of sense.

Those years in Danyang were dark for him.

The mother and daughter did bring him emotional value, but it was far less than the fingers of Xixi and her daughter.

Before he returned to Beijing, he received a letter from Xixi, saying that she was not living well in the Yu family and had discovered the family's secrets. Now she was trying to find a way to leave the Yu family...

After arriving in Kyoto, Gu Shi was obsessed with rescuing Su Liuxi as soon as possible, and he was busy for more than three months.

It was not until the emperor mentioned that he had a wife and children in Danyang and intended to confer an imperial decree on his wife who had never left him that he suddenly remembered that there was a mother and daughter waiting for him in Danyang.

He took the initiative to use the imperial decree that was originally intended for Shen Muxi as a condition for rescuing Su Liuxi.

He assured the emperor that he would always be loyal to Shen Muxi, and only then did the emperor nod.

In order to protect Su Liuxi and her daughter, he brought Shen Muxi back.

After all, Xiaoxiao is his daughter no matter what. It is really inappropriate for the daughter of the dignified Prince Rong to be wandering around outside.

He thought that she would give up after knowing his identity.

Unexpectedly, she still wanted to regard herself as the legal wife when she was in Danyang.

Mother is right, Shen is just too greedy.

He thought that as a husband, he had done his best to ask Xixi, who was also a woman, to choose new fabrics for her to make clothes after she brought her daughter home.

Unexpectedly, her rough hands actually scratched the new fabric.

Not only Xixi was stunned on the spot, but he was also confused.

Was she reminding him of the suffering he had endured in Danyang over the years when he was with her?

He was already trying his best to tolerate her unreasonable behavior.

She, on the other hand, became even more domineering in the mansion and bullied Xixi and her mother, making the first move to complain.

Later, he even dared to interfere with Xixi.

It had only been a short time since Xixi's divorce, and she had already suggested that Xixi and her daughter move out of Prince Rong's Mansion. How could she live with herself like this?

He just refuted her a few words, but she actually ran away from home.

He even colluded with Pei Wang and others without knowing where they were.

He didn't even care when Xiaoxiao was sick.

He had never seen such a cruel mother.

At that time, he was really angry.

However, as time went on, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

Because, considering how much Shen Muxi has valued her daughter in recent years, no matter how angry she is, it is impossible for her to just abandon her daughter at home.

He began to miss her.

However, it turns out.

After returning to the capital, she had not made any achievements except disappointing him.

Just as his sympathy was aroused, she took her daughter away with her adulterer...

Reason told him that he should give her a chance to live.

Can...

It was clearly she who started it, so it would be fair for him to say the end.

Perhaps, it was because of this obsession that she had no chance to let go.

after that.

After a series of events, he realized how deep his misunderstanding of her was.

He wanted to make up.

But he didn't know where to find them.

Inexplicably.

He panicked.

Even he himself didn't know where this panic came from.

He thought that he might really have fallen in love with Shen Muxi.

It was also at that time that he decided that once he found Shen Muxi, he would give her a real status as the Prince of Rong.

Maybe it was God's mercy that moved him with his sincerity.

After he had been searching for someone for a while.

He finally learned that the mother and daughter were stranded in Nanyuan.

To this end, he spent a lot of money to find someone to bring them back.

Even if only Xiaoxiao came back, he firmly believed that Shen Muxi must be watching somewhere where he couldn't see.

She values ​​her daughter most.

He knows.

as predicted.

Not long after, he met her again in Kyoto.

Unfortunately, no matter how he persuaded her, she wouldn't appreciate it. There were times when he felt that he must have been too nice to her, which was why she was so overbearing.

Fortunately, Xiaoxiao is here.

She can't run away.

Ever since she returned home, a voice in his head told him that he could no longer tolerate her so unprincipled.

But another voice reminded him: her current indifference probably meant that she was completely disappointed in him, and he should behave better and win her heart back.

It just so happened that there were a lot of things going on in the mansion during that period. Her mother's leg was bitten by a dog, and although she was cold to him in words and attitude, she still served her mother wholeheartedly.

Even her mother began to speak for her.

He slowly leaned towards a voice behind him.

Maybe, after my mother's leg heals.

They can start anew as a family...

He wanted to tell her that even though he had fallen in love with Su Liuxi and tried to please her, in the end, he still wanted her to be his wife.

He couldn't give her a name, but he could give her his heart.

Just when he was looking forward to a bright future for the two of them.

Accidents always come so suddenly.

Su Liuxi actually colluded with Su Yong and kidnapped the mother and daughter.

The moment he saw Su Yong forcing the mother and daughter off the cliff, the pain in his heart was so severe that it would be difficult to get rid of it even if he killed Su Yong.

The moment he found Shen Muxi and her daughter in the deep pool at the foot of Mulan Mountain, he felt that his world had become gloomy.

he thinks.

He must be dreaming.

He wanted to wake himself up so that he could see his Mu Mu and Xiao Xiao.

Thinking this in his mind, he actually picked up a stone and tried to smash it on his head.

Wang Ying strode forward and removed the force and stone from his hand, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
