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

Shen Muxi stayed by Gu Xiaoxiao's bed.

Looking at her daughter's hands wrapped tightly in bandages, she wished she could take her place.

Fortunately, the doctor's medical skills were amazing, and he brought Xiaoxiao back from the brink of death after acupuncture.

Zhuifeng went to the doctor to get the medicine for the wound and asked another maid to apply the medicine to Gu Xiaoxiao.

Gu Shi stood up and was about to leave, and Zhuifeng hurriedly followed.

Shen Muxi was forced to follow Gu Shi.

She felt very strange.

This was the second time she suddenly lost consciousness when she was able to move freely in the house.

After regaining consciousness, he was still forced to stay with Gu Shi...

I can't stand her thinking too much.

Zhuifeng's call of "Prince" instantly brought Shen Muxi back to reality.

"...I have always believed that since the Madam and the Young Miss have returned, we should give them a proper status as soon as possible.

Instead of being like now, where others only know Miss Yuexi but not Miss Xiaoxiao.

Once the mistress is not around, the young lady will have no one to protect her, and even a servant can humiliate her at will."

Even though Shen Muxi had already experienced great emotional ups and downs, she knew that Gu Shi would definitely not accept Zhuifeng's opinion.

But Zhuifeng spoke up for the mother and daughter, which really touched her.

"I never thought that you would be the only one besides Mrs. An and Shuandi who spoke up for us, mother and daughter."

Gu Shi stopped and was surprised that Zhuifeng spoke for Shen Muxi and her daughter.

Soon, he suppressed his surprise and sighed.

"Zhuifeng, you don't understand."

Zhuifeng is just a guard.

How can you understand his distress if you are not in his position?

Now he is the Prince of Rong. If his wife is a commoner, how can she be worthy of his status as Prince of Rong?

"Yes, I don't understand."

From the moment Zhuifeng heard Gu Shi tell Su Liuxi that he did not regret using his wife's imperial decree to buy back her and their daughter's freedom, he realized that he did not understand his master at all.

"I only know that if I had gone later today, the young lady's life would have been in doubt."

"Come to think of it," Gu Shi said, his face filled with lingering fear after hearing Zhuifeng mention what happened during the day, "I have to thank Yueyue for this. If it weren't for Yueyue..."

"Your Highness," Zhuifeng interrupted Gu Shi, guessing what he was about to say, "I just suspect that Miss Yuexi is the reason why the young lady became like this..."

"That's enough, Zhuifeng. I know you've received favors from Shen Muxi, so you always remember her kindness. However, this is not a reason for you to slander Yueyue."

Having said that, Gu Shi turned around abruptly, looking as if he didn't want to listen any more.

"I've allowed you to take care of Xiaoxiao here during these days of her recovery. This is already the limit. If you plead for that woman again, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhuifeng looked at Gu Shi in disbelief.

So foolish and credulous.

Is he really the kind of person who is willing to endure humiliation for the sake of family and country?

Once again, Zhuifeng felt that he did not understand this master.

Gu Shi left the main courtyard upset.

Halfway to Shen Muxi's original yard.

Su Liuxi, who was supposed to be accompanying the old Princess Rong, was looking around at the pavilion with a handkerchief in her hand, and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

The moment she saw Gu Shi, her eyes suddenly lit up and she trotted up to Gu Shi in small steps.

"Brother Gu Shi."

Gu Shi frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed, "Why are you here?"

"I'm worried about you." Su Liuxi looked at Gu Shi with a distressed look on her face. She wanted to raise her hand to cover his face, but seeing the perfunctory look in his eyes, she didn't dare to reach out her hand in the end. She only choked slightly and said, "I'm worried that you might have wild thoughts."

"I didn't." This was the first time since Su Liuxi came into the mansion that Gu Shi didn't put Su Liuxi's feelings first like before, and was immersed in his heartache for his daughter. "I just feel that Xiaoxiao has become like this, and I am also at fault..."

"But..." Before Gu Shi could finish, Su Liuxi bit her lower lip, the lingering affection in her eyes unconcealed, "It's not your fault."

"You're a man, and it's hard enough for you to work hard outside. If I really cared about you, I wouldn't ignore Xiaoxiao's difficulties at home, or even hide away on purpose just to get angry with you."

"She's clearly taking advantage of your loyalty, so she's so reckless."

Her words immediately touched Gu Shi's heart.

The bit of uncomfortable guilt that Gu Shi finally felt quickly dissipated.

"You're right, the child belongs to both of us. Why should Shen Muxi be free and easy while I have to suffer because of my daughter's injury and illness?

Even if we take a step back, if she hadn't run away from home out of temper, why would Xiaoxiao have been troubled by Diaonu?

She has to take the greatest responsibility for her daughter's condition."

Having said that, Gu Shi became even more eager to find Shen Muxi.

It seemed that Gu Shi wanted to go to that dilapidated yard just a moment ago, but now he wanted to turn around and change direction.

Su Liuxi was anxious and hurried to catch up, "Brother Gu Shi..."

Because she took too big a step, she twisted her foot and screamed in surprise.

"Ah~~"

The next moment, she fell into a thin embrace.

Gu Shi helped her stand up straight.

He let go only after she stood firmly.

"Xixi, if you have nothing else to do, go back. I still have some things to deal with, so I'll be out for a while."

"Then... do you need me to help you take care of Xiaoxiao?"

Gu Shi was about to agree.

When the words came to his lips, he hesitated and shook his head.

"Just chase the wind there."

After all, he still didn't want to overdo it.

After all, Shen Muxi had taken good care of his family in Danyang, and he wanted to part ways with Shen Muxi in a friendly manner.

Instead of becoming a couple of enemies even after they separate.

"Okay, then Brother Gu Shi, you go ahead and do your work. You should also take care of your health. I'll go back first." Su Liuxi smiled gently and pleasantly.

Gu Shi couldn't see it, but Shen Muxi saw it clearly.

The moment Gu Shi turned around, Su Liuxi's expression changed as quickly as turning pages of a book.

...

Luoxia Garden.

Yu Yuexi met Su Liuxi.

"Mother, what happened? Did Uncle Gu go back to that shabby yard and find any evidence that Gu Xiaoxiao bullied me?"

Su Liuxi pursed her lips and shook her head.

"He didn't go back, nor did he let me take care of Gu Xiaoxiao.

I didn't expect that bitch to hold such a high position in Gu Shige's heart."

Yu Yuexi said indignantly, "If I had known earlier I would..."

"You should have kept your composure and not touched Gu Xiaoxiao." Su Liuxi looked at Yu Yuexi reproachfully, "What did I teach you before? Don't rush to grab a sheep and try to plunder it. Look what happened now, you've done something wrong."

Yu Yuexi lowered her head guiltily, "I didn't know Zhuifeng would come so suddenly..."

"Zhuifeng is indeed a variable." Su Liuxi's eyes were cold.

She had planned everything, but she had never expected that Zhuifeng, who grew up with Gu Shi, would turn against him after being exiled with Gu Shi for a while.

"Mom, I think Zhuifeng must have seen it, so he stared at me with such a scary look when he was with Uncle Gu. I'm afraid..."

Thinking of Zhuifeng's cold eyes, Yu Yuexi felt a chill down her spine.

"What if he really tells Uncle Gu the truth, then we..."

A hint of murderous intent quickly flashed across Su Liuxi's delicate face, "Then let's get rid of him before Gu Shi believes him."
