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

into the night.

Main courtyard.

In the evening, Gu Xiaoxiao woke up briefly and fell asleep again quickly.

Gu Shi rushed back just in time to see Gu Xiaoxiao falling asleep.

I don’t know if he suddenly felt guilty, but he actually moved to sleep next to Gu Xiaoxiao’s room that night.

The maids and servants guarding Gu Xiaoxiao immediately became extremely alert and did not dare to relax at all.

Shen Muxi crossed her arms, glanced lazily at Gu Shi who was tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, then passed through the wall and floated to the next room to watch over her daughter.

The dim candlelight flickered continuously.

The little person lay on the bed with his eyes closed and his brows slightly furrowed, unable to even sleep peacefully.

Shen Muxi could only copy his daughter's face over and over again.

As if by doing so, she could smooth out the wrinkles between her daughter's brows.

It has only been three months since I arrived in the capital.

She died, and so did Mrs. An and Shuandi.

Judging from the attitudes of Su Liuxi and her daughter, Shen Muxi felt that they would definitely not let her child go...

Similarly, she didn't want to let Su Liuxi and her daughter go.

Sometimes she really wanted to turn the entire Rongjun Prince's Mansion into a haunted house, but unfortunately, it seemed that she could only wander around here, not even able to scare people in their dreams...

Just when she was frowning.

There were very light footsteps outside.

Then, there was a knock on the door of the next room.

"Brother Gu Shi, are you asleep?"

It was Su Liuxi's voice.

Shen Muxi immediately floated back through the wall.

I just happened to see Gu Shi getting up, getting dressed and opening the door.

"It's so late, why don't you rest?"

Su Liuxi shook her head. "Seeing Xiaoxiao like this today, I felt really bad and couldn't sleep, so I came to look for you."

Gu Shi sighed, "It's getting late now, you should go back and rest first. If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."

In the past, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Liuxi coming to see him in the middle of the night, nor did he delve into why she could come and go freely in his main courtyard.

But today, maybe because his daughter was sleeping in the next room, Gu Shi felt inexplicably guilty when he saw Su Liuxi appear in front of his door.

Su Liuxi was keenly aware of Gu Shi's emotional changes. She bit her lower lip lightly, as if she had made some great decision.

"Actually, there's something I don't know whether I should tell you."

Seeing her hesitate, Gu Shi left the main courtyard with her.

In the pavilion, Gu Shi put his hands behind his back and said, "We have a very close relationship. There is no need to hide anything. It's okay to speak it out."

Although he said this, Gu Shi's eyes kept glancing towards the main courtyard.

Su Liuxi hid her hands in her sleeves and squeezed them so hard that the sleeves were about to be deformed.

Her face still had that weak expression, "I suspect Zhuifeng has bad intentions towards Xiaoxiao."

Gu Shi frowned slightly when he heard this, "Why do you say that?"

"Today, a servant saw Zhuifeng carrying Xiaoxiao to his yard. No one knew what he did there. Anyway, after he left, Xiaoxiao ran away..."

"impossible."

Without thinking, Gu Shi retorted, "Zhuifeng and I have grown up together..."

"But people change."

Su Liuxi retorted softly, "It's like my sister loved you deeply when we were in Danyang, but changed her mind after she left."

Gu Shi was silent.

He couldn't refute the fact that Shen Muxi abandoned her husband and daughter.

After all, there has been no news from the people he sent out today.

Su Liuxi continued her efforts.

"Actually, my younger brother and Zhuifeng found my sister's whereabouts almost at the same time, but Zhuifeng concealed the information..."

"What did you say?" Gu Shi could no longer remain calm. He simply grabbed Su Liuxi's shoulders and looked at her.

Because of excitement, the corners of his eyes were stained with a hint of red.

Su Liuxi cried out in pain, "Brother Gu Shi, you hurt me."

Gu Shi suddenly felt out of control, "I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay," Su Liuxi shook her head magnanimously. "Actually, I don't want this to affect your master-servant relationship, but..."

The following words seemed difficult for her to say. She took a deep breath and spoke clearly, "Is it possible that Zhuifeng actually likes me?"

Hearing this, Gu Shi suddenly raised his eyes and met Su Liuxi's eyes.

However, the latter's eyes were as clear and pure as before, but also carried a hint of heartache and helplessness.

Gu Shi's hands, which were holding Su Liuxi's arms, were trembling slightly.

Shen Muxi, who was standing by, was so angry that his eyes turned red.

"Gu Shi, if you believe what Su Liuxi says, then you are a pig."

But Gu Shi didn't care whether it was a pig or not.

The person he cared about was indeed his most trusted subordinate, who actually coveted his wife.

Even if that woman was someone he didn't want, he wouldn't allow anyone else to get involved.

But then again...

"When we were in Danyang, Zhuifeng almost lost his right hand in order to save me."

"But it was his sister who brought him the medicine. We were alone, so who knows what might happen?"

Su Liuxi's words were like a sharp thorn, piercing into Gu Shi's heart mercilessly.

Because she was right.

When Zhuifeng was injured, it was Shen Muxi who went through great pains to retrieve the herbs...

"No matter what, Zhuifeng has been with me for all these years, and I still believe in him."

I say I believe it, but I don't have any confidence.

Su Liuxi nodded obediently, "I know, I just had my suspicions. After all, although Xiaoxiao hasn't grown up yet, her appearance is largely like her older sister's."

"How about this? To avoid wrongly accusing any good person, we can find a reason to have Zhuifeng take care of Xiaoxiao, and then send someone to secretly keep a close eye on her. If Zhuifeng behaves properly from beginning to end, then everyone will be happy. If Zhuifeng wants to do something, he can't hide it from our people."

Su Liuxi suggested.

Gu Shi didn't say anything else, which was considered as his agreement.

The next day, Gu Shi handed Gu Xiaoxiao over to Zhui Feng for full care, saying that there were too many secrets in the main hospital and too many people to take care of Xiaoxiao.

Chasing the wind is naturally what you want.

After all, he couldn't trust anyone in this mansion now.

The days passed.

Under Zhuifeng's careful care.

Gu Xiaoxiao's health has gradually begun to improve.

From being able to only lie in bed at the beginning, he now can sit in bed and be fed.

It was midsummer.

Zhuifeng was busy all day and returned home exhausted.

Before he could even drink a few sips of water, he went to Gu Xiaoxiao's residence with brand new bedding and clothes.

"Miss, I specially had this quilt washed with flower juice. It smells delicious. I guarantee you'll like it."
