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

"It's hot right now, so this quilt feels cool to the touch. Miss, you don't have to worry about being too cozy in the quilt. The material of the dress is the finest brocade, perfect for early autumn. By then, your nails will have grown out, and you'll have grown taller. You'll definitely be very cute."

Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't hear what Zhuifeng said, but she understood what he did.

She gently sniffed the clothes and bedding that Zhuifeng brought to her.

A faint fragrance lingered in her nose.

She couldn't help but let out a faint smile.

Soon, the smile on her face disappeared, replaced by an unconcealable loss.

"What's the matter, young lady? Are these new clothes not to your liking?"

Zhuifeng tried hard to keep a smile on his face.

He knew very well how much Gu Xiaoxiao depended on Shen Muxi, so he naturally understood why Gu Xiaoxiao was so unhappy even as her body gradually recovered.

Over the past month, whether it was out of the master's orders or for the young lady.

He didn't give up looking for Shen Muxi's whereabouts.

However, Shen Muxi seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Only occasional rumors came in that she had eloped with someone and was extremely vigilant, running away before anyone could be found...

"I feel like something must have happened to the lady, otherwise she wouldn't have ignored your current situation."

Zhuifeng seemed to be talking to Gu Xiaoxiao, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

In his opinion, the young lady still has a long way to go. Without her mother by her side, and with her father now...

Thinking of how Gu Shi and Su Liuxi had been getting along so well these days, Zhuifeng looked at Gu Xiaoxiao with a hint of heartache. "But it doesn't matter. As long as I'm here, I will protect you well and will never let anyone bully you."

Just at this moment, a little maid came into the room with a tray carrying rice porridge and medicine soup.

Zhuifeng immediately put the new quilt and new clothes aside and made way for the maid.

Gu Xiaoxiao obediently drank the medicine handed to her by the maid. She was about to drink the porridge with her left hand with gauze wrapped around her fingertips, but the little maid stood aside like a piece of wood.

"Can't you see that the wound on the young lady's hand hasn't healed yet? Is this how you took care of the young lady when I wasn't watching?"

Zhuifeng glared at the little maid.

The little maid didn't expect Zhuifeng to suddenly get angry.

A trace of panic flashed across her face, and she was about to kneel down at the next moment. Zhuifeng sent her away irritably.

I turned around and saw Gu Xiaoxiao with her eyes open, looking at me curiously.

He immediately put on the same friendly expression he used to treat Gu Xiaoxiao.

"Young lady, don't be afraid. If any servant gives you trouble, just tell me and I will protect you."

After saying that, he picked up the rice porridge that the maid had just put down and fed it to Gu Xiaoxiao mouthful by mouthful.

He was a big and strong man, who was always fighting and killing, and was used to being careless. The way he fed Gu Xiaoxiao medicine and porridge looked particularly clumsy compared to the way he swung his sword to kill the enemy.

Gu Xiaoxiao's initial loss was gradually alleviated by Zhuifeng's careful and clumsy care.

Suddenly, she seemed to see in Uncle Zhuifeng the same worried and distressed look her mother, Granny An, and Sister Shuandi had given her when she was ill...

"Thank you...Uncle Zhuifeng."

Her voice was as low as a mosquito's hum, but it was enough to make Zhuifeng happy.

This was the first time Xiaoxiao spoke since Mrs. An and Shuandi were beaten to death.

Although the voice is not as clear as before, it can even be said to be hoarse and a bit unpleasant.

But Zhuifeng couldn't help but tear up.

A tall and strong man, eight feet tall, holding a bowl of porridge in his hand, seemed a little at a loss.

"Miss, your throat isn't healed yet, so don't talk yet. Wait until your throat is healed, then we can talk."

Gu Xiaoxiao understood Zhuifeng's mouth shape.

It seemed as if he wanted to pour out all the grievances he had suffered in the past few days.

Her tears seemed to have opened a valve, and the teardrops rolled down one by one at first, gradually forming a line.

"Uncle Zhuifeng, I can't hear anything..."

Zhuifeng quickly put down the bowl of porridge and found a clean handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face.

"It's okay, young lady. Even if we can't hear now, we can still write. Or, as I've heard, people who can't hear others speak have a special language and can speak with their hands."

At this point, Zhuifeng was afraid that Gu Xiaoxiao didn't understand, so he gestured with his hands, "Like this."

"When you are well again, I will ask the prince to hire you a teacher who can speak with his hands."

His eyes were sparkling, as if containing countless warm vitality.

It soothed Gu Xiaoxiao's hurt heart these days.

The tears that kept rolling down began to decrease and soon stopped.

Even though Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't hear, she still felt at ease when she saw Zhuifeng making various gestures with his hands.

She suddenly felt that if Uncle Zhuifeng was by her side, it wouldn't be so scary if she couldn't hear any sound in the future.

"...It's just that I can't hear anything, it's not a big deal. Nothing in this world is perfect, let alone people.

Maybe God thinks that the young lady will become a great person in the future, so he makes you go through some hardships first?

Once this hurdle is over, the young lady will surely have a smooth and peaceful life."

Zhuifeng was still racking his brains to say nice things to comfort Gu Xiaoxiao.

There is a small black mole on his earlobe, and there is a tiny black hair on the mole.

Gu Xiaoxiao's attention was quickly attracted by the black hair.

She even felt that if Uncle Zhuifeng's ears could move, they would definitely be moving like a puppy wagging its tail.

Inexplicably finding the scene funny, she pursed her lips, suppressed her laughter, and lowered her head.

But in her heart she was thinking about what Zhuifeng had just said to her.

When she learns to speak with her hands, she will especially teach others who cannot speak with their hands, so that they will not be afraid because they cannot hear people outside speaking.

As if she had made a great decision, she suddenly looked up and met Zhuifeng's eyes. Her eyes, which had been filled with gloom before, were now bright.

"Uncle Zhuifeng, I want to learn how to speak with my hands.

In the future, I will definitely be able to become a very good teacher who can speak with my hands. I will teach many little girls who cannot hear others to speak."

The little girl's voice was hoarse but full of energy.

With a goal to strive for, she changed from being dull and lifeless to looking like she was glowing.

Zhuifeng's eyes filled with tears. "Yes, little miss, grow up quickly and you will definitely be able to do it."

Behind the window that Gu Xiaoxiao opened, there was a rockery that could cover the bodies of two people.

Zhuifeng was so excited that he didn't realize that his every move in taking care of Gu Xiaoxiao was seen by the two people and the ghost behind the rockery.

Gu Xiaoxiao's residence was arranged by Gu Shi.

The purpose is to always keep a close eye on the trend.

"Brother Gu Shi, look, Zhuifeng's attitude towards Xiaoxiao is not what a subordinate should be like at all."

Su Liuxi clenched her handkerchief, looking worried.
