Just like many times before, no one heard what Shen Muxi said.

Gu Shi had long been accustomed to the feeling of being stared at.

Now that Zhuifeng is dead, there is no evidence.

For him, calming Su Liuxi's emotions is more important than anything else.

He ordered Chen Shiliu to clear the area. When he saw Zhuifeng's body with wide-eyed eyes, he hesitated, sighed, and raised his hand to stop the guards' actions.

"You guys step back first."

After all, they grew up together, and the fact that Zhuifeng died with his eyes open in front of him must have touched him to some extent.

Especially the hateful look Zhuifeng glared at Chen Shiliu and Su Liuxi before his death...

It doesn't seem like there's any evil intention, but more like there's some deep hatred.

Is it because of Xiaoxiao?

Or did I really wrong him just now?

Did he have anything he wanted to say before he died?

Thinking this in his mind, Gu Shi's inquiring eyes swept over Chen Shiliu.

Chen Shiliu felt a chill down his spine, but he could only bow and let Gu Shi look at him.

Su Liuxi tightly grasped the clothes that Gu Shi had draped over her, and was about to excuse Chen Shiliu when she looked up at Gu Shi's inquiring eyes.

A look of helplessness flashed across her face.

"Brother Gu Shi, why...why are you looking at me like that?"

Gu Shi looked at Su Liuxi seriously, "Xixi, tell me, did Zhuifeng really do something worse than an animal to you?"

Chen Shiliu quickly answered, "Zhuifeng wanted to do something bad to Miss Su, but his subordinates interrupted him, so he didn't succeed..."

"I didn't ask you." Gu Shi glared at Chen Shiliu.

Chen Shiliu suddenly felt like a rooster with its neck strangled, and the rest of his words were stuck.

Su Liuxi immediately lowered her head and sobbed, "Brother Gu Shi doesn't believe me, right?"

She cried so hard that her whole body was shaking.

As her shoulders moved, Gu Shi could still see her faintly visible white collarbone through her torn clothes. Gu Shi felt a surge of blood rushing from his lower abdomen to his earlobes.

He looked away from her awkwardly. "Even if a thief confesses, he still needs to give a testimony. Zhuifeng died at the hands of Chen Shiliu before he could even give his testimony. I'm only asking out of instinct."

"That means you don't believe me."

Su Liuxi's tears fell, and although she was crying, her words were still very clear, "Although I am already a wife, I am also a noble lady. I read <Rules for Women> <Precepts for Women> <Biography of Heroic Women>.

Could it be that, in your eyes, I am so despicable that I am making fun of my own innocence?"

"That was not what I meant..."

Gu Shi hurriedly tried to interrupt, but Su Liuxi seemed enraged and pushed his hand away, "After all, this is a matter of time. From the moment I moved into Prince Rong's Mansion, it was destined that you would look down on me.

Something like this happened again today. It would be pointless for me to stay any longer. I might as well take Yueyue and leave now..."

After saying that, she turned around and didn't look back.

The figure was so thin that it seemed like it would fall down at any moment. Gu Shi finally couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward, held her hand, and softened his voice.

"Your father hasn't come back yet. If you leave with Yueyue, an orphan and a widow, where can you go?"

Su Liuxi threw herself into his arms, sobbing, "But if what happened today gets out, it will be a problem whether I can return to the Su Mansion in the future. I'm sorry, Brother Gu Shi, I didn't mean to cause you trouble, but...but..."

Gu Shi didn't push her away.

Su Liuxi kept saying "but" for a long time before she reluctantly left Gu Shi's embrace. She pretended to be strong and lowered her eyes and said, "I appreciate Brother Gu Shi's care these days. I will return all the tokens of love you gave me... From now on, we will say goodbye."

By the time she finished speaking, Su Liuxi had already burst into tears.

Chen Shiliu had already tactfully withdrawn.

When Gu Shi saw her crying, his heart twisted into a ball.

"Okay, stop crying."

He gently wiped the tears from her face and paused, as if he had made up his mind. "Since you suffered this misfortune because of Zhuifeng, the root of the problem lies with Xiaoxiao. I will take responsibility.

I will write a letter of divorce to Shen later, and when Xiaoxiao is better, I will send her back to Shen and marry you."

Shen Muxi, who was watching the show from the side, was suddenly called out without even reacting, "Who should I send Xiaoxiao to?"

When she said the latter part, she pointed at the tip of her nose in disbelief and said, "Me?"

Yu Yuexi's eyes lit up slightly, and she tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that were raised, and said pitifully, "But, sister definitely doesn't want us to disturb her now..."

"That's her business," Gu Shi said impatiently. "After all, once the divorce is in hand, I'll give her enough money to support Xiaoxiao, and I'll have nothing to do with her from now on."

Su Liuxi quietly took his arm and said, "Actually, I really don't mind Xiaoxiao..."

"I mind," Gu Shi shook her hand back, "Xiaoxiao has always misunderstood you and Yueyue, and her personality was already very withdrawn and domineering.

After this incident, we don't know how violent her character will become. Sending her to live with her mother and let her raise her is a good thing."

Seeing that Su Liuxi wanted to say something, Gu Shi hugged her again and said, "Okay, don't think too much. From now on, you and Yueyue can live in the Rongjun Palace with peace of mind. I will take care of everything."

Shen Muxi watched coldly as the couple hugged each other.

He glanced at Zhuifeng, who died with his eyes open, and felt it was extremely ironic.

"Gu Shi, I'm already dead. I was killed by the woman you loved. If you have any conscience, you should pay more attention to Xiaoxiao's mental state instead of being obsessed with lust and crying like a disheveled woman. You even forgot your last name."

She knew that Gu Shi couldn't hear her, but some things were better to say out loud than to keep them in her heart.

Turning around, the two of them started kissing each other as if no one was around.

Shen Muxi didn't want to dirty her eyes, so she had to float to Zhuifeng and squat beside his body.

She sighed softly, reached out and covered Zhuifeng's eyes, which were still open, and whispered, "I hope that in your next life, you can be your own master and stop working for such ruthless people."

Something magic happened.

Zhuifeng's eyes really closed.

In the eyes of others, Zhuifeng closed his eyes by himself, which was particularly strange.

Su Liuxi and Gu Shi are inseparable.

From the corner of my eye, I just caught a glimpse of Zhuifeng closing his eyes.

She immediately exclaimed.

Gu Shi suddenly lost interest in continuing the kiss.

"what happened?"

Su Liuxi pointed at the body on the ground with a look of horror on her face, "Zhui...Zhuifeng...he's closed his eyes."

Gu Shi followed the direction of her finger and saw that Zhuifeng's eyes were closed.

He was shocked. Although he was very disappointed with Zhuifeng's actions, he still couldn't bear to abandon him in a mass grave.

After thinking for a moment, he called Chen Shiliu.

"Let's find a place, build a tomb for him and bury him properly."

Not letting him become a wandering ghost would be a way of fulfilling their twenty years of master-servant relationship.

"Wait a moment," Su Liuxi stopped Chen Shiliu, turned to look at Gu Shi, and said virtuously, "You've only just been reinstated. Don't worry about these trivial matters. Leave everything to me."
