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

Snowball is a fluffy white cat that Shen Muxi brought back from Danyang. He grew up with Xiaoxiao since he was a kitten, and the relationship between the man and the cat is very deep.

One day a month ago, Xiaoxiao and Xueqiu were playing in front of their remote courtyard. The vicious dog suddenly appeared from nowhere and was about to pounce on Xiaoxiao and bite her throat.

It was Snowball who, despite the disparity in size, stepped forward to fight with the vicious dog, which bought her time to snatch Xiaoxiao back from the dog's mouth.

The price it paid was that its front paws were torn off and its head was bitten off by the vicious dog.

The blood dyed its snow-white fur red.

Even so, Xiaoxiao still had half of her face destroyed by the vicious dog's sharp teeth.

The scar is sunken and may be difficult to repair when it grows bigger.

Faced with his daughter's face covered in blood and her heart-wrenching cry, Gu Shi for the first time ignored Su Liuxi's pitiful appearance and hardened his heart to deal with the vicious dog.

At that time, she was still relieved, thinking that Gu Shi was willing to deal with Su Liuxi's dog, which showed that he still cared about her and her daughter.

Now, this vicious dog that killed her cat and injured her daughter has not only not been dealt with, but is also being served by several servants.

She was fed chicken and duck meat in turn every day, and her life was more comfortable and fulfilling than hers and Xiaoxiao's.

Shen Muxi's entire soul was trembling.

"Why? Are we mother and daughter worse than a dog raised by Su Liuxi in your heart?"

She asked at the top of her lungs.

But the person in front of her couldn't hear her voice at all.

He was still interacting with the wolfdog, which wagged its tail happily when it saw him, and feeding the wolfdog.

When Zhuifeng came back from his work, he saw the harmonious scene of Gu Shi stroking the wolfhound's head, and the wolfhound wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue at Gu Shi. He couldn't help but frown and cautiously walked forward to ask, "Master, Miss Yuexi has been settled. Miss Su can rest assured to recover these days and don't have to worry too much about the child..."

At this point, he couldn't help but glance at the wolfhound munching on meat, and whispered, "I don't know which gossipy servant told Miss Xiaoxiao that the Madam was missing. She fell into the water when she ran out, and after being rescued, she developed a high fever, which hasn't subsided yet..."

Gu Shi interrupted Zhui Feng nonchalantly, adding meat to the wolfhound without stopping, "That's retribution, let her suffer it.

Her scheming mother tricked Xixi into going to a bandit's lair, which almost caused Xixi to lose her innocence. If Xixi had been weaker-willed, those bandits would have succeeded long ago.

The one who was wrong was her mother, and now making her suffer for a few days can be considered as paying back the mother's debt."

Having said that, he raised his eyes and glanced at Zhuifeng coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You just want to secretly find a doctor for her. Don't even think about it.

As long as Xixi's body hasn't recovered, let her continue to endure."

"But..." Zhuifeng wanted to say something else.

"Ok?"

Gu Shi’s eyes were too sharp, he slowly lowered his head and dared not speak anymore.

As soon as she heard Zhuifeng mention Xiaoxiao's high fever, Shen Muxi tried desperately to float towards the small courtyard where she and Xiaoxiao used to live.

However, she couldn't move even half a meter away from Gu Shi. She could only stand beside him and scream at him in pain, "Gu Shi, Xiaoxiao is your daughter. She's only five years old. What did she do wrong? Su Liuxi wasn't frightened or injured at all. Why should adults impose their grudges on a child?"

Gu Shi seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of Shen Muxi. Shen Muxi immediately stopped shouting, quickly floated forward two steps, and waved at him tentatively, "Gu Shi, can you see me now?"

At this moment, a servant came to report, "Master, there are officials outside, saying they are from Jingzhao Yin, and they say that a murder was discovered in Mulan Mountain outside the capital."

Mulan Mountain is the place where Gu Shi rescued Su Liuxi.

"If you need an autopsy in a homicide, go find a coroner. My duties as a prince have nothing to do with the affairs of the capital's government. Why are you looking for me?"

After saying this, he took the wolfhound's leash and handed it to Zhuifeng, saying, "Take Tianlang to Xixi. She's been frightened these days, and I feel at ease knowing Tianlang is watching over her."

But the lady will be unhappy if she sees it.

Zhuifeng moved his mouth slightly, and met Gu Shi's eyes that were as cold as frost and snow.

The words came to my lips but I just couldn't say them.

He knew very well that if he disobeyed his master at this time, the young lady's life would only become more and more difficult.

He finally sighed silently and retreated dejectedly with the wolfhound.

"Why, what I say is no longer effective?"

Hearing Gu Shi's impatient tone, the servant wanted to bury his head in his neck. "I dare not, but the people sent by Jingzhao Yin said that a mutilated body with its tongue cut out and face peeled off was found in Mulan Mountain. There was a hairpin in the body's hair. They checked and found that it was the gold hairpin you bought at the Treasure Pavilion..."

After saying that, he handed over a piece of linen with shaking hands. Inside the linen was a red plum tassel hairpin made of pure gold.

The hairpin is finely crafted, with beautifully cut rubies acting as the petals of red plum blossoms. It reflects different luster under different light, and it sparkles at first glance.

The blood-red color stung Shen Muxi's eyes.

She clenched her fists, and intense hatred burst out from her red eyes - this was the hairpin that Su Liuxi had personally pulled out from her own head and put into her hair.

Yesterday, she failed to escape for the second time, and Su Liuxi coldly ordered the bandits to dig out her kneecaps alive.

While digging out the bones, she fainted several times due to the extreme pain and was woken up by being splashed with cold water.

When both her kneecaps were completely dug out, she was thrown to the ground like a dog.

The intense pain from her body caused her whole body to spasm involuntarily, and her nostrils were filled with the smell of blood and moist earth.

Before her rapid breathing could calm down, Su Liuxi pulled her hair and forced her to look at her.

She was unwilling and asked her why in a weak voice.

Su Liuxi just smiled at her gently, took out the hairpin from her head and inserted it into her hair.

"Why so many whys? I just can't stand you giving birth to a child for him."

After saying that, Su Liuxi pushed her to the ground with force, and stepped on the wound on her kneecap with her exquisite embroidered shoes and crushed it hard several times.

Shen Muxi's breathing, which had finally calmed down, became rapid again because of the pain. She wanted to scream, but before she could make a sound, Su Liuxi pinched her chin with a ferocious smile, his eyes fixed on the tassel of her hairpin that swayed with her movements.

This was the first time she saw the undisguised malice in Su Liuxi's eyes. "This hairpin was put on me by your husband himself. You, a lowly creature living in a dark courtyard, always look so dusty and poor. You must have never seen such an exquisite hairpin before."

"You...what do you want to say?"

Shen Muxi was seriously injured and even breathing was filled with severe pain. She wanted to raise her hand to pull out the hairpin, but the bandit leader ruthlessly cut off her right hand.

Her screams resounded through the sky again.

However, there was no one around except the bandits who were laughing at her screams.

She wished all the time that she could pass out so that she could be free.

But after being splashed with cold water, she was given a refreshing medicine soup, so she couldn't faint at all.

As if she had seen what Shen Muxi was thinking, Su Liuxi smiled again, "Want to faint? I'm afraid it's difficult. Since you can't faint, how about we make a bet?"
