After his wife and daughter died tragically, the scumbag prince's hair turned white overnight
Chapter 43: A Fan Made of Her Bones
When Gu Shi brought Yu Yuexi to visit Gu Xiaoxiao, Gu Xiaoxiao was drinking rice soup.
Since Gu Shi ordered Gu Xiaoxiao to control her weight, Gu Xiaoxiao's rice soup became very thin.
Shen Muxi couldn't even find a grain of rice in the rice soup for a long time.
Seeing Gu Shi and Yu Yuexi appear at the same time, Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with surprise, and then full of vigilance.
Gu Shi stepped forward and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, Daddy has found a beautiful sister for you, you can't chase her away."
Gu Shi was afraid that Gu Xiaoxiao wouldn't understand, so he deliberately slowed down his speech.
Gu Xiaoxiao understood what Gu Shi meant, and suddenly jumped up from her seat as if she had been electrocuted, and even took a few steps back.
"I don't want to see her."
Because her pronunciation was not correct, Gu Shi could not hear the fear in her tone at all.
He scolded with an unhappy expression, "You little kid, why are you so stubborn? It's obviously you who did something wrong, and Yueyue is about to give in to you, so why are you throwing a tantrum?"
Yu Yuexi stepped forward with red eyes, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao sister, from now on, if you appear, I won't show up, and I don't want you to ignore me, okay?"
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to look directly at Yu Yuexi. She only saw her hand grabbing towards her and she dodged almost instinctively.
In Gu Shi's eyes, Gu Xiaoxiao was still angry.
"Gu Xiaoxiao."
His eyes grew a bit more serious.
"Uncle Gu, it's okay."
Yu Yuexi looked at Gu Shi with understanding, then took the small brocade box from the maid behind her and walked in front of Gu Xiaoxiao.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, this is my apology to you."
When the thing was handed to Gu Xiaoxiao, she instinctively wanted to refuse it.
But when she saw the ribs of the fine pearwood carved fan lying quietly in the brocade box, with bone paintings embedded in it that matched the wood carving, she could no longer take her eyes off it.
It was a pearwood fan. Neither the color nor the texture was very beautiful, but she couldn't help but want to pick up the fan and gently stroke the bone painting on it.
Yu Yuexi took the opportunity to hand the wooden fan to Gu Xiaoxiao and smiled affectionately, "It seems that my sister likes it very much. It's worth my effort to find this fan."
The maidservant beside Yu Yuexi smiled and said, "This was made by a very famous bone and wood inlay master. Normally, that master only makes boxes or furniture. Miss Yueyue went out and asked for it for a long time. The master was annoyed by her pestering and finally agreed to make this bone and wood inlaid fan for Miss Yueyue."
Gu Xiaoxiao watched the maid's mouth opening and closing, and gave Yu Yuexi a cold look.
She always felt that this bad sister had bad intentions, but she couldn't help but love the fan.
Just when she was about to put away the folding fan, Gu Shi grabbed Gu Xiaoxiao's wrist.
His expression was uneasy. "Since you have accepted someone's things, you should be polite."
Gu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, tightly gripped the wooden fan with both hands, and whispered, "Thank you."
Yu Yuexi smiled happily and harmlessly, "I knew Xiaoxiao would like it."
Gu Shi's expression finally softened. "Alright, after this, don't get angry easily. We're all family, so how can we hold grudges?"
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything.
Shen Muxi had floated back to Gu Xiaoxiao's side when Yu Yuexi opened the box. The moment she saw the bone fan in Gu Xiaoxiao's hand, she was almost scared to death on the spot.
She knew that this evil little woman had no good intentions.
I didn't expect that she guessed it right.
This evil woman actually made her bones into a fan for her daughter.
Shen Muxi couldn't even believe it. If one day Xiaoxiao knew that the bone painting on the wooden fan was actually made of her bones, how heartbroken and desperate she would be...
Shen Muxi looked at her daughter with a sad face, who was completely unaware of the situation but was attracted by the hollow wooden folding fan, the bones of which were polished to a radiant sheen.
An indescribable depression almost enveloped her entire soul...
When Yu Yuexi saw Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't let go of the fan, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she found a reason to leave.
Gu Shi was unhappy when he saw that his daughter was still ignoring Yu Yuexi, but he pursed his lips and said nothing.
That's it.
After all, it's his own child, he can't be too harsh on him...
But some cracks, once formed, can never be repaired.
Faced with Gu Xiaoxiao's indifference, Gu Shi couldn't hold on for even a cup of tea and left.
Shen Muxi wanted to be with her daughter.
But she found that there seemed to be a limit to how long she could stay with her own bones.
Not long after Gu Shi left, she was also "sucked" to Gu Shi's side.
In the corridor, Sixteen followed Gu Shi without saying a word.
Until Gu Shi mentioned that he should send someone to look for Shen Muxi again.
He then spoke hesitantly.
"Your Highness...I have something I don't know whether I should tell you or not..."
Shen Muxi was too familiar with the calculation in Chen Shiliu's eyes, it was exactly the same as the night Zhuifeng died.
I just don’t know what evil intentions Chen Shiliu is plotting right now.
Although Gu Shi was impatient, he still spoke patiently, "Just say it."
"This..." Chen Shiliu looked up at Gu Shi for a long moment, seeming to be in great difficulty and needing to be mentally prepared. He then spoke slowly, "I heard Zhuifeng mention it before when he came back. It seems that Madam had been entangled with other men when she was in Danyang. That's why Madam was able to support the entire Marquisate on her own when she was in Danyang..."
Gu Shi's breath was choked.
Chen Shiliu continued, "I just suspect that the Madam ran away from home this time. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have gone anywhere, but she disappeared for nearly two months. So, is it possible that she has already followed that man back to Danyang..."
Chen Shiliu's words were very suggestive, and Gu Shi once again recalled his miserable days in Danyang.
He didn't know what he was thinking about, but he felt a little angry and embarrassed. "How dare she abandon Xiaoxiao and go back to Danyang by herself?"
Is he sure that he doesn't want to set foot in Danyang again and won't go to Danyang to look for her?
Chen Shiliu quickly knelt down and said, "This is just my speculation. I beg Your Highness to calm down."
Shen Muxi was already so angry that he couldn't stop laughing.
"Gu Shi, Gu Shi, sometimes I really wonder what your brain is made of."
He didn't see the hard days she had in Danyang at all. Now, in the eyes of these people, her hard work has become the credit of another non-existent man?
Do they dare to talk nonsense like this because they think that she and Zhuifeng are both dead and there is no evidence?
