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

It seemed that Chen Shiliu wanted to say something.

A maid from Ronghuitang came.

"Your Majesty, the old princess invites you."

At this time, my mother wants to see you?

Gu Shi quickly figured out why Princess Rong was looking for him.

After agreeing to the mother-in-law's words, he glanced at Chen Shiliu again and said, "Go and make the arrangements."

Chen Shiliu's breath was held in his throat, as if he had not expected that even after he had said so much, his master would remain indifferent.

Shen Muxi was equally surprised as Chen Shiliu.

"Gu Shi, what tricks are you trying to play?"

He had previously been slandering her reputation and wanted to tell the world that she had eloped with someone else and betrayed him, but now he was pretending to be so persistent and affectionate?

Pooh.

It doesn't mind being annoying.

...

Ronghui Hall.

Princess Rong had just sent her servants to clear away half of the bowl of blood swallows that she had not finished.

Gu Shi came.

She elegantly wiped the non-existent sugar stains from the corners of her mouth with her handkerchief without even lifting her eyelids.

"I heard that you are still looking for that woman?"

Gu Shi pursed his lips and said nothing.

The old Rong County Princess sneered, "She's just a thing that accompanied you for a while when you were down and out. Now that she's gone, it's gone. Why bother looking for her?"

"Mother concubine..."

Before Gu Shi could speak, the old Princess Rong raised her hand to interrupt her, "At present, our dynasty has open laws and regulations, and it is common for women to marry a second time. If you ask me, it would be better for you to spend more time on the Su family mother and daughter."

Gu Shi quickly explained, "As for Xixi, I will marry her, but Xiaoxiao is my daughter after all..."

"I told you a long time ago, why can't you control yourself?"

It would have been fine if Gu Shi hadn't mentioned Gu Xiaoxiao. As soon as she mentioned Gu Xiaoxiao, the old Princess Rong became angry. "In Danyang, the bastard born by that little hoof is your daughter, but this is the capital. If she stayed in Danyang obediently, it would be fine. But once she shows up in the capital, she will be a stain on your life."

Her tone was harsh, and Gu Shi's expression suddenly changed.

"Mother concubine..."

"Okay, let the past be the past. After today, don't mention it anymore."

The old Rongjun Prince's wife slowed down her tone and interrupted Gu Shi, "Don't blame your mother for being cold-blooded. That child has no blessings. Staying in the Rongjun Prince's Mansion will only lower the reputation of the Rongjun Prince's Mansion.

Listen to your mother's advice and send her to the farm. As time goes by, people will forget that you have a wife and children in Danyang.

In a few years, when you and Su have your own child, you can arrange a marriage for her so that she can help her brothers and sisters in the mansion and make her life in the Rongjun Palace worthwhile."

At this point, the old Rongjun Wangfei gave Gu Shi a meaningful look and said, "You are now the head of my Rongjun Wangfu. I think you don't want the century-old foundation of Rongjun Wangfu to be destroyed in your hands, right?"

Gu Shi understood the truth.

Can...

It seems like he is struggling internally.

Gu Shi's clenched fists tightened and loosened, tightened and loosened again, and finally, he said softly, "Everything should be arranged after mother's birthday. I will make arrangements then."

The old Princess Rong Jun Wang didn't expect Gu Shi to listen to her immediately, so she nodded and waved at him, "Then let her celebrate her birthday with me at home first, so that others won't blame the Rong Jun Wang Mansion for being unkind."

Shen Muxi watched the whole conversation between mother and son, and thought she had become accustomed to the shamelessness of these people in Prince Rong's Mansion.

But when she saw that the old Princess Rong was unaware of her death and hadn't found her whereabouts, and openly encouraged Gu Shi to use Xiaoxiao to pave the way for his future children, hatred surged in her heart.

That sarcastic face overlapped with the sarcastic face of the hypocritical grandmother she remembered many years ago.

Shen Muxi wanted to fly forward and scratch the old woman's face.

Old thing, you really gave her face!!

Unfortunately, she had only taken a few steps before she reached the old woman when she was "sucked" away by Gu Shi.

Come out from Ronghui Hall.

Gu Shi still looked conflicted.

It seemed as if he couldn't bear to send Gu Xiaoxiao to the farm.

Shen Muxi sneered, "If you were more courageous and decisive towards either me or Su Liuxi, I would have looked at you with new eyes. But you wavered like a fence-sitter. I was really blind to fall for you in the first place."

What a pity...

It's a pity that she doesn't know people well.

Now, she is dead.

Not only did the person die, but her heart that loved Gu Shi was also gradually shattered into pieces by the gentleness and thoughtfulness that Gu Shi had shown Su Liuxi over the past few days.

Now, her only small wish is probably to watch Xiaoxiao grow up safely.

Chen Shiliu had been waiting outside Ronghui Hall for a long time and saw Gu Shi coming out in a daze.

He immediately asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong?"

Gu Shi instinctively wanted to speak, but when he saw that the person coming was Chen Shiliu, he suddenly remembered that Zhuifeng was dead.

He forced himself to hold back his words, "Nothing."

That's what it says.

But after washing up, he still tossed and turned.

Closing my eyes reminds me of the difficult days in Danyang.

Life was hard. Sometimes in winter they couldn't even get enough to eat. Unfortunately, their mother was spoiled and only cared about her own enjoyment, not caring about their lives.

There were several times when he felt that he would not live to return to the capital.

Until later, I met Shen Muxi.

Ever since she met Shen Muxi, she always found a way to keep him from starving or freezing.

Between the two of them, he is obviously older than her, but she takes care of him like a sister...

"Shen Muxi is too strong."

He said this for some unknown reason.

Being inexplicably called out, Shen Muxi, who had originally wanted to try to go to his daughter, instinctively shuddered.

When I looked again, the latter was looking at the ceiling of the tent and talking to himself.

She floated back to Gu Shi's bedside.

Then I heard Gu Shi continue to say, "Yes, you can't blame me, you can only blame Shen Muxi for being too strong... Besides... she also schemed against me and Xixi.

No, even if I don't plot, Xixi and I can't be separated. Xixi is backed by the Su Mansion. With this relationship with the Su Mansion, my Rongjunwang Mansion will be able to reach a higher level in the future. Everything is for the Rongjunwang Mansion..."

What I heard later were some words from Gu Shi to help me with psychological counseling.

Shen Muxi didn't even bother to roll her eyes.

"Okay, as long as you're happy."

How much did she need love at that time that she found such a thing?

...

Dali Temple.

"Oh no, sir. The peace locket we found on the female corpse not long ago is also missing."

Du Zhong hurriedly went to report to Pei Wang, "Before it was a wooden bracelet, now it's a jade buckle. This thief seems to be very familiar with our Dali Temple..."

Pei Wang took a sip of tea calmly, and the steam in the teacup concealed the coldness in his eyes.

"Perhaps before long, the Emperor will issue an order for me to completely stop investigating the female corpse on Mulan Mountain."

The unhurried sound overlapped with the sound of the teacup falling on the desk.

Du Zhong couldn't help but frown, "But we're already two months behind. Are we going to let the clues to the bandits be cut off? What about the Rongjun Prince's Mansion..."

"This matter is of great importance. This may be the best way out." Pei Wang's deep gaze fell into the void. "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. The Rong County Prince's Mansion is currently at its peak. Since the forces behind it are complicated and intricate, it would be easy for us to get defeated if we confront it head-on."

"But..." Du Zhong wanted to say something but was interrupted by Pei Wang.

"Okay, I'll write the memorial first. Regarding the female corpse..."

Thinking of the female corpse on Mulan Mountain, Pei Wang paused holding the pen, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, he gave instructions to Du Zhong.

"Keep it somewhere else and have someone trustworthy find a replacement."

"Sir, are you worried... that someone will take advantage of the opportunity to destroy the body?"

Pei Wang nodded, "This female corpse will definitely be useful later."

Since Gu Shi is still looking for someone, it means there is still hope, but not now.
