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

In the carriage.

Gu Shi regained his composure and realized that Su Liuxi looked particularly bright today.

"What are you..."

Su Liuxi smiled shyly, "Brother Gu Shi, have you forgotten? I'm going back to the Su Mansion today to give my mother a letter.

By the way, I also asked about the opera troupe you mentioned earlier. I heard that the troupe was very ordinary before, until a new Qingyi came six months ago. Her voice was soft and penetrating, and she became famous in the capital..."

Gu Shi’s mind was still full of the scene he had just seen.

It was not until Su Liuxi asked him what he felt that Gu Shi woke up from his dream.

After a long while, she couldn't remember what Su Liuxi had asked her, so she just perfunctorily said, "As long as you think it's good."

After returning home, Gu Shi hurriedly got off the carriage.

Su Liuxi followed him back to the main courtyard because she was worried about Gu Shi.

"Xixi, I'm really fine, you don't have to worry."

"Brother Gu Shi, you and I grew up together. If you really feel that you can't get over it, I can..."

"No, this has nothing to do with you. This is my problem...who is it?!"

Gu Shi suddenly changed his tone mid-sentence.

Su Liuxi was obviously frightened.

Following Gu Shi's gaze, I saw a strange man in servant's clothes peeking furtively into the main courtyard.

The servant was obviously frightened by Gu Shi's howl just now. He covered his face and ran away.

"stop."

Chen Shiliu hurriedly caught up.

Gu Shi quickly ran back to the main courtyard, completely ignoring Su Liuxi's expression, and naturally missed the fleeting light in her eyes.

But Shen Muxi didn't miss it.

Based on her understanding of Su Liuxi these days, this woman is usually planning a big move at this time.

Chen Shiliu will definitely not be able to catch anyone.

As if to confirm her thoughts, Chen Shiliu came back panting.

"Your Highness, that man seemed to be very familiar with the structure of the mansion, and he escaped."

Gu Shi's eyes have been on Gu Xiaoxiao since he stood at the gate of the main courtyard.

Watching her caressing the wooden fan in her hand lovingly.

The little person's calm and peaceful appearance is totally inconsistent with his actual age.

It is even more incompatible with the hustle and bustle of this world.

An Ning was so peaceful and calm that he didn't seem like an ordinary child, as if he could disappear from sight in the next moment.

Gu Shi's heart tightened and he took a step forward.

Su Liuxi followed up at the right time and said, "Brother Gu Shi, Xiaoxiao's ears..."

Gu Shi's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Shen Muxi saw that the look in Gu Shi's eyes when he looked at Gu Xiaoxiao changed from nervousness at first to gradually indifference later.

Her heart began to sink slowly.

Judging from Gu Shi's expression, he must have listened to the old lady's advice...

Just when she thought Gu Shi was going to appear in front of Xiaoxiao with Su Liuxi.

Gu Shi stopped, turned, and walked in another direction.

"I suddenly remembered that I have something to take care of. It may take me until my mother's birthday. I may have to trouble you with Xiaoxiao."

The smile on Su Liuxi's lips froze slightly, as if she had not expected Gu Shi to suddenly change his mind.

Soon, her expression returned to normal, and she smiled gently at Gu Shi, "Brother Gu Shi, there's no need to bother with our relationship."

She watched Gu Shi leave with a smile on her face, the smile on her lips still there, but a layer of frost gradually appeared in her eyes.

...

A few days later.

Birthday of Princess Laorong.

Princess Rong was very dissatisfied with the simplicity of everything this year.

But she had been poor in Danyang for too long, and she wanted to leave the empress dowager with the impression that she had developed a frugal habit due to her hardship.

Otherwise, why would there be a continuous flow of rewards from the palace to Prince Rong's Mansion?

Thinking of those yellow and white gold and silver ingots.

The face of Princess Rong looked better.

Su Liuxi stood beside the old princess and served her, indirectly announcing her relationship to the ladies who were on good terms with the old princess.

In Ronghui Hall.

All the female members of the family, except for the Princess of Rong, attended the event in their best attire.

In such a comparison, the old Princess Rong, who dressed conservatively and even deliberately wore less headgear, became a person who could be recognized at a glance.

Too plain.

The old Princess of Rong County tried hard to maintain a graceful demeanor, but when she smiled, her back teeth were broken.

The ladies sitting below her seemed unable to see her gnashing smile.

He continued to flatter himself, "I heard that the troupe that came to the mansion today is the most famous opera troupe in the capital. Their schedule is usually full, and they have backers in the capital. Usually, even royal relatives who want to be invited have to wait for the troupe's arrangements. I thought I would have to wait for several months to hear the opera, but I didn't expect that this time, thanks to the old princess, I can come."

Another lady laughed and said, "Yes, I heard about it too. It's mainly because the troupe has a new Qingyi who sings well and is also very handsome..."

Halfway through the conversation, the nanny behind the lady coughed a few times as if unintentionally.

The lady realized belatedly that she had spoken too frivolously. She smiled, apologized, and never mentioned it again.

No one responded for a moment and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Su's mother, who had been silent, spoke with a smile.

"Actually, my master also likes to listen to opera..."

As soon as the conversation started, other ladies quickly spoke up to change the subject.

"Lord Su is a man of integrity, unlike our family, who hides in the backyard as soon as they return home..."

The topics of conversation among women are always the same.

Soon, servants came to serve these ladies and took them to the stage to listen to the opera.

Since the wooden fan has Shen Muxi's bones, now as long as Gu Shi does not leave the house, Shen Muxi can follow Gu Xiaoxiao freely, as long as he stays no more than three meters away from her.

Today, Gu Xiaoxiao was brought by Su Liuxi, so Shen Muxi was able to follow this group of people and listen to the opera with them.

She doesn't understand opera, but she can tell good from bad.

If I'm not mistaken, the tall female role should be the Qingyi they are talking about.

Should I say it, that look, that singing voice, that figure...

Truly charming.

But Shen Muxi's happiness didn't last long, because——

Halfway through the play, the tall female role no longer appeared on stage.

She saw Su's mother pulling Su Liuxi towards a side room not far away.

Because she was worried that Su's mother and Su Liuxi might be up to something bad, she hurried to catch up.

"...Just think of it as helping your mother."

Su's mother's slightly pleading voice came from the side room.

Shen Muxi quickly passed through the wall.

Just as she reached the door and took a step inside, she was the last boundary of three meters away from Xiaoxiao.

She clearly saw that Su Liuxi rarely showed an angry look.

"Mother, father is absurd, and you are going to condone his absurdity?"

Su's mother choked.

Then her eyes turned red. "What else can I do? Everyone says that your father only has me as his wife. It's a blessing I've earned through many lifetimes. Especially since he has no other hobbies but to listen to opera..."

"Does he really like to listen to opera? It's obvious that he wants to hang out with opera singers."

Su Liuxi interrupted her unhappily, "Do you know how much I've sacrificed because of him?"

Although she tried very hard to suppress her voice, her trembling tone still revealed her unwillingness and helplessness.

Su's mother knew that she was in the wrong, so when Su Liuxi brought up the past, she just lowered her head and didn't dare to look her in the eye.

Sensing that Su Liuxi's temper was almost over, she raised her eyes to look at Su Liuxi and assured her solemnly, "Mother has inquired about this. I heard that this Boss Lin fled from Nanyuan and was picked up by the troupe owner. He has no one to rely on, so if anything really happens, he won't be in trouble."

"This is already the third one. I'm not always so lucky to handle it. Moreover, this troupe has backers in the capital. If something really happens, not only will his reputation be ruined, but even the Rongjun Prince's Mansion will be implicated."

"No," Su's mother assured again, "Your father said that as long as he can get Boss Lin this time, he will change his mind and seize this opportunity to rise to the top, and do his best to help the Rongjun Palace."

Perhaps because Su's mother was too sincere, Su Liuxi finally couldn't help but let go, "Really?"

Mother Su nodded. "You know your father's character. Apart from his fondness for playing with actors, when has he ever been absurd?"

Su Liuxi pinched the handkerchief and pursed her lips. After thinking for a moment, she slowly nodded, "Okay, I'll find a way to let the troupe stay here for one night. Send someone to ask father to find a reason to come to the mansion. This will be the last time."

Su's mother smiled, "As expected of my mother..."

"Don't be too happy too soon," Su Liuxi didn't want to hear Su's mother's hypocritical praise, and directly put forward her own request, "There will be a good show soon, you have to cooperate with me."

"Cooperate?" Su's mother looked at Su Liuxi in confusion.

The latter nodded, took a step forward and whispered something in her ear.

After hearing Su Liuxi's plan, Su's mother covered her mouth and exclaimed, "How can you be so bold?"

"No venture, no gain." Su Liuxi said impatiently, "Although Gu Shi is currently captivated by me, that woman has been with him through thick and thin for seven years. The existence of that little bastard is a threat."

After hearing Su Liuxi's threat, Su's mother's eyes, which were originally hesitant, suddenly became very firm.

"Mother understands. Today is the day that little bastard dies."

Shen Muxi listened to everything the two said without missing a word.

She even heard clearly the plan Su Liuxi whispered to her mother...

They want to kill Xiaoxiao!!

And he used such despicable means to throw dirty water on her.

At first, she only thought that the Su mother and daughter might be plotting something bad, but she didn't expect them to be so inhumane.

It's a pity that she can't do anything now...

Can’t do it!!

Just when she was filled with resentment, her soul was "sucked away" completely out of control.

Xiaoxiao left the stage!!

Shen Muxi immediately ignored his grief and anger and went back to his daughter obediently.

Soon, she saw her daughter's small figure in an abandoned yard.

There is still one...

A young man leaning against the wall, his makeup still on his face.

Shen Muxi recognized the man at a glance. He was the female lead who had retired from the stage not long ago.

At this time, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the man's face, and the powder on his face was smudged.

A pair of eyes were indifferent and deep, without any emotion.

Shen Muxi only took one look and felt his hair stand on end, almost scared to death.

murderous look! !

This female role wanted to kill Xiaoxiao.

She quickly floated in front of Gu Xiaoxiao, as if as long as her soul stood in front of her daughter, she could stop the female role's murderous intentions.

But Gu Xiaoxiao was completely unaware and was still stuffing the mind-awakening pill in her hand into the man's hand.

"Who are you?"

After pushing Xiaoxiao's hand away again, the man spoke.

His voice was clear and mellow, and when he questioned, he carried a bit of the arrogance that only a superior could have.

Even if one couldn't recognize the man's appearance, his calm posture as he lay against the wall and his overall demeanor were enough to outdo Gu Shi, the Prince of Rong.

This female role has a complicated identity.

However, Shen Muxi only had time to draw this conclusion.

Because the next moment, the man's hand would be around her daughter's neck! !

"what you do!!"

"don't want!!"

When she saw the other party raising his hand to strangle her neck, Gu Xiaoxiao's face showed horror.

Instinctively, he hugged his head with his arms.

The man was obviously surprised by Xiaoxiao's change.

He immediately released his strength and stopped.

Xiaoxiao still looked at him in shock, her eyes stretched out, hiding anxiety.

The man asked tentatively, "You, can't hear me?"

Gu Xiaoxiao only saw the uncle in front of her, his mouth moving. His face was expressionless at first, but now his facial features became soft.

She spoke to herself, "I... I can't hear anything..."

The distorted pronunciation of words is something that a fake deaf person cannot fake.

A strange emotion flashed in the man's eyes.

Finally, he reached out and took the pill she handed him, twisting it lightly on his fingertips. Then he looked at Gu Xiaoxiao again, and then gently put the fingertips that had twisted the pill to his nose and sniffed it.

On the surface, it is indeed mint and some refreshing Chinese medicine.

He has no other choice at the moment.

I had to confirm with Gu Xiaoxiao again, "Is this something that won't make you sleepy after eating it?"

He slowed his voice.

In this way, there was no obstacle for Gu Xiaoxiao to communicate with him.

"I'm not sleepy. Xiaoxiao ate and woke up, but then the bad guys drugged her and she fell asleep again. My sister is gone too."

It's like I've found an outlet.

Gu Xiaoxiao actually complained to the man pitifully.

The man looked helplessly at the soft little girl in front of him.

The little girl looks chubby, but her clothes don't fit her well, and the hairband on her bun is missing a...

After looking at Gu Xiaoxiao for a moment, the man realized what was happening and his gaze softened.

His eyes suddenly turned cold and he turned his head away.

Just then, there was a noise outside.

The man instinctively wanted to stand up, with a look of vigilance on his face.

Gu Xiaoxiao also looked outside, "Is someone coming?"

Without waiting for the man to speak, she looked at him firmly and said, "If you don't go out, the bad guys will take off your clothes. I will go."

After saying that, she twisted her chubby little body and went out from the other direction of the dilapidated yard.

The man vaguely heard a commotion outside, saying something about finding the young lady...

He lowered his eyes to glance at the minty pill in his hand, then finally put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

...

Shen Muxi knew that Su Liuxi was cruel and ruthless, but she didn't expect her to be so fast.

It was just the time for Xiaoxiao to deliver some medicine, but she had already arranged everything.

At this time, there was no trace of the troupe's female roles on the stage.

The other servants in the mansion were trying to appease the other guests and ask them to leave.

Gu Shi sat on the main seat with a gloomy face. In front of him was a short and fat man who was forced to kneel down and whose appearance could not be seen clearly.

Su Liuxi was hypocritically persuading him, "Let's wait for sister to come back and ask her in person. There must be some misunderstanding..."
