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

"Miss, do you have any instructions for Xue'er? Xue'er didn't hear clearly."

Xue'er, who had been following Shen Muxi obediently for some time, suddenly spoke, and everyone stopped and looked at Shen Muxi.

Shen Muxi changed Shen Xi's previous style of always proving himself.

He went crazy right there, "What? I can't talk to myself? You wronged me. I came back and was reminded of something. It's normal for me to talk to myself when I'm not mentally fit.

If you deprive me of even the freedom to talk to myself, what's the point of me returning home? I'll just go back to the farm and forget about it."

Having said that, she was really about to turn back the way she had just come in.

Aunt Cui quickly grabbed Shen Muxi and said, "Oh my dear, you were fine when you came back. Why are you making such a fuss now? We have distinguished guests at home. Let's not make a fuss, okay?"

After saying that, Madam Cui turned around and glared at Xue'er, "Why are you asking about the master's affairs? Why don't you get out of here?"

Xue'er was startled, her eyes suddenly reddened, "Mammy, I..."

"Get out." Aunt Cui gave Xue'er a secret look.

She thought her glances were subtle.

Little did she know that Shen Muxi could see her every move clearly.

Xue'er received the look from Aunt Cui and left wiping her tears.

Shen Muxi tutted, her tone a little impatient, "Where on earth did you buy this crybaby to serve me?"

This was another question that Shen Xi had never asked before.

"There's a problem with the previous servants' arrangements. I'll tell Madam about it later and ask her to pick a few more clever ones for the young lady."

Shen Muxi understood.

They probably thought something was wrong with her and wanted to stuff a few more people in her place...

"can."

Originally, Aunt Cui had prepared herself to be embarrassed by Shen Muxi, but she didn't expect Shen Muxi to be so obedient and agree.

After a moment of hesitation, she remembered to change her expression and quickly put on a forced smile, "Now that the matter has been resolved, Miss, let's go see the Madam first."

Shen Muxi nodded and followed.

But after walking for a while, she found that Nanny Cui did not take her to Zhang's yard.

"Is this...the place where you fell into the water before?" Shen Muxi stopped intentionally and lagged five steps behind Nanny Cui.

Shen Xi asked doubtfully, "Why did she take me there?"

After all, Shen Muxi was ten years older than Shen Xi. "Let's see first."

It's not a good thing after all.

She quickened her pace to catch up with Aunt Cui.

as predicted.

Just after crossing the stone bridge and turning the corner of the corridor, Shen Muxi saw Shen Rou coming towards him pretentiously with a handkerchief in her hand.

Shen Xi warned carefully, "She seems to be pregnant, and the fetus is unstable. Be careful that she might blackmail you."

As far as medical skills were concerned, Shen Muxi still trusted Shen Xi's judgment, and she immediately became alert.

"Sister, you are finally back."

Shen Rou and Shen Xi are not much different in age, but because Shen Xi is tall and has beautiful facial features, she looks more mature than Shen Rou.

Shen Rou has a petite figure, and her deer-like eyes are red and wet every time she sees Shen Muxi. People who don’t know her might think that Shen Muxi really did something to her.

This time, when Shen Muxi saw Shen Rou, he was not as enthusiastic as before. Instead, when Shen Rou wanted to come over, he raised his hand to ask her to stop.

Stay five steps away from her.

There was an unconcealable disgust between his brows. "Tell me, how much ginger did you put on your handkerchief this time?"

Shen Rou didn't expect Shen Muxi to be so direct.

The words were choked on her lips, and she choked with sobs, forcing out a hiccup.

"You haven't even been weaned from your mother yet, and you're already crying in her arms. If you cry everywhere, people will just think you're crazy."

After saying that, Shen Muxi turned to look at Aunt Cui, "I wonder where you want to take me, Aunt? Isn't it to my stepmother's place? Why doesn't she let her own daughter serve her, but instead comes to bully me?

As a stepmother, she can't be so partial."

Nanny Cui had originally sent Shen Muxi here on Shen Rou's orders, but Shen Rou was defeated before she could even begin.

I didn't use a single word of the words I had prepared beforehand...

At this moment, a gentle but deliberately raised voice sounded behind the two of them.

"Xi'er is back?"

Shen Muxi turned around and immediately met Zhang's face, which looked almost exactly like Shen Rou's.

At this moment, the owner of the face stared at Shen Muxi's back with exaggerated eyes wide open, "Why is Rou'er crying?"

"No... It's not about my sister. I just miss her too much."

"It's none of my business in the first place, why are you saying these things that only make things more obvious?"

Following Zhang were two women dressed in silk and gauze and wearing gold and jade inlaid headpieces.

Shen Muxi guessed that even if these two people were not noble ladies of the royal family, there must be someone in their family who was an official, a minor official.

"Those two are the wives of officials. It seems that the distinguished guests that Nanny Cui mentioned are these two people." Shen Xi introduced.

After all, Shen Muxi had dealt with businessmen before, so there was no need to explain all the twists and turns, but he probably knew most of it.

"Looking at their attire, they're not as rich and elegant as Zhang's, so their official positions must be lower than your father's.

But judging from Zhang's appearance, her politeness to the two of them didn't seem to be fake.

This means that there must be something about these two people that makes Zhang wary.

As for women, they always do the same three things.

Today, Shen Rou, the little green tea girl, performed this act here, probably to cooperate with Zhang.

Zhang wanted to ruin my reputation on the first day I came back." She whispered to Shen Xi.

The most vicious thing is that she did not use a banquet or something to openly discredit her, but did it secretly, allowing those gossipers to erode her reputation bit by bit without her noticing.

After all, although Shen Xi's reputation was not very good three months before she fell into the water, for the sake of her deceased mother, there were still people who spoke up for her and questioned the actions of Zhang's mother and daughter.

That's why they couldn't wait to take advantage of Shen Xi's most powerless resistance and use a vicious scheme to drag Shen Xi into the abyss.

Now, both she and Shen Xi have the fighting spirit.

There is no way we will give them this chance.
