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

During the three months that Shen Muxi was sent to the manor, because the manor was the dowry left by Shen Xi's biological mother, all the servants were loyal to her and Zhang could not get her hands on it.

So she didn't know what Shen Muxi did on the farm.

I just vaguely felt that "Shen Xi's" personality was different from before.

In the past, no matter what happened, Shen Xi's first reaction was to maintain the reputation of the Shen family.

If Rou'er cries, she'll immediately try to calm her down. Finally, when the family closes the door, she'll suffer a little, and everyone will be happy...

But just now...

Zhang looked at Shen Muxi deeply and decided to take another gamble.

"Xi'er, don't mess around."

She felt her hint was obvious.

Unexpectedly, the idiot "Shen Xi" actually stared at her innocently.

"What are you talking about, stepmother? My stepsister is crying for no reason. Is it my fault? Who knows if she did something she feels guilty about and feels ashamed of me, so she's crying like this?"

Her words almost told others openly that there was something fishy about her falling into the water three months ago.

Zhang's face changed.

Just as she was about to say something, she saw Shen Muxi smiling and taking a step forward and holding Shen Roushen's arm.

"I know what my sister is planning. But you can't act rashly, otherwise..."

When Shen Rou heard Shen Muxi mention "double bodies", she immediately stopped crying.

Turning his head to meet Shen Muxi's unfathomable gaze, the latter had a soft smile on his lips at some point.

She quickly pulled her hand away and walked to Zhang's side, "Mother..."

Zhang clearly felt that Shen Rou's hands around her were tightening.

Her heart also began to feel a little uneasy.

"Shen Xi" is really different now.

Others couldn't tell what the two of them were whispering about.

But she saw clearly that "Shen Xi" must have said something threatening to her Rouer, so Rouer's expression was frozen.

Shen Muxi felt Zhang's inquiring gaze on her face, and her smile fell, "Stepmother, what is this look? Didn't you ask Madam Cui to let me come back from the farm before dawn today to welcome the distinguished guests with you?

However, before the distinguished guest could see me, my sister suddenly started crying in front of me..."

Halfway through his words, Shen Muxi seemed to notice the two people standing behind Zhang, and immediately put on a defiant look.

"Ah, yes, yes, mother is right. It was me, I was the one who bullied my sister. Who told her to be gentler and prettier than me, and she even stole my fiancé."

Her attitude seemed arrogant and she spoke without thinking, but the hurt and helplessness in her eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

Although the two ladies following Zhang had few opportunities to interact with wealthy families, they were definitely exposed to a lot of private information in the inner chambers on a daily basis.

The news that the stepdaughter of the Shen family had snatched the eldest daughter's fiancé had already spread through various rumors.

Most of the news accused the eldest daughter of wanting to find someone to insult the younger daughter because she was angry that the younger daughter had snatched the engagement. The Shen family sent the person away because they didn't want to cause any more trouble.

And as early as a few days ago, the eldest daughter was secretly brought back from the village.

Therefore, when the Shen family sent them invitations, they were very happy.

Under the eager anticipation of other sisters in the circle, they were happy to come and test the authenticity.

Now it seems that it is not the eldest daughter who is resentful, but it is clearly Zhang's daughter who is fanning the flames, and Zhang is intentionally taking sides.

I remembered that Zhang just mentioned with a helpless look on her face that her youngest daughter had been bullied by her elder sister.

They were also filled with righteous indignation and wanted to meet this arrogant eldest daughter of the Shen family, publicize her arrogant behavior and ruin her reputation.

Now it suddenly dawned on them that they were "invited" here today because someone had spotted them and wanted to take advantage of them...

The more they thought about it, the more angry they became. The two women said goodbye to Zhang with a forced smile.

Zhang wanted to keep him, but she didn't dare to use extreme methods.

After all, if they were allowed to step out of the Shen Mansion today, who knows what kind of rumors these two people would spread about them.

She immediately ignored Shen Muxi and stepped forward with a smile, "Madam Liu, Madam He, we agreed to have tea together in the waterside pavilion later..."

The woman called Madam Liu smiled politely, but the smile did not reach her eyes at all. "Madam Shen is not at home today, so we cannot bother you. We will come to invite you again when we have the chance."

"Yes, it's getting late today, so let's say goodbye. I'll have a chance to drink tea and enjoy the snow with Madam Shen again in the future."

The two of them were very determined.

Zhang had no choice but to ask Cui Po to arrange for the two to leave.

Under the corridor.

Apart from the servants standing not far away waiting to serve, the only ones left were Zhang, Shen Rou and Shen Muxi.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Zhang's gaze shot towards Shen Muxi mercilessly.

She was still fantasizing that Shen Muxi would blame herself for all the troubles that had nothing to do with her.

Shen Muxi sneered silently.

For her, the false illusion of peace between them was torn apart the moment Shen Xi died and she possessed Shen Xi's body.

"What does stepmother mean by this? Why don't I understand?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang's expression suddenly changed.

Then, a low, deliberately pretentious voice sounded.

"What are you all doing standing under the corridor?"

Zhang immediately met Shen Chuanhai's voice and trotted to him in small steps, "Master, all the mistakes are my fault. Xi'er didn't mean to contradict me. She just came back. You must not scold her."

Tsk...

Shen Muxi looked at Zhang with disdain.

This aged green tea has a strong flavor.

But Shen Chuanhai enjoyed it very much.

He patted Zhang's hand soothingly, then turned and looked at Shen Muxi coldly, "You rebellious girl, you just came back and you're already talking back to your stepmother. Is this how your mother taught you to behave?"

When Shen Chuanhai mentioned his biological mother, Shen Muxi clearly felt the change in Shen Xi's mood.

Her retort was even louder than Shen Chuanhai's scolding. "You sent me to work as a medicine boy when I was five. I was born and raised in the countryside. Ten years later, my mother became seriously ill, and I was able to return. Less than two months after my return, my mother passed away. How dare you mention that my mother didn't teach me?"

Maybe it was because of this body, maybe it was because he had been working hard with Gu Shi in Danyang for seven years without any reward and died at the hands of Gu Shi's childhood sweetheart, or maybe it was because after his death he saw Gu Shi's indifference to Xiao Xiao, which eventually led to Xiao Xiao's tragic death.

Shen Muxi's tears fell uncontrollably, and she quickly wiped them away.

"Oh, I almost forgot. At that time, you were so immersed in the family happiness brought to you by this mother and daughter that you didn't even remember that my seriously ill mother was still struggling to run the household for you. But Lord Shen, don't forget. Even if your second wife replaced the servants in the mansion one after another, it still couldn't change the fact that the Shen Mansion was once the County Lord's Mansion. Without my mother, there would be no Shen family."

What is a noble son from a poor family?

He is nothing but a jerk who eats his wife and leaves her family to die while still being a powerful figure.

Gu Shi hated it most when others mentioned the Shen family with disdain on their faces, and he hated it even more when others said that he built his fortune on women...

Provoked by Shen Muxi, he immediately let go of Zhang's hand and raised his hand to hit Shen Muxi.

Shen Muxi raised his eyes fearlessly to meet Shen Chuanhai's almost fiery gaze, "Hit me if you dare, and I will say that the Shen family treated me unfairly, and that you, a live-in son-in-law, are incompetent."
