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

Shen Xi seemed to see what she was thinking.

"Are you planning to change your mind and get involved in this mess with the Crown Prince?"

Shen Muxi lowered his eyes, "Just like you said, it's a good thing that Xiaoxiao is alive.

But I saw with my own eyes that Xiaoxiao was strangled to death by those people with a hemp rope.

How did Murong Jingyan bring Xiaoxiao back?

In this world, the cheaper something is, the greater the price it costs..."

"Are you worried that Murong Jingyan will use Xiaoxiao as leverage to divert attention, using her as a pretense of loving him?"

Shen Xi directly expressed Shen Muxi's concerns.

Shen Muxi whispered, "Murong Jingyan is good at disguise. Although I don't know how he wants to play this game, I can feel that he has big plans."

She and Xiaoxiao had no relatives or friends in the capital, and the capital of Nanyuan was nearly ten thousand miles away from the capital of Beichen.

According to Xiaoxiao's situation at the time, the probability of her escaping from Prince Rong's Mansion was almost zero.

This can only mean that Murong Jingyan's hand has extended from Nanyuan Yecheng to Beichenjingcheng.

Even more terrifying.

No one knows about this...

Everyone is still deceived by Murong Jingyan's harmless appearance.

Thinking of this, Shen Muxi felt a chill down his spine.

"What are you going to do?"

"No matter what, I can't put Xiaoxiao in danger again."

Shen Muxi's attitude was resolute, and his eyes gradually became firm. "Since Murong Jingyan needs a cover, then I will be the cover."

In her new life, she thought she was the only one left in the world.

Her heart and eyes were filled with hatred for Gu Shi.

She had imagined countless times how, after returning to Beichen, she would do whatever it took to get back everything that belonged to her and her daughter from Gu Shi, and make all those who killed her and her daughter suffer a fate worse than death.

That's why she sought advice from Shen Xi and learned how to make and use poisons...

She wants to live in this world in the most painful way possible, for the sake of Gu Shi and the people who harmed her and her daughter...

Whenever Shen Muxi thought about how Gu Shi had ignored his daughter in the past, and now he could live with Su Liuxi in Beichen, her nails uncontrollably dug deep into her palms.

The sharp pain brought her back to her senses.

"Since this is a cover, you must deceive Murong Jingyan, but now..."

Knowing what Shen Muxi was planning, Shen Xi couldn't help but worry, "Can you... still show some sincerity?"

To be fair, she couldn't continue to fall in love with another man after being cheated on by him.

Not even for show.

Murong Jingyan is not a fool. If you can't deceive him with false pretenses, you may be in great danger at any time.

Shen Muxi clenched his fists slightly on his knees.

Just then, the carriage that had been moving slowly on the road stopped.

"Miss, the people of the Anping Marquis's son have stopped our carriage."

The driver's voice came from outside.

Du Heng, the son of Marquis Anping.

The scumbag who had a childhood friendship with Shen Xi but ended up betraying Shen Xi and hooking up with Shen Rou.

Shen Muxi's eyes darkened and he turned to look at Shen Xi.

Shen Xi met Shen Muxi's probing eyes, his eyes reddened, and his tone was extremely firm, "I have been deeply hurt by this unfaithful man, and I just wish he would fall hard a few times."

With Shen Muxi as a living example in front of him, Shen Xi could no longer forgive Du Heng's previous unbridled preference for Shen Rou.

"Okay, then I feel relieved."

Shen Muxi got off the carriage.

Only then did she realize that the carriage had been led into a dark alley.

She turned her head and glanced at the coachman, who looked away guiltily, not daring to look at Shen Muxi.

"Shen Xi."

Du Heng angrily stepped forward and demanded, "You accepted the imperial decree granting marriage just to get revenge on me?"

The man in front of him was no more than a young man, wearing a royal blue waisted robe with cloud-patterned white jade on his waist. His black hair was held up high with a jade crown. He was a typical child of aristocratic family.

It’s a pity that his eyes, which were burned red by anger, cast a murderous aura over him.

It looks particularly scary.

He was supposed to be Shen Xi's fiancé, and he should have married Shen Xi the year she reached the age of 15.

Unfortunately, one month before the wedding, Shen Xi's mother, Gong, passed away.

Even though Gong said before her death that she didn't need Shen Xi to observe mourning for her and let her pursue her own happiness.

However, Shen Chuanhai still delayed their marriage for three years on the grounds that Shen Xi had to observe mourning for Gong Shi.

On the contrary, Shen Chuanhai secretly held a wedding at home not long after Shen's burial, and welcomed Zhang, who had come to live with her daughter and was alone in the Shen residence...

To avoid criticism, Shen Chuanhai brazenly put on a show in public, crying and saying that Gong Shi couldn't bear to see him lonely, and couldn't bear to see her daughter without a mother's love, so before her death, she forced him to marry Zhang Shi as his second wife...

The dead are dead.

In addition, the Gong family's maternal family was in decline, while the Shen family had already become a new elite. Shen Chuanhai's plan to remarry shortly after his first wife passed away ended with the emperor fining him six months' salary.

In the end nothing is left.

Du Heng was extremely impatient with Shen Rou at the beginning.

When Shen Rou looked at Shen Xi pitifully, Shen Xi spoke up for Shen Rou and felt that Du Heng had gone too far.

Who knew that these two had been hooking up since Zhang brought Shen Rou to live in the Shen Mansion...

I don’t know if it was the body’s original emotions that affected it, or if it was affected by Shen Xi’s emotional fluctuations.

The moment Shen Muxi heard Du Heng's question, she just felt it was ridiculous.

"How dare you think I accepted the imperial decree granting marriage just to get revenge on you?"

A seemingly nonchalant question instantly transferred the bloodshot color in Du Heng's eyes due to anger to his face.

He said "I" for a long time before finally saying, "You used to work as a medicine boy outside, and you often corresponded with me for ten years. Could it be that all this is fake?"

"Yes," Shen Muxi laughed sarcastically, "Ten years of correspondence is not as good as Shen Rou calling you 'Brother Heng' a few times during the ten months she lived in the Shen Mansion."

Shen Muxi's eyes made Du Heng feel embarrassed and his face turned darker.

Soon, his previous bad attitude towards "Shen Xi" returned.

"How can you say love comes first, not last? I admit that I couldn't control my heart, but you can't take your anger out on the people around me just because of this, right?"

ha?

"Du Heng, is this something a human could say?" Shen Muxi was so angry that she laughed.

If Shen Xi hadn't been there to fan her nonsense and told her not to get angry, Shen Muxi would have wanted to stuff a mute potion into Du Heng's mouth so that she would never hear his disgusting voice again.

Seeing Shen Muxi's expression getting colder and colder, Du Heng's anger suddenly flared up, and the embarrassment he had just felt was also completely burned away.

"Although I was the one who changed my heart first, you are now marrying the Crown Prince to avenge me. If there is any grudge between us, it should have been written off once you accepted the imperial decree granting the marriage. Why are you being so aggressive?"

He became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and even forgot to pretend with his eyes.

The impatience in her eyes almost overflowed, “As a woman, you shouldn’t hold grudges like this.

After all, the Shen family and my Anping Marquis family have an engagement. Even if you are not lucky enough to marry me in the future and I cannot be your husband, I am still your brother-in-law.

Since we are one family, we are one family.

We are a family, how can there be any overnight hatred?"

Yes, we are a family, so there is no overnight hatred.

but...

"Who is your family?"
