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

The stench from the dark alley wafted far away.

Shen Muxi also smelled it in the carriage.

Shen Xi looked back from time to time with a worried look on his face.

Shen Muxi frowned slightly, "Are you worried about him?"

Shen Xi shook his head. "I'm worried about you. Du Heng has suffered a loss and will definitely come to cause trouble. You blatantly gave him poison. Once he shows up, you won't be able to hide your knowledge of poisoning. It's not worth disrupting your original plan for such a person."

After carefully observing Shen Xi's expression and confirming that Shen Xi had no lingering feelings for Du Heng, Shen Muxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "No."

She had already thought of a way to deal with it.

"Instead of hiding something, it's better to show people the truth directly."

...

Less than half an hour later.

Small East Palace.

A capable woman in black tights whispered a few words in He Xuan's ear and quickly left.

He Xuan walked to Murong Jingyan and reported in a low voice.

"Your Highness, our people followed Miss Shen. Her carriage was stopped by the Anping Marquis's son. He tried to make peace, but was rejected by Miss Shen, and..."

"What else?"

The man lazily sat down next to the beauty in the yard.

The slender fingers were gently pinching the recipe left by Shen Muxi.

His eyes were fixed on the beautiful handwriting on the prescription, without even raising his eyelids.

He Xuan was unsure of his intentions and swallowed before continuing, "Because of his rude remarks, Miss Shen fed him a laxative and a mute potion. He was just carried away by the people from the Anping Marquis' Mansion. I heard that the stench from the dark alley lingered for a long time. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the people from the Marquis' Mansion will come to the Shen Mansion later."

Seeing that Murong Jingyan still had no reaction, He Xuan muttered to himself again.

"This Miss Shen isn't as indecisive as the rumors say."

Murong Jingyan finally responded.

"Keep staring."

He stood up and handed the house to He Xuan. His eyes were unfathomable and his whole demeanor was so noble that people dared not look directly at him.

It was completely different from the crying daughter Shen Muxi saw.

...

The golden crow falls in the west.

Shen Muxi finally returned home before it got completely dark.

When I turned the corner, I saw a little maidservant with an unfamiliar face looking out anxiously at the corner door.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shen Muxi coming alone. She walked quickly to Shen Muxi with a worried look on her face.

"Miss, you came back so late, you scared me."

"This is a second-class maid from Qinghui Garden, named Lanzhi. Apparently, Zhang doesn't trust Xue'er anymore and can't wait to put her back with you."

Shen Xi whispered a reminder beside Shen Muxi.

Shen Muxi raised an eyebrow.

After the imperial edict came down, Xue'er and a group of servants in her yard were dealt with by Zhang on the grounds of failing to protect their master.

There was no one to serve her.

It was also because of this that she was able to leave the house alone and go to the Little East Palace today.

Shen Muxi pretended to be unaware, closed the paper umbrella that was blocking the sunlight, and looked at the maid in confusion.

"You are..."

The maid respectfully bowed to Shen Muxi and said, "I am Lanzhi, a second-class maid in Qinghui Garden. Madam is worried that there will be another situation like Xue'er did before where a servant bullies her master.

I specially sent this servant to serve the young lady."

His posture was humble, his tone was sincere, and his attitude was much better than that of the servants in her yard before. No one could find any fault with him.

Shen Muxi didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded and smiled at her, "I originally thought it would be very inconvenient to have no one to serve me, but I didn't expect my stepmother to be so thoughtful and willing to send the maid from her own yard here. Then you will stay by my side and be my personal maid from now on."

Her tone was sincere and her attitude was soft.

His innocent look was very similar to Shen Xi who had not fallen into the water three months ago.

Lanzhi's heart, which had been hanging in the air, instantly fell back into her stomach.

Shen Muxi quickly returned to his yard.

All the servants in the yard were replaced.

The attitude towards her was also respectful.

The moment they saw Shen Muxi, they all came forward to greet her.

Shen Muxi just waved his hand casually and went back to his room without letting anyone follow him.

Shen Xi was puzzled. "I can understand why Zhang dealt with Xue'er, but why did they deal with others as well?"

Shen Muxi chuckled, "I guess Zhang thinks the people who served here before have second thoughts about her, so she's switching people."

But what would happen if I changed it?

She couldn't rely on others, so she had long been accustomed to doing everything herself.

No matter how many times Zhang changed, she did not trust those servants, and naturally would not give Zhang the opportunity to take action.

Shen Xi looked at the sneer on Shen Muxi's lips.

She suddenly recalled the scene where she dragged Xue'er to the woodshed and interrogated her most of the night before.

So cruel and ruthless.

No matter how Xue'er begged, she didn't show any mercy.

Finally, Xue'er had to tell everything she knew...

Although Xue'er knew nothing about Zhang's plot to murder her mother, it was clear that Zhang had instructed Xue'er to delay the rescue of the servants, had sent a man in to defile Shen Xi three months ago, and had sent another man in to repeat the same trick this time...

Shen Xi was once again thankful that he had concealed the fact that he had superb medical skills from the people in the Shen residence; he was even more thankful that after his death, his body could be used by Shen Muxi.

Perhaps because he had experienced so much hardship, Shen Muxi's temperament was much more decisive than hers, and his way of doing things was more efficient.

"What should we do next? As for Hongdou, do we need to arrange for her to leave immediately?" Shen Xi was curious.

Since Shen Muxi's plan is changing, does it mean that Shen Muxi will let Beichen and the others go?

After all, no matter how evil that man is, he is still Xiaoxiao's biological father...

If it were her, even if she wanted to kill that unfaithful man, she would still hesitate to some extent...

"need."

Shen Muxi answered firmly, "Even if Xiaoxiao were still alive, it would not erase the harm that Gu Shi and his people had done to my mother and me."

When mentioning "Gu Shi", Shen Muxi clenched her fists, and her beautiful eyes flashed with undisguised murderous intent.

Shen Xi didn't say anything more.

There were slight noises outside the house, and both the man and the spirit became alert at the same time.

"...The young lady returned to her room and rested. Madam, why don't you come tomorrow..."

"The eldest lady has already misunderstood Madam. If the key is not returned to her today, I'm afraid the mansion will be in turmoil again."

Shen Muxi could vaguely hear the voice of Aunt Cui.

He glanced at the already dark sky.

I couldn't help but frown slightly.

Zhang returned the key at this time. Maybe she thought it would be inconvenient for her to check the warehouse late at night and wanted to get away with it?

Shen Xi obviously thought of this reason as well. "The Shen Mansion is not as glorious as it looks from the outside. Most of the time, our reputation is supported by my mother's dowry."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Miss, the lady is here."
