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

"A few days ago, the Rong County Prince's Mansion caught fire, and three charred corpses were carried out from inside..."

Before Pei Wang could finish, Gu Shi interrupted him coldly.

"It was a servant who was careless while watching the fire at night. I have done my utmost to collect their bodies."

"But I also heard that the prince has been inquiring about the whereabouts of a mother and daughter for the past few days."

Pei Wang's eyes were as sharp as a hawk, "Your Highness is newly married, if there is no real entanglement, why would he secretly inquire about the affairs of a mother and daughter?

That fat man was not from Danyang at all. He had his hand cut off due to gambling a few days ago and died on the street. Didn’t the prince just see it at that time?

What, do you regret it now and want to get it back to make amends?"

His secrets were exposed, and Gu Shi was immediately furious. "You want to investigate me?"

“I wouldn’t say I’m investigating, I just feel that some of the rumors are not groundless.

Even if we take a step back, the female corpse in Mulan Mountain has nothing to do with His Majesty, but His Majesty must be familiar with Danyang. Why can't I make any guesses, but only allow His Majesty to speculate?"

Pei Wang smiled faintly.

Just a smile implied many inexplicable attitudes towards Gu Shi.

Gu Shi turned his eyes away guiltily and stopped looking at Pei Wang.

But his eyes were averted and his ears were not blocked.

Then, he heard Pei Wang continue to speak, "If we, the people of Beichen, want to change our identities, we must have a travel permit. However, I have searched all sixteen prefectures and found no record of travel permits for the Shen mother and daughter. Doesn't Your Highness find this strange?"

Gu Shi disagreed, "If you could remember everything clearly, why would Your Majesty be so worried about the incomplete records in the prefecture and county yellow books?"

If all records were kept clearly, there wouldn't be so many romantic affairs involving private transactions and subsequent elopement.

"But does Your Majesty really think that ordinary people can find the child's corpse in the sea of ​​fire? Do you know who that child's corpse belongs to?"

"Just say what you want to say. Stop trying to be mysterious to me." After saying that, Gu Shizhen turned around and left.

"That charred child's corpse was the concubine of the Earl of Wuyang."

Pei Wang's words successfully stopped Gu Shi.

"No one expected that Wuyang Bo would attach so much importance to the concubine's mother and daughter. He was furious after their death. When he went to look for the bodies, he found the concubine's body, but his daughter's body was missing. In the end, it turned into a charred corpse..."

At this point, Pei Wang sighed exaggeratedly, "I heard that after the Earl of Wuyang discovered that his daughter had died and could not rest in peace, he flew into a rage and threatened to cut the person who abandoned the body into pieces."

Who is Wuyang Bo?

That was when the late emperor was young, and he was an old minister who accompanied the late emperor through thick and thin.

Hereditary succession.

Although the descendants were a bit messed up, the emperor found them useful and gave them more favors.

It can be said that even if the descendants of the Marquis of Wuyang were not bad, the emperor would not dare to use them.

This is also why, even though almost the entire capital knew that Wuyang Bo had a concubine, no one dared to discuss it too much...

In fact, in the eyes of the people in the capital, Wuyang Bo was just a shit-stained spear that no one dared to touch.

Including Gu Shi...

"There are so many corpses, how can you be so sure that they are Wuyang Bo's men?" He argued for himself.

"The wife of the Marquis of Wuyang has always been jealous and vicious. When she first learned that the Marquis of Wuyang had a concubine, she didn't dare to touch him and could only set her sights on the concubine and her daughter.

In order to stop the concubine from staying with Wuyang Bo, she chopped off the little girl's right thumb in front of the concubine. The little girl died of pain, and the concubine, out of grief at watching her daughter die in front of her, committed suicide by cutting her own throat.

Fearing that the matter would be exposed, the wife of the Marquis of Wuyang deposited the body in the Ministry of Justice’s charity cemetery. Within two days, the body without the thumb appeared in your Rongjun Prince’s mansion…”

With a start, Gu Shi's thoughts suddenly returned to reality.

She calmed her mind from having a nightmare.

Over the past month, he has been feeling extremely complicated.

He originally thought that he had successfully married Su Liuxi and had won the heart of the beauty. The beauty still holds the testimony of their love, and he has fulfilled his long-cherished wish since his youth.

But after being together with Su Liuxi openly, he found that he couldn't help but think of Shen Muxi and Gu Xiaoxiao in his mind.

It's just incredible.

In his mind, no matter how wonderful Shen Muxi and her daughter were in Danyang, when they came back and compared with the noble ladies in the capital, the difference would be immediately apparent.

Especially when standing in front of Su Liuxi and Yu Yuexi, mother and daughter, Shen Muxi and daughter were covered in gray from head to toe, just like stones in front of pearls.

When he just came back, he thought that if Shen Muxi and Xiaoxiao were smart and easy to deal with, he wouldn't mind keeping them there.

But reality slapped him hard in the face.

Shen Muxi is just an orphan girl in another world.

Behind Su Liuxi is the upstart Su family.

He has to think about the future of the Rongjun Prince's Mansion...

Who would have thought that Shen Muxi would be so angry just because he punished her a few times for doing something wrong.

In order to get revenge on him, she did things that disappointed him one after another...

Until he heard that Shen Muxi had eloped with someone and became a prostitute, and that Gu Xiaoxiao was most likely not his daughter.

The pain in his heart almost tore him in two.

Fortunately, it turned out that the "adulterer" was fake.

He's just a gambler who tells lies for money.

His Xixi was still the Xixi who loved him deeply. He had wronged her.

Gu Shi admitted that he still couldn't let go of Shen Muxi and her daughter...

Yong'an Bo is still frantically searching for the murderer who burned his daughter's body. Gu Shi escapes the disaster temporarily because of Pei Wang's "protection"...

and many more...

In a flash, an idea popped into Gu Shi's mind.

If Shen Muxi and Xiao Xiao didn't go back to Danyang, then...

Where will they go?

No, Shen Muxi still has properties in Danyang. If she takes Xiaoxiao with her, she will definitely go back to Danyang.

He felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, and the tragic scene of the female corpse after her death in Mulan Mountain suddenly flashed through Gu Shi's mind.

Even if it was just a quick glance, it was enough to send a chill down his spine.

Somehow.

He actually had an urge to find Pei Wang.

Everything is just too coincidental.

Even if Pei Wang and the Jingji government office were free, they couldn't keep reminding him of the same thing...

"No, no, I can't look for Pei Wang," he muttered to himself, clutching his chest. "The Mulan Mountain female corpse case has been shelved because the thieves haven't been apprehended yet, and the charred corpse incident has also come to an end. Looking for Pei Wang now will be useless."

It would be better to find more people to find out the whereabouts of the mother and daughter.

Shen Muxi is good at business and her roots are in Danyang.

If she wanted to hide, Pei Wang might not be able to find her.

At this time, if he wanted to find out something, he could only conduct a secret investigation.

Thinking back to how the gambler had suddenly made a fortune, and Su Liuxi's deliberate guidance on the day of the fire, Gu Shi's face had become very gloomy.

Just as he was about to turn around and call Chen Shiliu.

Just as he took a step forward, he suddenly remembered Chen Shiliu's behavior these days -

He didn't know if it was Gu Shi's illusion, but he always felt that Chen Shiliu cared more about Su Liuxi than himself...

After thinking it over, Gu Shi resisted the urge to hand the matter over to Chen Shiliu to investigate. He turned around and saw the guard following not far behind him.

The bright moon fell on the guard's masculine and angular face.

In a trance, Gu Shi thought of Zhuifeng.

He remembered that, in addition to Chen Shiliu, after Zhuifeng returned from Danyang, he particularly valued a young guard, whose name seemed to be something?
