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

The man has an outstanding temperament.

Shen Muxi quickly caught up with him.

In order not to alert the enemy, she even kept a few people's distance from him...

He followed Murong Jingyan all the way until he could see Murong Jingyan's face clearly.

Shen Muxi finally understood why she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when she saw Murong Jingyan - wasn't he the unlucky actor in the Rongjun Palace who was favored by Su Liuxi's mother and wanted to be presented to Su Kang?

At the moment when Shen Muxi was excited, Murong Jingyan had already entered the backstage of the troupe.

Next to him, there were several faces that looked almost identical after putting on makeup.

Obviously, this is an attempt to cover up the truth.

"Mu Xi, they are talking."

Shen Xi reminded Shen Muxi beside him.

Shen Muxi nodded, hiding outside the window and listening with bated breath.

"...We don't have enough money, and the iron mine is under close scrutiny, so we have to put it on hold for now..."

Money?

iron ore?

Shen Muxi covered her mouth in shock.

At this time, with Murong Jingyan's identity, the only thing that could be connected with money and iron ore was probably weapon casting.

An unpopular prince wants to forge weapons, and it is easy to guess what the other party wants to do.

Sure enough, the prince's love of singing opera was just an illusion. Fortunately, she didn't rush to ask the prince for an explanation at the beginning, otherwise Xiaoxiao would be in danger...

"who?"

There was an angry shout not far in front of him.

Shen Muxi shuddered, his foot shook, and he kicked the flowerpot next to him.

"Those guys are coming to the window."

Shen Xi reminded nervously.

"We can't beat them, let's run."

"I'm not running. Is it because I don't want to?"

Shen Muxi's long skirt got caught on the cactus on the flowerpot at some point.

"Damn it! Who is this person who actually grows this hard cactus in the pear orchard?"

Not only will it prick you, but if you try to pull it out forcefully, the flowerpot will break and make an even louder noise.

Shen Muxi hurriedly picked up the hem of her skirt.

"That's too late..."

Following Shen Xi's exclamation, Shen Muxi felt a pain in his throat.

The whole person was picked up like a chicken and dragged into the house from the window.

The other person's grip was extremely strong, and Shen Muxi had no doubt that he would break his neck at the next moment.

She opened her mouth with difficulty to breathe, but the other person's grip was too strong, and she felt even more suffocated after opening her mouth.

She even felt her eyeballs bulging from lack of oxygen.

He glanced at Murong Jingyan from the corner of his eye, who was watching all this happen coldly.

As if she was just an insignificant person.

Murong Jingyan was much colder-blooded than she had imagined.

"Wait...I...Crown Princess..."

At this point, all she could do was drag Murong Jingyan into this.

As expected, upon hearing the words "Crown Princess", the man slightly loosened the grip on her neck.

But it was only for a moment.

Shen Muxi's survival instinct kicked in. He quickly ducked and rolled to the side, raising his voice, "Your Highness, are you going to let the Crown Princess you arranged to marry die at the hands of your own people?"

Her voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for the people backstage to hear clearly.

Thunderous applause from the front desk drowned out her voice. The expressions of the others changed, and they all looked at one of the men, whose features were now made up and whose features were unrecognizable. This was the man Shen Muxi had just looked at...

Shen Muxi took advantage of the victory and continued, "Your Highness, I just heard that you have no money, but I do. We have a common goal. You won't lose anything if you cooperate with me."

Now that her life is almost gone, she dares not hide it anymore.

It is not difficult to see that Murong Jingyan is indeed short of money.

Because he waved away the other people who were wearing the makeup of female roles.

After coming back to his senses from the fear of being almost strangled to death, Shen Muxi was so excited that he almost knelt down in front of him.

Regardless of the sore throat, she smiled apologetically and walked to Murong Jingyan.

"Your Highness, you have your goals, and I have mine. Let's work together. I'll pay, you'll do the hard work, and I'll give you the fruit when the time comes. Okay?"

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Anyway, the money is in her hands, and she has saved her life. So, when the time comes, it is up to her to decide how much to pay, right?

It seemed as if he was measuring the credibility of her words.

Murong Jingyan finally spoke, "Why do you think I will believe you?"

"Your Highness wants revenge, and so do I."

When he said this, a raging fire seemed to be burning in Shen Muxi's eyes.

The burning sensation burned her eyes, and even made her voice hoarse. "The people in the Shen Mansion are greedy. To take my mother's dowry for themselves, they first killed my mother, and then tried to kill me. If it weren't for my good luck, I'm afraid I would have passed away long ago. I must avenge the murder of my mother and the disaster that killed me."

The hair of the woman in front of him was slightly messy, and every word that came out of her mouth seemed to roll out from the blade of a knife, dripping with blood.

Murong Jingyan looked away as if he had been electrocuted and did not ask any more questions.

"condition."

"I want your daughter."

Murong Jingyan's eyes slowly narrowed.

no answer.

Shen Muxi took a deep breath and laid it bare. "Is that child really your Highness's biological daughter? Doesn't your Highness know for sure?"

She seemed to be questioning Murong Jingyan, but in fact she was feeling uneasy.

He had just told us not to act rashly, but when he thought about how he might lose his life if he wasn't careful, Shen Muxi had no choice but to act unconventionally.

Murong Jingyan hadn't expected her to suddenly ask for someone, and he actually started arguing with her...

"If I say so, then it is."

He refused to give an inch.

That was the person he rescued, and it took him a lot of effort to snatch her from the hands of the King of Hell.

So what if it's not your own?

He wants to keep the child by his side, who can stop him?

"The Golden Building in the south of the city." Shen Muxi also increased the bet.

And the added bonus was a temptation that Murong Jingyan couldn't refuse.

The Golden Tower was the dowry of Princess Mingxi.

Princess Mingxi is Shen Xi's biological mother.

The Golden Tower was bestowed upon General Gong by the late Emperor. General Gong loved his daughter dearly and included it in his daughter's dowry when she got married.

Even the emperor cannot touch it.

Now Shen Xi gave him this golden building...

Just for a child you don’t even know?

Murong Jingyan didn't understand why the other party would pay such a price.

But...

Golden Building...

He does.

Murong Jingyan lightly twisted the tips of his index finger and thumb hidden in his sleeve and looked at Shen Muxi deeply.

Soon, he made a decision and his tone softened a little.

"From now on, my child is yours. When she wakes up, if you can get her to call you mother, then you will take good care of her."

In other words, he gave in.

You can wake Xiaoxiao up, but you can't let her talk nonsense.

For now, Shen Muxi's goal has been achieved.

She smiled at Murong Jingyan and bowed.

"I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with the prince."

...

I spent fifteen taels of silver in the opera house.

Shen Muxi naturally wouldn't waste it.

When she was in Beichen, she never dreamed that she would be able to hear Prince Nanyuan perform in Nanyuan in her lifetime.

Fifteen taels, worth it.

When Shen Muxi returned to the Shen Mansion, it was already dark.

When she got off the carriage, she happened to see Shen Xi staring blankly at the gilded plaque of the Shen Mansion. She whispered to him, "One day, I will turn 'Shen Mansion' back into the County Lord's Mansion."

Shen Xi nodded, "I believe you."

The driver had already driven away after the two got off the car.

Shen Muxi was about to ask the servant to open the door when Shen Xi's voice rang out beside him, "Muxi, look!"
