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

Splendid Hall.

Shen Muxi paid her respects to Old Madam Shen as usual.

Even though she went out to the Xiaodong Palace at noon today, she did not come back until the evening.

Old Madam Shen was not angry either.

Not only was he not angry, he even asked about her well-being for a while.

It wasn't until Shen Muxi's gaze towards her gradually turned cold that she spoke softly, "Grandma, in this life, all I want is to see you get married and have a good family..."

"So, grandma, just say what you want to say."

Shen Muxi spoke directly, forcing Old Madam Shen to swallow back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Her expression changed again and again, and finally she gave a wink to Aunt Liu beside her.

Nanny Liu handed a half-worn makeup box to Shen Muxi.

Old Madam Shen looked at her lovingly, "These were given to me by your mother when she married me. Now, I am giving these to you, which can be regarded as returning them to their original owner."

Shen Muxi did not take it and continued to look at Old Madam Shen with a cold gaze.

He seemed to feel guilty under her gaze.

Madam Shen couldn't help but turn away her eyes and whispered, "Your...sister was just young and ignorant and was deceived. Rumors always change their meaning as they spread."

"Why has the situation changed? Isn't it true that Shen Rou is pregnant? Isn't it true that the Anping Marquisate canceled the engagement because Shen Rou is pregnant?"

Shen Muxi asked back mercilessly.

Rumors have been swirling these past few days.

Her contribution is indispensable.

The purpose is to verify her guess.

Now is the time to verify the results.

"Xi'er, we are all family..."

"So, grandma is planning to let her granddaughter take over Shen Rou's reputation as a promiscuous person?"

Shen Muxi directly stated Madam Shen's plan.

Because she felt sour and angry, she didn't know whether she should laugh or cry first.

None of the remarks prepared by Mrs. Shen were used.

Facing Shen Muxi's red eyes, she moved her mouth slightly, and finally uttered a sentence lightly, "Grandma has no way..."

"No way? Grandmother, don't you know that insulting the royal family is a capital crime?" Shen Muxi sneered, "Or does Grandmother think that the prince looks easy to control, so she keeps testing his bottom line? Do you know how much trouble it would cause to the prince if this were to get out? How much damage would it cause to his reputation?"

It was common knowledge among the people of Ye City that the prince was out of favor.

Not to mention, the prince's reputation is now worse than the stones in the toilet.

"The Crown Prince already had a concubine before marrying you. If you tell His Highness, maybe..."

"impossible."

Without thinking, Shen Muxi refused directly.

Madam Shen didn't expect that even though she had been so humble, Shen Muxi would be so disrespectful. She stared at Shen Muxi with eyes wide open in disbelief, "Xi'er, how could you become so selfish?"

"Am I selfish?"

Shen Muxi was so angry that she laughed, "It was Shen Rou who did the wrong thing, why do I have to bear the consequences every time?"

In the past, they were very happy, but Shen Xi had to swallow his grievances.

Now, she is not Shen Xi, and she has endured a lot of grievances when she was in Beichen.

She could no longer compromise.

But Madam Shen couldn't understand her determination and continued to persuade her, "How could this be a bitter fruit? Your father just said today that if Your Highness has other bloodlines outside, His Majesty will naturally be happy to see it happen.

If you are willing, considering His Highness's fondness for you, he would certainly be willing to finalize your marriage with you in advance. After all, you have been running to the Little East Palace these days..."

"Grandma, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

Shen Muxi looked at Old Madam Shen in shock.

Is this something an old lady in a mansion could say?

Old Madam Shen also became angry.

The look she gave Shen Muxi was no longer loving.

"If I hadn't protected you three months ago, you would have been ruined. Women have to get married sooner or later and have children with their husbands. Grandmother, this is all for your benefit. Why are you so ungrateful?"

Shen Muxi originally thought that she was already disappointed enough with the people in the Shen family.

did not expect.

There is no most disappointing, only more disappointing.

Why do they take it for granted that she would destroy her own reputation just to take the blame for Shen Rou?

Shen Rou is indecent...

No, according to convention.

Shen Rou lost her virginity before marriage. Shouldn't she have aborted the bastard in her belly first?

Now we have to find someone to take the blame.

Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

It doesn't seem like the style of an old woman.

It seems more like...

The old woman wanted to keep the child.

Recalling that night, Shen Rou and Old Madam Shen had a vague glance at each other.

Shen Muxi narrowed his eyes slightly, but a look of relief appeared on his face.

"But... even if I bear this stigma, the Anping Marquis's son already knows that Sister Rou is pregnant. I'm afraid he might not agree."

Seeing Shen Muxi soften her stance, Madam Shen heaved a sigh of relief. "It's good that we can silence the gossips. The Anping Marquis's Mansion has already agreed not to cancel the engagement, and the wedding will proceed as planned."

What is the reason that forces Shen Rou to marry into the Marquis's Mansion?

Shen Muxi looked at Madam Shen's kind appearance again, and a layer of doubt filled her heart.

She decided to temporarily calm Madam Shen. "Okay, I promise Grandmother, but Grandmother also has to promise your granddaughter. This matter needs to be explained to His Highness by your granddaughter and we can see how His Highness reacts before making any further arrangements."

Madam Shen happily agreed, "Of course."

As she spoke, she looked at Shen Muxi with pity and sighed sincerely, "This is the good daughter of my Shen family. Come here and let grandma love you well."

"My granddaughter is a little tired today and wants to go back and rest first."

The goal had been achieved, and Old Madam Shen had no reason to keep Shen Muxi. She nodded and allowed Shen Muxi to leave with the things that Gong had given her before.

Nanny Liu went out to take a look, and only returned after making sure that Shen Muxi had gone far away.

"The young lady is completely disrespectful to her elders."

Madam Shen's face also turned cold. "Just give her this little face. Anyway, even if she marries into the Little East Palace, she won't live long."

Others don't know, but she knows.

The prince's health had already been in serious trouble. Even if he went to Beichen without any accidents, he would still die in Beichen.

How could Shen Xi possibly come back alive by then?
