Zhuifeng strode to catch up, not forgetting to speak for Shen Muxi, "Master, I have seen clearly how the lady feels about you over the years. There must be a misunderstanding."

"Oh, misunderstanding? Isn't it enough that she misunderstood me?" Anger blinded Gu Shi's eyes and reason.

He ignored his status, pushed through the crowd and strode forward.

Shen Muxi looked amused.

"Isn't my misunderstanding of you caused by your repeated favoritism towards Su Liuxi and her daughter?"

The sound of Shen Muxi seemed to ring in his ears. Gu Shi stopped and looked around in confusion again.

But there was no one around him except the passers-by.

After a while, Gu Shi finally laughed at himself, "That woman, even after she disappeared, she still seemed like a ghost."

I regretted that my mind was affected by Shen Muxi.

He cleared his mind of all distractions.

Once again, he strode towards the familiar figure.

Shen Muxi sneered and counted down: three, two...

Not even one yet.

Cui'e's anxious voice came from behind Gu Shi, "It's not good, Your Majesty, please stay."

Shen Muxi has already suffered a lot from Su Liuxi's seemingly plausible tricks.

If the woman with a similar back figure was really arranged by Su Liuxi, then Su Liuxi would definitely not let Gu Shi see the woman's true face...

Look, isn’t Cui’e here?

She folded her hands in silence, watching Cui'e's performance.

Cui'e's voice just now attracted many pedestrians to stop and look.

Gu Shi stopped a little unnaturally.

"What's the matter?"

Cui'e looked at Gu Shi, almost crying, "My young lady is not feeling well. She just fainted again."

"Didn't the doctor say everything was fine? How could this happen?"

Gu Shi's undisguised impatience made Cui'e's heart tremble - the reason was so easy to say that she forgot to change it.

But the words had already been spoken, and it was unrealistic to take them back, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and lower her head and whisper, "I don't know."

Gu Shi glanced at the back figure several feet away, and then looked at Cui E who looked anxious.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and ordered Zhuifeng, "Go and bring Shen Muxi back."

When it comes to choosing between two options, Gu Shi will always choose Su Liuxi first.

This is the heartbreaking truth that Shen Muxi discovered after becoming a ghost.

Before his death, he still fantasized that Gu Shi could see Shen Muxi's true face, but in the end, everything was just a pipe dream.

It was her inability to judge people that had put her and her daughter in this situation...

Thinking that her daughter is still in their dilapidated little courtyard that doesn’t even have a name, her life or death is uncertain.

Shen Muxi only felt a sharp pain in his chest.

At this moment, her chest felt slightly warm, and then a stream of heat flowed from her chest to her limbs.

She vaguely felt that something seemed to be changing quietly.

Turning to look at Gu Shi, she was surprised to find that the original half-zhang distance between them had become one zhang.

She was delighted.

Unfortunately, before she could be too happy, she was pulled back to Gu Shi by a suction force.

On the street, at a corner that Shen Muxi couldn't see.

A handsome man in black with auspicious cloud patterns, who looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, was holding a carved wooden bracelet and asking a vendor selling wooden hairpins.

I don’t know what question he asked the vendor, but the vendor just shook his head.

He continued, taking the bracelet with him and walked to the next wood carving stall...

...

The moment he floated back to the Rongjun Prince's Mansion, Shen Muxi felt as if some shackles had been removed from his body. He felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

Moreover, she had just tried it. Since entering the Prince Rong's Mansion, she no longer had to follow Gu Shi closely like before.

Although it is not known how far away she can keep from Gu Shi in Prince Rong's Mansion.

But for her, not having to keep looking at those disgusting faces is a great blessing.

She couldn't wait to go to her daughter's yard.

The small courtyard, which was already very dilapidated, was even more deserted at this time.

A maid in willow green clothes impatiently placed a bowl of porridge that was so thin that even the rice could not be seen and had a light yellow hue on the small table beside Xiaoxiao's bed.

Because the force was too great, some of the porridge spilled out.

"Look at you, you were beaten by others, so you just took it. Now you're in this state. If you die here, you might even drag down others."

It felt like there was someone sitting next to me.

Gu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes with difficulty, only to find that she had no strength to lift her right hand.

Her world was silent. The maid's mouth opened and closed, as if she was accusing someone, but she couldn't hear what she was saying at all.

She struggled to get up from the bed.

Looking at the bowl of porridge as thin as water in front of her, she murmured, "Mammy An, I'm hungry..."

The green-clad maid slapped her on the head with her backhand, "Are you blind? Am I that old?"

There was a dull pain in the head. Gu Xiaoxiao's head, which was already dizzy from hunger, went dark. She could only mutter, "Who... who are you? I... I can't hear what you are saying..."

Shen Muxi turned back to Xiaoxiao and saw the maid hitting her daughter on the head.

She was shocked and angry.

After hearing Gu Xiaoxiao say that she couldn't hear the maid's words clearly, her entire soul suddenly became thin - she was scared.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you? Don't scare mother!!"

"What do you mean by not being able to hear others? Are you unable to hear clearly or can't you?"

Shen Muxi was so anxious that she wanted to pick up Gu Xiaoxiao and flee from Prince Rong's Mansion to see a doctor.

However, the rude person could not hear what Shen Muxi said, nor could he see Shen Muxi's madness.

Gu Xiaoxiao kept crying, "Why is there no sound? Wuuuuuu... I can't hear anything... I want Grandma An, I want my mother..."

The maid in green was already nervous.

Hearing Gu Xiaoxiao say that she couldn't hear any sound, she became even more upset. She raised her hand and slapped Gu Xiaoxiao on the head again.

Her hair, which used to be styled into a cute bun, was now as messy as two piles of weeds on top of her head.

"Why are you crying? If you don't drink the porridge, I'll starve you to death."

Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't hear what the maid said, but when she saw that the maid wanted to leave, she immediately wanted to chase after her.

But she hadn't eaten for a day and a night, and her right hand was dislocated. She couldn't maintain her balance and fell heavily to the ground as soon as she stepped on it. How could she possibly catch up?

The maid was afraid that others would see Gu Xiaoxiao like this, so she even slammed the door shut when she left in a hurry.

Xiaoxiao had already crawled after him and stretched out her left hand to pry open the door that was about to close.

The maid's force was too great, and she failed to retract her hand in time, so her four fingers were pinched hard.

She screamed on the spot.

This caused dissatisfaction among the servants outside.

"Chun Tao, you should be more careful when watching people. If you keep howling like ghosts and wolves, you'll disturb the other masters. I wonder how you'll end up like this."

Chun Tao smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I'll teach her a lesson right now."
