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

Chapter 114 Marrying me is also unfair to you

Seeing that Gu Shi remained silent, Shen Muxi continued to sneer, "Or do you think you are now capable enough to compete with someone in a high position and ask him to forgive your crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Her words were so outrageous that Gu Shi's expression changed immediately.

"You are presumptuous."

"So what if I'm presumptuous? Do you want to kill me again?" Shen Muxi's voice suddenly rose to cover up Gu Shi's angry rebuke, as if he wanted to pour out all the grievances he had suffered in the past few days.

“Yes, I haven’t been in Kyoto these days, but that doesn’t mean I’m a fool.

Wasn't it because you denied Xiaoxiao and I's existence in Danyang that you were able to marry Su Liuxi?"

Her question, word by word, was like a knife, flying towards Gu Shi mercilessly. For a moment, Gu Shi was unable to withstand it and retreated repeatedly.

"That's not the case. I thought she was you..." He interrupted hastily, his anxiety turning into resentment mid-sentence, "If you hadn't stayed away from home, I wouldn't have..."

Shen Muxi sneered, "If thinking this way can make Prince Rong feel better, then think so."

After saying that, she turned around and left again. This time, Gu Shizhi stood there staring blankly at Shen Muxi's back.

The evening breeze blew, bringing with it the chill of winter. The chill seemed to have life, striking his heart straight through the cracks in his bones.

It soon turned into boundless anger - how could she say such irresponsible words?

Just when he wanted to catch up and ask Shen Muxi what she meant, Shen Muxi suddenly stopped.

"Gu Shi."

She didn't turn around.

"Let's all let each other go. This way, we can still maintain our last bit of dignity."

"I don't..."

"Bam—"

This time, without giving him any chance to speak, she entered the house and closed the door directly, without any other sound.

Gu Shi tightly grasped the stick in his hand. Just as he was considering whether to continue forward, Wang Ying appeared behind him.

"Master."

Gu Shi took a deep look at the closed door.

He raised his head and suppressed the lump in his throat, "Let's go back."

The master and servant quickly left the courtyard.

Behind the door inside the house.

Murong Jingyan looked at the woman who was looking outside coldly with a smile.

"What a passionate woman who couldn't get the love she wanted. She even wanted to be polite when she broke up with him. She even had to rent a new house to see Gu. Aren't you afraid that he will really let you go?"

"Didn't you leave?"

Without even raising her eyelids, Shen Muxi opened the door and took out some cold water, intending to wipe her tear-stained face.

Murong Jingyan did not answer her question, but stepped forward and snatched the handkerchief filled with cold water from her hand, replaced it with a piece of warm brocade and stuffed it into her hand.

“Why suffer when you have the conditions to live a good life?”

Shen Muxi threw the warm silk into the cold water, then picked it up and meticulously washed away the tears on her face with cold water.

"It's so comfortable that I forget all the suffering I've endured."

Cold water can help you stay clear-headed.

Her tone was indifferent, and she didn't even frown while washing her face. She even started to chase people away, "Your Highness has seen enough jokes, you may go in now."

"You really don't want to see me?" Murong Jingyan raised an eyebrow, his tone a little teasing, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who wants to have more money than what's in the bowl. I don't have any so-called white moonlight."

Shen Muxi paused slightly while twisting the handkerchief, then threw it back into the copper basin. "Do you know you're very noisy?"

When she saw Gu tonight, she was already very upset, and Murong Jingyan even came to laugh at her. Naturally, Shen Muxi couldn't give him a good face.

Murong Jingyan seemed to notice that she was in a bad mood, and did not bother with her.

"Okay, I'm really leaving this time." He walked slowly in front of Shen Muxi with his hands behind his back, ignoring her murderous eyes, and waved at her with a smile, "See you in Nanyuan."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rose more than three feet from the ground, touched the top of the dead tree with his toes, and merged silently into the night.

Shen Muxi held his breath and waited for a long time but no one came back. Finally, he couldn't help but say "Pooh".

Murong Jingyan, so shameless.

...

After seeing the doctor, Gu Shi returned to Prince Rong's Mansion in a daze.

Su Liuxi is already at home.

When she heard that Gu Shi went out again not long after she did, her heart almost jumped into her throat.

As soon as she saw Gu Shi coming back, she immediately went to greet him with a smile.

"Brother Gu Shi, where have you been? Why are you back so late?"

Gu Shi unhooked her hand without leaving any trace, "You are curious about where I'm going, and I'm also curious about where you're going."

The fake smile on Su Liuxi's face froze slightly, but soon returned to normal, "Brother Yong came back suddenly, I went to see him."

"Why, do you have some shameful relationship? He can't come to the palace to pay his respects during the day, so you have to go out in the middle of the night?"

Su Liuxi choked.

Gu Shi had never spoken to her in this tone before, and it was even more impossible for him to suspect her relationship with "Su Yong"...

A sense of crisis spread from the bottom of her heart.

She explained with a stiff smile, "What do you mean by visible or invisible? Brother Gu Shi, what are you talking about?"

Didn’t I mention to you before that my father wouldn’t allow Yongdi to be a knight-errant? But Yongdi insisted on doing it. Now, when he came back, he wanted to find my father, but my father didn’t want to see him, so he had to rent a house outside to stay…”

"Really?"

Gu Shi obviously didn't believe it.

His eyes were full of suspicion.

Su Liuxi was panicking, and the smile on her face could no longer be maintained. "Brother Gu Shi, what do you mean? Brother Yong is my cousin. What shameful things could there be between us?"

As she spoke, Su Liuxi's eyes instantly turned red. "Are you dissatisfied with Yueyue because of Xiaoxiao's matter, so you also dislike me?"

This was the first time that Su Liuxi showed such an "aggressive" side in front of Gu Shi.

That aggrieved look and the already obvious belly made Gu Shi once again doubt his judgment.

After meeting Shen Muxi today, he felt a little guilty towards Su Liuxi.

"It's my fault. There have been too many things going on lately and I'm a little upset." He softened his voice and explained to Su Liuxi.

Su Liuxi let him embrace her and nodded understandingly, "I understand, Brother Gu Shi, but you have to believe me, when I was with you, I didn't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labor. I also heard a lot of rumors that I shouldn't have heard..."

"I know. Marrying me is really unfair to you." Gu Shi gently straightened her up, and the fatigue on his face could not be concealed no matter what. "I'm a little tired today. Go back to your room and rest first."

It wasn't until Gu Shi took several steps that Su Liuxi realized that Gu Shi's walking posture was wrong. He was limping, obviously injured his leg...

Combined with the subtle herbal scent emanating from Gu Shi...

She had some doubts in her heart, but still kept a decent smile on her face.

"Brother Gu Shi, you've worked hard. You should have a good rest first."

After Gu Shi walked away.

Su Liuxi called Chen Shiliu.

"Where did the prince go today?"
