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

Chapter 161 Spring Hunting Storm

Shen Muxi raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, still saying, "Granddaughter doesn't know what grandma is talking about. If grandma has hysteria, granddaughter can find a doctor to treat her."

Shen Muxi's stubborn attitude obviously angered Hong. Her eyes bulged out, and she wanted to eat Shen Muxi alive. "You...you..."

"If Grandma is alright, I'll take my leave. There's still a lot to prepare for the Spring Hunt, and I can't waste my time on meaningless people and things."

After saying that, she really turned around and was about to leave.

In her haste to keep him, Mrs. Hong almost forgot that she had already had difficulty moving. She turned over and tried to get out of bed, but ended up rolling off the bed.

The maidservant who was serving on the side got Shen Muxi's approval and hurriedly cooperated to carry Hong back to the bed.

"Are you...are you satisfied now?"

Hong's voice came weakly from the bed.

Shen Muxi stopped as he was about to raise his foot again.

"Honestly..."

She turned around and gave Hong a big smile, "Very satisfied."

Mrs. Hong was so angry again that she almost couldn't breathe.

"You vicious woman, how did my Shen Mansion treat you so badly? You actually want to force everyone in my Shen Mansion to death?"

"Nothing wronged? Pushing them to death?"

Who pushed whom to death in the first place?

Shen Muxi tried his best to resist the urge to sneer at Hong.

Even though Shen Xi was gone, in her memory, it was a fact that Shen Xi was sent away as a child;

It was also true that Gong's health deteriorated day by day and she eventually died. She had also secretly visited Gong's bones, which were black and had deposits around the ribs, indicating that Gong had died of poisoning.

This is definitely related to the Shen family.

And it is a fact that after Gong's death, the Shen family intended to seize Shen Xi's marriage;

In the end, even the fact that Shen Xi died in the Shen Mansion was true.

At that time, Shen Xi had only been back from outside for three years. The originally cheerful and sunny girl became sensitive and inferior due to a series of misfortunes and eventually even lost her life.

The dowry left to her by her own mother was almost embezzled.

Every single incident is closely related to everyone in the Shen Mansion.

Why can't she seek justice from the people in the Shen family?

Behind her, Mrs. Hong was still cursing her viciousness with a look of resentment on her face.

Shen Muxi finally couldn't suppress the sneer on her face and tore off the disguise on her face, "If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being too greedy. You have received my mother's kindness, but you still want to swallow up all of her things. Now, I am just beating you back to your original state of having nothing. What's wrong with that?"

After saying this, she no longer paid attention to Hong's heart-wrenching screams behind her, turned around, raised her head and strode away.

She would not tell anyone in the Shen family that they had almost succeeded.

If she hadn't entered Shen Xi's body in time, the world would have long forgotten that the current Shen Mansion is the current County Lord's Mansion...

As long as she is still here, she is Shen Xi. She will never let anyone from the Shen family get their hands on anything that belongs to Shen Xi and her daughter. She will also take Xiao Xiao with her to travel all over the world for them.

...

There is autumn hunting in the five Central Plains countries in the east, south, west, north and center.

But the only place that has spring hunting is Nanyuan.

There is no other reason. The climate in Nanyuan is warm and there is no obvious distinction between spring and autumn.

It's only mid-spring now.

Whether they were common people in Nanyuan or nobles, they all changed into light summer clothes.

The spring hunt is held on March 20th.

The location is Quchun Mountain, eighty miles away from Yecheng.

Because of its beautiful scenery, abundant resources, warm winters and cool summers, a simple palace was built halfway up Quchun Mountain, specifically for the emperor to visit in spring and summer (the visit here refers to the emperor's personal arrival at a place rather than favoring it).

Because the news of Gu Xiaoxiao being taken away was leaked, Emperor An He saw how much Murong Jingyan valued Gu Xiaoxiao, so he specifically asked Murong Jingyan to bring Gu Xiaoxiao with him this time.

The moment the imperial edict came down, Shen Muxi's heart was in pain.

"What does your Majesty mean?"

According to the relationship between Murong Jingyan and Nanyuan Emperor Murong Mingkun, Shen Muxi does not believe that Murong Mingkun just wants to enjoy family happiness.

Murong Jingyan's expression was not very good either. "I will protect Xiaoxiao."

"No, I want to stay with Xiaoxiao every step of the way." Shen Muxi insisted.

After coming back, Shen Muxi was very uneasy because she couldn't let Gu Xiaoxiao go back to the Shen Mansion with her.

If Murong Mingkun really wanted to do something to Xiaoxiao, they were in the open and could not defend themselves.

Murong Jingyan obviously saw her worry and said, "I will protect you."

"it is good."

Time is running out and she has no ability to compete with the emperor.

If Murong Jingyan could help, it would be a good choice.

Shen Muxi weighed the pros and cons all the way until he returned to the Shen Mansion.

She was shocked to realize that Murong Jingyan did not seem to call himself "this palace" in front of her today.

...

The day of spring hunting is coming soon.

Murong Mingkun, who lived in the palace for many years, had only three opportunities to leave the palace throughout the year: spring hunting, autumn hunting, and summer vacation, so he naturally attached great importance to it.

In this trip, in addition to the queen, he also brought twelve concubines. The escort was grand, with music and flags fluttering, and the people lined the streets to see him off. It looked peaceful and tranquil.

In order to facilitate the concentration of personnel and reduce unnecessary additional expenses, Murong Mingkun went back to live in the palace, while other ministers set up camp outside the palace.

Murong Jingyan had a special status and should have been allocated a residence in the palace.

However, Murong Mingkun directly arranged for him to camp outside the palace like other foreign officials.

Because Shen Muxi had previously helped Murong Jingyan find his beloved daughter and their wedding was approaching, Murong Mingkun also tacitly agreed to Shen Muxi and Murong Jingyan living together.

There are two private rooms in the newly built tent.

Shen Muxi and Gu Xiaoxiao lived in the inner room, and Murong Jingyan lived in the outer room.

Watching the servants moving in an orderly manner, Shen Muxi always felt that something was wrong, "This arrangement..."

Murong Jingyan half-knelt down slowly and tied the rope of Gu Xiaoxiao's cloak.

"If the enemy comes, we will stop him with soldiers; if the water comes, we will block it with earth."

His tone was gentle and he didn't even frown.

Shen Muxi didn't say anything else.

Her eyes glanced casually to the side, her pupils shrank slightly and her mind froze.

"Why are they here too?"

Murong Jingyan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar face walking out of a tent not far away.

"Someone from the Shen residence?"

There was surprise in his voice.

Obviously, he was also very surprised by the sudden appearance of people from the Shen Mansion.

"Could it be..."

Shen Muxi stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the palace.

"he?"

Murong Jingyan frowned, "It's possible."

Murong Jingyan had never imagined that the people from the Shen Mansion could participate in the spring hunt right under his nose without any information being leaked beforehand.

"No matter what happens, don't let Xiaoxiao out of your sight. Leave everything else to me."

"it is good."

The two looked at each other in tacit understanding.

Fortunately, nothing else happened that night.

Early the next morning.

Murong Jingyan was summoned to the palace.

Shen Muxi and Gu Xiaoxiao had dinner in the tent.

Shen Rou appeared in front of the tent with a gentle smile and a food box.

"Excuse me, big brother. I want to bring breakfast to my sister."

Hongdou heard the noise and came out, and saw that the soldiers guarding the camp looked embarrassed when Shen Rou introduced herself, and their faces turned cold on the spot.

"My young lady has already had breakfast, please go back, Second Miss."

If it weren't for the servants from other mansions coming and going around, Hongdou would have wanted to tie the man up and throw him back to the tent at the Shen Mansion.

She felt that the second young lady was not a good person at first sight.

I never thought Hongdou's attitude was so cold and hard.

The smile on Shen Rou's face froze, and her watery eyes turned red.

"Sister, do you still not want to see me? I know that Mother and I did do a lot of wrong things back then, but I've already admitted my mistakes, and Sister didn't suffer any loss. Why is Sister unwilling to let us go?"

When she got excited, she raised her voice, and her tone was full of grievance.

Her disturbance aroused the curiosity of the servants in the nearby tents.

Many people were carrying buckets of water and looking around.

Hongdou gritted her teeth and said, "Second Miss, please don't talk nonsense. From beginning to end, Miss has never mentioned anything bad about the Shen family, let alone the estrangement caused by something that happened.

If the Second Young Lady still persists in her delusion, please forgive me for the offense."

After saying that, she took a step forward and was about to "invite" Shen Rou to leave.

Shen Rou seemed to have anticipated Hongdou's plan. She stepped back repeatedly with the food box in her hand, and her voice became a few notches higher.

"No, sister, if you don't forgive me, I...I will kneel here and not leave today."

"You..." Hongdou obviously didn't expect Shen Rou to have this trick.

Just when she was in trouble, Shen Muxi lifted the curtain.

"I'm curious, what did you do that I can't forgive you for?"

As he spoke, Shen Muxi winked at Hongdou, and Hongdou silently retreated back into the tent.

Hongdou, Heyue and Luoluo were accompanying Gu Xiaoxiao in the tent, which made Shen Muxi feel very at ease.

The moment Shen Rou saw Shen Muxi's increasingly beautiful appearance, jealousy grew wildly in her eyes.

Her eyes sank slightly, and she tried hard to hide the jealousy in them.

Her face still had that pitiful look on it, "Sister, I was wrong back then, I shouldn't have..."

"Since you can mention 'back then', it means that the matter has passed. Why are you so impatient?"

This was the first time Shen Muxi saw Shen Rou after returning to Nanyuan.

The woman in front of him was wearing a willow green dress. She was much thinner than before. Her cheeks, which had always been round and noble, were now angular, making her look a bit old and mean.

It's obvious that he didn't hold his fart well.

Shen Muxi was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first, and you don't have to stay."

After saying that, she turned around without mercy...

"elder sister..."

Shen Rou hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.

"It's not that I want to look for you, it's... yes, Dad..."

"Shen Chuanhai and I have nothing to say."

The turning action only paused for a moment, and then the whole process was completed smoothly.

I saw Shen Muxi walking back to the tent.

Shen Rou made a desperate move, her voice rising several pitches, "I know why you suddenly have such strong hostility towards the Shen family.

You secretly dug up your mother's grave, so you have a misunderstanding about the Shen family."

Shen Muxi stopped again and turned around, "What do you want to say?"

"I mean, you..."

"Whatever you mean," Shen Muxi interrupted Shen Rou impatiently, "My mother died at your hands. It's already a fact. If you know what's good for you, you should stop provoking me. Otherwise, I will make sure you can't even live in the County Lord's Mansion."

She was already suspicious.

Most of the servants in the County Lord's Mansion had obviously been purged by her once, so how could the County Lord's Mansion appear?

The only plausible reason is probably that her arrangements were predicted by someone, and her people in the County Lord's Mansion were controlled or bribed.

However, the original name of the County Lord's Mansion was established by Murong Jingyan himself.

According to Murong Jingyan's current reputation in Yecheng, Shen Muxi could not think of anyone else except the one in the palace.

The calmer the lake surface, the more turbulent the waves are underneath.

The more times like this happen, the more we should avoid unnecessary complications.

Shen Muxi tried hard to restrain the urge to give Shen Rouyang a handful of poison powder.

"If there is nothing else, don't appear in front of me in the future, otherwise..."

She walked slowly to Shen Rou's side, pausing slightly, "I must let you know what it means to live a life worse than death and regret your past actions."

Her tone was cold, and Shen Rou's back shivered for no reason.

She had no doubt that Shen Muxi's threats just now were just talk.

"elder sister..."

Her voice trembled.

"You and I have no relationship, so you don't have to call me sister." Shen Muxi coldly rejected her address.

Shen Rou looked at Shen Muxi's leaving back and gritted her teeth.

Soon, she seemed to think of something pleasant, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

...

Shen Muxi quickly returned to the camp.

She had only been away from Shen Rou for less than a quarter of an hour.

The camp was already empty.

Her heart tightened.

"What about people?"

The green ivy came back first.

Seeing Shen Muxi, he hurriedly went up to her with an anxious look on his face, "Miss, the little princess is missing."

"Aren't you guarding the tent? Why is there no one inside or outside the tent?" Shen Muxi spoke very quickly, but his eyes were not idle. He looked around, trying to find any clues around.

"After the young lady left, the people from the Shen residence came again, making a fuss and insisting that we had locked up Miss Shen Rou. Hongdou couldn't stand it anymore, so she followed them out. Who would have thought..."

Luoluo was so angry that her eyes turned red. "Who would have thought that not long after, someone came from the patrol camp again, saying they were looking for His Highness. His Highness had already gone to the palace, and Commander He was not there. The matter was urgent, so He Yue also left the tent to deliver a message to Commander He..."

"Afterwards, there was another riot not far from the tent, and the guards were dispatched to help quell the riot.

The young princess was worried about the young lady and insisted that I go look for you. I couldn't persuade her, so I left the tent to take a peek. But after just a few breaths, the moment I turned around, the young princess had disappeared.

When she talked about the latter part, Luoluo almost cried.

Each of these items is highly directional.

If she still can't figure out the trick now, then all the years of following the young lady would have been in vain.

Fortunately, Murong Jingyan had a trick up his sleeve.

"The young princess is leaving now, and there are secret guards following her. I just found the marks left by the secret guards. If we follow the marks left by the secret guards, we will definitely be able to find the young princess. Miss, don't worry."

It was her daughter who disappeared, how could Shen Muxi not be anxious?
