Chapter 127 Hiding the handkerchief left by Shen Muxi
She didn't know whether the subsequent arrangements would make Gu Shi heartbroken.
But it will definitely make Gu Shi feel disgusted with Su Liuxi for a while.
Thinking of this, a smile with twisted satisfaction appeared in her eyes.
Finally, the guards outside the study changed shifts.
When Shen Muxi got up and was about to sneak into the study, a sharp sword was quietly placed across her neck.
Her body suddenly stiffened.
Feeling that the other person was about to stroke her neck, she quickly tilted her body, causing the veil covering her face to fall off.
As early as when she sneaked into Prince Rong's Mansion, she was prepared to be caught.
So she used Shen Muxi's original face and covered it with a handkerchief to make it even more obvious.
The purpose was to disgust the other people in the house when he was caught, and to scare Su Liuxi and her daughter at the same time.
However, when she saw Gu Shi's eyes change from sinister to shocked and then to ecstasy, she felt a little regretful.
Given Gu Shi's arrogant nature, he might have thought she had sneaked into Prince Rong's mansion specifically to see him secretly...
As if confirming her thoughts, Gu Shi pushed away Chen Shiliu's sword-wielding hand and said in a feigned indifference, "Didn't we agree to treat each other with respect? How come you can't hold back after just a few days?"
unlucky.
Shen Muxi tried hard to resist the urge to roll her eyes and made up an excuse.
"I'm here to take Xiaoxiao away."
Gu Shi told Chen Shiliu to leave before turning back to look at her. "Xiaoxiao is doing well here. She doesn't want to leave."
"Whether they want to or not is not up to you or me. It depends on what the child wants."
She spoke calmly and coldly.
Gu Shi's eyes were fixed on her, afraid that she would disappear from his sight in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, he wanted to find the previous eagerness in her eyes...
But no...
Not only was there no enthusiasm, there wasn't even any extra emotion.
The forced disguise could not hold up after all, and he seemed to have lost all his strength.
"sorry."
ha?
Shen Muxi thought she was hallucinating after hearing the sudden apology, and a flash of doubt flashed in her eyes.
"Xiaoxiao's face..." Gu Shi took several turns to finish the words that were on the tip of his tongue. "I didn't know it was so serious at the time."
It would have been fine if he didn't bring up the incident of Xiaoxiao's face being bitten before, but now that he brought it up, Shen Muxi's emotions, which had finally calmed down, seemed to have found an outlet.
She could no longer maintain the calmness on her face, and her hatred for Gu Shi became more and more obvious.
"Can a simple "I'm sorry" bring Xueqiu back? Can it restore Xiaoxiao's face to its original state?" Shen Muxi sneered, "Gu Shi, you shouldn't say this "I'm sorry" to me."
"I've already apologized to Xiaoxiao." Gu Shi spoke before Shen Muxi could speak again, "Xiaoxiao has forgiven me now, and she won't leave..."
If you like, I can let you live with Xiaoxiao in Bishuiyuan.
"No need. Even if Xiaoxiao is really willing to forgive you now, it doesn't mean that the hurt you've suffered doesn't exist."
Before Gu Shi could finish his words, Shen Muxi interrupted him excitedly, "You may not love us mother and daughter, but you should never take us back and then ignore us..."
By the end of her speech, her voice was choked with sobs and she pushed Gu Shi away and trotted away.
Chen Shiliu, who was not far away, wanted to catch up but was stopped by Gu Shi.
"No need to chase."
He looked at the direction where Shen Muxi left, his eyes blurred, and he murmured, "As long as the child is still in the house, she will come back."
Chen Shiliu frowned slightly, but didn't dare to say anything else.
Turning around, he saw a handkerchief on the ground and took a few steps forward to pick it up.
A large, bony hand was one step faster than his.
On the handkerchief was embroidered a picture of koi carp playing with lotus.
Gu Shi trembled slightly while holding the handkerchief.
My thoughts suddenly drifted back to the time in Danyang.
During the first year he and she knew each other, their life was still very difficult.
It was she who made them a full New Year's Eve dinner with vegetables and tofu.
Among them is the Koi Playing with Lotus made of tofu and vegetable leaves - the carp is made of tofu, and the lotus leaves are made of vegetable leaves.
That New Year's Eve dinner was the most exquisite meal they had eaten since they were stranded in Danyang. Even their mother, who was always picky, did not say a word.
As if possessed by some mysterious force, he could not help but take the handkerchief in his hand and sniff it.
It’s still that faint fragrance of lotus.
Shen disliked rouge and powder, but loved lotus flowers. Therefore, every summer when she was picking lotus root silk, she would pick some lotus petals, take them home to dry, grind them into powder, and sew them into sachets.
He also had a sachet of that kind...
Shen knew that he always had trouble sleeping at night, so she specially added tranquilizing grass to his sachet.
Unfortunately, when he just returned to the Rongjun Prince's Mansion, he lost the sachet...
Thinking of this, Gu Shi tightened his grip on the handkerchief, and looked distraught.
Shen Muxi had just trotted away and hadn't gone too far, so she was able to see the entire scene.
The moment he saw Gu Shi carefully put the silk handkerchief into his arms, a sneer slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
...
Under Gu Shi's deliberate instructions.
It was several days later that Su Liuxi found out that Yu Yuexi had her flesh cut out to treat her injuries.
She had always wanted to find time to see her daughter, but the answer she got was no.
This was the countless times Cui'e was turned away at Luoxiayuan.
"Miss, the little lady must have had a grudge against you because of Tianlang's death. If this continues, you and your daughter will definitely become estranged."
Whenever Su Liuxi gets excited, she feels a dull pain in her lower abdomen.
A few days ago, Chen Shiliu came to tell her in person that Gu Shi had met Shen Muxi again and had hidden a handkerchief, which had made her very frightened.
If Gu Shi hadn't ordered her not to get out of bed these days, she would have found an opportunity to find Yu Yuexi and ask her in person about the skeleton.
Thinking that Gu Shi had been staying in the study these days, she became even more restless.
"Forget it. She's probably not going to listen to anyone's advice now. I'll go find him myself."
"Miss, you can't get out of bed yet..."
"Go and make arrangements."
Su Liuxi didn't want to listen to Cui'e anymore.
The situation is critical now, it would be strange if she could still sit still.
Just as Su Liuxi struggled to get out of bed and go see Yu Yuexi in person, Yu Yuexi was not idle either.
"Are you sure that Uncle Gu has really been going to that little bitch these days?"
When Mrs. Xin heard that Yu Yuexi still showed her disgust towards Gu Xiaoxiao as usual, she wanted to go up and shut her mouth immediately.
"My lady, we shouldn't say such things. Miss Xiaoxiao is in favor right now. What if you let other people with ulterior motives hear this?"
Yu Yuexi snorted coldly, "What else can I do? Even if I listen to her, she is still an orphan whose mother died. How can I be afraid of her?"
