Chapter 110 Shen Muxi in Kyoto
"What on earth happened today?"
As soon as she stepped into Luoxia Garden, Su Liuxi couldn't wait to ask Yu Yuexi.
Yu Yuexi glanced at the servants around her in horror.
Su Liuxi understood and waved to the servants, "You guys leave first."
Soon, only Yu Yuexi and Su Liuxi were left in the room.
Only then did Yu Yuexi burst into tears, "Mother, that little bitch came back for revenge."
Su Liuxi immediately reached out and covered Yu Yuexi's mouth.
"What exactly is going on?"
Yu Yuexi's eyes were filled with fear again at this moment.
"I...I think I saw that old bitch."
Because of fear, her voice suddenly became much higher.
Su Liuxi's heart tightened, and she covered her mouth again, "If you talk too much again, I'll give you your tongue."
Yu Yuexi finally stopped talking, and her trembling body betrayed her fear at the moment.
Su Liuxi's expression was not much better. When she released her hand that was covering Yu Yuexi, beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead.
No one knew better than her how Shen Muxi died. Even the peeled face was burned by fire. How could it be possible that it would still appear?
Correct.
How could a dead person appear?
"You must have seen it wrong."
She murmured to herself, as if to comfort Yu Yuexi, or as if to comfort herself.
"You're not mistaken, mother, that old bitch..."
As if remembering something terrible, Yu Yuexi plucked the pearl flower off her head and said, "She also put this pearl flower on my head herself."
Yu Yuexi's words were like a thunderclap, scaring Su Liuxi so much that she almost lost her balance.
"what?!"
...
study.
A string of roughly polished nanmu bracelets was lying quietly on Gu Shi's desk.
This was what he stepped on when he left Bishuiyuan just now.
I heard from the servants at Bishuiyuan that these were beads that Gu Xiaoxiao bought for him today. She strung them together one by one and asked her maid to help tie the knot...
Thinking back to when I was at Bishuiyuan, I seemed to have been really impulsive...
Gu Shi hesitated for a moment, but finally put the rough nanmu bracelet on his hand.
"Tuk-tuk-"
There was a light knock on the door.
Chen Shiliu came in with a secret letter.
"Master, there is news."
Gu Shi's eyes lit up slightly, and he accepted the secret letter handed to him by Chen Shiliu.
After he showed the letter and read its contents, the expression on his face suddenly changed from indifference at first to nervousness, and finally even his hand holding the letter was shaking.
His expression was complicated and conflicted, and in the end, there was even a hint of joy.
"Sure enough, when my daughter is here, you will show up..."
Chen Shiliu asked, confused, "Master, do you have any news about...that person?"
Only then did Gu Shi realize that there was someone else around him.
He immediately put on a stern face and said, "If anyone comes looking for the young lady in the next two days, have that person come to see me first."
Even he himself couldn't explain clearly what he felt in his heart.
I only know that I want to see Shen Muxi very much.
Question her in person: Why did you make things so serious?
The desire to question was so strong in his heart that he asked the question directly with anger.
Chen Shiliu quickly knelt down, "Your Highness...I...I don't know what I have done wrong? What big trouble have I caused? I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
The anger that Gu Shangshang hadn't yet suppressed froze on his face, and for a moment, the study fell into an awkward silence.
He quickly cleared his throat and said, "Get up."
When Chen Shiliu got up, he accidentally glanced at the message on the letter that Gu Shi had placed on the desk and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, are you... worried about... her?"
Chen Shiliu wanted to mention Shen Muxi, but for a moment, he didn't know what reason to use.
As early as three months ago, the prince had announced to the public that there was no such person as Danyang...
Before the wedding, he went to the palace to apologize to the emperor. The emperor was merciful and only fined him six months' salary and never mentioned the matter again...
Now his excessive concern for Shen Muxi made him feel a sense of crisis, and he wished he could grow wings and fly to Su Liuxi to tell her the news...
However, since a few days ago, he has felt that the prince seems to no longer trust him...
After thinking it over, he tentatively spoke to Gu Shi, "Your Highness, there is actually a saying in my hometown."
Gu Shi's attention was still on the secret letter, especially the word "Kyoto" which was particularly prominent in the letter.
"What statement?"
"If your wife and children at home cause you too much worry, it's probably because you owed them in your past life, and they're coming to collect the debt in this life."
"presumptuous."
Gu Shi stood up immediately like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"Who allowed you to talk nonsense like this?"
Chen Shiliu knelt hurriedly and said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have said such nonsense."
Looking at Chen Shiliu's submissive look, Gu Shi thought of Zhuifeng again.
A feeling of pent-up air surged from his chest to his throat, but he swallowed it back.
After a while, he spoke in a slightly more relaxed tone, "Forget it, leave."
Being here would only be an eyesore to him.
I don’t know why Zhuifeng valued him so much in the first place?
Chen Shiliu retreated quietly, not even daring to make a sound when closing the door.
The study was quiet.
Gu Shi casually crumpled the secret letter into a ball.
Ever since Gu Xiaoxiao came back, the memories that Gu Shi had deliberately forgotten always come up inadvertently.
In the past, he never thought that there was anything wrong with what he did to Shen Muxi.
Or perhaps he always felt that since Shen Muxi accepted the name he gave her, she was his, and whatever she did for him was natural.
But he didn't know what was going on recently. Whenever he thought of Shen Muxi or saw Gu Xiaoxiao's aggrieved look, he felt a lump in his heart.
Sometimes it was so congested that he even had trouble breathing...
"I really am here to collect a debt."
He exhaled lightly and sat back down.
...
Several days passed in a flash.
Ever since returning from outside that day, Yu Yuexi never went to look for Gu Xiaoxiao again.
Everything seemed calm.
Only Gu Shi knew that everything seemed to have changed.
He knew that he had wronged Gu Xiaoxiao.
In the first two days, Gu Shi deliberately lowered his status and wanted to have breakfast with Gu Xiaoxiao.
But when Gu Xiaoxiao really had dinner with him, he became inexplicably irritated again.
It’s because she always looks at him with eyes filled with tears.
That aggrieved look seemed to remind him of the day seven months ago when he last saw Shen Muxi arguing with her...
At that time, he had clearly said that if he and Xixi really had something going on, she would have nothing to do with it...
But now, it has only been seven months, and he feels as if he is in another world.
Feeling guilty, he patiently lowered his posture and gently coaxed his daughter, "Okay, I'm only wronging you this once. Next time, before Daddy encounters something, I'll listen to you and not wrongly accuse you again, okay?"
Gu Xiaoxiao turned a deaf ear and didn't even glance at Gu Shi.
