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

Chapter 107 Laying Mines

Gu Shi was slightly stunned.

No one had ever talked to him about this issue before.

Now that Gu Xiaoxiao had said that, he began to remember some details. The pastries Yueyue had given him before were all fresh...

Without waiting for Gu Shi to think about it, Yu Yuexi's eyes suddenly turned red, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao sister, I... I'm just so happy to see you back..."

"Don't be afraid, sister." Before Yu Yuexi could finish her words, Gu Xiaoxiao took the initiative to walk in front of Yu Yuexi and took her hand with her clumsy left hand. "If you are in danger, tell Daddy, and Daddy will help you, sister."

The little girl in front of him spoke with a different tone of voice, but she still stated her position seriously.

From beginning to end, she never said anything to make things difficult for Yu Yuexi.

In this way, it seemed that Yu Yuexi's behavior of bringing things here was a bit petty.

In addition, there is a contrast in their appearance, one is fair and plump, while the other is pale and thin.

The skinny one has to fumble to comfort the plump one. The scene looks awkward and weird no matter how you look at it.

He knew that this was Yu Yuexi's prank, and Gu Xiaoxiao had just been found. He didn't want to cause misunderstandings between the two sisters because of such a small matter, so he had to smile and smooth things over. "Okay, we are all sisters. Daddy will be happy if you can get along well."

After saying this, he ordered the servants to add more bowls and chopsticks.

Gu Xiaoxiao secretly glanced at Gu Shi twice.

The latter just kept a fatherly smile on his face and didn't mention what Yu Yuexi had just done.

A hint of loss flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.

Gu Xiaoxiao ate very carefully.

Looking at Yu Yuexi again, she had just sat down and her cheeks were bulging.

When Gu Shi saw Yu Yuexi eating like this in the past, he just thought it was the shy and cute nature of little girls.

But when he thought about how much his daughter had suffered outside these days, his throat had not yet fully healed, and he couldn't even eat as heartily as other children.

Yu Yuexi had first used some spoiled food to play a prank on Xiaoxiao, and now she was able to eat it with big mouthfuls as if nothing had happened...

the first time.

He was actually a little upset.

He raised his hand and scooped a bowl of bird's nest soup for Gu Xiaoxiao.

"Eat slowly, eat as much as you can, and grow taller."

Gu Xiaoxiao was flattered, "Daddy..."

Gu Shi touched her head lovingly and said, "You have suffered a lot these days."

Looking up at Gu Shi's slightly moist eyes, she put on a serious face and said, "Xiao Xiao is not afraid of hardship."

Seeing his daughter so sensible and well-behaved, Gu Shi felt even more pity in his heart, "Follow daddy from now on, daddy will not let you suffer anymore."

He Yue, who was serving on the side, had already seen the interaction between the few people.

Seeing Gu Shi's sudden care for Gu Xiaoxiao, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Making a promise is like farting. It would be a compliment if even 10% of what you say can be believed.

Yu Yuexi's cheeks were about to burst. She waited for a long time but Gu Shi didn't call her "little greedy cat" as caringly as before. She couldn't help but look up at Gu Shi.

Just when she saw Gu Shi looking at Gu Xiaoxiao with a loving expression, jealousy flashed in her eyes and even her face became ferocious.

But thinking that Gu Shi was still there, she tried hard to put on a sensible look, but her mouth was stuffed with too many things, and her expression of wanting to relax looked even more ferocious.

The breakfast ended with Yu Yuexi's face furrowed with constipation.

During this period, Gu Shi was called away by Chen Shiliu on official business grounds.

Before leaving, he didn't even glance at her.

She didn't understand why her trump card that had easily caught Gu Shi's attention in the past was now useless?

Then I thought about it.

Now, Father Gu Shi was just deceived by Gu Xiaoxiao's pitiful appearance.

But it doesn't matter. As long as she and her mother take action together, all problems will be solved quickly.

Thinking of this, Yu Yuexi smiled a little more. When Gu Xiaoxiao was about to leave the dining room and return to the house with the maid, she grabbed Gu Xiaoxiao's hand.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, I heard there's a delicious bean cake shop behind Wutong Alley. How about we go and try it today?"

There were other servants around, so Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't openly confront Yu Yuexi.

He Yue stepped forward with a smile, "Miss Yueyue, our young lady can't eat anything that will choke her throat yet."

"It's okay, just think of it as going out to relax." Yu Yuexi held Gu Xiaoxiao's hand unwillingly, "It's sunny today, perfect for going out."

He Yue objected repeatedly, "That's not possible, even though it's just the beginning of spring..."

Yu Yuexi's face suddenly turned red. "The master is talking, why would a servant like you interrupt?"

She was determined to take Gu Xiaoxiao out.

He Yue pretended to be frightened and lowered his head to retreat.

Without He Yue's obstruction, the embarrassment on Gu Xiaoxiao's face only lasted for a moment, and then she obediently followed Yu Yuexi's wishes and went out with her.

...

at the same time.

Someone came to Pei Mansion that no one expected.

"You insist on seeing me?"

Pei Wang frowned and looked at the young girl in front of him who was about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Since yesterday, this woman has been persistently asking to see him outside the door.

No matter how hard you try, you can't drive them away.

Helpless, the servant had to ask Pei Wang for his opinion.

Pei Wang thought that there was new progress in the case he was handling and that the person who came was his secret agent, so he went to meet him.

I didn't expect it to be a strange face.

The young girl, Shen Muxi, didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. "Master Pei, how about we discuss a cooperation?"

...

Half an hour later.

Shen Muxi left Pei Mansion contentedly.

As she turned into the dark alley, a man in coarse cloth passed by her.

"coming."

Shen Muxi paused slightly, "Then greet them well."

The man in coarse cloth nodded slightly and quickly disappeared in the crowd.

Shen Muxi returned to the carriage.

He rubbed his temples tiredly.

Since returning here a month ago, her nerves have been almost on edge.

Fortunately, the bombs set for Gu Shi and Su Liuxi have almost been laid, and next, she is ready to go on stage.

While he was thinking, the carriage sank.

Shen Muxi opened her eyes and saw Hongdou enter the carriage and whispered something in her ear.

After Hongdou finished speaking, a gleam of light flashed in Shen Muxi's eyes.

"Why don't you take the evidence that's offered to you?"

Hongdou lowered her eyes, "This servant thinks so too. If we investigate the mother and daughter carefully, we will definitely find out more."

Shen Muxi ordered, "Give that old woman some silver and tell her that our people will protect her grandson, but the premise is that she must tell us everything she knows."

"Yes."
