Chapter 113: Reunion: Xiaoxiao misses you, and I miss you too
"Your Highness, how long do we have to wait?" Wang Ying followed Gu Shi curiously. Seeing Gu Shi's unfriendly expression, he couldn't help but ask.
Gu Shi's gaze remained fixed on Yueya Lane.
Just now, he saw with his own eyes Su Liuxi and Su Yong enter Yueya Lane.
Even though the two of them were in a hurry, the look in their eyes when they looked at each other was not innocent at all.
He waited and waited, for a whole incense stick of time, but he didn't see the two people come out.
Countless scenarios and possibilities flashed through his mind.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Under Wang Ying's questioning, he finally couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart and rushed towards the house where Su Liuxi and Su Yong had entered.
Blinded by anger, he didn't even notice that the door of the house not far away was opened.
I bumped into a middle-aged woman in her forties.
Both of them fell to the ground.
Before he could react, a deafening wail came from in front of him.
"Ah! You lecher, you rascal!"
Gu Shi was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he suppressed his temper and asked Wang Ying to deal with the middle-aged woman who was pestering him.
He, on the other hand, went to Su Liuxi's house.
I had just turned a corner when another house opened its door.
Two people came out.
"Don't worry, Boss Zhou. The ink pads are all top-notch. We will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."
That familiar voice.
Gu Shiru was struck by lightning.
Turning around, I saw Shen Muxi, dressed in civilian clothes, smiling and saying goodbye to a young man in a satin robe.
He seemed to be frozen in place.
Shen Muxi seemed to have not expected to meet Gu Shi in such a place.
The moment she saw Gu Shi, her face was filled with ecstasy at first, but the smile quickly disappeared and she went back to the house in fear to close the door.
"Don't leave."
Gu Shi stepped forward to block the door that she was about to bolt, "Xixi, I know it's you, open the door."
Perhaps his words worked, and the strength behind the door suddenly disappeared.
Gu Shi lost his balance and stumbled and fell in.
There was a missing stone slab on a step at the entrance. It was dark and the road was slippery, so Gu Shi couldn't see. He twisted his foot and landed heavily on his knees.
He ignored the pain in his knees, crawled a few steps on his knees, and finally grabbed Shen Muxi's hand.
"Why are you hiding from me?"
The moment Gu Shi grabbed Shen Muxi's hand, he could still feel Shen Muxi's desperate struggle.
"Xixi, let's talk."
He used almost all his strength to stop her from struggling.
I don’t know if it was his effort that worked, or if it was the words “let’s talk” that worked.
Shen Muxi finally stopped struggling.
She turned her head away and didn't look at him.
"I came here this time to take Xiaoxiao away. Don't worry, since you haven't acknowledged the existence of Xiaoxiao and me, my mother and I won't disturb you and Su Liuxi."
"not like this."
He struggled to grab a branch of the vine rack beside him, and stood up tremblingly while enduring the severe pain.
Before standing up, he waited expectantly for Shen Muxi to support him.
Just like before.
Unfortunately, until he stood up completely, Shen Muxi just stood there in a daze.
like a statue.
What was even more outrageous was that he finally stood up and took a step towards her.
She actually took two steps back.
Gu Shi looked at Shen Muxi like this. For a moment, the ecstasy in his heart was covered by a bitterness, and thousands of words seemed to be stuck in his throat.
After speculation that she had met with an accident, she was framed and later disappeared. I have been thinking about her but can't find her.
Now that she was right in front of him, Gu Shi actually felt a sense of relief.
At this moment, it seemed as if all the previous resentment had disappeared.
As long as she's still in front of me...
As long as she stays by his side...
"Where have you been... these days?"
His heart was pounding and he struggled to squeeze out a word from his throat.
Shen Muxi smiled bitterly, "You and Su Liuxi lived together, and I wanted to go back to Danyang to live my life well, but I didn't expect to be betrayed and my property in Danyang was sold.
I finally thought I had found someone I could trust for life, but I didn’t expect to be deceived and sent to Nanyuan again...”
Listening to her story, Gu Shi's heart felt like it was hit hard by a club. He couldn't help but interrupt, "Xiao Xiao is living well in the Rongjun Palace now. She misses you very much..."
I also...
Miss you.
Looking at Shen Muxi's red eyes, Gu Shi couldn't say the following words.
He thought that as long as his eyes were affectionate enough, Shen Muxi would definitely be able to feel his feelings, just like before.
No matter what happens, she is always by his side, holding his hand, and looking at him with eyes full of love for him: You and I are in tune with each other, and there are some things that I understand even if you don't say them.
"Gu Shi, from the moment you accepted Su Liuxi to stay in the Rongjun Prince's Mansion, there was no possibility for us. I was stupid before and couldn't figure out the trick.
Later I thought it through, I learned my lesson, and I don’t want to bother with you anymore.
This time I came back to take Xiaoxiao away with me."
As soon as Shen Muxi said the word "leave", it felt like a corner of Gu Shi's heart collapsed instantly.
"What did you say?" He spoke with a trembling voice, as if confirming with Shen Muxi...
He didn't understand. He was just weighing the pros and cons. Why did Shen Muxi become so heartless?
When Shen Muxi turned away, the coldness in her eyes poured out with her voice, "Xiaoxiao was kidnapped. I searched for a long time before I found out that it was your people who took her away. I chased her all the way back to Kyoto for more than a month. Considering that we knew each other, please let us go."
Her voice was low, and if you didn't look at her expression, anyone would have thought she was just feeling down.
Including Gu Shi.
"impossible."
With almost no hesitation, he growled, poked the bamboo pole forward and wanted to hold Shen Muxi's hand.
"If there's anything, let's talk about it when we get back. You don't have to make ink anymore. I can..."
"Prince Rong asked me to go back. In what capacity? As a concubine?"
Shen Muxi didn't give him a chance to touch her, and asked two questions in a row, which stumped Gu Shi.
Gu Shi's mouth moved slightly, but before he could explain, he heard her speak again, "You and Su Liuxi are now married, what else do you want from me? Do you really want to force us mother and daughter to death before you can feel at ease?"
"That's not what I meant..." Gu Shi became anxious.
"Prince Rong, if you had told me your identity at the beginning, I would have cut my losses in time, but you didn't. You accepted my efforts as a matter of course, but in the end, you despised my lowly status..."
The moment she turned around and looked at Gu Shi again, Shen Muxi was already in tears.
Gu Shi lowered his head guiltily, not daring to meet her broken eyes.
He was always eloquent in front of Shen Muxi, but at this moment he couldn't say a word.
Shen Muxi had an expression that said "I knew it would be like this", raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and returned to her previous cold look.
"Xiaoxiao, I will take her away. I would rather bear the title of a widow than let her become a concubine or a mistress."
Gu Shi suddenly looked up and said, "I can give Xiaoxiao a status and ask for her to be named a county lady."
"and then?"
Shen Muxi looked straight at him, with undisguised sarcasm in his eyes.
"Before, Xiaoxiao and I didn't even have a status in the Rongjunwang Mansion, so we allowed the people in the mansion to bully us. Now, Xiaoxiao and I have left, but you said you want to ask for her to be named County Master. Gu Shi, where do you want to put Su Liuxi now?"
