Chapter 115 Waiting for the Vicious Dog
Chapter 115 Waiting for the Vicious Dog
Chen Shiliu had just returned not long ago, so he naturally didn't know where Gu Shi was. So he called Wang Ying.
Before Wang Ying came back, he had received Gu Shi's order not to disclose what he saw when he went out tonight.
He thought Gu Shi was talking about seeing Su Liuxi and Su Yong having a one-night stand. Under Su Liuxi's gaze, hesitant for a long time, and then told her that Gu Shi had gone to Yueya Lane today and met a very strange person.
Yueya Lane is where Su Liuxi and Su Yong often meet secretly.
Su Liuxi's heart suddenly tightened.
"Are you sure the prince was talking to a woman? And after entering that woman's courtyard, he was turned away?"
Wang Ying nodded. "Although I couldn't hear what Your Highness said, I could clearly sense that he was rejected by this woman. Your Highness looked very depressed."
Su Liuxi's heart tightened, "Can you see the woman's appearance clearly?"
Wang Ying shook his head. "When I arrived, His Majesty had already injured both of his knees, so it took some time for him to return."
Su Liuxi looked at Wang Ying deeply, trying to find some clues from him.
However, Wang Ying covered it tightly, and no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find any flaws.
"Okay, back off."
She walked back and forth in the warm room, holding her waist, thinking secretly in her mind.
It only takes an incense stick of time to get from the mansion to the house in the alley.
If he really discovered something by following her, Gu Shi would definitely not be as calm as he is now.
Gu Shi came back half an hour later than her.
Whether it was the smell of medicine on his body or the way he walked, it told her that he was injured...
That can only mean one thing - Wang Ying did not lie.
Yu Yuexi's words were still ringing in my ears.
Su Liuxi felt a chill in her heart.
"Could it really be her?"
No, it's impossible.
She was looking for Su Yong tonight because of this matter——
"Yueyue said she saw that woman."
Almost instinctively, Su Yong denied it, "Impossible."
He spoke decisively, "At that time, I ordered the maidservant beside you to bury Shen Muxi's remains in the outhouse behind the cold courtyard, which was reserved for servants. Under the suppression of filthy things, she didn't even have the chance to be reincarnated, so how could she possibly be resurrected?"
After repeated confirmation, Su Yong still gave the same statement.
Su Liuxi chose to believe Su Yong.
After all, given their current relationship, it's impossible for Su Yong to lie to her...
but...
What about the woman Gu Shi met today?
If it’s not Shen Muxi, who else could it be?
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became.
Su Liuxi called Cui'e.
"Were you responsible for burying that man's bones?"
Cui'e didn't know why Su Liuxi suddenly asked this, so she nodded and said, "I buried it myself with my confidant."
Cui'e's confident tone and attitude did not seem fake.
Su Liuxi pursed her lips.
"Well, send someone to dig it up and see if it doesn't work, have a master perform a ritual to liberate her."
After a pause, she added, "One of these days, ask someone to go to Yueya Lane to find out who has moved there recently."
Cui'e accepted the order.
...
The next day.
I don't know when the news of what happened in the warm room of the main courtyard the night before spread.
When Yu Yuexi was having breakfast and heard Xiaohong mention that Gu Shi and Su Liuxi seemed to have an argument, she thought there was something wrong with her ears.
"Did Daddy really quarrel with my wife over a woman?"
Xiao Hong nodded heavily. "This servant also found it incredible, so she asked other people. Even Nanny Xin hid herself and wiped away her tears, saying that men are unreliable and that the princess is really wronged..."
Mrs. Xin once served Su Liuxi.
Even if she was beaten or scolded, Yu Yuexi would never doubt Xin Pozi's loyalty to Su Liuxi.
Even Mrs. Xin cried, which shows that the problem is indeed serious.
Yu Yuexi said in a sinister tone, "Did those people mention what kind of woman could cause my father and mother to quarrel?"
Xiao Hong shrank back and whispered, "It seems...it seems to be Miss Xiao Xiao's biological mother..."
"Chong-"
Before Xiaohong could finish her words, Yu Yuexi had already smashed the porcelain bowl in her hand heavily to the ground.
"Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao, it's that bitch Gu Xiao Xiao again."
All the maids and servants serving on the scene knelt down.
Yu Yuexi swept the breakfast on the table to the ground with a ferocious look on her face.
Soon, she calmed down again.
"No, I can't lose my composure..."
Looking at Xiaohong kneeling and trembling in front of her, a vicious plan automatically emerged in her mind again.
...
"Ah-"
Gu Xiaoxiao had just finished breakfast and returned to her room to change clothes when she sneezed loudly.
He Yue wanted to wrap the entire quilt around Gu Xiaoxiao. "Miss, I told you long ago that it's still very cold at night, so don't expose your feet. Did you secretly expose your feet again yesterday?"
She was full of energy and had no lingering fear from yesterday when she was almost beaten to death by Gu Shi's men.
Gu Xiaoxiao obediently let He Yue dress her and sniffed, "Maybe someone is scolding me."
He Yue paused while dressing Gu Xiaoxiao, "Is it that mother and daughter again?"
"And there's the old princess who lives in Ronghui Hall." Gu Xiaoxiao added seriously, her young face filled with a serious expression that didn't match her actual age at all.
He Yue felt distressed and wanted to laugh at the same time, "You really are open-minded."
"What else can I do? Go complain to that prince?" When Gu Shi was mentioned, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but roll her eyes and muttered softly, "I might as well go to see mother secretly instead of telling him all this."
"Miss," He Yue buttoned the last button of her clothes and reminded her seriously, "We are playing a game now. We can't expose the people behind us in advance."
Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, she covered her mouth and nodded, "Xiaoxiao knows."
After changing clothes, He Yue took a few meat buns with added ingredients and went to the back garden with Gu Xiaoxiao.
The two of them walked from the time the sun just rose until it moved to the treetops. There was not a single person in the back garden except for the servants who were taking care of the flowers and plants.
"Sister Yue, will that vicious dog really come?" After walking back and forth for more than ten circles, Gu Xiaoxiao was tired.
He Yue wiped the sweat from Gu Xiaoxiao's forehead with concern, "Miss, let's hold on a little longer, it will be over soon."
Before dawn today, she received a letter and a few brown pills from Hongdou, asking her to add the pills to the meat buns and to bring the young lady for a walk to wait for the vicious dog.
But after waiting for a long time, no vicious dog was seen...
Just as He Yue was muttering whether to take Gu Xiaoxiao back.
Several dogs barked from far away and then came closer——
Along with the barking of the dogs, Xiao Hong screamed in fear, "Everyone, make way, everyone, make way."
