Chapter 145 From White Moonlight to White Rice Grains
When Gu Shi looked over, she quickly changed her expression to shock, as if she had touched something dirty, and threw away the small piece of face skin that she had torn from Shen Muxi's hand.
"What's going on? Why is your face still peeling?"
Shen Muxi's face suddenly changed, and he covered the part of his face that Yu Yuexi had grabbed and which was a different color from the rest of his skin.
Even though she moved quickly, Gu Shi still noticed something.
He strode forward and pulled away Shen Muxi's hand that was covering her face. He frowned and looked at the skin that was obviously much paler than the surrounding area. "What on earth is going on?"
He reached out to uncover her face, but Shen Muxi pushed him away in horror.
She looked at Gu Shi pitifully and said, "Please, don't look at me like that."
Kang had already taken a few steps back in fear when Yu Yuexi threw away her face. Seeing that she didn't let Gu Shi touch her face, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with your face?"
Gu Xiaoxiao wanted to go forward, but was stopped by He Yue.
Yu Yuexi continued to cover her mouth and exclaimed, "I recently heard a story from a storybook told by a maid. It said there was a female ghost who specialized in peeling people's faces. This..."
"Watch less clutter."
Gu Shi was already feeling irritated, and when he heard Yu Yuexi say these words, he felt even more irritated.
"Who the hell told you this? If I hear it again, I'll give you a beating and sell you off."
Yu Yuexi immediately covered her mouth and didn't dare to say another word.
Gu Shi turned his attention back to Shen Muxi, "What's going on with your face?"
The tone was full of impatience, and...
disgust.
But in just a few breaths, Shen Muxi seemed to have lost all ability to defend himself.
She smiled sadly at Gu Shi, "Do you really want to know what's going on?"
There was a lot of helplessness and a bit of grievance in his voice.
In a trance, Gu Shi seemed to smell the familiar fragrance of lotus again, and he suddenly felt a little guilty.
"If you don't want to say it, there's no need to force it."
Shen Muxi's eyes suddenly turned red. "So, what you call wanting to rekindle our past relationship is actually just looking at a superficial appearance. Although I am haggard now, I still have some beauty. But when these two looks are gone, you will still abandon me like a piece of trash, just like when Xiaoxiao and I just came back from Danyang. You are used to the prosperity of the capital and can't stand the gloom of the past, right?"
As if she had suffered a great blow, she looked embarrassed and staggered back a step, "From the beginning to the end, you don't love me at all."
Kang couldn't bear to watch it any longer and looked at Shen Muxi impatiently, "If you're fine, just leave. If your face is injured, just apply some medicine. Why are you crying here? How can you be so rude? Aren't you afraid of corrupting the child?"
At this moment, the maid outside the door reported, "Grandfather, Prince, the princess is here."
When Kang heard that Su Liuxi had also appeared, her brows twisted into a knot on the spot, "What is she doing here?"
She was already annoyed enough by the arrival of these people, and now there was one more.
Without even thinking, she blurted out, "She caused such a big fuss yesterday. How can she not rest well? Let her go back and rest."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Liuxi came over with the support of Cui'e.
"My daughter-in-law came here this time mainly because I accidentally heard from other servants yesterday that my sister had returned. I was very happy. If I have been impolite in any way, I hope my mother-in-law will not be offended."
Shen Muxi followed the voice and looked towards Su Liuxi.
The latter didn't look well, as if she hadn't slept well the previous night, and there were some dark circles under her eyes...
Shen Muxi calmly withdrew his gaze and continued with his part.
Kang murmured quietly, "Now that you're here, you're trying to shut me up. Can I really chase you away?"
Su Liuxi turned a deaf ear to it, her eyes passing Kang Shi. The moment she saw Shen Muxi, her eyes suddenly burst into ecstasy, and her tone was intimate, "Sister..."
Shen Muxi looked at Su Liuxi with a cold face, "I can't bear the fact that you call me sister."
Upon hearing this, Su Liuxi immediately looked at Gu Shi pitifully.
But Gu Shi obviously didn't want to see her at this time. "Didn't I tell you to rest in the main courtyard? What are you doing here?"
Su Liuxi looked aggrieved, "But you didn't tell my sister that she was back..."
"Whether Mumu comes back or not has little to do with you. If you're not feeling well, just stay in the main courtyard and recuperate. Why are you going back and forth?"
Su Liuxi wanted to say something else, but when she met Gu Shi's cold eyes, she couldn't say anything.
She turned around and saw Shen Muxi watching with great interest. When he met her gaze, he even raised his eyebrows slightly provocatively.
A sinister look flashed in her eyes, but soon she put on a harmless smile. "I'm naturally overjoyed that my sister is back. After all, you're now half a guest of my Rongjun Palace. If there's anything you're not used to, you can tell me."
"Really? So what you mean is that if I can't get used to your presence, you can leave the Rongjun Palace for me?"
In the past, Su Liuxi said this because she saw that Shen Muxi was thin-skinned. Whenever she said this, the end result was always that Shen Muxi would be stabbed in the back.
I didn't expect that Shen Muxi would directly refute it this time.
Facing Shen Muxi's deliberately pretending ecstasy, she felt a surge of anger stuck in her heart, unable to vent, but unable to swallow it, "I..."
"Okay, I'll take care of this. It's not something you should worry about. You don't need to worry about it."
Gu Shi seemed to see through her thoughts at once, and the impatience in his eyes almost turned into reality.
Su Liuxi clenched her back teeth, but still had an understanding and harmless smile on her face. She looked at Shen Muxi with eyes full of envy.
"Sister, you are so lucky, but..." When looking at the torn human skin mask on Shen Muxi's face, Su Liuxi's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Sister, it is better to show your true face to others. After all, our Rongjunwang Mansion is different from the past. It would be bad if someone with ulterior motives took advantage of it."
No one present paid any attention to her.
She couldn't keep the smile on her face, and finally she could only leave, looking back every few steps.
Shen Muxi took in all of Su Liuxi's little movements and Gu Shi's attitude. If the scene wasn't inappropriate, she wouldn't have been able to resist slapping her former self twice.
Indeed, Gu Shi’s attitude played a big role in Su Liuxi’s success in every plan.
But the bigger reason lies with herself.
At that time, she only wanted to save everyone's dignity, so she let Su Liuxi succeed again and again, which eventually cost her her life, and Xiaoxiao almost died tragically...
"Mother, next time Su comes here, if she does anything wrong, she should be punished. She should be punished seriously, lest she lose her manners over time and then leave, bringing shame to the Rongjun Palace."
Gu Shi's voice abruptly brought Shen Muxi back to her senses.
When Gu Shi mentioned Su Liuxi at this time, his eyes were no longer filled with tenderness.
Shen Muxi couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.
Look, it only takes a few months to turn from white moonlight into white rice grains.
Men, what you can never get is the best.
