Chapter 141 She doesn’t want to be a concubine just because she doesn’t want to leave me?
"Mother..."
Yu Yuexi moved her mouth slightly and called out softly.
Su Liuxi smiled at her sarcastically.
"I, who have only used you from the beginning to the end, am not worthy of being called mother by Miss Yu."
Yu Yuexi choked slightly.
"Is mother still blaming me?"
Su Liuxi didn't look at her.
She had extremely complicated feelings towards Yu Yuexi.
When she was pregnant with her daughter, she was always worried that her daughter's true origin would be exposed...
After Yu Hong finally died, they thought that good days had come for the mother and daughter.
Unexpectedly, the peaceful days didn't last for a few days before Su Kang, her enemy, came to bother her again and had another child...
Thinking of this, she finally couldn't help but glance at Yu Yuexi.
To be fair, this daughter looks like her and has the same personality as her.
Because of this, she knew Yu Yuexi's cruel heart...
Even though she hated her cruelty, she had to admit that her daughter had unexpectedly helped her a lot - she had already known that the child would not survive to be born and wanted to put the blame on Gu Xiaoxiao.
But whether she can successfully shift the blame depends on which side Gu Shi's heart is on.
It was obvious that since Gu Xiaoxiao returned home, Gu Shi had shown far more care and attention to her than before. If he had rashly pinned the blame on Gu Xiaoxiao, Gu Shi might have become suspicious and investigated thoroughly. If he hadn't pinned the blame on her, and the child suddenly disappeared, if Gu Shi valued her, he would still have investigated thoroughly...
Her belly couldn't stand scrutiny...
"Mother..."
Yu Yuexi's gentle call to her brought Su Liuxi back to her senses.
"What brings you here today?" She straightened herself up, changing her previous indifference.
Yu Yuexi lowered her eyes, hiding the sinister look in them. "My daughter heard that the old bitch surnamed Shen is back."
"what?"
Su Liuxi almost jumped out of bed and almost blurted out a denial, "Impossible."
Looking up and seeing Yu Yuexi's confident expression, she hesitated again, "But are you sure?"
"My daughter is sure," Yu Yuexi nodded. "Everyone in the mansion is talking about this matter now, and Uncle Gu hasn't told you yet. It's obvious that there's something going on..."
"Gu Shi wants to rekindle our old relationship." Su Liuxi pursed her lips.
Even though I don't want to admit it, this is the fact right now.
Perhaps, when Shen Muxi just came back from Danyang, Gu Shi did have some genuine feelings for her...
But habits are terrible things.
What's even more terrifying is that Gu Shi has become accustomed to Shen Muxi always being by his side without realizing it.
She could never forget the day of their wedding when Gu Shi called out "Mumu" in his excitement...
The distinction was so clear that she wasn't even given a chance to dream.
Whenever Su Liuxi thought of that night, she felt extremely humiliated.
Yet, the person who should have died is now alive and well and has returned to Prince Rong's Mansion.
"There must be something fishy about this..."
She tried to keep her voice and tone calm, but her hands, tightly clutching the quilt until her knuckles turned white, betrayed her inner nervousness and panic.
Yu Yuexi didn't say anything else, just stood there quietly waiting for what was to come.
After a while, Su Liuxi seemed to have adjusted her mentality and looked at Yu Yuexi again. "I'll let Cui'e stay with you for the next few days. You go with her to investigate. If she is really not dead..."
Su Liuxi paused at this point, and Yu Yuexi quickly asked, "How is it?"
Su Liuxi sneered, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Then let her die again."
I don’t know if it was because of jealousy or hatred, but Su Liuxi’s eyes were twisted and looked a little hideous.
Yu Yuexi nodded calmly, "My daughter will follow mother's arrangements in everything."
Not long after Yu Yuexi took Cui'e away from the main courtyard, Gu Shi also returned home.
It was already dusk.
He instinctively wanted to go towards his yard, but just as he took a step, the scene that Du Zhong described suddenly appeared in his mind.
Even though Su Liuxi might have been wronged, the truth was still unknown, and he felt uneasy in his heart. He finally turned towards the study.
Qin Shou followed quietly and reported to him in a low voice when he was sick, "Your Majesty, today the Madam went to the old princess's place."
Gu Shi paused for a moment, "What is she doing at Mother's place?"
"I've inquired about it, and she... doesn't seem to want to leave the Rong County Prince's Mansion?"
As soon as Qin Shou finished speaking, Gu Shi's face suddenly became as dark as water.
"Why is she being so pretentious?"
She said she didn't want to be his concubine, and he had already given in. He didn't divorce her, but bought her a house outside and treated her as his wife. What else did she want?
"No," Qin Shou's words interrupted Gu Shi's complaining thoughts. "I heard that the reason why Madam wanted to stay with the old princess seemed to be because of you and the young lady. I heard from the servants of Ronghui Hall that Madam wanted to watch the young lady grow up in the Marquis' Mansion with her own eyes, and she wanted to stay by your side quietly and see you every day..."
Qin Shou's words successfully dispelled the haze in Gu Shi's heart.
"So, she doesn't want to be my concubine just because she doesn't want to leave me?"
Gu Shi lowered his eyes, suppressing the surging and excited emotions in his eyes.
However, his trembling voice still betrayed his inner excitement at the moment.
He has complicated feelings towards Shen Muxi.
For the past few months, sleeping next to him was a thought from his youth.
However, every time he woke up in the middle of the night, he longed for the steamed bread that was deliberately left for him in the bitter winter; in the scorching summer, he longed for the mosquito repellent sachet with the fragrance of lotus and other medicinal aromas...
When he was healthy, that person stayed by his side without making any noise or fuss. When he was injured, that person would worry about him and stay awake all night, even taking care of him without sleep...
Ever since he picked up that handkerchief, whenever he thought of her, his nose would always be filled with the fragrance of her, the fragrance of lotus flowers mixed with lotus leaves...
even...
When he fell asleep, he could only hold tightly the embroidered handkerchief she left that day and smell the fragrance on it before he could fall asleep peacefully.
He was distracted for a moment and didn't even know when he returned to the study or when Qin Shou left.
His right hand began to ache again. He raised his left hand and gently massaged the injured area on his right arm. The sudden severe pain made him groan.
Almost at the same time, a pair of slender hands with thin calluses from work slowly placed their hands on his shoulders and began to massage him gently.
Gu Shi instinctively grabbed the other person's hand...
With a familiar exclamation, he immediately let go as if he was burned by fire.
"why you?"
He tried hard to show his impatience towards her, but the sudden light in his eyes the moment he saw her betrayed his ecstasy without reservation.
