Chapter 192 Is it really his fault?
Chapter 192 Is it really his fault?
Gu Shi suddenly stopped.
Just like when Shen Muxi came back to Nanyuan for the first time, he called her.
The scene before my eyes is so similar.
In just half a year, everything has changed.
Gu Shi's messy hair fell on his temples.
After a while, he spoke dryly, "You got the wrong person."
His voice was hoarse and had a hint of desolation.
The air was filled with the stench of rotting flesh, and a few flies were lingering around his broken arm.
It is obvious that after his arm was broken, the injury was not well cared for and there were signs of infection.
Shen Muxi stood there and took in his miserable state.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
After a while, she finally gave a sarcastic smile.
"Really? Then I'll just treat you as a stranger I've never met before.
Do you think Gu Shi wants to know why Pei Wang knows so much about such a secret thing as him taking credit for someone else's work? "
Gu Shi suddenly turned his head to look at her, "Is it you?"
"It's me." Shen Muxi nodded generously, and looked at Gu Shi with an increasingly calm gaze. "Gu Shi, haven't you been asking me why I didn't forgive you?"
why?
Gu Shi looked at her calm face.
For a moment, the words on the tip of my tongue could not be uttered.
Shen Muxi took in his expression.
The smile on his lips deepened. "Because, when you left Mulan Mountain with Su Liuxi in your arms, I was already dead. If you had taken another step forward, you would have seen my mutilated corpse, but you didn't."
As Gu Shi's gaze gradually turned from astonishment to horror, Shen Muxi nodded vigorously, "Yes, the female corpse in Mulan Mountain is me. You didn't recognize her when you were in Mulan Mountain, so I had no choice but to fish her out from the deep pool at the other end of Mulan Mountain so that you could have a good look at my tragic death."
"By the way, do you want to guess why Xiaoxiao is so cold and even disgusted with you?"
As she spoke, she took a step forward.
Gu Shi quickly took several steps back.
Because his arm was broken, he lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Looking at Shen Muxi approaching him step by step, he kept moving himself backwards with his legs as if he saw a demon.
While shaking his head, he kept shouting, "No, I don't believe it. You've clearly been back before."
"Because I come back to collect interest."
Gu Shi had nowhere to retreat. Shen Muxi stopped one step in front of him, looking down at him condescendingly, her smile growing brighter.
"Gu Shi, haven't you ever thought that your mother's death was very strange?"
"Oh, by the way, let me tell you one more thing. Xiaoxiao's throat was burned by your mother. So, before she died, I made her watch her legs fall out before I killed her. Also, Su Liuxi and her daughter, Yu Yuexi had Xiaoxiao's nails pulled out and strangled her to death. Now that I can give her a quick death, it's the last time I'll show her kindness as a child."
Although he had a guess in his mind, Gu Shi was still unwilling to believe it.
"No, you are not that kind of person."
"I am such a person."
Shen Muxi interrupted Gu Shi coldly, "Gu Shi, don't talk about the Shen Muxi you knew before. The pure and kind Shen Muxi who always put you first was already killed by your childhood sweetheart."
Thinking of the pain he suffered when he died, Shen Muxi looked at Gu Shi with eyes full of hatred.
The hatred was almost turning into reality, and he wished to cut Gu Shi into pieces the next moment.
It took her a while to pull herself out of her pain, and she looked at Gu Shi with a crazy look.
"Gu Shi, you definitely can't imagine how Su Liuxi died, right? If Su Liuxi hadn't died, Su Yong wouldn't have gone crazy so quickly..."
Gu Shi's eyes were stained with scarlet, as if he was suppressing his emotions.
He looked at Shen Muxi, who was laughing so hard that tears came out. After a long while, he finally squeezed out a sentence from his mouth with difficulty, "Why... did you become like this?"
Obviously...
She is such a kind person...
When she did something like this to retaliate against him, she would probably feel condemned by her conscience.
Otherwise, how could there be such a crazy mixture of love and hate?
He interrupted Shen Muxi and asked the question in his heart, "Do you still hate me?"
"hatred?"
Shen Muxi felt like she had heard a huge joke.
I held my stomach and laughed so hard.
Suddenly, she retracted her smile and looked at Gu Shi with a look full of resentment, "Gu Shi, you don't deserve my hatred. I only hate myself. How could I have been so blind to like you and hurt Xiaoxiao?"
"I was originally planning to use Su Liuxi and you to torture each other, but I didn't expect that both of you would be so useless. Su Liuxi couldn't bear the pain and provoked you, and you actually believed her provocation and trampled her to death..."
"Okay, stop talking, stop talking..."
If she continued, she would ruin the good image she had in his mind.
Gu Shi covered his ears with his only remaining left hand.
I want Shen Muxi to stop this conversation.
But Shen Muxi's laughter followed him like a shadow.
"You have to tell me. If you don't tell me, you'll be kept in the dark for the rest of your life, right?"
After she finished speaking, she squatted in front of him, grabbed his collar and pulled him forward, "Gu Shi, even if you can't empathize with the pain I've suffered, I will make sure you never have peace in your life."
Gu Shi didn't dare to look into her eyes. He kept turning his head away and not meeting her gaze.
"Why, didn't you want to ask me how I became like this? Now that I've told you the truth about everything, you're running away instead?"
She sneered and released the hand that was holding Gu Shi's collar. She stood up again and looked down at her condescendingly, "Gu Shi, let me ask you, you are the culprit who killed my mother and daughter. How can you have the nerve to question me now?"
is it him?
Did he harm her?
But in the beginning, it was clearly her own choice...
In Danyang, he didn't want to suffer, so when she appeared, he grabbed her like a life-saving straw, and didn't she also regard him as a safe haven?
Was he wrong?
He came back to Kyoto and got closer to Su Liuxi in order to take the Rong County Prince's Mansion to a higher level. He just wanted her to be more sensible. Who would have thought that she would not tell him when she was wronged.
Was he wrong?
She has always been brooding over the fact that she died in Mulan Mountain. Did he force her to go there? It was clearly her own fault for leaving without saying goodbye, and she died in an untimely manner.
In the end, she even pointed all the problems at him...
Was he really wrong?
Gu Shi revealed all his inner thoughts to Shen Muxi, and every question of "Is he wrong?" was full of his grievances.
Every word and every sentence was except for the few big words "I'm not wrong" engraved on his forehead.
It's simply...
Unrepentant.
"Yes, I can't blame you entirely. Ultimately, I have to blame myself. I blame myself for being blind. I blame myself for not being able to see how cruel you were. I blame myself for thinking I understood you and for putting my whole heart in front of you without reservation. In the end, I lost both my life and Xiaoxiao's life."
As if he wanted to vent the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time, Shen Muxi almost shouted at the end of his speech.
Fortunately, this place is remote, otherwise, with such an emotional conversation between the two, who knows how many people would have gathered to watch.
After yelling, Shen Muxi's mental state was obviously different.
Compared to when I first came here, I suppressed all my emotions.
She looked a little more lively now.
Gu Shi couldn't help but start to doubt himself - could it be that this was really his fault?
