Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 176 Completely Disappointed

These words made Shen Rushuang stiffen slightly, as if she suddenly didn't know how to answer Shen Muyin's question.

Shen Muyin had helped me climb up the ladder in the Eastern Palace, but it seemed that they didn't have any deep feelings for each other.

Since childhood, Cheng Huan's children were all from the second wife, so Shen Rushuang could not answer, but looking at Shen Muyin's expression, Shen Rushuang had to bite the bullet and agree.

But Shen Muyin suddenly laughed, not giving Shen Rushuang any chance to speak: "You don't know how to do that, do you?"

Shen Rushuang was speechless.

"I'll help you and tell you who poisoned you. But in the end, it can't change the position they hold in your heart. And to you, I'm actually just an outsider, right?" Shen Muyin was not angry, he just asked.

But every word and sentence was intended to separate Shen Rushuang from himself, and he didn't even give Shen Rushuang any face.

Shen Rushuang's face became paler and paler.

Nanny Li quickly stepped forward and said, "Miss, that's not what the old lady meant. The old lady naturally cares about you. It's just that the old lady hopes that the family will be harmonious and everything will be prosperous."

Nanny Li was persuading Shen Muyin and calming her down.

Shen Muyin looked at Nanny Li indifferently and just smiled.

Then her eyes fell quietly on Shen Rushuang again: "Grandma, I respect you as the elder of the Shen family and you treat me well. But I can't do anything about this matter."

After he finished speaking, Shen Muyin nodded slightly, then turned and left.

She thought she would never come to the ancestral hall again.

Just like in her previous life, Shen Rushuang could not survive the Ghost Festival.

After the Ghost Festival, things will change for the Shen family.

Shen Rushuang wants to protect the Shen family, but in the end, the Shen family will only go to the end of the road.

Shen Muyin left the ancestral hall. There was a hint of despair in Shen Rushuang's eyes. Nanny Li wanted to speak, but in this situation, she didn't know how to say it.

In the end, it was nothing more than a long sigh.

It's probably fate.

When Shen Muyin left the ancestral hall, he did not return to his own courtyard, but went directly to the third house in the North Garden.

Beiyuan was still lifeless, no different from before. Chuntao was the only servant serving, and Shen Huai still looked crazy.

When Shen Muyin came, Chuntao saw her from a distance and ran over in a hurry: "This servant greets the young lady."

Shen Muyin nodded and asked calmly, "How is Sanniang doing recently?"

Chun Tao shook her head and groaned, "It has always been like this, and there has been no improvement. It has been like this for many years."

Chuntao sighed as she spoke, but Shen Muyin didn't say anything.

Then Shen Muyin walked quietly towards Beiyuan, her brows lowered and her expression expressionless.

The conversation with Chuntao was nothing more than for the servants squatting in the corner nearby to hear. These words had to be heard by Shen Changsheng, so under such circumstances, the play had to be performed.

Soon, Shen Muyin and Chuntao entered the room.

Compared with the decay and desolation outside, the room was filled with a faint floral scent, which made people feel very comfortable.

"Sister." Shen Huai called Shen Muyin.

He looked at Shen Muyin carefully, and only after he was sure that there was nothing wrong with her did Shen Huai feel relieved.

Shen Muyin smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine. There was no danger in the paddock."

No one would believe him if he lied and said nothing happened in the paddock, so Shen Muyin told the truth.

However, under such circumstances, Shen Muyin did not describe the tragedy in the enclosure in detail.

Shen Huai was an extremely smart man. He guessed what Shen Muyin meant in no time and nodded.

"I'm glad that sister is okay." Shen Huai responded.

Shen Muyin responded and asked about Liu Rushi's situation.

Shen Huai quickly continued, "Mom has been taking sister's medicine on time, and her health is gradually getting better. Please rest assured, sister."

It was like a terminally ill person who was brought back to life under Shen Muyin's skillful hands.

But to the outside world, Liu Rushi had been acting all the time and didn't tell anyone. This was the safest approach.

"That's good." Shen Muyin nodded.

She walked into the house and Liu Rushi just stood up. The two chatted for a while, but they were all about unimportant things.

Shen Huai stayed with the two of them the whole time and was very quiet.

It was not until Liu Rushi felt a little tired that Shen Muyin took her pulse again and prescribed a new prescription.

"Sanniang, your body has gradually stabilized during this period. This medicine is for the beginning of conditioning. The medicine is a bit strong and may cause a stress reaction. If you really feel uncomfortable, let Chuntao make this prescription for you. Remember, you must wait until you can no longer bear it, otherwise the effect of the medicine will be very poor." Shen Muyin explained carefully.

She wanted to stimulate all the toxins in Liu Rushi's body.

So this process must be very hard.

The other prescription is for relief, but these two pills are ultimately counteracting each other in efficacy, and taking too much will mean all the previous efforts will be wasted.

However, Shen Muyin didn’t know how long Liu Rushi could hold on, so he had to keep an eye on this prescription just in case.

"Don't worry, I've suffered all kinds of things over the years. I can't bear even this little bit of injustice now." Liu Rushi said with a smile.

Shen Muyin nodded, her eyes calm. Then she did not disturb Liu Rushi's sleep and quickly followed Shen Huai out.

The two of them were sitting in the outer room.

Shen Huai was making tea. Shen Muyin asked him some questions about the shop, and Shen Huai answered him truthfully.

Shen Muyin nodded, feeling confident in Shen Huai's ability to handle the matter.

"There's one more thing I want you to check for me." Shen Muyin put down the teacup and looked at Shen Huai seriously.

"Sister, please speak." Shen Huai responded slowly and calmly.

Shen Muyin did not hesitate: "Do you remember Shen Zhenzhen's horse?"

"I remember." Shen Huai was very direct. "It was a Ferghana horse bought from the Western Regions at a high price. It is very suitable for women to ride. If I remember correctly, it arrived at the Shen Mansion about three years ago. There has always been a special person to serve it."

Horses are different from ordinary cats and dogs. They cannot be kept as pets. They must have special stables and grooms to serve them.

There is a stable in the backyard of the Shen Mansion, and Shen Zhenzhen’s horses are also raised here.

Shen Muyin knew this.

"Sister, is there something wrong with this horse? Isn't it..." Shen Huai hesitated for a moment and looked at Shen Muyin, "Is it dead in the hunting ground?"

No one was hiding this news, so everyone in Kyoto already knew about it, so it was not surprising that Shen Huai knew about it.

So Shen Huai couldn't figure out why Shen Muyin asked about the horse.

"Can you help me find out where this horse came from?" Shen Muyin asked directly. "Even if it is from the Western Regions, the Shen family should have a way to buy it. After all, it is a Ferghana horse, and its number is extremely rare. If we follow the clues, we should be able to find its origin."
