Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 35: Please Your Grandmother

Shen Muyin was just listening.

But she knew that this was already a great embarrassment for Concubine Liu.

You know, in her previous life, Concubine Liu had almost everything going smoothly. The old lady was forced to death in less than half a year, and she successfully took control of the power of the Shen Mansion.

Later, Shen Muyin was imprisoned and Shen Zhenzhen got married.

Although she didn't know who Shen Zhenzhen married, she knew from Shen Zhenzhen's words that she married into a wealthy family and this man should not be underestimated.

The Shen family probably also benefited from it.

Now that she has suddenly become so embarrassed, Concubine Liu certainly won't accept it.

But so what? This was just the beginning of their embarrassment. She would only drag them down to the eighteenth level of hell, leaving them no room for maneuver.

Thinking of this, a hint of sneer appeared at the corner of Shen Muyin's mouth, which was cruel and bloody.

"Tomorrow morning, go pay your respects to grandmother." Shen Muyin suppressed his emotions and spoke calmly.

"Why?" Fennel was stunned. "The old lady didn't get up so early. She also said that you don't have to go so early."

"It has its uses." Shen Muyin tapped Fennel's forehead.

Fennel touched her forehead and snorted, "Miss, you are too smart. I can't guess what you are thinking."

"Learn more, huh?" Shen Muyin smiled.

Fennel let out an "oh". Perhaps it was because of Shen Muyin's kindness that she quickly had a hundred thousand questions.

He asked about everything from the second room to Shen Huai, and why Shen Muyin knew that the bath water was poisoned.

Shen Muyin picked out what he could say and Fennel didn't doubt it at all and looked at Shen Muyin with admiration.

"Okay, go and have a rest." Shen Muyin didn't say anything more.

"Yes. I obey your command." Fennel said mischievously.

Then Fennel turned around and walked out of the house.

Shen Muyin just watched Xianxiang leave with a faint smile on his face.

Fortunately, she was reborn and everything can still be saved.

It was not until Fennel's figure disappeared that Shen Muyin slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next day, at five o'clock in the morning, Shen Muyin got up.

When Huixiang heard the noise, she immediately walked in and helped Shen Muyin dress up.

Then the master and servant walked towards the ancestral hall in a low-key manner. Huixiang looked at Shen Muyin and couldn't help but marvel at her.

"My lady, you have a very good memory. When I came to your house, Madam took me around for several times, but I couldn't remember it so clearly." Fennel sighed, "You can remember the way so clearly."

Moreover, Shen Muyin knew clearly where there were shortcuts and where not to go.

"Maybe I have a good memory?" Shen Muyin smiled.

But she knew very clearly that this was the road she had walked on for several years in her previous life, so how could she not remember it?

Naturally, Shen Muyin would not say these words.

Fennel said "oh" very obediently, and soon they arrived at the ancestral hall.

When Li Rong saw Shen Muyin, she was stunned for a moment: "Miss, why are you here so early today? Didn't the old lady tell you not to come so early to pay your respects?"

Shen Muyin smiled and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Madame Li, yesterday's incident was caused by my failure to speak up. So I feel guilty and thought I should come here early to apologize to the Buddha and recite some Buddhist scriptures to calm myself down."

Li Rong was really surprised when she heard this.

Young girls nowadays don’t like to worship Buddha in the ancestral temple. For example, every time Shen Zhenzhen came, she would just please Shen Rushuang and then leave immediately.

Concubine Liu was just pretending. If she was really asked to stay here with Shen Rushuang, she would always find excuses such as her poor health and would not stay long.

There are indeed not many people like Shen Muyin who come here on their own initiative.

"Then you may need to wait. The old lady is in good spirits today. She woke up very early and is now worshiping Buddha in the ancestral hall. She doesn't like to be disturbed while she is worshiping Buddha." Li Rong explained.

"I'm just copying Buddhist scriptures outside and waiting for my grandmother." Shen Muyin replied indifferently.

Li Rong couldn't help but look at Shen Muyin twice more, but didn't say anything.

Li Rong quickly ordered people to prepare paper, ink, brush and inkstone. Shen Muyin nodded in thanks and began to copy Buddhist scriptures carefully in the side hall outside the ancestral hall.

With Fennel accompanying them, the side hall suddenly became quiet.

Shen Muyin's handwriting was very beautiful. Hui Xiang couldn't help but say, "Miss, your handwriting is really beautiful."

These words made Shen Muyin pause with his pen, as if he had thought of something.

In the previous life, Shen Zhenzhen also said the same thing to her, and then pestered her to teach him how to write.

You have to know how much effort the Shen family spent to cultivate Shen Zhenzhen. Shen Zhenzhen's handwriting is very distinctive, gentle and beautiful.

Compared with her own, it seemed much softer, so there was no need for her to teach Shen Zhenzhen how to write.

But Shen Muyin believed it.

Until the very end, Shen Muyin found the love letter she had written from Chunxiang in the house. Every word in the letter was about her secret love for the prince consort of the current dynasty.

And from the handwriting on it, one can tell at a glance that it is Shen Muyin's.

Shen Muyin had no way to defend himself.

Now that I think about it, the seeds of conspiracy were planted the moment Shen Zhenzhen asked me to teach her how to write.

Shen Zhenzhen was not really trying to learn his own handwriting, but for the purpose of imitating it in the future. This connected many things from his previous life again.

But Shen Muyin was only one step away from the truth, and he had no idea who the person hiding in the abyss was.

It definitely can’t be the Shen family. The Shen family doesn’t have that ability.

In this matter, the Shen family is at best just a pawn.

"Miss, can you teach me how to read when you are free?" Huixiang looked at Shen Muyin expectantly.

Shen Muyin calmed down and smiled, "Okay."

Fennel nodded excitedly, stood obediently aside, and watched attentively, and Shen Muyin also spoke carefully.

This scene was seen by Shen Rushuang in the ancestral hall. She had finished reading the Buddhist scriptures and was just watching quietly.

Nanny Li supported her from the side and said, "Madam, the eldest lady's mind is clear, which is very rare. If the second lady came here on weekdays and knew that you were chanting scriptures, she would turn around and leave."

People cannot be compared with each other. Once compared, the difference will be immediately apparent.

Shen Rushuang nodded, and then said calmly: "What did she come to my place so early in the morning for?"

"I can't guess it." Li Rong replied with her head down.

It was really hard to guess what Shen Muyin was thinking. She was far more graceful than a 16-year-old girl should be, and didn't look like someone from the country at all.

"Go out and take a look." Shen Rushuang nodded.

Then Shen Rushuang said nothing and walked quietly out of the ancestral hall.

Shen Muyin heard the noise, put down the brush in his hand, stood up and greeted Shen Rushuang: "Muyin greets grandma."

Shen Rushuang nodded: "Get up. Why did you come here so early today?"
