Spring in the East Palace

Li Rong had already helped Shen Rushuang to sit down. Shen Rushuang happened to see the Buddhist scriptures copied by Shen Muyin. Every word was neatly written. It was really for calming the mind and not just for killing time.

Shen Muyin responded calmly, "Muyin came here early this morning to apologize to grandma. Although what happened yesterday had nothing to do with Muyin, it still caused a stir. It was also Muyin's fault for not informing grandma in advance, which made grandma unhappy. So I came here early this morning to apologize to grandma."

Even when saying these words, Shen Muyin looked at Shen Rushuang neither humble nor arrogant.

"You are thoughtful." Shen Rushuang smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

Although Shen Rushuang didn't say anything about what happened yesterday, the Shen family was in chaos and Shen Rushuang was unhappy after all.

After all, Shen Rushuang doesn't like to see internal strife, she likes harmony.

"Grandma, I had no choice but to act yesterday. I can't tell anyone about the things that His Highness has gifted me, lest His Highness think that I'm trying to get close to the Eastern Palace." Shen Muyin explained softly.

Although, he had already been implicated and severely punished by that person.

"But I had no choice. I also didn't want Second Mother to misunderstand that I stole her pearls. After all, Second Mother's pearls were also given by the Emperor. That's why I asked my grandmother to investigate thoroughly." Shen Muyin explained his motives.

As he spoke, Shen Muyin sighed, "Because of this, the whole family was in turmoil. Muyin felt guilty, so he came to the ancestral hall early in the morning to apologize to his grandmother and to ask for forgiveness in front of the Buddha."

Every word of Shen Muyin's words was perfectly matched, and every word hit Shen Rushuang's heart.

Indeed, Shen Rushuang was unhappy and made a big fuss yesterday.

After finding the pearl in Concubine Liu's room, Concubine Liu and herself cried, and Shen Zhenzhen tried to persuade them.

Shen Changsheng was clearly biased and didn't mean to blame anyone at all.

At the end of the quarrel, Shen Rushuang had a terrible headache and became angry on the spot. Li Rong immediately took Shen Rushuang away and called a doctor to see her.

But they are all old illnesses and they are the same no matter how you look at them.

And up to now, neither Concubine Liu nor Shen Zhenzhen had appeared before him to pay their respects and confess their guilt.

The one who came was the most innocent Shen Muyin.

"Okay, you are thoughtful." Shen Rushuang nodded.

"This is what Mu Yin should do." Shen Mu Yin smiled, took the initiative to step forward and support Shen Rushuang.

But Shen Muyin's hand had already touched Shen Rushuang's pulse. Her brows were inadvertently wrinkled, but soon relaxed.

No wonder, Shen Rushuang passed away half a year after I returned to the Shen family in the last century.

Judging from the pulse condition, the patient has been poisoned for a long time and is seriously ill.

Her spirits would only get worse day by day. But for Shen Muyin, this was not completely helpless.

She is waiting for an opportunity.

Shen Muyin lowered his head in thought. The next moment, footsteps were heard outside. Shen Muyin looked up. Ha, the opportunity has come.

She stood there calmly, and the servant had already run in.

"Madam, the second lady is here." The servant said respectfully.

Shen Rushuang nodded and let the person in, but her expression remained lukewarm.

Concubine Liu walked in quickly. Shen Muyin took a look and saw that Shen Zhenzhen was not following her. Shen Muyin smiled silently.

She knew that something had happened to Shen Zhenzhen.

But on the surface, Shen Muyin remained calm.

On the contrary, when Concubine Liu saw Shen Muyin, she was surprised, and a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

How is it possible that Shen Muyin is standing here safe and sound? What I reported was that Shen Muyin had already taken a bath, but now she has no reaction at all?

Concubine Liu frowned and for a moment she forgot to greet Shen Rushuang.

The unhappiness in Shen Rushuang's eyes became more and more obvious. This second branch of the family was now taking her less and less seriously, and even forgot to pay her respects.

"Why are you looking at me, Second Madam?" Suddenly, Shen Muyin looked at Concubine Liu with a half-smile and asked calmly.

"You..." Concubine Liu was silent for a moment.

Shen Rushuang sneered: "Second room, why haven't you had enough of yesterday's incident? Are you going to make a scene again in front of me today?"

"Mother, I dare not." Concubine Liu knelt down immediately.

Shen Rushuang had no intention of letting it go. Perhaps looking at Shen Muyin and Liu Jieyu, the balance naturally tilted towards Shen Muyin.

"As an elder, you falsely accused Mu Yin yesterday. It is reasonable for you to apologize to her." Shen Rushuang said to Concubine Liu in an imperative tone.

Concubine Liu was stunned. She never expected Shen Rushuang to speak like this.

Now, Concubine Liu looked at Shen Rushuang passively.

"If no one from the Eastern Palace had come, wouldn't Mu Yin have taken the blame? Besides, if you don't apologize, what will happen if the Eastern Palace finds out?" Shen Rushuang said sternly.

Concubine Liu's expression became even uglier, and she was completely unable to refute what Shen Rushuang said.

Shen Muyin then spoke softly, "Grandmother, please don't be angry. Second Mother is just upset because she lost the pearl given by the Emperor. After all, this is a capital crime. I went to the East Palace yesterday and explained it to His Highness. His Highness didn't seem to blame me."

These words made Concubine Liu tremble even more.

Everyone in Yan State knows the East Palace’s temper.

Just because Donggong doesn't blame Shen Muyin doesn't mean they won't cause trouble for her. After all, it was she who framed Shen Muyin for the pearl being stolen.

Isn't this equivalent to calling the Eastern Palace a dirty thing?

He was afraid that he really didn't want to live, so he dared to say such things and make indirect accusations against the Eastern Palace. If the Eastern Palace wanted to take action, there would be no room for negotiation.

Thinking of this, even if Concubine Liu was unwilling, even if she knew that Shen Muyin did it on purpose, she had no way to do anything.

Shen Muyin walked slowly towards Concubine Liu and took the initiative to help her stand up.

"Second Mother, don't worry about it. What happened yesterday is over." Shen Muyin looked at her with a smile on her face.

But when Concubine Liu looked at Shen Muyin's face, she felt as if she saw the most vicious look.

Concubine Liu shuddered from the bottom of her heart. After a long time, she finally found her voice: "You...you..."

"Second Mother, I'm fine." Shen Muyin remained calm.

But the next moment, she lowered her voice and put it close to Concubine Liu's ear. Her voice was so low that only they could hear it clearly.

"Don't worry, I will live well to the end." Shen Muyin seemed calm when he said these words, "Then I will watch you go to hell one by one."

When Concubine Liu heard this, the trembling feeling in her heart became even more obvious.

Without thinking, Concubine Liu was about to slap Shen Muyin in the face.

"You country bitch, I shouldn't have agreed to let you come back." Concubine Liu was really angry and furious.

Shen Muyin stood where she was, not even dodging, as the slap was about to fall on her face.
