Spring in the East Palace

Soon, Shen Muyin changed her clothes. When Huixiang saw the embroidered shoes and socks on Shen Muyin's feet, she was stunned for a moment.

"Miss, why are these socks for men?" Fennel asked without thinking, "If someone sees this--"

"Just wear it like this, trust me, okay?" Shen Muyin tapped Fennel's forehead.

Fennel touched her forehead and felt a little pain.

But she thought, the eldest lady was so smart, she must have her own plans.

So in the end, Fennel didn't say anything and stood obediently beside Shen Muyin.

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard outside, and Shen Muyin raised his eyebrows slightly.

The person she was waiting for came.

But she remained calm on the surface, and the person outside the door pushed it open naturally without waiting for Fennel to open it.

Shen Zhenzhen was wearing bright pink and green, which perfectly matched this spring.

Even the flowers in her hair are filled with the breath of spring. Her pink makeup and red lips are so tempting that any man would like such a bright woman.

Compared with Shen Zhenzhen, Shen Muyin felt that he was too old and had an old mentality.

"Sister." Shen Zhenzhen called Shen Muyin crisply, her voice was soft and very pleasant to hear.

"Why is Zhenzhen here?" Shen Muyin called Shen Zhenzhen's name with hatred.

But on the surface she always had a smile on her face, and there was no sign of anything wrong.

"I made a special trip to send some snacks to my sister, because I was worried that she was not familiar with the way around the house and would be late for meeting grandmother." Shen Zhenzhen smiled at Shen Muyin, and concern was evident between the lines.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhenzhen placed the snack in his hand on the table.

She continued to mutter, "Sister, don't be angry. You just came back, and mother has been ill recently, so she hasn't had time to ask the housekeeper to prepare things for you. I will definitely make up for it later. After all, you are the eldest daughter of the Shen family."

Very gentle and well-educated tone.

This scene is exactly the same as in the previous life.

Until the day Shen Muyin died, she had always been in Xiyuan, but she had just lived there for many years and had some more personal belongings, that was all.

The only bright silk dress she wore was the one that the second wife gave to her from among Shen Zhenzhen's unwanted clothes when she went to Beijing to meet the emperor.

And the pastries this morning were clearly the old lady’s offering to the Buddha.

In her previous life, she ate without knowing anything because she was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back. The result was predictable.

Shen Muyin smiled faintly, hiding all his emotions well.

"Sister?" Shen Zhenzhen called again when she saw Shen Muyin didn't say anything.

This kind of vulgar country girl really has no manners at all. It's disgusting to look at her. If it weren't for -

Shen Zhenzhen thought about it and fell silent again.

A pair of big eyes looked at Shen Muyin innocently.

"Yes. Zhenzhen, can you wait for me outside?" Shen Muyin said calmly, "I'll be right there after I pack up."

"Okay." Shen Zhenzhen was extremely well-behaved and obedient.

Then Shen Zhenzhen turned around and walked out of the West Garden.

She didn't like coming to this place either. Shen Zhenzhen felt that she had lost her status.

Shen Muyin stood there, watching Shen Zhenzhen leave, and then she said, "Pack these up and take them with you."

"Miss, don't you want to eat? These look really delicious." Fennel swallowed.

"Xiang, do you want to eat or die?" Shen Muyin looked at Xiu Xiang and pointed at the exquisite snacks in front of him. "These are the tributes to the old lady."

Fennel's expression changed instantly, and the snack in front of her became a hot potato.

"Then...what should we do?" Fennel's voice was stammering.

"Send it back the same way it came." Shen Muyin said directly.

Fennel didn't understand what was going on, but looking at Shen Muyin's determined eyes, she knew that it was absolutely right to trust the young lady in front of her.

Soon, Fennel wrapped it up intact and followed Shen Muyin out of the West Garden.

Shen Zhenzhen was still waiting there. When she saw Shen Muyin coming, she immediately put on a bright smile.

"Sister, let's go." Shen Zhenzhen took Shen Muyin's hand familiarly.

Shen Muyin nodded and said nothing.

"Sister, this is the back garden of the Shen Mansion, this is the study, Daddy is here, and over there is--" Shen Zhenzhen introduced along the way.

How could Shen Muyin not be familiar with these roads? She has been walking here for several years.

Even when she finally left the capital, she was dragged out, and her blood soaked every blade of grass and tree here.

As Shen Changsheng liked martial arts, he set up secret passages in the back garden.

It is extremely difficult for unfamiliar people to get out once they are trapped here.

The first time she met the old lady, it was Shen Zhenzhen who led her along the way, trapping her in this garden. By the time she walked out, it was already too late.

"Sister, sister, where are you?" Shen Zhenzhen exclaimed.

Shen Muyin was led into the mechanism by Shen Zhenzhen, and it was the one in the East Palace who told him about this trick.

It was as if the madman in the East Palace was the one who saw through everything.

Even if Shen Muyin was reborn, there could be a hundred ways to twist things, but as long as there was a twist, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Therefore, taking advantage of the opponent's tactics is indeed the best approach.

Once you are trapped in this mechanism, you can hear the sounds outside but cannot call for help.

Because people outside can't hear me, and even if they can, they probably won't pay any attention to me.

Fennel had tried to go out, but kept running into walls everywhere, and her face turned pale.

"Miss, isn't this a ghost wall?" Fennel looked at Shen Muyin nervously.

Shen Muyin remained calm and told Hui Xiang: "Follow me, don't get lost. If anything confuses you, hold my hand and don't let go. Got it?"

"I...I understand." Fennel nodded.

Shen Muyin handed his hand to Huixiang, and Huixiang held Shen Muyin's hand tightly. The master and servant passed through the secret passage without distraction.

By the time she reached the exit of the garden, Fennel's forehead was covered with beads of sweat and she was very scared.

"Miss, we are trapped inside. It will be too late to pay our respects to the old lady." Fennel patted her chest.

Shen Muyin smiled, said nothing, and walked precisely in the direction of the ancestral hall.

Fennel was even more stunned. Didn’t this young lady just come back? How come she was so familiar with the roads in the mansion?

She scratched her head, didn't ask any more questions, and followed obediently the whole time.

Soon, Shen Muyin arrived at the ancestral hall.

This shortcut is a path that only servants would take. It is for the convenience of servants to go to the ancestral hall to serve the old lady.

A princess like Shen Zhenzhen would naturally not leave.

So it is reasonable that I arrive later than her now.

Shen Muyin suppressed his emotions and stood quietly outside the ancestral hall: "Muyin is here to pay respects to grandma."

As soon as he finished speaking, a nanny walked out of the ancestral hall. Shen Muyin recognized her. This was Li Rong, the old lady's confidante.
