Spring in the East Palace

Butler Wang turned around impatiently and said, "Miss, don't waste time. The old lady is still waiting for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Butler Wang's pupils dilated, because there was suddenly a blade as thin as a cicada's wing on his neck, which just scratched it lightly, causing blood to flow out slightly. Then the blade fell to the ground without any sound.

Butler Wang stood there in a trance, he couldn't even see who had made the move.

Shen Muyin looked at Butler Wang with cold eyes: "The Xu family has been very kind to me. Now that the Xu family has been wiped out, I can't avenge them. Am I going to watch them have no place to live in peace?"

Shen Muyin asked Butler Wang this.

Then she walked step by step towards Butler Wang, who stepped back subconsciously in fear.

"Miss..." Butler Wang called Shen Muyin passively.

Shen Muyin is so creepy. Butler Wang knows clearly that Shen Muyin is not as simple as she seems.

"If my adoptive parents can't live in peace, how can I have the face to return to the Shen Mansion to enjoy wealth and glory?" Shen Muyin's every word was sharp.

There was a blade on the slender finger without knowing when.

Butler Wang's face changed, as if the blade would hit his throat in the next second. He pretended to be calm and looked at Shen Muyin, but he knew what was going on.

This young lady is definitely not as simple as the Shen family thinks. I'm afraid things are going to change.

Shen Muyin's voice still came indifferently, without any emotion, but it made people tremble with fear.

"Then there is no point in me living, right?" Shen Muyin asked Butler Wang, "Butler Wang, if I die, I wonder how you will explain to my father when you go back?"

Butler Wang's face changed, as if Shen Muyin had pinched him hard on the vital point, making him completely unable to move.

Shen Muyin's expression was cold as he pushed the blade into his neck little by little, without any intention of joking.

"Miss..." Butler Wang came back to his senses, "Please calm down first. I will escort you to the sedan chair, and then I will handle this matter."

Butler Wang wanted to buy time.

But Shen Muyin didn't take it to heart: "Now, I'll watch you deal with it."

Under Shen Muyin's eyes, Butler Wang felt extremely oppressed, and his feet felt weak.

"Yes..." Butler Wang did not dare to hesitate.

Shen Muyin just stood there and watched as Butler Wang and the guards of the Shen Mansion buried all forty members of the Xu family one by one.

Her eyes and brows were still calm, and she did not raise her eyelids until Butler Wang looked at Shen Muyin with sweat on his face.

"Miss, everything has been handled according to your instructions." Butler Wang's voice became more respectful.

Shen Muyin stood up and walked out of Xu's house.

Butler Wang did not dare to hesitate and followed.

When they were almost at the door, suddenly, a guard fell down, his eyes wide open as if he couldn't believe what was happening to him.

His eyes turned to Shen Muyin.

It was clearly Shen Muyin who took action just now, but now Shen Muyin's face looks so calm.

Shen Muyin recognized the other person as someone who worked for Shen Yan. She had a narrow escape, but on the way back to the Shen residence, this guard had caused her a lot of trouble, and eventually she ended up in the Shen residence in a state of embarrassment, leaving a very bad impression on Shen Rushuang.

Naturally, there is no need to keep such people.

By doing this, Shen Muyin is killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. If someone betrays, then this person's fate will serve as a lesson for them.

After this trip, at least the way back won’t be so restless.

Shen Muyin knew better that he had to conserve his energy. After all, every next step would be extremely dangerous.

When Shen Muyin walked outside to the carriage, she was silent for a moment.

The carriage in front of him looked much more shabby. Not to mention the carriage of a prefect of Beijing, even the carriage of a county magistrate would probably be more comfortable than this one.

It goes without saying who arranged this.

"Miss... I'm sorry to have troubled you on the way." Butler Wang said awkwardly.

Shen Muyin's previous example of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys made Butler Wang dare not act rashly, so he took the initiative to say this in advance.

Shen Muyin would still need Butler Wang later. It would be more useful to subdue Butler Wang than to go against him. She was calm: "It's okay."

"Chunxiang, why don't you support the young lady?" Butler Wang scolded in a low voice.

A maid in a plain silk dress got off the carriage, reluctantly, even with a hint of impatience: "Miss, please get on the carriage, don't waste time."

Shen Muyin looked at Chunxiang, and his eyes gradually became gloomy.

She clenched her fists. Although she had been reborn, she still hated Chunxiang to the core when she saw her.

Chunxiang had been by his side for ten years, and Shen Muyin was open and sincere to Chunxiang, but in the end, Chunxiang personally sent Shen Muyin to the guillotine, tortured him alive in the Tianlao, and finally executed him by slow slicing.

Chunxiang was the Second Lady's person from beginning to end, she was just an insider planted by the Second Lady by her side.

In her previous life, Shen Muyin had no one around her whom she could trust, but she treated these people as people who treated her sincerely.

She murdered the princess, and Chunxiang was guiding her every step.

Even the evidence of guilt obtained by the Prince Qin's Mansion was delivered by Chunxiang herself, a love letter she wrote to her prince consort.

Chunxiang was also a witness, proving that there were only herself and the princess at that time. Obviously, she knew nothing, and the princess was already dead when she entered the room.

So how could Shen Muyin not hate him?

But Shen Muyin cannot alert the enemy now. She has to find a way to escape from the princess's death, but the most important thing is that she wants the true colors of these people to be exposed.

So, Shen Muyin suppressed his anger and looked at Chunxiang quietly.

Chunxiang impatiently helped Shen Muyin get on the carriage, not caring at all, but on the surface she was extremely hypocritical: "Miss, the carriages in the mansion are all out, so I can only ask you to make do with it. It's only a three-day journey back to Beijing."

Shen Muyin closed his eyes and said nothing. Chunxiang didn't try to embarrass herself and simply thought that Shen Muyin was just frightened.

Butler Wang saw Shen Muyin get into the car before he drove away.

It was not until the evening that the car arrived at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain. We had to walk across Xiangshan Mountain to return to the Shen Mansion.

Xiangshan is an important Buddhist site, so there are naturally no luxurious inns around it. We can only stay in the side rooms of a Buddhist temple for one night.

When the carriage stopped, Chunxiang got out and reluctantly supported Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin ignored Chunxiang and quietly followed the host towards the private room.

After Butler Wang arranged everything, he quietly retreated.

Chunxiang was not in the side room, but was guarding in the outer room.

Shen Muyin was relaxed, she needed to conserve her energy. When Butler Wang received her, he had already sent a pigeon to tell Shen Changsheng about this matter, so Shen Yan couldn't come back with a surprise move.

Shen Muyin closed her eyes and rested for a long time. She slowly fell asleep. At three o'clock in the morning, Shen Muyin suddenly smelled a scent of sandalwood.
