Spring in the East Palace

The old lady has been following him ever since she married the governor of Beijing.

"Hello, Madam Li." Shen Muyin greeted politely.

Fennel also hurriedly greeted.

Li Rong glanced at Shen Muyin in surprise. She knew that the eldest daughter of the Shen family had come back to bring good luck.

She thought she would see a vulgar country girl, but unexpectedly, she was very graceful, except for her clothes, which were a bit unsightly.

"You must be the eldest lady." Nanny Li nodded, "Please follow me. The old lady is waiting for you."

"Thank you, Madam Li." Shen Muyin followed Madam Li inside obediently.

The master and servant went in one after another, and Nanny Li brought Shen Muyin to Old Madam Shen.

"Madam, the eldest lady is here." Madam Li called out.

Shen Rushuang was leaning on the couch, apparently having just gotten up. She didn't pay much attention to anyone and seemed a little cold.

"Grandma, the trees outside are sprouting new buds. This dress will suit you perfectly." Shen Muyin said with a smile on her face.

She took the clothes from Madam Li's hands and said, "Madam, I will serve Grandmother. You take a rest."

Polite and generous, this gave Li Rong a good first impression of Shen Muyin. She nodded at Shen Rushuang and stepped aside.

Shen Muyin had done these things countless times in his previous life, so he was naturally familiar with them. He even knew the patterns and strengths that Shen Rushuang liked.

It was just that in the previous life, Shen Rushuang's preconceived dislike made it so that no matter what Shen Muyin did afterwards, he would not be accepted.

Beating and scolding are commonplace.

"You are quite smart." Shen Rushuang nodded and let Shen Muyin support her.

"This is what I should do." Shen Muyin smiled.

She accompanied Shen Rushuang to the ancestral hall outside, and Shen Rushuang asked casually, "Is Zhenzhen here?"

"Madam, it's not time yet. The second young lady should be on her way." Nanny Li responded.

Shen Rushuang nodded, and when Shen Muyin accompanied Shen Rushuang to the ancestral hall, Shen Zhenzhen slowly came over.

She took small steps, beads of sweat on her forehead, and looked anxious.

"Grandma, I brought my sister to the ancestral hall to see you, but she was having a lot of fun playing in the back garden, and now I can't find her." Shen Zhenzhen's anxious and worried voice came.

Shen Muyin stood aside calmly and didn't say a word the whole time.

It turned out that in the previous life, Shen Zhenzhen slandered herself in front of Shen Rushuang, saying that she was too late because of having fun.

But she never said that she locked herself in the secret passage and that was why she was unable to come and pay her respects to Shen Rushuang.

Such a bright and gentle face, but she does such cruel and vicious things.

Extremely vicious.

Now they are shooting themselves in the foot.

"Is Zhenzhen looking for me?" Shen Muyin looked at Shen Zhenzhen with a smile.

Only then did Shen Zhenzhen notice the person next to Shen Rushuang. His eyes widened and he looked at her in disbelief.

"Sister, why... didn't you tell me you were coming? I was so worried." Shen Zhenzhen's aggrieved voice came.

Shen Muyin smiled faintly, and then began to explain to Shen Rushuang.

"Grandma, Zhenzhen came to see me early in the morning and said she would take me to see you. When we arrived at the back garden, I somehow entered a secret passage and it took me some effort to get out. It was probably at this time that I got lost by Zhenzhen." Shen Muyin did not hide anything and her tone sounded very innocent.

After all, Shen Zhenzhen is not the only one who can pretend to be innocent.

Naturally, everyone in the Shen Mansion knew about the secret passages in the back garden, so it was clear what was right and what was wrong here.

Shen Rushuang's brows were furrowed.

Shen Muyin knew very well that Shen Rushuang did not like open or secret struggles. She believed that a harmonious family would bring prosperity.

But now she was unable to do anything due to her own body.

"No... Grandma, please listen to me." Shen Zhenzhen panicked.

She gritted her teeth in hatred, she never thought that she would be tricked by Shen Muyin.

She never thought that Shen Muyin could actually walk out of the mechanism and arrive at the ancestral hall earlier than her.

"Zhenzhen, you have been in the mansion for many years, so you naturally know something. You wanted to take Mu Yin away from all this, but you ended up losing her?" Shen Rushuang scolded, but didn't take it too seriously.

Shen Zhenzhen suffered a loss, but it was not easy for him to get angry.

She lowered her head and apologized to Shen Muyin: "Sister, I'm sorry. It's Zhenzhen's fault. Don't blame Zhenzhen."

"No, I can't express my gratitude to Zhenzhen enough. After all, without Zhenzhen, I am still confused." Shen Muyin was still smiling, but his words seemed extremely hypocritical.

Shen Zhenzhen smiled on the surface, but she felt so much resentment in her heart.

The two sisters stood together, looking very affectionate and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Before the situation calmed down for a while, a servant from the ancestral hall hurried in with a panicked look on his face.

"What are you doing? Why are you so flustered!" Li Rong scolded.

The servant knelt down and responded, "Madam, the offerings are gone."

"Why is he gone?" Shen Rushuang was surprised.

Shen Muyin smiled faintly where he stood.

In the previous life, Shen Zhenzhen trapped himself in a mechanism and came here first.

The fact that the offerings were missing happened to be something she accidentally let slip, and it turned out that Shen Muyin had never eaten such delicious snacks before, and ate them greedily.

Naturally Shen Rushuang was furious.

But in this life, Shen Zhenzhen failed to stop her, so it was naturally not appropriate for her to complain now.

Otherwise, how can I maintain the image of a good sister in front of her?

But Shen Muyin never wanted to be a good sister.

"Is this an offering?" Shen Muyin lowered his head and looked at it very seriously.

"Yes...it was made by the chef from Jiangnanlou, the most famous restaurant in Kyoto." Although the servant was puzzled by the question, he still explained.

It was quiet all around. Fennel stared at Shen Muyin with wide eyes, not knowing what she was going to do.

But Fennel knew that the offering was still in her hand.

Shen Muyin looked at Fennel and said, "Fennel, take out the snacks you want to bring to grandma."

"Yes... yes..." Fennel stuttered nervously, but still took out the packaged snacks.

The ancestral hall was quiet and everyone's eyes were on Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin slowly opened the handkerchief. This time, the servant was surprised and shouted: "Isn't this an offering?"

"Mu Yin, why do you have offerings?" Shen Rushuang asked sternly.

Shen Muyin spoke calmly, "Early in the morning, Zhenzhen came to see me and brought me some food, asking me to try some snacks from Jiangnan. I have never eaten them, although I really want to try them. But I was thinking about coming to pay my respects to my grandmother, and I thought that my grandmother would like these more, so I didn't want to eat them and brought them to my grandmother."

As he spoke, Shen Muyin sighed: "Fortunately, I am not greedy, otherwise if I ate this offering, it would really be a bad thing."

It was just a simple matter, but Shen Muyin explained it clearly.

This offering was taken by Shen Zhenzhen.
