Spring in the East Palace

She repeated what she had said yesterday about Chunxiang's death. When she mentioned the pair of socks again, Shen Muyin lowered her head, seeming a little more shy.

"Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw how disheveled I was, so he changed me into a palace maid's outfit for fear that I would scare people. As for shoes and socks, the palace maids at Xiangshan Temple didn't have any extra socks, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince graciously gave me a pair of his new socks." Shen Muyin said, her ears red.

The girl's shyness complements the current spring scene.

Every word she said was telling the person in front of her that she had a close relationship with the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.

"You said, this is from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Shen Rushuang was shocked.

"Yes." Shen Muyin nodded.

This is the truth, there is no need to lie.

What's more, there is a nine-clawed golden dragon on the sock, which is a mark that only the Eastern Palace can use.

Besides, the people of the prefecture in the capital did not have the courage to ask the one in the Eastern Palace about such trivial matters. It was not as if they were tired of living.

But Shen Muyin knew very well that this would completely involve the Eastern Palace with himself.

Tell the people in the Shen Mansion openly that the Eastern Palace is his backer.

Because only a high-ranking official like the East Palace can buy time in the Shen Mansion.

And she was involved in the murder only half a year after she returned home.

During the next six months, she has to prepare everything for herself so that she can fight back.

And Concubine Liu just looked at Shen Muyin's shy appearance, thinking of her appearance when she came back yesterday and Chunxiang's death.

This is really bad news.

You have to know that the one in the East Palace is a very unsympathetic person and never touches women.

Therefore, the position of the Crown Princess in the Eastern Palace has remained vacant. People in the court said that the Eastern Palace was unpredictable and that all the candidates for the Crown Princess that were sent were thrown to the wolves by the Eastern Palace.

After a long time, naturally no one dared to covet the position of Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace.

And now, Donggong actually gave all his socks to Shen Muyin.

They really don't believe that there is no ambiguity here.

And if Donggong takes a fancy to her, then she really won't be able to touch Shen Muyin unless she wants to confront Donggong head-on.

This matter is a bit tricky.

"I know about this." Shen Rushuang nodded.

She immediately looked at the servant and said, "Go get Butler Wang."

The servant turned around and left in a hurry, while Shen Muyin stood there without changing his expression.

The word "Donggong" is indeed useful.

Being scared by that madman Qin Chuyan for two days was considered a reward, at least it wasn't in vain.

Butler Wang appeared in the ancestral hall after a while. Looking at this scene, he was silent for a moment, without saying a word.

"Madam, do you have any instructions for me?" Butler Wang asked respectfully.

"Clean up the Wenxiang Pavilion and let the eldest lady move in. This was originally where her mother lived. Buy everything that needs to be added. Do you hear me?" Shen Rushuang explained carefully.

"Yes, I obey your command." Butler Wang nodded in agreement.

He glanced at Shen Muyin from the corner of his eye. Shen Muyin was still standing there calmly.

But Butler Wang knew that the appearance of Shen Muyin would probably change the current situation of the Shen family.

A 16-year-old girl can remain calm in the face of countless corpses.

Facing the Eastern Palace's ban, he was still able to appear in front of everyone intact.

He is definitely not an ordinary person and should not be provoked.

Butler Wang knew that it was right for him to surrender.

Soon, Butler Wang took the order and left, and Shen Muyin's things in the West Garden were delivered to the Wenxiang Pavilion as soon as possible.

After all, she didn't have anything.

Although Liu Jieyu and Shen Zhenzhen were dissatisfied, they did not dare to act rashly under the circumstances.

Firstly, it is the relationship with Shen Rushuang, and secondly, it is difficult to figure out the relationship between Donggong and Shen Muyin.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and soon calmed down.

"You should go back and rest early. I'm afraid you won't sleep well in Xiyuan." Shen Rushuang waved her hand, signaling Shen Muyin to leave.

Shen Muyin bowed: "Muyin thanks grandma for your concern."

She didn't stay for long because the second wife's mother and daughter were there, and she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and take action.

Soon, Shen Muyin took Fennel and left calmly.

Liu Jieyushi and Shen Zhenzhen did not stay for long. After kneeling in greeting, they left.

The mother and daughter returned to the East Garden, sent the servants away, and just looked at each other in the house.

"When you went to see him yesterday, he told you that Shen Muyin was not the biological daughter of the Shen family?" Concubine Liu calmed herself down before looking at Shen Zhenzhen.

Shen Zhenzhen hummed: "He really said that, saying that Shen Muyin is a big chess piece and cannot be touched."

"Do you know that if she stays in the mansion and your grandmother treats her differently, who knows what trouble might arise!" Concubine Liu frowned, looking worried.

"He said that this matter concerns the survival of the Shen family. As long as Dad knows about it, grandma is too old to take care of too much." Shen Zhenzhen said in a low voice.

Then Shen Zhenzhen whispered a few words into Concubine Liu's ear.

Concubine Liu's expression changed again and again, but she soon calmed down.

"Is his plan safe?" Concubine Liu was nervous.

"Mom, you have to trust him, it's absolutely safe." Shen Zhenzhen said it with certainty, even admiration.

Concubine Liu nodded. At this point, this was really the only way.

"Call your father and your elder brother back. Nothing can go wrong." Concubine Liu instructed carefully.

"I have asked someone to notify father and elder brother." Shen Zhenzhen arranged everything in detail.

Concubine Liu sat down and drank some water. She was still a little scared. Shen Zhenzhen accompanied her.

It was not until Shen Changsheng and Shen Yan came back and heard the news that they were shocked.

"Where did the eldest daughter of the Shen family go?" Shen Changsheng's hands trembled slightly.

Shen Zhenzhen looked calm, "He said that he was dead from the first day. They substituted a cat for the prince, and the one kept in the Xu family is the princess that was lost in the Pingxi Palace. Whether the Shen family can rise to prominence depends on whether this matter succeeds."

Shen Zhenzhen said this without changing his expression.

"If this fails, the Shen family will all prosper or suffer together." She finished her words.

Simply put, we die together.

After all, the status and position of the King of Pingxi are there. If there is any mistake, all nine generations of his clan will be executed.

"I understand." Shen Changsheng responded, and made up his mind, "Let's listen to him on this matter."

"Okay, I'll send him a pigeon message later." Shen Zhenzhen responded.

Suddenly, Shen Yan, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "If she is really the one that the Eastern Palace likes, then what does this matter? If the Eastern Palace goes crazy, even the Emperor can't stop it."

"Then let's plan ahead. The Eastern Palace won't make a big fuss for a woman. After all, the Eastern Palace is already in a lot of troubles now." Shen Zhenzhen said calmly.

"That's true." Shen Yan nodded, "I'll go back and check it out to see what Donggong thinks.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, brother." Shen Zhenzhen responded indifferently.

Shen Yan quickly turned around and left. Shen Zhenzhen bowed but did not stay for long.

At the moment of leaving East Garden, the girl lowered her brows and looked still bright and beautiful, but the light in her eyes seemed extremely sinister.

In this matter, we must succeed and not fail.

Because she has no way out.

After a long time, Shen Zhenzhen stood up and left calmly.

The moment she left Dongyuan, Shen Zhenzhen's face turned into a bright smile again, innocent and naive, as if nothing had happened.
