Spring in the East Palace

When Shen Muyin came out of the ancestral hall, Huixiang couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

"Miss, you are amazing." Fennel quietly gave a thumbs up and said in a low voice, "Fortunately you had foresight, otherwise you would be doomed today."

Shen Muyin raised his eyebrows: "The trouble is coming later, it's nothing today."

"Is there any other trouble?" Fennel was stunned.

"Today, Second Mother will send a new person to monitor me. As for you, you must be careful in everything and don't give anyone a handle." Shen Muyin explained carefully.

"Got it." Fennel nodded obediently.

Shen Muyin nodded. The Wenxiang Pavilion was just in front of her, but she turned a corner.

"Miss, we've arrived at the Wenxiang Pavilion. Where are you going?" Huixiang called out to Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin: "Let's go to Beiyuan."

"Ah?" Fennel didn't react at all.

What to do in Beiyuan? Beiyuan is not much better than Xiyuan.

Shen Changsheng’s third wife lived in Beiyuan, but she was always in poor health and no one knew when she passed away.

The third wife had only one son, who was a sickly idiot, so he was not a threat to the second wife at all.

But it was still an eyesore, so it was thrown to Beiyuan.

Except for major festivals like the first month of the lunar year and the Mid-Autumn Festival, they would never leave Beiyuan, as if they did not exist.

Even though Hui Xiang had just arrived at the Shen Mansion, she had heard about these things from the nanny in charge, so she couldn't understand why Shen Muyin still wanted to go to Beiyuan.

"Go to the Wenxiang Pavilion first and pack your things." Shen Muyin instructed, "If anyone asks me, just say you are walking around the mansion to get familiar with the place."

A reasonable reason will not arouse suspicion.

"Oh, okay, I understand." Fennel nodded immediately.

Then Fennel hurried towards the Scented Pavilion.

Shen Muyin didn't stop at all and went straight to Beiyuan.

As soon as he entered Beiyuan, Shen Muyin smelled the scent of Chinese herbal medicine. It was as if only a terminally ill person would live in such a dark place for a long time.

"You are..." Chun Tao, the little servant guarding Beiyuan, was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses, "Your servant Chun Tao, pays respects to the young lady."

"Get up." Shen Shenmu was very polite.

In his previous life, Shen Muyin had no contact with anyone from Beiyuan.

It was not until his death that Shen Muyin realized that Shen Huai, the son of Liu Rushi from the third wife, was not a fool.

In order to avoid the destruction of the second house, he was forced to pretend to be a fool, but in order to plead for her, he eventually died tragically in the lake of the Shen Mansion.

He was tied around the ankles with rocks and drowned.

Liu Rushi couldn't help at all. After Shen Huai died, she also jumped into the lake and died.

They were originally strangers, but now, Shen Muyin owed Shen Huai a life.

If a person can survive in the Shen Mansion by pretending to be crazy and stupid, it proves that this person is definitely not an ordinary person.

So Shen Muyin came to find Shen Huai because he wanted to keep Shen Huai by his side, which would always be useful.

It's better than having no one of our own in this mansion.

If this is the case, even if we advance step by step carefully, I am afraid we will not be able to reach the end.

The Shen family believed that since they had the Eastern Palace as their backer, this was not a long-term solution.

If the man in the East Palace goes crazy, nothing will be left of her body, so how can she really climb up the social ladder?

The meal in the East Palace is not that delicious.

"You...are you here to see Third Aunt?" Chun Tao asked cautiously.

Before Shen Muyin could respond, he saw a handsome young man standing by the lake outside Beiyuan, but he looked crazy and stupid.

That is Shen Huai.

The servants in the Shen residence bullied Shen Huai at will.

Firstly, Liu Rushi was not favored at all, and secondly, Shen Huai was a fool and would not complain.

All the anger they suffered from their master was taken out on Shen Huai.

"You should be drowned, you fool."

"Do you think he will scream if we push him down?"

The servants were laughing and someone threw a stone at Shen Huai.

Shen Huai's head was broken and he stood there stupidly. The servants walked up to him and really wanted to push Shen Huai into the lake.

Suddenly, a stone hit the servant's knee directly. The servant was stunned for a moment and fell directly into the water.

The servants around also cried out in surprise, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

Shen Muyin quickly walked to the lake and pulled Shen Huai behind him.

Shen Huai looked at Shen Muyin foolishly, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was so fast that it could not be seen.

"Ahuai, does it hurt?" Shen Muyin asked softly.

Then she lowered her head and treated the wound on Shen Huai's forehead. Shen Huai did not move throughout the whole process.

But Shen Huai's eyes became a little calmer when he looked at Shen Muyin.

This elder sister whom I had never met called me Ah Huai. Not only that, she also treated my wounds very gently.

Shen Huai was a little confused.

"Did they bully you?" Shen Muyin stood up after treating his wound and asked Shen Huai.

Shen Huai looked at him stupidly without any reaction. Shen Muyin didn't mind and just smiled faintly.

"He deserves a lesson." Shen Muyin's voice suddenly turned colder.

The slave who had fallen into the lake before was still struggling and had crawled to the edge of the lake.

Suddenly a strong wind came, and he fell into the lake again in horror. When he fell into the water, the fear in his eyes was clearly visible.

Shen Muyin recognized him. This was the servant who tied Shen Huai's feet and drowned him in this lake in the previous life.

Dogs rely on human power.

The people around were so frightened that they couldn't say a word. Shen Muyin walked towards them step by step.

"What...what are you going to do?"

"I'm telling you, the Shen Mansion is not a place for you to do whatever you want."

"A person who is not favored should keep to himself!"

A few servants are still trying to give themselves courage.

But just as he finished his words, the dagger in Shen Muyin's hand flashed like a ray of light. The three men widened their eyes, fell to the ground, and were silent.

The sword cut off his throat, without even a trace of blood, and directly severed his carotid artery.

"Sister..." Shen Huai was surprised.

"If you don't kill them, they will attack you sooner or later." Shen Muyin chuckled, "Ah Huai, you won't play dumb with me anymore?"

Shen Huai suddenly felt embarrassed. What he had hidden for many years was actually seen through by Shen Muyin at a glance.

"Do you trust me?" Shen Muyin asked directly.

Shen Huai just looked at her, thinking with his head down, and Shen Muyin did not urge him.

After a long time, Shen Huai calmed down and looked at Shen Muyin: "Believe it."

Now, there is only faith.

"Okay." Shen Muyin responded, "I'll ask Chuntao to call Butler Wang to handle it."

These words made Shen Huai look at Shen Muyin in even greater surprise.

"Don't worry, Steward Wang won't say anything nonsense. If a courtyard loses a few servants, it won't arouse suspicion." Shen Muyin remained calm.

Indeed, it is normal for a few people to be missing in a wealthy mansion.

What's more, these servants are not in front of any master, so no one will even take a second look at them.
