Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 324: The Grass Falls

Dong Jin nodded: "But since this man has helped the young lady many times, it is normal for the Shen family not to let him go. The Shen family probably wants to leave you no room for maneuver."

"Wait until the verdict comes out and find an excuse to go and see it." Shen Muyin finished his words.

Dong Jin nodded in response.

Soon, Dong Jin retreated, and Shen Muyin was the only one left in the room.

Less than two days after Butler Wang was taken to the Ministry of Justice, Shen Yan and Shen Changsheng were acquitted.

Butler Wang was sentenced to death and was executed immediately.

Before Butler Wang carried out the execution, Shen Muyin went to the dungeon. Because Butler Wang was just a commoner, after being sentenced, he was sent back to the dungeon of the yamen, waiting to be executed three days later.

Shen Muyin appeared in the dungeon, still looking extremely gloomy.

But Shen Muyin now found herself numb to such an environment, and she walked quietly towards the cell where Butler Wang was imprisoned.

"Miss Shen." The guard seemed particularly respectful when he saw Butler Wang.

Shen Muyin nodded and stood calmly in front of Butler Wang. Butler Wang naturally saw Shen Muyin.

Inside the Ministry of Justice, he had obviously been tortured beyond recognition, so in this situation, she was stunned for a long time.

Then, Butler Wang came to his senses and begged Shen Muyin frantically: "Miss, for the sake of my loyalty, please save me. I will work like a cow or a horse to repay you."

As Butler Wang spoke, he kowtowed. Such sadness could be heard clearly throughout the cell.

In this situation, Shen Muyin remained calm and just looked at Butler Wang the whole time.

She sighed: "I didn't expect you to do such a thing..."

It was a kind of regret that one asked despite knowing the answer, as if he was powerless to do anything, but Shen Muyin knew the ins and outs of this better than anyone else.

"Miss, I am innocent..." Butler Wang burst into tears, "I have worked like a slave for the Shen family, but I never thought that Shen Changsheng would treat me like this one day!"

Butler Wang was complaining to Shen Muyin about this absurd and bizarre thing that happened to him.

Shen Muyin just listened until Butler Wang finished speaking. She said calmly: "Butler Wang, this matter was decided by the Ministry of Justice. I can only do my best."

"Thank you very much, Miss." Butler Wang was grateful.

Shen Muyin continued quietly: "If I can't do anything, then I will try my best to leave your body intact and without any torture."

This was said very calmly.

Who is Butler Wang? How could he not understand the meaning of Shen Muyin's words?

He knew that he had no room for maneuver in this matter. And the lives of slaves like them were cheap. If the master wanted you to die at three o'clock in the morning, you would not live to see four o'clock.

So there was a hint of sadness in Butler Wang's eyes.

"Miss, you have always been protective of your shortcomings. Why can't you do that with me?" Butler Wang was also questioning Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin was not impatient and asked Butler Wang: "Okay. Then let me ask you, if I didn't convince you at the beginning, would you stand on Shen Changsheng's side or on my side?"

Butler Wang was stunned and suddenly unable to answer Shen Muyin's question.

"That's because you see that you are in danger and you know that if you continue to fight with me, you will eventually die silently like that guard. So you stand on my side, don't you?" Shen Muyin said directly.

Butler Wang's expression changed.

"Although you have been helping me since I returned to the Shen Mansion, are you really on my side? Won't you tell Shen Changsheng about my every move?" Shen Muyin asked calmly.

This time, Butler Wang looked at Shen Muyin in disbelief.

It was as if everything he did, even those he thought were extremely covert, were clearly exposed in Shen Muyin's eyes.

For a moment, Butler Wang seemed at a loss and could not answer for a long time.

"So, running between two places will ultimately result in you becoming a scapegoat. Shen Changsheng doesn't want such a person, and the same goes for me." Shen Muyin explained it clearly.

This time, Butler Wang was completely disheartened, knowing that there was no way he could leave alive.

Perhaps knowing this fate, Butler Wang calmed himself down and looked at Shen Muyin.

"Miss, aren't you afraid that I will tell everyone about you? If I am not mistaken, you are also very concerned about the Third Madam. If people knew that the Third Madam was not like this, I am afraid your life would not be very easy."

Butler Wang calmed down and threatened Shen Muyin.

"I feel that the eldest lady and I are in the same boat." Butler Wang made every word clear, looking at Shen Muyin without blinking.

"So what do you want to tell me?" Shen Muyin was not at all panicked.

"If you save me, I will swear to be loyal to you until death and will never have any second thoughts." Butler Wang still had his last hope.

This time, Shen Muyin laughed softly: "Do you know why I came to see you?"

Butler Wang really didn't know, so he looked at Shen Muyin passively. But when he looked at Shen Muyin, there was a chill in Butler Wang's eyes.

Because Shen Muyin's eyes were so creepy that they made him feel terrified.

"I came to see you so that you can see what your final choice will be. If you are smart, I can still take care of your family members outside as a reward for your time. But you threaten me?"

Shen Muyin said, laughing softly: "You know what? What I hate most is being threatened."

She paused, her expression suddenly becoming stern: "No one who threatens me has ever been allowed to survive. In this case, I cannot let you stay."

Her voice was extremely calm, but the fear in Butler Wang's eyes was becoming more and more obvious.

Because he didn't know what Shen Muyin would do, and Shen Muyin just took a step back in front of Butler Wang.

In this situation, a guard suddenly came out from the dark, and Butler Wang had no time to react.

He just stared with wide eyes, watching the guard feed him medicine.

The burning feeling in the throat made Butler Wang immediately know what it was.

That was a poison that made people dumb. Butler Wang couldn't believe it, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't make any sound at all and could only swallow any pain himself.

"Miss, she is mute." The guard gave the answer.

Shen Muyin nodded slightly, and the fear in Butler Wang's eyes became more and more intense.

But the guard did not let it go and walked forward again. Housekeeper Wang could not even make a sound because her tendons in her hands and feet had been cut.

This time, Butler Wang completely fainted.

At least in all the years that Shen's father has been here, he has never suffered such hardship.

Shen Muyin watched calmly and expressionlessly until the guard came back and reported: "His tendons in his hands and feet are broken, and it is impossible for him to write anything."
