Spring in the East Palace

"Shut up!" Shen Changsheng lowered his voice and scolded Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was scolded by Shen Changsheng, but he was a little uncertain: "Dad, do you still want to please her? You know very well what kind of person she is. If she gets any evidence against us, we will be the ones who will be in trouble in the end!"

Shen Yan spoke angrily and anxiously, fearing that Shen Changsheng would be confused.

Shen Changsheng naturally knew what Shen Yan meant, but in this situation, Shen Changsheng seemed exceptionally calm.

"That man is cruel and ruthless by nature. Over the years, we have seen so many people disappear silently." Shen Changsheng looked at Shen Yan steadily.

After hearing what Shen Changsheng said, Shen Yan had a hint of fear in his eyes.

But on the surface, Shen Yan remained calm and composed: "Dad, I think you think too much. After all, that person and we are still restrained by each other. What he wants is still in our hands. She can't do anything to us."

Shen Yan said with certainty: "If he really believed that the jade pendant was taken away before, then something bad would happen sooner or later. And only he would know this matter so clearly, otherwise who would know that the jade pendant was in the Shen family."

As he said that, Shen Yan sneered: "It can't be Shen Muyin, we have suspected it, but if it is really Shen Muyin, why didn't she go to the Pingxi Palace? Why has she been so silent? If I were her, I would definitely go and recognize her as soon as possible."

Shen Changsheng frowned slightly as he listened.

But I couldn't find any refutation of Shen Yan's words.

After a pause, Shen Changsheng spoke: "What do you say about the Princess of Pingxi coming this time?"

Shen Yan remained calm: "Princess Pingxi has had a good impression of Shen Muyin since the hunting grounds. With the relationship with the Eastern Palace, it is not strange for Princess Pingxi to appear here. I think the Eastern Palace must have given instructions long ago, and there is no other reason."

This statement was too certain, but it was also basically a correct guess, so Shen Changsheng nodded and did not deny it.

But Shen Changsheng also has his own ideas.

"This time, the Shen family was dragged into trouble by Shen Muyin, and that person did not show up. Zhenzhen also said that she went to find this person, but this person refused to see her." Shen Changsheng said gloomily.

The light in his eyes became sharper.

"This means that this person may also give up on us, so we must find a way to find him." Shen Changsheng is still very shrewd.

"Is Shen Muyin the fallback for Dad?" Shen Yan asked bluntly.

Shen Changsheng neither denied nor admitted it. Up to now, Shen Changsheng has not yet decided how to deal with this matter.

After all, the situation is unclear now, and he can't put himself in an awkward situation.

So Shen Changsheng didn't do anything, but when he saw Shen Muyin, he seemed much more polite, which was in sharp contrast to his initial attitude.

Seeing that Shen Changsheng didn't say anything, Shen Yan sneered.

"Is it because Shen Muyin's current backer is the Eastern Palace that Dad has this idea?" Shen Yan suddenly understood.

The Shen family struggled for a long time between Donggong and that person, but finally chose that person.

That man's shrewdness and planning made the Shen family firmly believe that the Eastern Palace could not last long.

The reason why Donggong is able to win now is only because of its identity. If it loses this identity, Donggong will be nothing.

In addition, almost all the important officials in the court stood beside that person.

The State of Yan was about to be hollowed out, with only a handful of officials left, plus the Palace of Prince Pingxi and the Palace of Prince Xuan, but this was only a matter of time.

The Shen family stood on that person's side without any hesitation.

"Dad, but I have to tell you that we have no way out. Do you really think that if you surrender to Shen Muyin now, Shen Muyin will help us?" Shen Yan asked Shen Changsheng gloomily.

Shen Changsheng was naturally uncertain.

"Don't be so delusional. It's impossible. Look at Wang Yong, he is the best evidence. Wang Yong helped Shen Muyin a lot in the Shen Mansion, but what happened in the end? His tendons in his feet and hands were cut, and he was completely poisoned and mute. He can't say a word anymore."

Shen Yan told Shen Changsheng about Butler Wang's situation.

Shen Changsheng's expression changed. They dragged Wang Guanjia down as a scapegoat, so they could see that Wang Guanjia had ulterior motives.

They thought Shen Muyin would take action, so they could turn the tables. However, they didn't expect that Shen Muyin's methods were much more cruel than they imagined, and they completely cut off their last way out.

There was not even a chance for Butler Wang to accuse Shen Muyin, so he could only be a scapegoat.

Shen Changsheng felt horrified when he thought of that scene.

Shen Muyin is probably the only woman who can be so cruel and perverted.

"And, Dad, do you really think Shen Muyin doesn't know what happened to the Xu family's extermination? Won't she hold us responsible for this?" Shen Yan continued to ask.

"Shen Muyin knew everything clearly, including everything that was arranged by the Shen Mansion. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to fight so hard to climb up the high branch of the Eastern Palace. But she was lucky. She actually managed to climb up to someone with such a weird temper in the Eastern Palace."

Shen Yan also found it unbelievable, but that's what happened.

"So in this situation, do you really think that if we make peace with Shen Muyin, she will help us? No, she will only use us to catch that person, and then we will be killed as well." Shen Yan saw it clearly.

Having fought with Shen Muyin, Shen Yan knew Shen Muyin's temper and personality very well.

He would never be merciful and would never think that the enemy would become his friend. This was a huge joke to Shen Muyin.

This woman has no heart. Her only heart is ambition.

As Shen Changsheng listened to Shen Yan's words, the solemnity in his eyes became more and more obvious.

And the originally wavering thoughts gradually calmed down.

The Shen family really has no way out. Now they have no choice but to stick together with that man until the end, or else they will perish together.

"So, Dad still has this idea?" Shen Yan asked Shen Changsheng word by word.

Shen Chang shook his head and became more direct: "Let's go find Zhenzhen first. Zhenzhen has failed time and time again, and I'm afraid something will happen. This time, we have to deal with it well."

"Zhenzhen is a smart person, how could she fail again and again? There must be a reason." Shen Yan sneered, seeing clearly, "It was all Shen Muyin's doing. I even suspect that Shen Muyin knows something, so he has been alienating the relationship between us."

This one sentence made Shen Changsheng suddenly enlightened.

Shen Changsheng nodded slightly, and then took Shen Yan to find Shen Zhenzhen.
