Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 34: Employing people without suspicion

The stupidity in Shen Huai's eyes disappeared, and he instantly became normal and looked at Shen Muyin.

"Sister, this bath water cannot be used." Shen Huai said directly.

Before Shen Muyin could speak, Shen Huai told him the whole story.

"I accidentally saw the boy boiling water in the wood room pouring medicine powder into the water. I guess it's not a good thing." Shen Huai frowned.

"I know about this." Shen Muyin was very calm.

She looked outside through the window frame and saw two maids still standing outside, determined not to let Shen Muyin make any moves. The bath water might not be poured out.

"They are guarding." Shen Muyin said in a low voice.

Fennel listened and her expression changed: "Miss, what should we do?"

Shen Muyin didn't say anything, but quickly stood up, found the bag he brought from the Xu family in the closet, opened it quickly, and took out one of the medicine bottles.

She walked back to the bathtub and poured the powder from the bottle into the tub.

Puffs of black smoke suddenly rose from the bath tub. Fennel and Shen Huai looked at each other, and it was Shen Huai who spoke first.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Shen Huai was a little surprised.

"Detoxification." Shen Muyin said calmly, "The second room has someone guarding the door. I can't pour out the water, so I can only play along and make her think that I'm suffering."

As he said this, Shen Muyin sneered: "But in this matter, I will naturally make the second house suffer."

"Sister, what are you going to do?" Shen Huai looked at Shen Muyin.

He suddenly realized that this sister might not be what he understood her to be, and was much more powerful than he thought.

He should have believed what Shen Muyin said about being able to take his mother away from the Shen Mansion.

"Ahuai, can you do me a favor?" Shen Muyin looked at Shen Huai.

Shen Huai nodded: "If you have anything to say, please tell me directly, sister."

Shen Muyin lowered his head, quickly wrote the prescription on a piece of paper, and then handed it to Shen Huai.

"Go out and find a doctor to prescribe the medicine I told you to do, and have him grind it into powder. But do it cleanly and neatly so no one finds out." Shen Muyin gave detailed instructions.

Shen Huai looked at the prescription in his hand, which contained some common medicines.

Because Liu Rushi has been bedridden for many years, Shen Huai has some knowledge about these medicines.

Shen Huai is indeed the person who is most likely to leave the Shen Mansion without being suspected, because he is a fool and the people in the Shen Mansion will not care about Shen Huai's life or death.

Perhaps it is best for them that Shen Huai dies.

"Okay, I understand." Shen Huai nodded.

"Beiyuan is close to the woodshed. Shen Zhenzhen takes a bath every two days. You can just pour this powder into her bath water." Shen Muyin finished speaking.

Shen Muyin spoke every word extremely calmly, and there was no trace of joking in the look he gave Shen Huai.

"Okay." Shen Huai nodded in agreement without even asking any more questions.

Shen Muyin nodded: "Also, if you go out, please help me look for a few more shops. I want the best shop in Kyoto. If you find a suitable one, just let me know."

This time, Shen Huai was slightly stunned: "Sister, what do you want to ask about the shop?"

"You'll know later." Shen Muyin didn't explain much.

"I understand." Shen Huai didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, Shen Huai stood up, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it to his mouth, just holding it there to avoid arousing suspicion from the gatekeeper outside.

"Sister, if everything is okay, I will go back first. I will finish the things you asked me to do tomorrow." Shen Huai gave time.

"Okay." Shen Muyin nodded.

Shen Huai looked at Shen Muyin steadily, calm yet puzzled.

He and Shen Muyin were not very familiar with each other, but Shen Muyin trusted him very much.

You know, if he says one more word, Shen Muyin's life will never be better.

Because Shen Huai knew very well that Shen Changsheng and Liu Jieyu were both extremely suspicious people, which could be seen from the fact that Liu Jieyu did not want to keep Shen Muyin.

After a moment of silence, Shen Huai suddenly said, "Sister, aren't you afraid that I will go out and talk nonsense?"

"Ahuai won't." Shen Muyin was sure, "Besides, if you employ someone, trust him. If you don't trust him, don't employ him, right?"

This means that Shen Muyin has given all his trust to Shen Huai.

In the Shen Mansion, the only people Shen Muyin can trust are Shen Huai and Hui Xiang.

These words made Shen Huai suddenly laugh softly: "Sister, you are the first person to say such words to me."

Shen Muyin also smiled. This smile had a firm power and was extremely soothing.

Shen Huai nodded and turned to leave. Shen Muyin suddenly said, "By the way, Ah Huai."

"Sister, please speak." Shen Huai responded.

Shen Muyin stepped forward and gave a silver ingot to Shen Huai. Shen Huai was stunned: "Sister, what are you doing——"

"I'm afraid that Sanniang's money was withheld by the second house. Although this money is not much, you can take it first." Shen Muyin said directly.

"Then sister, you..." Shen Huai knew that Shen Muyin was also poor.

"Don't worry, you won't be short of money soon." Shen Muyin said with certainty.

Although Shen Huai couldn't guess what Shen Muyin was going to do, under such circumstances, Shen Huai unconditionally believed in Shen Muyin.

"Okay." Shen Huai nodded and took the silver.

Soon, Shen Huai turned around and left, and Hui Xiang followed him. Shen Huai became stupid again.

"Second Young Master, please slow down." Fennel sighed helplessly.

Shen Huai pushed Fennel away stupidly and madly: "I...I want to...go...back. No...it's not tasty..."

"Okay, I'll take you back." Fennel supported him.

Shen Huai was resisting, and Hui Xiang grabbed him, and the two of them pushed each other out.

Shen Muyin looked at him and said nothing. He took off his clothes and soaked himself in the wooden tub.

The water in the wooden barrel had already gone cold, and Shen Muyin was resting with his eyes closed.

She took every step after her rebirth with extreme caution.

Because she knew that if she made the slightest mistake, there would be no turning back.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and there was a creaking sound from the wooden door. The servant outside responded, "Miss, I will change your clothes for you."

"Come in." Shen Muyin said lightly.

Two maids came in one after another, picked up clean clothes for Shen Muyin to change into.

Shen Muyin allowed himself to be served and did not resist.

It was not until she put on her clothes and returned to the bed that the servant outside came in and carried the wooden barrel out.

Shen Muyin watched quietly. She knew that he was probably going back to report.

Why are you in such a hurry? The fun is just about to begin.

Hui Xiang came back from Beiyuan soon. She pushed the door open and whispered, "I sent the Second Young Master back."

Shen Muyin hummed: "I'll give you a piece of osmanthus cake as a reward."

Fennel took a bite with a smile, and then chatted with Shen Muyin.

"Miss, you don't know that after you were taken away by the people from the East Palace, the old lady asked someone to find the Second Madam's East Garden. Guess what happened?" Fennel's eyes narrowed into slits with pride.

"What's wrong?" Shen Muyin asked lazily, but quite supportive.

"The Second Madam's pearls were found in her jewelry box. The Old Madam was so angry that she scolded the Second Madam on the spot. The Second Madam didn't even dare to say a word and just stood there with her head down." Fennel described the situation vividly.
