Spring in the East Palace

Shen Muyin's voice became aggrieved: "Second Mother, what did Muyin do wrong?"

"Enough!" Shen Rushuang roared angrily.

She looked at Concubine Liu breathlessly and slapped her with her backhand. Concubine Liu was dazzled by the slap and it was obvious how much strength Shen Rushuang used.

She even staggered a bit, and Li Rong hurriedly held her up.

"Grandma, don't be angry." Shen Muyin quickly walked forward and coaxed her.

"Liu Jieyu, are you going to rebel? Don't forget, I'm not dead yet, and it's not your turn to make the decision in the Shen family." Shen Rushuang roared, "Whatever I tell you to do, you must do it for me."

Li Rong frowned and looked at Concubine Liu with disapproval: "Second Madam, the doctor said that the old lady cannot get angry."

Probably because there was too much noise in the ancestral hall, many servants outside came in to look.

"Mu Yin came to apologize early in the morning for what happened yesterday. She still felt that it was her fault and that she had wronged everyone. But you, on the other hand, wanted to beat her up without any explanation when we met!" Shen Rushuang became angrier and angrier as she spoke.

Her fingertips were trembling, and she looked at Li Rong: "I will punish you according to the family rules today!"

As Shen Rushuang finished her words, Butler Wang hurried in. He took a look at the farce in front of him and finally set his sights on Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin stood there with a normal expression, it was obvious that this incident was caused by her.

But now, Shen Muyin seemed to have cleared himself of all charges and had no intention of offering to help.

"Give me thirty strokes of the cane." Shen Rushuang ordered sternly.

Liu Jieyu's face changed. If she was really beaten with thirty sticks, she would definitely die.

Steward Wang was also stunned, and moved his lips: "Old Madam, please don't get angry first. The Second Madam is weak, and if she continues to fight like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."

While talking, Butler Wang looked at Shen Muyin, as if trying to guess what she was thinking.

But Butler Wang knew clearly in his heart that Shen Muyin was far more powerful than he thought, and it was right for him to surrender. Otherwise, he would be the next one to die.

Thinking of this, Butler Wang shuddered slightly.

Shen Muyin stood there motionless and didn't take the matter too seriously.

It is true that Concubine Liu wants to be taught a lesson, but she will not really lose her life now. After all, that would be too easy for her.

"Grandma, don't be angry. Second Mother is the elder, how can an elder apologize to a younger person?" Shen Muyin seemed to be persuading Shen Rushuang.

But her words were still fanning the flames: "If you really hit me with this stick, I'm afraid I won't have a place to stand in the Shen Mansion anymore."

If Concubine Liu is an elder to Shen Muyin, then isn’t she a junior to Shen Rushuang?

The fire was just right.

What Concubine Liu did in front of Shen Rushuang was just an act of insubordination.

Shen Rushuang sneered: "You don't have to speak for her. We can't just let this matter go. Otherwise, the people in Kyoto will think that I'm dead and the Shen Mansion has changed its owner."

"What are you still doing there? Do you want me to do it myself?" Shen Rushuang looked at the servant beside her.

The servant did not dare to hesitate, and the stick hit Concubine Liu, who let out a terrible scream.

One stick, two sticks, three sticks...

By the tenth blow, Concubine Liu could no longer utter a sound and looked extremely weak.

Shen Muyin lowered his head and glanced at Concubine Liu with arrogance in his eyes.

You have to know that in the previous life, I was the one who was punished by the family rules in the ancestral hall.

Liu Jieyu and Shen Zhenzhen were fanning the flames, and Shen Zhenzhen was trying to coax herself into appearing here when Shen Rushuang was chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha.

His anxious look interrupted Shen Rushuang's worship of Buddha, and he was also unfamiliar with the rules of the Shen residence.

In the end, the stick hit Shen Muyin again and again.

In this life, she just let Concubine Liu taste the suffering she suffered in her previous life.

Besides, this is just the beginning.

While Concubine Liu was being punished here, Shen Yan and Shen Changsheng also received the news and rushed back as soon as possible.

Seeing this scene, the father and son looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

No matter what, Shen Changsheng still respected his mother, so since it was Shen Rushuang who was angry about this matter, Shen Changsheng became reluctant to interfere.

"Mom, what is going on? Why did it cause such a big fuss?" Shen Changsheng asked Shen Rushuang while holding back his temper.

Shen Rushuang sneered and angrily scolded: "You should ask this woman carefully whether she is eager for me to die soon so that she can take the power of the Shen family into her hands."

Shen Changsheng didn't dare to respond after hearing this.

Because Concubine Liu had been whispering in Shen Changsheng's ear, trying to take the power of the Shen family from Shen Rushuang.

Shen Changsheng naturally did not agree. After all, Shen Rushuang was still alive, and Shen Changsheng would not be so unfilial.

But Shen Changsheng couldn't understand why Concubine Liu, who had always been a smart person, would make such a big fuss now.

"Master, listen to me, this matter, this matter is all Shen Muyin's fault..." Concubine Liu looked at Shen Muyin angrily.

Shen Changsheng frowned, and Shen Yan's eyes also became sharp, looking at Shen Muyin gloomily.

Shen Muyin sighed, as if she was extremely aggrieved: "Second Mother, I have always believed that the theft of the pearl yesterday was a misunderstanding. I have already told my grandmother that I will not take it to heart. But you still have to do something to me, and then my grandmother will be angry. Why is this happening to me again now?"

As he spoke, Shen Muyin looked at Shen Rushuang, his eyes red with grievance.

"Hmph, I think you really don't repent." Shen Rushuang's face became even darker.

After Shen Rushuang's yell, the room became quiet again.

"From now on, I think you should take good care of yourself. You don't have to worry about any matters big or small in the Shen family." Shen Rushuang said decisively.

Concubine Liu's expression changed and she looked at Shen Rushuang in disbelief.

Shen Muyin lowered his head, with a smile on his face, but he looked respectful all the time.

Lure someone into a trap is only the first step; her ultimate goal is to take back the power in Concubine Liu's hands.

After all, the initiative of the Shen Mansion is in the hands of Concubine Liu, and it is not convenient for her to go in and out.

Trapped in the small space of the Shen Mansion, there were many things she couldn't do, and she couldn't find the clues she wanted.

There are still many people that Shen Muyin must leave here to see, so that the game can be set up step by step and not repeat the same mistakes.

But Shen Muyin also knew that this matter was not that simple.

"Mother...there must be someone in charge of this mansion. Otherwise, with my son in the court, something is bound to happen in the backyard." Shen Changsheng said with a frown.

Shen Rushuang sneered: "Each room should take care of its own room. If there is any problem, please report it to the ancestral hall and I will handle it as appropriate."

As she spoke, Shen Rushuang looked at Shen Changsheng coldly: "Or do you think that your mother is already terminally ill and is about to die, and is not worthy of being in charge of the Shen family's affairs anymore?"

"My son doesn't dare." Shen Changsheng lowered his head, "Just do as mother says."
