Spring in the East Palace

Shen Huai still looked silly: "It smells good... I'm hungry... I want... I want to eat..."

It was as if it came here because of the fragrance, and it stayed in Shen Zhenzhen's yard and refused to leave.

Shen Zhenzhen asked Huixiang to bring Shen Huai in, and the servants outside did not stop them. Besides, what could a fool do?

Before Shen Zhenzhen came, Shen Huai would also go to the kitchen to ask for food. After all, everyone in the Shen family knew that the food in Beiyuan was notoriously bad.

But the people in the Shen family never took the third house seriously and anyone could bully them.

Only Shen Muyin remained polite to the people from the third room.

"Hungry...hungry..." Shen Huai staggered towards Shen Muyin.

"Xiang, go prepare bowls and chopsticks for the Second Young Master, and also prepare some peach cakes and osmanthus cakes. You can take them to the Third Madam later." Shen Muyin instructed carefully.

"I understand. I'll prepare it right away." Fennel responded.

Fennel had been with Shen Muyin for a few days, so she naturally knew that the preparation was real.

But the real purpose is to keep an eye on the people outside and prevent the spies from hearing the conversation inside.

After all, this Wenxiang Pavilion is not safe, and the third young master and the eldest young lady have something to talk about.

Soon, Fennel stepped out and closed the door.

Shen Muyin took a look, then looked at Shen Huai seriously: "Ah Huai, eat something first, don't be in a hurry, talk slowly."

Shen Huai hummed and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

Then Shen Huai became quiet and wrote on the paper, not even talking.

He was worried that there were still experts left in Wenxiang Pavilion, as they could hear even the slightest sound.

"Ahuai, eat some meat." Shen Muyin's voice came calmly, with a hint of smile, as if coaxing a child.

Her chopsticks tapped on the bowl and made a sound, telling the people outside that Shen Huai inside was indeed eating.

Shen Huai wrote quickly on the note.

[There is a vacant store in the best location on Kyoto's main street. I have already paid a deposit and asked the owner to keep it. Sister, what are you going to do? ]

Shen Muyin looked down and smiled.

I didn't expect Shen Huai to be so meticulous. After all, a good store can be gone in a flash.

She lowered her head and wrote on the paper.

【Thank you, A Huai. Where does A Huai get his money? 】

[Mother gave me a jade pendant, and I exchanged it for 100 taels of silver. I will redeem the jade pendant for mother in the future.]

[I will never forget Sanniang's help. ]

It really surprised Shen Muyin that Liu Rushi would let Shen Huai do this.

After all, Shen Muyin was very clear about Liu Rushi's situation. She didn't have any money, but running a store did require money.

She thought that if the store she liked was gone, she would still have a way to get it, but Shen Huai took the lead.

[Ah Huai, help my sister one more favor, and we will have money. Then we can run the store, and Sanniang's jade pendant will naturally be returned.]

Shen Huai nodded and looked at Shen Muyin very seriously. He completely trusted Shen Muyin.

[Go to this place, find a man named Qiao Sheng, and ask him to go to the Shen Mansion to treat Shen Zhenzhen. He will naturally know what to do. Wait for my news on the rest.]

Shen Muyin wrote quickly on the paper and left Qiao Sheng's address.

Qiao Sheng is Xu Zhong's apprentice and Shen Muyin's senior brother, so he naturally knows how to cure the poison in Shen Zhenzhen's body.

Shen Muyin wanted Qiao Sheng to use this opportunity to extort money from the second wife without anyone knowing.

Shen Huai nodded, indicating that he understood.

The next second, Shen Huai wrote on the paper again: [What does Sister want a shop for? ]

【Doing business.】 Shen Muyin explained.

She didn't say anything extra, as this was not the place for conversation.

But soon Xu Muyin continued to write on the paper: [Go to the dock and buy me a servant with some skills. You stay outside and wait for my notice.]

Shen Huai continued to nod.

Shen Huai kept it in mind until Xu Muyin finished explaining everything.

Then the paper on the table was burned clean by the candlelight.

People outside couldn't hear the conversation inside. Occasionally, they could only hear the sound of Shen Muyin coaxing Shen Huai to eat. It was soft and very pleasant.

"I told you, there's nothing to talk about with this idiot. He doesn't need anyone to listen." The servant sneered.

"She keeps coaxing that idiot to eat. If you don't know, you would think that this idiot was her child. Haha." Another servant also joined the mocking team.

The two spoke in low voices, but Shen Muyin could hear them clearly.

"Hehe..." Shen Muyin smiled faintly.

Shen Huai looked at Shen Muyin, his lips moved, but before he could speak, Shen Muyin's words came faintly to him.

"I suddenly feel that the things raised in the Eastern Palace are not bad. These people should be thrown in to feed them." Shen Muyin said cruelly, and the ruthlessness in his eyes could not be hidden.

Shen Huai looked at Shen Muyin and had only one thought in his mind.

He felt that Shen Muyin and Dong Gong were becoming more and more alike, so was it the case that birds of a feather flock together?

But Shen Huai didn't say this.

He stayed with Shen Muyin for a cup of tea before leaving.

Fennel had just packed up the osmanthus cake and peach cake and walked back: "Second Young Master, I will take you back."

"Smells so good... smells so good..." Shen Huai stared at the pastry in Xingxiang's hand.

Fennel coaxed patiently: "You can't eat now. Eating too much is not good. Eat it when you get home. The young lady asked the maid to pack it for you."

"I want to...eat...eat..." Shen Huai still stuttered.

Fennel coaxed Chuntao all the way, and Shen Huai made a fuss all the way, until Fennel sent people to Beiyuan. Fennel handed the pastry in her hand to Chuntao, and then turned around and left in a hurry.

Shen Huai and Chun Tao entered Beiyuan together, and Beiyuan suddenly became quiet and deserted.

……

Three days passed like this.

Most of the time, Shen Muyin accompanied Shen Rushuang in the ancestral hall to worship Buddha. She was very quiet and did not act pretentious just because she was favored now.

After Shen Rushuang finishes reciting the scriptures, Shen Muyin will give her a massage.

Liu Jieyu had been caned before, but now she is much quieter. However, Shaoyao still brings the medicine to Shen Rushuang on time every day.

But she didn't eat it. Shaoyao wanted to watch Shen Rushuang drink it, but Li Rong sent her away.

Shaoyao naturally did not dare to act rashly in front of Li Rong. After all, there was a hierarchy here, so Shaoyao could only leave reluctantly.

Liu Jieyu has been in a very bad mood recently, firstly because she is in unbearable pain, and secondly because Shen Zhenzhen's condition has not improved at all.

So Shaoyao didn't dare to bring bad luck to herself at this time, so she could only tell Concubine Liu that Shen Rushuang drank as usual. Otherwise, Shaoyao would be the one to be punished.

After all, Shaoyao knew very well that when Concubine Liu took action, she showed no mercy at all and was extremely cruel.

Thinking of the servants who had disappeared silently before, Shaoyao couldn't help but shudder, and was forced to lie.

On Shen Rushuang's side, Shen Muyin bent down and gave Shen Rushuang a massage, and Shen Rushuang felt a lot more relaxed.
