Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 42 The Bait Has Been Placed

"I haven't drunk the medicine sent by the second room these days, and with your massage, my head doesn't hurt so much anymore." Shen Rushuang said with emotion.

Shen Muyin did not stop the action in his hands, and said calmly: "Grandma just has a migraine. Many people will have it when they get older. It's not a real disease. Just relieve it. If the headache is really severe, take some painkillers. Go out for a walk more often and bask in the sun, and you will feel better."

This is true.

Shen Muyin is willing to help Shen Rushuang, not because she is a saint, but because she is overwhelmed with compassion.

But Shen Muyin knew that now she needed Shen Rushuang as a backer. If she didn't need him anymore, she would not keep the Shen family alone.

Letting the Shen family have internal strife could reduce her many troubles and save a lot of time.

These people in the Shen family are all pawns of the mastermind behind the scenes. These pawns are not worth Shen Muyin wasting too much of his time on.

Shen Muyin was silent for a moment, hiding his thoughts very well.

"Hmph, when the doctor over there finds out what's in here, I will definitely not let the second house go." Shen Rushuang sneered.

At times like this, Shen Muyin would never interrupt and would just quietly do what he was doing.

Soon, the ancestral hall became quiet. Li Rong had already prepared lunch. Shen Muyin then let go of his hand and helped Shen Rushuang to eat together.

When they arrived at the kitchen, everyone heard Shen Zhenzhen's tragic voice coming from Nanyuan. He was smashing things in front of him like a madman.

Shen Muyin's eyes fell in the direction of Nanyuan. She had never entered there, but she had more or less heard from Butler Wang that the situation in Nanyuan was a mess.

Shen Zhenzhen threw away everything that could be thrown and got angry whenever he saw someone.

No one in the Shen Mansion dared to provoke Shen Zhenzhen anymore. Even Shen Zhenzhen's confidant Tao Yao was scared and ran away several times.

His face was alternating between blue and white, with obvious bloodstains.

Make a fuss, the bigger the better.

Shen Muyin lowered his brows and looked calm.

Because she knew that the doctors who had been coming and going to the Shen Mansion in the past few days had already spread the news of Shen Zhenzhen's condition, and everyone knew that the second young lady of the Shen family was disfigured.

There were even rumors that Shen Zhenzhen had an infectious disease and anyone who got close to her would be infected.

After a while, even the people who came to see Shen Zhenzhen disappeared.

The previous imperial physician was isolated in a room by the Imperial Hospital when he returned to the palace. This move made the rumors outside even more rampant.

All of a sudden, the Shen Mansion became extremely quiet, and the former bustle disappeared.

You know, after Shen Zhenzhen turned sixteen, the threshold of the Shen Mansion was almost broken down by people, but now, it has suddenly become quiet.

Of course Shen Zhenzhen couldn't accept this gap.

"Are all the doctors here unable to cure the disease?" Shen Rushuang's voice interrupted Shen Muyin's thoughts.

She looked at Shen Rushuang calmly and did not answer.

Li Rong spoke quietly: "Madam, almost all the doctors in Kyoto have arrived, but none of them can do anything for the Second Miss's condition."

Li Rong sighed as she spoke, probably not expecting the situation to be like this.

"Zhenzhen is just a girl. If her face is really disfigured, she might not be able to survive." Shen Rushuang looked at her with heartache, "What went wrong to make Zhenzhen suffer such a disaster?"

"Madam, those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future. A fortune teller once said that the second young lady is blessed with great fortune and will become rich and powerful in the future. Nothing will happen to her." Li Rong was comforting Shen Rushuang.

In the kitchen, Shen Zhenzhen's screams could still be clearly heard.

It didn't take long before the news came again.

"What should we do? The hunting ground is coming soon. The palace has sent a message that Zhenzhen must enter the palace. You know, every year at the hunting ground, the emperor will arrange a marriage for Zhenzhen. How can Zhenzhen enter the palace when she is in her current condition?" Shen Rushuang also became nervous.

Between the lines, there is still concern and love for Shen Zhenzhen.

Shen Muyin listened quietly without interrupting.

Shen Muyin was naturally aware of Shen Rushuang's partiality.

In his previous life, Shen Muyin was nearly disfigured, and Shen Rushuang didn't even come to see him, let alone show any concern for him.

After all, Shen Rushuang doesn't like herself, and Shen Zhenzhen is the jewel that was raised in the palm of Shen Rushuang's hand, and all the attention is on Shen Zhenzhen.

In addition, Shen Zhenzhen is well-behaved, sensible, and knows how to please people, which makes her very popular.

In this life, Shen Muyin just made Shen Zhenzhen suffer the pain he suffered in his previous life, and Shen Rushuang felt so distressed.

Therefore, after comparison, the results of many things are immediate.

Just like now, if something happened to herself and Shen Zhenzhen at the same time, Shen Rushuang would still choose Shen Zhenzhen without hesitation.

No matter how much Shen Rushuang likes me in this life, it can't compare to the love that Shen Zhenzhen has for me for more than ten years.

Concubine Liu is Concubine Liu, and Shen Zhenzhen is Shen Zhenzhen. Shen Rushuang knows the difference very well, but in Shen Muyin's view, it is nothing but ignorance.

"Mu Yin, do you have any ideas about this matter?" Shen Rushuang suddenly asked Shen Mu Yin.

Shen Muyin put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at Shen Rushuang, and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Yes."

"You say." Shen Rushuang immediately looked at Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin spoke slowly and calmly: "Madam, there will always be brave men under a big reward. As long as there is a doctor who can cure my sister's illness, then if the governor of Beijing offers a thousand taels of gold, how can no one come?"

She stated her purpose, and Qiao Sheng had already made preparations after being informed by Shen Huai.

Shen Muyin remained calm before because he couldn't act too hastily or he might get into trouble.

Now the people in the Shen family are anxious, so what Shen Muyin said seems reasonable.

After all, everything must have a legitimate reason to be tenable.

"Yes, that's one way." Shen Rushuang nodded.

Soon, Shen Rushuang asked Li Rong to notify Shen Changsheng, and after a while, a notice was posted outside the door of the Shen Mansion.

Suddenly, Kyoto became lively again.

Shen Muyin didn't say anything the whole time and remained quiet.

Thousands of taels of gold. How could an ordinary prefect of Beijing have so much money? Isn't it worth investigating?

In his previous life, Shen Muyin knew very well that Shen Changsheng was corrupt and accepted bribes, and abused his power to enrich himself. The rare treasures in the Shen Mansion were no less than those in any other prince's mansion.

However, Shen Changsheng has always been honest in public, and he is cautious in his work, so he would not be suspected at all.

Shen Muyin was determined to wipe out Shen Changsheng bit by bit in the court.

After all, Shen Changsheng never treated Shen Muyin as his own daughter. Not only that, wasn't it Shen Changsheng who indulged Shen Muyin all the way to her death in her previous life?

Because this person knows everything clearly.

She had already put out the bait and all she had to do was wait for the fish to take the bait.
