Spring in the East Palace

"If we bypass His Highness, we will need money. Without money, we cannot buy snow forging. We can't kill people or rob them, right?" Dong Jin was in a dilemma. "Besides, if we don't have money, we can't even meet with those suppliers."

After he finished speaking, Shen Muyin gave Dong Jin the banknotes: "If you get the job done, the remaining banknotes will be yours."

"Don't worry, I will definitely get it done for you." Dong Jin blinked and accepted the banknote generously.

After taking the banknotes, Dong Jin disappeared in a flash. Shen Muyin shook his head in indulgence, and Hui Xiang had already made the bed.

"Miss, I'll apply some medicine for you. You should go to bed early." Fennel said with concern.

"Okay." Shen Muyin nodded.

Fennel took the ointment sent by Donggong and applied it to Shen Muyin carefully. When the cool touch came, the original redness and swelling disappeared instantly.

After applying the medicine, Fennel didn't say anything and quietly left.

Shen Muyin then slowly closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

……

When it was dawn, Shen Muyin opened his eyes and saw that there were several more snow forges in the house, as well as a list of merchants who supplied snow forges from Yan State and even other countries in the Western Regions, ranging from large to small.

Fennel heard the noise in the room and came in quickly, carrying water for washing her face and a towel.

"Miss, please wash up. I have prepared breakfast." Fennel said quietly.

Shen Muyin did not refuse. Huixiang naturally saw the things in the house, and she explained to Shen Muyin on her own.

"These were delivered by Miss Dong Jin at four o'clock in the morning. Now Miss Dong Jin has gone to sleep." Fennel knew what Shen Muyin wanted to ask.

Shen Muyin smiled and nodded: "Let her sleep."

Dong Jin stayed up late at night to do this, so he is naturally sleepy now.

Fennel nodded: "Miss, what do you want these for?"

"Embroidery." Shen Muyin did not hide it from Fennel.

"You can embroider?" Fennel was surprised. "That's great. I won't be overshadowed by the Second Miss during the hunting grounds. The Second Miss has always been the most outstanding among all the female relatives. She is proficient in chess, music, calligraphy and painting. And the Second Miss's embroidery is also famous in Kyoto. The Empress Dowager likes it very much."

Shen Muyin was quiet, listening to Fennel's words, and soon she laughed softly.

In her previous life, she knew that Shen Zhenzhen was truly the most popular person, and all the princes and sons of the capital flocked to her.

But Shen Muyin knew very well that Shen Zhenzhen's embroidery skills were poor, and the embroidery in Shen Zhenzhen's hands was all embroidered by the nanny next to Concubine Liu.

However, this nanny's skills are amazing, comparable to those of the Wen family's embroiderers.

But in such a huge Shen Mansion, Shen Muyin had never seen this nanny before. It was as if she was hiding in the East Garden and had never appeared in front of everyone.

Later, Shen Zhenzhen found out that she was good at embroidery, so she coaxed me into helping her embroider, and then took these things to show her off to others.

Naturally, all these benefits went to Shen Zhenzhen, and Shen Muyin didn't get any advantage at all.

In this life, how could she let Shen Zhenzhen get what she wanted? If the person behind this was not hiding very deeply, and Shen Zhenzhen was a clue, she would not have to give in like this.

She would send Shen Zhenzhen to hell without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I'm not so useless." Shen Muyin comforted Fennel.

Fennel nodded: "I'll get you the embroidery frame."

"Go ahead." Shen Muyin nodded.

After that, Shen Muyin washed up, had breakfast, and quietly embroidered in the Wenxiang Pavilion.

But from time to time, Shen Muyin would hear shrill screams coming from the woodshed, and she would glance at them inconspicuously.

Oh, Shen Zhenzhen will have to endure this pain for at least seven days.

Fennel took the initiative to explain: "The second young lady was locked in the woodshed and forced to kneel. After all, she was pampered on weekdays. This night, the second young lady's knees were broken and covered in blood. Not only that, the servant in the woodshed also said that the second young lady seemed to be crazy. She was talking in a trance all night and said that she saw a ghost."

As she spoke, Fennel scratched her head: "Some of the servants in the Shen Mansion have been dead for a long time. They said that the second young lady was always talking about the servants who died in the Shen Mansion before."

Shen Muyin put down his needle and listened quietly without interrupting what Huixiang was saying.

Instead, Hui Xiang looked at Shen Muyin and said, "Miss, are there really ghosts of these people in the mansion?"

"If you haven't done anything wrong, why should you be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door?" Shen Muyin responded calmly.

"That's right." Fennel was naive and didn't think any more about it.

Shen Muyin carefully sewed on the snow forge, and her needlework seemed extremely skillful. Fennel was so absorbed in watching that she couldn't help but praise her, "Miss, you are really amazing."

Shen Muyin didn't say anything, just smiled.

She lowered her head and moved the needle. Time passed by minute by minute, and Fennel stood quietly by the side.

In the morning, Shen Muyin formed an outline, which was an extremely beautiful cherry blossom. The pink color was set off against the white snow satin, making it impossible to take your eyes off it.

Shen Muyin lowered his head, feeling a little tired, so he stood up and stretched.

Soon, the noise downstairs made Shen Muyin look down and saw that the person next to Shen Yan was none other than Shen Yin.

Shen Yin is back too? This is really lively.

Shen Muyin clearly remembered that Shen Yin was the son of Shen Changsheng and a maidservant in the mansion when Shen Changsheng was an adult.

Naturally, Shen Yin had no status. And this maid, after giving birth to Shen Yin, was not destined to enjoy happiness, and died of complications during childbirth.

Shen Yin was originally under the name of the principal wife, Zhang, so people who didn't know the truth thought he was the eldest son of the principal wife.

But Shen Yin was an extremely smart person. After Concubine Liu married into the Shen family, he saw the situation clearly and wisely stood on Concubine Liu's side.

Shen Yin was also involved in a lot of Zhang's difficult childbirth and the various conspiracies that followed.

In addition, Shen Yin was old and did not like to be an official, so he left home to start his own business very early.

In his previous life, most of the money in Shen Yan's hands had passed through Shen Yin's merchants, which was reasonable.

To put it bluntly, the two of them are in cahoots with each other.

Even though Shen Yin is older than him, he is still polite to Shen Yan. Shen Yan even calls Shen Yin by his name instead of calling him "big brother".

But this Shen Yin, to Shen Muyin——

Shen Muyin still feels sick when he thinks about it now.

But in the previous life, Shen Muyin was particularly fond of Shen Yin, because Shen Yin gave her the greatest comfort when the Shen family was facing setbacks everywhere.

Now it seems that Shen Yin is just greedy for his body and wants to be well behaved and obedient.

When she got into trouble, Shen Yin was the first to leave, and even added insult to injury.

Oh, hypocritical man.

When Shen Muyin looked at Shen Yin, Shen Yin's sight also fell on Shen Muyin. He smiled: "Is this Muyin's sister?"

Shen Yan didn't say anything, but his expression clearly showed that he disliked Shen Muyin.
