Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 315 The only candidate

"The second young lady never came back since she was called to the yamen," said Fennel.

Shen Muyin didn't say anything. According to Shen Muyin's understanding of Shen Zhenzhen, she would definitely cry to him and tell him about the grievances of Shen Changsheng and Shen Yan, saying that they were framed.

But now Shen Zhenzhen is not here?

But think about it, it doesn't seem strange. Shen Zhenzhen wants to deal with this matter. Does Shen Zhenzhen go to find that person?

Why would that person continue to help the Shen family when the Shen family had failed many times?

According to Shen Muyin's guess, it should be impossible.

The Shen family is equivalent to a useless chess piece, unless the Shen family has some evidence against this person, or the Shen family has an ace in hand.

"Miss, why are you looking for Miss? Miss is just acting. If something happened to you, Miss would be so happy. Now it's the adults and the young master who are in trouble. Miss is probably trying to deal with it and is cursing you to death in her heart."

Fennel snorted and spoke directly.

In this case, Shen Muyin didn't say anything: "Don't say too much about this kind of thing in the future, so as not to implicate yourself, understand?"

"I understand." Fennel replied in a low voice.

Then Fennel said nothing, quietly packed up and left.

Shen Muyin took out the jade pendant from his clothes and put it in his hand.

She watched quietly, and suddenly Shen Muyin's pupils widened, as if he understood something.

The swaddling clothes are still in the hands of the Shen family, including this jade pendant.

Could it be that the person also wants these two things, so he can't do anything to the Shen family? Are they restraining each other?

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin vaguely connected some things.

But in the end, she didn't say much and gradually quieted down. Shen Muyin just watched from the window edge, and the Shen Mansion was unusually quiet tonight.

At nightfall, Dong Jin appeared silently in Shen Muyin's house.

Muyin looked at Dongjin, and Dongjin quickly said, "Miss, we can't find any evidence from Shen Zhenzhen. She handled it very cleanly."

To be precise, everyone in the Shen Mansion handled it very cleanly.

"If Xiaojiu and Xiaoqi hadn't found evidence against Shen Cong and knew about these connections, this matter would have been really difficult to handle." Dong Jin feels scared when he thinks about it now.

Then Dong Jin spoke seriously: "Fortunately, the young lady is smart and was able to point out the mistakes of the coroner in the first place."

Shen Muyin just listened quietly, and then she nodded.

But the look in Dong Jin's eyes was filled with a hint of contemplation: "Tell me, if the Shen family can get away with this, what should they do?"

"Find a scapegoat." Dong Jin responded without thinking.

"Then who will be the scapegoat?" Shen Muyin asked again.

Everyone knows this truth. Shen Muyin now feels that he has gotten into trouble and probably needs to find a third party to analyze and judge for him.

Coincidentally, Dong Jin is a suitable candidate.

After all, Dong Jin has always been by Dong Gong's side and is an extremely perceptive person.

Shen Muyin's question obviously stunned Dong Jin for a moment, but Dong Jin was still thinking seriously throughout the whole process.

After a long time, Dong Jin shook her head: "I can't think of anything. I feel like no one is suitable."

"You say." Shen Muyin didn't mind and spoke solemnly.

Dong Jin was quiet for a while, then he slowly said: "Almost everyone in the Shen Mansion is Shen Changsheng's man. Shen Yan and Shen Changsheng went in together, so they definitely can't be scapegoats. And Shen Zhenzhen and the others must have a use, and they can't be sacrificed. If there is really someone behind Shen Zhenzhen, then the Shen family can't move until this person abandons Shen Zhenzhen."

Dong Jin was analyzing carefully, and Shen Muyin was listening quietly.

"The remaining servants in the mansion are not convincing at all." Dong Jin spread his hands, "The only possibility is the Third Madam and the Third Young Master. But the Third Young Master obviously won't let them use him so easily. Besides, the Third Madam is bedridden to the outside world, and the Third Young Master is a fool. No one would believe that he would do such a thing."

Dong Jin’s analysis was thorough, so he almost blocked all the roads.

Unless Shen Huai is not a madman and is discovered, but considering Shen Huai is so cautious, it is absolutely impossible.

"So, I can't think of it." Dong Jin said seriously.

Shen Muyin was also in deep thought, reviewing all these people.

Suddenly, Shen Muyin and Dong Jin looked at each other at the same time, and it was Shen Muyin who broke the silence first.

"Who do you think of?" Shen Muyin asked directly.

Dong Jin did not hesitate: "Butler Wang."

Shen Muyin stopped talking because the person she was thinking about was the same person Dong Jin was thinking about.

In the Shen Mansion, only Butler Wang is suitable.

At this time, Shen Muyin looked at Dong Jin, who was very calm instead: "Not surprising, Steward Wang did it for the Shen Mansion, but after the eldest lady cleaned up, he was very honest."

Dong Jin paused and said, "To be honest, people like Shen Yan and Shen Changsheng cannot fail to see that Butler Wan is helping the young lady. So, under such circumstances, how could they let Butler Wang go?"

This is tantamount to having ulterior motives.

So in this case, according to the Shen family's style, they must get rid of him as soon as possible.

"So, if it's really what Butler Wang said, does the young lady want to be saved?" Dong Jin asked Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin lowered her eyebrows and thought deeply, then she looked at Dong Jin and answered directly: "No."

Dong Jin nodded in understanding: "If I were the young lady, I would not save her. Someone who can turn around and stand on the young lady's side under threat will choose to betray her sooner or later. He is not a trustworthy person."

In Dong Jin's opinion, when Butler Wang was being taught a lesson by Shen Muyin, he still stood firmly in the Shen Mansion. He is indeed a person worthy of admiration.

But it was obvious that Butler Wang was a fence-sitter, and there was no way to save him.

As for Shen Muyin, Dong Jin knew after following her for a long time that she was never a white lotus and did not have such a kind heart as a bodhisattva.

This is exactly the same as the East Palace.

"It's very late. You should go down and have a rest first. You have worked hard these past two days. Also, please say thank you to Xiaojiu and Xiaoqi for me." Shen Muyin ended the topic.

"It's an honor for them to serve the young lady." Dong Jin smiled and covered his mouth, "Otherwise, they wouldn't be so easy to talk to on weekdays."

Shen Muyin smiled softly and said nothing.

Dong Jin soon stopped bothering Shen Muyin and turned around and walked out. Shen Muyin was a little tired, but her mind was still clear.

Even when resting on the bed, Shen Muyin remained absolutely calm. After a long time, Shen Muyin gradually fell asleep.

But she could not sleep soundly. Perhaps it was because of what was going to happen next that Shen Muyin could not sleep well.
