Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 319 I wish you all the best

Yes, Shen Huai is a man, and a man should have ambitions to travel far and wide. How could he stay in a small place like Ji County?

That place is only suitable for Liu Rushi to recuperate, and it would be a waste of Shen Huai's talent to stay there.

"Okay. I have a house in Kyoto. If you want to come back, you can live there. You can tell me if you have any business you want to do, or you can help me in the embroidery room and shop." Shen Muyin said quickly.

Shen Huai just watched like this, and suddenly there was a moment when Shen Muyin couldn't see through Shen Huai's thoughts.

"Of course, if Ah Huai has any ideas, you can tell me." Shen Muyin was silent for a moment, then looked at Shen Huai and continued speaking.

After a long while, Shen Huai replied calmly: "I just want to stay with my sister."

Shen Muyin was slightly stunned, and then she laughed softly: "It's not good to stay with me, I don't know what will happen to me. If possible, I also hope that Ah Huai will follow me."

Shen Muyin didn't hate Shen Huai, she even liked him.

So under such circumstances, Shen Muyin is willing to give his all to train Shen Huai.

But she hadn't gotten to the point of the shocking case in her previous life, so she didn't know what would happen to her, and naturally she didn't dare to drag Shen Huai along.

In the previous life, Shen Huai got into trouble because of her, so she didn't want Shen Huai to get into trouble because of her again in this life.

"I don't think it's bad to stay with my sister." Shen Huai said firmly.

Although he may not have had much contact with Shen Huai, Shen Muyin more or less knows that Shen Huai is actually a person who does not easily change his mind.

So in this case, there was no need for her to force Shen Huai.

"Okay." Shen Muyin nodded, but still looked serious when looking at Shen Huai.

"Ahuai, you can stay in Kyoto, but I have only one request. If anything happens, you must protect yourself first, okay?" Shen Muyin looked at Shen Huai seriously.

Shen Huai's thin lips moved slightly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Muyin seemed much more serious.

For the first time, in Shen Huai's eyes, Shen Muyin discovered that there was more of a man's determination, but less of the boy's laxity and indolence.

It is more serious than ever before.

And such seriousness was directed at himself. Shen Muyin suddenly thought of something, but he was not sure, and even felt it was absurd.

Shen Huai likes me?

This thought made Shen Muyin couldn't help laughing out loud.

How could Shen Huai like me?

In the previous life, Shen Muyin and Shen Huai had almost never had any contact, and Shen Huai still didn't even know that Shen Huai was not a fool.

When we found out, it was Shen Huai begging for mercy, and finally he fell into the pond and drowned.

In this life, if there is any initiative, it was me who took the initiative to find Shen Huai. Shen Huai had never taken the initiative before.

So, how could she think that Shen Huai liked her? This idea was really too absurd.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin shook his head and became quiet.

What came to Shen Muyin's ears was Shen Huai's firm voice: "I hope my sister is fine."

"Okay." Shen Muyin nodded.

As if after getting Shen Muyin's permission, Shen Huai continued: "I will follow Sister's request and let Chuntao come out tomorrow to say that mother has passed away. The rest will be arranged by Sister. Send mother back to Ji County. I will come back after she is settled."

"Okay." Shen Muyin didn't say much.

Soon, Shen Huai didn't stay long and turned around and left the Wenxiang Pavilion.

Shen Muyin quietly watched Shen Huai's leaving back, but didn't say anything, until Shen Huai's figure could no longer be seen.

The next day, Liu Rushi's maid Chuntao came with great sadness and told her the news that Liu Rushi had passed away.

Shen Huai was in a daze, and seemed not to understand, still making a fuss for food.

The people in the Shen residence suddenly became chaotic.

Now that Shen Yan and Shen Changsheng are not here, Shen Muyin is the only person who can make the decision at home.

Also because Shen Yan is away, Shen Zhenzhen is now extremely low-key and even dares not speak out.

In this situation, when Shen Zhenzhen came out, he looked tired and weak.

But the hypocritical concern between the lines is still there: "Why is Sanniang fine?"

It seemed as if she wanted to say something but stopped, and also as if she was about to cry out loud.

The doctor at the side also gave a positive answer, kneeling on the ground and looking at Shen Muyin: "Miss, the third wife has indeed passed away. She has been terminally ill for a long time, and this day is only a matter of time. Miss, please accept my condolences."

Shen Zhenzhen sighed deeply, seeming to be extremely sad.

But anyone with a discerning eye could clearly see that there was no sadness in Shen Zhenzhen's eyes, it was all just acting.

Shen Muyin didn't even look at Shen Zhenzhen, and Butler Wang stepped forward and said, "Miss, now that the master and the young master are not here, you have full authority."

"I remember Sanniang is from Ji County? Concubines from Yan State cannot be buried in the Shen family's cemetery. They must either be sent back to their hometown or scattered into the sea." Shen Muyin said lightly.

This is the custom of Yan State.

Only those who were formally married could do so, and Liu Ru was not one of them, so she entered as a concubine.

Even though she was once favored, it was only once, so she has been left here in the dark all these years.

"Ahuai is Sanniang's only son, so naturally he has to follow her. So I made the decision on my own and let Sanniang return to Jixian, and Ahuai and Chuntao follow. It's better to return to one's roots than to be thrown into the sea. What do you think?"

Shen Muyin said calmly.

Butler Wang naturally had no objection. Without Shen Yan and Shen Changsheng to take charge, Shen Zhenzhen would seem much more isolated and helpless.

What's more, Shen Zhenzhen never cared about the affairs of the third room.

The Shen family, that is, the relationship between Shen Muyin and the third house is quite good. The fool Shen Huai often goes to Shen Muyin to ask for food.

So in this situation, it is normal for Shen Muyin to want Liu Rushi to return to her hometown.

Shen Zhenzhen didn't plan to intervene at all: "Sister, just make the decision on this matter. I have no opinion. Sanniang's death is really hard for me to accept. She was such a good person..."

As he spoke, Shen Zhenzhen hypocritically shed two tears.

Shen Muyin laughed sarcastically in his heart. What a great actor! It was all sophisticated egoism from beginning to end.

Shen Muyin knew even more clearly that Shen Zhenzhen might not even remember what Liu Rushi looked like, so why should he pretend to be sincere here now.

However, Shen Muyin did not say anything, too lazy to expose Shen Zhenzhen.

Soon, the people in the Shen Mansion got busy sending Liu Rushi back to Ji County.

It takes at least four or five days to travel from Ji County to Beijing, even if you use a horse carriage.

In addition, Liu Rushi was already dead, and a heavy ice coffin was needed, so the journey would be delayed.

Butler Wang prepared everything immediately and ordered people to take Liu Ru and Shen Huai on the road. Shen Muyin personally sent them to the door.
