Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 213 The Servant Dies Suddenly

It was unknown when Lu Nanhuai left, and when he came back, a man who looked like a fisherman was following him.

When the people in the room saw Lu Nanhuai, they were all confused, not knowing what had happened. Only Nanny Li saw that Lu Nanhuai's face changed completely.

Xiao Qin'er came back to her senses and immediately looked towards Dong Gong in front of her, pointing her finger at the man who looked like a fisherman.

Because she couldn't speak, Xiao Qin'er babbled something, and then she looked at Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin asked calmly, "Xiao Qin'er means that Nanny Li is asking about the crabs this person bought, right?"

Xiao Qiner nodded heavily, very seriously.

Lu Nanhuai looked at the fisherman with a cold face. The fisherman immediately knelt down to pay his respects to the East Palace, and then said with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, during this period of time, this old nanny has been coming to my shop to buy crabs. Because there are very few crabs, and they must be fresh, I have to come from the seaside, which takes time, so I have to make reservations in advance. She always leaves silver and signs a contract to prevent breaking the contract."

The fisherman explained it clearly and placed the contract in his hand in front of Donggong.

The secret guard stepped forward and handed the contract in the fisherman's hand to Dong Gong. The content on it was not much different from what Xiao Qin'er had hidden, except that the signer was different.

One is Nanny Li and the other is a fisherman.

Donggong looked at her and sneered, "What a slut, how are you going to explain now?"

The evidence is conclusive. The attempt to frame Shen Muyin failed, and now he is completely trapped in his own web.

Faced with this situation, Nanny Li knew that there was nothing she could do. She just looked at Shen Muyin and crawled towards Shen Muyin on her knees.

"Miss, please listen to me. I have my own difficulties. Please... let me go. I am willing to tell you anything." Nanny Li was begging Shen Muyin.

After all, even a fool can see that the only person who can make the decision here is Shen Muyin.

And Donggong stood on Shen Muyin's side without a second thought, and would not leave any room for anyone.

So in this situation, if you want to survive, you can only beg Shen Muyin.

But before Nanny Li could get close to Shen Muyin, she was stopped by Dong Jin.

Shen Muyin stood there, watching coldly and heartlessly. She did not sympathize with Nanny Li, just as she had never sympathized with Shen Rushuang.

She had given them a chance to live. As long as they followed their own path, at least they wouldn't lose their lives.

But no matter how well she did, Shen Rushuang still had these members of the Shen family in her heart, and all these members of the Shen family wanted was Shen Rushuang's life.

In Shen Muyin's opinion, this was all his own fault.

At first, Shen Muyin thought that Nanny Li was a smart person who knew how to recognize the times and become a wise man. Now, it is obvious that he was overthinking it.

Shen Muyin lowered her eyes and spoke in a very cold voice: "What else do you have to say? You framed my grandmother first, totally disregarding your decades of sisterhood, and then you framed me, without even considering how good I was to you. What's the point of you begging me for mercy now?"

"Miss, this matter has nothing to do with me, it's all..." Nanny Li said with a trembling voice, turned around and pointed in the direction of Concubine Liu.

But as soon as Nanny Li raised her hand, her pupils widened, she couldn't believe what was happening, and her expression became extremely painful.

Before she could even finish a sentence, she vomited blood and fell to the ground, dead without a sound.

When she fell down, Nanny Li was unable to close her eyes and died with her eyes open.

The room was quiet. Shen Muyin just looked down at her with an indifferent expression, and didn't even touch Nanny Li.

Shen Muyin would not think that Nanny Li's tragic death was an accident, and she also knew who did it.

But in this situation, Shen Muyin did nothing.

The Shen family cannot be touched now. If a big fuss is made, even without evidence, the Shen family can still escape.

In his previous life, Shen Muyin already knew very well how cunning the Shen family was.

"Drag him away and throw him into the mass grave." Lu Nanhuai ordered with a cold face.

The guards on the side quickly dragged Li Ma's body away, and the servants at the side stepped forward and immediately cleaned up the ancestral hall.

Shen Muyin was still standing there, and Donggong looked at the Shen family with cold eyes.

Shen Changsheng was the first to react. He immediately looked at Shen Muyin and said, "Muyin, you see, it's my fault. I convicted you before I could find out the truth. But I was really too anxious. After all, it was your grandmother who was in trouble."

As he said that, Shen Changsheng glared at Concubine Liu. Concubine Liu was unwilling but could only smile awkwardly and look at Shen Muyin.

"Mu Yin, we are all family. Now that the real murderer has been caught, everyone is happy." Concubine Liu's voice was very soft, for fear that Shen Mu Yin would not give her any face.

Even Liu Jieyu was still lowering her head out of guilt, but Shen Muyin remained cold and seemed not to respond to Liu Jieyu's words.

"What do you think?" Dong Gong raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Shen Muyin indifferently.

"Your Highness." Shen Muyin turned around and was about to go to the East Palace, "I want to know what the result is of Yan State fabricating a false case."

"He deserves death for his crime." Donggong said expressionlessly.

The Shen family members were horrified when they heard this. After all, if the Eastern Palace said they would behead someone, then it really was a beheading.

As for what happened today, Shen Muyin had been caught with evidence. Naturally, the Shen family members kowtowed and pleaded guilty without thinking twice.

"Your Highness, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I didn't do it on purpose. I was just too anxious." Shen Changsheng kowtowed desperately and said, "If it wasn't for my mother being involved, I wouldn't have done this."

Concubine Liu was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Shen Yan looked at Shen Muyin gloomily, but he didn't dare to do anything. The Shen family couldn't be implicated in this incident.

"But the prefect of Beijing has a close relationship with me after all, so please consider my appearance and punish me lightly to serve as a warning to others." Shen Muyin said very generously.

The faces of the Shen family members changed. This was a warning to others. It was obvious with just a thought that it was not a good thing.

But now, they have to be grateful to Shen Muyin, and this punishment will not be announced by Shen Muyin, leaving them no room for resistance.

It’s like Shen Zhenzhen was being tortured in the Heavenly Prison, but Shen Muyin could say with certainty that it was the Eastern Palace’s intention.

How could he leave without feeling a little wronged? And this grievance was not just a little bit. Shen Zhenzhen had just come out of the Sky Prison, and that look was still deeply remembered by everyone.

So when the Shen family thought about this, they couldn't help but feel horrified.

Under such circumstances, the Shen family looked at Shen Muyin in horror, but Shen Muyin stood there coldly, as if he completely ignored the situation.
