On the day Shen Xin was released from the palace and returned to the mansion, Shen Miao personally went to the palace gate to pick him up.
The others in the Shen family were naturally unhappy with this outcome, especially Old Madam Shen. She thought that Shen Xin was doomed, but she did not expect him to be spared in the end. However, when she heard from Shen Gui what it meant to have no military power, Old Madam Shen was delighted again.
Shen Xin, without his military power, was no longer on par with Shen Gui and Shen Wan in terms of influence in the imperial court. Old Madam Shen was short-sighted. She didn't realize that the Shen family was a whole. When the people thought of the Shen family, they first thought of Shen Xin. Once Shen Xin lost his power, the Shen family would no longer be as glorious.
