Xiao Yin had no intention of letting Steward Wang off the hook.

They exerted even more force.

"Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. You don't respect me at all now?" Xiao Yin sneered.

"General, I dare not! I am innocent!" Steward Wang cried out.

Xiao Yin completely ignored him.

Every word and phrase was aimed at convicting Steward Wang of wrongdoing.

"Injustice? I already ordered Shen Yinshuang to get up, but you, instead of telling the truth, made her keep kneeling? Who gave you the right to make decisions on your own!" Xiao Yin pulled Steward Wang up again.

Butler Wang was so frightened that he wet his pants.

"If this isn't rebellion, then what is it!" Xiao Yin's voice grew increasingly deep.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the servants present.

The servants immediately knelt down, and no one dared to utter a sound.

"I think it's time to change the leadership in the western suburbs. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause one day!" he said bluntly.

"Guards, drag this scoundrel out and give him thirty strokes of the cane. All other servants involved in this matter shall be punished as well. The rest are all to be dismissed and banished from the capital forever, lest they be executed without mercy!"

Xiao Yin finished speaking, word by word.

Butler Wang was thrown directly to the ground.

The guards quickly stepped forward and helped him onto the stool.

Soon, the courtyard was filled with the agonizing screams of the servants.

Xiao Yin ignored her and turned to walk towards Shen Yingshuang.

Cui Xi had come to her senses and staggered over.

"Miss, Miss, wake up!" Cui Xi called out anxiously.

When she saw Xiao Yin arrive, her voice was filled with nervousness: "General, please listen to what this servant has to say."

She knelt down and explained to Xiao Yin, fearing that Xiao Yin might do something to Shen Yingshuang again.

"The young lady definitely didn't mean to spit it out on purpose," Cui Xi said quickly, disregarding her own disheveled state.

"Perhaps the medicine was too bitter, so she immediately had the servants brew a new one."

"It's Steward Wang who's been making trouble for the young lady."

Cui Xi was stunned as she spoke.

Xiao Yin picked up the unconscious Shen Yinshuang by scooping her up in his arms.

They walked into the house.

Cui Xi was a little taken aback for a moment.

It seems that Xiao Yin's feelings for Shen Yinshuang are not as they perceive them to be.

But Cuixi didn't dare to think too much. She struggled to her feet and followed him inside.

Xiao Yin remained silent throughout the entire process.

Holding Shen Yinshuang in his arms, he ordered the guards without turning his head, "Go and fetch the doctor."

"Yes." The guard turned and left.

He quickly placed Shen Yinshuang on the bed.

His long robe was stained with blood.

But Xiao Yin didn't care.

He looked at Shen Yinshuang quietly, and several times he wanted to reach out and touch her.

Finally, the hand that had been hovering in mid-air was pulled back and clenched into a fist.

Shen Yinshuang betrayed me back then.

He shouldn't have any pity for such a woman.

Today I'm standing up for Shen Yinshuang.

It was simply because of Steward Wang's reckless and arbitrary behavior.

He would not allow such a lackey to be in the general's mansion.

Xiao Yin kept trying to convince himself.

But he knew very well that...

He turned back because of the sorrow and despair in Shen Yinshuang's eyes.

And there was the image of her kneeling on the ground, covered in blood, begging me.

For a moment, Xiao Yin wanted Shen Yinshuang to keep the child.

Reason pulled him back to reality.

he can not.

The current situation does not allow it.

He gradually calmed down.

Even though Shen Yinshuang was covered in blood, Xiao Yin was still terrified.

"General, it's alright, your servant is here." Cui Xi had already stepped forward.

"Get her dressed and change her into a clean set of clothes," Xiao Yin said hoarsely, suppressing his emotions.

"Yes." Cui Xi didn't dare to hesitate.

She brought back the hot water and some clean clothes.

But her eyes unconsciously drifted towards Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin didn't mean to leave.

Cui Xi didn't dare to say anything more and carefully changed Shen Yingshuang's clothes.

Soon, the blood-stained clothes fell to the ground.

The water in the basin was already full of filth.

The air was thick with the faint smell of blood.

Cui Xi tidied up for a long time but didn't dare to linger, and soon left.

The guards at the door announced, "General, Physician Cheng has arrived."

"Let him in," Xiao said, concealing his emotions.

Soon, Physician Cheng entered from outside and respectfully greeted Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin nodded in acknowledgment.

Without hesitation, the doctor immediately stepped forward to check on Shen Yinshuang's condition.

Throughout the entire process, his brow was furrowed.

It wasn't until the doctor looked at Xiao Yin that this happened.

"General Xiao, this young lady has caught a severe cold that hasn't fully healed. In addition, she took an abortion pill today, which has left her extremely weak, hence her persistent high fever."

Physician Cheng said with a serious expression, "In addition, this young lady has suffered from many ailments over the years, both major and minor, and will require a long period of recuperation; otherwise, her life may be in danger."

"What exactly happened?" Xiao Yin asked in a deep voice.

"Being in a damp environment all year round, and having all sorts of wounds on your body that haven't fully healed before being severely injured again, this cycle will eventually lead to a complete breakdown."

As he spoke, Physician Cheng shook his head.

"Also, this kneecap, from kneeling all year round, plus this damp environment, even if nothing happens, it will be extremely painful when the weather changes."

"Now that the kneecap is fractured, it is almost impossible for it to heal, and there will be problems walking in the future."

He explained the situation to Xiao Yin in detail.

Xiao Yin's palms gradually clenched into fists, his expression inscrutable.

But outwardly, he didn't show off.

"Is there anything else?" he continued to ask.

"The rest are just minor ailments, and I will prescribe medicine for them all." Physician Cheng didn't say anything more.

"Okay," Xiao Yin replied calmly.

Physician Cheng quickly wrote down the prescription.

The servant immediately went out to fetch the medicine.

Then Imperial Physician Cheng looked at Xiao Yin and said, "If there is nothing else, this humble subject will take his leave."

Physician Cheng didn't ask any further questions.

He knew exactly what the western suburbs were.

When he saw Shen Yinshuang again, he said it was impossible not to be surprised.

He immediately recognized Shen Yingshuang as Lord Pei's divorced wife.

He never expected that Shen Yingshuang would become Xiao Yin's mistress.

He knew perfectly well what he could and couldn't say.

However, since he was on good terms with Xiao Yin, he still had to give him the necessary reminders.

"General Xiao, you and Princess Anping are about to get married, and the Emperor's decree has been issued. There is no room for the slightest mistake."

"You know Prime Minister Cui's temper. If he knew, it would be troublesome."

Physician Cheng spoke frankly and directly.

"Prime Minister Cui will absolutely not allow you to keep a mistress outside. At that time, he will make an example of her to warn others, and the one who will suffer will be Miss Shen."

"Miss Shen's body can no longer withstand any more strain."

He stopped there.

Xiao Yin remained silent.

The hand behind his back gradually clenched into a fist.

He understood what Physician Cheng meant.

If it's for Shen Yinshuang's own good, then write her a letter of farewell and let her leave.

But he couldn't accept that.

A woman who betrayed him.

Yet they can easily walk away and leave.

On what grounds?

His gaze was fixed on the unconscious Shen Yinshuang.
