Xiao Yin left the courtyard and headed towards Kaiyuan Temple.

Kaiyuan Temple is located in the southwest and is the closest temple to the courtyard.

Along the way, Xiao Yin galloped away on horseback.

His brows were furrowed, he remained silent, and his eyes were sharp.

He knew he was afraid that Shen Yinshuang would leave without saying goodbye.

If that's the case, he'll dig three feet into the ground and still not let Shen Yinshuang go.

On the way to Kaiyuan Temple, Xiao Yin's eyes narrowed as a familiar figure appeared before him.

Shen Yinshuang!

He turned his horse around and galloped off in Shen Yingshuang's direction.

But as he got closer, Xiao Yin pulled on the reins and jumped off his horse.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he stared intently at Shen Yinshuang.

She entered a clinic.

Xiao Yin's gaze darkened slightly as he thought of Shen Yinshuang's miscarriage.

So, was there an accident?

He had always been aware of Shen Yinshuang's situation in the small courtyard in the western suburbs.

Xiao Yin tacitly approved of the servant's disregard for Shen Yinshuang.

He was making things difficult for Shen Yinshuang.

Therefore, apart from Cui Xi, Shen Yinshuang had to do many things herself.

It's perfectly reasonable for someone to come out to see a doctor alone.

Xiao Yin didn't speak, and stood quietly outside the clinic.

He wanted to go in.

and then?

What did he say to Shen Yinshuang in front of everyone?

Numerous thoughts and worries caused Xiao Yin to stop in his tracks.

Inside the clinic, Shen Yinshuang quietly watched the doctor without speaking.

The doctor frowned, his expression somewhat subtle.

"Young lady, you are pregnant." After a long silence, the doctor lowered his voice and spoke bluntly, "This is a pregnancy pulse."

Shen Yinshuang was somewhat stunned.

Even though I had my doubts, once I was sure, I was more surprised and delighted.

"But your pulse is unstable. If it continues like this, the child will not survive sooner or later," the doctor explained clearly.

"I'll show you some medication to help maintain the pregnancy. But the most important thing is for you to stay calm." The doctor didn't say anything more.

"Thank you." Shen Yinshuang nodded.

She didn't elaborate on the background, fearing something might go wrong.

After the doctor finished prescribing the medicine, she took the prescription to the pharmacy in front of her and picked up the medicine.

Without hesitation, she headed towards the Pei family's location.

She needs to retrieve something from the Pei family.

That was a keepsake that Xiao Yin gave him back then.

Starting in the second year of her marriage to Pei Shou'an, she was tormented by him.

He was kept in the woodshed in the backyard year-round.

By the time she was divorced, Shen Yinshuang was barely clinging to life.

The only thing keeping Shen Yinshuang alive was the keepsake given to her by Xiao Yin.

Otherwise, she would probably be gone by now.

When the Pei family kicked her out.

They used the most humiliating method to force Shen Yinshuang to take off her clothes and check if she had taken any items from the Pei family.

Shen Yinshuang was forced to hide the token in the woodshed.

She entrusted the only kind person in the Pei family to her, Granny Zhang, and asked her to help keep it safe.

She figured she'd have a chance to come back and get it eventually.

But when he saw Xiao Yin again, many things changed again and again.

Now she was certain that she was leaving the capital and would never see Xiao Yin again.

Only then did she inform Zhang Mama.

Granny Zhang was already waiting for him at the back gate of the Pei family's residence.

Once she received the token, she had no further attachment to the capital.

With this in mind, Shen Yinshuang quickened her pace.

But she was still coughing as she walked.

It's like this cold that just won't go away.

Xiao Yin saw Shen Yingshuang come out with the medicine and then wanted to go forward.

But he saw Shen Yinshuang walking towards another alley.

The exit of this alley leads to the Pei family's residence.

Xiao Yin realized this, and his eyes instantly darkened.

He followed them without making a sound.

He was curious to see just how far Shen Yinshuang was capable of.

But Shen Yinshuang was completely unaware of the whole thing.

She kept her head down and walked very quickly.

When they reached the back gate of the Pei family's residence, Granny Zhang was already waiting.

"Madam, these are the things you entrusted to this servant." Zhang Mama looked at Shen Yingshuang, feeling a mix of emotions.

There has been no news of Shen Yinshuang for the past two years.

She thought Shen Yinshuang was gone.

Now she saw Shen Yinshuang standing in front of her, still perfectly fine, though she looked very weak.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Take your things and leave quickly, lest the Marquis see you," Zhang Mama urged Shen Yinshuang.

"Thank you for your trouble, Granny." Shen Yinshuang nodded.

She didn't hesitate, nor did she exchange many pleasantries.

Because I didn't want to cause Zhang Mama any unnecessary trouble.

She turned around discreetly and went back the way she came.

As a result, the moment Shen Yinshuang turned around, she saw Xiao Yin.

She was stunned.

She knew from Xiao Yin's eyes that he had misunderstood her.

But the facts are there, and she seems to have no room for explanation.

Xiao Yin, with a stern face, grabbed Shen Yinshuang's wrist.

Without looking back, he walked out of the alley.

He was very fast, and being tall and strong, he also had long strides.

Shen Yinshuang couldn't keep up.

He staggered.

"General..." she called out to Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin showed no sign of stopping.

Shen Yinshuang was drenched in cold sweat.

Because of that stumble, she twisted her ankle.

The excruciating pain almost made her scream.

In addition to being seriously ill, she was also pregnant.

Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer: "It hurts so much."

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yinshuang collapsed to the ground.

Xiao Yin didn't let go, and she was dragged a few steps.

When Xiao Yin came to his senses, he looked at Shen Yingshuang with icy eyes: "Shen Yingshuang, are you putting on an act again?"

Shen Yinshuang was in so much pain that she couldn't explain herself.

Xiao Yin looked down at him from his high vantage point.

The long dress covered her ankles.

There was no sign of anything unusual inside.

Xiao Yin's mind was preoccupied with Shen Yinshuang's secret visit to the Pei family.

There was also the image of her and Pei Shou'an entangled in the flower bushes, their clothes disheveled.

Such anger seemed impossible to suppress.

"You don't want to leave? Are you thinking of going back to the Pei family?" Xiao Yin chuckled, looking down.

Shen Yinshuang shook her head, which was a denial.

But she was in so much pain that she couldn't make a sound.

Xiao Yin considered such a denial to be a lie.

"Shen Yinshuang, don't forget, Pei Shou'an divorced you. You are now my mistress."

If you do anything to betray me, I will definitely take your life.

Xiao Yin, his cheeks taut, finished speaking in a gloomy tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword was drawn, pointing directly at Shen Yingshuang's chest.

"I didn't." It took her a long time to recover from the pain before she finally denied it.

"No?" Xiao Yin sneered, clearly not believing him.

"If you didn't, why did you appear at the Pei family's residence?" His sword remained on Shen Yinshuang as he questioned her, each word distinct and clear.

"Because..." Suddenly, Shen Yinshuang couldn't speak.

What is she going to say?

Is she going to retrieve the keepsake Xiao Yin gave her back then?

Did she really expect them to continue their entanglement?

This keepsake is a jade pendant from the Xiao family, which Xiao Yin wore on his person for many years.

He gave it to himself.

He said that when he was not in the capital, this jade pendant would stay with you.

This was their token of love.

They will get married when he returns.

And then, that was the end of it for them.
