Xiao Yin accompanied the other person as they walked towards the courtyard.

Cui Lingyi's expression was somewhat gloomy, but she did not lose her temper.

"Help me out of the car," Cui Lingyi said calmly.

Having grown up in the elite circles of Beijing, she had naturally seen many people who kept mistresses.

Many men have these fetishes.

A delicate girl with large breasts and a plump bottom is probably from a poor family background.

They're either from brothels or bought from the market.

He found an excuse to leave her in the western suburbs; in reality, she was just a woman to warm his bed.

In short, the wildflowers always smell sweeter than the flowers in the garden.

Those pampered young ladies raised in seclusion wouldn't have so many tricks up their sleeves.

Cui Lingyi knew quite a bit about how favoring concubines over wives was a common occurrence.

But on the surface, Cui Lingyi remained calm.

Zhi Zi helped her down from the carriage: "Miss, please be careful."

Cui Lingyi hummed in agreement.

But her steps quickened involuntarily, and her hands clenched into fists inside her sleeves.

Gardenia whispered in her ear.

"Miss, if General Xiao really has a mistress, then he really doesn't respect you at all," Zhi Zi said bluntly.

After all, in Zhi Zi's opinion...

Cui Lingyi played a crucial role in the Xiao family's extrication from the case back then.

Now, aside from his own abilities, Xiao Yin's ability to firmly hold military power in the court is largely due to the Cui family.

Under these circumstances, Xiao Yin could not do anything to betray Cui Lingyi for the sake of his future.

Cui Lingyi did not respond.

As she approached Xiao Yin...

The woman in Xiao Yin's arms looked up, and Cui Lingyi saw it clearly.

Her eyes widened in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

She recognized the woman in Xiao Yin's arms.

Shen Yinshuang!

Several years ago, when Shen Yinshuang and Pei Shouan got married, it caused a sensation in the capital.

Her beauty was so captivating that even fish would sink and geese would fall from the sky, and the moon would hide its face and flowers would blush with shame.

That kind of beauty is not just stunning, but also gentle and timeless.

How proud Pei Shou'an was when he married Shen Yinshuang.

When Shen Yinshuang was divorced later, it caused quite a stir.

After that, no one knew Shen Yinshuang's whereabouts.

People in the capital say she is dead.

After a while, no one talked about Shen Yinshuang anymore.

Therefore, Cui Lingyi never expected this situation.

Was Shen Yinshuang Xiao Yinyang's mistress?

From Cui Lingyi's position, she could clearly see Shen Yinshuang swaying her hips and twisting her waist.

Unlike girls like her.

Shen Yinshuang's charm and allure are something that ordinary people simply cannot imitate.

It lacks the vulgarity of a brothel, yet possesses the poise of a wealthy young lady.

Every gesture she makes is captivating.

Cui Lingyi became increasingly agitated.

This was a woman's intuition; she didn't like Shen Yinshuang.

"Miss..." Zhi Zi was also stunned, "Isn't this the wife that Marquis Pei divorced two years ago? This..."

Cui Lingyi remained calm.

Because she noticed that Shen Yinshuang had also noticed her.

Clearly, Shen Yinshuang's expression changed drastically.

Her gaze was fixed on Shen Yinshuang.

Unlike the previous probing, this time it was increasingly sharp.

Xiao Yin frowned: "What are you up to now?"

This is a question.

Shen Yinshuang couldn't answer, and her expression changed repeatedly.

Xiao Yin immediately looked in the direction of her gaze.

Compared to Shen Yinshuang's agitation, Xiao Yin was much more composed.

Shen Yinshuang glanced at Xiao Yin out of the corner of her eye.

She could feel Xiao Yin tighten his grip on her hand.

She was slightly taken aback.

Many years ago, when they were still together.

When faced with a problem, Xiao Yin always remained calm, and he would comfort her in the same way.

Even now, in front of Cui Lingyi...

It seems that Xiao Yin was the same.

Shen Yinshuang suddenly felt a strange mix of emotions.

She didn't answer.

More than anything, they were afraid of implicating Xiao Yin.

She tried to free her hands.

But before she could move her hand, Xiao Yin had already released himself.

Shen Yinshuang lowered her eyes and quieted down for a moment, then laughed self-deprecatingly.

Yes, she was just a mistress.

In front of Cui Lingyi, Xiao Yin naturally had to distance himself from her.

She even prepared for the worst.

Cui Lingyi discovered this, which was perfect, as she no longer needed to get entangled with Xiao Yin.

And so we part ways amicably.

With these thoughts in mind, Shen Yinshuang couldn't say whether she was calm or something else.

Xiao Yin had already calmly walked towards Cui Lingyi's direction.

"Lingyi, what brings you here?" he asked calmly, without any sign of panic.

That's too open and honest.

Cui Lingyi was certainly no ordinary person.

Her beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Yin: "Brother Yin, why are you here?"

As she spoke, her voice conveyed disdain for the western suburbs, but more than that, it was a test.

"This western suburb is inhabited by mistresses or brothels. Brother Yin, it's not appropriate for you to be here in your current capacity," Cui Lingyi was reminding Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin chuckled softly.

Shen Yinshuang's heart raced at these words.

Her red lips moved, but she didn't say a word.

What right does she have to speak here?

But out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin remained calm.

The jawline is clearly visible in profile, exuding the authority of someone in a superior position.

It seemed that after Cui Lingyi appeared, his attention was only focused on her.

"This lady is Pei Shou'an's former legal wife," Xiao Yin explained calmly to Cui Lingyi.

"I know," Cui Lingyi replied.

She naturally leaned against Xiao Yin as he walked in.

Affectionate yet coquettish.

Xiao Yin placed his hand on Cui Lingyi's waist, a faint smile in his eyes.

It's a form of relaxation.

Shen Yinshuang saw it.

Xiao Yin used to look at himself like that.

But later, she never saw such relaxation in Xiao Yin's eyes again.

There was a chasm between them that they could never cross.

She's the one in the wrong.

She lowered her head, hiding her sore eyes to avoid being noticed by Xiao Yin.

But Xiao Yin didn't let her leave, and Shen Yinshuang didn't dare to go either.

She heard Xiao Yin's gentle voice, which was coaxing Cui Lingyi.

"Now that you know, do you know that Shen Yingshuang's mother, Liu Rushi, is the daughter of the First Embroidery Workshop in Nanjian?" Xiao Yin continued to ask.

Cui Lingyi was stunned, genuinely surprised: "The Liu family of Jiangnan?"

"Yes. It's just that the Liu family's fortunes declined, so the plaque gradually disappeared." Xiao Yin explained calmly.

Cui Lingyi was taken away by Xiao Yin.

She didn't know why Xiao Yin brought this up.

Even Shen Yinshuang, who was standing to the side, was still in a daze.

After all, when her mother married into the Shen family, the Liu family had already fallen on hard times.

Outsiders know almost nothing about this.

She once embroidered a purse for Xiao Yin, and Xiao Yin praised the needlework as exquisite.

Shen Yinshuang then brought up the matter of her mother, Liu Rushi.

Why is Xiao Yin bringing this up now?

Before she could even come to her senses...

Xiao Yin continued speaking slowly with Cui Lingyi.

"The Emperor and Empress Dowager previously found the best embroiderers in the palace to embroider your wedding dress, but you didn't like it. That's why I thought that having Shen Yingshuang embroider your wedding dress would probably be more to your liking," Xiao Yin said calmly.
