Shen Yinshuang sensitively sensed this anger.

"My menstrual cycle has become irregular, probably because of the miscarriage. I asked the doctor, and he said that's normal," Shen Yinshuang said quietly.

As Xiao Yin listened, he thought of the time when Shen Yinshuang went to see a doctor.

So that's the reason?

Why the secrecy?

But considering Shen Yinshuang's treatment in the western suburbs, it's true that she had to do everything herself.

"I don't want to know these things." With his thoughts settled, Xiao Yin spoke cruelly.

Shen Yinshuang was taken aback and then fell silent.

Also.

Why would Xiao Yin need to know these trivial matters about himself?

She was nothing more than a mistress.

Shen Yinshuang didn't speak again and stood quietly in place.

Xiao Yin stared intently at Shen Yinshuang, his gaze direct and intense.

"Don't think you can slack off just because you're on your period. I'm only giving you one month to embroider the wedding dress." Xiao Yin was ordering Shen Yinshuang.

The sudden change of topic caused Shen Yinshuang's expression to change.

Her hands were clenched into fists.

The misty eyes conveyed a sense of grievance and resentment.

Xiao Yin ignored him and continued speaking cruelly.

He mentioned all the details that Cui Lingyi liked, leaving no stone unturned.

Just like back then, Xiao Yin knew Shen Yinshuang's preferences.

It's just that the person in charge has changed now.

Shen Yinshuang looked at him quietly after Xiao Yin finished speaking.

"Did the general do this on purpose?" she suddenly asked. "You knew perfectly well that this was a unique item from the Liu family, you knew perfectly well..."

But before Shen Yinshuang could finish speaking, Xiao Yin interrupted her.

"Shen Yinshuang, so what if this is a unique piece from the Liu family? Don't forget, I bought it back then. Now this snow-white silk belongs to me, and I naturally have the right to make my own decisions." Xiao Yin sneered.

He seemed to have seen through Shen Yinshuang's thoughts.

He stood looking down at her: "Shen Yingshuang, you don't naively think I'd keep this piece of snow-white silk to make a wedding dress for you, do you?"

One sentence made Shen Yinshuang's face turn deathly pale.

She instinctively took a step back.

Xiao Yin scoffed, "You're not worthy. A discarded woman, yet you dare to dream of becoming a general's wife? What a joke!"

It seemed he hadn't trampled on Shen Yinshuang enough.

The words and sentences became increasingly cruel.

"Shen Yinshuang, don't try to resist. You can't afford the price, huh?" Xiao Yin warned Shen Yinshuang.

Shen Yinshuang could neither laugh nor cry.

She could no longer even feel pain.

Indeed, the most painful thing for a person is to be executed by slow slicing.

She looked up again, then suddenly laughed, asking a very sad question.

"Alright. After I finish embroidering Princess Anping's wedding dress, can I leave here?" Shen Yingshuang looked at Xiao Yin.

Xiao clenched his fist in the palm of his wide sleeve.

"Let's go!" Shen Yinshuang still wanted to leave!

What gives her the right?

Xiao Yin sneered, "That depends on my mood."

Shen Yinshuang grew even quieter: "Aren't you afraid I'll go all out and tell Princess Anping about my relationship with you?"

It is also a threat.

Threatened when there is no other way out.

Although the Xiao family was exonerated, and Xiao Yin was the Grand General who protected the country.

However, the foundation of the Xiao family was ultimately destroyed, and it would not be a matter of a day or two to regain its footing.

The Cui family is Xiao Yin's greatest support.

Therefore, Xiao Yin would not cause herself any trouble, and it was even less likely that the people in the Prime Minister's mansion would know about her existence as a mistress.

As a result, Shen Yinshuang's threat was met with Xiao Yin's cold laugh.

She was once again under Xiao Yin's control.

"You're threatening me?" Xiao Yin sneered.

It's a joke about Shen Yinshuang's overestimation of her abilities.

"Shen Yinshuang, if word gets out, do you think Lingyi will believe me or you?" Xiao Yin asked directly, word by word.

"Don't forget, it has always been said that a man's philandering is not a crime. You are a discarded woman of the Pei family. Everyone will only think that you seduced me and clung to me, not that I kept you here as a mistress, do you understand?" Every word he spoke was cruel and merciless.

"Back then, it was you who was stuck, not me. Don't even think about going back to Jiangnan; you probably wouldn't even be able to leave the capital. The Cui family was wiped out, huh?"

Xiao Yin spoke without any politeness, staring intently at Shen Yinshuang.

Shen Yinshuang's face turned deathly pale; she was truly shocked.

"What? After three years in the Pei family, you still don't know how cruel this circle in the capital is? You, a mistress, dare to threaten me?" Xiao Yin finished speaking with a cold laugh.

He suddenly released his grip.

The excessive force caused Shen Yinshuang to stagger and fall to the ground.

"Shen Yingshuang, don't overestimate yourself." Xiao Yin hadn't taken Shen Yingshuang seriously from the beginning. "And don't try anything funny with me. Otherwise, you'll face the consequences."

Shen Yinshuang was scolded and couldn't answer a single question.

She seemed much more defeated.

After a long while, Shen Yinshuang finally looked up and quietly gazed at Xiao Yin.

"Do you have to humiliate me like this?" she asked quietly, her voice trembling with tears. "What will it take for you to let me go?"

"You want me to let you go?" Xiao Yin sneered. "Once you've finished making the wedding dress and Lingyi is satisfied, I'll be happy and perhaps in a better mood, and then I'll let you go."

But soon, he changed his tone: "However, before I let you off the hook, if you do anything behind my back, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Xiao Yin stared sharply at Shen Yinshuang.

It was forcing her to answer, "Did you understand?"

"Yes." After a long while, Shen Yinshuang finally responded sadly.

What's the difference between her being in a living hell and being on the verge of death?

She laughed bitterly to herself.

The stomach pain that had finally subsided is now starting to become noticeable again.

She dared not show it, and could only persevere, drenched in sweat.

Xiao Yin wasn't unaware of it, but he seemed to disregard it.

With a forceful movement, Shen Yinshuang was spun around by Xiao Yin and pressed down onto the bench.

"Someone, keep an eye on her. The wedding dress must be made within a month, or she won't be allowed to rest," Xiao Yin ordered the old woman outside.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Granny Qian replied respectfully as she entered.

Xiao Yin left the room without looking back.

The door to the side room was opened once again.

The cold wind blowing in from outside made me shiver.

Shen Yinshuang stared at the snow-white forging in front of her, her fingertips trembling.

Seeing this, Granny Qian couldn't help but offer a few words of advice.

"Miss Shen, you'd better listen to me and not resist the general, lest you end up pleasing no one." Granny Qian sighed as she spoke. "I've been in the western suburbs for so long, and I've never seen a mistress last long. People in this house come and go."

"..."

"Young ladies, you should take advantage of your youth and beauty to get as many benefits as possible, so you can have a way out for yourself. Otherwise, when you're old and your beauty has faded, you'll be left with nowhere to turn, and that would be truly tragic."

Granny Qian was genuinely advising Shen Yinshuang: "The general is supporting you now, but he might replace you if he gets unhappy. Don't make things difficult for yourself; listen to my advice."
