Shen Yinshuang seemed to be startled.

She looked up at Xiao Yin with teary eyes.

She also felt wronged.

But she had nowhere else to go.

Her gaze was fixed on Xiao Yin, as if she wanted to deeply imprint him in her heart.

For Xiao Yin, this action was...

Yet it seems as if one's desires are unfulfilled.

"Ah!" Shen Yinshuang suddenly exclaimed.

Xiao Yin lifted her up directly.

A force that caught everyone off guard.

Shen Yinshuang was in pain, but she didn't beg for mercy or make a sound.

He has always been patient and restrained.

She was worried that the baby in her belly wouldn't be able to withstand the disturbance.

But she didn't say a word.

If that's the case, Xiao Yin might let me go.

She can endure it.

They could no longer afford any more accidents.

She has exhausted all avenues of opportunity.

Xiao Yin's pride would not allow him to keep a woman like her.

Therefore, they had no way back.

Thinking about it, Shen Yinshuang laughed sadly.

The more she did not resist, the deeper Xiao Yin's hatred for Shen Yinshuang grew.

The last vestiges of pity have vanished.

In the end, it's unclear who was unwilling to let the other go.

Even the last vestige of pity vanished from his eyes.

All that remains is cruelty.

He composed himself and walked back to Shen Yingshuang.

His well-defined knuckles gripped her chin tightly.

"Shen Yinshuang, finish embroidering the wedding dress and get out of here!" Xiao Yin roared at Shen Yinshuang.

He stared at Shen Yingshuang with a grim expression, warning her word by word: "Don't let me see you in the capital again, or I will absolutely not let you go!"

Shen Yinshuang knelt on one knee, neither struggling nor resisting.

Even her voice was calm, and she replied very softly, "Yes."

It wasn't respect, but a resolute determination.

Xiao Yin looked at Shen Yinshuang with bloodshot eyes.

If he used any more force, he would lose control and kill Shen Yinshuang.

Before he lost control, Xiao Yin suddenly released Shen Yinshuang and walked out of the courtyard.

A loud slam came from the door of the side room.

Cui Xi had been waiting outside, and when she saw Xiao Yin rush out, her face turned pale with fright.

"General, please calm down." Cui Xi hurriedly knelt down.

Xiao Yin disappeared as quickly as a gust of wind.

The courtyard was completely silent.

Cui Xi, still shaken, ran into the house.

Shen Yinshuang lay sprawled on the ground, her clothes disheveled, panting heavily.

The bruises on his body became increasingly noticeable.

But her expression remained calm.

A deathly stillness.

"Miss Shen," Cui Xi said anxiously as she stepped forward, "Are you alright?"

Cui Xi anxiously checked Shen Yinshuang's condition from head to toe.

Shen Yinshuang waved her hand: "I'm fine, help me up."

"Okay," Cui Xi replied.

As she spoke, Cui Xi helped Shen Ying Shuang up.

But after Cuixi helped her up, she quietly walked towards the wedding dress.

Soon, Shen Yinshuang lowered her head and resumed embroidering the wedding dress.

Completely unconcerned about his current disheveled state.

Cui Xi tried to stop her, but she couldn't.

In the end, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Miss, why are you like this? The general has come all this way, how can you..." Cui Xi didn't know what to say for a moment.

Shen Yinshuang had always longed for Xiao Yin's arrival.

She would carefully dress up and wait for Xiao Yin.

Although Xiao Yin was taciturn, he treated Shen Yinshuang fairly well.

At least they are not lacking in food, clothing, and daily necessities.

The fabrics delivered were all of the highest quality.

Occasionally there is also jewelry.

The only problem is that Xiao Yin never stays overnight in the western suburbs.

It seems that aside from treating Shen Yinshuang as a tool, he didn't care about her at all.

But if Xiao Yin leaves, Shen Yinshuang will feel lost.

Although she didn't show it, Cui Xi could easily sense it.

But now, no emotion could be seen in Cui Xi's eyes.

It seems like they've completely resigned themselves to their fate.

"It's alright." Shen Yinshuang paused slightly, speaking very calmly.

Seeing this, Cui Xi didn't know how to persuade her.

In the end, she stood there passively.

It wasn't until Shen Yinshuang broke the silence once again, looking up at Cuixi, that she said, "Cuixi."

"Miss, I'm here," Cui Xi replied.

Shen Yinshuang asked Cuixi to bring out the cloth bag she had in the wardrobe.

Cui Xi did as instructed.

Shen Yinshuang nodded and opened the cloth bag, inside which was the silver she had saved over the years.

It was a reward given by Xiao Yin.

She didn't spend it; she kept most of it.

There are also some pieces of jewelry.

By piecing things together, it was actually enough for Shen Yinshuang to leave the capital and return to Jiangnan, where she could live a decent life.

But now, Shen Yinshuang knows that she probably won't be able to leave.

She handed everything to Cuixi.

Cui Xi was genuinely terrified: "Miss, what are you trying to do?"

"Cuixi, leave the courtyard and go back to your hometown. Don't stay in the capital." Shen Yingshuang carefully instructed Cuixi.

Cui Xi didn't accept it, shaking her head in refusal: "Miss, I can't take this money. Wherever you are, I will be there."

"Don't follow me, it's not worth it. It'll only drag you down with me. If you take the money and leave, and something really happens to me, I'll still have a way out. So, listen to me." Shen Yinshuang's words were clear and unambiguous.

Cui Xi followed Shen Yinshuang for two years.

They probably knew Shen Yinshuang's temper.

A promise is a promise.

She stood there passively, holding the silver in her palm.

Her eyes were sore and red, and she wanted to cry but couldn't make a sound.

Shen Yinshuang didn't say much, and lowered her head to embroider her wedding dress.

Every stitch was like a piercing wound to his heart, drawing blood.

She knew that she and Xiao Yin had reached a dead end.

……

In the following days.

Xiao Yin didn't come, and Shen Yinshuang stayed indoors, embroidering wedding clothes in the courtyard every day.

The wedding attire is already taking shape.

Combined with the exquisite beauty of snow-white silk, it can amaze people at first glance.

The embroidery on it is absolutely exquisite.

But the unease that Shen Yinshuang suppressed in her heart remained.

She always felt that something was about to happen, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

And that day, Pei Shou'an left behind his threatening words, but never appeared again.

This made Shen Yinshuang even more uneasy.

But she didn't want to speculate.

They come, the security.

During this time, Shen Yinshuang went to the pharmacy to pick up her medicine.

But recently, so much has happened that she finds specks of blood on her underwear every time.

Occasionally, I experience sharp, throbbing pains.

She was afraid something bad would happen.

So she went to the doctor and got some medication to help maintain the pregnancy.

Cui Xi wanted to go with him, but Shen Yinshuang refused.

She wore a veil and went to the pharmacy alone.

……

The capital city was bustling with activity because it was the Ghost Festival, and lanterns and decorations were everywhere.

There were more people at the market than usual, and both men and women were wearing masks.

Compared to their usual reserved demeanor, their affection seemed even stronger.

After all, the Ghost Festival is also a festival for lovers to exchange tokens and express their feelings.

Shen Yinshuang felt a little envious.

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in the crowd, wearing a black and gold mask.

A pretty girl stood beside him, wearing the same mask, looking up at him.

Shen Yinshuang fell silent instantly.

Because she recognized her.

It was Xiao Yin and Cui Lingyi.
