Song Jian remained unmoved.

It was unclear whether Shen Yinshuang, who was lying on the bed, had woken up or not.

A tear slid down her cheek and rolled down her cheek.

Song Jian noticed: "Why bother? You left so decisively when Xiao Yin was in the most pain. Now, there's no turning back."

Shen Yinshuang did not respond.

But Song Jian knew she had heard him.

So he didn't say anything more and continued to give Shen Yinshuang acupuncture.

The inner room became quiet.

At that time—

Xiao Yin quickly sent Cui Lingyi back to the Prime Minister's residence.

"Brother Yin, aren't you coming in?" Cui Lingyi asked Xiao Yin with a smile.

"No, it's getting late, and I have to attend the morning court tomorrow. You should get some rest too," Xiao Yin said calmly.

Cui Lingyi nodded: "That's true, then be careful on your way back."

"Okay." Xiao Yin nodded.

Cui Lingyi stood there, and Xiao Yin did not linger. The carriage turned and left.

"Have someone follow him. I want to see where he went," Cui Lingyi said indifferently to the guard beside her.

"Yes, Miss." The guard replied.

Soon, the guards also disappeared into the night.

Cui Lingyi then turned and walked towards the Prime Minister's residence.

Xiao Yin's carriage returned to the Song residence.

But soon, Xiao Yin realized that someone was following him.

He lowered his eyes and ordered in a low voice, "Go to the General's Mansion first."

"Yes." He Jiu replied without hesitation.

The carriage sped towards the general's mansion.

Xiao Yin remained calm and composed throughout, and the guards from the Prime Minister's residence followed him all the way to the General's residence.

After confirming that Xiao Yin had not left, he walked through the night and returned to the Prime Minister's residence.

Xiao Yin then silently emerged from the shadows, scaling walls and rooftops, and discreetly returned to the Song residence.

……

Song House.

When Xiao Yin returned, Song Jian had already come out of the side room.

"Shen Yinshuang's poison has mostly dissipated. However, there will inevitably be some residual poison in her body. She needs some time to rest," Song Jian said succinctly.

Xiao Yin hummed in agreement, his gaze drifting towards the door to the inner room.

He stood there with his hands behind his back for a long time before speaking again: "Can you calculate how many months pregnant Shen Yingshuang is?"

"The calculations are inaccurate; I've tried it. So we have to wait until the toxins are completely metabolized before we can proceed," Song Jian said without hiding anything.

Xiao Yin remained silent for a moment, then walked towards the inner room without saying much.

"Xiao Yin," Song Jian called out to Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin paused, and Song Jian's calm voice came through: "Do you hope that the child in Shen Yingshuang's belly is yours?"

These words made Xiao Yin freeze, but he didn't say anything and just stood there passively.

"If so, what would you do?" Song Jian asked calmly.

"I won't stay." Xiao Yin said directly, his words filled with cruelty.

Because we can't keep them either.

If we leave, it will be a dead end once Shen Yinshuang gets pregnant.

It's not that he's unwilling to protect her.

Rather, it's simply impossible to protect them.

Xiao Yin was already standing in front of the door to the inner room.

Song Jian remained silent.

On the bed, Shen Yinshuang slowly woke up after recovering.

Xiao Yin's words fell clearly into her ears, each word carrying a resolute tone.

Shen Yinshuang thought back to the beginning, when Xiao Yin knew she was pregnant, he didn't hesitate for a moment.

Yes, how could he keep this child?

But Shen Yinshuang was not willing to accept this; this was her and Xiao Yin's child.

She placed her hand on her lower abdomen, feeling the presence of her child.

But deep down, she had a very uneasy premonition.

She always felt that her connection with this child had come to an end.

Her smile had a touch of sadness.

The door to the inner room was pushed open from the outside by Xiao Yin.

He saw Shen Yinshuang.

Shen Yinshuang sat on the bed, her face pale.

Almost the instant she saw Xiao Yin, she struggled to climb off the bed.

Because of her physical weakness, Shen Yinshuang could not walk steadily and staggered the whole way.

Xiao Yin saw it and took a few steps forward.

Shen Yinshuang had already fallen in front of Xiao Yin.

She looked up at Xiao Yin, tears streaming down her face, her eyes devoid of light.

Her slender hands gripped Xiao Yin's clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white.

But he didn't have much strength and quickly slid down.

Xiao Yin looked down at Shen Yinshuang with a cold expression throughout.

The gloom and anger in his eyes were impossible to hide.

"I beg you, let me keep this child..." Shen Yinshuang spoke up, still pleading with Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin leaned down and reached out to pinch Shen Yingshuang's chin.

Shen Yinshuang looked up at Xiao Yin with a hint of hope in her eyes.

"Please..." she struggled, speaking each word clearly.

Because her chin was being pinched, Shen Yinshuang's voice sounded muffled.

Xiao Yin asked coldly, "Is it Pei Shou'an's child?"

Shen Yinshuang was at a loss for words when Xiao Yin asked her a question.

She just stared blankly at it, completely dazed.

Xiao Yin didn't give Shen Yinshuang a chance to speak; he directly pulled her up.

During these actions, he was completely unaware of Shen Yinshuang's presence.

It's too light.

Over the past two years, Shen Yinshuang has become quite voluptuous.

But it seemed to collapse overnight in such a short period of time.

Fall short.

Xiao Yin loosened his grip on Shen Yinshuang's hand slightly, but his voice remained stern.

"Shen Yinshuang, do you know that getting pregnant in secret is a capital offense? What's more, you're my mistress. You've been having an affair with another man behind my back and you're pregnant. Who gave you the audacity!" Xiao Yin practically roared at the end.

Shen Yinshuang's pale lips moved slightly.

But before she could speak, Xiao Yin's gloomy voice continued: "Shen Yinshuang, this bastard must be aborted. I can't keep him alive. Fortunately, Song Jian is here; he can handle it cleanly and leave no future trouble."

Every single word seemed incredibly cruel.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yin shook off Shen Yinshuang.

Shen Yinshuang was caught off guard and fell to the ground, unable to get up at all.

Xiao Yin just watched, his fists clenched, suppressing the urge to support her.

How dare she!

How dare she betray me time and time again when she's my mistress?

Xiao Yin took a deep breath, his Adam's apple bobbing, and stood there gloomily, staring at Shen Yinshuang without moving.

Upon hearing Xiao Yin's words, Shen Yinshuang suddenly struggled to stand up.

Xiao Yin watched without showing any emotion.

Shen Yinshuang climbed back to Xiao Yin's side, her eyes brimming with tears.

"This child isn't Pei Shou'an's, it's yours!" Shen Yinshuang cried as she revealed the truth. "Please, Xiao Yin, please let him go, he's innocent."

These words caused Xiao Yin's pupils to constrict, but when he looked at Shen Yingshuang again, his expression turned to sneer.

His voice was icy cold.

A million thoughts have shifted countless times in an instant.

From an unexpected turn of events to a glimmer of hope, and now to cold indifference.
