Xiao Yin suppressed his uneasy premonition, worried about Shen Yinshuang.

He had just left the Hall of Mental Cultivation when he saw He Jiu hurriedly walking up to him.

"General, something has happened to Miss Shen." He Jiu said in a serious tone.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yin's hands clenched into fists instantly, becoming increasingly tense.

He Jiu didn't hide anything: "Doctor Song said that Miss Shen's baby couldn't be saved and has passed away. Miss Shen is currently unconscious and asked me to inform the general. Doctor Song also said that it was destined that the baby couldn't be saved, after all, the medicine Miss Shen was given was too strong."

Xiao Yin listened the whole time.

His pace quickened, and his fists clenched tightly.

That was out of concern for Shen Yinshuang.

This woman clearly betrayed him, and this child is clearly not his.

But upon hearing these words, Xiao Yin remained tense.

"How is she?" Xiao Yin asked He Jiu, his voice trembling with suppressed emotion, before finally uttering the question, word by word.

"Miss Shen is unconscious and bleeding heavily; her condition is not good," He Jiu said, bowing his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yin jumped onto his horse.

The horses' hooves clattered on the stone pavement as they galloped toward the Song residence.

He Jiu didn't dare to hesitate and immediately followed.

It wasn't until Xiao Yin rode his horse to the Song residence that this continued.

He quickly jumped off his horse and hurried towards the Song residence.

Song Jian was waiting for Xiao Yin.

When he saw Xiao Yin, he walked towards him.

"She just fell asleep. The bleeding has stopped, but she's too weak, and the remaining toxins in her body haven't completely cleared out, so her condition is quite bad. She'll need a long time to recover," Song Jian said truthfully, without hiding anything.

Shen Yinshuang's situation was worse than he had imagined.

Especially after the residual toxins gradually subsided, many problems were exposed one by one.

There are those from the past, and those from the present.

It even gave Song Jian the illusion that Shen Yinshuang might die at any moment.

But Song Jian didn't dare to be so blunt in front of Xiao Yin.

"Anything else?" Xiao Yin asked Song Jian, his eyes red-rimmed.

"She has too much coldness in her body. She has been well cared for these past two years, but all that effort has been wasted in this period. In addition, her kneecaps are more damaged than those of an elderly person. If it gets any worse, her legs will be useless, and she will probably be unable to walk." Song Jian gave a general description of Shen Yinshuang's condition.

Xiao Yin knew Shen Yinshuang was bad, but he never expected her to be this awful.

His eyes were still bloodshot.

But Xiao Yin remained defiant: "She brought this upon herself."

When Song Jian heard this, he sighed silently.

But when he looked at Xiao Yin again, his gaze became much more serious.

"Xiao Yin, you know perfectly well that you two are impossible, so why are you still keeping her around?" Song Jian asked directly.

"For the past two years, let's not even count the years with the mistress; at least things were peaceful. But what about now?" Song Jian's tone also became serious.

"You know very well that whether it's the Prime Minister's residence, this deep palace, or even the complexities of the General's mansion, they could all easily drive her to her death."

Song Jian shook his head, genuinely puzzled.

Xiao Yin stood there, motionless, without uttering a single word of rebuttal.

"We've known each other for many years, and I've known her for many years too. You liked her initially, probably because of her innocence and naivety; she seemed simple and pure."

"Back when she was still in the Shen family, you know very well that the Shen family protected her extremely well. Later, she married Pei Shou'an, and although it was a glamorous marriage, it ultimately couldn't keep her in the Pei family."

"At most, the Pei family's conflicts are among the women. At least Pei Shou'an's word is law in the Pei family. She only needs to deal with Pei Shou'an."

"But now that you've dragged her into this, she'll be facing the Cui family, which is far more complex than the Pei family, and that deep palace. After all, Cui Lingyi's identity is Princess Anping."

Song Jian spoke faster and faster, and his expression became increasingly serious.

"And Xiao Yin, you know better than anyone what you're doing, and you know the situation of the Xiao family. If you continue like this, she will still die in the end!"

"So why don't you give her a letter of divorce and let her leave?"

Song Jian countered with a question to Xiao Yin.

"Are you done talking?" Xiao Yin looked up and quietly looked at Song Jian.

Song Jian did not respond.

Xiao Yin didn't care: "Because she owes me. How could she leave so easily? Dream on."

Song Jian remained silent for a long time after hearing Xiao Yin's words.

His sigh became more pronounced: "Xiao Yin, I am an observer. In my opinion, she cares about you, not Pei Shou'an."

"Nonsense." Xiao Yin lowered his voice.

Then Xiao Yin quickly walked into the inner room without lingering.

Song Jian stood still, unusually quiet.

Shen Yinshuang and Xiao Yin clearly care about each other, yet they cause each other pain.

As an observer, he saw it all clearly.

But the one who tied the knot must untie it; he couldn't interfere.

In the end, Song Jian did not follow.

Xiao Yin's pace quickened, revealing a hurried and disheveled demeanor.

It was the embarrassment after Song Jian exposed him.

He had asked himself countless times why he wouldn't let Shen Yinshuang go.

He told himself that he was unwilling to accept it, that he wanted to humiliate Shen Yinshuang, and that he wanted to avenge her betrayal back then.

But Xiao Yin knew that wasn't the case.

He didn't even have the courage to think about it further.

He kept a cold expression, blocking out all chaotic thoughts to avoid being affected.

Xiao Yin stood in front of the inner room for a while, but did not go in immediately.

Instead, Cui Xi came out carrying a basin of water and greeted Xiao Yin when she saw him.

"This servant greets the General," Cui Xi said respectfully.

Xiao Yin hummed in agreement, but Cui Xi suddenly knelt down with a thud.

Xiao Yin frowned: "What are you doing?"

Cui Xi knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Yin, speaking clearly word by word.

"General, please let the young lady go. If this continues, she will be driven to her death sooner or later. I know what is being said about the young lady outside, but I know even more clearly that the young lady only has the general in her heart." Cui Xi was speaking up for Shen Ying Shuang.

She simply couldn't bear to watch Shen Yinshuang crumble little by little.

"There must be something going on between the young lady and Lord Pei. It's definitely not what you think, General. The young lady would never betray you."

Cui Xi continued, "Besides, the young lady isn't good at talking, so she's even less likely to bring up these things."

She looked at Xiao Yin and said, "I've watched you crumble day by day, and I know you've already given up. You have no intention of leaving this world alive. You even gave me your jewelry and ornaments so I could leave this courtyard."

Towards the end, Cui Xi became a little confused.

Xiao Yin's expression darkened upon hearing Cui Xi's words.

He grabbed Cuixi's hand directly: "What do you know? Tell me!"

Cui Xi shook her head: "This servant doesn't know anything, this servant can only sense it."

Xiao Yin probably knew that Cui Xi wasn't lying.

He suddenly released Cui Xi and then pushed open the door to walk into the inner room.

Cuixi didn't dare to go in anymore and stood quietly outside.
