Shen Yinshuang was being dragged around and unable to move.

"Shen Yingshuang, so you've been hiding here all these years after I divorced you?"

"This western suburb has always been a place where high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital kept mistresses. What, you've become someone's mistress now?" He guessed instantly.

After all, men's inherent flaws are the same.

In the past two years, Shen Yinshuang has been well taken care of.

It makes one eager to try it.

This body once belonged to me.

He knew all too well how graceful and beautiful Shen Yinshuang was.

The more he thought about it, the less he could control himself.

He wanted Shen Yinshuang to beg for mercy beneath him.

Only in this way can one satisfy their vanity to the greatest extent.

With this thought in mind, Pei Shouan's hand had already gripped Shen Yinshuang's waist.

"No!" Shen Yinshuang had no strength to resist at all.

Because of illness.

Shen Yinshuang's voice sounded soft and weak.

It looks like she's playing hard to get.

Pei Shou'an scoffed, "You slut!"

With a single effort, he had her pinned down in the cosmos flower bushes.

"Nothing much. If someone takes you in as a mistress, they'll naturally send you out to warm other men's beds. While I still have some interest in you, please me, and who knows, maybe I can take you in in the future, hmm?"

Pei Shouan swore and cursed, his hands never idle.

During the pushing and shoving.

Shen Yinshuang's ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) slipped down, becoming loose and disheveled.

Pei Shou'an seemed to be deliberately intimidating Shen Yinshuang, almost throwing her away.

Because she was powerless, Shen Yinshuang was forced to hook her arms around his neck.

To outsiders, this appears to be a coy, ambivalent attitude.

She had been married to Pei Shou'an for three years; how could she not know his current reaction?

Shen Yinshuang was in despair.

She was powerless to resist.

At the critical moment, Pei Shouan suddenly stopped.

Shen Yinshuang came to her senses and took the opportunity to struggle free.

She saw an unexpected reaction in Pei Shou'an's eyes.

But it carried a provocative tone.

But then he saw a burning, sinister gaze fixed intently on him.

She subconsciously looked up, her expression suddenly changing.

Xiao Yin.

"Oh, isn't this General Xiao? What wind blew the general to the western suburbs?" Pei Shou'an said with a half-smile.

But his body remained pressed against Shen Yinshuang, showing no sign of letting go.

His hand swiftly tore off Shen Yinshuang's clothes.

Springtime light is just beginning to shine.

Shen Yinshuang awkwardly tugged at her clothes, looking at Pei Shouan with fear and pleading in her eyes.

Pei Shouan completely ignored him.

He turned around and pinned Shen Yinshuang down beneath him.

His every word was still provoking Xiao Yin.

"The Emperor's decree of marriage was issued today. General Xiao appeared in the western suburbs. Isn't he afraid that Princess Anping will feel wronged in front of Prime Minister Cui if she finds out? After all, the western suburbs are a place for keeping mistresses."

Pei Shouan's eyes gleamed with arrogance as he spoke without any restraint.

What if Xiao Yin returns in triumph? What if the Xiao family is exonerated?

The Xiao family is finished.

The glory days are gone forever.

Pei Shou'an was naturally not afraid.

But Xiao Yin remained calm in front of him.

The indifference in his eyes made it impossible to guess his emotions.

"Has Lord Pei managed to handle the trouble at home? On one hand, he's asking the Emperor for a marriage decree, wanting to marry the Princess of Jin, and on the other hand, he's caused a murder at a brothel. Aren't you afraid that your marriage to the Princess will fall through?"

Xiao Yin spoke without changing his expression.

But he never got close to Pei Shouan and Shen Yinshuang.

He didn't even spare a glance for Shen Yinshuang.

Hearing Xiao Yin's words, Shen Yinshuang felt a glimmer of hope rise in her heart.

But in his posture, such hope plummeted to rock bottom and vanished without a trace.

How could Xiao Yin possibly be standing up for himself?

Shen Yinshuang lowered her eyes, her expression filled with self-mockery.

Pei Shouan's expression changed, however.

Of course he's not stupid.

Even though Xiao Yin didn't mention Shen Yinshuang in his words, it seemed as if he was mocking himself.

But he was standing up for Shen Yinshuang.

Soon, Pei Shou'an sneered, "What? General Xiao has Princess Anping now, yet he still can't forget the abandoned woman from the Pei family? And now he's thinking of standing up for her?"

With that, Pei Shouan shook off Shen Yinshuang.

Shen Yinshuang fell heavily to the ground.

Xiao Yin saw it, and a fierce glint appeared in his lowered eyes.

But on the surface, he remained completely calm.

Pei Shouan walked up to Xiao Yin and became even more impolite.

"Is General Xiao feeling guilty?" Pei Shou'an became increasingly aggressive.

"Mind your own business, Lord Marquis." Xiao Yin said without changing his expression. "My affairs with Lingyi are none of your concern."

"You..." Pei Shouan was furious.

He vented his frustration with Xiao Yin on Shen Yingshuang.

"Shen Yingshuang, did you hear that? The person you're so devoted to doesn't have you in his heart, only Princess Anping. Yes, you're just a discarded woman, yet you still dream of becoming a general's wife? Wishful thinking."

Shen Yinshuang had heard this kind of talk countless times.

She had long since become numb.

But she felt ashamed when she said these things to Xiao Yin.

However, Xiao Yin just looked at him indifferently and did not deny it.

Shen Yinshuang lowered her head and didn't press it, becoming even quieter.

She didn't argue, because it was pointless.

But Shen Yinshuang didn't see that Xiao Yin's hand remained on the scabbard.

It was about to erupt, and it was aimed at Pei Shou'an.

Pei Shou'an did not linger in the battle.

Giving up and letting things fall apart won't do you any good.

He scoffed, "This worn-out shoe, it doesn't matter if I give it to General Xiao, anyway, I've long been tired of playing with it."

After saying that, Pei Shouan turned and left.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to kick Shen Yinshuang hard.

Shen Yingshuang cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground, her clothes torn and disheveled.

Her body was covered in bluish-purple marks.

It was left behind by Pei Shouan's rudeness.

Although nothing happened, it felt incredibly ambiguous.

Shen Yinshuang struggled for a moment, but couldn't stand up straight.

But her gaze remained calmly fixed on Xiao Yin.

After Pei Shou'an left, Xiao Yin walked up to Shen Yingshuang with a cold face.

He tightened his grip on the scabbard, suppressing his emotions.

This time, they came for Shen Yinshuang.

"Shen Yingshuang, how dare you! You're having an affair with Pei Shou'an behind my back!" Xiao Yin glared angrily at Shen Yingshuang.

Shen Yinshuang's face turned deathly pale.

"No, that's not how it is..." she tried to explain anxiously.

Xiao Yin had already stood up, looking down at Shen Yinshuang.

Shen Yinshuang couldn't hide the fear in her eyes.

In Xiao Yin's view, such fear was nothing but a guilty conscience.

Her fair skin was covered with bluish-purple marks.

This further fueled Xiao Yin's anger.

His large hand gripped Shen Yinshuang's neck in the next second.

Shen Yinshuang's eyes widened, and the pain of suffocation instantly overwhelmed her.

Shen Yinshuang was speechless and could only shake her head.

Xiao Yin just watched, and then watched Shen Yinshuang's pained expression.

The large hand suddenly released its grip.

Reason returned in an instant.

"Letting you die like this would be too easy for you," Xiao Yin said, enunciating each word clearly.

His gaze was fixed intently on Shen Yinshuang.

"Shen Yinshuang, you haven't given me a reasonable explanation. I guarantee you'll regret being alive."

After speaking, Xiao Yin walked into the courtyard without turning his head.
