Chapter 60 Certain Death

Cui Lingyi listened with a smile, and was very easy to talk to.

"Okay. If that's the case, then it means Brother Yin must be inside. If he's there, he won't go out. I'll go in and find Brother Yin." Cui Lingyi finished speaking with a smile.

Then she walked into the house.

Xiao Yin was inside, and Shen Yingshuang lived here.

What a coincidence!

Cui Lingyi remained outwardly calm, but her attitude was unusually assertive.

Upon seeing this, He Jiu immediately stopped Cui Lingyi.

"Miss Cui, you can't go in." He Jiu reacted quickly.

Cui Lingyi looked at He Jiu innocently, but her eyes held a firm tone: "Give me a reason."

But she didn't give He Jiu a chance to speak, and her voice came again.

"Besides, the embroiderer Shen Yingshuang that Brother Yin found for me lives here. I originally came here to see if Miss Shen was doing well and if she had been wronged. Now that you say that, I'm even more determined to go in." Cui Lingyi's gentle words carried a hint of assertiveness.

"After all, the wedding attire for my wedding with Brother Yin is in Miss Shen's hands, and I don't want anything to go wrong." Cui Lingyi finished speaking, word by word. "He Jiu, don't you agree?"

He Jiu lowered his head: "Yes, but inside..."

"Get out of the way!" Cui Lingyi's voice had turned cold.

Seeing this, He Jiu knew he couldn't stop Cui Lingyi.

After all, Cui Lingyi's status is what it is.

He glanced in the direction of the hut out of the corner of his eye.

There was no sound.

Cui Lingyi pushed He Jiu away and quickly walked towards the hut.

At that time—

Shen Yinshuang knew that Cui Lingyi had suspicions.

Looking at her and Xiao Yin's position, she disregarded her current discomfort.

Shen Yinshuang struggled to get up and forcefully pushed Xiao Yin away.

But her strength was no match for Xiao Yin's.

With a swift movement, Xiao Yin grabbed Shen Yinshuang's hand.

Shen Yinshuang's expression changed, showing some fear, because the footsteps outside were getting closer and closer.

"Shen Yingshuang, answer me!" Xiao Yin persisted, demanding an answer. "Are you worried about me, or do you not want to be implicated?"

Xiao Yin even confronted Shen Yinshuang with the question.

Shen Yinshuang's breathing became increasingly rapid.

But she still looked at Xiao Yin calmly.

Even the original answer hasn't changed.

"General Xiao, I really don't want you to be implicated," she said.

Upon hearing Shen Yinshuang's words, the sharpness in Xiao Yin's eyes gradually softened.

It's a kind of comfort.

But this comfort was short-lived, as Shen Yinshuang provoked her once again.

"Because all I want is to finish embroidering the wedding dress safely and leave the capital. This is what the General promised me. If Miss Cui finds out about my entanglement with the General, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the capital," Shen Yinshuang said, word by word.

She looked at Xiao Yin calmly and said, "General, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."

Xiao Yin scoffed, questioning, "Shen Yingshuang, are you really that hung up on Pei Shou'an?"

Shen Yinshuang did not answer; the silence was terrifying.

She was even prepared to give up entirely under these circumstances.

If Cui Lingyi really rushed in, she would pull this person into her arms.

She will ensure Xiao Yin leaves safely.

It's mostly about owing, mostly about feeling guilty.

That's all she can do.

If this way, they can be even, she would be willing to accept it.

Meanwhile, the sounds of arguing outside the cabin grew increasingly louder.

"Miss Cui..." He Jiu stopped Cui Lingyi once again when she reached the entrance of the small house.

"I said move aside. If there's nothing wrong inside, why won't you let me in?" Cui Lingyi questioned He Jiu. "I want to see what Brother Yin is doing in there. After all, Shen Yingshuang's status is what it is, and I'm still a little worried!"

Every word and sentence still makes sense.

Then, Cui Lingyi pushed He Jiu away.

He Jiu frowned, no longer daring to stop him.

After all, Cui Lingyi's status is undeniable.

He immediately followed him inside.

Shen Yinshuang heard Cui Lingyi's footsteps getting closer and closer.

The cabin is just a small space.

It will be seen very easily.

She prepared herself to die.

But at that moment, Shen Yinshuang looked at Xiao Yin in astonishment.

Xiao Yin had already swept her up in his arms.

She instinctively hooked her arms around Xiao Yin's neck.

This is an instinctive reaction.

Then, Xiao Yin jumped out of the window on the other side with Shen Yinshuang.

To hide silently.

Shen Yinshuang's heart was racing the whole time.

They probably didn't expect Xiao Yin to do this.

She watched Xiao Yin passively, wanting to ask him questions several times, but afraid of being discovered.

In the end, Shen Yinshuang didn't ask the question that was on the tip of her tongue.

Xiao Yin seemed to ignore Shen Yinshuang, and simply placed her on the ground indifferently.

"Don't make a sound." Xiao Yin's voice was terrifyingly deep.

Shen Yinshuang remained silent.

She said it was impossible not to panic.

Cui Lingyi's voice came from the small house; it was a scream.

Xiao Yin subconsciously started to walk towards the hut.

Shen Yinshuang knew she shouldn't stop them.

But for some reason, she couldn't control herself and grabbed Xiao Yin's sleeve.

Xiao Yin looked down at Shen Yinshuang.

Shen Yinshuang bit her lip, but couldn't utter a single word.

Now that Xiao Yin has gone in, she knows that Cui Lingyi will definitely question him.

If we dig to the bottom of things, it won't benefit anyone.

Ironically, when Shen Yingshuang pulled Xiao Yin back, he actually stopped.

It seemed as if they were patiently waiting for Shen Yinshuang's reply.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

All he could hear were Cui Lingyi's screams and He Jiu's hurried explanations.

"Let go." After a long while, Xiao Yin spoke in a deep voice.

Shen Yinshuang bit her lip, as if considering her options. After a long pause, Shen Yinshuang's slender hand loosened its grip.

The moment Shen Yinshuang let go of her hand.

Xiao Yin's expression was neither good nor bad.

He heard Shen Yingshuang's voice, which was very low: "General, you now..."

"Shen Yinshuang, think carefully before you say anything to me," Xiao Yin interrupted her directly.

It's probably because they don't want to hear any more angry words.

He was afraid he would really lose control.

Shen Yinshuang sighed.

Surprisingly, they didn't bother us at this time.

"You can't go in. Miss Cui will definitely question you. She knows I live here, and I wasn't there. There's a corpse inside, so it'll be hard to explain." Shen Yinshuang finished speaking, word by word.

She didn't provoke Xiao Yin further, nor did she continue saying things she didn't want to hear.

We're just stating the facts.

"Do you think she doesn't know about you and me?" Xiao Yin asked calmly.

Shen Yinshuang remained silent.

Of course she knew, but no one dared to say it out loud.

"Even if Miss Cui knows, showing disrespect openly and engaging in dirty dealings in private are two different things," Shen Yinshuang calmly finished speaking.

Xiao Yin just watched without saying a word.

Shen Yinshuang didn't know how much of what he heard.

But her stomach was still cramping.

Moreover, because of their thin clothing, they were in a bleak autumn wind.

She couldn't help but curl up.

It's cold, so cold I'm shivering.

She even started coughing softly, but dared not let out any sound.

Her slender hands pressed tightly against her lips, and her voice was very soft.

Suddenly, a heavy cloak, carrying the familiar scent of sandalwood, fell upon Shen Yinshuang.

That was Xiao Yin's cloak.
