Xiao Yin snapped out of his emotional turmoil and returned to calm.

He had lost control earlier.

"Cuixi, go out and find He Jiu," Xiao Yin calmly ordered Cuixi.

Cui Xi nodded quickly and then turned and ran outside.

Soon, Shen Yinshuang heard Cuixi vomiting.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Shen Yinshuang was held in Xiao Yin's arms. While the gesture wasn't particularly gentle, it prevented Shen Yinshuang from seeing the corpses on the ground.

He Jiu came in almost immediately after Cui Xi left.

Xiao Yin did not loosen his grip on Shen Yinshuang.

Shen Yinshuang is an unsettling person.

Because of the threat from the King Cobra, and also because of Xiao Yin's current demeanor.

He Jiu, however, kept his eyes down, never looking in the direction of Xiao Yin and Shen Yinshuang.

He Jiu's presence also put Shen Yinshuang in a passive position.

Without thinking, Shen Yinshuang began to struggle and pushed Xiao Yin away.

Xiao Yin's gaze darkened.

That unpleasant feeling suddenly and thoroughly engulfed Xiao Yin.

It's just like now that he's completely under Shen Yinshuang's control.

Shen Yinshuang can coax you.

But the next second they might not give you any face at all.

It's easy to create distance between each other.

Bland and distant.

"General, please let me go," Shen Yinshuang said softly, shifting slightly.

But the next moment, she felt the pain with ease.

The force was so strong that it almost made Shen Ying Shuang gasp for breath.

However, Xiao Yin, who was standing in front of her, seemed to be completely unaffected, watching Shen Yinshuang the whole time.

They have no intention of letting go.

Suddenly, the two became anxious, and the atmosphere became tense.

Shen Yinshuang was completely unable to move, her brows furrowed in pain.

On the contrary, He Jiu was very fast, and cleaned up the king cobra's corpse in no time.

After He Jiu left, Cui Xi put the lit sandalwood incense back in, dispelling the previous bloody smell.

It gradually calms people down.

Only Shen Yinshuang and Xiao Yin remained in the room.

"Shen Yinshuang, you really have a knack for demolishing houses after crossing the river, huh?" Xiao Yin sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.

Shen Yinshuang certainly knew what Xiao Yin was talking about.

She did not compromise and quietly replied, "Since the general already knows, why bother making a fuss?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yin released Shen Yinshuang's hand.

Then Xiao Yin got up and got out of bed.

Shen Yinshuang didn't stop her, looking at the empty bed, which remained eerily quiet.

After a moment, Xiao Yin's voice broke the silence: "Kaiyuan Temple doesn't have king cobras."

Shen Yinshuang hummed in agreement.

Kaiyuan Temple certainly wouldn't have it.

The climate and environment here are not suitable for the growth of king cobras.

In addition, the Empress Dowager would come to Kaiyuan Temple every year to chant sutras, and there was also a sacrificial ceremony held every three years.

Kaiyuan Temple also does not allow the presence of king cobras.

If something goes wrong, the consequences are predictable.

"There must be a reason for this," Xiao Yin continued calmly.

Shen Yinshuang looked at Xiao Yin quietly, without refuting him.

The silence was as if they knew everything.

Xiao Yin couldn't possibly be oblivious.

"Shen Yinshuang, do you know this is aimed at you?" Xiao Yin asked Shen Yinshuang with a cold face.

Shen Yinshuang remained silent.

But such an attitude implies tacit agreement.

From the post station to Kaiyuan Temple, I was always the one who got into trouble.

Even a fool could see that this was aimed at him.

How could someone as intelligent as Xiao Yin not know?

Xiao Yin was just waiting, waiting for Shen Yinshuang to soften her stance and try to please him.

If Shen Yinshuang yields, Xiao Yin can avoid this incident as much as possible.

But Shen Yinshuang was like a clam with its mouth tightly shut, refusing to speak no matter what.

Not to mention backing down.

Xiao Yin's expression darkened further.

"I know." Surprisingly, Shen Yinshuang took the initiative to speak.

Xiao Yin's expression softened slightly.

But outwardly, Xiao Yin maintained a tense expression: "Who is it? Pei Shou'an?"

Xiao Yin continued speaking, following Shen Yingshuang's words.

"Does it matter whether it is or not?" Shen Yinshuang asked Xiao Yin calmly.

"Shen Yinshuang, do you really not know anything at all? If I had arrived at the post station a moment later, these eunuchs would have tortured you to death. Tonight, if I hadn't returned, this king cobra would have killed you on the spot. Do you think you can be this lucky every time?" Xiao Yin questioned Shen Yinshuang.

Shen Yinshuang's red lips moved slightly.

However, Xiao Yin did not give Shen Yinshuang a chance to speak, which made him seem even more aggressive.

"Next time, you might be a corpse." Xiao Yin's words grew increasingly somber.

"So, General, are you concerned about my life or death?" Shen Yinshuang suddenly asked Xiao Yin quietly.

Xiao Yin was speechless, standing passively in place, just staring at Shen Ying Shuang without moving.

Shen Yinshuang chuckled softly.

"Shen Yinshuang, don't flatter yourself. If something happens to you, Lingyi's wedding dress can't be completed, and I won't be able to explain it to Lingyi!" Xiao Yin brought up Cui Lingyi.

Shen Yinshuang lowered her head, still smiling, but the smile was self-mocking.

Xiao Yin knew very well how to stab people.

Every word and phrase is attributed to Cui Lingyi.

He stabbed himself in the chest again and again.

Therefore, Shen Yinshuang remained silent.

Xiao Yin suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Yinshuang, looking down at her.

"The only person capable of being ruthless towards you is Pei Shou'an. So even so, you still harbor illusions about Pei Shou'an? You've been with him for three years, don't you know what kind of person he is? He knows our relationship, how could he let you off so easily?" In the end, Xiao Yin couldn't hold back and asked Shen Yinshuang in a deep voice.

Shen Yinshuang looked at Xiao Yin quietly.

That look made Xiao Yin uneasy.

Xiao Yin's mind grew increasingly tense.

Then he saw Shen Yinshuang smiling, a very faint smile, as if mocking him.

Xiao Yin's palms gradually clenched into fists.

This time, it was too late for him to stop Shen Yinshuang.

Her words were delivered in a nonchalant tone, showing no respect whatsoever to Xiao Yin.

"General, I have been married to Shou'an for three years, and I know his character very well. I don't know about your relationship with him. But when it comes to me, he doesn't need to hide anything. He wants to toy with me, to punish me, and he does it openly and honestly. Those eunuchs are connected to him, so he will be there to watch. He likes that kind of thrill. If he released this snake, he will watch it bite me to death, and I will cry and beg him to spare me. That will make him feel good."

Shen Yinshuang was actually speaking up for Pei Shouan.

Shen Yinshuang spoke these words coldly, but they were the truth.

After the Shen family fell into poverty, Pei Shou'an tormented Shen Yinshuang in almost this manner.

This is a memory etched into my very bones.

This terrified Shen Yinshuang.

That's why she could blurt it out.

But in Xiao Yin's eyes, these words were Shen Yinshuang's lingering feelings for Pei Shouan.

Xiao Yin sneered: "Shen Yingshuang, you'd be willing to be tortured to death by Pei Shou'an?"

"That's my fate, isn't it?" Shen Yinshuang was still smiling.
