The guards immediately stepped forward.

Cui Xi looked on in horror.

Shen Yinshuang was taken aback.

"He's just a lackey, yet he knew but didn't report it. If it weren't for today's accident, who knows what trouble he might have caused!" Xiao Yin said bluntly.

The guard stepped forward and slapped Cuixi hard several times.

Cui Xi was thrown to the ground on the spot, blood bubbles coming out of her mouth.

"No..." Shen Yinshuang rushed forward to protect Cuixi, "Cuixi, Cuixi..."

She was anxious to check on Cuixi's condition.

Blood was constantly seeping from Cui Xi's mouth, which showed how strong the force was.

Shen Yinshuang immediately turned to look at Xiao Yin.

She knelt down and crawled on her hands and knees toward Xiao Yin.

"Please spare Cuixi, it was my fault." Shen Yingshuang bowed her head and begged for forgiveness.

She knew that what Xiao Yin wanted was for her to bow her head, admit her mistakes, and apologize.

Instead of his previous arrogant demeanor.

From the moment she became Xiao Yin's mistress, she had no choice.

She shouldn't have any extra thoughts.

She knelt before Xiao Yin, looking up at him as if begging.

"Heh..." Xiao Yin sneered, "So you're admitting you had an affair with Pei Shou'an and cuckolded me?"

Shen Yinshuang shook her head.

She adopted an extremely humble posture, saying each word clearly: "General, I would never dare."

Shen Yinshuang gave in.

Xiao Yin wanted to feel comfortable.

But as she knelt sadly before him, he felt a tightness in his chest.

It's as if I've blocked all the roads myself.

In the end, all that remained in Xiao Yin's eyes was frustration.

"Shut up!" he snapped coldly.

Shen Yinshuang fell completely silent.

Even inside the courtyard, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

She stared intently at Xiao Yin.

Then the light in her eyes faded more and more.

Xiao Yin didn't even bother to spare a glance for Shen Yinshuang.

She hadn't expected that Butler Wang would be eavesdropping outside.

Even more unexpectedly, he would tell Xiao Yin.

She even kept it a secret from Cuixi.

She calmly instructed Cuixi to bring back the abortion pills.

She won't drink it after it's cooked.

She made preparations to make Cuixi feel like she no longer had a child.

That way, if something unexpected happens in the future, it won't involve Cuixi.

But now, everything is in chaos.

Shen Yinshuang's reaction was instinctive.

Her slender body knelt there, crawling towards Xiao Yin's direction.

She kowtowed repeatedly, pleading, "General, please let me keep this child."

Her head hit the ground, and blood quickly seeped out.

But she didn't stop.

None of the servants around dared to speak; everyone kept their heads down.

Only Cui Xi, disregarding her own safety, struggled to crawl to Xiao Yin's side.

"General, the young lady is frail, please spare her," Cui Xi pleaded with Xiao Yin, kneeling as she did so.

Xiao Yin, with a cold face, kicked Cui Xi away.

Cui Xi bumped her head on the corner of the table, breaking her head open and bleeding profusely.

"Cuixi!" Shen Yinshuang exclaimed.

She looked anxiously at Cuixi.

Xiao Yin coldly observed everything before him, his fists clenching tighter and tighter.

Butler Wang had already prepared the abortion medicine and sent it over.

"Drink the medicine." Xiao Yin looked at Shen Yinshuang and cruelly ordered.

Butler Wang stepped forward and handed the dark medicine to Shen Yinshuang.

"Miss Shen, you'd better cooperate and drink the medicine." Butler Wang said contemptuously, "I've been in the western suburbs for so long, and I've never heard of a mistress giving birth to a master's child."

Shen Yinshuang didn't answer; her gaze remained fixed on Xiao Yin.

"Since the general doesn't want the child in my womb, why didn't anyone send contraceptive medicine to the western suburbs last time?" she asked Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin did not answer immediately.

But he knew more or less about Shen Yinshuang's affairs.

He naturally knew that she had fallen seriously ill after marriage, which had damaged her health and made her unable to have children.

Since contraceptive decoction has been known for its cooling properties, it will only worsen the condition.

That's why he didn't have his servants bring him the contraceptive soup again.

Ultimately, I can't let go.

But unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, Shen Yinshuang became pregnant.

But this child cannot be kept.

Xiao Yin lowered his gaze, concealing his thoughts.

Looking at Shen Yingshuang again, he spoke cruelly and directly: "Shen Yingshuang, you, a mistress, dare to have such extravagant hopes? Ha—"

Xiao Yin's words left Shen Yinshuang with no more hope.

For the past two years, she had hoped that one day she could tell Xiao Yin about her grievances.

In Xiao Yin's occasional gentleness and indulgence.

She also had thoughts she shouldn't have had.

All of this has made her realize that she and Xiao Yin can never be together again.

These beliefs sustained her for the two years she returned to Xiao Yin's side.

Now, that belief has completely collapsed.

Her eyes were misty.

This time, she did not refuse and took the medicine from Butler Wang.

"As for the contraceptive soup, if this servant forgot, I will not keep such a servant. But your refusal to drink it in private means that you had premeditated this." Xiao Yin's words were all condemning Shen Yingshuang.

Shen Yinshuang looked at Xiao Yin indifferently.

The black medicine was pungent and bitter.

She closed her eyes and drank it down, mouthful after mouthful.

Xiao Yin watched, expressionless.

As she swallowed the bitter taste, Shen Yinshuang's tears slid down her cheeks.

She didn't know it was angina.

Or was it that the suffering was so unbearable that she cried out?

But it doesn't matter anymore.

All of this is my own fault, and I have no one to blame but myself.

Continue drinking until the medicine in the bowl is completely finished.

"General, I've finished drinking." She smiled faintly at Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin didn't say a word and turned away indifferently.

"General, considering that I have been your mistress for the past two years and have behaved myself well, could you grant me a favor?" Shen Yinshuang called out to Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin frowned, but did not turn around.

She knew that this person was allowing her to continue speaking.

"Your marriage to Princess Anping is imminent, and I, as a mistress, cannot be brought into the open, which may cause trouble for the general. Therefore, I implore the general to grant me my freedom."

She spoke clearly, word by word.

"I will leave the capital and never mention anything related to the general again. From now on, we'll go our separate ways."

Every word spoken.

All of these were like sharp blades, stabbing deeply into Shen Yinshuang's heart.

But she was already unconscious.

These words caused the previously calm Xiao Yin to suddenly turn around.

His gaze turned cold as he looked at Shen Yinshuang.

"Shen Yinshuang, you know you're a mistress?" Xiao Yin's jaw tightened as he suppressed his anger and charged at Shen Yinshuang.

"What right does a mistress have to make demands of me? I can make you live or die as I please. And you think you can leave?"

His gaze grew colder and colder.

What makes Shen Yinshuang so special?

They come and go as they please?

Does she still think she's the arrogant eldest daughter of the Shen family from back then?

Then I thought about what happened between Shen Yinshuang and Pei Shouan today.

Xiao Yin's anger was uncontrollable.

"What, you're so eager to see Pei Shou'an today? You're delusional." He finished speaking coldly and ruthlessly.

"Without my permission, you'll die here, even if you have to! So what if I get married? Your wife is sensible; why would she care about a mistress?"

"Shen Yinshuang, you'd better not let me find out what you've been doing behind my back. Otherwise, I guarantee everyone around you will pay with their lives!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yin had already walked up to Shen Yinshuang.

His hand gripped her chin tightly.
