Shen Yinshuang seemed completely unconcerned.

The hairpin cut her skin.

Fresh blood had already seeped out.

Xiao Yin's expression grew increasingly grim, and his voice deepened: "Shen Yingshuang, that's enough."

Shen Yinshuang showed no sign of backing down: "Xiao Yin, please, let me go!"

Xiao Yin walked step by step toward Shen Yingshuang.

Every time Xiao Yin takes a step forward, the hairpin in Shen Yinshuang's hand will go deeper.

The blood started seeping in, and gradually increased.

Shen Yinshuang's hairpin and her hands were stained red.

"You'd rather die than stay by my side, is that it?" Xiao Yin questioned Shen Yinshuang, his jaw clenched, each word distinct.

"Yes," Shen Yinshuang replied resolutely.

Xiao Yin clenched his fists even tighter.

Because of the excessive force, you could see the veins bulging on the back of Xiao Yin's hand.

It is an extremely repressed emotion.

Shen Yinshuang was driven to a dead end.

Xiao Yin was no different.

His eyes were now just a deep crimson.

"Shen Yinshuang, if I let go, I will not care about anything that happens to you in the future."

"Even if something happens to you at Kaiyuan Temple, I won't care."

"Even if you begged me back then, I couldn't give you any more chances."

Xiao Yin explained his words clearly, word by word.

The words carried a threat.

He thought that any smart person would know how to make the right choice.

But Shen Yinshuang insisted with terrifying certainty: "Okay."

He didn't even say anything extra.

It is a resolute decision.

Xiao Yin just stared at him intently.

For a moment, Shen Yinshuang really thought he would kill her.

"Fine, I'll grant your wish." Xiao Yin said, each word distinct. "Finish embroidering the wedding dress Lingyi requested. After the ceremony, get out of here! Get as far away as possible. Never let me see you again in this lifetime. Otherwise, Shen Yingshuang, I will make you regret ever being alive."

"Thank you for your kindness, General." Shen Yinshuang looked at him frankly.

She knelt down before Xiao Yin, her eyes showing no sign of backing down or regret.

"I will forever remember the General's mercy in sparing my life. I wish the General and Miss Cui a long and happy marriage and many children."

Even when talking about Xiao Yin and Cui Lingyi, Shen Yinshuang was very frank.

It seems like she has truly let go.

Xiao Yin stood there, his whole body tense.

If it weren't for Xiao Yin's immense willpower controlling him, he really would have killed Shen Yinshuang.

He looked at Shen Yinshuang with a deep gaze.

After a long while, Xiao Yin let out a cold laugh, turned around, and left without looking back.

Shen Yinshuang remained kneeling on the ground, quietly watching Xiao Yin leave, without moving.

The door to the side room was quickly closed again.

Xiao Yin's tall figure disappeared from the house, leaving only a faint sandalwood scent, proving that he had been there.

"Miss!" Cui Xi rushed in from outside after Xiao Yin left.

Shen Yinshuang had probably been kneeling for too long, and suddenly collapsed to the ground.

The pain in her kneecaps made it hard for her to breathe, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Cui Xi immediately helped Shen Ying Shuang up: "Let me apply medicine for you. How did you get yourself into this state? It's a good thing the General came to see you. As long as you go along with the General, nothing will happen..."

Shen Yinshuang grabbed Cuixi's arm and struggled to stand up.

She even stumbled a little as she stood up.

"Girl, why are you doing this to yourself?" Cui Xi sighed.

Instead, the voice chuckled and reassured Cuixi: "Isn't this a good thing? The general has agreed to let me go. I'll take you with me. From now on, nothing will concern us, and you won't need to stay here in fear every day."

Cui Xi couldn't refute him and continued to passively watch Shen Ying Shuang.

"Just this one month, hang in there." Shen Yinshuang's hand tightened.

Cui Xi could actually sense Shen Ying Shuang's extremely suppressed emotions through Shen Ying Shuang's strength.

She clearly liked Xiao Yin so much.

During her two years in the western suburbs, Cuixi saw everything clearly.

Shen Yinshuang remembered every single one of Xiao Yin's preferences.

Every time Xiao Yin came, Shen Yinshuang was the one who looked forward to it the most.

When she saw Xiao Yin, the smile on her face was genuine.

The affection and admiration she felt for Xiao Yin was undeniable.

Cui Xi had no idea what had happened between Shen Ying Shuang and Xiao Yin.

But suddenly now, she says she doesn't care, and she really doesn't care at all.

Cui Xi just felt sorry.

But there are many things she shouldn't ask too many questions about.

Finally, Cui Xi sighed silently, "Miss, let me treat your wound."

"Okay." Shen Yinshuang did not refuse.

Cui Xi didn't ask any further questions.

She deftly reapplied the medicine to Shen Yinshuang's wound and bandaged it up.

Then use a heater to warm up the bedding.

"Miss, the bedding is warm now, so you won't feel cold while you sleep, and your knees will feel better," Cui Xi said softly.

"Okay." Shen Yinshuang nodded.

After taking care of Shen Yinshuang, Cuixi left quietly.

The door to the side room was closed again.

Shen Yinshuang lay in the bedding, feeling less cold than before.

But she still couldn't sleep.

Tears streamed down my cheeks, a testament to my sorrow.

The room was eerily quiet.

Xiao Yin left the room, but he didn't actually go far.

He stood outside with his hands behind his back.

Cui Xi came out only after the oil lamp in Shen Yinshuang's room had completely gone out.

Xiao Yin then leaped away.

After Xiao Yin left, Cui Lingyi's charming figure emerged from the shadows.

She looked fiercely in Shen Yinshuang's direction, but didn't make much of a move.

The guards stood respectfully to the side.

"Have you arranged the things I asked you to do?" Cui Lingyi asked the guard in a cold voice.

"Don't worry, Miss, I've made all the arrangements perfectly," the guard replied quickly.

Cui Lingyi sneered, "Shen Yingshuang, do you really think that just because you're hiding here with Consort De, I can't do anything to you? When Brother Yin is in dire straits himself, how can he possibly save you?"

Her voice grew increasingly somber, tinged with a bloody stench.

"If I didn't want you to live, even the King of Hell wouldn't dare keep you alive until midnight." The malice in these words was obvious.

Then, Cui Lingyi turned and left without anyone noticing.

……

That night.

After Xiao Yin and Shen Yinshuang completely broke off their relationship, he truly never appeared in front of her again.

Shen Yinshuang got a respite from Consort De's side.

Consort De did not come to see Shen Yinshuang; she only sent Granny Zhuang to deliver a message.

"Miss Shen, this servant has come to deliver a message to Consort De. Consort De is very satisfied with this jacket. Now that the jacket has been repaired, Her Highness naturally has no reason to keep you here." Granny Zhuang smiled throughout. "After all, you were brought by Miss Cui. If Her Highness were to force you to stay, it might cause unnecessary trouble."

Shen Yinshuang understood what he meant.

It was a very polite invitation to leave.

Consort De wanted her to leave, since she was indeed not one of Consort De's people.

Shen Yinshuang knew even more clearly that this was probably Xiao Yin's intention.
