As expected, Xiao Yin's expression changed.

"Shen Yinshuang, you!" The veins on the back of his hand bulged.

If it weren't for his strong willpower, Xiao Yin really felt he would have killed Shen Yinshuang.

She was given chances time and time again, but Shen Yinshuang refused them every time.

Xiao Yin was waiting for Shen Yinshuang to back down, but in the end, he himself compromised step by step.

Shen Yinshuang remained calm in the face of Xiao Yin's fury.

But only she knew that her heart was trembling, aching so badly she could hardly breathe.

"This is not a place for a general. Please return to your quarters to avoid gossip." Shen Yinshuang became even quieter.

"Do you know what my departure means?" Xiao Yin asked.

"Die." Shen Yinshuang said frankly.

Then she smiled faintly: "Wouldn't it be better for everyone if I died?"

Pei Shou'an had no way to threaten her with Xiao Yin.

She was no longer a thorn in Cui Lingyi's side.

All are happy.

She's someone who should have died two years ago, but she's still alive and kicking, and she has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Her frankness only made Xiao Yin more and more agitated.

"Shen Yinshuang, I gave you a chance!" Xiao Yin said coldly.

Shen Yinshuang lowered her head and remained silent.

Xiao Yin suddenly pulled Shen Yinshuang up.

She staggered slightly but did not struggle.

The clothes, which were originally wet, are now a little dry.

But the chill caused her to cough softly.

Xiao Yin ignored her and dragged Shen Yingshuang directly to the window of the secret room.

Shen Yinshuang then discovered that this secret room also had a transparent window, but it was completely integrated with the outside environment and you couldn't tell it at all.

"Ah!" She almost screamed in the next instant.

Because the window was covered with a dense swarm of venomous snakes.

They curled up, spiraled, and twisted together, one by one.

The fear I had felt earlier surged up from the soles of my feet.

"If I leave, you'll be going out of here, and those poisonous snakes outside will be what you have to face. The Empress Dowager is punishing you for three days, and you won't even make it past midnight tonight." Xiao Yin spoke cruelly, word by word.

His gaze was fixed on Shen Yingshuang: "Shen Yingshuang, I'm giving you one last chance. Either stay by my side, or die."

Even Xiao Yin was wicked.

He stuck Shen Yinshuang to the window.

The venomous snakes can't get in.

But you always feel that snake's tongue is slithering in front of you.

It gently caresses your skin, inch by inch.

Xiao Yin's thin lips were almost touching Shen Yinshuang's ear, his hot breath escaping.

Every word was pronounced clearly.

Shen Yinshuang knew that Xiao Yin was doing it on purpose.

She's afraid of snakes.

She was strangled by a snake when she was a child.

I can't forget that memory to this day.

That cool yet boneless touch could suffocate Shen Yinshuang.

Now, Xiao Yin is about to push himself into this abyss again, little by little.

She had done everything in her power to leave Xiao Yin.

Why would this person treat me like this?

Overwhelmed by fear and repression, Shen Yinshuang suddenly erupted.

"Xiao Yin, I have tried everything to leave you and stay away from you. I live a humble and cautious life, so why do you still drag me into your world?"

"I betrayed you, yes, it was my fault. But we weren't married then, I had the right to choose, was that wrong too?"

"Since you hate me so much, why are you still bothering me? Since you promised to let me go, why are you forcing me to make choices step by step?"

Shen Yinshuang roared at Xiao Yin like a madwoman.

It was as if all the grievances that had been bottled up inside were suddenly bursting out.

She stared intently at Xiao Yin.

Suddenly, he smashed the water glass that was in the secret room.

Xiao Yin had no time to react.

The broken tile struck Shen Yinshuang's artery.

"Xiao Yin, we're all going to die anyway. You'll watch me die with your own eyes. Will you let me go?" Shen Yinshuang asked calmly.

The tile had already cut the skin on his neck, and blood was beginning to seep out little by little.

Soon, Shen Yinshuang looked at Xiao Yin in astonishment.

Xiao Yin's hand had already grabbed Shen Yinshuang's tile.

Shen Yinshuang did not let up.

It was an unconscious act of resistance.

The tile pierced directly into Xiao Yin's palm.

It pierced Xiao Yin's palm hard.

But Xiao Yin didn't speak; he just looked at Shen Yinshuang.

His eyes were sore and swollen, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Fresh blood kept flowing out.

Shen Yinshuang's expression changed.

"Xiao Yin, you..." She was furious.

The anger that Xiao Yin had previously provoked vanished instantly.

Without thinking, she tore off her clothes.

It was to bandage Xiao Yin's wounds.

"Aren't you going to break ties with me?" Xiao Yin asked, looking down.

Shen Yinshuang was instantly put on the defensive.

Her movements suddenly stopped.

"Yinshuang," he suddenly called out Shen Yinshuang's name, "Stay by my side."

His tone was very serious, without a trace of joking.

Just like the promise Xiao Yin once made to Shen Yinshuang, asking her to wait for his return.

This is Xiao Yin—resolute and earnest.

Shen Yinshuang bit her lip to avoid actually blurting out that she agreed.

"Listen to me, stay by my side. You have nowhere to go now, don't you?" Xiao Yin coaxed. "Even if you wanted to leave, now wouldn't be the time. Even if you wanted to go back to Pei Shou'an, do you think Princess Chengping would let you off the hook until this matter is over?"

These words left Shen Yinshuang speechless.

She looked at Xiao Yin passively.

"I will not go back on my promise to you. I will definitely let you go in a month." Xiao Yin's voice grew deeper and deeper.

But in the quiet, secluded room, it became increasingly clear.

His uninjured hand pinched Shen Yinshuang's chin.

With his other hand, he slipped through her slender fingers and clenched his fists tightly.

Shen Yinshuang did not resist.

They were afraid of hurting Xiao Yin's injured hand.

"But for the next month, stay obediently by my side and don't hold grudges. Hmm?" Xiao Yin finished speaking.

Shen Yinshuang listened quietly.

It's impossible not to be tempted.

This is a scene that Shen Yinshuang had dreamed of many times.

They were able to lean on each other like this when Xiao Yin returned in triumph.

But all of this was already a luxury for Shen Yinshuang.

Even during the two years he spent in the small courtyard in the western suburbs, Xiao Yin never stayed overnight there.

To Xiao Yin, she was nothing more than a plaything in his bed.

Pointless.

She lowered her eyes and became even quieter.

She wondered if she could get what she had always longed for before she completely parted ways with Xiao Yin.

She involuntarily looked up at Xiao Yin.

"Even if I agree to your request, how can we be together?" Shen Yinshuang calmly asked Xiao Yin.

This is the temporary palace below Kaiyuan Temple.

People from the palace were everywhere.

She was an embroiderer brought by Cui Lingyi, and a thorn in Princess Chengping's side.

Any slight movement from her could trigger a murderous intent.

How could he possibly stay peacefully by Xiao Yin's side?

But strangely enough, Shen Yinshuang never mentioned these people in a single word.

She knew that Xiao Yin understood what she meant.

"I'll take care of these things; you don't need to worry about them," Xiao Yin said directly.

He then gave Shen Yingshuang no more time to think and said in a deep voice, "Yingshuang, give me an answer."
