As they were talking, Chen Song started to walk outside.
Seeing this, Qi Yun'er grabbed his hand and pulled him back.
"If you really want to go see Miss Lin, how can you do it without some money? Besides, you can't live without money, right?"
After hearing Qi Yun'er's reminder, Chen Song suddenly realized what was going on.
He immediately turned around and went to ask Yin Xue for money.
Qi Yun'er followed behind him, gave him some instructions, and then left satisfied.
Main courtyard.
After Qu Jiu explained the whole situation to Qu Jingyun, Qu Jingyun just smiled nonchalantly.
Seeing that she didn't seem to care at all, Qu Jiu looked puzzled.
"The Qi family dared to let their eldest son collude with the remnants of the previous dynasty, clearly intending to kill everyone in the General's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Qu Jingyun let out a disdainful sneer.
"She wants to frame the General's Mansion for treason, but we can also successfully turn the charge into a crime, can't we? Just keep an eye on things, and don't make a fuss."
"Yes." Qu Jiu replied and turned to leave.
After returning to the main courtyard, Shen Song ignored Yin Xue and started rummaging through the rooms.
Yin Xue stepped forward, looking at his behavior with puzzlement.
"Husband, what are you doing?"
After searching around without finding anything valuable, Shen Song immediately turned and reached out to Yin Xue.
"Where's the money?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Xue paused for a moment, then her eyes welled up with tears of grievance.
"Isn't there anything else we need to say to each other?"
Seeing her tears, Chen Song hesitated for a moment.
"I……"
"Young Master." A servant boy entered and whispered a reminder, "Young Master, please don't forget Miss Lin."
Chen Song's eyes lit up instantly.
His gaze turned fierce, and he warned sharply, "I advise you to give me the money right now, or I'll make you regret it."
Upon hearing this, Yin Xue gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Then her eyes hardened.
"impossible."
"What did you say!" Shen Song's face instantly darkened, and he gritted his teeth, warning, "Yin Xue, this is not your Yin family. Do you believe I will divorce you right now!"
Hearing him make another harsh statement, Yin Xue's smile grew even more bitter.
She lowered her eyes.
"My husband, is there truly no affection left between us? Do you really intend to treat me like this?"
Shen Song snorted coldly and said, "I just need some money. If you give it to me obediently, you can still be the young mistress of the General's Mansion. Otherwise..."
He hesitated to speak, but the threat in his eyes was so obvious.
Seeing his heartlessness, Yin Xue sighed.
She lowered her head and said slowly, "No."
After saying that, Yin Xue looked at the maid at the door.
"See the eldest young master out."
"Yin Xue!" Chen Song panicked and shouted at the people outside, "You can't come in."
He then looked at Yin Xue: "Are you really not going to give it to me? If I were to go out and die out there like this, wouldn't you be heartbroken?"
"No." Yin Xue uttered two words indifferently.
She raised her head, and her gentle, watery eyes now seemed filled with countless frosts, so cold that it made one shiver.
Shen Song spoke again: "Yin Xue, I really know how to leave."
"casual."
"Oh!"
Chen Song was so angry he laughed.
"Very well, that's excellent! In that case, don't blame me for being impolite!"
After uttering those harsh words, Chen Song turned and walked away without looking back.
Seeing that the person had left, Yin Xue couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
The maidservant stepped forward and looked at her with pity.
"Miss, the young master is going too far. Why don't we go and tell the old lady?"
"No!" Yin Xue immediately stopped her.
She stared thoughtfully at the empty courtyard for a long time.
A moment later, she laughed again.
“Ever since Lin Qingping appeared, my husband has no longer been my husband alone. I should have realized this long ago.”
"Miss……"
Yin Xue spoke again: "My mother-in-law is in charge of the General's Mansion. I have her to protect me."
Seeing that she wouldn't even try to persuade her to stay, the maid could only sigh repeatedly.
Yin Xue glanced indifferently at the maid, then lowered her head to read her book.
The following day.
Shen Yue went out to buy things for Qu Jingyun.
As soon as he left the mansion, he was stopped by the men that the Fifth Prince had arranged to guard the entrance of the General's Mansion.
She was soon brought before the Fifth Prince.
Looking at the tall and imposing Fifth Prince in front of her, Shen Yue frowned and stared at him warily.
"What business does the Fifth Prince have with me?"
Seeing that she spoke to him in a cold tone, the Fifth Prince immediately put on a stern face.
He pushed the woman in his arms away and walked towards Shen Yue.
He raised his hand to lift her chin, but Shen Yue immediately turned her head away: "What do you want to do?"
The Fifth Prince grabbed her chin tightly and questioned her with a stern face: "You actually want to get away from me? Shen Yue, don't forget that you used to cling to me like a dog and refused to leave."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yue's body trembled uncontrollably.
Her face turned pale.
"So... what do you want to do?" Her voice trembled with tears.
Seeing her cry, the Fifth Prince felt awkward for a moment.
The Fifth Prince's face darkened further when he thought that Qu Jingyun had actually refused the Empress's request to allow Shen Yue to marry him.
Sensing danger, Shen Yue struggled, saying, "Let me go quickly, my hand hurts."
"You don't want me to touch you?" the Fifth Prince asked with a stern face.
Shen Yue struggled incessantly, never expecting that the Fifth Prince, who had once loathed her to the core, would do such a thing.
"What are you doing, moving around like that? Didn't you want me to get closer to you before? Now that your mother is back to support you, you dare to treat me like this?" The Fifth Prince warned through gritted teeth.
