The cold husband can't warm me up, I don't love him anymore

At Cui's house, Mrs. Liu was having a tantrum in the garden.

The peony in front of her had been torn into pieces by her.

"I wonder where that damn girl put the marriage certificate? She can't even find it?"

Cui Fangyi also tore off a petal and stomped her feet coquettishly.

"Mom, I need the marriage certificate! Go and ask someone to find it!"

"My dear daughter, don't worry, mother will not let you go!" Liu shook her handkerchief with a sinister look on her face.

"Since that damn girl doesn't want this engagement, mother will definitely fight for you. As long as you have the marriage certificate, you can definitely enter the Marquis's mansion. Even if you become a concubine, it will be as rich as gold and jade."

"Mom, I don't want to be a concubine. I want to marry Shen Du and be the marquis's wife!" Cui Fangyi said shyly, her face full of shyness.

Liu sighed, "Mother knows this, but that young marquis is not..."

She suddenly stopped and grabbed Cui Fangyi's hand.

"Fang Yi, if you can enter the Marquis's mansion, there's nothing wrong with being a concubine. As long as you hold the Marquis' heart firmly, you don't have to worry about not having a chance to make a breakthrough. Look at mother, wasn't she also a concubine back then? Now she's still the wife of an official!"

"Then..." Cui Fangyi was about to speak when the old butler suddenly rushed over.

He ran and shouted.

"Madam, Madam, the young marquis is here and wants to see you!"

"That young marquis?"

Liu didn't react for a while, but Cui Fangyi's face turned red with anxiety.

"Mother, besides the one from the Shen family, who else is the young marquis?"

"Yes, yes, yes, mother is so anxious that she is confused!" Liu stamped her feet repeatedly, but her face suddenly turned pale.

"Ah, he is here, did he say anything?"

The housekeeper shook his head quickly, "Nothing was said, the master is not at home, Madam, please go quickly!"

Liu hurried to the front hall, panting like a cow.

As soon as she saw Shen Du's cold face and emotionless eyes, she was immediately choked.

I forced all my breath back into my stomach.

"Little Marquis, why are you here?" Liu forced a smile and stepped forward. "I was just planning to send someone to inform the Marquis, but Lingyi suddenly insisted on going to the Fairy Grass Valley, and I couldn't stop her..."

"Did anything unusual happen on the day of the proposal?"

"Ah!" Liu, who was suddenly interrupted, looked confused.

When she met Shen Du's emotionless eyes, an idea suddenly came to her mind.

"My Lord, are you asking about Lingyi?!"

Seeing Shen Du's expressionless face, she knew she had guessed correctly.

He immediately told him everything that happened that day!

"My Lord, I am also wondering why Lingyi suddenly said that there is no engagement! And now she is running so far away, isn't she deliberately trying to make things difficult for you..."

"Shut up." Shen Du shouted coldly, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts stared straight at Liu.

"Did you do something to her before that?"

"No, no! How dare I! Ever since I did something wrong last time and the Marquis showed mercy and gave me a chance, I will never dare to do it again. Please understand, Marquis. After all, I am her mother..."

Liu was speaking excitedly when she saw Shen Du walking out.

Thinking of the marriage certificate that had not been found yet, Liu got excited and immediately chased after him.

"My Lord, please wait a moment!"

Shen Du stopped and there was a slight fluctuation on his expressionless face.

"Do you remember anything unusual?"

"My Lord, there is indeed an anomaly!"

"Say!"

"My Lord, this is what I think. Lingyi suddenly decided not to marry, but there must be someone in your house. If you are kind enough, why not take my daughter Fangyi into your room? My daughter Fangyi looks a lot like Lingyi, and she is more lively than her. My Lord will definitely like her..."

Liu was talking happily, but by the time she sensed the danger, it was too late.

There was a flash of silver light, and suddenly blood gushed out of Liu's open mouth, and a small piece of tongue fell out.

"Your daughter is worthy of looking like Ah Li!?"

......

That morning, the gate of the Imperial City Office suddenly opened, and more than a hundred Imperial City officials dressed in black uniforms embroidered with eagles were dispatched.

Each of these people was riding a black horse and had a short sword on his waist.

The group went out of the south gate and headed straight towards Binzhou.

Walking in front were a white horse and a chestnut horse.

"Lord Shen, have you gone too far this time? I am your friend, how can you bear to throw me out like this again and again!"

"......"

"Master Shen, are you really planning to chase him to the Fairy Grass Valley? Have you figured out how to appease your little tail?"

"......"

Shen Du said nothing, but flicked the whip and the white horse leaped a mile in an instant.

Xu Junyao hurriedly rode his horse to catch up, still shouting.

"What sin have I committed to make a friend like you? You are not dumb, so why are you so tight-lipped? Can't you just say something? If you keep going like this, you will have no friends—"

The chestnut horse neighed and followed.

The group of imperial envoys following behind wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. They held it back and made muffled chuckles.

When Liu went to the capital, the news that her tongue had been cut off quickly spread.

Everyone said that it was Liu who pleaded for Cui Lingyi and wanted to save the engagement, which led to her being murdered.

It can be seen that Shen Du obviously doesn't care about Cui Lingyi at all.

Otherwise, you have to save your face no matter what.

While everyone was wary of Shen Du's methods, they were also secretly happy.

For a moment, the world was in an uproar, and the fact that the verbal engagement back then was just a joke was completely confirmed.

Many noble ladies in the capital were once again aroused by love, flooding more than half of the Marquis Zhongguo's mansion.

Mrs. Shen sat in the back hall, receiving waves of people who came to propose marriage.

As expected, King Yan also came.

The excuse was that he wanted to invite Shen Zhi, the Marquis of Zhongguo, who had been in seclusion for many years, to go hunting.

Mrs. Shen saw through his true thoughts at a glance, and after a few words she asked him to stay in the back hall for tea.

"I heard that Madam is looking for a matchmaker for Zhongfu recently?"

"That's right. Zhongfu is already 20 years old. People his age already have several children!"

"That's right. My Baohua is also not young anymore. I hope she can marry a capable man like Zhongfu!"

"..."

Mrs. Shen was in high spirits during those days and walked with a breeze.

Six days later, Mrs. Shen finally made a decision and went to Prince Yan's Mansion to propose marriage and settle the matter between Shen Du and Princess Baohua.

At the same time, he selected a few women with good looks to be Shen Du's concubines.

Once Shen Du finishes his mission and returns to Beijing, we can hold a grand ceremony.

Things went smoothly. After the two families compared their horoscopes, they found that it was a match made in heaven and extremely auspicious.

Mrs. Shen was so happy that she directly exchanged engagement tokens with Prince Yan.

"Don't worry, Prince Liang. My family will definitely be satisfied with this marriage, as agreed by our parents and the matchmaker. When he comes back, he will come to our house in person."

All of a sudden, both families began to prepare for what they thought was their wedding. ?

Mrs. Shen was busy collecting all kinds of good things as a betrothal gift.

The only thing I forgot was one thing—Shen Du doesn’t talk much, but he speaks with his actions.
