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

But for Foshou, what she cares most about is Cui Lingyi's attitude towards Shen Du.

That night, after returning to her and Jiulie's small courtyard, she told Jiulie everything.

"I think the young lady wants to compensate the master. I think you should talk to the master. Let him be prepared so that he won't be in trouble when the time comes."

Jiulie also agreed very much.

"I also think we should tell the Lord. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will ask you to return to the Imperial City Division at any time."

Having said that, Jiulie stood up and was about to leave.

Buddha's Hand quickly pulled the man back and pointed to the dark night outside.

"Won't you talk about it tomorrow? Where are you going at this hour?"

"You are so stupid! My Lord might go to see Miss Cui tonight. When the two of them meet, Miss Cui will stuff the banknote into my Lord's arms. Do you think my Lord will take it or not?"

Come to think of it, it is true.

Shen Du had gone to Cui Lingyi's room in the middle of the night several times before?

Thinking of this, Foshou hurriedly urged Jiulie to go quickly.

What a coincidence.

As soon as Jiulie arrived at the back hall of the Imperial City Department, he saw Shen Du coming out from the direction of the bathroom.

He was wearing a moon-white robe, completely different from his usual dark attire.

He already had a handsome face, and this outfit made him look even more handsome and more approachable.

One look at her appearance shows that she wants to take a look into the boudoir.

Jiulie was stumped for a moment.

Do you still want to tell Shen Du this news?

"How did you come?"

Hearing Shen Du's slightly cold voice, Jiulie quickly came back to his senses.

"Sir, your subordinate..."

"What's wrong? Aren't all the things dealt with? There's no rush for other things, go back and rest."

Jiulie felt more and more uncomfortable. He had never seen Shen Du like this before.

He spoke such a long speech to his subordinate in one breath, and his tone was particularly calm.

The sun really came out in the west.

I just don’t know if Shen Du will still be in such a good mood after hearing what he has to say?

"Sir, I have already been home once. I heard something from Buddha's Hand and thought I should tell you about it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Du stopped adjusting his belt.

Those sharp eyes shot into his cheek.

Jiulie suddenly felt a pressure.

"Oh, what did you say?"

Jiulie lowered his head and finally finished what Foshou said.

For a moment, I couldn't retreat or advance, and I didn't know what else I could do.

After a long silence, Shen Du's lost voice was finally heard.

"Go back."

"Yes, my lord."

Jiulie didn't dare to look up again. He responded and quietly left.

The candle flames flickered in the air.

A breeze blew in from the pear blossom window pane on the right side of the hall, instantly extinguishing an entire row of candlesticks.

Half of the rear hall suddenly fell into darkness, making the other half appear particularly bright and dazzling.

Standing in the semi-darkness, Shen Du looked at the brightness on the opposite side for a long time.

He wanted to reach out and extinguish the other half of the candle.

But the hands were so heavy that they seemed to be cast from iron and could not move at all.

I don't know how long I stood in the dark.

Finally, he sighed, returned to the couch and lay down on his side.

There was no movement for a long time.

The next day, Cui Lingyi found 15,000 taels of silver and took it with her, intending to look for Shen Du.

But in order not to come up empty-handed, she still asked Buddha's Hand to find out.

Soon the Buddha's hand came back.

"My lady, the master suddenly had some business today and went out of the city. He is not in the Imperial City Division."

"Ah, not in the Imperial City Division." Cui Lingyi was a little disappointed. "Okay? Then did you find out when he will be back?"

"I heard it was an order from His Majesty, but I don't know what it is specifically about. No matter what, we won't get any news until tonight."

The Buddha's hand told lies in all seriousness.

In fact, she had just gone out and met Shen Du in the Imperial City Division.

But Cui Lingyi didn’t think about this.

In her opinion, what Buddha's Hand said was credible.

In his previous life, Shen Du was not in Beijing for almost half of the time.

It is common to go out of town suddenly on business.

Thinking of this, she had no choice but to put the silver back into the cabinet.

"Okay? We'll talk about it tomorrow."

This wait lasted three days.

The lack of news from Shen Du made Cui Lingyi feel a little uneasy.

I was always thinking about the money I owed Shen Du, and as a result, I thought about this person more often.

This made Cui Lingyi very annoyed.

At noon on the fourth day, Yang Yazi came to report that the house had been completely cleaned up and the pavilion had been built, and asked them to come over for inspection.

Upon hearing this, Cui Lingyi instantly thought that the house belonged to Shen Du.

She still owed him a large sum of money...

Feng Zhenzhu was already impatient and wanted to move in right away.

Shan Ya did not go to see Xu Junyao today, but she became excited when she heard about the house inspection.

"Go, go, the house is a big deal!"

Cui Lingyi had no choice but to follow the others into the house.

From a distance, I could see that the gate and plaque of the house looked brand new.

There are two big characters hanging upright on it - Cui's House.

Yang Yazi led them in with a respectful look on his face.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see an exquisitely carved wall painting.

Small ornamental cypress trees are planted all around.

It is verdant and lovely.

It does not block the view, and at the same time allows a clear view of the small garden at the back.

There are gravel paths on both sides, leading directly to the front hall.

Further back is the backyard.

The pavilion is also very well built.

It was restored completely according to the drawings drawn by the two people.

At this time, the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, and the breeze fills the yard with lotus fragrance.

"It's so beautiful. It's such a pleasure to live here." Feng Zhenzhu cheered repeatedly.

Cui Lingyi was also very happy.

She was indeed very satisfied with this house.

The temporary feeling of pleasure diluted her anxiety about paying Shen Duo back!

Everything was confirmed to be correct, Yang Yazi said, and we could move in right away.

"Tomorrow is an auspicious day. Isn't it just the right time for you all to move in?"

"It's too fast. Wait a minute."

Cui Lingyi meant that at least she should wait until she paid the full amount to Shen Du!

However, Feng Zhenzhu meant that they would have to move sooner or later, so she could let the two maids, Bu Yun and Buse, come over to clean up first.

"That's possible." Cui Lingyi nodded in agreement.

I went back to the Li family and told my two aunts, and they also said there was no need to rush.

"We still need to find a date. We have to hold a housewarming party anyway."

That being said, that afternoon, Bu Yunbuse was busy moving things in.

Seeing how they couldn't wait to move into their new home, Cui Lingyi was helpless.

In the afternoon, Feng Zhenzhu took her to the market to buy some things.

In the evening, the two aunts said that there would be a very auspicious day in three days, which would be perfect for moving into the new house, and there would also be plenty of time to prepare for the banquet.

"Ali, who do you think you should invite? Let your second aunt help you arrange it." Aunt Qiu said bluntly.

Second aunt Liang also agreed, "I am familiar with hosting banquets! As for the people to be invited, Young Marquis Shen can't be left out, right?!"
