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

Although Bu Yun and Bu Se did not want to do this, they dared not disobey their master's order and had to take the silver and go.

After seeing the two off, Cui Lingyi acted as if nothing had happened and went to the clinic with Feng Zhenzhu to do some work.

The clinic has been almost cleaned up.

My second uncle asked someone to calculate a good day for opening the business, and it was exactly five days later.

However, they have not been idle these days. They have to arrange all matters such as medicinal materials, servants, apprentices, etc.

The medicine boy and several apprentices who stayed in Xiancao Valley before will arrive in Shangjing in the next few days.

After they are settled in, they will be given a simple training before opening.

After all, it is Shangjing, unlike the small county town of Shangyang before, there are many things to pay attention to.

It would be bad if someone who didn't know better offended an important person.

Of course, Cui Lingyi also recruited servants who were familiar with the situation in Beijing to run errands in advance, and let everyone do their own job.

To avoid chaos.

In the afternoon, the two were busy in the store when suddenly a servant came to report that someone was determined to see her and refused to leave.

Cui Lingyi started to wonder when she heard this.

"Why doesn't he want to leave? How old is he? What does he look like?"

After hearing what the servant said, she immediately knew that it was Cui Zizhen who came to visit.

A few days ago, the government issued a notice that Cui Zizhen was involved in an underground money-lending business as an official, and was exiled to a small town in the southwest to work as a clerk. He would be leaving in the next few days.

He must have come here to cause trouble.

After thinking about it, Cui Lingyi decided to go and meet him.

After this separation, no one knows when they will see each other again, and Cui Lingyi also has something she wants to ask him.

In the front hall, Cui Zizhen looked anxious and kept spinning on the ground.

As soon as he saw Cui Lingyi coming, he hurriedly came over with a sad face.

"Lingyi, you have to save dad. The government wants to send dad to Dian Town to work as a clerk. Go and beg the young marquis to help keep me in Shangjing! Even if I don't work as an official in the future, dad will accept it!"

Cui Lingyi just felt refreshed.

This arrangement suited her just fine.

Cui Zizhen was such a power-obsessed person that he would rather not be an official than not stay here. This shows that Dian Town was really not a good place.

However, she always looked unconcerned. She wanted to take a look.

What on earth did Cui Zizhen want to do by coming to my house without caring about his dignity?

"Not an official? Then what are you doing in Shangjing? Do you have a place to live? Do you have any property?"

Cui Zizhen was stunned. "Dad, don't I still have you? I heard that you have built a new house and are going to open a clinic. Dad can help you!"

Cui Lingyi smiled.

"Oh, so this is what you are thinking. Would it be better for me to support your son, daughter, and your woman, and give you money to marry a few more young and beautiful women?"

"Yes." Cui Zizhen was completely unaware of the irony in these words and nodded repeatedly.

"Dad, it's okay. I heard that your yard is very big, with five entrances and five exits. If you drive those two people named Zhenzhu and Ya away, it will be just enough for our family to live in!"

"You have inquired very clearly!"

"Of course, you are my daughter, so I naturally care about you."

Seeing that Cui Lingyi remained calm and had no intention of kicking him out, Cui Zizhen finally felt relieved.

He stated the most important purpose of his visit today.

"My daughter, before our family reunion, Dad would like to ask you to do one more thing?"

"what's up?"

"It's just..." Cui Zizhen hesitated for a rare moment, "It's about your sister."

"...What's wrong with her?"

Cui Lingyi pretended to be ignorant, which made Cui Zizhen very anxious.

"Oh, my daughter! That Lord Gu is the chief investigator of this case. He wants to take revenge on Daddy by saying that your sister has been engaged to the Yue family and has become a member of the Yue family. He wants her to be exiled to the Northern Wilderness with the Yue family!"

"Go find the young marquis and tell him about this. Ask Gu Lianyun to remove your sister from the exile list. From now on, our family can be together..."

Hearing this, Cui Lingyi could no longer bear it.

"Mr. Cui, oh, no, Mr. Cui, have you forgotten something? You and I have severed our father-daughter relationship long ago, so why should I still live with you?"

Cui Zizhen thought she was just being angry and didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, he tried even harder to persuade her.

"My daughter, even if we are no longer related, the blood relationship between you and me cannot be severed. You are now building a career in the capital, how can you do it without someone you can rely on? Dad and my brothers and sisters can help you!"

"Can you trust me? Brother and sister?" Cui Lingyi snorted coldly and shook off Cui Zizhen's pull.

She must have had a brain cramp to listen to his nonsense for so long.

"Let me ask you, Cui Zizhen, am I really your biological daughter?"

Cui Zizhen was stunned for a moment. "When you say that, where do you put your mother? Of course you are my biological daughter!"

Cui Lingyi nodded.

"If that's the case, then you should tell my mother's spirit in heaven why you treated me, your own daughter, in this way. You cheated her, harmed her, and lied to her. You would never stop until you squeezed every last bit of profit out of her. Why?"

"We are both your biological daughters, so why do you always side with Cui Fangyi and treat me like someone else's wild child? Why?"

Cui Zizhen was stumped by the question.

He looked at Cui Lingyi in astonishment and was unable to speak for a long time.

"You can't tell it? Right!" Cui Li sneered.

"Some people say that there are many parents in this world who only give birth to their children but don't care about raising them. I have a good mother but not a good father. I have long accepted this fact and have gotten used to not having a father. Now you have tried to harm me many times but failed, and you still want me to help you. Do you think it's possible? Cui Zizhen, I'm going to say this today. Since we severed our father-daughter relationship, your life and death have nothing to do with me. Likewise, everything about me has nothing to do with you. Go away!"

Cui Zizhen finally realized that Cui Lingyi had been teasing him all this time and had no intention of helping him solve the problem.

Anger and shame gradually rose from his haggard old face, gradually becoming hideous.

"Cui Lingyi, you are serious, right? You really don't plan to help? You don't plan to acknowledge me as your father, right?"

"Yes." Cui Lingyi smiled frankly.

"Yes, I said that. Please don't tell anyone else that you have a daughter named Cui Lingyi. I won't mention you either. Because I'm ashamed of you!!"

"You, you..." Cui Zizhen's face turned red, and he raised a trembling finger and pointed at her firmly, "You, you are really cruel!"

Cui Lingyi smiled faintly.

"Cruel? If you insist on thinking so, there's nothing I can do. I learned all this from you."

"You, you rebellious girl!" Cui Zizhen was so angry that his whole body was shaking, the beard at the corner of his lips kept trembling, and the anger in his eyes was enough to kill people.

"Rebellious daughter? Isn't this all taught by you, your good father?" Cui Lingyi curled her lips silently.

She used to think that there was something wrong with her background, so Cui Zizhen didn’t like her.

Now she knew that Cui Zizhen was treating her differently.

She didn't want to say anything more, so she shouted immediately.

"Someone, kick this nonsense man out and don't let him come in again."

"You, you..." Cui Zizhen's face was almost distorted.

Disappointment and unwillingness made him lose his last bit of sanity. He started cursing with shaking hands.

"You, you are a jinx, born to die, and you brought bad luck to my Cui family! I have no chance to rise! If it weren't for your mother, if it weren't for Shen Du, that nosy guy, do you think you could have lived to this day? I would have killed you long ago!"
