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

"That's right!" Bu Yun said cheerfully, "Every time the young marquis sees us, he always asks how your life is going, how your diet is going, and then he lets us serve you well."

"Wrong, the young marquis said this..."

Bu Se cleared his throat and began to imitate Shen Du's cold and reserved look.

"You must take good care of the young lady. If anything goes wrong, you will all be exiled to the border!"

Bu Se originally looked older and spoke less.

The imitation was quite similar and made everyone laugh.

"Don't mention it. He has been like this for a long time!" Bu Yun laughed and added, "At that time, he had just passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar. He was almost the same age as us, but he acted like an adult in front of us, just like Bu Se just now, putting on airs..."

"Who's putting on airs? The young marquis is obviously like that!" Bu Se pouted and pretended to grab Bu Yun's mouth.

Cui Lingyi narrowed her eyes.

Shen Du was 16 years old when he passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer.

Her mother had been dead for several years at that time.

Did he start protecting her from that time on?

"Come to think of it, the young marquis has been protecting our eldest lady even earlier than that time." Bu Yun dodged Bu Se's hand and moved closer to Cui Lingyi to seek protection.

Bu Se then stopped and moved closer to Cui Lingyi.

"I remember one time, Liu wanted to embarrass Miss and asked you to kneel in the ancestral hall. Later, the young marquis somehow found out and gave Liu a severe lesson. Miss, don't you remember anything?"

Bu Yun also said, "I also know about this matter. At that time, the young lady was only ten or eleven years old..."

Cui Lingyi was stunned.

She did remember this incident.

It was not long after her mother died.

After Liu came to power, he started to make trouble for her.

One time it was winter, and Liu found an excuse to ask her to kneel in the ancestral hall.

But later he suddenly stopped her from kneeling, gave her some hot ginger soup, and said some considerate and nice words.

It turned out to be Shen Du...

Wasn't he busy going to school and practicing martial arts at that time?

How can I have the time...

No, didn’t he suddenly stop talking at that time?

The whole person became extremely cold...

Cui Lingyi still believed what the two maids said.

They were both a few years older than her, so naturally they remembered many things more clearly.

Thinking of this, she held their hands.

"Let's go home, and you two tell me everything that happened. Including my mother's illness."

The two maids were very happy to see that Cui Lingyi didn't seem so averse to talking about Shen Du, and they agreed immediately.

They returned to the house happily, and the two maids kept saying all kinds of good things about Shen Du along the way.

But Cui Lingyi wanted to know more about her mother's illness at that time.

Unfortunately, the two maids knew nothing about it.

"Miss, Madam said that we are here to serve you. Just take good care of you. Don't ask or interfere in other matters."

"Yes, back then it was Old Madam Li who took care of Madam's affairs, and we couldn't interfere."

Old Madam Li?

Cui Lingyi remembered.

There is indeed such an old lady in my memory.

She is much older than her mother.

She has always stayed by her mother's side, never leaving her side.

Later her mother died, and Old Nanny Li suddenly disappeared?

Given her age, I wonder if she is still alive?

Cui Lingyi pursed her lips slightly.

"It seems that I still have to go find Shen Du."

The two maids didn't understand why Cui Lingyi asked about the lady's illness, but they were very happy to hear that she was going to find Shen Du.

"Miss, the young marquis will not accept your money, so why bother to upset him. But if you go to see him, the young marquis will definitely be very happy."

"That's right, Miss. Why don't you go find the young marquis like you did in the past and talk to him and have a chat..."

"The past? What happened to me in the past?" Cui Lingyi's face suddenly turned cold.

The two maids didn't understand why Cui Lingyi's expression suddenly changed, and they didn't dare to say anything.

They all lowered their heads in embarrassment and stopped talking.

Cui Lingyi snorted, took the bag containing 15,000 taels of silver in her hand, and said coldly: "Do you two want to make a bet? If I let Shen Du accept this silver, I will marry you two off! How about it?"

Hearing this, the two maids were a little panicked.

"My lady, please do not marry us off. We were bought by the Madam to follow you."

Cui Lingyi ignored him and went out on her own, asking her servants to harness the carriage and head to the Imperial City Administration.

The two maids did not dare to be careless and immediately followed closely.

Cui Lingyi noticed the two people behind the car and couldn't help but smile secretly.

She didn't just say that casually.

After the previous conversation, she suddenly realized that the two maids were already twenty-one or twenty-two years old and were old enough to get married.

Not only has she wasted her time these years, but she has even kept these two maids until now.

Anyway, she didn't plan to get married casually, so she couldn't let the two maids suffer forever.

Let’s find a good husband for them first.

This would save him from telling her every day how good Shen Du is and how trustworthy he is.

Soon the car arrived at the gate of the Imperial City.

Although it is not far from the main street, the entrance of the Imperial City Office is always deserted.

The black gate is majestic and intimidating.

No ordinary person would dare to act rashly in this place.

But for Cui Lingyi, coming here is like revisiting an old place.

I remember that on the day she died, she fell down not far from Huangcheng Temple.

As she approached this place, the memories in her brain came alive.

He smiled at her, like the warm sunshine in winter.

The noisy crowd was complimenting them both.

They say they are a perfect match.

Everything is still vivid in my mind, as if it happened yesterday.

But the reality has become different.

If he had the chance to do it all over again, why did he cling to her instead?

Cui Lingyi was puzzled, but she understood one thing more and more in her heart.

No matter how good Shen Du is to her.

How he had protected her.

As long as she had the memory of her previous life, she would never be able to forgive Shen Du.

It’s a pity that she couldn’t let others know the reason.

After the car stopped, Bu Yun hurried forward to ask questions.

Cui Lingyi didn't plan to just wait for Shen Du.

Since I know that he is in the Imperial City Bureau, I must meet him today.

After getting off the car and walking to the door, an imperial city envoy came out.

When he saw her, he bowed respectfully.

"Ms. Cui, my master is busy right now. He asked you to go home first. He will come to see you later."

Go to her house?

Cui Linyi twitched the corners of her lips, but she didn't want to see him in that house again.

"Please inform him again and tell him that Cui Lingyi has something important to ask and he must see him."

"This..." The Imperial City Envoy hesitated, and it was obvious that he did not dare to report it.

At this moment, a voice as clear and cool as sweet spring water suddenly sounded.

"Ali——"
