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

Of course, she didn't tell Shen Du about this.

But he, who had heard from somewhere that she went to the back hall, became even colder towards her.

At that time, Shen Du often went out and never went to the back hall to visit Mrs. Shen after he came back.

Every time, Madam Shen would run to Laiyi Pavilion where she and Shen Du lived, calling her darling.

But Shen Du turned around and left without saying a word.

Now that I think about it, there was indeed a big problem.

Could it be that Shen Du later found out that Mrs. Shen was not his biological mother?

What about this life?

It seems like you already know it?

That makes sense.

Shen Sheng meant that the person who had made the engagement with her mother was not Mrs. Shen, but Shen Du’s biological mother.

According to the principle that whoever makes the engagement should execute and acknowledge it, Mrs. Shen does not have the right to cancel her engagement with Shen Du.

No wonder when Mrs. Shen came to propose marriage that day, she asked her to be a concubine instead of canceling the engagement directly.

Later, she proposed to cancel the engagement, and Mrs. Shen agreed.

However, Shen Du's mother, who actually made the engagement, did not agree to cancel the engagement.

In a word, she cannot cancel the engagement unilaterally.

And her mother had told her clearly the night she died.

As long as the Shen family does not break the contract, she will marry Shen Du according to the contract.

This is equivalent to saying that everything she did from the beginning to the end was nonsense.

Her engagement with Shen Du has always existed.

No wonder Shen Du always said that the engagement would never be cancelled.

No matter what she did, she had to marry him.

Cui Lingyi took a breath and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Lingyi." Shen Sheng suddenly changed his address.

"I don't know why you want to cancel your engagement with Shen Du. But I hope you can consider your two mothers' wishes and marry Shen Du."

"I..." Cui Lingyi opened her mouth.

I just felt my lips dry and my throat astringent, and I couldn't speak for a while.

Suddenly Shen Sheng changed the subject, "Or do you think Shen Du is not a legitimate son, so you don't want to marry him?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Lingyi quickly waved her hands.

"No, no, no, no, absolutely not like that, I never knew... It's like this, I mean it doesn't matter whether Shen Du is a legitimate son or not... No, what I mean is, I don't want to cancel the engagement just because Shen Du is not a legitimate son..."

Cui Lingyi explained incoherently, not noticing the hint of cunning that flashed across Shen Sheng's wrinkled face.

"...So, Lingyi agrees to this marriage and agrees to marry Shen Du?"

"No, that's not the case... My Lord, please listen to me..."

But Shen Sheng didn't give her the chance to continue.

"Lingyi, if it's not the case, then I am relieved. Don't worry, Shen Du will not treat you badly. Although he is not a legitimate son, his character and appearance are outstanding, and he will not humiliate you."

As he spoke, he stood up with a relaxed smile on his face.

"I will go to the Li family to propose marriage..."

"By the way, I heard that the engagement in your hand is not in your hand now. But it doesn't matter, Shen Du's mother has another copy. With this as proof, I believe your two uncles should not embarrass me..."

"........"

By the time Cui Lingyi came to her senses, Shen Sheng had already stepped out of the court and walked a long way away.

She hurried out of the hall and shouted.

"My Lord, please stay..."

She hasn't explained the matter clearly yet!

Also, what happened to Shen Du’s mother?

Why have I never heard Shen Du talk about it?

According to Shen Sheng, Shen Du’s biological mother should still be alive. Then why had she never seen her when she married into the Marquis’ Mansion in her previous life?

Shen Sheng stopped, turned around and waved at her.

"You can go back. It's windy outside. I'm going to your uncle's house now. You don't have to worry..."

What is she worried about?

How could she be worried?

She was clearly full of doubts.

Cui Lingyi stamped her feet, feeling that everything was ridiculous.

If her engagement with Shen Du had not been cancelled from the beginning, then what on earth had she done in the past year or so, almost two years?

Run away from marriage?

Didn’t escape either?

And the result was a lot of weird things?

By the way, we must send someone to my uncle’s house quickly!

However, given Shen Sheng's status and position, and the marriage certificate in hand, her uncle didn't have the courage to say anything.

I'm afraid he nodded in agreement immediately.

......

For a moment, Cui Lingyi's mind was dizzy and there was only one picture in her mind:

A little girl ran away from home.

She ran for a long, long time, and just when she thought she had finally escaped.

When she turned around, she found that there was a rope around her neck.

That taste is simply...

What Shen Sheng said is true.

Less than two hours later, the two uncles came excitedly.

As soon as my uncle Li Jingtian entered the door, he told them the purpose of his visit.

"Ah Li, today Zhongguo Hou came to propose marriage in person, with considerate etiquette and a marriage certificate in hand. Your second uncle and I have no reason to refuse, so we will accept it for you. Do you have any objections?"

"I....."

Cui Lingyi was about to speak when her second uncle Li Changqing stood up from his seat, looking as if he would not give up until he got the answer clearly.

"Ah Li, if that's the case, how could you lie to your uncle before? And you said that you and Shen Du had broken off the engagement? Why would the Marquis Zhongguo come to propose marriage in person?!"

"I....."

Before she could say anything, her uncle Li Jingtian took over the conversation.

"Ah Li, this is your fault. Your aunt and I thought you had no marriage, so we have been trying to find a good family for you... The Chen family and the Qi family were still asking about you yesterday, and today... Well... But if you can marry Shen Du, it will naturally be the best choice, and your aunt and I will be relieved..."

"Uncle, I..."

Li Jingtian nodded and shook his head, patiently persuading him.

"You don't have to worry about anything. Your uncle doesn't understand the way you young people act. Now it's all right. You liked Shen Du so much before, and now you have finally got what you wanted. When you get married, you will be the Marquis's wife, so you can't be so willful anymore... Don't say some things that shouldn't be said, and don't do some things so openly... You must remember these..."

Before he finished speaking, his second uncle Li Changqing took over.

"Ali, you haven't told me the reason yet? What happened?"

Cui Liyi was also speechless.

Why didn’t I realize before that her second uncle was still a curious baby?

"Uncle, I can't really explain the reasons behind this. In fact, I haven't decided whether to marry Shen Du..."

Before she finished speaking, both uncles' eyes widened.

The eldest uncle Li Jingtian was terrified, and the second uncle Li Changqing was surprised.

However, both of them said the same thing at the same time.

"No nonsense."

"Such a good marriage, how can you be so willful?"

"We have read the marriage certificate. It is your mother's wish. How can you not listen to your mother?"
