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

As soon as Cui Lingyi heard Yue Changfeng asking about her engagement with Shen Du, she knew what opinion he was going to ask for.

But at this point, she couldn't go back on her word and say that she and Shen Du were really engaged.

What's more, she has already reached the age of 15.

This kind of thing will eventually be unavoidable in the future, so it is better to deal with it as soon as possible.

Cui Lingyi had nothing to say since she was sure of her thoughts.

"Yes, the engagement is indeed a joke. The Duke asked about this, it shouldn't be because of Shen Du, right!?"

Hearing this, Yue Changfeng smiled slightly and glanced at Yue Shuyan.

"Haha, of course not. That little guy has been giving my San'er a hard time. How could I do that for him?"

Although she had nothing to do with Shen Du anymore, Cui Lingyi felt unhappy when she heard others calling her a little thing.

So he frowned and said nothing.

"Xiao Lingyi, our San'er is just like you. He lost his mother very early. Now I am the only one who takes care of him. I came here not to recuperate..."

Cui Lingyi had never expected that Yue Changfeng came to Xiancao Valley on the pretext of illness because he was forced by his most beloved grandson Yue Shuyan to come here in order to propose to her.

From what Yue Changfeng said, Yue Shuyan had fallen in love with her a long time ago.

But because her engagement with Shen Du had long been known to the people of Shangjing, she did not show it at all.

It was not until they heard that she had personally denied the engagement and rejected Mrs. Shen's proposal that the Yue family decided to propose marriage.

"I had everything ready, but I didn't expect that a little girl like you would come to Xiancao Valley. I, an old man, had no choice but to come here because of you." Having said that, Yue Changfeng glanced at Yue Shuyan who was standing aside.

At this moment, he had changed into another set of crimson clothes. Because one side of his hair was shaved, he tied his hair up high, which made him look a little better than before.

But Cui Lingyi still couldn't accept it.

"My Lord, Lingyi has not asked for it yet..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Yue Changfeng again.

"Xiao Lingyi, there is something the Duke wants to tell you."

His voice was stern and his face was grim, he already looked aggressive.

"Before coming here, my third son has already visited your father. Your father also agreed to this marriage and accepted the betrothal gifts. Now it's up to you. When do you think it would be appropriate to finalize this?"

An unspeakable anger rose in Cui Lingyi's heart.

She didn't understand why these people were so self-righteous and thought that as long as they proposed marriage, she would have to marry them?

Whether it was the current grandfather and grandson Yue Changfeng, or Mrs. Shen before, they always looked superior and doted on her.

And her father, in order to get promoted and make money, wanted to sell her to the Marquis's Mansion before, but failed, and now he is holding on to the Duke's Mansion!

Does she have to marry someone to live the rest of her life?

No, never!

If she had not met Feng Zhenzhu before and had not heard those strange yet desirable truths, she might have really planted a ginseng in the pit of Polygonum multiflorum.

But now, she would never put her life in the hands of others!

Thinking of this, she smiled slowly and shook her head firmly.

"My Lord, you probably don't know that my father has already signed a document stating that I will decide my marriage myself. If he accepts your betrothal gift now, you can sue him for fraud and have him dismissed from office and imprisoned."

In Yue Changfeng's surprised eyes, she slowly looked at Yue Shuyan, "Third Master, I don't like you and cannot agree to this marriage. Please forgive me."

After saying that, she got up and left. When she reached the door, she heard Yue Shuyan's angry questioning.

"The person you like is Shen Du, right?"

She paused, said nothing, and left quickly.

I've given up everything. Does it really matter whether you like it or not?

Feng Zhenzhu caught up with her and supported her.

"Ali, how are you? Don't be too angry. It hurts your body, but you suffer..."

"I am fine."

In the end, it was Feng Zhenzhu who helped her back.

"Sister Pearl, it's a good thing you went with me, otherwise I don't know what would have happened?!"

Sitting on the small couch in the Lotus Pier, Cui Lingyi still felt a little scared when she thought of the madness of the grandfather and grandson.

The Yue family was a family of military officers. It is said that when the Duke of Dingguo was young, he beheaded 50,000 prisoners in a war with extremely cruel means.

Although he has become more friendly and casual in recent years and often goes to the temple to fast and eat vegetarian food, it is also to build a reputation for his queen daughter.

God knows what he will do in his rage.

And there is Yue Shuyan.

Feng Zhenzhu was right.

When Shen Du was around, he was so scared that he refused to even leave the guest house.

As soon as Shen Du left, he turned into a dragon.

It was also her fault. She was busy with the clinic's affairs and didn't notice something was wrong in time.

But I always feel like something is wrong.

She is the daughter of a fifth-rank minister of rites. Is it necessary for the Duke to travel thousands of miles to Xiancao Valley?

"In my opinion, this Duke and that dandy Third Young Master don't seem to be simple characters." Feng Zhenzhu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Cui Lingyi couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.

"I also think their visit is too abrupt. If they say it's for me, then it's unnecessary."

"No, no, no," Feng Zhenzhu shook her head. "Based on my personal experience, the Third Young Master does have a unique possessiveness towards you, and it doesn't seem to be fake. There must be something behind this, but we just can't figure it out. If..."

Feng Zhenzhu suddenly stopped and blinked at her with a pair of cunning eyes.

Cui Lingyi immediately understood what she meant.

She wanted to say that if Shen Du were there, with his skills, he might be able to figure out the reason.

Just as I was about to refute her, I suddenly thought of something and blurted it out without thinking.

"Do you think it might be related to the reason why Shen Du beat Yue Shuyan?"

Feng Zhenzhu pondered for a while, nodded, and then shook her head.

"Based on my experience, it's probably related to this incident, but I can't say for sure. Maybe it's just one of the reasons."

Cui Lingyi thought about it and agreed.

Everyone in Kyoto knew that Shen Du chased and beat Yue Shuyan as soon as he saw him, but no one knew why.

Because neither of them said anything.

But if you think about it carefully, the reason must not be very complicated.

Otherwise, Shen Du would not have handled this matter so ostentatiously.

"Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore. My head hurts."

Cui Lingyi also imitated Feng Zhenzhu, lying on the couch without any image, and turned over. Suddenly, she felt relaxed all over.

"Anyway, I have already rejected him. I think they will leave in a few days."
