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

Marquis’ Mansion, Chuyun Courtyard.

Shen Du was annoyed by the people sent by Shen Zhilian, and finally agreed to come back.

Looking at Mrs. Shen, who was lying on the bed, looking sick but still in high spirits, his cold face became even colder.

"Since mother is ill, just take good care of her. Ask your son to come back. He is not a doctor!"

"Zhongfu, I am your biological mother! How can you do this to me!" Mrs. Shen roared loudly and kept slapping the edge of the bed with her hands.

"Really?" Shen Du suddenly smiled.

Maybe it was because he never smiled on weekdays, but when he smiled, the muscles on both sides of his mouth moved, making him look a little ferocious.

Mrs. Shen was so frightened that she trembled immediately.

"Why do you ask? How come I'm not your mother?"

"I didn't say you're not my biological mother. Why is mother so frightened?"

Mrs. Shen also felt that she was a little too nervous and forced a smile.

"Zhongfu, mother is confused because of illness! She said the wrong thing."

"Oh, that's right. I heard from the doctor that my mother has been dreaming about her dead aunts recently. I think she was frightened."

"Yes, yes, that's right." Madam Shen nodded repeatedly, "Zhongfu, come to me. I want to ask you something."

Shen Du took a step closer, but was still three steps away.

"Mother, please ask whatever you want to say. The servants have all been sent away, so no one can hear it."

Mrs. Shen didn't think much about it. After all, the mother and son were not close on a normal day.

"Zhongfu, my mother has been badly betrayed by the King of Yan this time. Didn't you say that the King of Yan was going to rebel? Hurry up and arrest him and execute him!"

Shen Du's eyebrows were indifferent. "When did my son say that the Prince of Yan was going to rebel? You can't say that. Rebellion is a serious crime, but framing the royal family will also result in the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan."

Mrs. Shen's eyes widened instantly.

"Didn't you ask that bastard of the Xu family to tell Xiuzhi that Prince Yan was going to rebel, and that's why I canceled the engagement?"

"Does the mother think her son is so imprudent?"

"Xiuzhi, Xiuzhi!" Mrs. Shen screamed loudly as if she was suddenly stunned.

She suddenly realized that Xiuzhi, who always followed her closely, seemed to have disappeared for half a day.

This has never happened in the past!

"Where's Xiuzhi? Where's Xiuzhi? Where's my Xiuzhi?!"

"Dad said that Madam Xiuzhi didn't take good care of mother, so she was kicked out and sold off. She will be replaced by a better one soon. Mother, please stop yelling!"

Mrs. Shen widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Impossible, impossible! Xiuzhi won't do that!"

"If it weren't for Nanny Xiuzhi's rash decision and instigating my mother to slander Prince Yan, there wouldn't have been so many disasters."

However, Shen Du remained calm and composed, as if the person in front of him was not his biological mother, but a criminal imprisoned in the Imperial City Bureau who had nothing to do with him.

"It's better to take good care of the mother, because the son still has things to do."

As he spoke, his jet-black robe left a trail in the air, and the man turned and left.

Mrs. Shen jumped out of bed and shouted at the top of her voice.

"Zhongfu, even if Xiuzhi is wrong, it's for your marriage. Can't you help her? Mother is used to Xiuzhi, and she can't be used to others!"

Shen Du's straight body stopped, and the corners of his cold and thin lips curled up in a very shallow arc.

"Mother has reminded her son that she has something to tell her. She has her own ideas about marriage, so you don't need to worry about it."

Mrs. Shen was stunned on the spot, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

"What do you think? Are you still thinking about that bitch from the Cui family?"

"....Tell me! All the girls my mother found for you were noble ladies! What's so good about that bitch from the Cui family?"

"......"

She screamed madly and rushed to the porch.

Where is the shadow of Shen Du?

Two maids rushed over and helped her into the house.

"Madam, the Marquis said you can't go outside. If you are exposed to the cold wind, you will get sicker..."

"How dare you! I am the wife of the Marquis of Zhongguo. How dare you confine me?!"

"Madam, please don't make things difficult for us. Let's take a rest..."

At the same time, the Cui family was preparing for the wedding with great fanfare.

Everyone in the capital knew that Duke Dingguo had personally gone to the Cui family's eldest daughter to propose marriage, and Minister Cui agreed without hesitation.

Although she was only marrying the third son of the Yue family, not everyone could marry into the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion.

What's more, Yue Shuyan has two brothers who are powerful and influential, both serving in the army.

If he just gets close to him, Minister Cui will be promoted and become rich.

However, Cui Zizhen was not only in a state of waking up with laughter in his dreams these days. He had been waiting for letters from the direction of Xiancao Valley, and he had to urge them several times a day.

"Has the letter arrived yet? Go check again!"

"Master, didn't you just go and see it?"

"Go and see again!"

"Yes!"

An hour later, someone finally delivered a secret letter to Cui's house.

After reading the letter, Cui Zizhen immediately went to the Ministry of Revenue.

When he came back, his face was flushed as if he was drunk.

Liu had been waiting at the door for a long time. As soon as she saw Cui Zizhen coming, she immediately stepped forward and made some "hmm" and "ah" gestures, looking very impatient.

Cui Zizhen took out a document from his pocket and handed it over.

"Now you can rest assured. From now on, Fangyi will be the only eldest daughter of the Cui family!"

Liu was so excited that she shed tears, opened her mouth wide, and uttered strange words such as "ah, um, ha".

"Yeah, yeah, it's true!"

Cui Zizhen dealt with Liu perfunctorily, but his heart was filled with disgust.

If Cui Fangyi was not his only daughter who was old enough, he would not bother to deal with a mute!

It’s a pity that the eldest daughter Lingyi is too disobedient, otherwise he would have one more bargaining chip.

Fortunately, she was lucky and had someone to protect her, so she got what she wanted in the end.

Thinking of this, Cui Zizhen felt somewhat complacent.

He snatched the document from Liu's hand with disgust and put it in his arms.

This thing is precious, please keep it well!

........

At the same time, a group of people were speeding on the official road leading to Shangjing.

The leader was Yue Shuyan, and in the carriage behind, Duke Dingguo Yue Changfeng had a gloomy face.

A pair of murderous tiger eyes were staring at a sharp sword in the right hand.

The carriage was shaking, but the sword in his hand didn't shake at all. He was extremely steady.

"San'er!"

"Grandpa!" Yue Shuyan responded and got into the car.

Seeing the sword in Yue Changfeng's hand, he hurriedly took it and sheathed it.

"What is Grandpa doing? Has it really come to this?"

"It's hard to say!" Yue Changfeng shook his head. "Shen Du is too hard to figure out. Grandpa doesn't know how much he has mastered!"

Yue Shuyan frowned, "Shen Du actually left Miss Cui behind and returned to Shangjing first, this is unacceptable!"

"What's so unreasonable about that?" Yue Changfeng glanced at Yue Shuyan with a bit of distrust on his face.

"You were the one who said that Shen Du regarded the Cui family as his lifeblood. As long as we stayed in Xiancao Valley, we could hold Shen Du back. What about now?"

"My grandson is also confused. Could it be that Miss Cui's refusal to marry Shen Du made him change his mind?"

"How could a man like Shen Du indulge in love?" Yue Changfeng let out a long breath, "What is your handle? He beat you so hard, and you didn't tell me?"

Yue Shuyan's expression froze and he turned away.

"It's nothing, actually. It has nothing to do with the affairs of the mansion anyway."
