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

In the front hall, Liu was whispering into Cui Zizhen's ear.

After a while, Cui Zizhen not only calmed down his anger, but also had a smile on his face.

"Is this okay? I'm afraid this damn girl won't agree!"

"Why would she refuse? She won't get married anyway, so it's just right for Fangyi to take over." Liu looked confident, "Master, please rest assured. I have my own way."

Cui Lingyi had just arrived at Zither Garden where she lived when Liu followed in.

"Lingyi, your father asked me to ask you, are you really not going to marry into the Marquis's Mansion?"

"Yes."

Cui Lingyi had no particular likes or dislikes for Liu.

She was the concubine's daughter of the Taifu family. Perhaps because of her upbringing, she was not as vicious as some concubines who had risen to power in other families. She beat and scolded the daughter of her ex-wife, and even poisoned her.

With the protection of her two uncles over the years, she suffered some losses, but overall, she was able to get by.

After being reborn, she just wanted to live a good life and didn't want to care about the past grudges anymore.

Therefore, there was a slight frown on his brows when he spoke, no different from usual.

But in Liu's view, this is a positive signal.

In the past, whenever Cui Lingyi talked about anything related to the Shen family, her eyes would light up so brightly that it would be scary to death.

Now it is obvious that she really does not want to marry into the Marquis's Mansion.

So she couldn't wait to tell him her plan.

"Lingyi, since you don't want to get married, why don't you give this engagement to your sister! She will never forget you when she becomes the Marquis's wife!"

Cui Lingyi frowned.

She was not surprised that Liu had such a request.

In her previous life, she was forced to marry Shen Du on the pretext of an engagement.

Because she had not given birth for several years, Liu wanted her help and gave Cui Fangyi to Shen Du as a concubine, and she even gave it the beautiful name of keeping the wealth within the family.

Now she is eyeing directly on the marriage contract and wants to become the marquis's wife.

It’s just a pity that Madam Shen came today just to make her a concubine.

Madam Hou...

Cui Lingyi sighed softly in her heart.

"There is no engagement. I have made it clear to Madam Shen today. My mother made it very clear when she died. It was just a joke back then."

Liu didn't believe it and left angrily.

Cui Lingyi stared at the wisteria flowers outside the window for a long time before she walked into the inner room.

He first moved the bedside table away, then opened a secret compartment under the bed, and then took out a box.

The box is made of rosewood, with two orchids carved on the front and four lotus-shaped corner bases made of gold and bronze.

After opening the lid, a beautifully mounted silk book was quietly lying inside the box, with the words "marriage certificate" written on it.

"Snapped......"

Tears as big as beans rolled down without warning, hitting the silk book, splashing it all over.

Cui Lingyi quickly reached out to wipe it.

Tears continued to drip, staining a large area of ​​ink.

"Mother, I'm sorry I can't follow your wishes..."

Half a cup of tea later, she put on a cone hat and went to the family cemetery in the eastern suburbs. She buried the box and the marriage certificate in front of Cui's mother's grave.

In the previous life, in order to marry Shen Du to Princess Baohua from the Liang Wang family, Madam Shen took advantage of the fact that Cui's mother had passed away and there was no evidence, destroyed the marriage certificate, and said that the marriage contract was verbal and there was no real evidence, and asked her to marry into the marquis's mansion as a concubine.

Later, something happened in Prince Yan's Mansion and Mrs. Shen broke off the engagement. Then she became Shen Du's legal wife.

Although he got what he wanted, he also angered Mrs. Shen.

During those three years in the Marquis' Mansion, she suffered a lot.

But at that time she loved Shen Du so much that she would be willing to endure the hardships.

She was just reborn and didn't want to waste God's kindness.

That's why he directly denied the engagement in front of Mrs. Shen.

Just consider it as saving both of their faces.

After returning from the cemetery, Cui Lingyi fell ill as soon as she entered the house.

My whole body was burning hot and I felt dizzy and confused.

The two maids, Bu Yun and Bu Se, wanted to call a doctor, but were stopped by her.

He fell ill on the night of the broken engagement. If the Shen family heard about it, some rumor might spread.

Now she doesn't want to have anything to do with the Shen family at all.

Fortunately, Cui's mother came from a family of imperial physicians, so she had some family knowledge. She picked up a prescription and drank it, then fell asleep in a daze.

In the dream, all I could see was Shen Du’s cold and stunning face.

He seemed very angry and shook her head vigorously.

"Ali, why don't you get married? Why don't you get married?!!"

She was shaken until she couldn't breathe, and when she woke up suddenly it was already dark outside.

A window was rattling in the wind, and when I looked at myself again, I was soaked.

Bu Yun and Bu Se rushed over upon hearing the noise, fixed the window, and changed her clothes.

Hearing the two people whispering about how the window was open, Cui Lingyi felt something in her heart and asked a question as if she was being controlled by a ghost.

"Did anyone come in while I was sleeping?"

"The young lady ordered us not to come in. Bu Se and I have been guarding outside, but we didn't see anyone." Bu Yun said affirmatively.

Cui Lingyi laughed at herself in her heart.

She was really crazy. Did she expect Shen Du to come and ask her why she didn't get married?

He doesn't love her, but I'm afraid he is very happy at this moment.

Can you be unhappy?

After all, it ended up being an annoying tail.

In the Marquis Zhongguo Mansion, in Madam Shen’s Chuyun Courtyard, Shen Du was sitting with an indifferent expression.

Mrs. Shen, who was sitting in the upper seat, looked very happy. She was holding a jade teacup in her hand and sipping it happily.

"Xiuzhi, this newly brewed tea is great. Let's use it to entertain the guests at the banquet in two days!"

Xiuzhi, who was serving on the side, responded with a smile.

"Yes, I remember. Madam has really taken pains to find a good marriage for the young marquis."

As he said this, he glanced at Shen Du.

Madam Shen also looked at Shen Du and continued, "That's right. Princess Baohua will also be at the banquet this time. We can't let her look down on our mansion..."

The two of them talked in unison for a long time, and then they saw Shen Du just sitting there, with no intention of responding at all.

Mrs. Shen's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Zhongfu, I've been to the Cui family before, but they don't want to marry me, so I can't do anything about it. You must be there at the banquet in three days and have a good chat with Princess Baohua. Don't ignore her. Did you hear me?"

It took Shen Du a long time to come back to his senses.

"what did she say?"

"She? Princess Baohua?" Mrs. Shen's eyebrows almost jumped to her forehead, "Of course she is happy..."

"What did she say?" Shen Du's voice was a little louder.

A pair of cold eyes glanced over, and Mrs. Shen's words were immediately stuck.

When Mrs. Shen realized that he was talking about Cui Lingyi, her face became even uglier.

"Didn't you go and ask around? She said she has no romantic feelings for you and treats you as her elder brother. As for me, Cui Lingyi is quite sensible. She knows that I despise her background..."

Before she could finish her words, Shen Du had already stood up and left like a gust of wind.
