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

Cui Lingyi sneered repeatedly.

"Then we have to ask Madam Shen. The marriage contract clearly states that no matter how high your position as Shen Du is, I will always be his legal wife. But why did your mother let me enter the mansion as a concubine?"

"You must know about this important matter! Why do you pretend to be ignorant now?"

"My mother has passed away for many years. I believe that her original intention was to let me have real support, so she said those words to you."

"But if she knew about today's situation, she would definitely agree with my choice. So, Commander Shen, you should be satisfied now!"

"The answer is that you broke the contract, and I refused the marriage according to my mother's wishes, that's all."

Cui Lingyi blurted out all the words in one breath, feeling refreshed.

Didn't he keep saying that he was following her mother's last wishes?

Then just grant his wish!

Seeing a dazed look on Shen Du's usually cold face, Cui Lingyi felt extremely comfortable.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she quickly put on her clothes, got out of bed, and opened the door quickly.

"Commander Shen, please go back. Please don't come here again!"

"Ali, I didn't. I don't know anything about these things. Please listen to my explanation..." Shen Du finally became flustered.

He thought of many reasons, but he didn't expect it to be this.

——Damn it, how dare she? !

"Now you know." Cui Lingyi opened the door wide. "No need to explain. I don't blame you. Commander Shen, don't take it to heart."

"Please come back."

Finally, anger surged on Shen Du's face, and that familiar cold face returned.

"Ali, wait for me, I will give you an explanation!"

He left with a chill all over his body.

Cui Lingyi curled her lips slightly.

Go ahead and go and tease your mother!

What does it have to do with me?

She hadn't originally planned to tell this.

I always feel like it's asking for status.

But now that Shen Du has forced me to this point, this is all I can do.

Mrs. Shen is capable and strict with her son, so she should be able to stop Shen Du!

Just as I was about to close the door, I saw a lamp swinging in the yard.

In the dark night, a ball of light suddenly appeared and flickered. You can imagine how shocking it was.

Cui Lingyi was so frightened that her whole body tensed up and she quickly closed the door.

Just as she was getting scared, she suddenly heard two footsteps approaching from afar, and someone was calling her name.

"Ali..."

Hearing Feng Zhenzhu's voice, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the door.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Feng Zhenzhu and Shan Ya.

"Ali, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Cui Lingyi hurriedly invited the two of them into the house and turned on another light. "Why are you here?!"

"What are you talking about? Sister Shan Ya said she heard a man's voice in your yard and came to find me immediately."

Feng Zhenzhu looked her up and down and put her hand on her wrist.

"Let me see, you're not scared, are you?"

"I'm fine."

Cui Lingyi knew that she was worried, so she didn't refuse and took her pulse openly.

After a moment, Feng Zhenzhu withdrew her hand and nodded with satisfaction.

"It's not bad. The tonic I gave you was not in vain!"

Talking about what happened just now, Cui Lingyi did not hide anything and told her about Shen Du's sudden appearance.

Feng Zhenzhu slammed the table and said, "I knew it was him!"

Shan Ya had already gone out and checked on the servants in the side room.

When they came back they said everyone was fine, just unconscious.

Feng Zhenzhu got angry again after hearing this.

"This Shen Du is too outrageous. If he had just said openly that he likes you, loves you, and begs you to marry him, I would have believed that he was a real man!"

These words were somewhat blunt, and Cui Lingyi felt she couldn't bear to listen to them.

"Sister Pearl, don't say that. He came to ask about the engagement. I've made it clear, and he probably won't come again in the future."

Shan Ya was confused by what she heard.

"How many engagements are there? Isn't it all with the surname Yue? How did this Shen Du show up?"

Feng Zhenzhu also said, "Exactly, what's going on between you and Shen Du? You didn't explain it clearly last time, so why is he so persistent in holding on to the engagement?"

It's late at night and it's quiet, perfect for talking.

Cui Lingyi also felt unable to sleep, so she simply told him what had happened.

My thoughts go back to the night my mother passed away.

The dying mother covered her face and refused to let her look at him until her death.

But he took his last breath and showed her the marriage certificate.

"Ali, this is the last thing I can do for you. If the Shen family recognizes this marriage certificate, you can marry them. If they don't, you... you can..."

Before she could finish her words, her mother died.

Cui Lingyi sighed and ended her story.

"My mother must have expected this day to come, that's why she said that. Now that I think about it, rejecting this marriage is what my mother really wants."

Feng Zhenzhu already knew something about it, but it was the first time that Shan Ya heard it.

When she heard that Cui's mother entrusted her to Shen Du before her death, she actually cried.

"Your mother is so nice. Why didn't my mother arrange a marriage for me?"

This made Feng Zhenzhu and Cui Lingyi both laugh and cry.

"Ah Li, I support you. If Shen Du is not good, we should not have him. The world is so big, are you afraid of not being able to find a good man?!"

Feng Zhenzhu patted her chest with a proud look on her face.

"...You and Sister Shan Ya, don't worry, I'll take care of all your men. I promise to find you one with a good personality, money, free time, and good looks..."

Hearing that Feng Zhenzhu was going to promote her theory of finding a man again, Cui Lingyi hurriedly stopped her.

"Sister Pearl, let's go to bed first. Listen, the gong has struck three o'clock..."

"Yes, yes, go to bed first..."

Originally, Shan Ya wanted to stay and keep watch for her, but was persuaded to leave by Cui Lingyi.

She felt that Shen Du would not come back, at least not tonight.

If we want to find out about Mrs. Shen's matter, we have to wait until the next morning.

I guess by then Mrs. Shen would have used all sorts of principles and threatened to sacrifice her life, and Shen Du would have figured it out.

In fact, half of Cui Lingyi's guess was wrong.

After Shen Du returned from Li's house, he originally wanted to find his mother immediately to find out the truth.

But remembering that his mother never took responsibility for what she did, he decided to bring back the old nanny Xiuzhi.

So, Shendu went all the way to the Imperial City Bureau with a gloomy face, woke up the Imperial City Bureau envoys who were half asleep, and went to check the whereabouts of the old nanny Xiuzhi.

The imperial city officials thought Xiuzhi was a serious criminal involved in some major crime, so they attacked her with great enthusiasm.

As a result, I was dumbfounded when I saw the files.

Xiuzhi, was originally the old nanny beside Madam Shen? !

What are you looking for this person for?

But seeing the low pressure on Shen Du's body, no one dared to ask and hurried out to arrest him.

Xiuzhi is old and has been close to Mrs. Shen.

Anyone with a bit of status would not employ such a person.

Since being driven out of the Marquis' Mansion, he has been sold to several places.

Fortunately, I didn't leave Shangjing, so it was relatively easy to find it.

The Imperial City Envoy knocked on doors all night, starting from the first house and continuing all the way to the house where the man is currently working, before he brought the man back.
