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

Marquis Zhongguo Shen Sheng was sitting on a chair beside the bed, playing the flute seriously.

When she heard him come in, she didn't open her squinted eyes and continued to play the flute happily.

Finally, when the music faded away, he looked at Shen Du.

"Your mother likes to hear this. She won't be happy if you don't finish it."

After saying that, the father and son looked at the woman on the bed together.

"Mom." Shen Du called out, with a rare tenderness in his voice.

The woman seemed reluctant to see him coming and turned her head away.

Seeing this, Shen Sheng stood up, put the flute in his hand aside, walked to the bed and tucked the quilt for the woman.

"Yan'er, let your son accompany you. I'll go see if the porridge on the stove is ready. Today's porridge is your favorite pear porridge."

The woman still didn't turn back. Shen Sheng nodded to Shen Du and went out.

"Mom, after all this time, you still don't want to talk to your son?"

Shen Du sat down beside the bed and didn't speak for a long time.

The woman on the bed finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned to look at him, but never said a word.

"Mom, I saw Ah Li last night."

A light flashed in the woman's eyes, and she looked at him more anxiously.

"She's fine. She has grown up a lot and is a little disobedient now." Shen Du said, reaching out to tidy up the woman's hair.

"But don't worry, mother. Ah Li will marry into your family sooner or later. When the time comes, she will come to see you often..."

Hearing this, the woman shook her head violently, tears welling up in her eyes.

Shen Du pursed his lips, wiped away her tears with his fingers, and changed his words, "...Since mother doesn't want to, son won't tell her. Mother will take good care of you here."

The woman blinked and nodded slightly.

As if she had thought of something, the woman widened her eyes again and shook her head at Shen Du.

Shen Du looked at it quietly for a while, then finally frowned and agreed.

"Mom, don't worry, I won't let that woman die so easily."

"I know you want to say that she is my biological mother, who raised me, provided for my education, and did her best for me..."

"Mother," he pursed his lips and sighed, "If she hadn't interfered, my son would have married Ah Li."

"Mom, sometimes I think that I would rather be a bastard and grow up under your knees, even if I don't have any education and can't be a noble or a prime minister..."

Seeing the woman on the bed shaking her head again and tears as big as beans rolling down her cheeks, Shen Du hurriedly reached out to wipe them away.

"I know, my son knows. My son will listen to you and recognize that woman as his mother..."

At this time Shen Sheng came in with a bowl of porridge in his hand.

Seeing this situation, he glared at Shen Du.

"Okay, go now. Every time you come here, your mother cries for half the night."

Shen Du watched the woman on the bed stop crying before he got up and left.

"Mom, I'm leaving."

As I walked onto the path, I heard Shen Sheng's voice behind me.

"Adu."

"father."

"Did you deal with that woman today? Don't go too far. If she dies, it will just cause more trouble. When you get married in the future, you need someone to take care of everything."

Shen Du turned his head away and said, "You are worried that someone will ask you to marry a second wife!"

"Just take it as it is!" Shen Sheng sighed, "At least don't cause any trouble. This is also what your mother meant..."

Shen Du stopped talking and turned away.

Looking at the receding figure, Shen Sheng let out a long sigh.

"Why is he still so cold? It would be strange if he could get married."

He turned around and went back to the Buddhist hall, picked up the woman on the bed and put her down, letting her sit on the cushion behind him.

"Yan'er, the temperature is right. Come on, open your mouth."

The woman shook her head and a hoarse, unpleasant sound came out of her half-open mouth.

"Adu...is...not...happy..."

"Don't worry about him. He's already such a grown-up, why do you still care whether he's happy or not?"

Shen Sheng said this, scooping a spoonful of porridge and bringing it close to her lips.

The woman opened her mouth and swallowed it, then said, "You... help him."

"Got it. I'll talk to him later."

"Ah."

......

It was not until Shen Du arrived at the Imperial City Office that he learned that Cui Lingyi had returned to the Cui Mansion.

He wanted to follow her immediately, but when he thought of her cold look that day, he felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing Jiulie walking by with a stack of documents, he hurriedly called out to him.

"come here!"

"What do you want, sir?" Jiulie ran over quickly.

"How can I make a woman not angry?"

Hearing Shen Du's unreasonable words, Jiulie was stunned for a moment, and then immediately thought of Cui Lingyi.

"Your Excellency is going to Cui's house, right? Why don't you buy some rouge, powder, snacks and fruits? Girls all like these."

Shen Du nodded, "Which kind of rouge and powder does she like?"

Jiulie was overwhelmed. "Sir, how can I know about this matter? Why don't you go and ask Miss Cui in person?"

"Waste!" Shen Du waved his hands and suddenly remembered something, "Call Buddha's Hand over."

"Yes."

Jiulie left quickly.

After a while, Buddha's Hand came over, but before he could greet him, he saw Shen Du had already stood up from behind the desk.

"go!"

Buddha's hand was confused, "Sir, where are you going? What's your mission?"

"Cui Mansion."

Cui Mansion?

Buddha's hand understood now.

Her parents must have been worried about being kicked out, so they brought her along to be a peacemaker.

But she felt it seemed to be of no use.

I thought so in my heart, but didn't dare say it out loud.

The two men, each riding a horse, went towards Cui's mansion, one in front and one behind.

Suddenly Shen Du turned to Zhenbao Street and stopped his horse at the entrance of Beauty Pavilion.

Beauty Pavilion specializes in women's business.

Here you can buy all the most expensive, newest and most prestigious things in Beijing.

Rouge, powder, ready-made clothes, shoes and socks, jewelry...

Buddha's hand couldn't help but nodded secretly.

——The master in my family is finally willing to spend time and energy thinking about a woman.

This is a good phenomenon!

Shen Du got off his horse but did not go in. He threw a bag of silver over and said, "Go in and buy whatever she likes!"

Buddha's Hand then came to his senses and realized that he was not going in!

Then why bother giving a gift? Just come empty-handed!

"Sir, it would be more meaningful if you personally choose the gift for Miss Cui!"

Shen Du frowned, "How do I know what she likes?"

Buddha's hand twitched the corner of his lips.

Does she just know?

"Go!"

The Buddha’s hand is speechless.

Seeing Shen Du going to the teahouse opposite, I knew he had no intention of going in.

Then he thought that it was a rare thing for his master to know about the Beauty Pavilion, so he shook his head.

No wonder Cui Lingyi said she didn’t want to love him anymore.

A man like this can put out the fire even if you throw it on him!

After entering the Beauty Pavilion, she picked out a few things that Cui Lingyi usually liked, bought some, and came out soon.

"Is that all?! Not enough money?!" Shen Du looked at the thing in her hand with disdain.

"Sir, this is your first time giving Miss Cui something! Plus, there was a misunderstanding between you two before. If you rashly give her too many things, Miss Cui might not accept them."

Shen Du thought about it, nodded slightly, and took the thing.

"Let's go back!"

After saying this, he mounted his horse and rode away like the wind.

Buddha's hand was surprised.

Doesn't she need to talk about it?

With her around, who knows, Cui Lingyi might accept the gift!
