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

At Cui's house, Cui Zizhen had already brought the silver, a whole box of banknotes.

Cui Lingyi counted it and found the total amount was fifty thousand taels.

"Dad, this dowry list is worth 66,000 taels, and you only give me this much?"

Cui Zizhen squeezed her hands and said, "Lingyi, this is all I have left..."

Cui Lingyi sneered, "That's right, your pocket money is neat and tidy, without even a tiny change? I'd like to ask which lender is so good that it can make such an account."

As he said this, he threw the box on the table and pretended to go out.

Cui Zizhen hurried forward to stop her, smiling and saying, "Lingyi, can't you just ask for less?"

"No! Sixty-six thousand, not a cent less!"

"How did you become like this, kid?" Cui Zizhen stuffed his hands into his sleeves with a painful look on his face, but was reluctant to take them out.

Cui Lingyi stared at him coldly, "How about switching my marriage with Cui Fangyi and letting her marry into the Yue family?"

"How can that be good? The Yue family recognizes you."

"Then take it out!" Cui Lingyi took the box and stretched out her right hand.

The muscles on Cui Zizhen's cheeks trembled like a sieve, and he finally took out a roll of silver bills from his sleeve.

Cui Lingyi counted and said, "Not enough, there are still three thousand missing!"

"Dad is really gone!" Cui Zizhen shook his sleeves helplessly.

"Then give me those two large farms of one hundred mu in the suburbs of Beijing, and also give me a shop."

"A farm? A hundred acres?!" Cui Zizhen almost jumped up! "That farm is worth 2000 taels!"

"I know!" Cui Lingyi nodded. "Doesn't my father plan to add makeup to his daughter? If people heard this, they would probably laugh their heads off!"

"Then I'll give you the grain shop on West Street, and a farm. That'll be all right, right?"

"That won't work. As I recall, that farm was also my mother's property. You lied to her and said you wanted to give her a gift, so you took it away. How about we go to the government office to check the records..."

"Okay, okay, okay, all for you, all for you!" Cui Zizhen stomped his feet, looking extremely angry.

"Aunt, didn't you hear my father asking for the land deed and the house deed? Go get them quickly!" Cui Lingyi glanced at Li Huaniang who was staring at him the whole time.

Li Huaniang glanced at Cui Zizhen and saw that he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, so she ran to get the things.

Soon, the house deed and land deeds were in hand, and Cui Lingyi finally had a smile on her face.

"Just right. Dad, it's still early today, let's go to the government office and change everyone!"

"Ah, so fast?"

At this moment Cui Zizhen felt something was wrong.

Just take the silver. He can find a chance to change it all into waste paper anyway!

Dowry can also be changed!

But it’s hard to get the contractor back now that he has changed!

"My daughter, why are you in such a hurry? It will take some time to prepare the dowry."

Cui Lingyi nodded, "Yes, that's why we have to get it done today because we won't have time once we get busy!"

After saying that, he pulled Cui Zizhen's sleeve and walked out!

At this moment, Butler Cui came running over in a hurry.

"Master, Master, something bad has happened..."

Cui Zizhen hurriedly broke away from Cui Lingyi, "What happened? I'll take care of it!"

Butler Cui glanced at Cui Lingyi and said, "Young Marquis Shen is here and wants to see the eldest lady!"

Cui Zizhen froze for a moment.

"What is he here for?"

Cui Lingyi sneered, "Dad, aren't you going to deal with it? I won't see him, go out and deal with it!"

"Well, the person he wants to see is you, how can Dad have the nerve to go..." Cui Zizhen hurriedly refused.

"Why are you embarrassed? Didn't you accept the betrothal gift from the Yue family just because you said so?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Zizhen was so anxious that she wanted to cover her mouth.

"...Shen Du can't hear this! Don't you know that he and the Yue family are at odds?"

"Then come with me to the government office to change the contract!" Cui Lingyi grabbed Cui Zizhen's arm to prevent him from escaping.

"Oh my, how disgraceful! Can't Dad go with you?"

Cui Zizhen broke free from his arms and fumbled with her hair and clothes.

Compared to facing Shen Du, he would rather give up some of his material possessions.

That's the evil spirit!

Now that he has come again, who knows what he is going to do?

If he still has feelings for Cui Lingyi and knows the inside story of his engagement with the Yue family, he will be skinned alive.

Now we just have to wait for Cui Lingyi to marry into the Yue family, and everything will be settled.

By that time, he had almost gotten close to the cabinet ministers.

I guess Shen Du wouldn’t dare to do anything!

Besides, once he goes out, he might find another opportunity not to go to the yamen!

Thinking of this, Cui Zizhen wanted to thank Shen Du for coming.

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw Shen Du standing like a bamboo.

It’s just that this bamboo grows in a cold and gloomy place in the dark night, and it naturally has an intimidating aura.

"Why is the Marquis here? I am sorry for not hosting you well. I hope..."

Cui Zizhen forced himself to step forward and say hello, but unexpectedly Shen Du had no intention of paying any attention to him. Instead, he looked directly at Cui Lingyi.

"Ali, I have something to tell you."

"I'm busy! Commander Shen, please go back!" Cui Lingyi walked out without looking around.

Shen Zizhen hurriedly followed, still apologizing, "Young Marquis, I have something to do first, and I will apologize later."

The father and daughter left the house and got on the carriage, only to find that Shen Du had followed them.

He followed the carriage on horseback all the way and showed no intention of leaving.

Cui Zizhen was a little dumbfounded.

"Daughter, look at this...it's not good for him to follow us!"

How can he run away?!

Cui Lingyi narrowed her eyes, "Then you go and chase him away?"

She knew too well about this father's character.

If she doesn't change the owner of the contract today, she will get the farm and the shop for nothing.

It seems like a good thing that Shen Du is following?

Then let him follow!

Anyway, he did it voluntarily.

"Then I dare not..." Cui Zizhen said embarrassedly.

He originally wanted Cui Lingyi to drive Shen Du away.

But when he saw that she didn't want to talk to Shen Du at all, he felt a lot happier.

"Daughter, are you really planning to have nothing to do with the young marquis?!"

"Correct."

"But Dad thinks he still has something for you..."

"What could it be? Are you afraid of promising me to the Yue family?"

"What is there for Dad to be afraid of? I am your father, can't I decide your marriage?"

"Just admit it!"

Cui Zizhen was confused by this, "What do you mean by admitting it?"

At this time, the carriage stopped and Steward Cui called out from outside, "Master, Miss, we've arrived at the government office!"

Before Cui Zizhen could ask what "admitting the fault" meant, Cui Lingyi had already jumped off the carriage.

He saw Shen Du's horse was right in front of him, and a pair of black eyes were staring at him.

Shen Zizhen also hurriedly got off the carriage and followed him into the yamen.

Things went exceptionally smoothly.

When the officials saw Shen Du following behind them, they didn't say a word and just picked up their pens to sign and stamp their seals.

It took less than a cup of tea to complete the house deeds and land deeds for the two farms and the grain store.

Looking at her name and the dignified official seal on the contract, Cui Lingyi almost jumped up and laughed three times!
