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

"How can you say that?" Cui Zizhen said embarrassedly, "It's obvious that the third son of the Yue family is deeply in love with you and sincerely wants to marry you..."

"Father, what other lies are you telling your daughter?"

Cui Lingyi interrupted him mercilessly!

"...I just want to know how much betrothal gifts did the Yue family give you when they first proposed marriage, to make you so devoted and willing to marry your daughter into that hell?"

She has been thinking about it over and over again these days.

When Yue's family came to propose marriage, her father had already agreed to break off the engagement and quickly got it done.

The proof of this was the severance document he brought home but did not have time to send to her.

Although the records in the government office have been deleted and all traces have been destroyed, the document of severing the relationship is real.

It's just that it's not in her hands now.

This shows that when Yue's family came to propose marriage, his father did not agree to the marriage on a whim.

Instead, he saw the huge benefits and decided to make Cui Fangyi the eldest daughter of the Cui family and replace her in marrying into the Yue family.

Then the problem is coming.

There are only two things that can make Cui Zizhen so unrestrained - money and power!

Now that the Yue family has fallen, Cui Zizhen naturally has no hope of a career in the officialdom.

But his father would rather tear up the contract than cancel the marriage. Even though the Yue family disagreed, the most important thing was probably what he accepted from the Yue family.

After returning to Shangjing, she had heard about the raid on Yue's family.

It is said that apart from the rare treasures that everyone sees, the hundreds of unopened boxes are all filled with gold and silver.

It is almost more than the gold and silver in the national treasury.

Before this, she secretly gave a sum of money to Butler Cui and found out about this matter.

When the Yue family came to propose marriage, it was done in a very secretive manner and they did not bring any betrothal gifts in a grand manner.

It was just that Duke Dingguo Yue Changfeng brought Yue Shuyan to the house, and after a secret conversation in the study, the marriage was settled.

Afterwards, the Yue family’s grandfather and grandson went to Xiancao Valley!

Although half of the reasons for all these are to guard against Shen Du, there must be other plans as well.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Cui Zizhen's face changed immediately.

"What are you thinking about? Although you were not there when the Yue family came, you will know that there was no betrothal gift! It's all because of what happened between you and Shen Du. The Yue family didn't make it public because they wanted to save face for you... Go and ask, which family dares to come to you to propose marriage? If it weren't for the Yue family, I don't think you would be able to get married?!"

Seeing Cui Zizhen avoiding the question and trying to cover up his ugly behavior, Cui Lingyi finally made up her mind to do that thing.

She said no more and pretended to be completely convinced by Cui Zizhen, and obediently agreed to Yue's family's request to get married as soon as possible.

Cui Zizhen left with satisfaction, but the two maids Bu Yun and Bu Se asked the question in unison.

"Miss, are you really going to marry Yue Shuyan?"

"What do you think?" Cui Lingyi curled her lips lightly.

The two maids looked at each other, and Bu Se said seriously, "If the young lady wants to get married, she might as well marry the young marquis!"

Bu Yun also nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, if the young marquis knew that the old master had secretly arranged the marriage, who knows what would happen?"

"No!" Cui Lingyi spoke up to stop the two from continuing.

"I've already told you that he and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. You must never tell him about these things!"

Bu Yun still looked unconvinced, "But, the young marquis might just say a few words and scare the Yue family into agreeing to cancel the engagement! Why should Miss make yourself suffer?!"

"No, I have my own arrangements for this matter, and the outcome will be clear soon. You just need to do your part! Do you understand?"

Seeing Cui Lingyi's solemn expression, the two maids didn't know what to say and could only nod in agreement.

"Got it, miss!"

At this time, the sun was setting outside and the sky was filled with red clouds.

The lush wisteria is sprouting its branches wildly and swaying in the wind.

A fragrant scent fills the air.

The atmosphere in the room was inexplicably stagnant.

Cui Lingyi sighed secretly, walked to the desk, and wrote a piece of paper.

"Bu Se, it's still early. Go to Li's house and give the letter to Sister Shan Ya and Sister Zhen Zhu."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Soon Bu Se came back and said that Shan Ya and Feng Zhenzhu knew everything and told her not to worry.

After dinner that night, Cui Lingyi told the maids and servants to go to bed early, and she returned to her room.

She lay quietly in bed until midnight, when she heard the sound of gongs and drums outside in the street and jumped up.

I put on a hood and just walked out of the yard, I saw a shadow coming down the wall from afar.

He is tall but very agile.

If not Shan Ya, then who else?

Cui Lingyi hurried over to greet him, "Did you have a smooth journey?"

"Don't worry, it's going smoothly!" Shan Ya responded in a low voice, "Ali, are we going over now?"

"Well, did you bring the medicine?"

"Bring it."

"Did Sister Pearl tell me how to use it?"

"Don't worry, I'm very good at this. I can make your father sleep like a dead pig in a minute!"

Cui Lingyi laughed, "I forgot that Sister Shan Ya is such a hero!"

"Hey, hey.....do you have a night watchman at home?"

"Yes, but they should all be asleep by now. When I came out last night, no one was there."

"You are so bold... If you had no other choice, you would not have planned to look for me and Sister Pearl."

"I want to handle it myself..."

"...Sure enough, it's exactly as Pearl said."

"hey-hey...."

The two of them whispered a few words and quickly headed towards Songhe Garden.

He didn't notice at all that Shen Du was standing silently in the darkness in the distance.

At this moment he was dressed in black, blending perfectly with the shadows.

If you don't have good eyesight, you will definitely not be able to see it.

Suddenly another shadow appeared beside him, waving a fan in his hand.

"What is Little Tail doing? Why are you calling a man to your yard in the middle of the night?"

Shen Du gave him an unpleasant look.

"What are you here for?"

"Aren't I just worried about you?" Xu Junyao didn't stop fanning himself.

"I always feel that there is something wrong with this girl named Shan Ya. She is too close to Xiaowei. I am really worried about you!"

Shen Du was silent for a moment, then walked towards Cui Lingyi.

If it were in the past, he would have strongly refuted Xu Junyao's words.

But now, he was completely unsure.

Just now, Cui Lingyi was indeed too close to that girl named Shan Ya.

She would never treat other men like this before...

If he hadn't had someone monitor the Li residence, he wouldn't have noticed that the two of them were meeting in the middle of the night...

For the first time in my life, I felt flustered.

"Zhongfu, slow down. If you go too fast you'll be discovered!"

Xu Junyao grabbed him.

Pull him into the shadow of the corridor.

Not far away, Cui Lingyi and Shan Ya were looking back over here.
