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

After finishing his shift, Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Gu Lianyun wanted to go to the newly opened restaurant to relax.

Before he had time to change his clothes, an attendant came in and said that the eldest daughter of the Cui family wanted to see him.

"The eldest lady of the Cui family? What does she want to see me about?" Gu Lianyun was very surprised.

"Miss Cui said it was about the Fourth Young Master's marriage."

Gu Lianyun frowned.

In his opinion, it would be inappropriate for Cui Lingyi, the eldest daughter of the Cui family, to ask for a meeting rashly.

But it’s still good to meet him.

Although it is a marriage of a bastard's son, it concerns his future career in officialdom, so it should still be taken seriously.

Gu Lianyun thought about it for a moment and then asked someone to invite him.

Not long after, Gu Lianyun, who always prided himself on being upright, was distracted for a moment when he saw Cui Lingyi, who was dressed in white and dancing gracefully towards him.

She has the air of a goddess, while all the other ladies are worldly.

So stunning!

Before he married into the Cui family, he had seen Cui Fangyi's portrait.

Just an average person.

But his own son fell in love with her, and Cui Zizhen was also the Minister of Rites, so it was not impossible for him to move up in career.

In addition, the Guanjun Marquis's Mansion was also interested in matchmaking, so he accepted the marriage.

But no one would have expected that Miss Cui, who had been abandoned by Cui Zizhen and was about to marry into Yue family, would have such an extraordinary appearance.

No wonder even someone like Shen Du had caused a lot of trouble for her before.

After calming himself down, Gu Lianyun spoke with an indifferent expression.

"You want to see me?"

Cui Lingyi had no idea that Gu Lianyun would feel this way, so she bowed politely.

"Cui Lingyi greets Master Gu. I have no choice but to ask for a meeting this time. I hope you will forgive me!"

Heart of beauty in everyone.

A delicate beauty is already lovable, especially when she is so polite.

Gu Lianyun's favorable impression of Cui Lingyi suddenly increased, so he told the attendant to serve tea.

After a while, the two finally got down to business.

"I heard that Miss Cui came here for my son's marriage. I am quite confused. Please explain clearly, Miss."

Cui Lingyi pursed her lips slightly and took out a document from her sleeve.

"Please take a look at this, sir."

The attendant at the side received a signal from Gu Lianyun's eyes and stepped forward to take the thing.

After seeing that it was a document of severing relationship, he froze for a moment.

"grown ups..."

When the thing was placed in front of Gu Lianyun, the atmosphere suddenly became a little stagnant.

"this..."

After seeing the contents of the document, Gu Lianyun had an unexpected look on his face.

"Please note the date on this document."

Cui Lingyi had nothing to hide, so she told everyone about leaving Shangjing and going to Xiancao Valley.

The focus is on the time she left, the time when Cui Zizhen broke off the engagement, the time when Cui Zizhen removed the record of breaking off the engagement, and the time when the Yue family incident was dealt with.

Who is Gu Lianyun?

As the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, he was praised by the late emperor when he first entered official career.

It is said that he is smart and capable and can be appointed as the governor of Kyoto.

With this kind of brain, one can naturally understand the twists and turns here instantly.

However, he did not lose his temper immediately. Instead, he found an excuse and took the attendant out.

Cui Lingyi knew that he had gone to find the official who handled the relevant affairs to verify it.

Sure enough, when the two came back not long after, Gu Lianyun was so angry that his nose and eyes were not eyes.

He slammed the table immediately.

"Cui Zizhen is such a jerk. He actually played this trick of marrying a woman to two men. I was actually fooled by him!"

"If I become a relative of such a person, I will be killed sooner or later!"

Seeing that her goal was achieved, Cui Lingyi smiled slightly.

"Master Gu, there is no need to be so angry. Right now, the situation has not gotten worse. As long as it is corrected in time, it will not have any impact on Master Gu."

"Without this hidden danger, your Excellency's career will naturally be prosperous and successful in the future."

Gu Lianyun was delighted to hear these nice words, but at the same time he also understood Cui Lingyi's intention.

——I have something to ask of him.

With a simple thought, he understood.

Cui Lingyi had even rejected Shen Du’s engagement, so how could she marry into the Yue family, a family of criminals who were facing calamity at any time!

But as the prefect of Jingzhao, he was in charge of the people of Kyoto, so it was not convenient for him to interfere in such matters.

It’s better to stay as far away from this kind of help as possible.

Thinking of this, Gu Lianyun took a serious attitude.

"Miss Cui must be here because she is dissatisfied with the marriage of the Yue family. However, what Miss Cui told me seems to be of no benefit to this matter."

Cui Lingyi had already expected him to say this, so she was not in a hurry when she heard it.

He took out several more deeds and a document.

Again, "Please look at this, sir!"

Gu Lianyun's face was full of suspicion.

After seeing the names on the deeds and the promises made in the documents, his tiger eyes suddenly widened.

"Where did you get this?!"

As the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, he naturally knew how serious the matter was.

Although the Yue family has fallen.

However, the eldest and second sons of the Yue family are still imprisoned in the Sky Prison and have not received any further punishment.

On the one hand, it was because Emperor Wen was kind and benevolent, and he took into consideration Empress Yue's years of hard work and could not bear to kill her.

Second, the Yue family had already made preparations before the incident.

Some of the incriminating evidence was disposed of in advance.

For example, the transfer document of the operating rights of an underground bank in your hand.

From a legal perspective, this underground money house and all the dirty stuff behind it have nothing to do with the Yue family.

Instead, it is borne by the current operator Cui Zizhen.

Therefore, when investigating the Yue family, these things were not found out.

But in fact it is not the case.

This underground money house has been operating for many years. In addition to its headquarters in Shangjing, it has branch dark webs in all major cities.

If you want to keep it running smoothly, you must operate it for many years.

Apart from the various shopkeepers, both big and small, all slightly important positions were handled by his trusted confidants.

The forces are so intertwined that it is difficult for an outsider to get in.

To put it bluntly, Cui Zizhen was just someone the Cui family temporarily brought in to take the blame.

If the Yue family rises one day, they can deal with Cui Zizhen at any time.

Of course, Cui Zizhen certainly didn't think about these things when he took on this huge wealth.

By the time the Yue family incident happened, it was too late for him to regret.

You can only keep going forward and never turn back until you hit a wall.

From this, it can be seen that the Yue family's proposal of marriage was planned long ago.

At the same time, they have transferred an unknown amount of risk by using this method.

No wonder so much gold, silver and treasures were moved out of the Yue family, and most of them could not be traced back to their origins.

Gu Lianyun was calculating and weighing the options rapidly in his mind.

There is no doubt that this is a case that can reach the heavens.

Once it is handled, he will really be able to rise to the top in one step and have one foot in the cabinet.

But such a big thing was really too much for him to accomplish with just his official position as the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.

But he didn't want to give away such a great credit. Wouldn't that be a benefit to others?
