Chapter 100 Lin Fuying’s Jealousy
Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Lin Fuying’s Jealousy
The next day.
When it was time to depart, Ye Yunting led Lin Fuying out of the War God Residence’s main gate only to find, aside from the bodyguards and the carriage, there was no sign of Chu Nanli. His expression darkened slightly.
"Where is Chu Nanli?"
Seeing the situation, Lin Fuying immediately said, "Oh, perhaps sister has forgotten and hasn’t woken up yet? Yingying will go and call for her right away."
While she said this, her feet remained firmly in place; she just shot a look to Dong Yue, who had come to see her off.
Dong Yue got the hint and quickly said, "Your Highness, let this servant go."
Ye Yunting’s face grew even more somber.
"If she cannot be punctual, then forget it."
The bodyguard outside the carriage hesitated, about to speak.
Just then, the curtain of the carriage window was lifted from the inside.
Chu Nanli revealed her face, as splendid as blossoming peach and plum trees, and with slightly parted red lips, she said, "This concubine has been waiting for quite some time."
Lin Fuying froze on the spot, her pupils reflecting the flamboyant yet elegant makeup on her face, instantly filled with jealous hatred.
Ye Yunting was also taken aback for a moment and pursed his lips, then nonchalantly said, "Let’s go."
He boarded the carriage first, seemingly forgetting about Lin Fuying behind him.
The moment he lifted the curtain to enter, he was nearly blinded by the captivating beauty of Chu Nanli.
A red robe adorned her body, its layered hem spreading out like waves with gold trim, and a black and gold brocade belt cinched at her waist, revealing her graceful figure.
Looking further up, her delicate face was flawless, radiating a beauty beyond compare.
This was the second time he saw Chu Nanli in a red dress.
In that instant, Ye Yunting thought of the scene on their wedding day.
On that day, Chu Nanli also wore a dress of red.
Her eyes curved into crescents, her demeanor bright and assertive.
At that moment, Chu Nanli raised an eyebrow, "Prince, have you seen enough?"
Ye Yunting came back to his senses, his gaze slightly narrowed, his expression obscured and dark.
"Prince, Yingying has not yet boarded," called out a soft and helpless voice from Lin Fuying outside.
It was then Ye Yunting realized he was blocking the carriage door, and after withdrawing his gaze from Chu Nanli, he turned and reached out a hand to pull Lin Fuying aboard.
All three sat in the carriage while Ye Yunting instructed the bodyguards to set off.
Lin Fuying did not speak after entering; she lowered her head, and the shadows concealed the jealousy on her face.
Cheap wench!
That damned cheap wench! She must have known what I was planning to do, that’s why she dressed in red, just to stand out in the crowd with that color!
That useless Dong Yue, why didn’t she find me a red dress! This yellow gown looks so plain compared to Chu Nanli!
And that wench’s face, too much like a vixen, damn it!
At this moment, the other two in the carriage were not distracted by her.
Chu Nanli’s eyes were downcast as if she were dozing off.
Ye Yunting also had his eyes closed, lost in thought.
When Lin Fuying lifted her head, suffused with hatred, she immediately noticed the two others’ matching actions and felt it was a slap in the face.
Immediately, she called out sweetly, "Prince, Yingying feels somewhat unwell."
Ye Yunting opened his eyes, concerned, "What’s making you uncomfortable?"
"I’m not sure if it’s because the fragrance in the carriage is too strong, but Yingying feels dizzy. The fragrance used by Yingying is personally prepared by Brother Wuhen and is not harmful to the body."
Chu Nanli opened her eyelids, her eyes filled with derision as she looked at Lin Fuying, clearly seeing through everything.
There were only two women in the carriage.
By saying that her own fragrance wasn’t problematic, Lin Fuying was implying that the fragrance on her own body was, wasn’t she?
"Don’t make baseless accusations."
"Chu Nanli!" Ye Yunting warned sharply.
Lin Fuying voiced her grievance, "Yingying did not say it was sister. But sister, you never used fragrance before, and due to nervousness in preparing to be present at the Spring Banquet, you might have overdone it. Would you like to go back and change into a dress that hasn’t been perfumed, to avoid offending the nobles at the banquet with the strong scent?"
"How thoughtful you seem, Lin Concubine," Chu Nanli retorted sarcastically. "If your words weren’t so steeped in implication, without the undertone of mockery that I’m inexperienced and overprepared, then perhaps I might have believed what you just said. Oh, yes..."
She scrutinized Lin Fuying from head to toe, her expression even more mocking, "Want me to go back and change into something less noticeable, afraid that I’ll be too eye-catching and steal your thunder? You can keep your petty schemes to yourself."
Ye Yunting frowned, displeased, "Chu Nanli! Do not misinterpret Yingying’s intentions with such suspicion."
