Chapter 130: Chapter 131 Lin Fuying Becomes Suspicious

"My Lady, given your current condition, I am really worried that one day the Prince and others will discover it."

Yanyan poured a cup of hot water for Chu Nanli, watching her struggle to suppress her nausea with a look of concern.

Chu Nanli gave a bitter smile and said, "I am worried too. But in this situation, worry is useless. We can only take things one step at a time and try to gain the means to separate from Ye Yunting before I start showing signs of pregnancy, and leave the War God Residence."

Yanyan nodded vigorously.

"Wherever you go in the future, I will follow."

The two of them were having this confidential conversation, unaware that a plot against Chu Nanli was already brewing.

...

"Brother Wuhen!"

Lin Fuying ran into Bai Wuheng’s courtyard like a light and lively swallow.

Bai Wuheng was in the courtyard, gathering dried herbs; seeing her run over, his expression changed and he quickly went to help her.

After he steadied her by gripping her arm and making sure she wouldn’t fall, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your body is weak, such vigorous activity is unsuitable; if you had fallen, Yunting would likely blame me."

Lin Fuying retorted playfully, "How could that be? The Prince would not be angry. Besides, Yingying’s health has improved a lot, Brother Wuhen. You personally helped me recover; if you can’t trust Yingying, you should at least trust your own medical skills."

Bai Wuheng chuckled softly, his eyes lingering on the woman’s delicate and charming face, her praises for his medical skills echoing in his ears. However, his mind suddenly flashed back to Chu Nanli saying at the palace that he knew nothing about medicine.

In an instant, the smile vanished from his face, and he felt an inexplicable irritation.

"Brother Wuhen, what’s wrong?" Lin Fuying asked, puzzled.

For some reason, she felt that in that moment, the person next to her suddenly seemed very distant.

"It’s nothing." Bai Wuheng regained his composure, skillfully changed the subject, and asked, "Did Yingying come here for a reason?"

Hearing this, Lin Fuying’s eyes flickered, feigning curiosity, "Just now, Yingying passed by Chuxiang Garden and saw sister seemingly suffering from morning sickness, but sister clearly..."

Lin Fuying bit her lip, looking very worried.

"What Yingying is mainly afraid of now is that sister might have some lingering effects from the body; then Yingying would truly be guilty."

Bai Wuheng, hearing something related to Chu Nanli, couldn’t help feeling distressed, yet he couldn’t show coldness to Lin Fuying, so he simply comforted her, "After an abortifacient, there shouldn’t be symptoms of morning sickness; she probably just ate something wrong."

Bai Wuheng didn’t take it seriously.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fuying’s suspicions were not dispelled, and she even felt somewhat unreconciled.

She had personally seen the bloody state of that despicable fetus in Chu Nanli’s stomach; there was no way Chu Nanli hadn’t aborted.

Therefore, she suspected Chu Nanli had hooked up with some illicit lover, and was pregnant again.

Only...the time interval seemed too short, almost impossible.

Thinking of this, Lin Fuying couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Wuhen, how long after pregnancy does morning sickness occur?"

Bai Wuheng was startled, then turned his head to ask her, "Yingying, this is..."

Realizing he had misunderstood, Lin Fuying’s face turned red and she said, "It’s not Yingying, Yingying was just thinking about becoming a mother in the future too, and wanted to understand."

Bai Wuheng looked at the charming and shy woman before him, a trace of disappointment crossed his heart, but he quickly let it go.

Yingying and Yunting were devoted to each other; he should be happy for them.

Gathering his thoughts, he calmly replied, "Generally about forty days."

Lin Fuying’s brows furrowed.

That timing simply didn’t match.

"What’s wrong? Yingying seems troubled."

"It’s nothing." Lin Fuying bluffed her way through, changing the subject, "Brother Wuhen, about the incident at the Spring Banquet in the palace, thank you for believing in Yingying."

She was sincere, her eyes clear: "Before the Spring Banquet, Yingying saw that poisonous Horsetail Grass here, but Yingying didn’t take any. When Yingying learned at the banquet that the Jade Consort was poisoned with Horsetail Grass, and sister also began to suspect Yingying, Yingying was terrified. I was worried about being unable to defend myself, and also worried that Brother Wuhen would misunderstand Yingying."

Bai Wuheng hadn’t expected her to openly speak about this matter.

After returning from the palace that day, though they had seen each other at the residence, neither mentioned a single word about what happened at the Spring Banquet.

However, the matter of Jade Consort being poisoned with Horsetail Grass at the Spring Banquet had always been a doubt in his heart.

Now that Yingying brought it up voluntarily, his heart unexpectedly lightened, and the invisible barrier between them also vanished.

"I had no doubts about Yingying; we grew up together, both Yunting and I know what kind of person you are," he paused, his tone deepening, "Keep your distance from Chu Nanli, I fear her love for Yunting might cause you harm."
