Chapter 164 - 165: Don’t Push Your Luck

Chapter 164: Chapter 165: Don’t Push Your Luck

It was not until he met Chu Yi that Zhuang Muyan realized he had been drugged, and all of this was Lin Fuying’s tactic to frame his master.

Fortunately, his master was wise and turned the tables, seeking the testimony of Doctor Lin.

Otherwise, today, they would have inevitably been badly harmed by Lin Fuying.

Thinking that Chu Nanli was still living in such a perilous environment, Zhuang Muyan couldn’t help but worry.

"Uncle, my master must have suffered a lot in the War King Residence," Zhuang Muyan said with furrowed brows and a gentle voice.

Upon thinking of Chu Nanli’s cleverness, Zhuang Lin smiled and said, "Not necessarily, your master is much smarter than you."

Besides, Nanli was always under the protection of the greatly revered Jiuxiao.

He hadn’t intended to intervene in today’s affairs, but it was Jiuxiao, from thousands of miles away, who was worried and asked him to follow along.

Zhuang Muyan: "..."

After a moment of silence, he said, "Yes, my master is no ordinary person, yet she still has to suffer indignities in the Prince Residence. It would be good if we could take the master out of there."

Zhuang Lin was startled and stared directly at Zhuang Muyan, his distant cousin who was usually engrossed in medicine. When had he begun caring so much about a girl?

"You seem quite concerned about the War Princess Consort?" Zhuang Lin prodded.

Without much thought, Zhuang Muyan nodded and said, "Of course, the Princess Consort is my master."

Hearing his response, Zhuang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, glad that there were no other intentions.

On the other hand, Jiuxiao was still unclear about his feelings towards Chu Nanli...

How could this young cousin compete with the immensely powerful and renowned former Regent King?

War King Residence.

After Zhuang Lin and his group left, the room became much quieter, yet it was still a mess.

Ye Yunting furrowed his brows in irritation, then turned to leave.

Although Lin Fuying was not willing to give up, she had to, but just as she was about to leave, she heard Chu Nanli’s clear voice.

"Hold on, the Prince and the Concubine just had quite an outburst, and now you want to leave without saying a word?"

Ye Yunting slightly furrowed his brows, "What do you want?"

"Of course, those who should apologize must apologize, those who deserve punishment must be punished!" said Chu Nanli.

Hearing the mention of punishment, Lin Fuying panicked and quickly explained, "Sister, it was all a misunderstanding. Yingying did not mean to harm you, Yingying was just too worried about you..."

"You didn’t mean to harm me?"

Chu Nanli stepped forward to confront Lin Fuying, "Just now, Concubine Lin and your maid were repeatedly slandering me, suggesting that I was involved with Mr. Zhuang. Have you forgotten?"

"Perhaps, Dong Yue didn’t see clearly and guessed wrongly, maybe."

"Hah..." Chu Nanli scoffed, "Didn’t see clearly, yet you concluded that there was a man hidden in my chambers, and when nothing was found, you changed your story to say he had run away."

"How is it that whatever you say goes? If one day Concubine Lin randomly accuses me again of associating with a man, am I to be drowned in a pig cage?"

"Lin Fuying, ask yourself, since you came to the Residence, where have I wronged you that you should harm me this way?"

"Wuwu, sister, Yingying really didn’t have any bad intentions... Yingying was just worried that you had gone astray... Aah!" Lin Fuying, flustered and panic-stricken, backed away and then deliberately fell to the ground.

From Ye Yunting’s angle, it appeared as if Chu Nanli was aggressively approaching, driving Lin Fuying to the ground.

"Chu Nanli, enough! Don’t push your luck!"

Ye Yunting shoved Chu Nanli aside and scooped Lin Fuying up from the ground.

"If you weren’t so indiscreet, spending your days with that pretty boy, how could Yingying have misunderstood you?"

"Yingying had good intentions, yet you shamelessly show no remorse!"

"I command you, from this day forth, to cease all contact with that Zhuang, lest you commit some shameful act that disgraces me!"
