My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 166 - 167: Master Not Present

Chapter 166: Chapter 167: Master Not Present

On the way back, Ye Yunting’s mind kept uncontrollably flashing back to Chu Nanli’s hateful gaze.

Why would Chu Nanli hate him?

She had clearly liked him so much initially. No matter what he did before, she wouldn’t get angry, much less show such an expression.

It was clearly she who had not behaved as a wife should.

What right did she have to hate him!

Ye Yunting’s expression grew darker and darker.

Seeing that Ye Yunting looked upset, Lin Fuying couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty.

It was she who had framed Chu Nanli, although Ye Yunting hadn’t suspected her in the end. But could this make him dislike her, thinking she was just gossiping?

"Is the Prince angry with Yingying?" Lin Fuying tentatively asked.

"No," Ye Yunting said indifferently.

"That’s good." Lin Fuying said softly, "Yingying really didn’t mean it; it’s just that there was a misunderstanding with my sister this time, making her upset. I’ll prepare to apologize tomorrow."

"There’s no need to apologize to that venomous woman!" Ye Yunting said coldly.

Relieved by this, Lin Fuying relaxed.

However, although Ye Yunting hadn’t suspected her, she needed to eliminate the evidence of this incident as soon as possible.

That Xixi, already incompetent in handling things, now could definitely not be kept around.

...

After entering her space, Chu Nanli quickly gave herself an IV drip and drank some medicine to replenish her blood, gradually feeling better.

When she left her space, it was already the next day.

The medicinal supplements she had previously taken from Ye Jiuxiao were almost finished. She needed to obtain some new ones for herself.

The little creature in the incubator was also in a critical period, needing many valuable medicines as well.

It was really expensive.

Fortunately, the Bright Moon Building was now well-known, earning enough money to support her for a while.

After receiving some silver from Xinlian, Chu Nanli headed over to Old Wen’s medicine shop.

Since asking Old Wen to help find medicines, she hadn’t seen him for days and he had gathered quite a few new medicines.

This time, Chu Nanli returned fully loaded.

On her way back, she thought about visiting Ye Jiuxiao to check on his condition, but then she found out that he was not at the residence.

"Where has the Prince gone?" Chu Nanli asked.

The guard by her side hesitated, unsure whether he should disclose the Prince’s whereabouts to Chu Nanli.

Ye Jiuxiao’s whereabouts were always kept secret; they would not tell others.

But Chu Nanli was the Prince’s physician...

Just as the gate guard was struggling to decide, Ling, who was about to leave, spoke up, "The master has gone to Yun City at the border, there’s a business transaction there."

The guard was stunned. Had Ling just told her that?

Ling knew how important Chu Nanli was to Ye Jiuxiao, so naturally, he didn’t regard her as an outsider.

"Does the War Princess Consort need anything?" Ling asked.

"It’s almost time for the next acupuncture session. I wanted to check his physical condition, but since he’s not here, I’ll wait for him to come back," Chu Nanli said.

Ling hummed in acknowledgment, "I will remind my master."

"Hmm." Chu Nanli didn’t say much more and prepared to return to the Prince Residence,

On her way, she ran into Zhuang Muyan.

He waved at her from across the street and then walked over.

She recalled Ye Yunting’s warning, telling her not to interact with Zhuang Muyan anymore.

She didn’t intend to follow that.

Since she had accepted a disciple, she had to guide him properly. She couldn’t simply ignore Zhuang Muyan.

"Master, how are you? Did the Prince hurt you yesterday?" Zhuang Muyan asked with a concerned expression.

Chu Nanli shook her head, "I’m fine."

Zhuang Muyan was somewhat relieved. He had not slept well last night, thinking about the events of the day. It seemed the War God had misunderstood Chu Nanli because of him.

Concerned for Chu Nanli, but mostly feeling guilty, he said,

"Master, I’m sorry. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been slandered."

"In the future..."
