Chapter 168: Chapter 169 Yang Shu’s Birthday

"Yes."

Dong Yue quickly walked toward Chuxiang Garden, and after a moment, returned to report.

"Reporting to the Prince, the Princess Consort has gone out and is not at Chuxiang Garden."

Ye Yunting’s aura instantly turned gloomy, "Where did she go?"

"This servant, this servant doesn’t know," Dong Yue stammered.

"Ye Yi, go check!" Ye Yunting ordered.

Lin Fuying secretly gritted her teeth, wasn’t Ye Yunting afraid of missing the auspicious time just to wait for Chu Nanli?

She wanted to urge Ye Yunting to leave first, but seeing his stern face, she did not dare to provoke him.

A moment later, Ye Yi returned in a rush.

Seeing the chilling, oppressive aura around Ye Yunting, he was unsure of how to report.

Convinced that no matter what, he could not deceive Ye Yunting, he told the truth,

"Prince, the Princess Consort and Master Zhuang went to the War King Residence together, apparently to discuss medical techniques with Elder Lin..."

Ye Yunting’s expression darkened immediately, his icy glare seemed capable of killing someone.

Lin Fuying felt delighted upon hearing that Chu Nanli had met Zhuang Muyan.

Wasn’t Chu Nanli seeking her own death?

"Prince, since she is visiting Elder Lin, let her be. Although sister has been meeting with Master Zhuang quite often, Yingying trusts her character... They must truly be discussing medical techniques."

Lin Fuying suppressed her gleefulness and spoke gently.

Ye Yunting, with a dark face, clenched his fists tightly, the sound of his bones creaking.

Ye Yi was startled by this noise, today’s Prince was terrifying!

Lin Fuying was also shocked, her eyelids twitched, and she said no more.

Finally, it was Ye Yi who stiffened his resolve and spoke up, "Prince, shall we depart first and not miss the auspicious hour?"

Ye Yunting did not say anything further and grimly got into the carriage.

Ye Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Concubine Yang Shu’s maternal family was extraordinarily powerful, and although she was no longer so favored, many prestigious families still attended her birthday.

After everyone had exchanged pleasantries and taken their seats, Yang Shu noticed Chu Nanli had not arrived and her face immediately soured.

"Yunting, where is your Princess Consort?" Yang Shu asked with furrowed brows.

Ye Yunting remained silent with a stern face.

Lin Fuying softly interjected from the side, "Replying to Mother Concubine, sister went to discuss medical techniques with the Imperial Physician today, thus she couldn’t come."

Yang Shu’s face immediately turned ugly.

"Outrageous, she skips my birthday to meet a man, I think this vile woman doesn’t respect me at all!"

The guests sensed something brewing.

It was clear to the discerning eye that this concubine was no simple character, speaking such words in such a setting was clearly an attempt to sour the relationship between Chu Nanli and Yang Shu, it would only shame the War God Residence.

The guests did not expect Yang Shu to disregard Chu Nanli so publicly, expressing such unpleasant words in front of them.

Tsk, with such fumes and fog within the War King Residence, trouble was bound to arise eventually.

However, they would not say more, instead eagerly watching the unfolding drama.

Seeing that she easily stirred up Yang Shu’s dissatisfaction with Chu Nanli, Lin Fuying felt secretly pleased, yet she pleaded on behalf of Chu Nanli.

"Sister must have her difficulties, Mother Concubine, do not be angry, today is your birthday and you should be happy," Lin Fuying counseled, truly appearing understanding and reasonable.

Yet, the discerning eye could see through her scheming.

Listening to Lin Fuying put it that way, Yang Shu realized she had been overly emotional.

But Chu Nanli’s actions were clearly a slight against her!

Remembering how Chu Nanli used to curry favor, and then recalling her recent disrespect at the palace, Yang Shu found her daughter-in-law increasingly intolerable.

"Ah, this daughter-in-law of mine has become too capable, having her own opinions, let her be. Let’s not talk about her anymore," Yang Shu, realizing she shouldn’t lose her composure in front of the guests, refrained from further accusations against Chu Nanli.

But her sarcastic remark made her displeasure with Chu Nanli clear to everyone.

After the banquet, Yang Shu took Ye Yunting aside and vented fiercely.

"That vile Chu Nanli embarrassed me greatly today, you must divorce her tomorrow!" Yang Shu raged.
