My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 172 - 173: Investigating Xingshan Temple

After Chu Nanli finished giving instructions, she had Yanyan stand guard outside, while she herself wrote a letter.

There were no pens and inks in the cell, and the only modern pen she had in her space wasn’t the right kind for this task. Fortunately, Yanyan was clever and had brought pen and ink with her.

Once she had written the letter, she handed it to Yanyan with a stern reminder.

"You must hand this letter directly to Chu Yi, and tell him to start his investigation from the place mentioned in the letter, and quickly look into the matter of Xingshan Temple."

The issue concerning Xingshan Temple had been under investigation for a while without any leads.

This time, it was necessary to expedite the process.

The reason was nothing else.

It was mainly because her belly was showing more each day, and it was getting harder to hide in the cell.

She would try her best to conceal it, but it was very likely to be discovered.

She hoped to find evidence before being discovered, proving that the child was Ye Yunting’s.

Previously, Ye Yunting had suspected that she was pregnant with another man’s child and had mercilessly terminated the pregnancy.

But what if Ye Yunting knew that the child was indeed his own?

Even if he did not like it or want to acknowledge it, he would at least show mercy, as even tigers did not eat their offspring.

And if the child was proved to be of royal blood, Ye Yunting would not find it so easy to harm him.

"If Chu Yi encounters difficulties during the investigation, he can seek help from Boss Zhuang Lin," Chu Nanli thought for a moment and then added.

The truth behind the matter of Xingshan Temple was always elusive, likely due to numerous obstructions. Perhaps Zhuang Lin’s influence could be of use.

Later on, she would compensate Zhuang Lin with more special medicines as a token of gratitude.

Yanyan took the envelope and nodded solemnly.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will deliver the letter to Chu Yi tonight."

"But I’m really worried about you here."

As Yanyan spoke, her eyes reddened again.

Chu Nanli comforted her, "It’s okay, with all the things you’ve brought me, I won’t be cold or hungry."

"And I won’t be locked up here forever."

With that, Yanyan finally left, looking back three steps at a time.

After Yanyan left, Chu Nanli dressed a mannequin in her own clothes and placed it outside, then she slipped into her space.

She had been in a decent physical state today, but she had gotten angry with Ye Yunting upon her return.

She had already restrained her emotions for the sake of the baby, yet now she was experiencing stomach pains.

Chu Nanli hung an IV bag for herself again, but this time the pain worsened.

Two minutes later, Chu Nanli was sweating coldly from the pain.

But for the sake of the fragile fetus, she dared not use painkillers and had to endure the pain stoically.

Perhaps because she had spent a while in the dungeon and caught a chill, Chu Nanli’s lower abdomen was in increasingly excruciating pain, even showing signs of a miscarriage.

She had no choice but to forcefully swallow the bitterly tasting Fetal Protection Medicine.

Chu Nanli silently made another mark against Ye Yunting.

She hated that her current self couldn’t seek justice for the original host and the child.

She was still not powerful enough...

Chu Nanli calculated that after getting out, she would need to further expand her influence, contact her mother as soon as possible, and accelerate the divorce proceedings.

She had many things to do, so she couldn’t afford any problems with her health.

However, things don’t always go as planned.

She had only completed half of the IV when she heard footsteps outside her space.

Following that came Lin Fuying’s pretentious and affected voice.

"Oh my, how could Yunting brother be so cruel as to lock sister in a place like this!"

"Sister is really pitiable..."

"Dong Yue, have you prepared everything for sister, not missing a single item... If sister can’t eat well or sleep well here, I would feel so distressed..." Lin Fuying said with a smiling tone, full of lighthearted triumph.

Listening to the footsteps approaching, Chu Nanli frowned in irritation.

She looked at the unfinished IV drip, pulled out the infusion tube, tidied herself up, and then stepped out of her space, appearing inside the cell.
