My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage

Chapter 174: Chapter 175: Adding Insult to Injury

Chu Nanli spoke, and once again tightened her grip.

Lin Fuying was truly frightened.

"Don’t go, please don’t."

"Sister, please forgive me, Yingying knows she was wrong."

Lin Fuying coughed and begged for mercy while doing so.

Seizing the moment during her coughing, Chu Nanli took a pill from her space and shoved it into her mouth.

"This is Qianji Poison. If you don’t take the antidote within two days, your bones will deform, your head and feet will fuse together, and you’ll die in agony," said Chu Nanli.

Lin Fuying’s pupils shrank. "What, what are you going to do..."

"If you do something for me, I will give you the antidote once it’s done. Only I have this antidote. If you don’t believe me, feel free to ask Bai Wuheng," Chu Nanli said.

At this point, Lin Fuying had no other choice but to nod in agreement.

"Fine, what is it? I will do whatever I can."

"Find a way to bring Princess Consort Yang Shu here. I have something to discuss with her."

Lin Fuying quickly nodded. "Alright, I’ll go right now."

Chu Nanli released Lin Fuying, and she couldn’t help but gasp for air.

Dong Yue carefully helped Lin Fuying catch her breath. After coughing for a while and giving Chu Nanli a glance, Lin Fuying left.

In her view, Chu Nanli was out of options.

Did she really expect Princess Consort Yang Shu to come to her aid?

Princess Consort Yang Shu considered her a thorn in her side, eager for Ye Yunting to divorce her as soon as possible.

So, going to Princess Consort Yang Shu on her behalf was quite fine with Lin Fuying.

After all, Princess Consort Yang Shu would not possibly help Chu Nanli.

It would be good enough if she didn’t kick someone when they were down.

Of course, Chu Nanli knew Princess Consort Yang Shu wouldn’t help her. Princess Consort Yang Shu had always looked down on her and had instigated their separation.

This was precisely the outcome that Chu Nanli wanted.

...

"Ye Yi, has the Princess Consort realized her mistake while in the dungeon?" Ye Yunting asked with a dark face in the study.

The whole afternoon, the slender upright back of Chu Nanli had flashed through his mind several times.

Ye Yi was at his wit’s end.

The Princess Consort’s stubborn look didn’t seem like she had admitted her faults at all.

However, thinking of the cold and filthy conditions of the dungeon, and picturing Yanyan’s tearful state, Ye Yi gritted his teeth and said, "The dungeon is damp and cold, the Princess Consort’s face looked bad when she was there."

He said this hoping the Prince would show some mercy and release the Princess Consort.

In his view, the Princess Consort hadn’t really done anything terribly wrong; it was the Prince who was making a mountain out of a molehill with his punishment.

Ye Yunting’s brow furrowed tightly, then he huffed coldly.

He was certain that Chu Nanli felt no remorse.

Seeing Ye Yunting’s expression, Ye Yi felt releasing her wasn’t likely.

He didn’t know how much longer Chu Nanli would be detained.

After all, he had found the conditions in the dungeon intolerable after just two days, let alone for a gentlewoman like the Princess Consort.

"Prince, I’m worried the Princess Consort’s health won’t withstand it," Ye Yi said after some thought, speaking candidly.

Ye Yunting slightly scowled, then said coldly, "Get Bai Wuheng to go check on her."

...

Bai Wuheng, upon hearing that Ye Yunting had once again locked Chu Nanli in the dungeon, couldn’t help but feel helpless.

He said nothing more and headed to the dungeon with his medicine chest on his back.

Chu Nanli had just finished the remaining half-bottle of medicine in her space and was feeling a bit better.

Nanny Hua watched Chu Nanli’s frail form and couldn’t help but feel heartache.

Her heart was made of flesh, after all.

She had harmed Chu Nanli, yet not only did Chu Nanli spare her life, but she was also so kind to her.

Chu Nanli, being such a good person, was not cherished by the Prince, who would one day regret it.

"Your Grace, please rest well here these next few days," Nanny Hua said gently.

Chu Nanli shook her head.

She certainly knew the space was safe, but she couldn’t always hide there.

She had to expedite the process of seeking a separation.

Only by getting away from this dangerous couple could she safely deliver her child.
