My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 176 - 177: Cooperation

Yang Shu looked down at Chu Nanli with a haughty air.

Her maternal family’s power, coupled with years of favor from the emperor, had nurtured an arrogant and domineering character.

Even now, as a mother, despite a certain dignified authority, she still hadn’t shed her disdainful habits deep in her bones.

Chu Nanli thought she indeed wanted Ye Yunting to let go, so she nodded.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shu laughed sarcastically, looking at Chu Nanli with derision in her eyes.

"What makes you think I would help you? You are nothing but a lowly commoner who has repeatedly disrespected me. It’s generous of me not to have Yunting divorce you on the spot!"

Faced with Yang Shu’s mocking disdain, Chu Nanli showed no emotion but simply said, "Princess Consort, I actually want you to persuade Ye Yunting to divorce me immediately."

Yang Shu was startled, then slowly realized what Chu Nanli was suggesting.

She furrowed her brows, somewhat incredulous.

"Chu Nanli, are you attempting to use reverse psychology?"

Thinking that Chu Nanli’s statement might be intended to irritate her, Yang Shu’s face darkened instantly as she was about to explode, but then she saw Chu Nanli nodding seriously.

"I truly want to divorce Ye Yunting."

Seeing the sincerity in Chu Nanli’s demeanor, Yang Shu grew even angrier.

"You want a divorce? Do you think you deserve it?"

"Chu Nanli, our Yunting is a prince decorated with military honors, and you, with your lowly status, what gives you the right to speak of divorce? Do you even qualify?"

In her eyes, Chu Nanli was like a mere ant, while Ye Yunting was a noble War God. For her to have married him was a stroke of ancestral luck.

She should have been clinging desperately, crying and begging not to let go; how could she presume to reject her own son?

"Who initiated it is not important." Chu Nanli hooked her lips, "I think, Princess Consort, that you might well seize this opportunity."

"Otherwise, what if I change my mind one day and cling to him relentlessly? That would shatter your dream of having Yunting marry a Noble Lady into the War King Residence."

Chu Nanli spoke softly with a cold laugh, her tone also carrying a hint of threat.

Yang Shu immediately grew furious, yet was unable to refute.

Seeing her rendered speechless, Chu Nanli’s lips slightly curled up as she continued.

"After all, you don’t like me, a person of no status. Why don’t we collaborate, and you have Yunting divorce me?"

Yang Shu squinted her eyes, "Rather than divorcing you, wouldn’t it be easier to just kill you? If you were dead, Yunting could naturally remarry, and it would save the War King Residence from disgrace."

Chu Nanli shook her head, "You won’t, even though my status is low, for the legitimate wife of the Prince to die in prison wouldn’t cast you in a favorable light if word got out."

Seeing Chu Nanli so undaunted by her threats, Yang Shu’s expression changed repeatedly, finally snorting coldly, "Speak then, how shall we cooperate?"

"You only need to say that I am infertile," Chu Nanli said.

"You are infertile?" Yang Shu asked doubtfully.

"Not really, but if I were infertile, it would count as one of the ’seven outs,’ and you could have Yunting divorce me," Chu Nanli explained.

Yang Shu was somewhat baffled by Chu Nanli for a moment.

To divorce Yunting, she was willing to tarnish her own reputation?

It’s known that if a woman is infertile, then she will be unwanted thereafter.

Chu Nanli doing this made her suspect that there might be another scheme.

But it seemed to hold no loss for her.

Yang Shu quickly weighed the pros and cons, then nodded, "Alright."
