My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage

Chapter 184: Chapter 185 Fatal Blow

However, Concubine Yang Shu had no intention of telling Chu Nanli that Ye Yunting didn’t marry her out of affection.

It was merely because he wanted a wife of low status...

She knew that Chu Nanli loved Ye Yunting deeply and cared a lot about his love.

"It’s nothing."

Concubine Yang Shu pressed her lips together and said no more.

She planned to keep this truth to herself, to deliver a fatal blow to Chu Nanli at the right moment.

Seeing that Concubine Yang Shu hesitated to speak, Chu Nanli’s almond eyes showed a faint depth of meaning.

Could it be that there had been hidden reasons behind Ye Yunting’s decision to marry the original host?

But if it wasn’t to fulfill a prior promise, out of so many noble ladies in the capital, why did he marry the "powerless" original host?

Chu Nanli couldn’t figure it out and decided not to think about it anymore.

The pressing matter at hand was to hurry and divorce.

Just as she was about to ask Ye Yunting why he hadn’t agreed to the divorce that day, the door was knocked on.

Lulu walked in, bowed slightly, "Your Highness, Concubine Lin has arrived."

Concubine Yang Shu frowned.

She was already annoyed about how to handle Chu Nanli, and now Lin Fuying showed up for what?

"Let her in," Concubine Yang Shu said impatiently.

Chu Nanli, seeing that she couldn’t get anything out of the conversation today, said, "Then I shall leave first."

Concubine Yang Shu’s brows furrowed, and after a moment, she said, "Mhm."

It seemed that Chu Nanli truly wanted to divorce.

But that son of his stubbornly refused to agree.

"Greetings, Mother Consort."

As Concubine Yang Shu was pondering, Lin Fuying walked in gracefully with measured steps.

Lin Fuying performed a standard courtesy before her, and her poised figure and demeanor filled Concubine Yang Shu with satisfaction.

She recalled that Chu Nanli, except for the wedding day, had never formally paid her such respect.

Her recent attitude was even more defiant and unrestrained, completely disregarding her as the Mother Consort.

"Rise, Yingying knows the proper etiquette, unlike that barbaric Chu Nanli!" Concubine Yang Shu said sharply.

Lin Fuying, hearing herself praised and Chu Nanli belittled, felt a surge of triumph in her heart.

Compared to that commoner Chu Nanli, Concubine Yang Shu was indeed more satisfied with her.

Laughing inwardly, she maintained a humble expression on her face.

"Thank you, Mother Consort, but you shouldn’t speak of Sister that way. She grew up among the common folk and naturally doesn’t understand the rules of the royal aristocracy. You should teach her more in the future."

Concubine Yang Shu had no desire to teach Chu Nanli; the more vulgar she was, the better, and it would be best if she disgraced Ye Yunting.

That way, Ye Yunting would have no choice but to divorce her.

"Enough, Yingying, there’s no need to defend that wicked woman," said Concubine Yang Shu with a displeased look, and then she changed the subject.

"What brings you here today?"

"Yingying doesn’t know how to say this..."

Lin Fuying put on a conflicted expression, and after a moment, as if making up her mind, she said, "I heard that Sister might be infertile, and I am very worried about her health, but I didn’t dare to ask her directly, fearing it would upset her."

"I heard that it was you, Mother Consort, who summoned the Imperial Physician to diagnose Sister, so I wanted to know about her health condition."

Concubine Yang Shu knew very well that Lin Fuying was inquiring whether Chu Nanli was truly infertile.

Although she knew that Chu Nanli was capable of bearing children, she had already agreed with Chu Nanli that they would claim she was infertile to outsiders.

Naturally, she couldn’t reveal the truth now, otherwise that would mean deceiving Ye Yunting, wouldn’t it?

"Chu Nanli’s health is in very poor condition; she is indeed infertile," said Concubine Yang Shu.

Even with such an answer from Concubine Yang Shu, Lin Fuying was still not at ease.

She trusted Bai Wuheng’s medical skills more.

Bai Wuheng had stated that with some care, Chu Nanli could recover and continue to bear children.

She absolutely couldn’t allow Chu Nanli to recover her health.

"Ah, what a pity," said Lin Fuying, deliberately showing a look of regret. "Mother Consort, aren’t we women living this life for our husbands and children? If one has no children, what will Sister do..."

"Sister is still so young... Mother Consort, we must help Sister."
