My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 185 - 186: Manipulating Her

Chapter 185: Chapter 186: Manipulating Her

Yang Shu gazed at Lin Fuying and narrowed her eyes, "How can you help?"

"Yingying heard that a woman’s inability to conceive might be due to a weakened body, and if the body is nourished back to health, she might be able to conceive again."

"Yingying specifically found a barefoot doctor who prescribed some secret formulas for nurturing for my sister..."

"But it seems like my sister doesn’t like Yingying. If Yingying gives her the medicine, she fears she won’t accept it."

Lin Fuying appeared distressed and spoke softly, "Could Mother perhaps give this medicine to my sister on my behalf?"

Yang Shu looked up at Lin Fuying, who appeared completely sincere and cautious, looking like she genuinely cared for Chu Nanli.

But how could Lin Fuying truly wish for Chu Nanli to recuperate?

She would love for Chu Nanli to never be able to conceive, so no one would compete with her.

Yang Shu, though domineering and loud, didn’t lack intelligence.

On the contrary, to have reached her position, apart from the power of her maternal family, she was also crafty...

She saw through Lin Fuying’s little schemes in an instant.

Lin Fuying wanted to use her to poison Chu Nanli.

Seeing Yang Shu staring at her without speaking, Lin Fuying felt somewhat guilty. Had Yang Shu seen through her intentions?

"Mother... Yingying truly wishes for my sister to get better. If it’s inconvenient for you, Yingying will find another way..." Lin Fuying said, looking upset.

Yang Shu’s expression changed.

She disliked Lin Fuying’s demeanor.

The little wretch who had stolen the Emperor from her side before was the same, always playing the victim to gain sympathy.

She thought Lin Fuying was alright, but only in comparison to Chu Nanli.

Chu Nanli, a low-born with nothing to her name, illiterate... utterly vulgar.

Lin Fuying, at least, was from the Prime Minister Residence, skilled in all arts suitable for a lady of quality.

But she was so petty, cunning, and just a concubine-born daughter.

Even if Chu Nanli were demoted, she would not support Lin Fuying as the principal wife.

Realizing this, Yang Shu sighed lightly.

"Since you mean well, Mother will help you if I can. But how do you know that once I deliver it, Chu Nanli will surely drink it?" Yang Shu asked.

"If Mother gives her the medicine, my sister will definitely drink it, for one must not decline a gift from one’s elder," Lin Fuying spoke gently.

Yet her thoughts were quite different.

Chu Nanli loved Ye Yunting so much, how could she refuse to honor Yang Shu?

She would be too eager to ingratiate herself.

If she knew Yang Shu had given her the medicine, she would surely be profoundly grateful.

Moreover, if she refused the medicine from Yang Shu, Ye Yunting would undoubtedly see her as ungrateful and disrespectful.

For the sake of Ye Yunting, she would not reject Yang Shu.

Lin Fuying was manipulating Chu Nanli by exploiting her love for Ye Yunting.

Yang Shu was doing the same.

She knew well how dearly Chu Nanli loved Ye Yunting.

With that knowledge, she could firmly control Chu Nanli.

"You are clever; let’s proceed this way," Yang Shu said with a laugh.

Lin Fuying breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then thank you, Mother."

Having said that, she left the medicine behind and hurriedly departed, as if she couldn’t bear to stay another minute.

Yang Shu watched her leave with disdain, then quietly called her trusted Imperial Physician.

Having been in the palace for years, she had many confidants.

This Imperial Physician was a distant cousin from her maternal family, who over the years had done many underhanded tasks for her...

He was also the Imperial Physician who had diagnosed Chu Nanli’s condition.
