My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 195 - 196: Give the Gift to Yingying

Chapter 195: Chapter 196: Give the Gift to Yingying

Chu Nanli’s pretty face also turned cold.

"She tries to snatch my things, and I have to apologize? Ye Yunting, please use your brain."

"How dare you!" Ye Yunting glared at her angrily, his gaze sharp as a knife.

"You know well that Yingying is unwell, why do you bully her?"

Chu Nanli was almost amused by her anger.

"I was just here to fetch a gift, how is that bullying her?"

"Prince, the servant can testify..." The servant boy, although intimidated by Yunting’s formidable presence, still plucked up the courage to speak.

"My master ordered me to deliver a gift to the Princess Consort, but the concubine’s maid insisted on giving the gift to the concubine."

"I refused, and she tried to snatch it..."

"Whimper, Yingying didn’t, Yingying just liked it, wanted to take a look that’s all." Lin Fuying pointed at the servant accusingly, "Who knew he, he would actually push Yingying..."

The servant didn’t expect Lin Fuying to bite back like that and was instantly flustered.

Ye Yunting angrily commanded, "Someone! Chop off this servant boy’s hand!"

Seeing his murderous look, the servant shuddered, almost letting the jewelry slip from his hands.

"I dare you."

Chu Nanli stepped in front of the servant boy.

"Ye Yunting, if you feel your delicate concubine has been wronged, come at me directly."

"Chu Nanli!" Ye Yunting glared at her intensely.

For a moment, the air was thick with fury, ready to erupt.

The servant boy was also extremely tense.

He looked at Ye Yunting’s fierce eyes, and then at the innocent yet righteous princess consort, swallowing his fear before speaking.

"Prince, even if you chop off my hand, what I just said is entirely true!"

"I only ask that you not wrong the princess consort."

"Earlier, the concubine’s maid said the princess consort is not favored in the mansion, and the gift should be given to the concubine to show respect. I have come to realize that what she says is true."

"However, the gift belongs to my boss, and he can give it to whomever he pleases!" declared the servant boy boldly.

He mustered all of his courage to speak these words.

After all, he accidentally pushed the concubine and was going to be punished by having his hand chopped off; he might as well speak his mind first.

Chu Nanli was also somewhat shocked.

She didn’t expect the servant boy to dare to speak these words in the face of Ye Yunting’s anger.

Seeing Ye Yunting’s ominous glare, she feared he wished he could cut him into thousand pieces.

"Ye Yunting, this matter has nothing to do with him, let him go,"

Chu Nanli quickly stepped forward, signaling for the servant boy to leave quickly.

"Hold it."

Ye Yunting’s dark eyes turned towards him, his voice cold enough to condense dew, "Who is this boss you mentioned?"

"Why would he send a gift to the princess consort?"

The servant boy, taken aback, then tremblingly spoke, "Replying to the prince, our boss is Zhuang Lin. This gift is a congratulatory present for the opening business given to the princess consort..."

"Whimper..."

Lin Fuying, seeing the tide turning against her, immediately cried louder.

"Yingying knows that Boss Zhuang doesn’t like her, and knows she doesn’t deserve such a nice gift, I never thought of competing with sister..."

"Brother, please believe Yingying..."

Ye Yunting’s expression turned even darker.

"Chu Nanli, give the gift to Yingying!" Ye Yunting said coldly.

Chu Nanli looked at him incredulously, glaring angrily, "Why should I? It’s meant for me!"

"Don’t make me repeat myself," Ye Yunting said coldly.

Chu Nanli felt like laughing out of sheer anger, "Ye Yunting, I can’t believe you and Lin Fuying are both shameless, both hell-bent on snatching others’ belongings!"

"Chu Nanli!" Ye Yunting’s anger surged instantly, and he raised his hand to strike at Chu Nanli’s face -

Chu Nanli quickly drew out her silver needle.

However, Ye Yunting’s hand did not move toward her, but pushed towards the servant boy instead.

"Bang—"

The servant boy was thrown out instantly, flying five meters before his body crashed against the big tree in the garden, the sound of his bones shattering disturbingly clear.

Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Chu Nanli’s heart skipped a beat in fright.

Ye Yunting had struck to kill.

She quickly ran over, sealed the boy’s acupoints, and glared coldly at Ye Yunting.

"Ye Yunting, what’s mine has never been for others to take unless I don’t want it anymore," she said.

"If you want revenge, come at me directly. Don’t take it out on innocent people."

Having said that, she helped the boy up and together they headed toward Chuxiang Garden.

Ye Yunting’s expression was chillingly cold, his aura oppressive enough to freeze someone solid.

Lin Fuying was quite pleased by this.

"Yunting brother, it’s all my fault. Please, don’t be angry," she pleaded.

"It’s not your fault."

Listening to her soft persuasion, Ye Yunting tried to suppress his rage, but it was to no avail.

"Good thing brother doesn’t hate me. You must be tired, why don’t you come rest at my place for the day?" she suggested.

Ye Yunting barely lifted his dark eyes, gazing at the retreating figure of Chu Nanli and murmured softly, "Mm."

By the time Chu Nanli brought the servant boy back to her own courtyard, he was nearly at death’s door.

"I’m sorry, it’s my fault you ended up like this," Chu Nanli said guiltily.

The boy in front of her was only thirteen or fourteen, had merely delivered an item to her, and suffered immensely for no reason.

With multiple fractures and ruptured internal organs, the pain he must have endured...

She immediately locked her room’s door and took him into her space to perform surgery.

The boy was unconscious, so her space remained undiscovered.

Even if it could be discovered, she couldn’t care less; saving a life was more important.

It took Chu Nanli a whole four hours to realign the boy’s fractured bones.

As for the internal bleeding, it could only be healed slowly over time.

Even if he recovered, his vitality would be diminished, never returning to his previous healthy state.

Chu Nanli moved the boy out of the space and stared at his once vibrant face now turned pallid, her teeth clenched in hatred.

Ye Yunting and Lin Fuying.

You must pay for your sins, bit by bit!

...

After performing surgeries for four hours straight, Chu Nanli was completely drained.

She instructed Yanyan to take good care of the boy, then fell asleep herself.

Night fell quietly.

This night, with a full moon, the moonlight was incredibly bright.

Under the moonlight, a tall figure stood upright in front of Chu Nanli’s window.

The man, in a black robe, tall and imposing, carried an air of nobility, his handsome face seemed celestial, unapproachable.

Yet his gaze towards Chu Nanli was soft and tender like water.

He stood there silently for a long time, watching the moonlight bathe Chu Nanli’s delicate face, until the sun began to rise in the east...

After escorting Lin Fuying back to her chamber, Ye Yunting did not linger there.

He turned and walked back to his own bedroom, Chu Nanli’s figure haunting his mind.

He remembered when they first met, how Chu Nanli had smiled while giving him a gift.

Then she had said gleefully, "I would like to receive a gift too."

"Everyone has jewelry given by their husband, do I have any?"

Although Ye Yunting was initially impatient, he still complied and bought two pieces.

Just two, nothing expensive.

But Chu Nanli had been very happy then and wore them for a long time.

She hadn’t even cherished the jewelry gifted by the emperor during their marriage as much.

Ever since the abortion, Ye Yunting had seemingly never seen Chu Nanli wear the jewelry he gave her again.

Thinking of Chu Nanli accepting jewelry from Zhuang Lin, Ye Yunting was even more upset.
