My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 206 - 207 You Don’t Deserve

Chapter 206: Chapter 207 You Don’t Deserve

Lin Fuying, standing behind Ye Yunting, was not injured by the flying pebbles.

Chu Nanli wasn’t so lucky.

Pebbles the size of a fingernail cap flew straight towards her face, and Chu Nanli’s eyes turned cold as she quickly dodged.

She truly had had enough of Ye Yunting.

"Ye Yunting, are you deaf or wishing to be blind? I told you, the piece was originally like that, and if you don’t believe me, you can certainly check!"

"Chu Nanli, who do you think you are?" Ye Yunting’s dark eyes flashed with a hint of irony.

"You are not worth my time."

This woman, Chu Nanli, was rebellious, unruly, and arrogant...

It was a pity that he was considering their past affection and had intended to help her today.

She was not worthy.

"Summon the guards, take the Princess Consort away, confine her to the firewood room, no food for three days, and no one is allowed to visit!"

His voice was ice-cold, devoid of any emotion.

Chu Nanli’s heart skipped a beat.

She thought she had long since lost any of the original host’s feelings, but hearing Ye Yunting’s heartless words caused her heart to ache faintly.

Ye Yunting intended to starve her to death.

A hint of irony flashed in Chu Nanli’s eyes.

"Ye Yunting, I hope you won’t regret today’s decision when you find out the truth."

Chu Nanli said coldly.

Ye Yi sighed with a troubled expression upon seeing the two of them arguing again.

He didn’t want to see his masters at each other’s throats.

But he dared not disobey Ye Yunting’s orders, so he could only step forward respectfully and say, "Princess Consort, please come with me."

Chu Nanli offered no resistance, understanding that she was at their mercy.

To change the situation, she must quickly become stronger.

Chu Nanli was locked away, yet Lin Fuying’s heart couldn’t settle down, stuck in her throat.

Seeing Chu Nanli’s resolute expression just now and hearing her last words made Lin Fuying feel increasingly guilty.

Could it be that, just as Chu Nanli said, there was a latter half to the Qingping Music?

Lin Fuying became even more uneasy.

She looked at Ye Yunting’s departing back and hurried after him, pleading, "Whimper, Yunting brother, sister might have made a mistake, but it doesn’t deserve such a severe punishment. How can she survive three days without food..."

"She’d better die in there!" Ye Yunting said angrily.

"Still, we should send some food to sister. Yingying believes that sister might not have done it on purpose... Besides, as long as the musicians are forbidden to play Qingping Music in the future, the embarrassment Yingying suffered will gradually fade away."

Ye Yunting nodded with a cold face.

"Hmm, from now on, the Xia Kingdom shall ban the playing of Qingping Music!"

...

Chu Nanli looked around the dilapidated environment of the firewood room and frowned.

The mottled walls were full of dust, and the beams covered with spider webs seemed about to collapse.

The key point was, the room was surrounded by stacks of firewood. Some of the moldy firewood was covered with fungus, leaving no place to even set foot.

Her unborn child within her womb was at a critical stage of growth; living in such a place for three days might lead to an unhealthy child.

Ye Yi also felt that the firewood room was a bit too simple, but there was only one such room in the mansion.

"Your Highness, please make do for a short while. I will bring you a blanket later," said Ye Yi.

This time, the Prince had commanded to confine Chu Nanli without food, but he hadn’t mentioned that he couldn’t send her things.

Thinking about Yanyan’s tearful face, his heart felt unpleasant.

Having taught Yanyan martial arts these past few days, Ye Yi had found her to be a brave and kind-hearted girl, and he had grown increasingly fond of her.

Even for Yanyan’s sake, he couldn’t be too harsh on Chu Nanli; otherwise, the young girl would be in tears again.

Chu Nanli nodded slightly and thanked him.

When Ye Yi brought the blanket, she found a dry stack of firewood to spread it on, stuffed some dry wood inside to shape a human figure, and then slipped into her own secret space.

Feeling some faint pain in her lower abdomen, she first found some medicine that would help secure the pregnancy and gulped it down.

The abdominal pain came on suddenly.

She didn’t know if it was because of the momentary sadness she felt just now that had affected the fetus.

Living with Ye Yunting, that unpredictable, violent man, was still too dangerous.

She had tried hard to find a way to divorce him, but for some reason, even though Ye Yunting obviously had no feelings for her, he still refused to let go.

With her current power and strength, she was simply no match for Ye Yunting.

The only thing to do was to first ensure the safety of the fetus, then take one step at a time thereafter.

"Princess Consort, you have finally come, this servant has good news to tell you."

Seeing Chu Nanli come in, Nanny Hua was overjoyed.

"The gender of the baby can now be determined; it’s a little Commandery Princess."

Chu Nanli’s mood also improved a bit.

"A daughter is good," she said.

She liked daughters.

She followed Nanny Hua to check on the Breeding Box, where the fetus had already taken shape and was developing very well in all aspects.

Chu Nanli conducted all kinds of tests on her, and the indicators were all very healthy.

But the one inside her abdomen was not necessarily so.

She casually performed a prenatal checkup on herself using the machine, and as expected, the indicators were still not as good as those of the fetus inside the Breeding Box.

Normally, the indicators of a fetus surviving inside the mother’s body should be better than those of a fetus in the Breeding Box.

But Ye Yunting and Lin Fuying kept causing trouble, preventing her from living in peace, and naturally, this also affected the unborn child.

A feeling of guilt inevitably rose in Chu Nanli’s heart.

In the beginning, it was because she had promised the original owner that she would do her best to save the two little lives, a greater responsibility for the children.

But now, after living together for so long, she had also developed feelings for the children.

As a mother, failing to protect her children was her negligence...

"Don’t worry, I will make sure you both grow up healthy," Chu Nanli whispered softly, her voice tender but her eyes flashing with determination.

...

Meanwhile, at Lin Fuying’s.

Ye Yunting stayed with Lin Fuying for dinner today but seemed somewhat distracted.

Lin Fuying nearly exhausted herself trying to find topics to discuss, but Ye Yunting merely responded perfunctorily.

"Yunting, will you rest here at Yingying’s place tonight?" Lin Fuying asked softly.

Ye Yunting frowned slightly.

"I have things to do tonight."

Lin Fuying’s eyes suddenly welled up with hurt, "Do you despise Yingying because of her low status?"

"What foolish things are you saying?"

They had played together since they were young; how could he despise her background?

"Then, do you dislike Yingying’s body for not being beautiful enough?" Lin Fuying became even more aggrieved.

Ye Yunting’s face turned dark instantly.

"Yingying, you are a woman, how can you say such things?"

Lin Fuying knew that Ye Yunting didn’t want to talk about this.

But even though Ye Yunting was a little annoyed this time, she had to ask.

"But, as a woman, isn’t it right to serve one’s husband? Other households’ husbands and wives are affectionate and harmonious. Yingying has been in the manor for almost a year, and yet brother Yunting still refuses to touch Yingying, if not out of disdain, then why?"

She really couldn’t understand. Ye Yunting was alone, and he hadn’t touched Chu Nanli, so why wouldn’t he touch her.

With a "huff," Ye Yunting suddenly stood up.

Seeing him leave with a dark face, Lin Fuying’s complexion instantly turned pale, she clenched her fists, bit her teeth, and rushed up to him.

"Yunting, don’t go."

Lin Fuying wrapped her arms around Ye Yunting from behind, her soft fingers placed on a sensitive spot on his waist.

"Brother, won’t you favor Yingying once? Please?"
