Chapter 218: Chapter 219 You’re Smart

Chu Nanli nodded her head.

Ye Yunting seemed to have been amused by anger, his voice cold.

"If you don’t handle the person today, you won’t have another chance in the future."

Chu Nanli took a deep breath and nodded again.

Ye Yunting knew well that Lin Fuying was a major suspect, yet he insisted on protecting her.

Without the power to oppose them at the moment, she could only go along with whatever they said.

Ye Yunting’s dark eyes stared at Chu Nanli for two seconds before he left with a cold face.

Dong Yue, who stood by, remained confused until she was finally spared at last.

It took her a long time to believe that it was Chu Nanli who had spoken to save her, causing her to feel a complex mix of emotions.

Lin Fuying looked at Dong Yue with disdain. "What are you standing there for, follow me back."

Dong Yue, startled, stood up tremblingly, and when she met Lin Fuying’s cold gaze, she felt a surge of fear.

Lin Fuying took Dong Yue back to her room and locked the door.

Recalling how Lin Fuying would beat and scold her when angry, Dong Yue was nearly too terrified to stand.

"What are you so scared of?" Lin Fuying’s smile didn’t reach her eyes, a flash of cruelty passing through them.

Seeing this expression on her, Dong Yue’s fear intensified, and she immediately knelt down.

"Your Highness, I had no intention of betraying you just now. Please forgive me for my loyal service," Dong Yue implored.

Lin Fuying’s expression remained cold.

"Really?"

"Absolutely true, I wouldn’t dare to utter a single lie," Dong Yue quickly kowtowed.

"Please spare me, Your Highness, I still need to serve you loyally in the future."

Lin Fuying fiddled with her string of beads, her gaze shifting.

"You’re wise."

At that moment, she indeed harbored thoughts of killing Dong Yue, who knew too much; after this incident, Dong Yue would surely hold a grudge against her.

Dong Yue had become a ticking time bomb.

However, seeing Dong Yue’s respectful demeanor, Lin Fuying temporarily changed her mind.

"I guess you wouldn’t dare to cause trouble," Lin Fuying said with smugness.

Only then did Dong Yue heave a sigh of relief.

But her heart grew colder still.

She had clearly felt the murderous intent in Lin Fuying’s eyes.

Lin Fuying had wanted to kill her to keep her silence; had she not demonstrated her loyalty in time, she might already be dead.

She had served Lin Fuying loyally for so many years, enduring abuse without ever considering betrayal.

It was unexpected that even though Chu Nanli had spoken for her, Lin Fuying had still intended to kill her.

Dong Yue’s heart was icily cold, and her view of Chu Nanli had improved.

Previously from Lin Fuying’s perspective, she naturally thought Chu Nanli was just an ambitious woman with no status and a scheming heart.

Only now did she realize that compared to Lin Fuying, Chu Nanli was much more magnanimous.

...

Chu Nanli had just returned to Chuxiang Garden when she saw Zhuang Muyan approaching in a hurry.

"Master, something’s wrong!" he exclaimed.

Chu Nanli’s brows furrowed slightly. "What happened?"

Zhuang Muyan rarely showed such distress.

"It’s Consort Yu. She seems to have come down with a rare disease, and the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau are at a loss. I really had no choice but to ask for Master’s help," Zhuang Muyan said anxiously.

Chu Nanli remembered, Consort Yu was the consort she had saved at the palace banquet; they shared a certain fate.

Even if she had been a stranger, as a physician, Chu Nanli would not stand idly by, let alone when the person had once helped her.

"Alright, wait for me, I’ll change my clothes and then go," Chu Nanli said.

Having said that, she quickly returned to her room, changed into a robe with wide sleeves, and, taking her medicine chest, left.

"I’m ready, let’s go."
