My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 259 - 260: Move Away

Chapter 259: Chapter 260: Move Away

The Princess Consort suffered quite a few grievances and torments in the War King Residence, which Yanyan had all seen.

Once she moved out of the War King Residence, she could stay away from that harmful spirit, Lin Fuying, and the Prince, who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong. The days ahead would definitely be much better!

"Mm," Chu Nanli nodded, "Chu Yi, you help me find a residence tomorrow, I want to move out as soon as possible."

When Chu Yi heard that Chu Nanli could move out of here, he too was happy for her.

"Yes, does Your Highness have any requirements?"

Chu Nanli thought for a moment, "A bit farther from the War King Residence."

She moved out in order to avoid Ye Yunting from afar, not wishing to constantly cross paths.

"Closer to Bright Moon Building. That way it’s convenient for me to go there later," Chu Nanli continued, "Find a peaceful location amidst the bustle, with a bigger courtyard."

With a large courtyard, she could plant all of her medicinal herbs.

"Of course," Chu Yi said.

"Mm, when the time comes, you and Yanyan move over to live there as well," Chu Nanli said with a smile.

"Chu Yi, how soon can you find such a courtyard?" Yanyan asked expectantly.

"The fastest by tomorrow," Chu Yi thought for a moment, "The latest in two or three days should be enough."

Upon hearing this, Yanyan was even more delighted, joy apparent in her eyes and brows.

"Good, then I’ll go help the Princess Consort pack up the luggage!"

She was happy for Chu Nanli and just wanted to move out as quickly as possible!

"Good," Chu Nanli couldn’t help but chuckle.

After Yanyan left, Chu Yi took out a letter from his pocket and gave it to Chu Nanli.

"Your Highness, there’s another matter I need to tell you about."

Chu Yi’s expression began to turn serious.

"What is it?"

As Chu Nanli spoke, she opened the letter from the pocket.

It was a letter from a nun at the Xingshan Temple.

The general content was that they never admitted the injured man back then.

Chu Nanli frowned slightly.

"She doesn’t admit it? Could it be that this matter is tangled with other complicated issues?"

Chu Yi nodded slowly, "Very likely, perhaps things are not as simple as they seem."

"It seems I cannot act too hastily; you continue to investigate slowly," Chu Nanli sighed softly.

The matter with Xingshan Temple seemed to have surfaced halfway and now had sunk completely.

Nevertheless, that she could move out of the Prince Residence first was a good thing.

After Chu Yi left, Ye Yi knocked on Chu Nanli’s room door.

"Your Highness, the Prince summons you over," he said.

Chu Nanli’s face immediately darkened, "When should I go?"

"Right now," Ye Yi said.

So late at night, what did he want her for? Could it be due to her not taking the carriage today?

She looked at Ye Yi with suspicion, "What does he need me for?"

"It’s not the Prince who needs something..." Ye Yi said with slight difficulty, "The Princess Consort Yang Shu has come; it’s her that has something for you."

Chu Nanli’s brows knit even tighter.

She knew that Yang Shu didn’t like her, and surely this time’s visit was not with good intentions.

"All right, I’ll go right away, but let’s not tell Yanyan about this for now."

Chu Nanli didn’t want the young girl to worry again.

She went alone to Ye Yunting’s courtyard.

Over at Ye Yunting’s side.

At the moment, Ye Yunting sat next to the tea table, his expression somber, the teacup in his hand suspended in midair.

"Your Princess Consort truly doesn’t appreciate favors. The Emperor wanted to grant her a position, and she actually refused?"

"Just a common woman, why is she putting on airs!"

"In this Prince Residence, the legitimate wives of the officials’ families, each one is the daughter of a high official, only she is nothing!"

"She was born of low status and brought disgrace to our Prince Residence; she finally had a chance to change her identity, yet she actually refused it! And she refused it by risking the defiance of an imperial command!"

"Has her brain been kicked by a donkey!"

Yang Shu stood before Ye Yunting, pointing in the direction of Chuxiang Garden and cursed.

Her emotions were so agitated at the moment that her spitting fury was no different from that of a shrew scolding in the street.

She was furious at Chu Nanli for not knowing what’s good for her!

An Imperial Physician’s post is a third-rank official position or higher!

Chu Nanli just refused as if it was nothing; she truly didn’t consider the Prince Residence’s reputation in the slightest.

"Mother, the War King Residence does not need Chu Nanli to add glory to it," Ye Yunting said gravely, placing the tea cup back on the table with a thud, his mood oppressive.

Seeing Ye Yunting’s unpleasant expression, Yang Shu dared not provoke him any further.

She thought to herself that once Chu Nanli arrived, she would definitely punish her properly.

As soon as Chu Nanli stepped into the palace, she heard the cursing of Yang Shu and couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

"What business does the Princess Consort have with me?" Once she entered the room, she didn’t pay respects to Yang Shu, but asked directly instead.

Seeing Chu Nanli’s disregard for rank and status, Yang Shu grew even more angry.

Remembering how Chu Nanli used to act humble and lowly, she felt a great disparity.

The daughter-in-law who used to be compliant was now so defiant!

"Chu Nanli, I am your mother-in-law, do you have no manners at all?" Yang Shu said sharply, her voice so agitated it almost broke.

Chu Nanli let out a cold laugh and said indifferently, "Maybe the Princess Consort would enlighten me on what manners are, given how you’re behaving now?"

Yang Shu was taken aback.

When she realized Chu Nanli was insulting her lack of manners, her heart began to race with anger!

"You dare say I lack manners? Do you not understand the concept of respect for elders and betters!"

Yang Shu raised her hand to strike Chu Nanli.

Chu Nanli, naturally, would not just allow herself to be hit; she dodged to the side to avoid it.

However, before she even needed to dodge, a large hand halted Yang Shu’s wrist.

Looking up, Chu Nanli saw Ye Yunting stepping in to shield her.

"Mother, please stop making a scene," Ye Yunting said solemnly, his cold and handsome face as frosty as ice.

Yang Shu was nearly driven to fury.

"You!" She pointed at Ye Yunting for a long time before finally saying, "You’re really spoiling Chu Nanli like this!"

"She has been so ungrateful today, daring to defy an imperial command, who knows what she might do tomorrow!"

A look of sternness appeared on Yang Shu’s face.

That was the real reason she had made a special trip there today.

Chu Nanli would eventually bring disaster upon Ye Yunting by defying the Emperor himself.

"Your Highness need not worry."

Chu Nanli pursed her lips and spoke calmly.

"I will bear the consequences of my own actions, and will not involve the War King Residence."

Yang Shu looked at Chu Nanli, who spoke so firmly, and sneered in disdain.

"Hmph, just you? Saying you won’t bring trouble means you won’t?"

Yang Shu sneered with a furrowed brow, "How can you guarantee that?"

"I will move out of the Prince Residence," Chu Nanli declared categorically.

"By leaving on my own accord, I’ll be no different from a divorced and forsaken wife, naturally not affecting the Prince," Chu Nanli stated with certainty.

Yang Shu was stunned.

Chu Nanli loved Yunting so much, yet she was willing to move out?

Last time Chu Nanli didn’t go through with the divorce, Yang Shu thought it was because Chu Nanli wasn’t willing to let go yet.

Thus, this time, Yang Shu didn’t quite believe her.

"Are you serious?"

"Naturally." Chu Nanli nodded, her gaze resolute, "I’ve already ordered someone to look for a residence. As soon as we find one, I will move out immediately."

As soon as Chu Nanli finished speaking, a snapping sound occurred.

Ye Yunting had crushed the tea cup in his hand.
