My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 269 - 270: Death Threats

Chapter 269: Chapter 270: Death Threats

Chu Nanli’s honesty and trust truly made Zhuang Lin feel ashamed.

"Miss Chu, rest assured, from now on you won’t have to worry about the martial arts school’s management, I will have someone deliver the accounts to you every month, and there will be no falsifications."

Zhuang Lin is a businessman.

He certainly understands the importance of a promise.

Having made such a promise to Chu Nanli, he naturally wouldn’t break it.

Though this meant he had to expend a lot of unnecessary effort,

the item Chu Nanli presented was so important, he had to treat it with caution.

He recognized the value of the item and even considered showing it to Ye Jiuxiao.

If used properly, aside from the martial arts school, there were other places where it could be put to good use.

"I trust your character, Mr. Zhuang," Chu Nanli nodded slightly, "then, I’ll look forward to the day the martial arts school opens."

Having resolved an important matter on her outing today, Chu Nanli was in high spirits.

But the atmosphere at the War God Residence was somewhat stagnant.

Lin Fuying found a suitable moment to bring up the assassination attempt again in front of Ye Yunting.

However, this time, she acted strangely, hesitating several times before Ye Yunting.

With a hint of expectation, she asked, "Besides that, do you really remember nothing else, Yunting brother?"

Ye Yunting shook his head, "Perhaps the injuries were too severe, this prince has forgotten everything."

"Yingying, do you have something you want to say?"

Lin Fuying feigned difficulty speaking, her face a complex canvas of turmoil.

Only then did she find the words she had prepared to express herself.

However, according to her story, she had followed Ye Yunting to Xingshan Temple out of concern for him that night, where he, in his delirium, took her to bed, and they reluctantly spent the night together.

After hearing all this, Ye Yunting could only find it absurd.

He genuinely didn’t remember touching anyone that night.

"Yunting brother, do you think I would deceive you?"

Lin Fuying’s eyes brimmed with tears, sitting tragically across from Ye Yunting, her dewy eyes unblinking as they fixed on him.

It must be said she truly knew what men liked.

The tear in her eye corner never fell but hung there, evoking a heartbreaking pity.

Even Ye Yunting, facing her at this moment, couldn’t help but frown at her appearance.

"This prince was just..."

"Yunting brother, I didn’t want to talk about this at first, after all, I am now your concubine, and serving you is only natural,"

Lin Fuying’s voice wavered with a tremble.

It seemed stating these words took all her strength.

Ye Yunting remained silent, still frowning.

He distinctly remembered being ambushed near Xingshan Temple that day, and was indeed saved by the people from the temple.

After that, his memory was unclear.

When he came to, he was already back at the Prince Residence.

Lin Fuying was the first to appear before him then, her face worn from having cared for him all night.

On the contrary, that woman Chu Nanli had never come to see him from start to finish!

For some reason, the thought of having possibly been intimate with Lin Fuying filled Ye Yunting with revulsion.

But out of the many years of affection between them, he still spoke up to clarify.

"This prince doesn’t remember clearly."

"So, do you think I’m lying, Yunting brother?"

Finally, the tear from Lin Fuying’s eye corner fell, and her emotions surged with agitation.

"That night, I was restless in the Prince Residence, worrying that you might be hurt, Yunting Brother. Ultimately, I couldn’t set my mind at ease, so I left the capital overnight and had someone take me to Xingshan Temple. But no sooner had I arrived there than you, Yunting Brother, just..."

"I’m already Yunting Brother’s Concubine, and Yunting Brother can do whatever he wants with me, but I never expected that not only would you forget about it, you would even suspect me!"

If it were someone else saying this, Ye Yunting would have immediately ordered a verification.

But he and Lin Fuying had shared so many years of affection.

She shouldn’t be capable of telling such lies to deceive him.

Moreover, upon hearing Lin Fuying’s tearful complaints, it seemed as though a woman’s silhouette really did begin to emerge vaguely in his mind.

That night at Xingshan Temple, he seemed to have indeed shared a moment of passion with a woman.

If it hadn’t been for Lin Fuying’s mention just now, he might not have been able to recall this incident.

But was that woman truly Lin Fuying?

Lin Fuying had been keeping a close watch on the changes in Ye Yunting’s expression all the while.

Seeing what he looked like at this moment, how could she fail to guess that he still didn’t fully trust her?

If that was the case, then she couldn’t be blamed for showing no mercy.

She lifted her head, revealing a resolute smile, "If Yunting Brother is unwilling to believe me, then I have no choice but to prove the truth of my words with my death!"

Lin Fuying stood up abruptly and threw herself towards a column nearby!

Ye Yunting’s reaction was half a beat slow, but he still caught her in time to prevent her from actually colliding with it.

However, when he looked down at Lin Fuying again, she had passed out.

Bai Wuheng received the news and quickly arrived at Lin Fuying’s chambers, furiously asking, "Is this your way of taking care of her? Why has she passed out again all of a sudden?"

Ye Yunting’s expression was unreadable, "Go in and check on her first."

By now, he completely believed Lin Fuying’s words.

After all, her determination to seek death a moment ago was crystal clear to him.

If he hadn’t acted in time, Lin Fuying might have truly perished by hitting the column today.

But why still, did he feel some discomfort in his heart?

Could it be his heart ailment acting up?

When Bai Wuheng went inside to take Lin Fuying’s pulse, she was still in a coma.

He quickly diagnosed that Lin Fuying had fainted due to an excess of sorrow and agitation.

"She’s temporarily out of danger now, but her body hasn’t fully recovered yet. Did that Chu Nanli say something to her again?" Concerned with Lin Fuying’s health, Bai Wuheng naturally took it very seriously.

He spoke vehemently, "That sly and treacherous woman has left the Prince Residence but still refuses to let things be!"

What’s the use of just letting that malicious woman leave?

She should be made to step down on her own accord!

"It has nothing to do with her."

Unexpectedly, Ye Yunting spoke up to explain for Chu Nanli.

He himself didn’t understand why he had said so.

Bai Wuheng’s expression changed, and just as he was about to speak, Xiaoyun’s excited voice came from inside the room.

"Concubine, you’ve woken up!"

Bai Wuheng instinctively thought to go inside.

But in the next moment, as if he had remembered something, he abruptly pulled Ye Yunting.

"Hurry and go in, she must be longing to see you the most right now."

As for himself, he was content to follow behind Ye Yunting, willing to be an accessory.

Lin Fuying had already sat up with Xiaoyun’s assistance and, upon seeing Ye Yunting, her face immediately lit up with joy.

"Yunting Brother!"
