My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 283 - 284: Bringing Up Divorce Again

Chapter 283: Chapter 284: Bringing Up Divorce Again

There was no need to wait until now.

As for the carriage sent by the Empress Dowager to pick her up, which appeared at the courtyard gate, in fact, when she had entered the palace earlier, she had already asked the little eunuch driving the carriage.

The little eunuch first went to the War King Residence and inquired about her whereabouts from the guard at the gate before finally finding her.

As for the Empress Dowager, she was occupied with concern for the Emperor’s health today and certainly wouldn’t have noticed these matters.

Realizing he had misunderstood Chu Nanli, Ye Yunting still couldn’t lower his face to apologise.

Earlier in front of the Emperor, Ye Yunting had actually started to see her in a slightly better light.

Now his attitude became even more awkward.

"I’m going back first. If the Prince has no other business, you should spend more time with your concubine!"

So that Lin Fuying, having nothing better to do, wouldn’t come looking for trouble with her again.

Chu Nanli rolled her eyes in displeasure. Thankfully, before entering the palace, she had taken medicine in advance to suppress her pregnancy symptoms.

Otherwise, she surely would have been disgusted to death by Ye Yunting.

"You do care about Yingying’s existence, don’t you?"

Ye Yunting naturally interpreted Chu Nanli’s words as jealousy.

He spoke with slight discomfort, "I can talk to Yingying. Yingying has always been kind and magnanimous, she won’t mind about the past. If you wish to move back, from now on, I certainly won’t be partial between you and Yingying."

"I appreciate the Prince’s kind intentions," said Chu Nanli with a cold laugh. In his condescension, one might really believe she was at fault for being driven out of the War King Residence.

The wrong one was clearly this scoundrel in front of her!

She, no, the original owner of this body’s only mistake, was choosing Ye Yunting in a moment of blindness!

"But as there is a contract between me and the Prince, you promised to let me move out, surely you wouldn’t want to be known as someone unfaithful and untrustworthy, right?"

If Ye Yunting really forced her to move back, she would certainly publicize his deeds until the whole capital knew about them.

Let everyone see that the esteemed War King is actually a person who doesn’t keep his promises!

"Chu Nanli, don’t be too willful!"

Seeing that Chu Nanli did not joyfully accept the way out he had offered like she used to do,

Ye Yunting suddenly felt an indescribable emotion welling up inside.

He clearly remembered that the Chu Nanli of the past would be happy for a long time just by speaking a word with him.

"Even for today’s events, do you know how many mistakes you’ve made?"

"Even if the Empress Dowager summoned you to the palace to diagnose the Emperor, but you only cared about showing off, did you ever consider you might implicate me and the Prince Residence?"

"If you fail to cure the Emperor, that would be nothing but showboating, and even I won’t be able to protect you then!"

Actually, Ye Yunting had planned to have a serious talk with Chu Nanli.

But looking at her attitude, he felt a fire burning in his chest.

Not long ago, Chu Nanli wouldn’t have treated him with such cold indifference.

He didn’t think he was in the wrong.

He only pushed all the mistakes onto others.

"If that’s the case, why doesn’t the Prince divorce me? I’ve already moved out of the Prince Residence now, you just need to agree to a divorce, and if it isn’t necessary, I absolutely won’t appear before you again."

Chu Nanli frowned, finding Ye Yunting’s words utterly laughable.

In the end, what this man cared about the most was himself.

"After a divorce, whatever I do would no longer be associated with the Prince, isn’t this the perfect solution?"

"Don’t you even think about it!"

Ye Yunting hadn’t given deep thought as to why he was so opposed to the divorce.

He only knew that he would absolutely never allow Chu Nanli to suggest leaving!

Unless, it was he who didn’t want Chu Nanli.

His eyes bloodshot, he didn’t care that they were in the palace, and was about to reach out and drag Chu Nanli back.

"Master!"

Zhuang Muyan’s loud shout suddenly interrupted Ye Yunting’s action.

It also allowed Chu Nanli to avoid his hand.

Zhuang Muyan almost ran to Chu Nanli’s side.

He looked at Ye Yunting with displeasure, "Prince, just now, were you really about to hit someone?"

"As a man, how can you be rough with a woman?"

From his angle just now, he could only see Ye Yunting raising his hand toward Chu Nanli.

Ye Yunting gritted his teeth as he spoke, "Just now, I merely wanted to speak a few words with the Princess Consort!"

He deliberately emphasized the words "Princess Consort," as if to declare his sovereignty in front of Zhuang Muyan.

Unfortunately, with Zhuang Muyan’s thick-headedness, he completely failed to grasp his meaning.

"Master, just now the Imperial Physician Ji mentioned that he had some questions he wanted to consult you about and might need you to go back once more."

Zhuang Muyan was completely unconcerned about Ye Yunting’s cold face, and was instead more wary of him.

"The Prince surely wouldn’t want to delay the Emperor’s illness, right? If the Emperor blames us later, it’s something neither you nor I can bear..."

"Chu Nanli, you will regret this!"

Ye Yunting glared fiercely at Chu Nanli, then left with a sweep of his sleeve.

He didn’t believe that Chu Nanli didn’t want to return to the Prince Residence.

This was all just a ploy of hers!

Chu Nanli remained noncommittal about Ye Yunting’s attitude.

No matter whether Ye Yunting changed or not, her determination to leave would always remain the same.

She turned back to Zhuang Muyan, "Let’s go, didn’t you say Imperial Physician Ji was calling for me?"

"Actually, I was deceiving the Prince," Zhuang Muyan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "Master, you should go back and rest well. I remember all the things Master taught me daily, and if I encounter something I don’t understand, I’ll just come out of the palace and ask Master later."

Anyway, the Emperor had already awakened and there was no danger to his life.

And just now, Chu Nanli had informed the Imperial Medical Bureau of the recuperation methods, so they really didn’t need her in the palace.

Although the medication suppressed the physical signs of pregnancy, Chu Nanli still tired more easily than average people.

Without further ado, she got into the carriage, closed her eyes, and rested.

Ye Yunting returned to the Prince Residence in a fury, just in time to meet a maid on her way to Lin Fuying’s quarters.

"Stop," he called out with a scowl, "what are you holding there?"

"Answering the Prince, it’s an invitation from the Duke Residence; this maid was on the way to deliver it to Concubine Lin’s quarters."

After all, right now everyone in the War King Residence knew that the Princess Consort had moved out, and perhaps one day, the position of Princess Consort might fall to Lin Fuying.

Therefore, the people of the War King Residence were now more eager than before to curry favor with Lin Fuying.

Perversely, Ye Yunting was blind to this fact.

He didn’t even realize that Chu Nanli had once been wronged in the Prince Residence.

She was so assertive, how could she allow herself to be bullied?

"Ye Yi, take this to the study."

Looking at the invitation, Ye Yunting quickly had a new idea.

"Summon Yingying to the study to see me."
