My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 286 - 287: Unconscious

Chapter 286: Chapter 287: Unconscious

"I wonder if Yunting brother prefers boys or girls more."

"Yunting brother will definitely be good to our child," she said with certainty.

Lin Fuying clearly knew that Chu Nanli’s child had already been "killed" by her.

Yet she was still able to say these things without blushing, truly her heart deserved to be condemned.

Before Chu Nanli could speak, Lin Fuying had already continued.

"It’s my fault for being nosy. Sister, you wouldn’t be thinking about your own child, would you?"

"I actually did advise Yunting brother in the past that children are innocent after all. Unfortunately, I still couldn’t persuade him in the end."

Her hypocritical demeanor disgusted Chu Nanli immensely.

If it hadn’t been about discussing the divorce with Ye Yunting, she wouldn’t have had to suffer like this.

"So, sister, since you have already moved out of the Prince Residence, don’t even think about coming back!"

"Yunting brother has no place for you in his heart, why must you degrade yourself repeatedly?"

Relying on the fact that only Chu Nanli could hear her, Lin Fuying grew increasingly unrestrained.

"It’s better to have self-awareness, don’t you think, sister?"

"Who can say otherwise?"

Chu Nanli replied with a faint smile, and her reaction unexpectedly confused Lin Fuying.

How could she remain so calm?

Previously, if Chu Nanli had heard her say such things, she would have lost control of her emotions.

How could she possibly be unaffected?

"It’s just a pity, your child will still be a concubine-born child when born, who’s to blame when you are merely a concubine at the War King Residence now?"

As soon as Chu Nanli spoke, she hit Lin Fuying where it hurt the most.

Even without her, Lin Fuying could never become the Princess Consort.

That was the reality.

Lin Fuying’s expression twisted momentarily, she truly didn’t expect Chu Nanli to say such a thing.

This hurt more than any other words could.

The thing she cared about most in her life was her status as a concubine-born daughter.

Regrettably, that too was an unchangeable reality.

"So what?"

Lin Fuying struggled to appear indifferent, unaware that the more she tried, the more it exposed her insecurities.

"The person Yunting brother loves has always been me."

All she needed was to firmly hold Ye Yunting’s heart, and that was enough!

"Then I wish you get what you desire," replied Chu Nanli, never picking up on Lin Fuying’s intended topic, infuriating her even more.

Looking at Lin Fuying’s face made her feel sick, so she gladly found an excuse to leave, planning to get some fresh air.

After all, Lin Fuying hadn’t gained any advantage in front of her just now.

Watching Chu Nanli’s retreating figure, a sharp glint momentarily flashed in Lin Fuying’s eyes.

Today, beside Xiaoyun, she had also brought another unfamiliar maid.

At a glance from her, Xiaoyun quietly followed behind Chu Nanli.

Chu Nanli was feeling too unwell, barely walking out of the crowd when she couldn’t help but lean against a tree trunk, retching a few times.

"Are you alright?" Yanyan asked worriedly at her side, "Otherwise, let’s go back first."

"I’m fine, just get me a cup of hot tea,"

The reason Chu Nanli was feeling so ill was partly due to being disgusted by Lin Fuying’s earlier demeanor.

Unable to persuade her, Yanyan ultimately had to do as Chu Nanli asked.

Their master and servant did not notice that Xiaoyun was following them from a distance neither far nor near.

Chu Nanli had only stepped out for a moment to catch her breath, and quickly returned to the feast.

Aside from Lin Fuying, nobody else noticed her absence.

Upon her return, Lin Fuying looked at Chu Nanli with pretended affection.

"Sister, you must have wanted to see brother Yunting today, right? Later, brother Yunting will come to look for me, would you like to join me in meeting him?"

Unexpectedly to her, Chu Nanli not only didn’t mind, but actually agreed.

"It so happens, I also have matters to discuss with him." Chu Nanli glanced her way indifferently, her look seeming to see through Lin Fuying’s pretense in just that moment.

For a moment, Lin Fuying’s smile appeared forced.

She hadn’t forgotten what Ye Yunting had tasked her with by having her attend today.

Thinking thus, she picked up a pastry from in front of her, as if to conceal something, and swallowed it down quickly.

Chu Nanli frowned, not quite understanding what Lin Fuying was trying to do.

But she soon understood.

After swallowing the pastry, Lin Fuying’s breathing became rapid.

She reached out to grab Chu Nanli’s sleeve but Chu Nanli nimbly dodged it.

Chu Nanli’s evasion was exactly what Lin Fuying had anticipated.

She fell to the side, accidentally touching the plates on the table, and the sound of the porcelain shattering drew everyone’s attention.

By the time everyone at the feast looked over, Lin Fuying had already collapsed, looking pale and weak.

"Sister, why do you want to harm me..."

Her last words before fainting directly framed Chu Nanli.

Chu Nanli remained calm, as if the storm raging around her wasn’t concerning her at all.

She finally understood, was Lin Fuying trying to frame her?

But for what reason?

When Ye Yunting came to her, face flushed with rage, Chu Nanli finally understood.

It turns out Lin Fuying had orchestrated this elaborate play just to make Ye Yunting despise her more?

The Princess Consort had already had someone take Lin Fuying to a deserted courtyard.

The guests had all been sent away.

"Prince, you must seek justice for the concubine!"

Xiaoyun saw Ye Yunting approaching and knelt before him with a thump.

"The concubine has suffered too much, just now she said so many good words to the princess consort, but the princess consort was still indifferent to her. Now we don’t know why she fainted, if the concubine does not wake up, even at the risk of my own life, I must find the person who harmed her!"

Her ambiguous words directly made Ye Yunting’s gaze fall on Chu Nanli.

"Chu Nanli, what exactly happened here?"

Chu Nanli met his gaze fearlessly, "It has nothing to do with me."

She hadn’t touched Lin Fuying at all in front of everyone just now, had she?

"Yingying sincerely apologized to you, why didn’t you accept?" Ye Yunting’s face turned even uglier.

"Just because she apologizes, I should accept?"

Chu Nanli was almost driven to laughter by Ye Yunting’s absurdity.

Had his brain been muddled?

"So according to the Prince, if I were to kill the Prince and then apologize sincerely, that would just settle the matter?"

Chu Nanli couldn’t be bothered to repeat the words Lin Fuying had just uttered; after all, whatever she said, Ye Yunting wouldn’t believe her.

It was just a waste of breath.

"Utterly nonsensical!"

Ye Yunting was infuriated by Chu Nanli’s logic, smoke practically billowing from his orifices.
