My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 289 - 290 Blame

Chapter 289: Chapter 290 Blame

Lin Fuying’s originally pitiable expression instantly developed a crack.

How could Ye Yunting abandon her to choose Chu Nanli!

"You, stop right there for His Highness!"

Ye Yunting, who chased after Chu Nanli, actually did not look very good.

With today’s events yet to be clarified with Chu Nanli, how could he possibly let her leave?

"Now that it has been cleared up, the poison was not administered by me, could it be that the Prince still insists on forcing me to confess to a crime I did not commit?"

The maid’s behavior revealed quite a few issues.

Yet Ye Yunting, blinded by Lin Fuying, failed to see even such an obvious matter.

"Even if the poison that Yingying suffered from was not administered by you, if it weren’t for your constant antagonism towards Yingying, how could I have misunderstood you?" Ye Yunting still carried an air of superiority, his words laced with arrogance.

Following his logic, could it be that if she were to be bullied to death by Lin Fuying, it would still not concern Lin Fuying at all?

Even though it was clear that this was the kind of person Ye Yunting was, hearing these words still caused Chu Nanli’s rage to flare up in an instant.

She truly felt the original owner was wronged.

How could she have been so blind to have fallen for such a despicable man?

However, she was feeling quite unwell and could not be bothered to argue with Ye Yunting.

"Then, Prince, you might as well comfort your Concubine properly."

Chu Nanli took a step back, wishing she could put a boundary like the Chu-Han contention line between herself and Ye Yunting.

Isn’t his heart filled with Lin Fuying? What is he doing chasing after her now?

"Yingying is a person of pure kindness and naturally will not stoop to your level. Whatever needs to be said, Yingying must have already said it. You will prepare to move back to the Prince Residence in a few days," Ye Yunting said to Chu Nanli in a manner as if bestowing a favor, his imperious attitude almost laughable.

One really wouldn’t know if he would still speak so if he knew what Lin Fuying had just said.

"On what basis?"

Chu Nanli narrowed her eyes, suddenly letting out a cold laugh.

"Prince, do not forget the promise you made back then. If the Prince really breaks his word, then I shall make public the agreement of that day and see how the people will judge!"

She would not mind bringing the matter to the attention of the Golden Throne Hall, either.

Although doing so could very likely anger the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, it would still be better than facing the sickening facade of Ye Yunting.

"Chu Nanli, what on earth do you want to do?" Upon hearing her say this, Ye Yunting became even more furious.

Chu Nanli stared at him, her voice placid: "The Prince is well aware that I now only desire a divorce."

"Don’t you even think about it!"

Whenever Ye Yunting heard the word ’divorce’, he reacted as if a raw nerve had been struck.

His eyes were full of possessiveness towards Chu Nanli. After all, it was Chu Nanli who had approached him initially, wasn’t it?

Even if he did not like Chu Nanli, he would never allow her to leave!

Not unless he grew tired of her!

"In that case, then..."

Just as Chu Nanli began to speak, she felt the world spin around her.

Ye Yunting’s pupils constricted, and he instinctively moved forward to support her.

But two people were quicker than him.

Zhuang Muyan appeared out of nowhere, cutting in front of him, blocking his path.

Yanyan quickly supported Chu Nanli, staring at her with a worried face.

"Move out of the way for His Highness!" Ye Yunting’s face turned even uglier immediately.

"Don’t you see my master is unwell? She is already like this, could it be that the Prince still wants to harm her?"

It must be said, Zhuang Muyan’s mind was likely missing a screw.

Ever since he had nearly seen Ye Yunting resort to violence last time, he had become even more wary of him.

In his eyes, Ye Yunting had become someone who would only use brute force to solve his problems.

"Who said I was going to hit her?" Ye Yunting was so angry he clenched his fists, wishing he could give Zhuang Muyan a good beating.

But he soon calmed down, remembering that he was in the Duke Residence.

Zhuang Muyan ignored him, instead turning to Chu Nanli, "Master, are you alright? Don’t worry, even though I can’t defeat this guy, if he really tries to hit you, I will run out and call for help immediately!"

With him there, he wouldn’t stand idly by and watch his master be bullied!

"I’m fine, just a bit too overworked lately."

Chu Nanli had only felt a moment of dizziness, still troubled by the child in her womb.

In front of Ye Yunting, of course, she wouldn’t reveal it.

With Yanyan’s support, Chu Nanli had already stood up straight.

"If the Prince has no further matters, I shall take my leave."

"Get out," Ye Yunting said with a stony face, ultimately not troubling her anymore.

Chu Nanli didn’t know if it was her own misconception, but just now, she thought she’d seen concern in Ye Yunting’s eyes?

It must have been her imagination.

How could Ye Yunting possibly be worried about her?

After she left, Ye Yunting went straight back to the War King Residence.

Lin Fuying, completely forgotten in the Duke Residence, was naturally indignant but dared not express it.

By the time she returned to the Prince Residence, it was evening.

Lin Fuying certainly couldn’t blame Ye Yunting and instead took out her frustrations on Chu Nanli.

"That vile woman, did she really bring up divorce with brother Yunting?"

Upon hearing Xiaoyun’s words, Lin Fuying felt pleased, yet she was still somewhat cautious.

This couldn’t be another of Chu Nanli’s ploys of releasing in order to capture, could it?

She really didn’t understand why Chu Nanli had suddenly become so clever.

Could it be that there really was a wise person advising her from behind the scenes?

Otherwise, with Chu Nanli’s simple mind, how could she come up with such a clever plan?

"The Princess Consort did raise the issue," Xiaoyun said, steeling herself to speak, "but it seems the Prince didn’t agree..."

"Impossible!"

Lin Fuying’s shrill voice cut Xiaoyun off, and she glared at Xiaoyun irritably.

"How could I not know how much brother Yunting detests that woman? If he didn’t agree, there must be a reason for it."

Perhaps brother Yunting simply felt that it would be a blow to his pride if Chu Nanli were the one to bring up the divorce!

"No, this might be another scheme by that wretched woman!"

She knew Ye Yunting’s pride too well; how could he tolerate such defiance from Chu Nanli?

Perhaps Chu Nanli had also considered this and thus had taken the initiative to raise the issue of divorce.

The expressions on Lin Fuying’s face were unpredictable, and Xiaoyun by her side was even more frightened.

She couldn’t help but mutter softly, "Concubine, you don’t have to worry so much. In my view, the Princess Consort is just unlucky. When you had me follow her earlier, I saw that she was unwell."

"Perhaps one day, if the Princess Consort falls seriously ill, you won’t have to worry anymore?"

"Unwell?" Lin Fuying frowned and stared intently at Xiaoyun.

"You said she was unwell; were there any obvious symptoms?"

"Not really, I just saw her retching a few times, and her complexion didn’t look very good."

Xiaoyun did not ponder deeply, merely reporting what she had seen with honesty.
