My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 303 - 304

Chapter 303: 304

"What’s happened to that woman again?"

Nobody dared to bring up Chu Nanli in front of Ye Yunting on a normal day.

Now, rumors were rampant everywhere, yet he remained oblivious.

Bai Wuheng sneered coldly, "The way people talk about that woman now, it’s disgraceful. In my view, this is her true nature, it’s just that it has come to light now!"

He had always been biased against Chu Nanli.

Part of it was due to Lin Fuying’s instigation.

But it was mostly because of Chu Nanli’s medical skills.

Bai Wuheng had been dubbed a Divine Doctor since he was young, but now he was repeatedly humiliated by Chu Nanli.

How could he swallow this blow to his pride?

"Back when she was in the Prince Residence, she bullied Yingying at every turn. Now that she has moved out, she’s caused so much gossip that it might even tarnish Yingying’s reputation. What exactly is she plotting?"

He didn’t care about Chu Nanli’s fate; his heart was only with Lin Fuying.

Ye Yunting unconsciously furrowed his brows, "Ye Yi, what exactly is going on?"

Ye Yi had long wanted to report the outside rumors to the Prince.

But they were so outrageous, and Ye Yunting had once instructed that he not be disturbed with anything concerning Chu Nanli unless necessary.

And so, Ye Yi had remained silent.

Now that Ye Yunting had asked, Ye Yi naturally would not hide anything.

Of course, his words were much more reasonable than Bai Wuheng’s.

"Such absurd claims are simply laughable!"

Ye Yunting did not erupt with anger as Bai Wuheng had anticipated, but his expression grew grave.

"What if they’re just rumors? Now the whole capital knows that the War King’s Princess Consort has moved out of the Prince Residence."

Bai Wuheng couldn’t help but snort coldly; he truly did not care what became of Chu Nanli, but if she brought trouble to Yingying, he could not sit idly by.

"In my opinion, it might very well be her who spread the news, probably to make it seem to outsiders as if Yingying pushed her out. Only now, her scheme has backfired!"

Ye Yunting’s face looked somewhat gloomy. He glanced at Bai Wuheng before continuing in a deep voice.

"It was her own suggestion to move out in the first place."

For that, she had used Bai Wuheng as leverage to threaten him.

"So what? It could just be another one of her tactics. Don’t forget, she has already made a name for herself twice before the Emperor!"

There were some things Bai Wuheng believed he saw through clearly.

Especially Chu Nanli’s "dark" intentions.

Bai Wuheng continued to speak indignantly, "When she was in the Prince Residence, she constantly targeted Yingying. Now that she’s moved out, she still refuses to stop. You might as well divorce her directly!"

"Since when is it your place to interfere in my household affairs?"

Ye Yunting’s entire demeanor suddenly turned colder, and when he looked at Bai Wuheng, his eyes conveyed unmistakable impatience.

He still hadn’t realized that, in fact, he had no desire for a divorce at all.

"Don’t forget, we both agreed once to protect Yingying for a lifetime."

"Back in Chu Kingdom, if it hadn’t been for Yingying, I might have died there!"

It’s a pity that Yingying’s heart didn’t belong to him.

Hearing him mention the past, Ye Yunting’s expression lightened slightly.

Bai Wuheng was right; Yingying had been kind to both of them.

Looking at Ye Yunting’s face, Bai Wuheng’s frustration grew.

Ever since Chu Nanli appeared, Yingying had suffered so much, both openly and secretly!

If only he had known, he would never have pushed Yingying towards Ye Yunting!

"Yingying’s health has deteriorated quite a bit. If she hears those rumors from outside, she might become even weaker!"

Bai Wuheng stared at Ye Yunting, speaking deliberately and emphatically.

"You’d better think carefully, which is more important to you, Yingying or that woman!"

Facing his questioning, Ye Yunting didn’t respond directly.

But as soon as Bai Wuheng left, Ye Yunting’s expression changed instantly.

"Go and bring Chu Nanli back to me, bound if necessary!"

He should never have agreed to let Chu Nanli move out in the first place!

"Prince, the rumors outside are after all not to be trusted, the Princess Consort is not that kind of person, perhaps, someone is deliberately behind this."

Ye Yi could see that there had to be someone stoking the fires behind these rumors.

Unfortunately, the Prince clearly wasn’t willing to consider that.

"I saw with my own eyes, she was being intimate with another man. How could I possibly falsely accuse her?"

He then thought of the existence of Zhuang Muyan.

On the surface, they were master and apprentice, but who knows what was going on behind closed doors?

"I need to confront her in person!"

Seeing this, Ye Yi had no choice but to hurriedly follow.

Meanwhile, Chu Nanli was unaware of what was happening at the War King Residence.

She was meeting with Zhuang Lin.

More precisely, Zhuang Lin had brought two men to see her.

"Miss Chu, I’ve checked it out. The rumors started from these two men," Zhuang Lin said.

"They’ve also confessed that someone paid them silver to talk nonsense and tarnish your reputation."

Chu Nanli glanced at the men, who looked unfamiliar, not like any servants from the War King Residence.

But then again, Lin Fuying wasn’t foolish enough to use her own people to spread rumors.

"Boss Zhuang is quite efficient."

Chu Nanli was well aware that in the vastness of the capital, pinpointing the originators of a rumor was no easy task.

"After all, I have been doing business in the capital for so many years; I do have some capabilities."

In fact, as soon as he took action, Ye Jiuxiao’s people immediately brought the two men over.

But since Ye Jiuxiao didn’t allow him to divulge this, he had to take credit for their work.

"Who instructed you two?"

The men had already been dealt with by Zhuang Lin, so naturally, they spilled everything they knew.

"That person approached us in secret, and we don’t know what they look like," they said.

Zhuang Lin added from the side, "However, that person behind the scenes still owes a part of the money. If we trace back from there, we should be able to find the mastermind."

He, too, wanted to know who was targeting Chu Nanli from the shadows.

Using such despicable tactics, no less.

"If Miss Chu trusts me, allow me to continue investigating this matter. I will surely find the mastermind," Zhuang Lin offered.

Even if he couldn’t do it, weren’t there still Ye Jiuxiao’s people?

Why not use Ye Jiuxiao’s resources, available and free?

"Then I’ll leave this matter in your capable hands, Boss Zhuang."

Chu Nanli was well aware that none of the words being spread outside were true.

But if she allowed the rumors to ferment like this, it would still put her in a disadvantageous position.

Especially since someday she would have to reveal the existence of the two children.

She had wanted to investigate herself, but during this time, her health really couldn’t endure too much strain.

So she could only focus on resting well.
