My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 304 - 305

Chapter 304: 305

Ye Yunting had already arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.

Upon seeing the unfamiliar carriage parked at the courtyard gate, his expression darkened instantly.

"Prince, the main gate is wide open, the Princess Consort must be inside discussing affairs with someone. Should I go in first to announce?"

"No need!"

Ye Yunting stepped forward briskly; he wanted to see for himself how many men Chu Nanli, this woman, had secretly been involved with behind his back.

Inside the hall, Zhuang Lin had already finished his business with Chu Nanli and was preparing to leave.

It was at this moment that Ye Yunting entered.

"Why has the Prince come again?"

Upon seeing Ye Yunting’s face, a flash of disgust and impatience quickly crossed Chu Nanli’s face.

Of course, she did not show this in front of Ye Yunting but concealed it quite well.

"If I hadn’t come here, how would I have encountered you secretly meeting with another man!"

Secretly meeting?

Chu Nanli almost burst into laughter due to Ye Yunting’s baseless accusation.

"Which eye of yours saw me secretly meeting with someone else, Prince?"

Chu Nanli emphasized the words "secretly meeting" heavily, not very keen to drag others into her disputes with Ye Yunting.

"With the doors wide open, in broad daylight, what secret meeting are you talking about?"

Her calm composure, in the eyes of Ye Yunting, seemed like a forced calmness.

"Who knows what you might have done before I arrived?"

"Chu Nanli, you had better not forget, you are still my Princess Consort!"

Ye Yunting completely ignored Zhuang Lin standing aside and continued glaring at Chu Nanli.

Is that all he knows to say?

Chu Nanli suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and continued, "Prince, have you ever heard a saying."

"Filthy people see everything as filthy."

"Are you implying that I misunderstood you?"

Ye Yunting was well aware that he hadn’t actually seen Chu Nanli being intimate with anyone else, so such accusations indeed had little merit.

But so what?

If it weren’t for Chu Nanli’s previous behavior, how could he have misunderstood her so easily?

Perhaps, she and this man hadn’t yet had the chance to initiate something.

"Prince, I was merely here to deliver the auction dividends to Miss Chu."

Zhuang Lin unfolded his fan, displaying a business-like smile specially reserved for dealing with troublemakers.

"Miss Chu’s master had consigned a batch of medicine at Xuanbao Pavilion. Since the Divine Doctor Liuli is always elusive, we thought it best to deliver the silver directly to Miss Chu."

Previously, Chu Nanli had admitted in the palace that she was the disciple of Divine Doctor Liuli, but this information wasn’t broadly publicized.

However, with Zhuang Lin’s resources, he was the first to know this piece of news.

Today’s excuse came at just the right time.

"Is it you?"

It was after he spoke that Ye Yunting looked towards Zhuang Lin’s direction.

And recognized him then.

While he still didn’t believe that Zhuang Lin and Chu Nanli had nothing to do with each other, considering Xuanbao Pavilion’s status in the capital, he somewhat eased his expression.

"Master Zhuang came to see the Prince’s Princess Consort merely to deliver silver?"

Suppressing the rage in his heart, he looked towards Chu Nanli.

"If that’s the case, there was no need for Master Zhuang to personally deliver it, right?"

Zhuang Lin involuntarily furrowed his brows upon hearing these words.

Why did he feel like the War King relished the thought of his princess consort betraying him?

Was there really someone who’d eagerly put on their own cuckold’s horns?

"Liuli Divine Doctor’s choice to opt for Xuanbao Pavilion is a trust in us. Naturally, we have to show absolute sincerity."

He exchanged a glance with Chu Nanli, really wanting to ask why Chu Nanli had initially chosen Ye Yunting.

Could it be that Miss Chu’s mind had once been damaged?

Feeling his questioning gaze, Chu Nanli also felt somewhat embarrassed.

Actually, the original choice to pick Ye Yunting was also due to some serendipitous reasons.

If she had known from the beginning that Ye Yunting would cause her such suffering, she definitely would not have chosen Ye Yunting again.

Seeing the two of them exchanging glances right in his presence, Ye Yunting suddenly grew even more uncontrollably angry.

Zhuang Lin continued, "Prince, perhaps you don’t know yet that Miss Chu is a disciple of the Liuli Divine Doctor?"

He was aware that Ye Yunting was also in the palace that day but couldn’t help taunting him.

Ye Yunting naturally noticed Zhuang Lin’s barely concealed targeting.

What made him even more upset was the familiarity that oozed from Zhuang Lin’s tone.

"I am perfectly aware, of course! Could it be that I, as her husband, know less than an outsider like you?"

Ye Yunting snorted coldly, simply unable to stop himself from looking at Chu Nanli.

"If it was merely a matter of delivering silver, what then is the meaning of these two people’s presence?"

Again with that interrogative tone.

Chu Nanli genuinely wanted to ask Ye Yunting, on what grounds was he speaking.

Clearly previously, he had never cared about the original’s welfare.

He had even almost killed his own child.

"Prince, you must have heard the rumors outside today, haven’t you?" Chu Nanli spread her hands, laying everything out in the open.

"These two people were spreading rumors behind others, I have already questioned them. Someone gave them silver to deliberately fabricate rumors about me."

"So what?"

Ye Yunting felt somewhat unstable under her gaze.

But how could he concede in front of Chu Nanli, "If it weren’t for your indiscreet behavior usually, how could these rumors spread so quickly?"

If only Chu Nanli could be as virtuous as Yingying, it wouldn’t have come to this.

He should have dealt with Chu Nanli when he got rid of that bastard child, instead of being soft-hearted and letting her go!

This time, Chu Nanli really laughed out of sheer anger.

She had originally thought that Ye Yunting’s usual foolishness was partly because he was brainwashed by Lin Fuying.

Only now did she realize that Ye Yunting and Lin Fuying were cut from the same cloth.

Both were overly arrogant, living only within their own perceptions.

"If that’s the case, why didn’t you think about this, Prince—of the few people who know I’ve moved out of Prince Residence, who else might be spreading rumors to frame me?"

"If I wanted to stir things up, during the last meeting with His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, I would have spoken up long ago. Why wait until now?"

"Of course, I wouldn’t expect you, Prince, to stoop to such deeds, but please, think about it—who else would benefit from tarnishing my reputation behind my back?"

Chu Nanli had originally planned to expose Lin Fuying’s schemes after gathering evidence against her.

Since Lin Fuying was so keen on framing her, she could also present her a grand gift.

Laying it all out in the open.

But seeing Ye Yunting’s belligerent mood today, Chu Nanli still couldn’t help but speak first.

"Prince, why don’t you consider, if I were to become defamed, who stands to gain the most?"

With these words, Chu Nanli all but named Lin Fuying, making everything crystal clear.
