My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 306 - 307: Profoundly Understanding the Principles

Chapter 306: Chapter 307: Profoundly Understanding the Principles

"Sorry for letting you witness such a scene,"

Chu Nanli’s complexion was extremely unsightly.

She was already feeling unwell, and now she had to face Ye Yunting’s baseless accusations. By this point, she was pushing herself to the limit.

Zhuang Lin certainly noticed her discomfort, "Miss Chu, you look very pale. Are you alright?"

"The last time ... the prince ... I had someone send you some medicinal herbs. Were any of them useful? If so, I can have someone look for more."

"It’s nothing," Chu Nanli shook her head, "Just a lingering cold, I should be better after two more days of medication."

Her weakness was solely because of the child in her womb.

Initially, it was just dry heaving, but these past two days she couldn’t stomach anything at all.

If it hadn’t been for the nutrient solution she stored in her space, which barely kept her body’s needs met when she was vomiting uncontrollably,

she would have collapsed long ago.

"I never imagined, before this, that the mighty War King would be such a person,"

Zhuang Lin’s expression was too obviously filled with unsaid thoughts, especially since Ye Yunting had not restrained himself in the slightest, even with an outsider like him present.

In private, his attitude was likely even worse.

"Miss Chu, if you need any help, please feel free to ask,"

Even if he couldn’t do it himself, wasn’t there still Ye Jiuxiao?

He refused to believe that Ye Jiuxiao would remain indifferent after witnessing such a scene.

"I don’t need to trouble you for anything at the moment," Chu Nanli said, forcing a gesture with her hand, "But if I do, I will certainly ask."

Luckily, Ye Yunting has always been a man concerned with saving face.

To him, divorce would surely be a humiliation.

If that was the case, then he definitely wouldn’t allow outsiders to know about it.

"Then I will first look for the person behind this and quell the rumors outside. Miss Chu, rest assured."

He actually hoped that Chu Nanli could get a divorce from the War King.

But under the current circumstances, with the rumors outside not yet subsided, spreading news of the divorce would only worsen Chu Nanli’s reputation.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhuang."

Chu Nanli originally wanted to talk more with Zhuang Lin, but her physical strength was failing her, and she ultimately had to stop.

...

Having stormed back to the Prince Residence, Ye Yunting encountered Bai Wuheng, who had come to take Lin Fuying’s pulse.

"What’s wrong with you now?" Bai Wuheng frowned imperceptibly, "Who has offended you?"

After glancing over at Lin Fuying behind the curtain, he lowered his voice, "Yingying just had her medicine; we shouldn’t upset her. Please don’t agitate her."

Bai Wuheng’s words carried an unconscious intimacy.

Ye Yunting, on the other hand, showed no reaction whatsoever.

He didn’t even react as much when he heard about Chu Nanli meeting another man.

"I know."

Ye Yunting replied indifferently and quickly advanced further into the room.

"Yunting Brother!"

Upon seeing Ye Yunting, Lin Fuying’s face immediately lit up with a joyous smile.

But in the next instant, her expression froze due to what Ye Yunting said next.

"Just now, I went to see Chu Nanli."

Lin Fuying struggled to maintain a smile and said, "That’s true, with such ugly rumors spreading outside, it’s only right for Yunting Brother to check on Sister."

"What’s right about it? If you ask me, that woman is putting on a show all by herself just to catch your attention, Yunting!"

Bai Wuheng was still a bit concerned and followed inside regardless.

Upon hearing Ye Yunting’s words, his misunderstanding of Chu Nanli became even deeper.

"You see, now that rumors have spread outside, you’re so eager to go find her. Doesn’t that just play right into her hands?"

"I have my own measure of the situation," the Prince retorted.

Ye Yunting frowned slightly, not quite agreeing with Bai Wuheng’s words.

But in the end, he didn’t argue and continued, "Today, she told me that the rumors were deliberately started by someone with ulterior motives."

"How could that be!"

Lin Fuying exclaimed in shock, quickly realizing her lapse and promptly finding words to recover.

"How could there be such a malicious person! By spreading such words in secret, do they intend to ruin my sister’s reputation?"

"Who knows if she isn’t just saying this because the situation has spiraled out of control and she hastily came up with an excuse. With her character, what wouldn’t she do?"

Otherwise, when he came down with smallpox in the palace back then, she wouldn’t have been so indifferent.

If Yingying possessed such medical skills, she definitely wouldn’t have stood by without helping!

"Enough!"

"She is, after all, the Princess Consort of this Prince now. By continuously slandering her, are you showing contempt for me as well?"

Bai Wuheng pursed his lips.

In his heart, Ye Yunting knew that he was also speaking ill of Chu Nanli, yet now he defended her.

Ultimately, he cared the most about his own face.

Lin Fuying’s gaze darkened, but she still went along with Ye Yunting’s words.

"That’s right, Brother Bai, she is now the Princess Consort. No matter how unpleasant the rumors outside are... she is after all a person of the Prince Residence."

"Although she does not wish to return to the Prince Residence now, ultimately, no one can replace her position."

After she spoke, Bai Wuheng was not in a good position to say anything further.

Lin Fuying then looked at Ye Yunting cautiously, "Yunting brother, if you still want sister to come back, Yingying can help."

"The last time I saw her, I felt that her complexion was not good. She must have suffered a lot outside. Even if sister does not want to come back, it would be good for Brother Bai to examine her health."

Bai Wuheng remained cold-faced, his concern for her health evident, though he ultimately chose to remain silent.

But deep down, he was reluctant.

Her eloquence in "acknowledging the bigger picture" moved both men emotionally, particularly Bai Wuheng.

Just as Ye Yunting was about to speak, he was interrupted by Ye Yi, who suddenly appeared at the door.

"Prince, someone from the palace has arrived."

"What happened?"

The one who came from the palace was a Senior Palace Maid from Yang Shu’s side.

First, she bowed to Ye Yunting, then began to speak, "Her Majesty sent me to deliver a message. Due to the Emperor’s discomfort, this year’s Rehua banquet will be kept simple, and the Princes do not need to enter the palace. However, His Majesty and Her Majesty will send gifts out of the palace tomorrow, and the Prince should prepare early."

Of course, Yang Shu wasn’t worried about her own son.

She was only concerned that Chu Nanli, that woman, might drop the ball during such a time.

What she didn’t know was that Chu Nanli had truly moved out of the War King Residence.

"Understood, you may return and inform Mother Consort that tomorrow, I will present the Princess Consort and express our gratitude properly, ensuring there are no mistakes!"

After the Palace Maid departed, a layer of frost covered Ye Yunting’s face once again.

If the visiting crowd from the palace fails to see Chu Nanli tomorrow, it is bound to get reported back to the palace.

The outside rumors have yet to settle, and if everything spreads to the palace, the consequences will be severe.

By then, the trouble he faces will be even greater.

"Ye Yi, go tell that woman to come back to the Prince Residence tomorrow."
