My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 307 - 308: Return to Prince Residence

Chapter 307: Chapter 308: Return to Prince Residence

Ye Yunting’s tone was still commanding.

"Tell her, if she arouses the Emperor’s suspicion, she should never expect to step out of the War King Residence again!"

Ye Yi could only helplessly comply, but he couldn’t help but grumble internally.

With the Prince’s way of requesting someone’s presence, it would be strange if any Princess Consort who wasn’t so deeply virtuous would comply.

"Alright, you better go now."

He only asked Ye Yi to invite someone because he was left with no other choice.

It was certainly not about yielding to that woman!

After Ye Yunting hurriedly left, Lin Fuying still foolishly stared in the direction he had gone.

Seeing her like this, Bai Wuheng felt even more heartache.

He couldn’t resist comforting her, "Yingying, sooner or later, Yunting will divorce that woman, and this War King Princess Consort’s position will always be yours."

"Brother Bai, I, I’ve never thought about wanting the Princess Consort’s position, let alone stealing my sister’s things."

Lin Fuying feigned innocence as she shook her head, then continued to pretend to be concerned.

"I truly think my sister is unwell, why don’t you go and check on her instead?"

"As the saying goes, ’physicians cannot heal themselves.’ No matter how skilled my sister’s medical abilities are, she ultimately can’t treat herself."

As long as Bai Wuheng could check Chu Nanli’s pulse, she could confirm her own suspicions.

After all, Bai Wuheng had once promised her that he would never hide anything from her.

Seeing her earnestly pleading, Bai Wuheng could only agree to do so.

"However, I will not go to her to offer treatment. When she comes back to the Prince Residence, I’ll see what I can do then."

He suspected that if he went out of his way, she might not appreciate it!

"Then I will surely find a way to invite my sister over!"

And in doing so, expose her scandal of bearing an illegitimate child!

Bai Wuheng’s face unconsciously revealed a look of indulgence, "You’ve always been so kind-hearted since you were young."

He was always grateful that the little girl who had saved him from the venomous snakes had always been well protected by him.

Without his protection, with Yingying’s tender nature, there’s no telling how much hardship she would have endured.

...

Ye Yi certainly dared not relay Ye Yunting’s exact words to Chu Nanli.

He softened them quite a bit.

"A reward from the palace?"

Chu Nanli knew that if someone from the palace came tomorrow and did not see her,

they would definitely report her absence from the Prince Residence back to the Emperor and Concubine Yang Shu.

Then, her troubles would only increase, and the divorce would inevitably be delayed further.

The problem was, given today’s confrontation, she didn’t think she could peacefully coexist with Ye Yunting upon returning to the Prince Residence.

Not to mention dealing with Lin Fuying, who was always scheming against her.

But if she openly refused, her troubles would only increase.

She couldn’t help but lift her hand to rub her brow, her distraught expression obvious.

"Otherwise, why don’t you feign illness, Master? Just tell the palace that you are sick."

This suggestion from Yanyan wasn’t really a lie.

After all, they had all seen that Chu Nanli had been unwell these past few days and were constantly worried about her.

Chu Nanli slowly shook her head, "That won’t deceive the palace."

Not to speak of whether the Emperor would become suspicious, she feared that once Concubine Yang Shu seized this handle, she would not let it go easily.

She would definitely make things difficult for her.

"Forget it, I’ll just make the trip."

Knowing Ye Yunting’s character and the people present from the palace, Nanli believed he would not commit excessive actions within their view.

Chu Nanli was well aware that should the royal court discover her moving out of the Prince Residence,

Ye Yunting would surely place all the blame on her again.

"But master, the Prince he’s just too..."

In front of Ye Yi, Yanyan did not finish her sentence.

However, these past few days, Ye Yunting had already bullied their master twice.

Going back to the Prince Residence would just be inviting more mistreatment, wouldn’t it?

"Princess Consort, after the Prince returned to the Prince Residence, he actually began to feel some regret," Ye Yi said stiffly, still speaking up for his lord in front of Chu Nanli.

"Regret? Did he then challenge Lin Fuying?"

Chu Nanli smiled indifferently. Given that she was not as concerned about Ye Yunting as her predecessor, she naturally wouldn’t feel heartbroken over his attitude.

"If he hasn’t taken action, where is the regret? I fear that after returning, he’d hasten to appease his concubine."

Her straightforwardness made it even harder for Ye Yi to respond.

"Go back and tell him that I will come over myself tomorrow. Make sure he manages the people of the Prince Residence well, so no unpleasant voices reach the royal court!"

Considering she had not yet divorced Ye Yunting, Nanli naturally had to be cautious.

Once divorced, they would go their separate ways, and she would not help Ye Yunting whitewash the truth.

Upon hearing Chu Nanli agree, Lin Fuying quickly schemed in her heart.

Even now, she could not be certain whether Chu Nanli was indeed carrying an illegitimate child.

Outside, she had to be careful, but within the grounds of the Prince Residence, wasn’t Chu Nanli at her mercy?

Of course, she still had to be careful not to let Ye Yunting find out.

...

Perhaps knowing the tough situation she would face, Chu Nanli felt much better the next night,

At the very least, she managed to eat a little.

She hesitated for a moment but decided not to take the medication that could suppress pregnancy symptoms.

For one thing, she had already taken it several times these past days, and taking it more could harm her body.

More so, she feared affecting the child in her womb.

At this key stage of the child’s growth and development, those drugs might make her feel better but could ultimately harm the child.

As she once again appeared at the entrance of the War King Residence, Chu Nanli’s face was utterly unflappable.

Seeing Chu Nanli, Lin Fuying quickly put on a smiling face, assuming the demeanor of the mistress of the Prince Residence.

"Why didn’t Yunting brother have someone come to fetch sister?"

She took advantage of Ye Yunting’s absence to whisper to Chu Nanli,

"I just think, sister always acts too boldly, and you have upset Yunting brother again."

"What do you plan to use this time?"

In her view, Chu Nanli’s behavior over the past few days couldn’t possibly win back Yunting.

Maintaining her composure, Chu Nanli met her gaze: "Don’t forget, today, it was Yunting who asked me to come. If I leave now, how will you explain when the court’s emissary arrives later?"

"You should know; since entering the residence, I have only seen you."

"Chu Nanli!"

Lin Fuying’s facade of cordiality instantly crumbled.

She stared fiercely at Chu Nanli: "Don’t think using a bit of hard-to-get tactics will make Yunting brother like you! Yunting brother today only let you come out of consideration for the bigger picture."

"Now, I’m running everything in the Prince Residence, and everyone recognizes only me as their master. You, as a Princess Consort, are nothing but an empty title from the start!"

Chu Nanli glanced at her dispassionately, truly not understanding why Lin Fuying was always so overconfident.

"Then why do you have to emphasize it repeatedly? Could it be because you feel guilty?"
