My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 308 - 309 Rewards

Chapter 308: Chapter 309 Rewards

"Who’s feeling guilty now!"

Lin Fuying took a step back, stifling the panic rising at the bottom of her heart.

She quickly regained her composure, "Chu Nanli, don’t think that by saying this, you will scare me."

"Now, the one who stays by Yunting’s side is me, and in the future, it’ll only be me!"

"So I, should I wish you get what you desire?"

It would be best if you stayed locked forever with Ye Yunting, that calamity.

Chu Nanli scoffed and did not engage with her provocation, walking straight into the hall instead.

Lin Fuying’s expression darkened abruptly, but recalling the plan she had in place, she soon put on a fake smile again.

Before long, Bai Wuheng was led in by Xiaoyun.

Why had Bai Wuheng come?

Seeing Bai Wuheng with an equally unpleasant expression, Chu Nanli felt a slight sink in her heart.

She didn’t believe for a second that Bai Wuheng’s appearance here was a mere coincidence.

After all, the rewards sent from the palace would not include Bai Wuheng’s share, right?

Therefore, there was only one possibility left.

He was brought here by Lin Fuying to deal with her.

Indeed, Lin Fuying still hadn’t completely dispelled her suspicions about her.

"Brother Bai, you finally came."

Seeing Bai Wuheng still maintaining a cold demeanor, Lin Fuying felt somewhat irritated herself.

Bai Wuheng was fine in all aspects, but his excessive concern for her was truly a headache.

"Sister, when I came to visit you a few days ago, I thought you looked unwell, and you have lost a child before; it must have harmed your health. Why not let Brother Bai examine you today?"

Lin Fuying’s words seemed earnest, revealing her "concern" for Chu Nanli at every turn.

In Bai Wuheng’s eyes, this naturally served as evidence of Chu Nanli’s ingratitude.

"Your current state reminds me of a saying."

Chu Nanli leaned back in her chair, appearing relaxed, but in reality, all her muscles were tensed.

Forced to maintain the front of the innocent flower in front of Bai Wuheng, Lin Fuying could only follow up, "What saying, Sister? Are you trying to tell Yingying a joke?"

"Obviously, it’s ’a weasel paying New Year’s greetings to a chicken’—"

"No good intention!"

"Chu Nanli, Yingying is only worried about your health, which is why I asked for him to come and check on you. I didn’t expect you to be so narrow-minded!"

Bai Wuheng flung his sleeve emphatically to express his dissatisfaction with Chu Nanli.

In Lin Fuying’s presence, he still knew how to maintain some decorum.

"Examine me? You must have forgotten why I lost my child in the first place!"

"And besides, with your medical skills, better forget about it. I’m afraid if something goes wrong, I’ll need to take action myself."

Chu Nanli glanced at him contemptuously, and her attitude indeed provoked Bai Wuheng’s displeasure.

"Do you think I want to treat you? If Yingying weren’t worried about you, why would I agree to see a venomous woman like you!"

Bai Wuheng was already reluctant, and if not for Lin Fuying’s persistent persuasion, he wouldn’t have wanted to come today at all.

"I don’t need someone whose medical skills are inferior to mine to treat me either."

Chu Nanli’s face was icy, but inside she breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, Bai Wuheng was as brainless as ever.

Her attitude toward Lin Fuying had worsened just a bit, and sure enough, Bai Wuheng reacted as if someone had desecrated his ancestral grave.

No, he might not even be this angry if his actual ancestral grave were dug up.

"Yingying, you see, in my opinion, she’s the kind of person who doesn’t deserve your concern!"

Bai Wuheng, upon hearing the words "medical skills," instantly became so angry that he stomped his foot.

"The people from the palace should be here soon with rewards. I’d better go back!"

He glared fiercely at Chu Nanli before finally turning around and leaving.

Lin Fuying was caught off guard by his outburst.

If it had been before, she would certainly have rushed to comfort Bai Wuheng, and take the opportunity to belittle Chu Nanli in front of him.

But today, Bai Wuheng had truly disappointed her!

Not only did he fail to help her, but he almost made her lose face in front of Chu Nanli.

So useless!

Chu Nanli, watching Lin Fuying’s behavior at this moment, serenely opened her mouth, "I never noticed before how much you cared about my health."

"Could it be that you’re using taking my pulse as an excuse to go out and spread rumors that my life is hanging by a thread?"

"What rumors? I don’t understand what you’re talking about," Lin Fuying’s expression flickered with panic, but she quickly regained her composure.

After hearing the noise outside, she swiftly retracted her confrontational thoughts and walked to the door with an eager face.

"Yunting, Brother!"

In front of Chu Nanli, Lin Fuying wished she could cling directly to him.

But she had clearly forgotten Ye Yunting’s temperament.

Ye Yunting subtly ducked away from her hand, and with brows furrowed, walked up to Chu Nanli.

"Later, the eunuch from Father Emperor’s side will be over. If you’ve said something that should not be said..."

Chu Nanli coldly interjected, "There’s no need for the Prince to remind me!"

If she wished to make a scene, she would not have returned to the War King Residence today.

Lin Fuying watched from the side, clenching her teeth in anger, yet did not dare to utter a word.

Soon, the rewards from the palace were delivered into the Prince Residence.

"By Imperial edict, the Princess Consort of the War King has performed meritorious medical service in the palace. These pair of jade bi are the additional rewards bestowed by His Majesty to the Princess Consort."

"This son thanks Father Emperor profoundly."

After Chu Nanli gave thanks and bowed, she then signaled Yanyan to step forward and receive the rewards.

The Emperor’s additional reward was obviously meant to encourage harmony between husband and wife.

Chu Nanli, however, pretended to be clueless, acting as if she did not understand the Emperor’s intention, and had no intention of giving the other half of the jade bi to Ye Yunting.

"I am busy needing to return to the palace to report back to His Majesty, there’s no need for the Prince to see me out."

The managing eunuch, with a smile on his face, carefully tucked away the silver note, instructed his people to put down the rewards, and then led the palace attendants out of the War King Residence.

Beyond the Emperor’s rewards, there were naturally gifts from the Empress Dowager and Consort Yang Shu as well.

Consort Yang Shu’s intentions were unclear as to whom she wished to provoke.

She even symbolically rewarded Lin Fuying with a variegated jade bracelet, yet conspicuously gave nothing to Chu Nanli.

Chu Nanli, however, did not mind this one bit.

Upon seeing the additional rewards, Lin Fuying was already green with envy.

What did that vile Chu Nanli deserve!

Her icy gaze landed on Chu Nanli and then quickly retreated, replaced by an expression of concern.

"Yunting, Brother, it’s good that Sister is here today, but I’m still worried about her health, that it might leave some lingering problem."

"If Sister finds Bai Brother’s medical skills lacking and does not wish him to examine her, perhaps she should invite someone else to take a look?"

She still didn’t give up on probing Chu Nanli.

And she even dared to bring it up directly in front of Ye Yunting.

Lin Fuying gave her a challenging look and continued, "I truly am worried for Sister. After all, I’ve heard from those serving in Sister’s courtyard that since the abortifacient, it seems Sister hasn’t had her monthly period..."
