My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 315 - 316: Decision

Chapter 315: Chapter 316: Decision

Chu Nanli saw the two of them and directly asked, "What’s the situation outside now?"

"The prince had just left not long ago when Ye Yi led his men over and surrounded our courtyard."

It was fortunate that it was Ye Yi who came on the command.

He simply followed Ye Yunting’s orders to guard the front and back entrances without doing anything else.

"So now, is there no way to exit openly and honorably?"

By now, since the pregnancy had been exposed, Chu Nanli naturally had no other reservations.

As for the "adulterer" Ye Yunting was obsessively concerned about...

Wasn’t it none other than himself?

Since he didn’t want to accept this child, she wouldn’t let the child know about Ye Yunting’s existence in the future either.

What concerned her more now was the statement Ye Yunting had made before he left.

Given Lin Fuying’s personality, if she had really been involved with Ye Yunting, how could she possibly resist boasting about it to her?

Lin Fuying hadn’t mentioned a word.

Didn’t that explain everything?

"Chu Yi, find a way to go out and check if Lin Fuying has learned anything from Xingshan Temple."

Chu Yi tentatively said, "Master suspects... Is it because I have not been efficient in handling matters, that I haven’t found any useful information even after all this time?"

The master had entrusted him with such an important matter, yet he had not managed it well—it was all his fault!

His guilt was almost written on his face.

Chu Nanli intervened to stop his self-reproach, "You have so many things to take care of on a regular basis, you can’t blame yourself for this, why are you reproaching yourself?"

These past few days, because her pregnancy reactions were really severe, she had almost delegated all the affairs of the martial arts school to Chu Yi.

Chu Yi, being a stickler for perfection, strived for excellence in everything.

Zhuang Lin had even specifically asked her what benefits she had given to Chu Yi to make him work so hard.

"Enough, now is not the time to talk about these matters. You should find a way to go out and gather information, the sooner the better."

Now Chu Nanli was not too worried about Ye Yunting doing anything to her.

After all, before taking any action, he would definitely consider the palace first,

Especially the Emperor.

The Emperor had suddenly fainted before, and except for her, everyone else was powerless.

Although after her last visit for treatment, the likelihood of the Emperor suddenly fainting again had been greatly reduced,

But who could guarantee it?

"Yes, I’ll find a way to go out and gather information right now."

Chu Yi’s many worries ultimately remained unspoken.

The people guarding outside only prevented Chu Nanli from leaving, but they weren’t intending to trap them to death here.

Chu Yi changed his clothes, disguised as a servant boy going out to make purchases, and quickly blended in and slipped out.

Once outside, he went straight to Zhuang Lin according to Chu Nanli’s instructions.

"What on earth is the War King planning to do?"

Zhuang Lin was well aware that Chu Yi was not one to make empty threats, so he did not question what he said.

He was just puzzled about what Ye Yunting was really planning.

Previously, when he didn’t know Chu Nanli well and heard that the War King had married a common girl, he thought the War King must have truly loved this woman.

Otherwise, why would he make her the War Princess Consort?

But now, it seemed the reality was obviously not the case.

He had even doubted whether Chu Nanli had been coerced into marrying the War King because some leverage had been held against her.

Chu Yi did not elaborate on Chu Nanli’s pregnancy, only mentioning that there were some misunderstandings that needed to be cleared up.

"The master said, if Boss Zhuang is willing to help, we could offer an additional ten percent profits from the operations of the martial arts school in the future."

After all, although Zhuang Lin was the manager of Xuanbao Pavilion, facing Ye Yunting was not necessarily going to be advantageous for him.

Chu Nanli would not let him labor for nothing.

"There’s no need for concessions, given my relationship with Miss Chu, why bother with these pretentious formalities?"

Anyway, the power he employed was not his own.

Ye Jiuxiao, that fellow, cared about Chu Nanli much more than he did.

"So, whatever you want to find out, just speak directly to my subordinates."

Zhuang Lin thought for a moment, then decisively decided to have Chu Yi directly contact Ye Jiuxiao’s people.

What he did not realize was that Chu Yi’s smooth departure today was not only thanks to Ye Yi’s efforts, but also the efforts of the people Ye Jiuxiao had secretly positioned near Chu Nanli’s residence for protection.

And now, Chu Nanli’s situation had already been sent to the Southern Border.

...

Upon knowing that Ye Yunting had left the Prince Residence with Bai Wuheng, Lin Fuying wished she could have gone with them.

Only she felt it inappropriate to voice this desire.

She waited in the Prince Residence, left and right, and finally, Ye Yunting returned.

According to Xiaoyun, Ye Yunting’s face did not look good when he returned.

Moreover, upon his return, he immediately had Ye Yi lead the guards of the Prince Residence out, though it was unclear where they went.

She did not dare to provoke Ye Yunting at such a time, so she simply had someone fetch Bai Wuheng again.

Bai Wuheng, as always, was an open book to her.

"Really?"

After getting the confirmed news from Bai Wuheng, Lin Fuying did not show much surprise, but her anger was more pronounced.

How could Chu Nanli be so lucky!

One gone, yet another remains in her womb.

Coupled with what she had previously learned, Lin Fuying was basically certain that the child was not some illegitimate offspring, but Ye Yunting’s child!

She did not intend to let Ye Yunting know the truth.

In Ye Yunting’s eyes, the previous child had already been consumed by her as part of a medicine.

If Ye Yunting knew that it was his own child, he would definitely...

No, that kind of possibility could not exist!

"That’s great then," she continued to feign concern, "I had been worried that my sister, having lost her child, might develop some mental scars."

"Now that there is still a child in my sister’s womb, she should be able to cope better."

"That child is but an entity of unknown origin."

Bai Wuheng had just witnessed Ye Yunting’s furious demeanor, and naturally understood his attitude towards this child.

This child was most likely not going to be kept.

"Doesn’t that make sister too pitiable?"

Lin Fuying showed a face full of concern, while secretly delighting in her heart.

So what if Chu Nanli had conceived before her, now that the child was treated as illegitimate, she, in the eyes of brother Yunting, had also become a woman of loose morals.

"She has been scheming to harm you, why should you worry about her?"

Bai Wuheng tried to comfort her, but still showed concern for her before he left.

What he did not know was that the moment he left, Lin Fuying revealed her malicious true face.

"Chu Nanli, you must be very heartbroken now, right?"

It was just a pity that she could not witness Chu Nanli’s devastated state personally.

The pain of having the child inside her womb deemed illegitimate by her beloved, Chu Nanli had to endure it twice.

In her view, Chu Nanli’s child was simply a debt collector!
