My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 316 - 317: Pleading for Mercy

Chapter 316: Chapter 317: Pleading for Mercy

"Dong Yue, go fetch me some tea and snacks,"

Once Dong Yue was dispatched, Lin Fuying continued to speak to Xiaoyun.

"Have someone watch outside Chu Nanli’s courtyard. If there’s any disturbance, come back and report to me immediately,"

"Yes."

Xiaoyun had just made a mistake, and now she was even more careful not to neglect the task Lin Fuying had given her.

"However, Concubine, it’s obvious the child in the Princess Consort’s womb is a bastard. Why do you pay it so much attention?"

"This child, even if he were to be born, won’t receive the Prince’s affection. Besides, how could the Prince tolerate the Princess Consort giving birth to another man’s child?"

"I’m afraid this time, the Princess Consort’s position is truly in jeopardy!"

Lin Fuying was wary of everyone around her, including Xiaoyun and Dong Yue, none of whom knew the truth of the matter.

They really believed that the child wasn’t Ye Yunting’s.

"What do you know!"

Lin Fuying couldn’t help but scold, her eyes filled with venom.

Others might not be aware, but how could she possibly not know.

Now, although Wanguzi is dead, Chu Nanli can’t find a witness, there’s no proof of who was at Xingshan Temple that night.

But once the child is born, won’t there be evidence?

Unless, of course, that child simply can’t be born!

"Go out again, find some medicinal herbs to bring back."

Lin Fuying listed several herbs; if Bai Wuheng were here, he would know these were all herbs that could induce a miscarriage.

He had, in fact, taught Lin Fuying quite a few things.

But all she learned were ways to harm others.

Lin Fuying originally planned to mix these herbs into food and take it directly to Chu Nanli.

But she thought again, Chu Nanli was so cautious around her.

Anything she sent, Chu Nanli would certainly not touch.

Unless she could send it in another way.

For example, in the name of Ye Yunting.

Send a bowl of abortion medicine directly.

But after the person who went to snoop returned, Lin Fuying learned that her wishful thinking was destined to fail.

"How could Yunting let Ye Yi guard there? Is he imprisoning her or protecting her?"

Ye Yi, that man, only obeyed Ye Yunting’s orders.

Her plan to send the medicine under Yunting’s name, simply couldn’t bypass the hurdle that was Ye Yi!

Perhaps, the secretive manipulation she planned might even be fully reported to Ye Yunting by Ye Yi.

If Ye Yunting becomes suspicious, that would be a loss not worth the gain.

"I heard that starting from yesterday, Guard Ye has been there the entire time, not even returning to the Prince Residence. Perhaps, the Prince just wants to keep a close watch on the Princess Consort?"

Xiaoyun didn’t know why Lin Fuying’s expression suddenly changed upon obtaining this information.

But she quickly had an idea.

Knowing that Ye Yunting was currently in the study, she immediately went to look for him.

Seeing her approach, Ye Yunting’s expression didn’t improve much.

Although he knew Chu Nanli hadn’t betrayed him again,

The child remaining in Chu Nanli’s womb was still a symbol of betrayal.

"Brother Yunting, I already know about sister’s situation,"

Ye Yunting initially didn’t want to talk much with her, but when he looked up, what he faced was Lin Fuying’s tear-streaked face.

She cried silently, yet knew exactly how to stir a man’s pity.

"Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Ye Yunting unconsciously furrowed his brows, seeing Lin Fuying’s tear-streaked face, his heart eventually softened.

"I was just thinking, if it weren’t for my weak body, my sister wouldn’t have lost a child."

"Having lost a child is already pitiful enough, Yunting brother, why don’t we..."

She tentatively looked towards Ye Yunting, but unexpectedly, upon hearing her words, he became instantly furious.

"That child must not be kept!"

If he were to keep this child, wouldn’t he just be waiting to be ridiculed?

Besides, was Chu Nanli not doing everything possible to pin that evil seed on him, all in order to save the child?

"But what about my sister? Her body, how can it withstand this!"

She seemed to be concerned about Chu Nanli’s health, but what she truly cared about was Ye Yunting’s attitude.

However, she felt that Ye Yunting was not as furiously indignant as before.

He wouldn’t be considering forgiving Chu Nanli, would he?

"Why should I care whether she can bear it or not? Once I find that adulterer, I will make sure to send him and his evil seed to the heavens together!"

Yet, Ye Yunting did not mention how he planned to deal with Chu Nanli.

Lin Fuying’s heart was already in turmoil, and after hearing the word adulterer, her worries intensified uncontrollably.

She knew very well, there was no adulterer!

If Ye Yunting continued his investigation, what would happen if it led to Xingshan Temple?

"My sister must have been deceived by a villain, hence such an incident occurred."

"Yunting brother, my sister loves you so much, how could she truly betray you?"

With no other option, Lin Fuying had to switch to another tactic.

Pretending to be understanding, she spoke up, "Yunting brother, if you conduct a grand search, what will happen if this matter gets out and reaches the palace?"

"His Majesty holds my sister in high regard, if he learns of this matter, he might even implicate you, Yunting brother."

"Your words make great sense."

In fact, after calming down for a night, Ye Yunting’s emotions were no longer as volatile as the day before.

Moreover, Chu Nanli was now far more useful than before.

"Therefore, Yunting brother, you really shouldn’t blame my sister anymore, she must have realized her mistake by now."

Lin Fuying naturally noticed the easing of his demeanor.

However, she thought it was thanks to her efforts.

Indeed, she was still far more important than Chu Nanli in Ye Yunting’s heart.

"I can indeed give her another chance."

His expression slightly relaxed, but thinking of the child in Chu Nanli’s womb, he still felt repulsed.

That child absolutely must not be allowed to stay!

Seeing Ye Yunting’s expression, Lin Fuying knew that her goal had been achieved.

But she still couldn’t resist adding another word, "Yunting brother, the child in my sister’s womb is innocent as well. Why don’t we wait for my sister to give birth, and then we can send the child far away, so my sister wouldn’t be too heartbroken."

Her expression was the epitome of innocence, as if she was truly considering Chu Nanli’s best interest.

"That evil seed, I will never tolerate its existence!"

Ye Yunting pondered for a moment, then spoke to the people guarding the doorway.

"Have Bai Wuheng come over again."

Bai Wuheng was originally mixing medicine for Lin Fuying and arrived with reluctance on his face.

However, upon seeing Lin Fuying, his expression became somewhat more relaxed.

"Why is Yingying here too?"

"I’m worried about my sister," Lin Fuying had forced herself to cry just before, and her eyes were still somewhat red, "so I specifically came to plead with Yunting brother on behalf of my sister."

She spoke as if Chu Nanli had truly committed some atrocious misdeed.
