My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 317 - 318 Abortion Medicine

Chapter 317: Chapter 318 Abortion Medicine

Ironically, the two men present did not find her words problematic.

"Why are you pleading on her behalf..."

Bai Wuheng couldn’t help muttering half a sentence before frowning and turning to Ye Yunting.

"What did you have me come over for?"

"Naturally, it’s about something important."

Ye Yunting, with a stern face, spoke directly, "You need to prepare a dose of abortion medicine for this prince."

"Is it for the child in Chu Nanli’s womb? She’s already more than four months along. It’s not the same as before. Aborting at this stage can cause great harm to the mother’s body, and the slightest mishap can result in the death of both mother and child."

It wasn’t that Bai Wuheng was worried about Chu Nanli.

Rather, he, as a physician, still had a shred of conscience left and could not commit a deed tantamount to murder.

If it were someone else, he would have given the same advice.

He had already made the situation clear to Ye Yunting. How to decide was up to Ye Yunting.

"I can prepare a separate medicine for her, guaranteeing as much as possible that in terminating the pregnancy, the mother’s body won’t be harmed, but it will inevitably leave some complications. How severe they will be, we can only leave to fate."

"However, there’s a herb in the prescription that’s rarely found in the capital, and it might take at least two to three days to obtain it from somewhere else."

"Proceed as you’ve stated."

Ye Yunting’s expression changed slightly upon hearing the phrase "the death of both mother and child", but he quickly regained his composure.

After all, had not Chu Nanli betrayed him?

Even if she died, it would be no less than she deserved!

Lin Fuying’s face was full of worry, yet she did not say another word.

She had already achieved her goal, so why would she unnecessarily cause trouble?

After leaving Ye Yunting’s study, she quickly caught up with Bai Wuheng.

"Brother Bai, this medicine is so harmful to my sister’s health, is there no other way?"

Bai Wuheng thought she was worried about Chu Nanli and, knowing her "kind" nature, could only offer reassurance.

"Using medicine is already the gentlest method. For the previous child, Yunting had people employ such a method, and the fact that she survived is already fortunate."

He was preoccupied with consoling Lin Fuying and did not notice the ruthlessness in her eyes.

Lin Fuying hung her head, feeling regretful.

Had she known Chu Nanli’s life was so tenacious, she should have made her move more severe from the start!

"But my sister is in poor health, could using medicine harm her..."

Lin Fuying had intended to directly ask Bai Wuheng to increase the dosage secretly.

But if she said that outright, she feared it might damage the image of her that Bai Wuheng held.

Left with no choice, she could only hint, "Otherwise, Brother Bai, could you think of some other way?"

Preferably a way that would allow her to manipulate the outcome.

"Yingying, rest assured, although I don’t like her, I won’t tamper with the medicine in any way,"

Bai Wuheng, completely missing her point, continued to speak vehemently.

"I will go back and modify the prescription to ensure that she doesn’t lose her life; as for everything else, we can only leave it to fate."

Pregnancy for a woman is akin to a walkthrough at death’s door.

Furthermore, the fetus within Chu Nanli’s womb was already well-established. Forcibly using medicine to terminate the pregnancy would cause irreversible damage to the mother’s body.

He had wanted to suggest waiting until the child was born and then either send it away or directly end its life.

That way, the harm to Chu Nanli’s body would be minimized.

Yet, looking at Ye Yunting’s expression, he wished he could kill that bastard child right now.

Of course, he did not bring it up again.

Certainly, such dark matters were not something he would share with Lin Fuying.

He spoke softly, "Yingying, you don’t need to take it too much to heart, that child, after all, is the result of a disgraceful union, and not worth your pity."

"Bai Brother, I understand all that. I’m just worried about my sister."

Lin Fuying hid the resentment in her heart very well, and it seemed that she now had no way to take action against Bai Wuheng.

However, to have one’s beloved child killed by their own hands.

Chu Nanli must be heartbroken even if she does not die, wouldn’t she?

"Alright, you just stay well in the Prince Residence. I need to arrange for people to look for medicines these next few days; you must take good care of yourself, understand?"

Bai Wuheng couldn’t help but stroke Lin Fuying’s head, just like when they were children.

It was just a pity that the person in front of him was no longer as naive as she had been in her childhood.

...

Although Chu Nanli was temporarily unaware of the abortion medicine, she knew clearly that Ye Yunting would never allow the child in her womb to live.

He was unwilling to believe her words and naturally felt that the child was the product of the original host’s betrayal, conceived with another man.

But he never stopped to think that the original host had been facing difficulties ever since she married into the Prince Residence, without anyone around she could trust.

Under such circumstances, how could she have secretly met with anyone without anyone in the Prince Residence noticing?

Only someone as foolish and biased as Ye Yunting could believe the original host betrayed him.

Of course, if Ye Yunting insisted on aborting the child, she would also find ways to resist him.

Unlike the original host who was isolated and helpless, she at least held several cards in her hand.

And on Chu Yi’s side, discoveries were quickly made as well.

With the help of Ye Jiuxiao’s people, he soon found out that Lin Fuying had also sent people to investigate Xingshan Temple.

And he managed to track the details back to Mother Wan.

However, when he learned that Mother Wan had disappeared, he was at a loss for leads once more.

The people left by Ye Jiuxiao did find out that Dong Yue had appeared near the courtyard not long before.

She appeared to have something she wanted to tell Chu Nanli.

Ye Jiuxiao’s people found her, but she was afraid to speak up until she saw Chu Yi, then she finally recounted what she had witnessed that day.

"You mean to say, Dong Yue witnessed Lin Fuying killing someone with her own eyes?"

Chu Nanli couldn’t help but rub her brow, knowing Lin Fuying’s cautious nature, she would not personally take such a huge risk unless that person surely knew a secret she was desperately trying to conceal.

After learning that the person was Mother Wan, Chu Nanli quickly pieced together the significance of this.

Chu Yi nodded in agreement, "That’s right, although Dong Yue didn’t know the identity of the person, she was too afraid to make a fuss after seeing it. She thought about informing you, but Concubine Lin was monitoring her too closely, so she had no choice but to give up."

Dong Yue was unaware of the full background, but Chu Nanli had come to understand.

It must have been Lin Fuying, who somehow learned that she was investigating Xingshan Temple’s matter, and managed to get to Mother Wan first.

Lin Fuying surely found out from Mother Wan about that night’s incident.

Then she found a way to make Ye Yunting believe that she had been romantically involved with him once before.

What Chu Nanli didn’t know was that Lin Fuying had prepared more than just one backup plan.

"My lord, it is my incompetence. I had traced the matter to Mother Wan but someone was one step ahead of me."

He even felt that it was his carelessness in the investigation that allowed Lin Fuying’s people to learn about it.
