My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 347 - 348 Suspicion

Chapter 347: Chapter 348 Suspicion

After Ye Jiuxiao took Chu Nanli out, he quickly ordered to seal the news.

Even though Chu Nanli had divorced, such an incident getting out would ultimately damage her reputation.

He brought her directly back to the Prince Residence and summoned Doctor Lin over.

While Doctor Lin was taking Chu Nanli’s pulse, Ye Jiuxiao stood outside the house with a stern face, having already thought of several ways to embarrass Ye Yunting.

It seemed that the lesson he had given earlier was not enough.

When Doctor Lin came out and saw Ye Jiuxiao like this, he couldn’t help but flash a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He must have been spending too much time with Zhuang Muyan.

Otherwise, why did the Prince increasingly seem like a husband waiting outside the delivery room?

"How is she?"

Upon hearing Ye Jiuxiao’s words, Doctor Lin hurriedly replied solemnly, "She inhaled quite a bit of lucid incense, but it hasn’t endangered her life. Fortunately, she’s been taking a lot of Fetal Protection Medicine on regular days, otherwise, it might have been difficult to save the child."

"Right, Miss Chu has recovered a bit and would like to see you, my lord."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiuxiao didn’t hesitate and stepped into the house.

Chu Nanli had already sat up with the help of a maid.

She looked gratefully at Ye Jiuxiao, "Thank you for today, my lord."

If it wasn’t for Ye Jiuxiao, she might have really lost this child.

After all, with Ye Yunting’s demented demeanor, he definitely wouldn’t have listened to her pleas.

The only thing was that for her sake, Ye Jiuxiao had trespassed into the War King Residence. If this news reached the Emperor’s ears...

Ye Jiuxiao immediately saw the worry on her face, "My mother commanded me to protect you thoroughly."

"Moreover, since you’ve just divorced, if something had happened, people might feel it was because the royal family couldn’t accommodate you."

Therefore, even if the Emperor knew about him trespassing into the War King Residence, he couldn’t blame him for it.

As for the difficulties plotted in the dark, hadn’t he endured plenty over the years?

"Ultimately, it is still I who has implicated you, my lord. I also never expected Ye Yunting to turn so utterly mad!"

Before this, he clearly hadn’t borne such animosity towards this child.

Perhaps Lin Fuying was stirring things up behind the scenes.

Chu Nanli touched her stomach, with lingering fear still visible in her eyes.

Perhaps, she should also tell Ye Jiuxiao the origin of this child.

After all, due to her, he too had been drawn into this mess.

Given his actions today, Ye Yunting definitely wouldn’t let it go easily.

But these matters were too complicated; she didn’t even know how to begin telling Ye Jiuxiao about them.

"I saved you because of the promise I made earlier."

Ye Jiuxiao noticed her expression and averted his gaze elsewhere.

"There are some things, if you don’t want to talk about them, then you needn’t say anything."

"It’s not that they’re difficult to talk about. My lord should know, a few months ago, I too was probably deluded, wholeheartedly following that man around."

At that time, the original host had been married into the Prince Residence for a while.

Everyone in the War King Residence knew she was not favored, and naturally, she faced much neglect.

But the original host’s heart was all on Ye Yunting and she didn’t mind these.

It had been a while since Ye Yunting had returned to the Prince Residence before the incident.

Hearing that Xingshan Temple was flourishing, she decided to go there to pray for his safety.

At that time, the original host, without anyone to accompany her, had to go there alone.

It was that night, in Xingshan Temple, that she met Ye Yunting.

Recalling this memory, Chu Nanli couldn’t help but frown, "To speak of it, although I was married to that man, we rarely spent time together, and I couldn’t even recognize him at first."

Moreover, under those circumstances, with the dim lighting, the original host, a young girl who had never been with a man, only remembered the brutality and the pain of that time.

"But now, no matter what I say, that guy clearly doesn’t want to believe me anymore."

"Thus, he firmly believes that the child in your belly is... It’s really absurd!"

Upon hearing Chu Nanli’s words, Ye Jiuxiao’s eyebrows immediately furrowed even more deeply.

He now regretted not turning back to give Ye Yunting a good beating!

That kick earlier had been too lenient on him.

"Then why didn’t he investigate properly?"

With Ye Yunting’s capabilities, investigating the incidents of that night wouldn’t be impossible to trace at all.

"I only found out afterward, he had taken a herbal medicine that night, which contained components causing memory loss, and that’s probably why he’s so sure," she said.

Given Ye Yunting’s stubborn nature, once he has made up his mind about something, he is not likely to change it.

She just felt it was an injustice on behalf of the original host.

The original host’s feelings for Ye Yunting were known even by servant boys in the War King Residence.

Yet under a few instigations from Lin Fuying, Yunting quickly concluded that the original host had betrayed him and wouldn’t even listen to her explanations.

Originally, the original host had planned to tell Ye Yunting the truth.

Unfortunately, she was driven to a dead end before she could speak out.

At this moment, Ye Jiuxiao couldn’t help but speak up.

"That night, I was also in Xingshan Temple."

"What?"

Chu Nanli’s eyes widened suddenly, filled with shock.

When Chu Yi investigated, he didn’t find out about this.

And, there seems to be no memory of it in the original host’s mind either.

Ye Jiuxiao spoke in a low voice, "At that time, I was investigating some matters, and it just so happened that I was near Xingshan Temple, but I unfortunately fell into an ambush and was likely dosed with the same medicine, so my memories of that night aren’t very clear."

"However, if you want evidence, I can have someone look for it."

The matter he was investigating was highly confidential; not even the Emperor caught a whisper of it, let alone Ye Yunting.

Asking his men to investigate now would inevitably expose the activities he was involved in at that time.

However, for Chu Nanli’s sake, this was nothing.

"From the beginning, I never intended for my child to acknowledge that man as his father."

Chu Nanli spoke indifferently, yet couldn’t help feeling puzzled deep inside.

Could it have been Ye Jiuxiao that night?

Given the situation at that time, the original host had been extremely panicked, struggling fiercely at first.

She had lowered her guard only after seeing that man’s face, which resembled Ye Yunting’s.

If only she were still in the year 2090.

Then she could directly extract the original host’s memories and compare them directly, instead of guessing back and forth here.

The hint of suspicion in Chu Nanli’s heart flashed by, unspoken.

After all, Chu Yi had already found Ye Yunting’s jade pendant there.

It shouldn’t be wrong.

Chu Nanli shook her head, not hiding her disdain for Ye Yunting.

That despicable man had tried multiple times to harm her child, and he was already on her blacklist!

But she thought of something, then spoke up, "There is one thing for which I still need the Prince’s assistance."

"Could the Prince lend me a few people?"

Chu Yi was spread too thin and hadn’t found the body of Madam Wan yet.

She could only rely on Ye Jiuxiao’s help now.
