My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 349 - 350: Someone from the Yang Family Comes

Chapter 349: Chapter 350: Someone from the Yang Family Comes

Yang Xuan could hardly misinterpret the provocation in those words.

Just when Lin Fuying thought that, like before, Yang Xuan would be provoked by a few words and lose her temper, Yang Xuan’s response took her by surprise.

"Then I’ll trouble you with that."

She glanced at Lin Fuying, her attitude remaining condescending.

"After all, these matters should ultimately be arranged by the lady of the house. Being a concubine-born daughter, Sister Lin may not understand these rules."

"However, there’s no need for Sister Lin to bother learning them, after all, with your status, you couldn’t become the Princess Consort, could you?"

Lin Fuying found herself almost losing her composure at these words.

She despised it most when others spoke about her status.

Was it her fault for being concubine-born?

If only her mother had a more powerful family background, she would definitely be the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister Residence!

Naturally, Lin Fuying could not afford to lose her composure in such a public setting.

Yet, her smile became slightly strained as she said, "Is that so? But this task was given to me by Brother Yunting himself. If my cousin has any objections, you can discuss it directly with Brother Yunting."

"Just that, as of now, Brother Yunting has entrusted me with the stewardship of the entire Prince Residence. After all, Brother Yunting is just so fond of me."

To outsiders now, she was Ye Yunting’s beloved.

For her sake, Ye Yunting even broke off his engagement with Chu Nanli.

If this isn’t true love, what is?

Yang Xuan had been away from the capital for a long time, but she too had heard this news.

She was filled with jealous hatred towards Lin Fuying, so upon receiving a letter from her aunt, she hurried back to the capital.

Her aunt had promised her, after all, that the position of War King Consort would be hers alone!

Yang Xuan looked at Lin Fuying with a forced smile, "Is my cousin’s house so short of stewards? Why didn’t my cousin mention it earlier? If I had known, I would have brought our steward here to spare Sister Lin the day and night toil."

Having said that, Yang Xuan didn’t wait for a reply before arrogantly stepping into the carriage.

Next to her grandeur, Lin Fuying seemed even more like a mere maid.

Not far away, their covert confrontation had not escaped Chu Nanli’s eyes.

The original host had never met Yang Xuan, and therefore Chu Nanli didn’t know her identity.

It was Yanyan who spoke up to clear her confusion, "That lady is the Noble Cousin. I’ve heard she’s the favored candidate for Princess Consort by the Noble Concubine Shu."

Chu Nanli had just divorced, and Yang Xuan had returned to the capital straight on her heels.

What Noble Concubine Yang Shu was planning was self-evident.

"In the past few years, the Noble Cousin visited the Prince Residence quite often, but each time she did, Concubine Lin would either be injured or harassed by her. Eventually, the Prince stopped allowing the Noble Cousin to visit."

"Later, it seemed she left the capital with the Yang Family and hadn’t returned since."

These were indeed typical strategies often employed by Lin Fuying, as Yanyan described.

The original host’s memories were filled with countless occasions when Lin Fuying framed her with such clumsy schemes.

Unfortunately, Ye Yunting was as good as blind, with his heart only filled with his Yingying, paying no mind to the original host.

Chu Nanli shook her head with a smile, "It seems the War King Residence is in for some lively times."

She was well aware that after sending her away, Lin Fuying’s next target would undoubtedly be the position of War King Consort.

But now that Yang Xuan had arrived, she surely wouldn’t let Lin Fuying have her way.

Within the War King Residence’s inner courtyard, one could only wonder what sort of commotion these two would cause.

But now, these matters had nothing to do with Chu Nanli anymore.

"You just divorced, and the Noble Concubine Shu is already arranging to find a replacement? That seems quite excessive."

Yanyan wore an unhappy expression, clearly indignant on Chu Nanli’s behalf.

"The position of Princess Consort can’t remain vacant, can it?"

Chu Nanli, not being the original host, didn’t care about Yang Shu’s actions.

By bringing Yang Xuan into the capital, she could instead help distract Lin Fuying’s attention, preventing her from keeping a constant watch on her.

"In the opinion of this servant, you should also find someone who aligns with your heart. After all, you have just barely escaped the fiery pit!"

Yanyan’s teasing words made Chu Nanli unable to resist flicking her on the forehead.

Yet, upon hearing these words from Yanyan, the first image that flashed across her mind was unexpectedly that of Ye Jiuxiao’s face.

She quickly shook her head to drive the strange thought away.

Although she was now divorced, the identity of the child in her womb hung over her like a ticking time bomb.

And Ye Yunting was a despicable villain.

If he ever learned the truth, he might still harm her and her child.

Chu Nanli poked Yanyan on the forehead with annoyance, "What are you thinking? It seems to me it’s you who wants to get married, isn’t it?"

As the mistress and servant laughed and played, Chu Yi’s gaze was actually fixed on Chu Nanli all the while.

He carefully hid the admiration in his eyes, stood silently behind Chu Nanli, and strived to be a good protector.

...

On the way back to the War King Residence, Lin Fuying continued to needle Yang Xuan in her usual sarcastic manner, trying to provoke her.

To her surprise, Yang Xuan turned out to be much smarter than before and never lost her composure.

It seemed Yang Xuan had seen through her tricks, "Sister Lin, surely you don’t think I’m still as naive as when I was a child?"

Initially, Yang Shu had instructed her to get closer to Ye Yunting, hoping that affection would grow over time.

Only to blame was that wretched Lin Fuying!

Not only did she frame Yang Xuan several times, but in the end, she even directly caused Ye Yunting to drive Yang Xuan out.

During that time, Yang Xuan was ridiculed by the noble ladies of the capital.

"Rest assured, the position of War Princess Consort will eventually be mine!"

"As for you, originally just a low-born concubine-born daughter, you’d do better to stay where it’s cool and mind your own business!"

With these words, Yang Xuan instantly returned to her pleasant and courteous demeanor.

Seeing her act like this, Lin Fuying was incredibly irritated.

Wasn’t this her own usual tactic?

When Lin Fuying used this tactic on others, she enjoyed it immensely, but being subjected to the same tactics made her feel utterly disgusted!

Yang Xuan deserved to die, and Yang Shu, who enticed her to come to the capital to compete, deserved it even more!

Although she had many grievances about Yang Shu’s arrangements, Ye Yunting, for the time being, had no intentions of turning against the Yang Family.

With the vast influence of the Yang Family, combined with their blood ties, they remained his loyal supporters.

Finished with his urgent affairs, he rushed back to the Prince Residence and even made a special request to have dinner with Yang Xuan.

Lin Fuying, upon hearing this news, vented her frustration by finding fault with Dong Yue for a good while.

But in the end, she still had to put on the facade of a virtuous lady and busied herself with preparing the evening meal.

"After being away for several years, I never expected that the chef in cousin’s residence would still cook with the same flavors as before."

Yang Xuan, completely different from when she was in front of Lin Fuying, cozied up to Ye Yunting with an innocent face.

Ye Yunting gave only a bland response, seeming somewhat indifferent.

But Yang Xuan was not disheartened, "Before coming here, father praised cousin a lot. He also told me not to be too spoiled and to learn from cousin in everything!"
