My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 351 - 352: A Friendly Gesture

Chapter 351: Chapter 352: A Friendly Gesture

Compared to the chaos at the War King Residence, Chu Nanli’s side was much more tranquil.

After seeing Lin Fuying on the street last time, she had Chu Yi inquire about her and was surprised to learn that Yang Xuan had brazenly moved into the War King Residence.

Allowing a girl of age to do so, it seemed that Consort Yang Shu was determined to arrange this marriage.

However, the only person who needed to worry about this affair was clearly Ye Yunting.

What was causing Chu Nanli even more headache, however, were the items Ye Jiuxiao had sent over.

"Forget the rest, but this Lingzhi is valuable; you should take it back and let it nourish your master’s health."

The man who delivered the gifts, Chu Nanli had seen him by Ye Jiuxiao’s side before.

But she never knew his name.

No matter what Chu Nanli said, his response was always to remain silent.

"You shouldn’t trouble him too much, he’s just a piece of wood who only knows to follow the instructions of that guy."

Zhuang Lin looked at the items Ye Jiuxiao had sent and couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder.

These items were worth a fortune, and more importantly, even if others had silver, they probably couldn’t buy them.

"Then you can’t have him take these back?"

Chu Nanli was well aware of the value of these items, and more importantly, some of the health-enhancing medicines could be used by Ye Jiuxiao himself.

"How can I decide on this matter? Besides, the good stuff from his Regent Prince Residence isn’t just limited to these."

"Didn’t he eagerly send you quite a few from the Southern Border last time?"

Chu Nanli sharply caught the information in his words, "Last time?"

Those medicinal herbs from the Southern Border were indeed gathered by Ye Jiuxiao’s orders.

Even though Chu Nanli had guessed as much, she still couldn’t help but have some new thoughts now.

Ye Jiuxiao, he truly was considerate towards her.

Zhuang Lin chuckled dryly, "Isn’t it because he told me not to speak? I’m not the type to claim credit for others’ work, but since he wasn’t in the capital at that time, I had no choice but to help keep it a secret."

"Moreover, you didn’t pry too deeply either."

He didn’t believe that with Chu Nanli’s intelligence, she couldn’t have guessed it.

"Mr. Zhuang isn’t planning to stop collaborating with me, is he?"

Chu Nanli spoke half-jokingly, "When cooperating with others, the most taboo thing is to have secrets."

"What about Miss Chu then, are you truly not hiding anything from me?"

Zhuang Lin’s gaze couldn’t help but wander between her and the pile of items.

Having known Ye Jiuxiao for so many years, he had only seen Ye Jiuxiao disadvantage others, but never seen him openly send things out like this.

There was definitely something fishy between these two.

"Yanyan, take these items away and also take back what we had prepared earlier for Mr. Zhuang."

Chu Nanli could certainly hear the tease in his words.

In fact, she had been contemplating her relationship with Ye Jiuxiao.

It’s just a pity that neither of them had plans to take that step at the moment.

"Don’t, how could I refuse things from the Divine Doctor Liuli?"

Zhuang Lin quickly retracted his teasing mind; he felt that if he were a decade younger, he might also be moved by someone like Chu Nanli.

With exceptional medical skills and intelligence to match.

He wondered if Ye Yunting had gone blind, to repeatedly challenge her and even force her into a divorce.

After Zhuang Lin took the items and left, Yanyan came over again.

"Master, our storeroom is already overflowing."

Ye Jiuxiao had sent so many items, it was truly too much.

Chu Nanli was slightly taken aback, and reluctantly said, "Then we’ll have to clear out another room."

After all, these were all gestures of Ye Jiuxiao’s goodwill; it wouldn’t be right to waste them.

She turned her head to Chu Yi at her side, "Has there been any news from the Communications Pavilion?"

"The people at the Communications Pavilion seem to have contacted the person you mentioned, but they haven’t received a reply yet."

Chu Yi’s response eased Chu Nanli’s mind.

As long as they could reach the mother of the original owner, contacting the original owner’s parents would soon follow.

She needed to accumulate power quickly in order to protect her two children.

...

Yang Xuan had only been at the War King Residence for three days, yet she had already clashed several times with Lin Fuying, both openly and covertly.

Neither of them dared to stir up matters that would displease Ye Yunting.

The servants of the War King Residence had noticed the friction between the two.

"My aunt clearly promised me that once I entered the capital, the position of the Princess Consort of the War King would definitely be mine!"

"That despicable Lin Fuying, once I become the Princess Consort of the War King, I must demote her to concubine!"

With no outsiders present, Yang Xuan reverted to her domineering and haughty demeanor.

She had been spoiled from birth, and whatever she set her sights on, the Yang Family had the means to obtain it for her.

Except a few years ago, she had suffered a severe setback because of Lin Fuying!

Her maid was as arrogant as she was: "Miss, you are so noble, why bother to quarrel with her, a concubine-born girl?"

"Exactly, before coming here, father said that in another two months, he would directly advise the Emperor to decree my marriage to my cousin, and by then, I’ll see how Lin Fuying dares to be arrogant in front of me!" Yang Xuan became increasingly pleased with herself at her maid’s adulation.

She did not notice that, not far away, Lin Fuying was watching her coldly.

"Concubine, this Miss from the extended family is really going too far."

Xiaoyun could not help but lower her voice to complain, "If she really becomes the Princess Consort of the War King, what will you do?"

She had done so much for Lin Fuying, and if Lin Fuying ended up not becoming the Princess Consort of the War King, wouldn’t she also be implicated?

"Don’t worry, she won’t get the chance!"

Lin Fuying knew very well that even if Yang Xuan did not become the Princess Consort of the War King, the Yang Family would still support Ye Yunting.

After all, there was no other prince they could support besides Ye Yunting.

Lin Fuying coughed, finally catching Yang Xuan’s attention.

Yang Xuan showed no embarrassment at being caught speaking ill behind someone’s back.

She fearlessly looked over, "Why is Sister Lin in such a good mood today, thinking of taking a walk?"

"Right, it won’t be long before you might be driven out of the War King Residence, you’d better take a good look around while you can."

To Yang Xuan’s surprise, Lin Fuying did not confront her as usual, but appeared rather weak.

"Sister is right, only I wonder who ultimately will need to take a good look around."

Lin Fuying looked at Yang Xuan with a smile that was not quite a smile.

To others, she seemed like the one being bullied by Yang Xuan, but only Yang Xuan could see the challenge on her face.

"The cousin isn’t even here, who are you putting on this act for!"

Yang Xuan, unable to hold back her anger, stepped forward.

But before she could lay a hand on her, Lin Fuying seized the moment and fainted.

No sooner had she collapsed than Xiaoyun started shouting, "Someone help, the Concubine has suddenly fainted!"
