My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 353 - 354: The Whereabouts of Wanguzi

Chapter 353: Chapter 354: The Whereabouts of Wanguzi

"They have already divorced, why do you still care about her?"

Bai Wuheng was still unaware of Ye Yunting’s violent actions.

After all, since leaving the War King Residence that day, Ye Jiuxiao had ordered a news blockade, not letting a single bit leak out.

And Ye Yunting, who was proud, certainly wouldn’t turn such matters into gossip.

"But will Brother Yunting truly come to love this child?"

Lin Fuying looked pitifully at Bai Wuheng, making him all the more sympathetic towards her.

He sighed and continued, "Don’t worry, he will definitely love the child."

If Ye Yunting truly didn’t like the child, he would treat it as his own flesh and blood nonetheless.

"Then I am at ease."

On the surface, Lin Fuying seemed to be comforted by Bai Wuheng’s words.

Yet, in her heart, she was not the slightest bit relieved.

After all, she had seen Ye Yunting’s expression just a moment ago.

Clearly, he wasn’t looking forward to the child.

It was all because of that bitch Chu Nanli!

"Just focus on taking care of yourself and the baby. Not only do you need to be careful during the first few months, but you must also pay attention all the way until the child is born."

"But rest assured, with me here, both you and the child will be fine."

At this moment, Bai Wuheng was actually behaving more like the child’s father than Ye Yunting.

But his concern was something Lin Fuying didn’t care for at all.

Claiming she was tired, Bai Wuheng naturally didn’t bother her further and hurriedly went back to studying prescriptions for stabilizing the pregnancy.

As soon as Bai Wuheng left, Lin Fuying immediately dropped the pitiful act.

All that remained was her calculative demeanor.

When Ye Yunting returned to his study, he was still somewhat in a daze.

He couldn’t say he was happy about this sudden child; instead, he felt a mix of annoyance.

"Did you find anything else about the incident at Xingshan Temple?"

His mind was troubled, and he couldn’t help thinking of Chu Nanli again.

Ye Yi still hadn’t found Granny Wan’s whereabouts and could only shake his head.

Ye Yunting frowned but didn’t continue to inquire.

"Keep the news of Yingying’s pregnancy quiet for now, don’t let outsiders know."

He almost subconsciously thought of Chu Nanli.

He particularly did not want her to know of this news.

Of course, Ye Yunting convinced himself that he only wanted to prevent that poisonous woman from attempting to harm Lin Fuying and the unborn child in secret after learning of the pregnancy.

Ye Yi nodded, but then asked, "What about Miss Yang?"

"Let her reflect in silence for a few days, so she doesn’t go spouting nonsense in front of the Empress Dowager," Ye Yunting nonchalantly waved his hand, not planning to punish Yang Xuan harshly.

After all, since Lin Fuying was unharmed, punishing Yang Xuan for this incident might provoke the discontent of the Yang Family.

"Right, didn’t I ask you to keep an eye on Chu Nanli to see if she had any men around her?"

"How is that investigation going?"

Ye Yunting might have been better off not mentioning it, as upon bringing it up, Ye Yi hesitated over whether or not to reveal what he had found.

But as a Hidden Guard, he naturally couldn’t lie to or conceal anything from his master.

"There have been a lot more guards lurking near Miss Chu’s courtyard recently, and from the contacts I’ve attempted, those men seem to belong to the Regent King."

Indeed, even before this, Ye Jiuxiao had already arranged for many people to secretly protect Chu Nanli.

But at that time, he didn’t want others to notice, so naturally he instructed his subordinates to be careful in their actions and not to expose themselves unless absolutely necessary.

However, after the last incident, Ye Jiuxiao simply placed some people out in the open.

He did this to announce his presence to Ye Yunting.

He meant to make it clear that he should not think about dealing with Chu Nanli from the shadows.

But Ye Yunting at this moment clearly misunderstood his intention.

"These two people have really colluded together behind my back!"

Ye Yunting was now completely engrossed in his speculation.

He even wondered whether the bastard in Chu Nanli’s belly might actually be Ye Jiuxiao’s.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yi couldn’t help but speak up, "Prince, in the view of your subordinate, the Regent King might simply value Miss Chu’s medical skills and not anything else."

He really felt that his Prince would become confused whenever it came to matters related to the Princess Consort.

It was the same every time, and he no longer knew how to persuade him.

"A woman as fickle as water like her might just be coveting power, thinking that it’s pointless to start with me, so she’s trying to hook up with the Emperor’s Uncle."

But she doesn’t consider that the Emperor’s Uncle has now handed over all power he held, retaining merely the title of Regent King.

Does she really think that the Emperor’s Uncle would marry a woman like her, who is nothing but a withered flower and a failed willow?

"Keep watch over that side and report any developments back to me!"

As for the bastard in Chu Nanli’s womb, once he finds out the truth, he will naturally find a way to take care of it!

...

Even though Chu Nanli now had no connection to the War King Residence.

Lin Fuying still refused to let her go.

She had Xiaoyun find someone to deliberately spread the news about her "pregnancy," exaggerating the details significantly.

Upon learning of this, Chu Nanli showed no change in expression.

"She’s really pregnant? So quickly?"

After doing some calculations, it seemed that the child was indeed Ye Yunting’s.

Yanyan nodded her head, expressing her annoyance, "It’s so unfair of the Heavens, Lin Concubine has done so many evil deeds, and now she’s even pregnant."

She originally wanted to curse a bit more, but remembering the heartaches of Chu Nanli, she decided not to continue.

"Isn’t Heaven inherently unfair?"

Chu Nanli was rather noncommittal. Although she had not treated Lin Fuying, just by looking at her complexion, she knew she was the type with a congenital deficiency of qi and blood.

It is extremely difficult for someone with that physique to conceive.

That Lin Fuying got pregnant so quickly, perhaps, involved some unsavory methods.

"However, the timing of her child’s arrival does seem quite convenient for the War King Residence to stir up some excitement again."

With regard to the affairs of the War King Residence, Chu Nanli always maintained a stance of watching from the sidelines.

As long as the fire didn’t spread to her, she had no worries.

"Whether her child can be born at all is not yet certain."

Chu Nanli had no intention of harming Lin Fuying’s child.

If she truly harmed children, how would she be any different from those with malicious intentions like Lin Fuying?

But that didn’t mean she would let Lin Fuying off the hook.

Lin Fuying had nearly harmed her two children and targeted the original host so cruelly, this debt, she would eventually settle on behalf of the original host.

As Chu Nanli was contemplating how to repay Lin Fuying’s malice, Chu Yi hurried back from outside.

"Master, I’ve uncovered some information, it’s very likely that Wan Guniang did not die!"

"Recently, there was talk of a merchant caravan passing downstream, they rescued someone from the river. However, that caravan has already left the capital, it might be a month or more before they return."
