My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 357 - 358 Conspiracy

Chapter 357: Chapter 358 Conspiracy

"Concubine Yang Shu really is something, I had just gotten rid of Chu Nanli with great difficulty, and she brought me another Yang Xuan!"

In front of Lin Fuying, the woman’s belly was already prominently bulging, but her face showed not even a hint of swelling.

This woman was none other than Lin Fuying’s own mother, a concubine of the Prime Minister.

She was originally just a maid in the Prime Minister Residence, her surname originally being Li, and it was by pure chance that she became pregnant with Lin Fuying, which allowed her to gain a status.

Concubine Li caressed her belly, her face, identical to Lin Fuying’s in its delicate beauty, was now full of scheming.

"What’s the hurry, it’s just a young girl."

"With men, the most important thing is still the child."

Upon hearing these words, a shade of melancholy involuntarily flashed in Lin Fuying’s eyes.

Did she not want a child to solidify her own position?

Yet, after all that happened last time, she even drugged Ye Yunting, but in the end, she still failed to make it happen.

In contrast, Chu Nanli succeeded in getting pregnant after just one encounter!

"Fortunately, after hearing about my pregnancy, the Prince still seemed to value me." Lin Fuying knew she certainly held a certain status in Ye Yunting’s heart.

Concubine Li couldn’t help shaking her head, "But this medicine, at most, can conceal for two months, after that time, the pulse will be detected, and when the child suddenly disappears, it won’t be easy for you to explain."

"Of course, I’m aware of that, and when the time comes, I will definitely find a way to muddle through this matter."

She and Ye Yunting had not even consummated their marriage, so how could there possibly be a child.

The pulse that Bai Wuheng diagnosed that day was because of the medicine she had gotten in advance from her mother to confuse the pulse.

And in fact, her fainting in the garden that day was also deliberate.

She intended to use Yang Xuan to spread the news of her "pregnancy."

That way, she could not only quell Yang Xuan’s arrogance but also remove the suspicions she had intentionally leaked.

"When the time comes, it would be better to pin this matter on Yang Xuan."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Lin Fuying’s eyes, and in front of Concubine Li, she made no effort to conceal her ambition.

"Who told her to be so annoying?"

Concubine Li did not try to dissuade her but instead egged her on.

"Getting rid of her is not difficult, but given the power of the Yang Family, there’s bound to be some trouble."

The current power of the Yang Family, though not in the capital, was still not to be underestimated.

"So what, once my brother is born, father will definitely value our mother and daughter even more. By then, won’t the Prime Minister Residence become my support?"

Lin Fuying was very clear that what she lacked compared to Yang Xuan was family background.

If she had a family like Yang Xuan’s, how could Concubine Yang Shu look down upon her?

"Even if our mother safely gives birth to your brother, what of it," a flash of worry crossed through Concubine Li’s eyes, "with the eldest Miss above us, you and your brother, will always just be concubine-born."

Of course, she was referring to the Prime Minister Residence’s Miss Lin Xuanxuan.

Throughout this period, Lin Fuying had been so preoccupied with dealing with Chu Nanli that she had not paid attention to the Prime Minister Residence for quite some time.

"Father has recently planned to discuss a marriage for Lin Xuanxuan, who knows which family’s son will be chosen in the end."

Lin Fuying did not receive such treatment in the beginning.

After all, she was but a concubine-born daughter of the Prime Minister Residence, even if sons from legitimate families coveted the Prime Minister’s power, they would at most make her a concubine.

Otherwise, Lin Fuying wouldn’t have clung to Ye Yunting since she was young, and eventually used various means to become a concubine of the War King Residence.

But being merely a concubine was far from enough!

Her goal had always been to be the Princess Consort!

"No matter which young master takes a fancy to her, I have ways to ensure she won’t be able to marry!"

Ever since she was young, Lin Fuying had always been secretly envious of Lin Xuanxuan.

Just as she would later be envious of Chu Nanli.

"Are you planning to?"

Auntie Li couldn’t help but glance outside the door, and after confirming there was no one outside, she continued.

"You need to be extra careful with this sort of thing, and make absolutely sure no one finds out it was your doing!"

In truth, over the years, she and her daughter had considered taking action against Lin Xuanxuan.

After all, the Prime Minister had only two daughters: Lin Fuying and Lin Xuanxuan.

If they could get rid of Lin Xuanxuan, even as a concubine-born daughter, Lin Fuying could still receive the treatment of a legitimate-born young lady.

"Rest assured, even if the matter were to be exposed, Yunting brother will help me, for the sake of the child in my womb."

Even though this "child" could at most only be feigned for two months.

Yet in these two months, Lin Fuying had an extra lifeline.

"Besides, I am now just a step away from the position of War King’s Princess Consort, and no one can stop me!"

Lin Fuying’s face was filled with confidence.

She had already succeeded in driving Chu Nanli out of the Prince Residence.

She also mistakenly believed that Chu Nanli was still as deeply rooted in love with Ye Yunting as before.

Even if there were a divorce, it was surely only a last resort.

Little did she know, Chu Nanli couldn’t wait to be as far away from the two scumbags as possible.

"I believe in you, my daughter. You have been by my side since you were young, and you’re even smarter than me. Once you become the Princess Consort, no one will dare look down on us mother and daughter again!" Auntie Li held Lin Fuying’s hand, with words tinged with instigation.

The mother and daughter pair were indeed very much alike, both deeply scheming.

Given Auntie Li’s status, she couldn’t stay in the War King Residence for long.

After she gave Lin Fuying a few more admonitions, she hurriedly returned to the Prime Minister Residence.

After seeing her visitor out, Lin Fuying coincidentally ran into Yang Xuan.

She stopped in her tracks and looked at Yang Xuan with a smirk, "I heard that a couple of days ago, Yunting brother took you out, but ended up leaving you alone outside?"

"Yunting brother is really too careless. It’s fine on the streets of the capital, but if you were in the deep mountains and forests, cousin, you might not have been able to make it back!"

Because of previous lessons, Yang Xuan now dared not get close to Lin Fuying.

Fearing she would be framed by her again.

She glared at Lin Fuying with annoyance, "Cousin didn’t intentionally leave me behind! And it wasn’t anyone but that woman Chu Nanli, who had already been abandoned, daring to direct such a speech at cousin!"

Yang Xuan never considered Chu Nanli a rival.

But upon hearing this, Lin Fuying involuntarily clenched her sleeves.

She feared provoking Ye Yunting, and so when he returned from outside that day, she didn’t dare let anyone inquire.

Little did she know that Ye Yunting had gotten angry that day again because of that bitch Chu Nanli!

"But when I went out with Yunting brother, he always was attentive to my presence, and such a thing never happened to me."

"Ah, that’s right, cousin, you’ve spent less time with Yunting brother, so you probably haven’t been treasured by him in this way."

The smug smile on Lin Fuying’s lips, in Yang Xuan’s eyes, was exceedingly irritating.

But having learned her lesson the previous time, Yang Xuan didn’t dare to entangle herself with Lin Fuying and could only leave in a huff.
