My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 370 - 371 Complaining

Chapter 370: Chapter 371 Complaining

After being brought into the palace, Yang Xuan did precisely as expected, voicing her complaints right in front of Yang Shu, through tears.

She had deliberately bathed and dressed before entering the palace, and now her makeup was ruined by crying.

Yang Shu’s attention, however, was not on her.

What concerned her more was Lin Fuying’s pregnancy.

"Is she truly pregnant?" Yang Shu’s face darkened, "Such major news, and Ye Yunting didn’t even send someone to notify the palace?"

Could it be that he was guarding against her, his own mother?

Such a thing had never happened before.

"Isn’t it obvious? I’ve only been in the Prince Residence for less than half a month, and all those fine things, cousin just sends to her as if he doesn’t need silver at all."

"Whatever she wants, the moment she mentions it, cousin immediately has it brought to her, and although she’s just a concubine, she acts like she’s already the Princess Consort of the War King every day in the residence!"

"You see, such a significant matter, it must be her urging cousin not to tell you!"

Driven by her jealousy towards Lin Fuying, Yang Xuan spared no effort in slandering her in front of Yang Shu.

Seeing no reaction from Yang Shu, Yang Xuan stepped closer and coyly clung to her arm.

"Aunt, didn’t you and father always say that only the child born from my womb would be the most esteemed?"

"But now, even before I marry cousin, that wretched woman already has a child. How can I swallow this grievance?"

Having just been coldly treated by Ye Yunting, Yang Xuan was now placing all her grievances squarely on Lin Fuying.

"Exactly, such a lowly person, how could she give birth to the grandchild of this palace!"

Yang Shu equally detested both Lin Fuying and Chu Nanli.

Now that she had finally dealt with Chu Nanli, and Lin Fuying was pregnant, how could she not be angered?

"Exactly, aunt, if this continues, cousin might be completely bewitched by her!"

Yang Xuan, filled with hatred, was not willing to see Lin Fuying have an easy time.

"This palace will never allow it!"

Yang Shu also showed her displeasure.

The fact that Lin Fuying was pregnant and no one had informed her, might mean that Lin Fuying was stirring up discord from behind the scenes.

Furthermore, since Lin Fuying had entered the Prince Residence, she could sense that indeed, discord had begun to brew between her and Yunting.

However, she obviously could not act rashly now.

Her previous impulsiveness had already displeased the Empress Dowager.

If she were reckless now, her position in the palace would become even more challenging.

"Rest assured," she patted Yang Xuan’s hand, "the position of Princess Consort of the War King will be yours."

...

Yang Xuan’s daring act of drugging was unknown to Chu Nanli.

Naturally, she was even less aware that she had almost been implicated by Lin Fuying again.

After her last meeting with Lin Xuanxuan, Chu Nanli was still concerned about the Infant Care Hall.

She soon found time to decide to inspect it in person, along with Lin Xuanxuan.

However, Yanyan couldn’t help showing her disapproval when she heard her plans.

"Master, with your current condition, it’s inconvenient for you to go anywhere; why not invite Ms. Lin back to the residence for a discussion instead?"

As the weather started to warm up, Chu Nanli’s belly had clearly begun to show.

Her frequent trips outside indeed caused great concern among her servants.

Not to mention the last incident; Yang Xuan nearly collided with the master.

If they encountered another such lunatic, she would only worry more for the master’s safety.

"Or else, why don’t you come with me?"

Two days before, Ye Jiuxiao had someone send over another batch of silk and satin.

If left to gather dust in the storeroom, it would be a real pity, so she simply had Yanyan tidy everything up and rush to produce a batch of summer clothes.

Moreover, her belly was getting bigger by the day, so naturally, her clothes had to be altered accordingly.

In such matters, Yanyan always felt compelled to do everything herself.

She was terribly worried that Chu Nanli would feel even the slightest discomfort wearing those clothes.

"I haven’t finished my duties, yet you insist on going out alone, my lady. I can’t be at ease," Yanyan couldn’t help but glare at Chu Yi several times.

"Last time you accompanied the mistress, you nearly got her hurt. I really don’t know how you protect her."

Actually, she was displacing her anger.

Given the situation that day and facing a woman like Yang Xuan, Chu Yi indeed faced many constraints.

"Enough," Chu Nanli poked her forehead with annoyance, "always worrying about this and that, be careful or you’ll turn into an old granny one day!"

"My lady!"

Yanyan covered her forehead, looking up with a mix of sulk and grievance.

"I’m just worried about you. I’ve heard that giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell, and pregnancy itself is extraordinarily difficult. How can I not worry?"

What Yanyan really wanted to say was that other women had their husbands by their sides during pregnancy.

Only the mistress, back when she was at the Prince Residence, not only was she severely challenged by the War King, but even after she moved out, her days were still fraught with trouble every other day.

"If you’re worried about me, just come out with me, staying cooped up at home all the time will only make it more dangerous when it’s time to give birth."

Chu Nanli’s words scared Yanyan pale, "Really, really?"

"Of course, it’s true. I’m a doctor, would I lie to you?"

"Then please wait a moment for me to finish up my duties, and I will accompany you out," Yanyan responded.

Given the gravity with which Chu Nanli spoke, Yanyan certainly couldn’t be negligent.

Nor did she dare to prevent her from going out anymore.

Once they, the mistress and servant, were ready, Lin Xuanxuan was already waiting at the agreed place.

When Lin Xuanxuan saw Chu Nanli, a smile spread across her face.

"Miss Chu, you look truly beautiful today."

Lin Xuanxuan’s words were not just a compliment.

She sincerely thought that Chu Nanli was the most beautiful among all the young women she knew.

This beauty was not only skin deep but more importantly, it was a matter of her overall demeanor.

She had never seen such a special woman before.

Chu Nanli blinked at her: "As if I ever look bad."

Her words made Lin Xuanxuan burst into laughter.

But soon, Lin Xuanxuan turned serious, "Miss Chu, where shall we go first?"

"Let’s head to the compound in the west of the city first, that area is bigger, and I think it can accommodate more people."

Chu Nanli pondered briefly before quickly coming up with an answer.

She remembered that many common people lived in that part of the city to the west. If the Infant Care Hall could be set up there, it would be much more convenient.

However, it seemed that if the Infant Care Hall were to be launched, it would not break even in the short term.

But that did not mean there would be no benefits at all.

Soon, the carriage carrying the two of them arrived in the west of the city.

As soon as she stepped down from the carriage, Chu Nanli spotted a familiar figure.
