My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 372 - 373: Showing Weakness

Chapter 372: Chapter 373: Showing Weakness

Of course, Lin Xuanxuan dared only think about these ideas in her heart.

She was afraid that if she voiced them, the Regent King wouldn’t be as amiable anymore.

"Then I will go with you too, but I don’t understand much, so I can only listen."

Lin Xuanxuan was indeed very interested in doing business.

Especially since what she learned here from Chu Nanli was completely different from what she had been exposed to in her previous ten-odd years of life.

When they left, Chu Nanli had already eaten.

Therefore, this time they didn’t go to the hotpot restaurant, but to a tea house owned by Ye Jiuxiao.

Ye Jiuxiao had no intention of keeping them in suspense.

As soon as they sat down, he directly asked, "Have you ever thought about linking the Infant Care Hall with the royal family?"

"What do you mean?"

Actually, Chu Nanli had thought about it too.

But she was clear that her insistence on divorce had obviously offended the Emperor.

The Empress Dowager certainly also had her complaints about her.

"In a while, it will be the Longevity Festival, if you could get the Infant Care Hall ready before then, you could use it to offer blessings for longevity to the Empress."

In this way, the Infant Care Hall would have the good name of blessing the Empress Dowager.

Doing anything in the future would be much more convenient.

"Is it really appropriate for me to do this?" Chu Nanli could clearly see that Ye Jiuxiao’s proposal was entirely from her point of view and for her sake.

But her current status was indeed very embarrassing.

"Why wouldn’t it be?"

Lin Xuanxuan’s opinion, however, was completely different.

"Besides you, Miss Chu, I fear no one else is more suitable."

She became excited as soon as she spoke of it.

"You don’t know how miraculous the rumors about you are outside right now."

"To the common people now, you are already a goddess-like figure, and once this Infant Care Hall is up and running, the common people will respect you even more!"

It was because of these rumors that Lin Xuanxuan grew even more admiring of Chu Nanli.

"How could the rumors outside have turned out like this?"

Chu Nanli almost subconsciously looked at Ye Jiuxiao.

She didn’t think that if someone hadn’t helped spread them, it could have happened.

Ye Jiuxiao did not deny it but nodded quite frankly instead.

The reason he had people spread these rumors was entirely to protect Chu Nanli.

The better Chu Nanli’s reputation among the common people, the more factors those who wanted to harm her would have to consider.

The two of them exchanged a glance that showed a clear understanding while Lin Xuanxuan on the side couldn’t get a word in.

But she didn’t feel left out.

Instead, she watched with great interest.

Of course, Chu Nanli didn’t linger on this topic.

"But right now, we haven’t even chosen a house yet; isn’t it too early to consider these things?" Chu Nanli was very aware that these things weren’t just talk.

Ye Jiuxiao tapped the round table and continued, "I have an idle manor in the capital suburbs; you could directly set up the Infant Care Hall there. It’s surrounded by good farmland, enough for those living in the manor to be self-sufficient."

"That could work."

Chu Nanli was actually already used to Ye Jiuxiao’s assistance.

"Since the Prince has provided the location, then this Infant Care Hall naturally has to include your contribution too."

"That’s fine." Ye Jiuxiao was wealthy, and this bit of silver meant nothing to him.

He just wanted to save Chu Nanli some trouble.

Seeing them settle the ownership of a villa in just a few words,

Lin Xuanxuan couldn’t help but click her tongue in wonder.

In her eyes, the two of them were indeed becoming more and more suited for each other.

Having settled this matter, their purpose for coming out today was achieved.

Lin Xuanxuan couldn’t stay out too long and had to take her leave first.

"Miss, why have you been smiling since you came back?"

Upon returning to the Prime Minister Residence, the maid serving her couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Xuanxuan touched her own cheek, "Am I smiling?"

"Isn’t it? This is the first time I’ve seen you so happy after going out, in a long time."

The maid’s words made Lin Xuanxuan even more stunned.

She smiled and shook her head, "Perhaps it’s because I’ve been getting along well with Miss Chu recently, so my mood has also become more relaxed."

She did not mention to the maid that all she had been thinking about earlier were Chu Nanli and Ye Jiuxiao.

The two of them were truly a perfect match.

If she could one day partake in their wedding celebration, that would be even better.

...

This time, Yang Shu specially went to the Empress Dowager to beg for grace, allowing Yang Xuan to stay in the palace for two days.

During those two days, Yang Xuan did not cease to speak ill of Lin Fuying in front of Yang Shu.

Sharing a common dislike, the aunt and niece grew even closer.

After leaving the palace, remembering Yang Shu’s instructions, Yang Xuan went to find Lin Fuying right away.

"Why are you even here? You almost cost Yingying her child, and now, how dare you show your face in front of Yingying?"

"Besides, Yunting has already driven you out, how dare you appear in the Prince Residence?"

Bai Wuheng became alert the moment he saw her.

Under his careful care, Lin Fuying’s body had finally shaken off the effects of the abortion medicine.

What he didn’t know was that Lin Fuying had never been pregnant.

However, Lin Fuying did not plan to tell him at the moment.

She was even thinking about how to use him to cover up her lie.

"Move aside! I’m not here to see you!"

In front of Bai Wuheng, Yang Xuan was still extremely arrogant.

She pushed Bai Wuheng aside and then walked up to Lin Fuying.

Just as Bai Wuheng thought she was going to harm Lin Fuying, Yang Xuan walked up to her and started speaking.

"Sister Lin, I really was foolish these past few days."

What is she trying to do now?

Compared to Bai Wuheng’s astonishment, Lin Fuying could read the impatience underlying Yang Xuan’s eyes more directly.

Her willingness to admit her mistake was definitely taught by Yang Shu.

Seeing that Lin Fuying was not responding to her, Yang Xuan’s impatience intensified.

But she still forced a few tears out, "In the palace, my aunt already scolded me, and I now realize my mistake. I’m young and foolish, and I nearly made a huge error."

"Fortunately, the child in your womb is fine. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know how to explain to my cousin and aunt."

"But sister, you have always been kind, so you probably wouldn’t make things difficult for me, right?"

Yang Xuan’s words were not heartfelt, but hastily taught by Yang Shu.

She recited them mechanically, all her emotions just a veneer.

Lin Fuying naturally saw right through this.

But now, with Bai Wuheng here, she had to maintain her kind-hearted persona.
