My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 375 - 376 Broken Dreams

Chapter 375: Chapter 376 Broken Dreams

Upon hearing this, Yang Xuan’s expression when she looked at Wanguzi suddenly became even more profound.

She had always known that those around Lin Fuying were definitely not clean-handed!

Maybe this person was here to collect debts!

"Come, people! Seize both of them for me. We’ll plan further when cousin returns!"

At Yang Xuan’s command, the guard at the door dared not disobey.

After all, Yang Xuan was still nominally the young lady of the house.

"I have done nothing wrong, young miss. Why must you do this? Are you not afraid the Concubine will blame you?"

Xiaoyun became incredibly panicked, for she had committed many misdeeds for Lin Fuying in secret.

If Yang Xuan truly resorted to forceful methods to extract information, she might not be able to withstand it.

No, she could not fall into Yang Xuan’s hands!

At that moment, Xiaoyun even blamed Wanguzi.

Isn’t she still alive?

Since she had survived by luck, she should have stayed quiet. What was she doing coming to find her!

"How so? When did it become her place, a mere Concubine, to interfere in my cleaning of our house? Even if cousin has now delegated some stewardship to her, she is still not the lady of the Prince Residence, is she?"

"Moreover, even if she is now, should she condone her slaves tarnishing the Residence’s reputation outside? Plainly speaking, your master is but a Concubine. What right do you have to act high and mighty here with me?"

At this moment, Yang Xuan seemed as if her intelligence had suddenly come online.

She looked at Xiaoyun triumphantly: "When we face cousin, we’ll see how you argue!"

Meanwhile, Wanguzi appeared frightened throughout the ordeal.

In fact, she was more intimidated by Chu Nanli.

Because all of this was unfolding according to Chu Nanli’s plan.

She couldn’t help but remember that during their last meeting, Chu Nanli had made her ingest poison.

Without the antidote, she would die from severe intestinal damage within three days.

That was why she had no choice but to act in fear, following Chu Nanli’s instructions in this charade.

Soon, Yang Xuan had both individuals pressed into the Prince Residence.

As soon as Ye Yunting returned to the Residence, she immediately had someone summon him.

"What are you trying to do now?"

Had it not been for Yang Xuan bringing up Yang Shu’s name, Ye Yunting wouldn’t have wanted to come.

He frowned and looked towards Yang Xuan, his patience with her wearing increasingly thin.

Yang Xuan spoke as if she were offering a treasure: "Cousin, haven’t I caught a misbehaving servant? But I am unable to decide alone, so I had to ask you to come over, didn’t I?"

Ye Yunting followed the direction of her finger and after clearly seeing Xiaoyun’s face, his brow furrowed even deeper.

Usually, he didn’t pay much attention to the servants of the Residence, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t recognize the maids by Lin Fuying’s side.

"Isn’t this Yingying’s maid? What exactly are you trying to do?"

Last time Yang Xuan tried to harm Lin Fuying’s "child," he had already developed a distaste for her.

Now, seeing Xiaoyun, Ye Yunting felt even more that Yang Xuan was making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Cousin, just now I saw her pulling and dragging with this old lady at the door. Maybe she has debts outside that brought creditors to our doorstep!"

"Or maybe, she stole something from Sister Lin and went out to sell it, and this uneven sharing of spoils is why this old lady came over!"

No matter what, Yang Xuan was just a sheltered young lady, incapable of imagining such dark scenarios.

The worst situation she could think of was just as such.

But to Ye Yunting, it clearly wasn’t so.

He could distinctly notice that both Wanguzi and Xiaoyun looked guilty and fearful as they faced him.

What were these two guilty of?

Could it be, as Yang Xuan said, that they had stolen valuables from the Residence?

"Ye Yi, interrogate her thoroughly, and if she truly stole anything, kill her on the spot!"

Even though she was a maid by Lin Fuying’s side, he would absolutely not tolerate any wrongdoing.

Upon hearing this, the faces of Granny Wan and Xiaoyun turned deathly white.

They had never imagined that Ye Yunting could be so ruthless!

Seeing this, the fear in Granny Wan’s eyes intensified.

Ignoring Xiaoyun, who was frantically signaling with her eyes, she immediately knelt before Ye Yunting.

"Prince, spare my life! I, I am a nun from Xingshan Temple, how dare I steal from the Prince Residence!"

"Xingshan Temple?"

At the mention of this name, Ye Yunting’s brows knitted tightly in an instant.

"You say you are a nun from Xingshan Temple, do you have any proof?"

"The abbot of Xingshan Temple knows me, and, I have also met the Prince before!"

He had visited Xingshan Temple just a few months ago.

It was precisely during that visit...

"That night, I was on duty. I remember that you, Prince, were injured and brought to the temple, and it was a young monk who found the medicine for you!"

"Enough, shut up!"

Ye Yunting rubbed his brow irritably, not knowing why, but the mentioning of Xingshan Temple by Granny Wan made him feel inexplicably agitated.

And those words that Chu Nanli had once said to him...

Could they be true?

He glanced at Ye Yi, instructing, "Take her to the study, and also, have Lin Fuying come along."

Right now, Ye Yunting wasn’t using his usual form of address.

Ye Yi felt a bit alarmed but still bowed his head and obeyed the order.

At this moment, Lin Fuying was unaware of what was happening in the front courtyard.

She had instructed Xiaoyun to go shopping today, so even if she hadn’t returned yet, Lin Fuying wasn’t too concerned.

That girl might just be slacking off somewhere.

When she comes back, she would surely punish her!

"Hurry and clean up, when Yunting comes over tonight, if he sees any dirt, do not blame me for punishing you!"

Hearing Lin Fuying’s voice, Dong Yue’s body subconsciously shuddered for a moment.

Because of "pregnancy," Lin Fuying had not had the leisure to torment Dong Yue these past few days.

But recalling the experiences of the days before, Dong Yue was still frightened.

Soon, Ye Yi arrived at Lin Fuying’s courtyard.

He spoke to Dong Yue, who was just coming out, "Is the Concubine still resting? The Prince wishes to see her."

"What? Yunting wants to see me?"

Because Ye Yi, as usual, displayed no expression.

Therefore, Lin Fuying did not notice anything unusual.

She dressed up carefully and then, aided by Dong Yue, made her way to the study.

Ye Yunting had been waiting for her to come and was running out of patience.

Of course, during this time, he had not been idle.

He immediately sent people to Xingshan Temple to verify Granny Wan’s identity.

Lin Fuying was completely unaware of the impending storm, and even before stepping into the study, she was still lost in her daydreams.

Her beautiful dream was abruptly shattered as she pushed open the door of the study.

Dong Yue, following behind her, saw Granny Wan’s face clearly and her eyes widened in shock.
