My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 382 - 383 Interrogation

Chapter 382: Chapter 383 Interrogation

Ye Yunting was merely feeling vexed in his heart, and had no intention of blaming Ye Yi.

He was very clear that this matter must be thoroughly investigated.

Otherwise, if Yang Xuan made trouble in front of his mother, it would be another hassle.

"Bring that woman over," Ye Yunting pondered for a moment before continuing, "and let Yingying and Yang Xuan come as well."

Yesterday, Bai Wuheng had already told him that Lin Fuying had merely received a small fright and did not suffer any harm to the pregnancy.

After resting for a day, there was no major concern.

As for calling Yang Xuan over, it was because Ye Yunting still harbored some suspicion towards her.

He suspected that this woman could have been brought in by her specifically to set up Lin Fuying.

Ye Yi, upon receiving his orders, turned around to make arrangements.

Soon, Wan Guzi was brought over under guard.

At the same time, Lin Fuying and Yang Xuan walked in with the support of their respective maids.

Although Ye Yunting had not severely reprimanded Yang Xuan for yesterday’s events, she still felt somewhat uneasy in her heart.

Hence, today, when she saw Lin Fuying, she uncharacteristically refrained from mocking her.

Because Lin Fuying was "pregnant," she was granted a seat by Ye Yunting as soon as she came in.

Seeing her special treatment and being left aside, Yang Xuan felt even more uncomfortable.

To Yang Xuan, Lin Fuying was just lucky to have gotten pregnant, and no one even knew whether it was a boy or a girl!

Now, Yang Xuan could only hope for some accident along the way, preferably one that would take two lives!

Nowadays, Lin Fuying didn’t have the will to fight with Yang Xuan.

Not being able to get rid of Wan Guzi smoothly was already causing her great regret.

What she hadn’t expected was for Ye Yunting to be so anxious about the matter.

Had she known earlier, she would have had Bai Wuheng make her condition seem more serious.

But under the current circumstances, she could only adapt as things happened.

Ye Yunting didn’t give Lin Fuying the chance to speak, and turned his gaze directly to Wan Guzi.

"Who exactly instructed you to come to the Prince Residence?"

At this time, it wasn’t good for Lin Fuying to speak rashly, otherwise, anyone could easily spot her guilt.

Without hesitation, Wan Guzi revealed the entire deal she had made with Lin Fuying.

After hearing all this, the expression on Ye Yunting’s face revealed no emotions whatsoever.

Naturally, Lin Fuying felt anxious inside, but she cleverly chose to remain silent.

Her face also consistently displayed shock and confusion.

It was Xiaoyun who was more agitated than her, "Aunt, who has been instigating you with these words? When has the Concubine ever inquired about these matters with you?"

"You came to visit me in the village, many people saw you; isn’t this the Concubine’s doing?"

Wan Guzi had completely lost hope in her niece by now and naturally wouldn’t hide anything for her anymore.

Xiaoyun’s face suddenly changed.

When she went back to the village to see Wan Guzi, many had seen her, and naturally, this could not be concealed.

Ye Yi nodded on the side, "Prince, your subordinate indeed found that Xiaoyun had returned there before."

"Prince, I... I just went back to visit my parents, and since I heard that aunt came back from the temple, I went to visit her. The Concubine has absolutely not instructed me to do anything!"

Seeing that Wan Guzi had revealed everything, Xiaoyun steeled her heart, and her tone became even more resolute.

"If the Prince does not believe me, I am willing to stake my life on it, the Concubine has absolutely not done such a thing!"

She spoke with such certainty that she seemed somewhat credible.

Yang Xuan scoffed on the side, "What can the life of a servant like you guarantee?"

"When your mistress commits a misdeed, don’t you as the servant collude with her in her wrongdoings?"

Although she didn’t dare to be too obvious in targeting Lin Fuying, the words she spoke were still not very pleasant to hear.

"Sister, are those words directed at me?"

Lin Fuying had remained silent all this time, but when Yang Xuan spoke, she finally found her voice.

"I had no idea that I am such a person in my sister’s eyes?"

Having said that, she looked at Ye Yunting with teary eyes, her expression one of pitiable innocence.

"Yunting brother, Yingying is truly not the type to joke about her own chastity!"

Ye Yunting naturally understood what she meant.

However, her appearance at the moment inevitably made him think of Chu Nanli.

That day, that woman had looked at him in the same way.

Even more so than Lin Fuying’s current state, she incited his pity.

Unconsciously, when he thought of Chu Nanli now, he was no longer as furiously incensed as before.

Instead, it was replaced with an indescribable sentiment.

He avoided Lin Fuying’s gaze, turning his attention back to Granny Wan.

"Then tell me, what did the woman you saw that night look like?"

Granny Wan hesitated before speaking, "That woman was strikingly beautiful, with round eyes, and she seemed to be slightly taller than the concubine."

Although Granny Wan’s description lacked clarity, Ye Yunting quickly thought of Chu Nanli.

The woman she described was exactly like Chu Nanli.

"Yunting brother!"

Finding the situation turning sour, Lin Fuying quickly spoke up.

She wore a hurt expression, "Yunting brother, Yingying has never been able to lie since she was a child, you know that."

"Yingying also doesn’t understand why others know of these matters, I truly find myself at a loss for words in today’s events!"

Sometimes, the more one tries to justify oneself, the less convincing it is, leaving others room for speculation.

Lin Fuying clearly understood this tactic well.

She did not rush to argue her case, but her aggrieved expression made her innocence apparent to anyone who saw it.

However, she forgot that such words, if told in private directly to Ye Yunting, might have been more effective.

But now, there was Yang Xuan there as well.

Although Yang Xuan was unaware of the incident at Xingshan Temple, she was eager to add to Lin Fuying’s troubles.

"Who knows if you are at a loss for words, or if you simply cannot explain yourself!"

She looked at Lin Fuying with smug satisfaction and continued to speak.

"Cousin, don’t be deceived by this kind of woman."

"You shut up for this prince!"

At this moment, Ye Yunting was in need of a target for his frustration.

Now that Yang Xuan had spoken, his foul mood naturally fell upon her.

Suddenly being scolded, Yang Xuan naturally felt extremely wronged.

Her character was already difficult, and when emotionally charged, she was even less likely to hold back.

"I did not say anything wrong, and she still has the nerve to mention her childhood! Cousin, you don’t know, back then she sabotaged me secretly countless times!"

"Not to mention the past, even the events of a few days ago, you were also deceived by her, she was clearly targeting me!"

To this day, she had not forgotten Lin Fuying’s treachery.

"You, woman, will never take the seat of the War King’s Princess Consort!"

Yang Xuan’s aggressive stance made Lin Fuying look even more pitiful.

The atmosphere grew tense once again.

Just then, a guard came in from outside to report.

"Prince, the younger Miss Lin from the Prime Minister Residence requests an audience."

Lin Xuanxuan?

Ye Yunting instinctively frowned, "Tell her that this prince is occupied with matters today, and it is not convenient for me to see her!"
