My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 387: Naming

Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Naming

If it weren’t for Madam Yang’s arrival, Lin Fuying might indeed not have let off Yang Xuan.

And the "child" in her womb.

"But now, it’s good as well, let the two of them torment each other, after all, it won’t hinder you."

Every time Lin Xuanxuan thought of what she had just seen, she felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

The best outcome would be if the two of them fought to mutual destruction.

Of course, Lin Xuanxuan did not come over just to bring up these ominous matters.

"By the way, how is the preparation for our Infant Care Hall going?"

She scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, "I feel like there’s nothing I can help with; is the silver still sufficient? If not, I have saved some private funds."

"There is no need for so much silver, the venue is already prepared, and the personnel are almost ready too; we are just lacking an opportunity."

Just like Ye Jiuxiao had said, only by linking the Infant Care Hall with the royal family could they gain more protection and facilitate their operations.

Of course, she was well aware that Ye Jiuxiao’s suggestion was also for her to gain some favor in the Empress Dowager’s heart.

So as not to become distant from her because of previous events.

"Tomorrow, will you come with me to have a look?"

She estimated that Ye Yunting would need two more days to clarify things on his end.

Before everything was cleared up, he probably wouldn’t bother her.

However, even if he did come, she wouldn’t meet with him.

Chu Nanli’s proposal excited Lin Xuanxuan tremendously.

She still remembered Ye Jiuxiao’s recent words and did not disturb any further, waiting for tomorrow to fulfill the appointment.

...

With Ye Jiuxiao’s covert help, all matters concerning the Infant Care Hall did not require Chu Nanli to worry too much.

Except for one thing.

"Nanli, our Infant Care Hall seems to lack a name still."

Looking at the house that was already decorated, Lin Xuanxuan could almost imagine, soon, the courtyard would be filled with the laughter and cheers of children.

"A name?"

Chu Nanli’s hand unconsciously rested on her abdomen, her gaze drifting to the blank plaque before her, her eyes slightly vacant.

"Isn’t it called the Infant Care Hall?"

This straightforward and clear name, at a glance, would inform others what this place is for.

"It’s workable," Lin Xuanxuan’s face showed an obvious struggle, "but isn’t this name a bit too simple?"

But it was indeed very clear at a glance.

Chu Nanli looked at her: "Then, do you have a suggestion?"

Her talent in naming was just so.

If it was left to her, she would probably not come up with a better name than this.

Lin Xuanxuan fell silent for quite some time.

Just when Chu Nanli thought she would refuse to suggest, she finally spoke up.

"How about we call it Jici Academy?"

Chu Nanli savored the name, showing no objection.

"Then let’s go with that. We’ll have someone make the plaque and hang it up when it’s ready."

She had asked Lin Xuanxuan to name it purely because she was terrible at coming up with names.

But in Lin Xuanxuan’s eyes, this was clearly an indication of Chu Nanli valuing her opinion.

She couldn’t help but grab Chu Nanli’s hands, "Rest assured, from now on I will surely come here every day to watch over it, I definitely won’t let anyone spoil our hard work!"

Although the Jici Academy is not a place to make money, if managed well, the assistance it can bring is far more important than silver coins.

Moreover, if they can run it well, there will be fewer homeless children in this world.

In fact, Chu Nanli really wanted to say that with someone watching over the place, they didn’t need to come by every day.

All they needed to do was to review the accounts delivered every now and then.

Of course, Chu Nanli didn’t speak up to dampen her enthusiasm.

If she could harbor such sentiment, she would certainly learn more in the future.

After returning to the capital, Lin Xuanxuan was still somewhat exhilarated because of the previous conversation and naturally didn’t want to go back so soon.

She took the initiative to offer to treat them, and Chu Nanli naturally couldn’t snub her.

Today, the sun outside was a bit harsh, making Chu Nanli feel rather lazy.

She failed to notice that a gaze from a hidden place was firmly fixed on her.

"Prince, Minister Liu just sent a message saying there’s something urgent in the residence today, and we can’t keep our appointment with the Prince," someone reported.

Ye Yi followed Ye Yunting’s gaze outside, just in time to catch a glimpse of Chu Nanli.

He kept silent, not daring to speak out of place.

Ye Yunting’s gaze remained outside the window, "Has everything been clarified yet?"

"As to why the jade pendant appeared in the pawnshop, we haven’t found out yet. However, it is true, as Miss Lin stated, the Concubine did visit the Prime Minister Residence on those days. But on the day of the incident at Xingshan Temple, the Concubine was not at the Prince Residence."

In fact, Ye Yunting could find out many things with just a little investigation.

However, he had previously trusted Lin Fuying too much and had never doubted her words.

Now that an investigation was underway, of course, many discrepancies were found.

"What about the nun’s words? Have they been clarified?"

Thinking this over made Ye Yunting’s brows furrow even more.

He had been inclined to believe Lin Fuying.

But with one incident after another laid out before him, he felt an even stronger sense of being fooled and anger.

Ye Yi nodded silently; he had wanted to say for a while that Lin Fuying was not as innocent as she seemed.

It was a pity that the Prince didn’t believe him.

"Prince, should you ask Chu Nanli a few questions? She might also be clear about some matters," Ye Yi suggested, gauging Ye Yunting’s thoughts and finally deciding to speak up tentatively.

Day after day, following Ye Yunting, Ye Yi, as a bystander, had begun to guess some things that Ye Yunting himself might not have realized.

Ye Yunting did not respond but continued to look out the window with a stern expression.

At the same time, his chest was swelling up, turning into a painful ache.

By the time Ye Yi noticed something was wrong with him, Ye Yunting was already leaning on the table, almost fainting.

Ye Yi, of course, didn’t dare to bring up anything else and hurriedly helped him onto the carriage to return to the residence.

Meanwhile, Chu Nanli, upon entering the tavern, finally became aware, albeit belatedly, of the sharp gaze that had been fixed on her.

Looking in the direction she suspected, she saw nothing but a few closed windows.

Could it be that she was mistaken?

Lin Xuanxuan in front of her was already calling her to order the dishes, so Chu Nanli withdrew her gaze.

And just at that moment, she missed Ye Yunting, supported by Ye Yi, walking out of the teahouse on the opposite side.

Ye Yunting’s complexion was extremely poor.

If Chu Nanli had seen his current state, she would have been surprised.

After all, the current Ye Yunting had a gloominess between his brows that he couldn’t hide, in contrast to his earlier appearance.

His demeanor was already less appealing than Ye Jiuxiao’s, and this comparison only made it even more so.
