Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Revelation

Moreover, Chu Nanli always liked to play tricks.

Yingying, when dealing with her, only ended up being bullied.

Thinking of this, Bai Wuheng couldn’t help but speak up, "This child was not easily conceived, and even if... you lost this child, trying to have another would certainly be much more difficult than now."

He actually wanted to say that even if Ye Yunting didn’t like the child, he could take care of it on his behalf.

But as it stood, he had no right to say these things out loud.

"If you encounter any difficulty," Bai Wuheng looked at her with a face full of distress, "just speak up, Yingying, I will always be your Brother Bai."

"Really?"

What Lin Fuying wanted was Bai Wuheng’s assurance.

She directly grabbed Bai Wuheng’s hand, "Brother Bai, go and talk to Brother Yunting, tell him that you’ve known about these matters for a long time and that it was you who told me to say this, okay?"

In this way, although Bai Wuheng would be suspected by Ye Yunting, at least she could safely extricate herself.

"Besides the matter at Xingshan Temple, there’s also the issue of using the fetus in medicine; if Brother Yunting asks, Brother Bai, just admit it all. Originally, these matters had nothing to do with me."

But if Ye Yunting knew that she first wanted to use Chu Nanli’s child for medicine and then lied to Ye Yunting,

how would he view her afterward?

No, she absolutely wouldn’t allow that to happen!

It was hardly possible now to extricate herself, only by having Bai Wuheng take all the responsibility could she avoid being too detestable to Ye Yunting.

"Yingying, you, how could you think like this?"

Bai Wuheng’s reaction was a bit extreme, he almost instantly let go of Lin Fuying’s hand.

No matter how tactfully Lin Fuying phrased it, it couldn’t change her selfish nature.

Bai Wuheng looked at her beautiful face and suddenly found it hard to associate her with the little girl who had staunchly stood in front of him in their youth.

Could the years truly change a person so much?

"It indeed seems that I’ve troubled Brother Bai too much; I am just afraid that Brother Yunting will think I did it on purpose."

Seeing him like this, Lin Fuying’s impatience grew even more.

She just wanted him to do a small favor, and yet he hesitated so much, which truly made her disdain him!

"If Brother Bai is unwilling, then let it be."

Lin Fuying’s expression suddenly became even more fragile, "But still, Brother Bai, please prepare the abortion medicine for me. I don’t want that after this child grows up, to be despised by Brother Yunting every day."

"After all these years of friendship, are you really unwilling to help me with this small favor?"

Seeing her say this, Bai Wuheng immediately became both anxious and angry.

He neither wanted to see Lin Fuying hurt herself nor wanted to do as Lin Fuying had suggested.

Even though he had always been obliging to Lin Fuying due to their childhood bond,

he couldn’t bring himself to lie to Ye Yunting, which did indeed go against his principles.

His dilemma was something Lin Fuying completely failed to understand; she only thought of him as being indecisive, which truly annoyed her.

Especially since the predicament she was currently facing couldn’t possibly be resolved by just a few light words from Bai Wuheng.

That was precisely why she disdained him so.

"Yingying, how could you think like this?"

In the end, Bai Wuheng made up his mind.

"But this matter, I really cannot agree to."

Using the fetus in medicine was indeed his suggestion, but he hadn’t expected Ye Yunting to act on it.

As for the matter of Xingshan Temple that Lin Fuying mentioned, he was completely unaware and certainly couldn’t lie to Ye Yunting about it.

His predicament was something Lin Fuying completely failed to perceive.

She only knew that Bai Wuheng had refused her.

"Brother Bai, how could you be like this!"

At that moment, Lin Fuying almost couldn’t control the expression on her face.

Disdain and displeasure were evident in her expression.

Her behavior was so apparent that Bai Wuheng naturally noticed it too.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation.

Perhaps this was Lin Fuying’s true nature.

But how could it be?

The Lin Fuying in his memory was undeniably that immensely kind little girl.

He must have seen it wrong.

Lin Fuying’s lapse was only momentary.

She quickly concealed her fierce expression, "Since Brother Bai, you are unwilling, then let it be, Yingying doesn’t wish to trouble you."

Bai Wuheng did not detect her insincerity, and instead truly believed she had abandoned the idea.

He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The request Lin Fuying had made was indeed too troubling for him.

After all, he and Ye Yunting had been friends since childhood.

"Brother Bai, I’m a bit tired, you should go back first."

Lin Fuying weakly waved her hand, looking at Bai Wuheng as if relieved, and could not vent her anger on him.

But as Bai Wuheng turned around, a decisive look flashed in her eyes.

Bai Wuheng had just walked out of the courtyard when he heard Xiaoyun’s exclamation.

"Concubine, what has happened to you? How could you think this way!"

He felt an ominous foreboding in his heart, hurriedly turned back, and just caught sight of Lin Fuying holding a golden hairpin, its sharp end already drawing blood from her wrist.

"Yingying!"

Seeing her like this, Bai Wuheng became even more anxious.

"I’ll agree to it, Xiaoyun, go call Ye Yunting over!"

With that, he was too preoccupied to think of anything else, only wanting to stop the bleeding for Lin Fuying first.

In the study room of the War King Residence, the atmosphere was equally tense.

"Is everything confirmed?"

Ye Yunting’s face was still expressionless.

Only those familiar with him could tell that he was now in a furious rage.

"Your servant has indeed checked; although the concubine was not in the Prince Residence on that day, she did not leave the capital. Instead, the day before, someone saw the Princess Consort heading towards Xingshan Temple."

"At that time, the Princess Consort was unaccompanied, so no one in the Prince Residence knew about this."

Over the past few days, Ye Yi had clarified everything.

And had someone draw a portrait based on the abbot’s description from Xingshan Temple.

The woman in the portrait looked exactly like Chu Nanli.

"Prince, also, your servant heard from the abbot that when the Princess Consort went to Xingshan Temple, it was to pray for your blessing, and to show sincerity, she personally took care of everything."

Ye Yi also had brought back the Everlasting Lamp that Chu Nanli had offered at that time.

Having been offered in front of Buddha for several months, the lamp had already turned yellow from the incense smoke.

Ye Yunting silently took it, glimpsing the elegant script on it.

"Wishing my husband health and safe return."

He remembered, when Chu Nanli first entered the Prince Residence, she had also joyfully called him husband.

But what had he said at that time?

He had scolded her for not following the rules, and since then, she had never called him that again.

Ye Yunting’s fingers now pressed indents into the Everlasting Lamp.

He stared blankly, only to feel a sweetness in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
