My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 403 Mocking

Chapter 403: Chapter 403 Mocking

"Don’t get in her way!"

Ye Yunting’s ruthlessly harsh words were extremely embarrassing for Lin Fuying.

Why should Chu Nanli be so fortunate?

After all, she had managed to drive Chu Nanli out of the War King Residence, yet that wretched woman turned around and learned the art of playing hard to get.

Truly cunning!

"Yunting brother, I..."

Lin Fuying tried to say something else, but was brutally interrupted by Ye Yunting.

He glared at Lin Fuying, "I allowed you into the palace today, solely to avoid arousing the Emperor’s and the Grand Empress Dowager’s suspicions. Now that you’ve returned to the residence, continue to stay put!"

"If any word leaks out, once you give birth to this child, I will make sure you regret it!"

Having said that, Ye Yunting didn’t even want to see her anymore and had Ye Yi come in to forcibly take Lin Fuying away.

As Lin Fuying was led away, her face was filled with unwillingness.

But she dared not say anything else, fearing it would only make Ye Yunting even more dissatisfied.

However, on her way back, she inevitably ran into the gloating Yang Xuan.

"Oh, I heard that cousin drank himself into a stupor in the palace tonight; how come you weren’t there to attend to him, sister?"

Yang Xuan did not hide her hostility towards Lin Fuying at all.

After all, Ye Yunting wasn’t here right now.

"Could it be that you’ve upset cousin again, and he kicked you out?"

Lately, Yang Xuan had seen more than once how Ye Yunting detested her.

In the past, she could only watch Lin Fuying scheme against her.

Now that Lin Fuying was the one detested, it was naturally the time for her to gloat.

"Oh dear, and here I thought that cousin might be a bit nicer to you for the sake of the child in your womb!"

"I wonder where you annoyed cousin to the point that he’s become so heartless towards you."

"Otherwise, shall I go and persuade cousin for you?"

Lin Fuying originally did not want to bother with her, but seeing Yang Xuan’s demeanor at that moment, she couldn’t help but be reminded of the scene when she saw Chu Nanli at the palace gates.

At that time, Nanli must have been mocking her just like Yang Xuan was!

Unable to help herself, she looked at Yang Xuan, "Do you think that Yunting brother would even want to see you if you went?"

Perhaps Ye Yunting’s aversion to Yang Xuan was no less than his disgust for her!

"So what?" Yang Xuan’s face changed instantly, "Unlike you, I’m not with child. Cousin can treat you like this now; maybe he’s already considering eliminating the mother but keeping the child!"

Yang Xuan’s tactless remark hit precisely on Lin Fuying’s biggest fear.

She had secured a temporary reprieve with this nonexistent child.

But in a few months, she obviously couldn’t conjure up a child out of thin air!

If Ye Yunting found out that even her pregnancy was a lie, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"No matter what, the one carrying the child is me, not you!"

Lin Fuying’s words carried a heavy air of boasting.

This provoked even more jealousy in Yang Xuan.

She couldn’t help but snort coldly, "You’re only relying on that belly of yours!"

If it weren’t for the child, perhaps Lin Fuying wouldn’t be able to hold onto even the concubine’s position by now!

"It’s a pity, now you haven’t even married Yunting brother, and later, you probably won’t get the chance!"

"If Yunting brother really wanted to marry you, he wouldn’t have waited so long with absolutely no word, would he?"

Lin Fuying’s hand gently rested on her lower abdomen, casting a triumphant glance toward Yang Xuan.

Sometimes, after pretending for so long, she could even deceive herself.

As if there truly was a child inside her belly right now.

As soon as Lin Fuying uttered those words, Yang Xuan became even more furious.

She even wanted to strike down at Lin Fuying right there.

However, before she could harm Lin Fuying, Ye Yi quickly intervened and stopped her.

Ye Yunting had expressly commanded that under no circumstances was anyone to harm the child within Lin Fuying’s womb.

Beyond that, whatever else happened to Lin Fuying was of no concern to him.

"I’d really like to see just how long you can be so smug!"

Yang Xuan glared hatefully at Lin Fuying’s retreating figure, her eyes brimming with venomous fury.

She wanted to see how Lin Fuying would continue her arrogance once the child was gone!

In front of Yang Xuan, Lin Fuying could naturally be arrogant.

But once she returned to her courtyard, her expression instantly turned gloomy.

The many events of the day had nearly thrown her mental state out of balance.

Especially after finding out that Ye Yunting had actually gone to see Chu Nanli.

If Chu Nanli truly intended to come back, then would she still have a place in the War King Residence?

No, she had to find a way to save herself.

Lin Fuying soon thought of a "good plan".

...

Although Ye Yunting had confined Lin Fuying to her quarters, he hadn’t forbidden Bai Wuheng from visiting her for medical examination.

She simply had Xiaoyun send out a message, and Bai Wuheng hurriedly arrived at the War King Residence.

"What’s wrong? Is there some discomfort with your body?"

No sooner had Bai Wuheng arrived than he saw Lin Fuying’s cheeks deeply hollowed out, and her eyes were severely swollen and red.

She forced a smile at Bai Wuheng, "Big Brother Bai, yesterday Brother Yunting..."

Lin Fuying wept as she recounted the humiliating ordeal Ye Yunting put her through in front of everyone at the palace gate to Bai Wuheng.

After hearing her story, Bai Wuheng’s brows furrowed even tighter, "That’s too much! Regardless of anything, you’re still the concubine of the War King Residence. Isn’t he losing face for the War King Residence by doing this?"

Could it be that Ye Yunting thinks treating Lin Fuying so harshly will be of any benefit to his reputation?

People will surely think that Ye Yunting is a petty and whimsical person if this news spreads.

However, even furious as he was, Bai Wuheng couldn’t just go and confront Ye Yunting directly.

After their last argument, his relationship with Ye Yunting had reached rock bottom.

He wasn’t even called to treat Ye Yunting when he had a persistent high fever.

Naturally, he wouldn’t take the initiative to bow down.

Seeing no reaction from Bai Wuheng, impatience flickered in Lin Fuying’s eyes, but then she continued speaking hesitantly.

"Actually, it’s not all Brother Yunting’s fault, it must’ve been because my sister said something to Brother Yunting yesterday at the palace."

"Brother Yunting was too angry, that’s why he took it out on me."

"What on earth is Ye Yunting thinking?"

Bai Wuheng’s feelings toward Chu Nanli were incredibly complex.

In fact, after his last dispute with Ye Yunting, he could see that of all the people involved, it was Ye Yunting who was the most in the wrong.

"Chu Nanli clearly doesn’t want to bother with him anymore, isn’t he just asking for trouble?"
