My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 417: Saving Again

Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Saving Again

The Empress Dowager’s words only served to scare Princess Consort Yang Shu, leaving her complexion deathly pale.

Princess Consort Yang Shu knew very well that, should anything truly go wrong today and the Emperor hear of it, he would definitely blame Ye Yunting!

Wouldn’t that mean she had nearly caused her own son harm?

At this thought, Princess Consort Yang Shu even began to resent Yang Xuan.

If it weren’t for Yang Xuan constantly speaking ill of Lin Fuying in front of her, how would she have thought to summon Lin Fuying to the palace to punish her severely?

"What happened today, let it end here."

"If you cause any more trouble in the future, never mind the Emperor, I will be the first to deal with you!"

Knowing that the child in Lin Fuying’s womb was unharmed, the Empress Dowager couldn’t be bothered to get involved any further.

With a wave of her hand, she quickly left the room.

The Empress Dowager could hardly probe Chu Nanli further after what had transpired today.

"I will arrange for someone to escort you back to the palace later," she said.

As for the other noble ladies, the Empress Dowager naturally had someone see them out as well.

After the Empress Dowager’s departure, the atmosphere in the hall became even more stagnant.

Ye Yunting watched Princess Consort Yang Shu with an icy face, "Mother Consort, what exactly happened? Even if you cannot stand her, you shouldn’t have done this."

His words lacked any defense for Lin Fuying.

The reason Ye Yunting had hurried to the palace today was solely for the sake of "the child."

If Lin Fuying lost "the child," he would no longer care about her life or death.

"I’ve said it already, I only intended a small reprimand as a greater warning; I never wanted her child to be harmed!"

Being treated with such an attitude by her own son, Princess Consort Yang Shu felt incredibly aggrieved.

Wasn’t everything she did for the sake of Ye Yunting?

No matter what, Lin Fuying was just a concubine-born daughter of the Prime Minister Residence.

If she really seized the opportunity and managed to give birth, climbing to the position of the War King’s Princess Consort, then what would become of us?

Princess Consort Yang Shu couldn’t help but speak out, "Mother Consort just wants the best for you!"

"Then please, Mother Consort, refrain from meddling in your son’s family matters from now on!"

The resentment in Ye Yunting’s words was more about Chu Nanli.

He couldn’t help but think that if, from the beginning, Princess Consort Yang Shu had been kinder to Chu Nanli, would her attitude have been so cold?

"Moreover," he paused, his eyes sweeping over Yang Xuan, who was trying to make herself seem as unobtrusive as possible, "Cousin is getting older, and it’s not good for her to live unclearly in your son’s Prince Residence, affecting her future marriage prospects. Mother Consort, it would be better for Cousin to move back to the Yang Family."

Today’s incident was undoubtedly related to Yang Xuan too.

His tolerance for Yang Xuan had also reached its limit.

Yang Xuan wanted to say a few words in her own defense, but one look from Ye Yunting’s frightening gaze, and she dared not speak another word.

After Ye Yunting finished speaking, he turned to Bai Wuheng, "If her health is fine, have someone carry her back."

"I have matters to attend to and must leave the palace now."

Having said that, he didn’t wait for anyone to respond and walked straight out.

Having lost face because of Ye Yunting, Princess Consort Yang Shu no longer wished to stay there.

She didn’t even bother with Yang Xuan and went directly back to her palace.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Yang Xuan glared at Lin Fuying hatefully. If they weren’t in the palace at the moment, she would have had people confront Lin Fuying already.

"My cousin has turned me away and Aunt’s been reprimanded by the Empress Dowager, all this is your doing, isn’t it?"

"Brother Bai, could you leave us for a moment? I have some things I want to discuss with her alone."

Bai Wuheng did not want to leave, but ultimately, unable to resist Lin Fuying’s pleading gaze, he turned and walked out.

In front of Bai Wuheng, Lin Fuying had to put on an act.

But now, alone with Yang Xuan, she no longer needed to pretend.

She sneered contemptuously, "Was today’s performance something the Noble Lady and you arranged on the spot, then? How could I possibly have foreseen it?"

"However, if you ask me, if you’re too foolish even to scheme against others without bungling it, who else can you blame?"

"You!"

Yang Xuan was about to strike, but her eyes caught sight of Lin Fuying’s lower abdomen, and she forcibly restrained herself.

The Empress Dowager had just left, and she didn’t want to act on impulse only to summon her back.

"Am I wrong?"

This was a moment Lin Fuying no longer needed to hold her tongue, her tone more carefree than ever.

"Considering you’re not completely foolish, let me remind you, do you really think the person Yunting brother cares about the most is me?"

"If you go after him now, perhaps you’ll be able to see clearly."

Lin Fuying was well aware that Ye Yunting claiming he had urgent matters to leave the palace was nothing more than an excuse.

He must be hurrying to see Chu Nanli!

She couldn’t directly take action against Chu Nanli now.

But Yang Xuan could.

Instead of letting Yang Xuan keep plotting against her, why not use Yang Xuan to cause trouble for Chu Nanli?

Better yet, if she could get rid of Chu Nanli’s child directly!

"Don’t think that just because you say that, I will let you off!"

Yang Xuan spoke in disbelief, yet her eyes revealed a hint of hesitation.

"Even if I move out of the War King Residence, I will certainly not make your life easy!"

After delivering her threat, Yang Xuan didn’t delay any longer and hurriedly left.

Just as Lin Fuying had guessed, Ye Yunting had left to meet Chu Nanli.

In his haste, he managed to find her just before she left the palace.

"Lili!"

Ye Yunting paid no attention to the palace attendant nearby and directly barred Chu Nanli’s way.

Seeing his straightforward gaze, Chu Nanli felt nothing but disgust.

"If I remember correctly, I currently have no relationship whatsoever with the Prince."

Chu Nanli took a small step back, not hiding her disdain for Ye Yunting.

Calling me in such an intimate manner only disgusts me."

"You are still angry with me, I don’t blame you," Ye Yunting tried hard to suppress his temper, "I came to the palace today not because I was worried about Lin Fuying, it was merely to avoid giving others a pretext."

"Rest assured, my plans remain unchanged. As soon as she gives birth, I will naturally deal with her!"

Had it not been for Lin Fuying, he and Chu Nanli would not have ended up like this!

If he had seen through Lin Fuying’s lies from the start and treated Chu Nanli better, she certainly would not have left him.

After all, it was Chu Nanli who had chosen him of her own accord.

"Whoever the Prince wishes to deal with or wants to deal with has nothing to do with me, nor do I care,"

Chu Nanli looked at Ye Yunting coldly, her hand still protectively over her belly, as if fearing a sudden attack from him.

Seeing this, Ye Yunting felt even more helpless, "What must I do for you to forgive me?"

"Just stay away from me, that’s all."

Chu Nanli had come to realize that no matter what she said to Ye Yunting, he would not listen.

It would be better not to say a word at all.
