My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 421 Resolution

Chapter 421: Chapter 421 Resolution

Those two men clearly weren’t presentable.

Chu Yi had merely intimidated them a bit, and they couldn’t wait to spill everything.

Even if she and Chu Yi weren’t here today, just Mengmeng alone would have been more than enough to handle those two guys.

How could those men possibly have been sent by Lin Fuying?

However, Chu Nanli found it difficult to think of anyone else.

The people she had offended were all related to the War King Residence, but there were indeed very few who would resort to such secretive and underhanded tactics.

It was still necessary to see what those two men had to say.

Those two ruffians were truly living up to their name.

They confessed everything after just being intimidated casually.

"How could she have sent them?"

Upon learning the outcome, Chu Nanli was even more surprised.

Recently, she shouldn’t have offended Yang Xuan, right?

Could it be that Yang Xuan was being used by Lin Fuying?

It must be said that Chu Nanli’s guess was actually quite close to the truth.

"It’s really strange, I haven’t even seen Yang Xuan’s face lately, so why would she arrange for someone to target me?"

Yang Xuan’s motives were indeed puzzling.

The only possibility Chu Nanli could think of was that Yang Xuan was persuaded by Lin Fuying to collaborate with her against her.

Moreover, given Lin Fuying’s character, she would definitely have pushed Yang Xuan to take the lead.

But could that really be the case?

Although she had only met Yang Xuan a few times, she was clear that with her domineering heiress temperament, Yang Xuan would definitely not team up with Lin Fuying.

After much thought and still no clarity, Chu Nanli simply couldn’t be bothered to think about it anymore.

Yang Xuan alone probably couldn’t cause much trouble.

...

News of the two men’s failed disturbance quickly reached Yang Xuan.

After all, to witness everything, she had specifically chosen to sit in a teahouse not far away, with a view of the situation at the hotpot restaurant.

What she did not expect was that those two men would be so useless!

"What kind of people did you find for this? Didn’t I tell you to find someone clever?"

Yang Xuan glared angrily in that direction, and couldn’t help but glare at her own trembling maid.

"If you can’t even handle such a small matter, what use do I have for you by my side?"

The maid beside her showed a look of panic, yet couldn’t help but criticize inwardly.

Yang Xuan’s move was not effective from the start.

Those of us serving by her side tried to advise her several times, but Yang Xuan just scolded us and sent us away.

Over time, Yang Xuan came to have an overly high opinion of herself.

In the Yang Family, there were others to protect her, but now in the capital, who knows what kind of trouble she’ll cause.

But we are merely servants, what can we do against Yang Xuan?

"Forget it, if this attempt failed, so be it, help me make arrangements again."

Yang Xuan seemed to have realized that her approach had been wrong from the start.

What use was there in targeting Chu Nanli’s businesses?

Even if she completely ruined Chu Nanli’s shops, as long as Chu Nanli didn’t give up her pursuit of cousin, wouldn’t she end up gaining nothing in the end?

Turning to target Chu Nanli directly would be the real solution to all her problems.

Chu Nanli had thought that after the last disturbance came to naught, Yang Xuan would calm down.

She believed that she hadn’t done anything to offend Yang Xuan, and it seemed improbable that Yang Xuan would target her.

But Yang Xuan’s boldness was clearly much greater than she had imagined.

Even Ye Jiuxiao was alerted to the situation.

"The Prince means to say, she attempted to bribe someone close to me, and then tamper with my food?"

Chu Nanli was incredulous, not knowing whether she should admire Yang Xuan’s boldness or lament her foolishness.

Who could she possibly think she was deceiving with such an obvious and flawed method?

"The person she arranged was indeed foolish, going directly to the person I had placed."

Noticing Chu Nanli’s inexplicable gaze, Ye Jiuxiao coughed lightly and couldn’t help but start explaining.

"I didn’t intentionally keep you in the dark by placing people at your side, it’s just that there have been some dangers lurking in the shadows lately, and I had to be cautious."

"Next time there is such an arrangement, I’ll talk to you about it in advance. If you do not wish it..."

"Then you won’t make the arrangement?"

Chu Nanli tilted her head and couldn’t help but tease.

Having Ye Jiuxiao’s people secretly protect her was something that Chu Nanli had always been aware of.

She didn’t mind it at all.

After all, Ye Jiuxiao meant well.

He wouldn’t pry too much into her secrets.

"This item," Ye Jiuxiao quickly brought the topic back, "was found on that person."

Ye Jiuxiao was referring to a packet of powder.

Chu Nanli carefully shook open a handkerchief, dabbed it with a bit of the powder, and brought it close to scrutinize it for a moment.

She quickly identified the effect of the powder.

"This is a very powerful abortion medicine. Had I ingested it unprepared, I fear it would have killed both the child and me."

Chu Nanli certainly had means to counter it.

But she still felt somewhat emotional.

If she had truly been unaware and taken the bait, it would have definitely been troublesome.

But why would Yang Xuan target her out of the blue?

Could it be that Lin Fuying said something to her?

Before Chu Nanli could figure it out, she noticed that the aura around Ye Jiuxiao had turned cold.

That Yang Xuan really deserved to die!

"Aren’t I fine right now?"

Seeing his demeanor at that moment, Chu Nanli couldn’t help but reach out and pat the back of his hand, attempting to soothe his mood.

"Even if your people had not discovered it in time, it wouldn’t have been so easy for me to fall for it, right?"

She wasn’t so dull as to not detect someone tampering with her food.

Ye Jiuxiao couldn’t help but grasp her hand in return, "Leave this matter to me to handle."

He took the initiative, and naturally, Chu Nanli would not refuse.

She had plenty on her plate and had no interest in sparing the energy to deal with Yang Xuan.

Moreover, behind Yang Xuan stood the Yang Family.

What she didn’t know was that Ye Jiuxiao intended to warn not just the Yang Family but also Ye Yunting this time.

In his view, if not for Ye Yunting, how could Chu Nanli possibly encounter such an incident?

It seemed the lesson he had given was still not enough.

Ye Jiuxiao had come today for this matter alone.

Yet, even after the discussion was over, Ye Jiuxiao showed no sign of leaving.

He didn’t say he was leaving, so naturally, Chu Nanli wouldn’t take the initiative to send him away.

"It has been some time since the Prince returned from the Southern Border, right?"

Chu Nanli wasn’t trying to probe him, just casually asking.

"Have there been any leads on the investigation from last time?"

"Not for the moment," Ye Jiuxiao looked at her intently before speaking, "that incident from the other night, would you be willing to investigate further?"

"What do you mean?"

Actually, Chu Nanli was still uncertain about the truth of that night.

Even though the memories of the original body told her that the person from that night had a high likelihood of being Ye Yunting.
