My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 424 New Arrangements

Chapter 424: Chapter 424 New Arrangements

"That’s not necessarily the case!"

Lin Fuying gave her a glance, but she didn’t intend to explain anything to Xiaoyun.

This girl was indeed loyal, yet sometimes she was too foolish.

However, Lin Fuying only needed her loyalty.

Xiaoyun, to show her dedication, had not inquired about the fate of the old maid locked in the Prince Residence’s firewood room to this day.

Just this fact alone was enough to satisfy Lin Fuying.

"Without her, there’s no guarantee there won’t be another noble lady from a prominent family who knows what measures they would resort to in order to marry Brother Yunting."

Lin Fuying’s words were overheard by Dong Yue, who came in to tidy up.

Dong Yue couldn’t help but curl her lips. When it came to schemes and cunning, which noble lady in the capital could compare with Lin Fuying?

She truly had nothing to worry about others.

"By the way, I asked you to go out and gather information. Did you find out anything?"

Deep down, Lin Fuying still harbored a sliver of hope.

What if Yang Xuan’s plan had miraculously succeeded?

"It seems there has been no movement at all over there."

Xiaoyun had gone out today, mingling with the servants who were out shopping.

She specifically went to the vicinity of Chu Nanli’s courtyard and looked around for a long time but didn’t see anything amiss.

If something had really happened to Chu Nanli, there should have been chaos inside by now.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fuying fell silent again.

Yang Xuan being sent back to the Yang Family was a good thing for Lin Fuying.

Yet Ye Yunting’s swift actions were indeed worrisome.

The last time Yang Xuan attempted to harm her "child," Ye Yunting only gave her a minor punishment as a warning.

In the end, because of Princess Consort Yang Shu’s intervention, Yang Xuan wasn’t punished at all.

But this time, before Yang Xuan could succeed, Ye Yunting had already resolved her with thunderous methods.

Did this not indicate that Chu Nanli held much more weight in his heart than she did?

Lin Fuying’s expression gradually became unsightly.

The last thing she wanted to see was this kind of situation.

When Chu Nanli first entered the residence, she had easily sown discord between them.

How could things have turned out this way now?

"Damn it, Chu Nanli, you wretch, you really deserve to die!"

If she had known it would come to this, she should have directly bribed a servant to kill Chu Nanli!

Lin Fuying was immersed in her anger, until Xiaoyun came to announce that Bai Wuheng had arrived outside.

"Quickly let him in!"

She had been waiting for Bai Wuheng these last few days, hoping he would bring good news.

She just hoped that this time Bai Wuheng wouldn’t disappoint her.

Bai Wuheng hurried in, and after his arrival, he had Xiaoyun leave.

"Brother Bai, I’m so scared!"

Before Bai Wuheng could speak, Lin Fuying had already begun with a cry in her voice.

"I just heard that Brother Yunting had someone send my cousin back to the Yang Family!"

"It seems she was going to make a move on Sister Chu, but somehow, Brother Yunting found out."

Seizing the moment when Bai Wuheng was stunned by the news, Lin Fuying continued to feign distress.

"Brother Bai, tell me, if Brother Yunting could be so ruthless to my cousin, could he be even more ruthless to me?"

Ye Yunting’s treatment of Yang Xuan this time could actually be considered lenient.

He merely dashed her hopes of marrying into the Prince Residence, yet Yang Xuan could still live in luxury relying on the Yang Family.

What sort of punishment is this?

She felt that Ye Yunting should have just killed Yang Xuan directly!

"How could that be? You’re not as cruel as she is."

If it wasn’t for Lin Fuying bringing it up, Bai Wuheng really wouldn’t have known about this matter.

He hadn’t even considered that Ye Yunting would do such a thing.

Is he not afraid of offending the Yang Family?

"Besides, the method you mentioned earlier, I’ve already started preparing it."

In the past few days, Bai Wuheng had gone through the medical books left by his predecessors and had finally come up with perfect, flawless wording.

One that could deceive Ye Yunting.

Luckily, the day of Chu Nanli’s childbirth was less than two months away.

The child that was knocked down was also about seven months along by the months.

He could find a premature baby to bring over, and when the time came, he would just say that he had been carefully nurturing the child because the situation was unstable, and that was why he had waited until now to inform Ye Yunting.

"Brother Bai, you’re really too kind!"

Upon hearing this news, Lin Fuying was overjoyed.

She looked up at Bai Wuheng, the sullen look that had been on her face just now had already disappeared without a trace.

The news that Bai Wuheng brought her was truly the best she had heard in recent days.

But Bai Wuheng was obviously not as optimistic as she was.

He couldn’t help but speak up to persuade her, "Yingying, do you really want to do this?"

"If you really go through with it, you might never be able to turn back."

After all, one lie had to be covered with countless other lies.

And if this lie was exposed, both he and Lin Fuying would be doomed beyond redemption.

That was way too risky.

"If I don’t do this, what else can I do?"

Lin Fuying looked at him with considerable disappointment.

She hadn’t expected Bai Wuheng to be so cowardly!

If she didn’t do this, how could she secure the position of the Princess Consort to the War King!

"Brother Bai, haven’t you ever considered for me? My mother is just a concubine in the Prime Minister Residence, and from a young age, my mother and I have suffered so much humiliation there!"

"If Yunting doesn’t want me, my situation will only be worse than it was when I was a child!"

Every word from Lin Fuying tormented Bai Wuheng’s heart.

The two of them had so many years of affection, Bai Wuheng found it very difficult to manage anyway.

Moreover, he simply couldn’t stand Lin Fuying’s tears.

"Brother Bai, I swear, just help me this one last time, the very last time, please?"

She said that, but if something happened in the future, Lin Fuying would surely come to him for help again.

She had always been this selfish.

Now that Lin Fuying had spoken thus, Bai Wuheng naturally had no choice but to compromise.

"Alright, as long as you do as I say, Yunting... he should not become suspicious of you, and you will be able to explain yourself more clearly to him."

Bai Wuheng sighed. Since he had already promised Lin Fuying, he would naturally do his best to help her.

And make sure that there were no mistakes.

"As for the child, I’ve already found a family. After bringing the child over, I’ll give them a sum of money and arrange for them to leave the capital, the further the better."

Bai Wuheng was doing his utmost for her.

It’s a pity, though, that his arrangements, which he thought were foolproof, Lin Fuying found bothersome.

No matter how much he did or how thoroughly he thought things through, Lin Fuying never considered repaying him.

She was thinking of how to use him from the beginning to the end.

"And," Bai Wuheng continued, speaking anxiously, "about the child, what do you plan to do? If you’re going to send the child away, you should also think of a good excuse beforehand."
