My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 437: Unless Blood is Tested for Kinship

Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Unless Blood is Tested for Kinship

But when he finished speaking, all he could see was Chu Nanli’s mocking gaze.

Could it be that she had already guessed something?

Bai Wuheng was confident in his medical skills; this explanation was one he had concocted after exhausting all the knowledge he had acquired throughout his life.

It was absolutely impossible for Chu Nanli to see through it.

Thinking this, Bai Wuheng’s confidence grew even more.

Feigning composure, he continued, "For the sake of that child, Yingying even goes so far as to let blood for his treatment every day. Could it be that you are truly so heartless?"

"But I have never heard of such a treatment method."

Chu Nanli looked on with an indifferent face.

His words might deceive Ye Yunting, but they would never fool her.

With Bai Wuheng’s medical skills, it was absolutely impossible to save such a tiny embryo.

If she did not have the medical pod in her space, she would likely be at a loss as well.

"If you haven’t heard of it, that is your own ignorance."

Bai Wuheng let out a cold laugh. Although he felt insecure, he didn’t let it show.

"If Yingying hadn’t begged me, I wouldn’t have expended so much effort to save that child. What I didn’t expect was that you would be so ruthless as to not care about your own flesh and blood!"

His words were far more excessive than Lin Fuying’s had been.

It was as if he had bestowed a great favor upon Chu Nanli by saving that child.

But the one who had originally suggested using the embryo as a medicine primer was none other than him.

If Bai Wuheng had not deliberately said so under Lin Fuying’s guidance, perhaps the original owner would not have suffered such pain and fallen into despair.

Bai Wuheng was also one of the accomplices.

"If that’s the case, shouldn’t the responsibility lie with the person who asked for the rescue?"

Lin Xuanxuan curled her lips, looking at Bai Wuheng’s demeanor, she felt even more indignant for Chu Nanli.

She was not unaware that Bai Wuheng, despite his reputation as a Divine Doctor, had always followed Lin Fuying around since childhood.

His medical skills were probably all used for Lin Fuying’s benefit.

A physician should help the world at large, but Bai Wuheng, in contrast, never considered the plight of the suffering common people outside. Now, he was assisting Lin Fuying in such deceitful schemes.

How utterly shameless!

"Moreover, how can you prove that the child is Nanli’s? At the very least, you should bring the child over for a blood test to recognize kinship before claiming so, shouldn’t you?"

Lin Xuanxuan’s words successfully made the faces of both Ye Yunting and Bai Wuheng turn ugly.

Ye Yunting still stared intently at Chu Nanli: "Is that also what you think?"

"Chu Nanli, don’t be too willful!"

If this went on, it would benefit neither of them.

"Is the Prince unwilling to do a blood test to recognize kinship because you have something to hide?"

In fact, Chu Nanli was well aware that the blood test to recognize kinship had little cause to stand on.

But in the eyes of the people of this era, the results from a blood test for kinship were conclusive evidence.

"Yingying has already said that the child is weak in constitution..."

"Even if the body is weak, drawing a single drop of blood couldn’t possibly cause any trouble, right? Your resistance to this, could it be because the child’s origins really do have some issues?"

Chu Nanli’s tone became instantly aggressive.

The two people, who were already somewhat insecure, felt even more vulnerable after hearing her words.

But Lin Fuying was after all much more cunning and calculating than Bai Wuheng.

She feigned pity and looked towards Ye Yunting, "Yunting brother, it really isn’t that Yingying is unwilling, but you have seen it too— that child’s body is truly frail and cannot be exposed to the wind. My sister asked me to bring him here; isn’t this asking for that child’s life?"

Compared to Chu Nanli’s assertiveness, Lin Fuying’s submissive and humble demeanor clearly made Ye Yunting more comfortable.

Even if at this moment, he still felt repulsed by Lin Fuying’s previous actions.

"I did not know that you have become so heartless now!"

Ye Yunting looked deeply into Chu Nanli’s eyes, his gaze filled with undisguisable disappointment.

But his words had no impact on Chu Nanli.

Chu Nanli lifted her eyelids slightly, "Speaking of heartlessness, how can I compare with you, Prince?"

She genuinely didn’t understand what Ye Yunting had gone through to have such a thick face.

"Then don’t regret it!"

By now, Chu Nanli’s words had thoroughly ignited Ye Yunting’s temper.

He had decided not to use gentle methods to persuade Chu Nanli to go back.

Having said that, he didn’t even care about Lin Fuying at his side and turned to leave directly.

Being ignored in front of Chu Nanli made Lin Fuying truly embarrassed and angry.

She had just shown off in front of Chu Nanli how much Ye Yunting doted on her, only to have her face slapped so harshly the next second!

"Sister Chu, Yingying also hopes that you will think it over!"

Lin Fuying, at an angle invisible to Bai Wuheng, glared hard at Chu Nanli before turning to leave.

She followed Ye Yunting’s steps and boarded the carriage back to the Prince Residence, not caring at all about Bai Wuheng beside her.

"I really don’t understand why this Bai Wuheng has to be so infatuated."

Lin Xuanxuan watched the three of them leave and couldn’t help shaking her head.

"Could it really be just because of a childhood life-saving grace?"

Chu Nanli, with a bit of curiosity, asked, "A life-saving grace? What’s this all about?"

"I also just heard about it, about ten years ago, back when Ye Yunting was not yet the War King. They accompanied the envoy to Chu Kingdom for a while, and it seems during that time Bai Wuheng encountered danger in Chu Kingdom and was saved by her. Since then, he’s always held her in high regard."

"I really don’t understand what kind of spell Lin Fuying has cast on him; no matter how great the favor, after so many years, it should have already been repaid."

Lin Xuanxuan was busy recalling the past and didn’t notice, when she mentioned Chu Kingdom, that Chu Nanli’s expression became somewhat embarrassed.

For now, she still couldn’t reveal her true identity to Lin Xuanxuan.

She just hoped that Lin Xuanxuan wouldn’t be too angry when she found out the truth in the future.

...

Lin Fuying finally managed to follow Ye Yunting’s steps and sat in the carriage back to the Prince Residence.

As soon as she looked up, she met Ye Yunting’s stern face.

"Yunting brother, today’s matter was indeed too rash of Yingying."

In front of Ye Yunting, Lin Fuying had always presented such a submissive and humble stance.

And it was precisely because of that Ye Yunting unconsciously compared her to Chu Nanli, finding Chu Nanli’s personality to be more defiant and harder to control.

His affection for Chu Nanli indeed stemmed more from a desire to control her.

"Had I known sister disliked that child so much, I shouldn’t have been too hasty. Now it has only made her dislike me even more."

"What does it have to do with you, it’s all because she is too willful!"

Ye Yunting’s eyes filled with gloom, and by now, he had begun to regret why he had agreed to the divorce with Chu Nanli in the first place.

If there hadn’t been a divorce, then Chu Nanli would still be within his control.
