My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 444 She’s Too Bold!

Chapter 444: Chapter 444 She’s Too Bold!

His little childhood sweetheart had truly deceived him miserably.

Ye Jiuxiao, after all, was a normal man, and hearing the person he loved mention someone else in her mouth inevitably left him feeling a bit sour.

He reached out to pinch Chu Nanli’s face and then spoke, "That stupid fellow who got tricked so easily, it really serves him right."

"If you want to talk, just talk. Why the need for physical gestures?"

Chu Nanli slapped the prescription onto the table in front of him, glancing at him with a mix of annoyance and anger before continuing.

"Does she not fear being exposed for her actions?"

"Or, has she already thought of a way to cover it up?"

Otherwise, when the time came, Lin Fuying’s lies would sooner or later be seen through.

Apart from that, Chu Nanli really couldn’t think of any other possibility.

However, this very matter, if used wisely, could definitely make Lin Fuying restrain herself for a while.

Just as she was about to discuss the next steps with Ye Jiuxiao, she heard the gatekeeper report that Lin Xuanxuan was here.

Although she didn’t know the purpose of her visit, Lin Xuanxuan was not an outsider, so she still let her in.

When Lin Xuanxuan entered, her eyes were already slightly red, and upon seeing Chu Nanli, that feeling of grievance intensified.

Perhaps because Ye Jiuxiao was present, she still managed not to lose her composure excessively.

Chu Nanli discreetly sent Ye Jiuxiao a look, indicating that he should step aside for a moment.

Ye Jiuxiao certainly did not want to leave just like that.

He looked at Chu Nanli with a hurt expression but chose to leave first.

After Ye Jiuxiao had left, Lin Xuanxuan indeed seemed much more at ease.

The tears she had been holding back for so long finally fell.

"What exactly happened? Has someone been bullying you?"

Seeing her like this, Chu Nanli quickly took a handkerchief from Yanyan’s hands and began to wipe away her tears.

Not wishing to overly discuss the shame of her family affairs, Lin Xuanxuan remained evasive even under Chu Nanli’s persistent questioning.

Even if Lin Xuanxuan didn’t say it, Chu Nanli could guess that she must have been wronged at the Prime Minister Residence.

Apart from the Prime Minister Residence, there was no other place that could have caused her such distress.

Lin Xuanxuan quickly composed herself and said, "By the way, I don’t know why, but Lin Fuying suddenly returned from the Prince Residence, and from the look of it, she seems to plan on staying at the Prime Minister Residence for the next few days."

"Do you think she’s come up with another malicious plan?"

Lin Xuanxuan now harbored not a shred of goodwill towards Lin Fuying.

"She couldn’t be planning to take this opportunity to harm my mother, could she?"

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn’t help but worry about her mother’s current situation.

Who knows what other dirty tricks Lin Fuying might have up her sleeve?

"You just relax, at such a critical juncture, she definitely wouldn’t want any complications," Chu Nanli reassured her.

Chu Nanli could, after all, understand her concerns.

After all, Lin Xuanxuan had surely witnessed plenty of Lin Fuying’s vicious tactics over the years.

Having such concerns was only natural.

"Instead of worrying about that, you might as well take a look at this prescription and guess what it’s for?"

Being ignorant about medicine, Lin Xuanxuan naturally had no idea.

Now being asked by Chu Nanli, she was even more uncertain of how to answer.

She simply blurted out directly, "How could I possibly guess? But since you’re asking this way, you must already have a clear understanding of this prescription, right?"

Chu Nanli didn’t play coy any longer and disclosed both the effects of the prescription and her speculations.

That included the possibility that Lin Fuying might not be pregnant.

Such a risky business caused Lin Xuanxuan to widen her eyes in shock as well.

"How could she dare to do such a thing?"

Just like Chu Nanli, Lin Xuanxuan felt such behavior was unbelievable.

"If this gets exposed, wouldn’t it implicate the Prime Minister Residence as well? Has she lost her mind?"

By then, what if His Majesty and Ye Yunting began to suspect that it was her father plotting treachery, secretly supporting Lin Fuying’s actions? What then?

"We must find a way to expose her!"

This was a grave mistake that could muddle the Royal Family’s bloodline!

Rather than waiting for the Empress Dowager or His Majesty to discover it and consequently drag the Prime Minister Residence into it, it was better to resolve this troubling matter now before things escalated to their worst stage.

Chu Nanli’s idea was precisely in line with Lin Xuanxuan’s thinking.

"Do not worry, I’ve already had an idea of how to expose her, I just need to refine it a bit."

Actually, Chu Nanli had many speculations about Lin Fuying’s pregnancy from the start.

However, due to an overwhelming number of issues, she hadn’t had the time to contemplate deeply before being entangled by other matters.

Although the prescription could be corroborative evidence, strong definitive proof was certainly still required.

Chu Nanli remained cautious, "Fortuitously, she has returned to the Prime Minister Residence these past few days. Searching for evidence would be much easier than before."

"If there’s any way I can be of help, just tell me. This time, I will expose her true nature no matter what!"

She was eager to show her foolish father the true venomous heart of the daughter he had cherished all these years!

Thinking of this, Lin Xuanxuan couldn’t help but sigh, "If only we could find evidence against Auntie Li at the same time."

Regrettably, Auntie Li had been extremely careful when she did wrong all those years ago, and with so many years passed, the investigation proved to be exceedingly challenging.

"Actually, you needn’t worry too much. If she did it, there must be traces left behind."

Chu Nanli knew her mood was down and could only try to provide comfort.

"Besides, didn’t you also say that back then, she was just a maid? When doing misdeeds, she wouldn’t have had the influence she has now; there must be loopholes, we just haven’t found them yet."

"You’re right," Lin Xuanxuan said thoughtfully, nodding her head. If Auntie Li truly harmed her mother behind the scenes back then,

even if Prime Minister Lin wanted to protect her, her maternal family would never permit it!

"How do you feel now, better?"

Seeing Lin Xuanxuan’s brow relax, Chu Nanli felt relief wash over her.

Although she didn’t know what Lin Xuanxuan had just gone through, she could imagine it definitely involved Lin Fuying.

With Lin Fuying’s myriad of disgusting schemes, Lin Xuanxuan would likely suffer a great deal facing her alone.

But since everything happened at the Prime Minister Residence, her current status gave her no way to help Lin Xuanxuan.

"I didn’t intentionally come to disturb you and the Prince; I was just feeling upset and couldn’t find any other place to go, so I came to find you."

After calming down, Lin Xuanxuan felt somewhat embarrassed.

Her weeping and wailing arrival was already shameful enough.

Moreover, it seemed that she had interrupted Ye Jiuxiao’s and Chu Nanli’s time together.
