My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 447: Absolutely Impossible

Chapter 447: Chapter 447: Absolutely Impossible

It was bad enough that her husband wanted to elevate his concubine to a higher position, but to even think of having his wife help with the arrangements?

Who could endure such a humiliation?

Even though the wife of the Prime Minister desperately wanted to argue with Prime Minister Lin, the habit of enduring submissively over the years left her at a loss for words.

After all, in her mind, her husband was akin to heaven itself.

Even though Prime Minister Lin’s words made her uncomfortable, she still couldn’t find a reason to argue.

But Lin Xuanxuan was different.

She continued to speak to Prime Minister Lin, "Since Father has already planned this, why don’t you discuss it directly with my maternal grandfather?"

Why must he push everything onto her mother?

Prime Minister Lin knew it would be difficult for her mother yet still said such things, wasn’t it because he knew his wife wouldn’t resist?

This is simply how men are.

Lin Xuanxuan coldly looked at Prime Minister Lin; her outspokenness left him feeling not only embarrassed but also dissatisfied.

"I was discussing this with your mother, why do you interfere?" he rebuked Lin Xuanxuan sharply, then turned his head towards his wife.

"How have you been raising her all these years? She’s becoming increasingly unruly!"

Once the matter involved Lin Xuanxuan, the wife of the Prime Minister finally started to brace herself.

She gathered her courage and turned to Prime Minister Lin: "I think Xuanxuan’s current demeanor is very fine. If my lord truly wishes to promote Auntie Li to an official wife, it indeed should be discussed first with my father, as it is only proper for an elder to handle such matters."

Although she feared her husband’s authority, she would not hesitate at all when it came to defending her daughter.

Hearing her mother defend her so firmly, Lin Xuanxuan’s eyes began to redden slightly.

She had thought that over the years, her mother had become accustomed to yielding in front of her father.

That’s why she stood up at this moment, preferring to be scolded by her father, to clarify the stakes involved.

She wanted to make Prime Minister Lin realize that her maternal family, although no match for the Prime Minister Residence, was not something to be trifled with.

If Prime Minister Lin persisted, he should consider whether her maternal family would agree.

"In that case, let’s discuss this matter some other day."

Prime Minister Lin was no longer the naive boy he had been in his teens.

If he were still young, perhaps he might indeed make some foolish decisions because of his love for a concubine.

But now as Prime Minister, he had much more to consider and should not make such decisions rashly.

What Lin Xuanxuan had said was indeed harsh, but it clearly pointed out what he had failed to consider.

This matter would certainly require further careful consideration.

How could it possibly be postponed temporarily?

Listening to all this anxiously by the side, Lin Fuying, accustomed to being the obedient daughter in front of Prime Minister Lin, naturally did not dare to speak out against him.

She could only resentfully watch as the wife of the Prime Minister and Lin Xuanxuan left.

Once they were out of the concubine’s courtyard, the tears the Prime Minister’s wife had been forcefully holding back finally began to fall.

Even as she cried, she remained graceful and composed, gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, without any hint of losing her composure.

"Mother, listen to me, you should pack your things and go back to your family’s home right away."

Lin Xuanxuan looked at her mother’s worn appearance, and her resentment towards Prime Minister Lin immediately grew even stronger.

"How can that be possible?"

Even at a time like this, the wife of the Prime Minister was still considering Prime Minister Lin.

"With so many people to manage in the residence, and with many affairs to handle, if I were to leave now, wouldn’t the entire Prime Minister Residence fall into utter chaos?"

"So what?" Lin Xuanxuan had long been disappointed in Prime Minister Lin, especially after what had just occurred, "Father behaves this way, do you really feel at ease?"

Lin Xuanxuan suggesting that the Prime Minister’s wife return to her parental home was not to incite her mother to act spitefully towards Prime Minister Lin.

She was only worried that, since the scheme had not succeeded this time, they might resort to framing and entrapment.

Only by having the Prime Minister’s wife leave this place of dispute could she avoid being framed by others.

"But..."

"Didn’t you tell me before that maternal grandmother has not been very well recently? Just consider it a trip to visit maternal grandmother and stay with her for a few days."

Lin Xuanxuan believed that, given her maternal family’s affection for her mother, they would never tolerate Prime Minister Lin’s behavior of favoring the concubine over his wife.

When the time comes, they might even step forward and warn Prime Minister Lin.

Upon hearing Lin Xuanxuan’s words, the uncertainty on the Prime Minister’s wife’s face grew even more evident.

Indeed, it had been a long time since she had last visited her parental home.

Even though her parental home and the Prime Minister Residence were both in the capital.

But as the main mistress of a household, the Prime Minister’s wife was naturally busy with many matters, and during festivals and celebrations, she was even busier to the point of having no time to rest.

She had absolutely no time to rest.

Not to mention, although the Prime Minister Residence appeared harmonious on the surface, it was actually rife with undercurrents.

"Just listen to your daughter, return for a few days, visit your maternal grandmother, and by the way, see your uncle and aunt. If there’s any urgent matter in the residence, your daughter can immediately send someone to inform you, wouldn’t that be fine?"

In fact, Lin Xuanxuan had already decided in her heart that even if something really happened in the Prime Minister Residence, she would definitely not inform the Prime Minister’s wife.

Her father thinks Aunt Li is perfect in every way, doesn’t he?

Then let him see if, without her mother, the Prime Minister Residence can still be as well-ordered as it is now.

...

Chu Nanli was still unaware of what exactly had happened in the Prime Minister Residence.

But with Ye Jiuxiao’s help, she had very smoothly found crucial evidence from Bai Wuheng.

After every consultation with Lin Fuying, Bai Wuheng carefully kept the medical prescriptions for healing, to avoid the trouble of having to search for them again next time.

The recent medication prescribed by him for Lin Fuying included an herb that must absolutely not be touched by pregnant women.

With Bai Wuheng’s medical skills, it was impossible for him not to notice such a fundamental mistake.

There was only one possibility left.

Lin Fuying was not pregnant at all.

And Bai Wuheng must have been aware of this and might even have helped conceal it.

He always completely deferred to Lin Fuying, agreeing to whatever she asked of him.

Therefore, it was not surprising that Bai Wuheng would help Lin Fuying cover up.

As for how to expose Lin Fuying’s lies, Chu Nanli had already devised a foolproof strategy.

The Prime Minister’s wife temporarily returned to her parental home, and Prime Minister Lin naturally set aside his previous considerations for the time being.

And while Lin Fuying and her daughter had the intention to use the child as an excuse to frame the Prime Minister’s wife, with the Prime Minister’s wife not around, they were out of options.

Having no choice, Lin Fuying could only return to the War King Residence for the time being.

Now that Prime Minister Lin had been persuaded, achieving her goals was only a matter of time.

Just as Lin Fuying returned to the War King Residence, she learned from Ye Yunting that Chu Nanli actually intended to acknowledge that child.
