My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage -
Chapter 450: Leaving the Capital
Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Leaving the Capital
"I’ve said all I needed to say. Whether you believe it or not is your own business."
Chu Nanli did not want to talk much with Ye Yunting. Besides clarifying things to Ye Yunting today, she had another matter to discuss.
"I have never planned to look back, nor implore the Prince to control his Concubine better in the future, and stop using such despicable means to scheme against others!"
Her words were like a slap across Lin Fuying’s face.
Lin Fuying’s face had already begun to contort with rage.
But what worried her more was clearly Ye Yunting’s attitude at that moment.
Having said all she wanted, Chu Nanli did not wish to stay any longer and planned to leave first.
As she stood up, Ye Jiuxiao naturally gave her a hand, and the intimate atmosphere between the two left no room for a third person.
This scene, reaching Ye Yunting’s ears, almost made him lose his sanity.
Chu Nanli did not care how these people thought.
Once outside, she spoke, "I don’t know how much of what I just said he could really understand."
"If he continues to be deluded, the consequences are his own to bear."
Ye Jiuxiao had already considered that if Ye Yunting dared to harass them again, he would naturally step in and teach him a lesson.
If that didn’t improve his memory, he wouldn’t show any more mercy.
"Tomorrow, I will leave the capital, and it might take about half a month to return."
The sudden knowledge of Ye Jiuxiao’s imminent departure caught Chu Nanli somewhat off guard.
She couldn’t help but ask, "Is it related to the last incident?"
"It’s another matter. I’ll explain it to you in detail when I return," Ye Jiuxiao reassured her with a smile, "It shouldn’t be anything troublesome."
How could it not be troublesome?
Ye Jiuxiao’s hasty departure made it clear that the matter was rather thorny.
But to not add to his burden, Chu Nanli refrained from saying much.
"I was thinking of leaving a few more Hidden Guards with you, to protect you. This way, I can leave the capital with peace of mind. How about that?"
Before Chu Nanli granted her permission, Ye Jiuxiao would not arrange it on his own.
Upon hearing this, Chu Nanli couldn’t help but shake her head: "You are leaving the capital on business and will certainly need capable people by your side. I am in the capital every day, what danger could I possibly encounter?"
She was also due to give birth in a little over a month, naturally, she couldn’t be running around everywhere during this time.
Seeing Chu Nanli so insistent, Ye Jiuxiao had no choice but to let it be.
However, before this, he had already assigned his best Hidden Guard to protect Chu Nanli, and arranged for many others around her courtyard.
Chu Nanli’s small courtyard had already been guarded so tightly that no one could attempt anything in secret.
After Chu Nanli and Ye Jiuxiao left, the atmosphere instantly became even more tense.
Ye Yunting gave Lin Fuying a deep look and finally squeezed out a phrase through clenched teeth.
"Let’s return to the Prince Residence first!"
No matter what the truth was, causing a scene in public would only tarnish the reputation of the War King Residence.
Although Bai Wuheng had not conferred beforehand with Lin Fuying, he understood that they must not arouse any suspicion in Ye Yunting toward them.
"Yunting, are you really going to doubt me and Yingying just because of that woman’s words?" he hastily searched for excuses, completely failing to notice that Ye Yunting’s expression was growing increasingly grim.
"Before anything else, the three of us have grown up together. Are you saying that our bond is inferior to that of an outsider?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunting looked over unapologetically, "You better clarify to me, who exactly is the outsider!"
As he uttered these words, not only Bai Wuheng but also Lin Fuying felt a tremor in her heart.
What, after all, did Ye Yunting mean by this?
Could it be that both of them had become outsiders?
Ye Yunting turned his head and instructed Ye Yi, "Go to the palace now and summon an Imperial Physician, and yes, find another doctor from outside who is tight-lipped."
"Ye Yunting, what do you mean by this?"
Bai Wuheng stared intensely at Ye Yunting, trying to detect any hint of joking on his face.
"Do you really think Yingying would lie about something like this?"
"Then you might as well explain to me what exactly is going on, and also about the child."
Ye Yunting threw the things he had brought back harshly onto Bai Wuheng.
He had only now realized that he was being made a fool of.
Indeed, he had been too indulgent with these two people!
"These things must surely be forged by Chu Nanli, she just doesn’t want to recognize the child, hence she did this, you must not be deceived by her!"
"Yes, Yunting brother, how dare Yingying deceive you with such an important matter?"
At this moment, Lin Fuying, who could not afford to consider anything else, only wanted to muddle through first.
Ye Yunting was already enraged by the incident at Xingshan Temple last time.
If this time, Ye Yunting detected her deception again, her fate would be even more dire than before!
"Do you think I would still believe you?"
This time, he wouldn’t easily be fooled by anyone.
"And this child, is it really my descendant or not!"
Ye Yunting, now, was not only angry but also slightly ashamed.
If he had found out about these matters himself, it would have been fine.
But it was regrettable that it came from Chu Nanli’s mouth.
Seeing Chu Nanli appear with Ye Jiuxiao just now, he felt even more that Chu Nanli was using this opportunity to show off in front of him!
"Yunting brother, believe me, how could I possibly deceive you?"
Lin Fuying now, unable to find a good reason for her defense, could only hope to persuade Ye Yunting.
But she did not realize that after the incident at Xingshan Temple, Ye Yunting had already harbored suspicions against her.
In fact, he had not fully believed Lin Fuying’s words earlier.
It had been only due to Chu Nanli’s matters that he had not delved deeper.
Who could have thought, Lin Fuying would dare to deceive him again!
"Get away from me!"
Ye Yunting pushed Lin Fuying away as she rushed towards him, now harboring doubts about her pregnancy, he was naturally no longer as cautious as before.
"Once the doctor arrives, I will find out the truth myself, I trust no one now!"
Being treated this way, Lin Fuying naturally wore a hurt expression on her face.
She was soon helped up by Bai Wuheng, but she was too preoccupied to care about Bai Wuheng’s feelings, focused only on how to clear her own suspicions.
If Ye Yunting truly wouldn’t listen to her defenses, then she might have to shift all the blame onto someone else.
She gripped Bai Wuheng’s arm, her fingers tightening slightly, her intent was abundantly clear.
Bai Wuheng naturally understood her meaning.
