My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 452: Frantically Shifting the Blame

Chapter 452: Chapter 452: Frantically Shifting the Blame

"Yun Ting Brother, I, I was also deceived by him; I never expected things would turn out this way."

"If I had known, I most certainly wouldn’t have done it!"

Lin Fuying looked up at Ye Yunting, trying hard to make him believe her excuse.

But Ye Yunting’s face remained expressionless, which somewhat intimidated her.

Fortunately, Ye Yunting didn’t stay silent for too long.

His face was stern as he slowly began, "So you’re saying that all of this has nothing to do with you?"

"Yes, Yun Ting Brother, I didn’t want this either, it’s just that I love you too much, and what I did was not my..."

"Slap—"

Before Lin Fuying could finish her sentence, an extremely angry Ye Yunting slapped her across the face.

"Do you take me for a fool?"

"With each and every incident, if you were unwilling, then why did you still collude with Bai Wuheng?"

Even now, Ye Yunting was still immersed in the anger of being deceived, completely unable to listen to any defense.

The more he thought about how he had been fooled by these two for so long, the more embarrassed and indignant he felt.

Lin Fuying, struck by the sudden slap, was stunned for a moment before realizing what had happened.

She was actually hit by Ye Yunting?

How could he hit her?

She really wanted to hysterically argue back at Ye Yunting, but the last bit of rationality in her heart told her that doing so would only make things worse.

It was clear that Ye Yunting now valued that cheap woman Chu Nanli. All that she had done during this time not only failed to win back Ye Yunting’s heart but also pushed him further away.

If she were reckless and made a scene with Ye Yunting now, she feared she would completely fall out of favor.

"Yun Ting Brother, it’s not like that, I truly just love you too much and am too afraid of losing you, that’s why I did this."

"I have realized my mistake, Yun Ting Brother, can you forgive me just this once, please?"

Lin Fuying crawled to Ye Yunting’s side, continuing to plead with him in this humble attitude.

"Yun Ting Brother, otherwise, I will go and apologize to Sister right now, explain everything to her. She is always understanding, she will certainly be willing to forgive me!"

She was even willing to beg with such abject words just to please Ye Yunting.

No matter how reluctant she was deep inside, on the surface, she still had to appear as though for Ye Yunting, she could cast everything aside.

"You’re simply not worthy of appearing before her!"

Thinking of Chu Nanli’s utterly indifferent demeanor, Ye Yunting felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"I won’t kill you for now, but from now on, don’t expect to have an easy time!"

"Starting today, you stay in the Prince Residence and don’t even think about going anywhere!"

Ye Yunting’s attitude made Lin Fuying’s heart leap with joy.

Compared to what she had done, the punishment Ye Yunting handed down could be said to be lenient.

Could it be that Ye Yunting still harbored feelings for her?

The thought of this possibility made hope surge within Lin Fuying once again.

Maybe she still held a place in Ye Yunting’s heart.

Otherwise, why would Ye Yunting be reluctant to punish her?

Such thoughts in Lin Fuying’s mind were a complete misunderstanding of Ye Yunting.

The reason he wasn’t punishing Lin Fuying right now was entirely because he had other plans in store.

Compared to what he was currently engaged in, dealing with Lin Fuying had become secondary.

"Ye Yi, drive out all the servants from the Concubine Courtyard, only allow her personal attendants to stay!"

With this move, Ye Yunting intended to sever all of Lin Fuying’s contact with the outside world.

Now that he knew Lin Fuying had been deceiving him, naturally, all the preferential treatment she had received because of her supposed pregnancy would be taken back.

The color instantly drained from Lin Fuying’s face upon hearing these words from Ye Yunting.

She could imagine that once the servile people in the Prince Residence heard the news of her fall from grace, they would certainly add insult to injury behind her back.

Her days in the Prince Residence would become even harder!

Even if she wanted to defend herself, Ye Yunting had run out of patience to listen any further.

He was adamant in his stance, no longer willing to entertain Lin Fuying’s words, and sent her rolling back to where she came from.

Once only Ye Yi and he were left, he finally turned to Ye Yi, "How well-prepared are the arrangements that I instructed you to make?"

"Tomorrow, Ye Jiuxiao will leave the capital, and that will be the best opportunity for me to make my move!"

Ye Yi dared not conceal anything, hastily reporting all the preparations made over these days.

But he still couldn’t help but advise with caution, "Prince, are you truly resolved to do this?"

It wasn’t that he found Chu Nanli unworthy, but he hadn’t expected the Prince to act so madly this time.

If he knew this would happen, why hadn’t he cherished the Princess Consort from the beginning?

Even these servants could see that when the Princess Consort first entered the Prince Residence, she held the Prince in the highest regard. Any casual remark or gift from the Prince was treasured like a precious gem by her.

But back then, the Prince failed to see the Princess Consort’s worth.

Only now did he realize what he had lost, filled with regret when it was too late.

"Even you want to meddle in my personal affairs? She was always my woman to begin with; it was my imperial uncle who took her from me, so why can’t I take her back?"

If possible, Ye Yunting now wished he could act directly against Ye Jiuxiao!

After all, it was Ye Jiuxiao who had stolen his woman from him!

"Just carry out the tasks as I have arranged, even if it takes all my resources, I must get her back!"

Seeing Ye Yunting so determined, Ye Yi naturally didn’t dare to persuade him further.

He could only follow Ye Yunting’s commands.

...

Chu Nanli guessed that after she had exposed Lin Fuying’s true face that day, there should be no more trouble from the War King Residence.

Indeed, as she expected, things quieted down quite a bit, and the Prime Minister Residence also began to find peace.

"I tell you, the War King has finally done something good this time. These past few days, my aunt hasn’t been able to contact Lin Fuying and has stopped bringing up the matter of making a wife equal in status. We have you to thank for this time,"

Lin Xuanxuan chattered away at Chu Nanli, only to realize at some point that Chu Nanli had become distracted.

She wasn’t listening to her at all.

Not hearing Lin Xuanxuan’s voice, Chu Nanli looked over, "What did you just say?"

"Really, I said so much, and you didn’t hear a single word, did you?"

"The Prince has only been gone a few days, and you’ve become so absent-minded. He’ll be away for half a month this time, by then, your soul might as well go with him!"

Lin Xuanxuan looked at her smilingly, thinking that Chu Nanli’s current state would probably make Ye Jiuxiao even more smitten if he saw her.

But now, she actually felt that the two of them were becoming more and more suited for each other.

If they could truly join in marriage, it would undoubtedly be a cause for great celebration.
