My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 462: Yanyan’s Plan

Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Yanyan’s Plan

"What have you done, aren’t you perfectly aware of it yourself?"

Ye Jiuxiao didn’t want to say much to him and directly pulled out a guard’s saber, chopping it onto the table beside Ye Yunting.

Amidst the flying wood shavings, Ye Yunting could distinctly feel the murderous intent emanating from him.

Ye Jiuxiao truly wanted to kill him!

Even if Ye Yunting tried to appear calm, facing such a force, he had shown cowardice from the start.

Realizing his own fear, Ye Yunting felt even more infuriated and embarrassed.

He had always been proud and arrogant, so this fear was undoubtedly extremely embarrassing for him.

But no matter how crazed and furious he felt inside, Ye Yunting still tried hard to maintain an appearance of nonchalance.

"What are you doing, uncle? Barging into my War King Residence unprovoked and now confronting me with weapons, do you really intend to kill your nephew?"

The expression on Ye Yunting’s face remained calm, but his tone was already filled with uncontrollable anger.

Though only people from the War King Residence were witnessing this scene, there was no guarantee that the event wouldn’t get out.

If it did get out, and people outside learned that Ye Jiuxiao was threatening him so openly, and he couldn’t even resist, how would they view him?

Perhaps they would think that Ye Yunting was just a weak and incompetent man, and it might even affect his reputation adversely.

"Do you think I don’t dare to lay a hand on you?"

Ye Jiuxiao still held the knife in his hand, and though the tip wasn’t pointing directly at him, the murderous intent was clearly visible.

If it weren’t for the Empress Dowager, Ye Jiuxiao would have already tied him up and tortured him severely.

Returning to the capital, he might have had other suspicions, but now seeing Ye Yunting’s behavior, his initial doubts had escalated to full certainty.

Chu Nanli was definitely abducted by him.

"I came here just to tell you, since you have already divorced Lili, stop deluding yourself!"

"I remember everything you’ve done, and I will settle the accounts with you one by one in due time!"

Ye Jiuxiao didn’t feel that he could get anything out of Ye Yunting.

He came here today merely to confirm his suspicions.

Now that he was certain Ye Yunting was responsible, all he needed to do was to continue investigating Yunting, and he would definitely find out Chu Nanli’s whereabouts.

"Madness, this is sheer madness!"

Only after Ye Jiuxiao left did Ye Yunting finally breathe a sigh of relief and slumped into the chair.

The humiliation of being threatened like that was something he would struggle to forget in this lifetime!

Unfortunately, he was not yet in a position to retaliate against Ye Yunting.

"Has the news on that side been completely sealed off?"

Ye Yunting turned to Ye Yi, lowering his voice to continue.

"Are you certain no one can find that place?"

"Subordinate has already arranged everything according to your orders, setting up several deceptive tricks, all is well prepared," replied Ye Yi.

Ye Yi naturally wouldn’t dare to ignore the commands of Ye Yunting.

Even though he had many concerns about Ye Yunting’s arrangements, he still had to execute everything perfectly.

"With Ye Jiuxiao watching, this king can’t go there today; have someone send some entertaining trinkets there."

These past few days, Ye Yunting had almost visited Chu Nanli daily.

Even if every time he met her, Chu Nanli would mock and ridicule him, he still wasn’t willing to give up easily.

However, today, he knew without thinking that Ye Jiuxiao would definitely keep a close eye on him. Any rash action would only expose himself.

Ye Yunting always had this inexplicable confidence, believing that as long as he was willing to lower his head, Chu Nanli would definitely put aside the past and choose him again.

Little did he know, Chu Nanli had grown increasingly annoyed with him during this time.

For the sake of the child in her womb, she needed to maintain a calm mood every day. Yet, each time she saw Ye Yunting’s face, she was reminded of his disgraceful actions, which further spoiled her mood.

"Master, this servant went to check again today. The walls of the courtyard have all been reinforced by people; there is simply no chance to get out."

Yanyan had not given up on gathering information from those old maidservants over these past few days.

Unfortunately, those maidservants had been intimidated by someone sent by Ye Yunting long ago, and their families were secretly imprisoned by people sent by Ye Yunting.

For the safety of their families, they naturally dared not say anything.

"Then what about the messages? Can’t they be sent out either?"

Chu Nanli, now, had no idea where she was.

However, based on the information obtained that night, she should still be somewhere near the capital.

And it must be a very secluded and hidden place.

In her mind, she had gone through the map of the surrounding area and already had several guesses.

Unfortunately, now, she had no way to contact the outside world, so naturally, she could not send out any messages.

"This servant has seen it all; everything is delivered by different people wearing masks, not allowing this servant to get close."

When Yanyan spoke of these matters, she was even more dismayed.

Having been brought here with Chu Nanli, she had already become a burden to her master. Now, the fact that she couldn’t find out even a tiny piece of information made her feel even more useless.

"It’s alright, it’s not your fault."

Chu Nanli couldn’t help but raise her hand to touch her head, continuing to console her.

"Since he dared to bring me here and hide me away, he must have made full preparations beforehand. It’s understandable that messages can’t be sent out. Why blame yourself?"

"But if it weren’t for this servant, you wouldn’t have so many constraints."

Yanyan had woken up that day and had already learned about the course of events from Chu Nanli.

Although Chu Nanli had not explicitly said it, Yanyan could guess that her master had been abducted that night because of her burden.

If she hadn’t insisted on staying up to watch over her master that night, perhaps she wouldn’t have implicated her master.

"Enough, enough. If you keep blaming yourself, you will end up making yourself sick."

"If you fall ill, I definitely won’t be able to take care of myself properly."

Currently, in this place, the only person she could trust was Yanyan.

Although those old maidservants were sent by Ye Yunting, who knows if they were loyal or traitors?

Especially Ye Yunting himself.

He could use Yanyan to threaten her, and there’s no guarantee he wouldn’t use the child she was going to have to continue his threats.

If she couldn’t escape from here before giving birth, leaving would likely become even more difficult.

"This servant will definitely take good care of you and the young master. If there is any situation, this servant will make sure to shield you first!"

Yanyan had already made a secret plan in her heart that if someone threatened Chu Nanli again using her, she would choose to take her own life.

Maybe then, without her as a burden, her master might have a chance to escape.

This thought, Yanyan dared not let Chu Nanli know.

She could only silently gather courage in her heart.
