My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 466: Venting Anger

Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Venting Anger

Ye Yunting returned to the Prince Residence after being upset by Chu Nanli, still feeling some discontent.

He remembered what Chu Nanli had just said and couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Ye Yi who was serving by his side.

"Did I once promise the Princess Consort to visit the capital suburbs for an outing?"

He recalled that he indeed impulsively promised Chu Nanli, but just as he was about to leave, he had been called over by someone attending to Lin Fuying.

However, he did casually instruct a servant to inform Chu Nanli and even sent someone to deliver several pieces of jewelry to her as compensation.

But based on what Chu Nanli had said, there seemed to be more to the story?

Ye Yi of course remembered the incident, but he did not dare to speak directly.

"I need to ask the servants in the residence to know what exactly happened to the Princess Consort that day."

After all, as a guard by the Prince’s side, he wouldn’t inquire about every trivial matter in the residence.

But he did have some knowledge of Chu Nanli’s previous situation at the Prince Residence.

It was just that at that time, Ye Yunting did not value Chu Nanli, so even though Ye Yi subtly mentioned it a few times in secret, it still ended without consequence.

Not to mention that back then, with Lin Fuying constantly applying ointment to Ye Yunting’s eyes, he was even less likely to care about Chu Nanli’s well-being.

Now that Lin Fuying had fallen out of favor, those servants who had helped her no longer continued to hide things for her.

From these servants, Ye Yi found out that on that day, it was Lin Fuying who, using the name of the concubine, directly ordered those servants not to inform Chu Nanli, resulting in her being frozen in the cold wind all day.

These pieces of information were something Ye Yunting had never cared about before, let alone gone out of his way to find out.

Now, upon learning about this past from Ye Yi, the emotions influenced by Chu Nanli instantly redirected his anger onto Lin Fuying.

"This wretched woman, how dare she do such a thing!"

When Ye Yunting rebuked Lin Fuying, he never thought that if it were not for his indulgence, Lin Fuying would not have dared to do so.

But now, Ye Yunting obviously did not consider these points.

He stood up furiously and went straight to the courtyard where Lin Fuying was staying.

In truth, the life Lin Fuying was leading now could really be described as imprisonment.

She was confined here, completely unable to communicate with the outside world, her sole company being just Xiaoyun all day long.

If not for her desire for power and wealth, she would have probably gone crazy by now.

Ye Yunting arrived furiously, kicking open the courtyard door, which gave Lin Fuying, who had been cursing her fate inside, a huge fright.

She looked towards the doorway in a panic, only to be met with Ye Yunting’s angry face.

What’s going on now?

The first thought in Lin Fuying’s mind was whether her previous plotting with Bai Wuheng had been exposed.

But the words that followed from Ye Yunting allowed her to heave a sigh of relief.

"I ask you, did you ever order the servants of the residence to mistreat Nanli?"

Even now, with her true face revealed to Ye Yunting, Lin Fuying still could not simply admit it.

She put on an innocent face, "Yunting, my brother, you’re really wronging me. I, I indeed used to be jealous of my sister, but I have never ordered the servants to mistreat her!"

In fact, the servants of the Prince Residence were all smart people who acted according to their master’s mood.

Lin Fuying never had to speak out directly; as long as they knew that the Princess Consort, Chu Nanli, was not favored, they would naturally rush to bully her, in order to please her, the favored concubine.

So, her words to Ye Yunting were not deception.

She truly hadn’t ordered the servants to do so, had she?

"You think, as of now, I would still believe you?"

Ye Yunting looked at her with contempt on his face; he truly regretted it now.

If he had known it would come to this, he would never have pitied Lin Fuying and allowed her into the War King Residence.

He should have just let her fend for herself!

"I have already questioned those servants, and if it wasn’t for your connivance, how would they dare treat Nanli like that!"

Ye Yunting, having grown up in the palace, was naturally no stranger to such clandestine schemes of the inner court.

"I really misjudged you!"

The intense disgust on his face made Lin Fuying feel both heartbroken and angry.

In her view, it was only now that Ye Yunting regretted it that he had such thoughts.

Otherwise, why did he ignore Chu Nanli’s plight in the first place?

Lin Fuying did want to retort against Ye Yunting, if only he had been a bit nicer to Chu Nanli, she would not have dared to bully Chu Nanli so overtly.

But she knew clearly that a man as obstinate and self-righteous as Ye Yunting would certainly pin all the blame on her at this moment.

If she dared to speak out against him, Ye Yunting’s attitude toward her would likely become even more hostile.

Even though she was resentful, she could only look at Ye Yunting pitifully, hoping that he would soften his heart as he had before.

Unfortunately, Ye Yunting had already seen through her and, having just returned from Chu Nanli’s place already incensed, how could he let her off easily?

"You just wait, once Nanli gives birth to the child, I will definitely bring you before her to atone for your sins!"

Because Lin Fuying was confined here and unable to contact the outside world, Ye Yunting wasn’t worried about the news leaking out.

His words immediately deepened the hatred in Lin Fuying’s eyes.

She just knew that Ye Yunting must have concocted a plan to hide that wench Chu Nanli!

Even though she had guessed as much, Lin Fuying still put on a shocked expression, "Yunting brother, our sister, isn’t she already dead?"

"How could I bear to let her come to harm? Once the coast is clear, I still want her to come back and be the War King’s Princess Consort!"

During this period, Ye Yunting had always guarded this secret closely.

Now that he had already spoken openly before Lin Fuying, he didn’t mind elaborating.

After all, in his eyes, with Lin Fuying being confined in the War King Residence all day, she simply couldn’t do anything, much less pose a threat to Chu Nanli.

At the end of the day, whether in the past or now, Ye Yunting had never treated the women by his side equally.

He had once looked down on Chu Nanli, thinking she was too naive, but now his attitude towards Lin Fuying had drastically changed due to her malice.

"By that time, I will make sure you atone for your sins every single day!"

His cold gaze made Lin Fuying shiver.

But what made Lin Fuying feel even more aggrieved was the humiliation that was yet to come.

How could she possibly be willing to bow her head to Chu Nanli!

Ye Yunting, seeing her pitiful state, felt even more annoyed and did not wish to stay any longer. He turned around and left, not caring at all about Lin Fuying’s plight.
