Chapter 489: Chapter 489 Still Not Giving Up

"What did you say?"

Auntie Li was shocked by Lin Fuying’s words and quickly grabbed her shoulders to continue questioning.

"You’ve been married to the Prince Residence for a full year, and he still hasn’t touched you. Is the Prince impotent?"

Previously, she had indeed not heard any rumors about Ye Yunting frequenting the flower districts.

At that time, Auntie Li was quite pleased with herself, believing that it must have been due to her daughter’s clever maneuvers that she had captured Ye Yunting’s heart.

Now it seemed that Ye Yunting was clearly impotent!

"What are you thinking about? If he were impotent, how would he be able to..."

Lin Fuying started to say something but quickly swallowed the rest of her sentence.

The fact that Chu Nanli was carrying Ye Yunting’s child was something she would never reveal on her own initiative.

Let everyone outside think that it was a bastard child, then!

"In any case, it’s not an issue with Brother Yunting’s health. If he doesn’t wish to touch me, what can I do?"

Speaking of this matter, Lin Fuying too felt somewhat ashamed.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about consummating her marriage with Ye Yunting, but how could she when he resists even the slightest contact with her every day? She had no way of making her dreams come true.

"Don’t you know any tricks? Even if you don’t drug him, there must be other schemes you can use!"

Auntie Li tapped Lin Fuying’s head fiercely, as if trying to knock some sense into her.

She didn’t feel there was anything improper about teaching her daughter to use such despicable tactics.

And under such tutelage, how could Lin Fuying not end up being twisted?

"That’s enough, I know all this. But I just haven’t found the right opportunity yet, have I?"

Lin Fuying waved her hands impatiently. She indeed had thought about drugging Ye Yunting directly.

But Yunting was no fool. The last time she plotted against Yunting, she only used a drug that could put him to sleep, and then disguised the scene before he awoke, to successfully make Yunting misunderstand.

If she used that kind of drug directly, she wouldn’t stand a chance.

But now, since Yunting no longer trusted her, she naturally couldn’t resort to those methods anymore.

"You’d better think about how to convince father on that side."

In fact, the sudden suggestion of divorce from the Prime Minister’s wife was not entirely disadvantageous for the mother and daughter.

Though they would be scorned for a while, once this had passed, they could directly have Prime Minister Lin elevate Auntie Li to the position of the official wife. With their son as a pretext, Prime Minister Lin would surely agree.

That way, they wouldn’t be overshadowed by the Prime Minister’s wife.

"Alright, I’m going back now. Remember to comfort father a bit, and don’t let outsiders lure him away."

Prime Minister Lin was only in his forties this year, which wasn’t very old for a man. It was possible that someone in the capital would want to cling to him, trying to bind him with marriage.

What if Prime Minister Lin was indeed persuaded by someone?

Auntie Li’s background had no advantages to speak of.

She was originally sold into the Prime Minister Residence by her family, and although they had taken back the Indenture of Servitude, everyone in the Prime Minister Residence knew about her past.

Even if she wanted to cover it up, she couldn’t change this fact.

The mother and daughter had schemed for so many years; they didn’t want to be outmaneuvered by others!

...

The matter of Prime Minister Lin’s divorce was neither big nor small.

It stirred up a commotion for a while but was soon overshadowed by other topics.

Although Prime Minister Lin was nominally his father-in-law, Ye Yunting did not care in the slightest about the affairs of the Prime Minister Residence.

He hadn’t even inquired about it.

During this period, the more he thought about it, the less reconciled he felt.

Despite Ye Jiuxiao’s foolproof protection, he could hardly see Chu Nanli, let alone persuade her to have a change of heart as he had imagined.

But he never gave up.

Since he couldn’t meet her in person, he tried every means to message Chu Nanli and kept recalling the good times they had shared at the War King Residence.

Ye Jiuxiao did not let anyone intercept these letters; he handed them over to Chu Nanli quite openly.

He was not uncurious about their contents, but he chose to do this out of full respect for Chu Nanli.

"Doesn’t he find it troublesome?"

Upon seeing these things, Chu Nanli did not show the moved expression Ye Yunting had anticipated. Instead, she looked disdainful.

Picking up a letter at random, she skimmed through its contents, and her expression became even more indescribable.

"What’s wrong?"

Ye Jiuxiao watched her without any change of expression, all the while guessing the contents of those letters.

"Nothing much, I just find it rather laughable."

Although Ye Jiuxiao still wore a poker face, Chu Nanli could sense a trace of concern coming from him.

She didn’t mind sharing the contents of the letters with Ye Jiuxiao, but seeing his demeanor at that moment, she couldn’t help but feel a bit of malicious pleasure at heart.

"Are you so confident, then? Aren’t you afraid that after reading his messages, I might truly be swayed by his words?"

Chu Nanli looked at Ye Jiuxiao seriously, her expression not at all joking.

"It’s naturally because I trust you," was Ye Jiuxiao’s reply, likewise without a hint of jest.

Chu Nanli was the one who had started the topic, yet she soon started to feel a little embarrassed.

During this time, Ye Jiuxiao’s tactics had indeed become increasingly difficult to resist.

"It’s actually nothing significant. He merely wanted to reminisce with me about the past," Chu Nanli said with a mocking smile playing on her lips, but it was because of the original host.

Ye Yunting, in these letters, wrote with profound affection, sharing memories of the early days when she first entered the Prince Residence.

More accurately, they were the original host’s memories with him.

When the original host first married into the War King Residence, she and Ye Yunting indeed had a harmonious time together.

But had Ye Yunting forgotten? That period lasted only a few short days.

After that, he plunged the original host into an endless abyss.

"I really don’t know where he got the nerve to write such nauseating words," Chu Nanli could not help but get goosebumps just by looking at the content of the letter.

"It’s truly disgusting!"

In front of Ye Jiuxiao, she never concealed her aversion to Ye Yunting.

She would speak her mind directly, without consideration for any circumstances.

The relationship between her and Ye Jiuxiao was built on a foundation of absolute equality.

Ye Jiuxiao was truly ten thousand times better than Ye Yunting.

"If you dislike it, then there’s no need to force yourself to read on," Ye Jiuxiao said as he took the items from her hand and casually tossed them into the nearby charcoal basin, watching as the stack of papers turned to ash.

Chu Nanli showed no regret whatsoever.

Regardless of how much anguish and remorse Ye Yunting felt, the original host he had hurt could not come back.

If he truly wanted to repent, he might as well go and speak directly to the original host.
