My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 514 The Situation That Night

Chapter 514: Chapter 514 The Situation That Night

"It was because Consort Mother said she wasn’t feeling well that I came to the palace," Yunting brother, I originally wanted to send someone to inform you first, but then I was worried about Consort Mother, so I decided to come to the palace directly."

Lin Fuying could sense that Ye Yunting’s mood today was even worse than usual.

All she could do was to try her best to act submissive and avoid angering Ye Yunting at this time.

"Consort Mother’s health is troubling her again?"

Ye Yunting furrowed his brow but didn’t let his mind wander to other possibilities, thinking instead that Yang Shu, the consort, was feigning illness to get him to come to the palace.

Recently, he had indeed been intentionally cold to Yang Shu, hoping to give her a reality check.

Over the years, Yang Shu and the Yang Family’s ambitions had only grown bigger and bigger.

He certainly did not want to be held back by his own mother when the time came.

"Actually, it’s nothing serious, Consort Mother knows Yunting brother is busy and doesn’t want to disturb you. Consort Mother said that with me often serving at her side in the palace, Yunting brother doesn’t need to come too often."

Lin Fuying cautiously glanced at Ye Yunting, and seeing that he hadn’t become suspicious of her words, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The calculating things she and Yang Shu were doing behind the scenes must never be known to Ye Yunting.

Lin Fuying was well aware of Ye Yunting’s personality; if he found out that she had been helping Yang Shu plan his marriage affairs, he would likely wish he could kill her on the spot!

After all, Yang Shu and he were mother and son by birth.

Just as Yang Shu had said before, no matter how far she went, Ye Yunting would not completely turn against her.

But Lin Fuying was different.

Ever since her true nature had been exposed in front of Ye Yunting, Lin Fuying had been extremely cautious around him, fearing that he would dredge up past grievances against her.

If she had known this would happen, she would have chosen not to pick Ye Yunting at the beginning.

Choosing someone else might have led to a better situation for her by now.

"Consort Mother has the Imperial Physician to look after her in the palace; if you wish to go, then that is alright."

It suited him fine, for Ye Yunting didn’t really want to see Lin Fuying.

Due to the existence of Prime Minister Lin, he hadn’t yet been able to hold Lin Fuying accountable for her life.

And since Chu Nanli had been refusing to forgive him, he hadn’t been able to find the time to deal with Lin Fuying.

But that didn’t mean that he could pretend Lin Fuying’s past misdeeds had never happened.

Seeing her only made Ye Yunting think of Chu Nanli’s indifference and made him even more gloomy.

After giving these instructions, he lost interest in looking at Lin Fuying and directly walked toward his study.

Being treated like this in public by Ye Yunting was not a new experience for Lin Fuying.

But she still felt uncomfortable.

The looks from the servants around her seemed to mock her.

Mocking her downfall and discomfiture.

"What are you looking at? No matter what, I am still the War King Residence’s concubine, not someone you servants can compare with!" Lin Fuying snapped irritably at a maid nearby; had it been in her own courtyard, she would have ordered her punished long ago.

That passing maid was utterly innocent; she hadn’t meant to mock Lin Fuying at all.

But what could she do since Lin Fuying was the master, born naturally more noble than these servants?

Ye Yunting didn’t care about Lin Fuying’s attitude towards the servants. He had hurried back so urgently because the investigation he had asked Ye Yi to conduct had yielded results.

"That night, was Ye Jiuxiao really at Xingshan Temple?"

After learning this information, Ye Yunting’s face grew even darker, as if water could drip from it.

If that were true, could the child be of Ye Jiuxiao’s bloodline?

And was it because Chu Nanli knew about this that she had been so resolute?

The possibility had barely surfaced before Ye Yunting pushed it back down.

He absolutely refused to believe such a possibility!

The child of Chu Nanli would only be his.

"The Regent King’s side is also sending people to look for herbs that counteract that medicinal material, it seems that something really did happen that night."

Ye Yi did not dare to treat the tasks assigned by Ye Yunting with negligence.

After investigating everything thoroughly, he immediately reported back to Ye Yunting.

He was so detailed in his report, in actuality, he was hoping his master could become more clear-headed.

No longer to make futile efforts.

"Prince, perhaps..."

"Shut your mouth!"

Ye Yi had only begun to speak when he was hastily interrupted by Ye Yunting.

In his urgency, there was also a hint of undiscernible panic.

Ye Yunting now was entirely in denial of that possible reality.

It seemed as if by acknowledging it, he and Chu Nanli would have no chance at all.

"The thing this Prince wants found, it must be obtained within three months!"

"If it cannot be found, you need not stay by this Prince’s side to serve any longer!"

Ye Yunting was convinced that as long as he could recover his memories of that night, he would be able to defeat Ye Jiuxiao.

After all, it was he who had met Chu Nanli first, what right did Ye Jiuxiao have to compete with him?

Seeing that Ye Yunting’s face was already showing signs of madness, Ye Yi knew it was not his place to say more.

In any case, when Ye Yunting made a decision, no one could change it.

Ye Yi only hoped that his lord would retain his rationality and not descend into madness because of it.

...

Although she had agreed to Concubine Yang Shu, Lin Fuying truly hadn’t figured out how to forge a good relationship with Lu Xinyue.

But she had people inquire in secret, Lu Xinyue, having been in the capital for so long, rarely interacted with others, spending most of her time with Chu Nanli and Lin Xuanxuan.

If she showed up in front of those two wretched women, they would definitely speak ill of her.

Then, before she even had the chance to become friends with Lu Xinyue, she would already be despised by her.

"Chu Nanli really has good fortune. Even someone as difficult as Lu Xinyue holds her in high regard; who knows how much she had to flatter Lu Xinyue!"

During this period, Lin Fuying had not seen Chu Nanli, but just the thought of her stirred intense hatred within her.

If she had known this would happen, she should have dealt with Chu Nanli from the beginning!

If she had acted sooner, perhaps she might already be the War King’s Princess Consort by now, and wouldn’t need to scheme so much with Concubine Yang Shu!

Xiaoyun couldn’t help but chime in from the side, "Exactly, this servant heard that they took the Commandery Princess to plenty of nice places. They surely must have spent no small amount of silver during this time!"

The matter of Lu Xinyue using silver for "investment" certainly wouldn’t be widely publicized by Chu Nanli.

Whatever rumors were circulating outside, she naturally couldn’t control.

Through this back and forth, it turned into what Xiaoyun had gleaned.

Lin Fuying sneered, "I want to see how much silver she still has to ingratiate herself with others!"

When Chu Nanli first arrived in the capital, she indeed had many valuable things.

Nevertheless, Lin Fuying had coaxed her into trading those items for silver, which ultimately ended up in her own pockets.

When Chu Nanli left the Prince Residence, she didn’t have much money on her.

With time passing, she must have used quite a bit.

Perhaps she will be facing harsh winds someday soon!
