My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 528: Sudden Encounter

Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Sudden Encounter

Even though Lu Xinyue spoke with utter conviction, Lin Fuying still trusted her own intuition more.

"If the Commandery Princess is willing to believe my words, why not give me a chance to help you see her true colors?" Lin Fuying continued to ingratiate.

"How do I know that you’re not deceiving me with these words?"

In fact, Lu Xinyue was already somewhat tempted at this moment.

She didn’t care about what Chu Nanli’s true colors were, but if she could use the person before her to do something unfavorable to Chu Nanli, that wouldn’t be bad at all.

The worse Chu Nanli’s reputation became, the greater the opportunity Lu Xinyue would have to take advantage when the time was right.

Thinking this, Lu Xinyue’s attitude towards Lin Fuying also changed a bit.

The conversation between the two was full of hidden agendas, and it was uncertain who would come out on top in the end.

And regardless of their original intentions, at least for now, Lin Fuying and Lu Xinyue were conversing quite pleasantly.

"Many things, just by talking about them, will definitely not make them clear."

Lin Fuying said with a smile, looking at Lu Xinyue as if she was certain the other party would agree to cooperate with her.

"The Commandery Princess can give me a few days. In a few days, I will definitely make the Commandery Princess see her true intentions," she said.

She didn’t press the matter any further, planning to send Lu Xinyue away after saying these words.

Instead, it was Lu Xinyue who became slightly interested by her words, and given her status, she found it beneath her to directly question her.

But she thought to herself, since Lin Fuying had already approached her twice, she must be impatient to make a move against Chu Nanli.

All she needed to do was wait.

"Let me tell you, whatever you do, it has nothing to do with me!"

Lu Xinyue looked up and glanced at her before walking out ahead.

Her attitude did not discourage Lin Fuying.

At least today, she had seen Lu Xinyue’s indecisiveness.

To make her an ally was just a matter of time.

What Lin Fuying didn’t expect was that, as she was about to send Lu Xinyue off, they unexpectedly ran into two other people.

The ones approaching were none other than Chu Nanli and Lin Xuanxuan.

Seeing these two together, Lin Xuanxuan couldn’t help furrowing her brow: "Why are they together?"

Could it be they were scheming something again?

The most unsettled at the moment was naturally Lu Xinyue.

She hurriedly took a few steps to distance herself from Lin Fuying and then pretended as if nothing had happened while speaking to Chu Nanli.

"What a coincidence, how come you are also here?"

"I’d like to ask the same," Lin Xuanxuan’s gaze fell on Lin Fuying, "Hasn’t the Commandery Princess just arrived in the capital? Since when did she become so familiar with my sister?"

Lu Xinyue had intended to pretend nothing had happened, but Lin Xuanxuan’s direct pointing out made it hard for her to continue playing dumb.

"I have already said, I’m not interested in anything you have to say!"

She glared at Lin Fuying, not hiding the disgust on her face.

As if she had been entangled by Lin Fuying, which forced her to be there unwillingly.

Little did she know, her efforts to distance herself only made it easier for others to sense that something was amiss.

At least now, Lin Xuanxuan was looking at her with eyes full of suspicion.

"Nanli and I are good friends. For no reason, you come to me to speak ill of her, what exactly is your motive?"

Having said that, before Lin Fuying could retort, Lu Xinyue had already continued speaking.

"What, do you not want to admit it?"

She raised her eyebrows at Lin Fuying, the threat in her eyes was quite apparent.

Anyway, she prided herself on her noble status and was not afraid of Lin Fuying exposing her.

Of course, even if Lin Fuying made wild accusations, she was not at all worried.

In the two meetings they had, she hadn’t promised Lin Fuying anything, at most listened to some nonsensical talk.

Even if Chu Nanli had her suspicions, she could find a way to smooth things over.

Thinking of her purpose for coming here, Lin Fuying ground her teeth, which finally quelled the resentment in her heart.

Someday, she would make all those who had humiliated her pay!

The title of Commandery Princess didn’t mean anything to Lu Xinyue, when she would become the Princess Consort to the War King, or even the most noble empress, nothing these people said would matter!

"I just wanted to say a few words to the Commandery Princess, why must you speak of me in such a manner?"

In order not to expose her schemes, even if she didn’t want to, Lin Fuying had no choice but to start pretending.

"Furthermore, I didn’t say anything to the Commandery Princess, why must you be like this in front of others..."

"Enough, do you think I don’t remember what you’ve done before? I’m telling you, if I find out you’re speaking ill of Nanli again, don’t blame me for not being polite!"

Lin Xuanxuan couldn’t be bothered to watch the two of them play-acting and directly interrupted Lin Fuying.

The words Lin Fuying hadn’t finished were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

Seeing that more and more people were looking over, Lin Fuying, despite being unwilling, had to leave first.

After she left, Lu Xinyue seemed to be unaffected, continuing to smile as she held Chu Nanli’s hand, unable to resist complaining to her.

"You don’t know how annoying she is, always speaking ill of you in front of me."

"Although I’ve only just returned to the capital, I can still discern the good and bad of people. I don’t believe a single word she says!"

Lin Xuanxuan, standing nearby, was almost unable to keep her expression steady upon hearing such self-righteous words.

Chu Nanli still appeared completely oblivious, even managing to smile and respond to Lu Xinyue’s words.

Not until Lu Xinyue had also left did Lin Xuanxuan let out the words she had been holding back, speaking with heavy earnestness.

"Neither of them are good, now that they’ve come together, who knows what kind of conspiracy they’re plotting!"

After thinking for a moment, she lowered her voice and said, "And I’ve told you before, that Lu Xinyue is no good person, her getting close to you must have an ulterior motive!"

All this time, she had been anxious watching Chu Nanli and Lu Xinyue grow closer.

Chu Nanli nodded calmly, "I know."

"She may be a Commandery Princess, but her status... wait, what did you say?"

Lin Xuanxuan looked over in sudden realization, seemingly unable to believe what she had just heard.

"Are you saying, you knew from the start that she had another purpose in befriending you?"

"Indeed, I guessed as much from the beginning, but, I was playing along on purpose," Chu Nanli winked at her, "haven’t you noticed that we’ve acquired quite a bit more silver lately?"

She had never intended to keep it a secret from Lin Xuanxuan; her previous silence was only because she worried that Lin Xuanxuan was too frank and wouldn’t be able to pretend in front of Lu Xinyue.

After interacting with her, Chu Nanli had come to realize that Lu Xinyue was even more arrogant than she had thought.

Even if Lin Xuanxuan slipped up in front of her, Lu Xinyue probably wouldn’t take it seriously.

Lin Xuanxuan was not foolish, and with this hint, she instantly understood Chu Nanli’s plan.

"So, you’ve been acting with her all along?"
