My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 91 Confrontation

Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Confrontation

She was willing to forgo taking credit for saving a life, but she would not agree to let an enemy who caused her original self’s death claim that credit.

"It turns out that Concubine Lin is also skilled in medicine and healing. When I took care of Concubine Lin, I reminded her daily about the effects of various medicines, but how come back then Concubine Lin couldn’t remember a single one?"

Chu Nanli stepped into the courtyard.

Yanyan was somewhat panicked, yet she quickly followed.

Everyone in the courtyard was taken aback. Lady Wu of the General Residence turned her head to look over and, upon seeing Chu Nanli, her gaze lingered on her light green dress with a slight start.

Chu Nanli gave her a courtesy.

"Princess Consort Chu of the War God Residence pays respects to Lady Wu."

Lin Fuying’s expression changed momentarily, but she quickly regained her composure, and with a tone of grievance, she said, "Sister, with something as serious as saving a life, how could Yingying dare to be negligent? The previous unfamiliarity with those medicines, wasn’t it just to act spoiled in front of sister, so that sister would take extra care of Yingying?"

The tone of her last sentence rose slightly.

Among all those present, only Chu Nanli knew that Lin Fuying was provoking her.

It was then that Ye Yunting’s voice, filled with warning, rang out.

"Chu Nanli, don’t cause trouble."

Even in front of such an important figure as the lady of the General Residence, he was unwilling to give any face to his own Princess Consort.

Chu Nanli ignored him.

If she were to avoid having Lin Fuying steal the credit today, she would have to speak up for herself.

"Lady Wu, there are a few things I don’t understand. Could you spare some time for me to ask Concubine Lin for clarity?"

Regardless of Yunting’s extraordinary status, among those present, since the lady of the General Residence’s young master was saved, it was Lady Wu who held the most authority.

Yunting’s expression chilled, and he said, "Chu Nanli, don’t act crazy here!"

Lady Wu’s gaze flickered slightly.

The rumors outside that the War God displeased his legitimate consort and favored the concubine within the residence seemed to be true.

To her mind, favoring the concubine and disregarding the wife was somewhat confused.

However, if Lin Fuying was indeed the one who saved her son, she would have the gratitude and respect that is due.

Before this, she was more impressed with Chu Nanli’s unyielding spirit.

Gathering her thoughts, Lady Wu said indifferently, "You may."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fuying’s heart skipped a beat.

Both Yunting and Bai Wuheng furrowed their brows, completely puzzled as to why the lady of the General Residence would allow Chu Nanli to act recklessly.

Yunting cast another warning glance at Chu Nanli, but she didn’t meet his eyes at all.

"You say that the General Residence’s young master’s condition was an allergic reaction that led to choking symptoms?"

As Lin Fuying recalled the scene she had witnessed, she nodded, "Yes. Why? Were you at the scene too, sister?"

Before Chu Nanli could answer, Fuying frowned and said, "Since sister was there, why didn’t you come forward to help? Yingying was alone, Dong Yue had gone out to buy things, and Yingying was panicked to death."

Dong Yue, looking at the light green dress on Chu Nanli, had already realized what was going on, her heartbeat pounding like a drum.

Overtaken by Lin Fuying’s question, her heart nearly leapt out of her throat, "Yes, at that time, this servant had gone to buy snacks for the Concubine, and fortunately, the Concubine had learned quite a bit from Young Master Bai and understood medicine. Princess Consort, even if you don’t like our Concubine, the General Residence’s young master is an innocent life—you can’t just stand by and watch him die."

Quite a blame was deftly shifted her way.

Chu Nanli said coldly, "I am speaking with your mistress, shut your mouth."

Dong Yue, intimidated by Chu Nanli’s gaze and already feeling guilty, was so frightened that she did not speak up again.

"Concubine Lin, describe the symptoms of the young master at that time again."

Lin Fuying, unwilling to respond but facing the indifferent gaze of Lady Wu, dared not ignore Chu Nanli and had to speak up with reluctance, "He had a rash on his body, and breathing difficulties."

She hesitated to say more, afraid that more words might lead to more mistakes.

Chu Nanli’s eyes were filled with mockery, it seemed that Lin Fuying hadn’t seen the full process of her saving the person.

"What medicine did you administer?"

"Mysterious Green Pill," the name of the medicine was something she had prepared to claim the credit.

"Yingying has a weak constitution and is allergic to many things. Wuhen gave Yingying some pills prepared for treating allergies."

As she spoke, she looked to Bai Wuheng for support.

Bai Wuheng nodded, firmly taking Lin Fuying’s side.

The Mysterious Green Pill was given by him, so at this moment, he only felt that Chu Nanli had a malicious intention, trying to steal Yingying’s credit.

"What Yingying said is the truth. If the Princess Consort does not believe it, Yingying can show her the medicine," he said.

As he spoke, his glance toward Chu Nanli was filled with disappointment, disdain, and coldness.

Lin Fuying immediately took out a bottle of pills from her sachet.

Bai Wuheng took a look and said, "It is indeed the Mysterious Green Pill."

Then, turning to Lady Wu, he said, "Lady of the General Residence, this pill was personally concocted by me. It is highly effective in treating symptoms of allergies and is also worth a great deal of money. I hope the lady will not be deceived by those with ulterior motives. Yingying has a kind heart and would not stand by when seeing someone in distress."

His words were just short of pointing his finger at Chu Nanli and calling her a "villain."

Yunting also said, "Lady of the General Residence, we’re sorry to have caused you this embarrassment. Yingying is the one who saved the person, and this king will discipline Chu Nanli."

Lady Wu’s gaze deepened as she looked at Chu Nanli, "Princess Consort Chu, do you have anything else to say?"
