Chapter 55 -55: The Herbs Were Stolen

Originally, on her way to the War God Residence, Chu Nanli had been thinking about how she could test Ye Yunting on why he didn’t recognize their child.

However, looking at the situation now, she feared that questioning the man might only drive him further into madness.

Chu Nanli returned to the courtyard with a grim face, and Yanyan looked at her nervously.

“Princess Consort, are you alright?”

While speaking, her gaze uncontrollably swept over her.

A warm stream crossed Chu Nanli’s heart, and her complexion gradually improved as she said, “I’m fine. Don’t worry, your Princess Consort wasn’t beaten.”

Upon having her thoughts exposed, Yanyan felt somewhat uneasy.

Chu Nanli didn’t mind and called the two maidservants who had massaged her legs before, instructing, “Give me another massage.”

Angered by that dog of a man, she felt even more deserving of indulgence.

The maidservants hurriedly complied, and seeing this, Yanyan wisely went to wash some fruits and prepare scented tea.

Chu Nanli lazily leaned back in the chair, her mood finally starting to recover to some extent.

sunlight spilled into the courtyard, an image of peaceful times.

But this peace was shattered in the afternoon.

Chu Yi came in haste, explaining the purpose of his visit.

“Master, there’s a large auction in the Capital City this afternoon. After learning of it, I rushed there immediately and saw the medicinal herb Su Lanling that you need, so I quickly bid for it, but it was snatched away by someone with a VIP identity token.”

“The buyer who snatched the herb had the Auction House staff inform me to come to their private room for a transaction. Knowing the herb’s value and not wanting to delay your matter, I asked the Auction House staff to stall for time, and then I rushed to notify you.”

Su Lanling was an herb not easily found; its efficacy in preserving the fetus was excellent, with no easy substitutes available.

Upon hearing this, Chu Nanli couldn’t stay put any longer. She scanned the room, wanting to call Yanyan to go with her but didn’t see her, then she remembered Yanyan was preparing her fetus-preserving medicine.

Due to the urgency, she didn’t delay any further.

“Let’s go now.”

The master and servant left the War God Residence in a hurry to rush to the Auction House.

Chu Yi was reliable in his tasks, having specially rented a carriage to pick them up.

The carriage was fast, and it didn’t take long to arrive at the destination.

The auction had yet to end. Chu Yi led Chu Nanli inside, hurrying towards the private room. He whispered, “The other party is in the Sky Number private room. Those who can enter the Sky Number are either rich or noble, and there are no more than ten people in the entire Xia Kingdom with such status.”

Hearing this, Chu Nanli felt the situation was thorny.

If the opponent could snatch away the medicinal herb she had bid on, they were clearly neither reasonable nor easy to deal with. Moreover, they might even recognize her, the unfavored “Princess Consort of the War God Residence.” She pondered whether she could leverage Ye Yunting’s name somehow…

While thinking so, she was suddenly reminded by Chu Yi, “Master, they are coming out.”

The next instant, Chu Yi’s expression changed.

Chu Nanli looked up just in time to see a striking couple coming out of the nearby private room.

The man was tall with a chilling gaze, his presence alone commanding respect without anger.

The woman was petite, prettily clinging to the man, seemingly boneless as she nestled in his embrace.

Chu Nanli’s expression cooled.

It was that pair of despicable lovers!

“Are you sure it’s the people from that private room?”

Hearing the murderous undertone in her voice, Chu Yi internally regretted not handling things better: “Yes, the War God is holding a box that contains Su Lanling.”

Chu Nanli cursed her luck silently and strode forward.

“Oh, sister. What brings you here?”

Lin Fuying, with her sharp eyes, was the first to spot Chu Nanli.

Then, after a cursory glance at Chu Yi, she casually said, “Sister has come to browse the Auction House with her newly acquired bodyguard? But it seems Yanyan isn’t with you.”
