My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage-Chapter 78 - Sister Cant Keep the Prince

Lin Fuying turned her head, seeing people with basins, holding cloths, several of them.

If she hadn’t moved away quickly, she would have almost been bumped into.

Lin Fuying’s temples throbbed, and she wanted to walk away, but she didn’t want to leave without having made Chu Nanli uncomfortable, so she was not willing to let it go.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Fuying saw that Chu Nanli had no intention of entertaining her and found a chair to sit down on her own, feigning indifference.

Yanyan, although shy and simple, was also clever. Knowing that Chu Nanli intended to leave Lin Fuying hanging, she purposely directed the other servants to clean up here and there, dragging out the time.

Chu Nanli picked up a book from the shelf nearby and read, her expression calm and collected, completely ignoring Lin Fuying beside her.

Lin Fuying felt both embarrassed and furious, sitting on pins and needles, yet unwilling to speak first and lose face, so she held back and remained silent.

After a while, Yanyan finally instructed the servants, “Alright, let’s go.”

Hardly had Yanyan and the others left when Lin Fuying eagerly began to speak.

“Sister, why did you anger the Prince again? The Prince didn’t even finish his meal here and just left. Sister, you can’t keep the Prince here, Yingying is really worried for you.”

A scent of tea wafted over, causing Chu Nanli’s brows to furrow.

Lin Fuying stared intently at her expression, yet could not discern any unusual sign, which made her feel disheartened.

This vile woman knows how to keep her composure.

Her mind race, and she spoke again, “Sister, in this Prince Residence, you only have Yingying as a close sister. I’m always thinking to help you with your worries. Tell Yingying what you and the Prince talked about that upset him, maybe Yingying can be of help.”

Chu Nanli finally understood.

The white lotus has come to gather information.

It seemed she had not been successful in becoming an Imperial Attendant and thought it was because Chu Nanli had spoken ill of her to Ye Yunting?

Tsk, she really thinks of Ye Yunting as a prized treasure, assuming everyone wants to vie for him.

“I’m not interested in Ye Yunting, you can keep your little schemes to yourself.”

Lin Fuying’s expression stiffened slightly, pretending not to understand.

“If sister doesn’t want to talk, that’s okay, no worries. Yingying knows that sister cares for the Prince.”

“Just now, Yingying went to see the Prince on sister’s behalf and even apologized for you. The Prince had dinner with Yingying, and his mood improved a lot. Although it’s better, I’m still afraid the Prince might hold a grudge against sister…”

Chu Nanli scoffed.

Unable to gather information, she’s resorting to covertly needling me, but unfortunately, that’s useless against me.

I’m not the original occupant of this body, and I have no affection for Ye Yunting. Just a power-hungry, heartless scoundrel. Why would I covet him?

“It seems Concubine Lin enjoys cleaning up after others.” Chu Nanli glanced at Lin Fuying dismissively.

What… what?

Lin Fuying thought she had misheard. By the time she realized what was said, she almost couldn’t maintain her composure on her face.

With her proud and haughty nature, how could she accept such an “insult”?

“Sister, speaking so… crudely… that’s not very good. Although sister’s origins are not the best, since you married the Prince, the Princess Consort of the War God Residence should no longer speak recklessly as before.”

A hint of mockery flickered in Chu Nanli’s eyes.

Her origins are not the best?

In my former status in Chu Kingdom, Lin Fuying, the daughter of a concubine, wouldn’t even qualify to be my maid.

Furthermore, even without that status from Chu Kingdom, given Lin Fuying’s history of climbing the social ladder, she’s not in a position to criticize before me.

Chu Nanli replied indifferently, “Even if this palace was in a pitiable state before, the Prince took me into his home as his rightful Princess Consort. As for Concubine Lin, weren’t you one of the unloved concubine-born daughters of the Prime Minister Residence at that time?”

These words struck right at Lin Fuying’s sore spot.

She trembled with rage, her eyes flashing with malice, yet her tone remained gentle, “That’s all in the past.”

“Indeed, Yingying was not favored at home back then, and father even intended to marry me off to a noble’s son with a leg disability for an alliance marriage. The Prince and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts, he pitied Yingying’s plight, and so he sought my hand in marriage from father.”

Chu Nanli sipped her tea calmly, the story aligning with what Nanny had told her.

But surely the white lotus wasn’t here to open up about her own past shortcomings.

I’m curious to see what medicine the white lotus is selling from her gourd.
