My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage

Nanny Hua really did have quite a stash. While Chu Nanli was sorting through it, she discovered items that her predecessor had once given away as rewards, and once again felt it was not worth it on behalf of the original.

To be on the safe side, she put the ten thousand taels of gold that Ye Yunting had returned into her space, and casually "visited" the half-dead Nanny Hua before planning to go out.

Today's events made her deeply realize that in this society dominated by royal power, and being in such a position where she relied on others, going it alone just wouldn't do.

The original had an identity token given by her mother, which could be used to contact people to serve her in critical times.

Glancing at her clothes, Chu Nanli decided to change into casual attire to go out, which would also make it easier to get things done. Only when she opened the wardrobe, did she realize that the Princess Consort of the War God Residence had only outdated, old-fashioned clothes that were not worth much money.

It truly was a case of "spending money on others, but keeping the grievances for oneself."

With a sigh, Chu Nanli managed to find a green gossamer long skirt to change into, and loosely tied her blue-black hair up behind her head. Simple yet graceful, she resembled a high-mountain Snow Lotus, elegant and demure.

"This face is still too striking..."

Chu Nanli examined the person with a delicate nose and cherry lips in the mirror and picked out a veil to wear, finally feeling satisfied.

"Princess Consort, are you going out?"

The steward came in with a string of servants and saw Chu Nanli who was ready to go out, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

Is this... the Princess Consort?

How long has it been since they had seen the Princess Consort looking so radiant?

"What is it?"

Chu Nanli swept a faint glance.

The steward snapped back to reality, feeling as if that glance had seen through to his heart, revealing all his little schemes, though he quickly dismissed it as his eyes playing tricks on him.

"The situation is like this, Princess Consort, Nanny Hua's people have all been sent over to you, and from now on they will be at your command. Do you have any instructions for them?"

Chu Nanli, in a hurry to leave, said offhandedly, "Just see to their arrangements yourself."

With that, she hurriedly departed.

As soon as she left, everyone in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly looking lazy and relaxed. Some even started to grin and jest with the steward.

"Steward Wang, the Princess Consort doesn't bother with matters, so all of us still rely on your arrangements."

A group of people around him echoed repeatedly, making Steward Wang feel elated.

Pretending to have a light cough, Steward Wang said, "Since the Princess Consort doesn't have any special instructions, you all should just carry on with your work."

"Steward Wang is wise!"

After leaving the Prince Residence, Chu Nanli headed straight for Tianji Pavilion.

Tianji Pavilion was known to everyone on this continent. It appeared suddenly ten years ago, first established a foothold in Xia Kingdom, and then rapidly expanded to all nations, spreading across the land. It was said that there was no information they could not find.

The identity of the master of Tianji Pavilion was even more mysterious; no one had ever seen him in person, but there were many rumors about him.

The most widely circulated version concerning his identity suggested that the master was over fifty years old. Thus, he must have been able to accumulate enough power, courage, connections, and skills to establish Tianji Pavilion and make it a formidable force throughout the continent.

Chu Nanli was also curious about such a person. If there were a chance to meet the master of Tianji Pavilion in the future, they might even become close, regardless of the age difference.

However, her pressing need was to buy information from Tianji Pavilion.

"Miss, what kind of information do you need? Of the past, present, or future?"

As soon as she entered, the shop assistant greeted her with a beaming smile, a level of service that even surpassed that of the year 2090.

"What do you mean by information of the future?" Chu Nanli asked curiously.

"Ah, information about the future, for instance, if you ask when Zhang San will die, we will predict it based on his status, personal history, and his intended actions. Of course, this information doesn't come with an absolute guarantee of accuracy. Since we at Tianji Pavilion started this service, we have only about an eighty percent accuracy rate."

Chu Nanli was taken aback.

An eighty percent accuracy rate...

Could she say this shop assistant was boasting extravagantly?

"I need to look into an identity token." Chu Nanli took out her own waist token and showed it to the shop assistant.

The shop assistant said, "I've never seen this token before, miss. Let me refer you to our shopkeeper."

"Thank you."

Chu Nanli was led to a private room upstairs for distinguished guests, where the shopkeeper held the token in his hands, examining it carefully, his expression grave.

"This token you have here, its craftsmanship is exquisite and contains mysteries. I have never seen one like it before. Are you looking to find its origin, or..."

"I just need to find the people who have the same type of token. Just contact me once you find something."

The shopkeeper returned the token respectfully and said, "We will take on this commission, but it will take some time."

Chu Nanli said, "No problem."

The original had run away from Chu Kingdom, and the situation there was still unknown; she definitely couldn't openly say she was the daughter of a general from Chu Kingdom, nor could she reveal her mother's identity to avoid additional trouble.

This token was given secretly by her mother. The existence of identical tokens must be extremely secretive, and she didn't expect to find out immediately.

"A deposit of one hundred taels is required, and if we find the clue you are looking for, there will be a corresponding transaction fee based on the importance of the information."

Chu Nanli nodded and said, "No problem."

After paying the deposit, Chu Nanli left Tianji Pavilion.

The shopkeeper saw her off, but when he returned to the private room, he was taken aback.
