My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage

"Are you all right?"

Chu Nanli looked up at Ye Yunting, this man who was so blindly biased and heartlessly blind; he truly didn't deserve the original host's wholehearted devotion.

What do you mean by 'just a fetus'?

What do you mean by 'doesn't see the big picture'?

Seeing the big picture means being willing to sacrifice one's own child for that scheming little lotus?

And furthermore...

"Who told you I was using death as a threat?" Chu Nanli pointed at Nanny Hua, "It was this conniving wretch who deliberately set the fire to burn me to death!"

Ye Yunting's eyebrows knitted together slightly, "Chu Nanli, you fail to threaten and now you dare to lie?"

Lie? Chu Nanli was somewhat surprised. Was this the kind of person the original host was in Ye Yunting's heart after three years of dedicated service at the Prince Residence?

"The truth will come out after an investigation."

Chu Nanli couldn't be bothered to argue with him; who actually started the fire with the firestarter would be known upon investigation.

"Sister, could there be some misunderstanding here..."

Lin Fuying's face was pale as she spoke, "Nanny Hua is my wet nurse, I am well aware of her temperament, she would never do such a thing as murder and arson..."

Chu Nanli ignored her, staring straight at Ye Yunting, "There must also be traces at the scene. Who set the fire will be known if we bring in a coroner to investigate."

"Absolutely not! If word of this gets out, it would tarnish both sister's and the entire Prince Residence's reputation!"

Lin Fuying bit her lip, looking aggrieved as she tugged at Ye Yunting, her eyes pitiful and innocent.

"Prince, I swear on my life that Nanny Hua would never harm my sister. There must be some misunderstanding. Might as well make a big issue small… Besides, perhaps sister was afraid of punishment and became panicked, thinking it was Nanny Hua who set the fire..."

Her seemingly simple words appeared considerate, but in reality, they implied that Chu Nanli herself had started the fire and didn't dare to admit it, even framing a servant for this "wickedness".

As expected, after hearing this, Ye Yunting's expression grew even darker, "This matter ends here!"

Having said this, he turned to leave. Nanny Hua kneeling on the ground looked at Chu Nanli with a sarcastic smile, her face full of a victor's pride.

"Wait, Ye Yunting, are you going to convict me without even investigating?"

Chu Nanli stepped forward to block Ye Yunting, "I am, after all, your Princess Consort. This conniving wretch deliberately set a fire to burn me alive. I demand an explanation today!"

It made no sense for her to be wronged and still carry the blame; moreover, the original host had actually been killed!

Ye Yunting was about to speak with furrowed brows when Lin Fuying, looking woefully wronged, tugged at him.

"Whimper... Prince, since sister is so suspicious of my wet nurse, I have no choice but to die to prove my innocence!"

Saying so, Lin Fuying cried and crashed against a pillar.

"Yingying!"

Ye Yunting pushed Chu Nanli away and rushed towards Lin Fuying, hugging her tightly with great concern, his gaze turning frosty when he looked back at Chu Nanli.

"Chu Nanli! You know full well that Yingying is frail, yet you still provoke her so. You truly deserve to die!"

The strong push sent Chu Nanli crashing to the ground, fresh blood spilling from her mouth once again.

She clenched her teeth, "Ye Yunting, you are truly blind!"

Blind to such lousy acting!

"If Lin Fuying was not guilty, why wouldn't she agree to a direct investigation, instead resorting to tears, tantrums, and threats of suicide?"

"Enough, you still dare to talk back!" Ye Yunting's complexion grew even darker, especially seeing Chu Nanli's defiant and unruly behavior, kindling an inexplicable anger within him.

"Guards! The Princess Consort maliciously started a fire without showing repentance. Administer thirty strokes as punishment!"

Ye Yunting's Hidden Guards were known for their lightning-fast efficiency, not allowing Chu Nanli time to react, quickly restraining her.

Chu Nanli endured a painful beating before managing to take out an invisible riot protection suit from her space.

The riot suit could minimize harm to some extent, but the pain was very real! Added to that was the severe pain in her abdomen from just losing a child, which intensified once more.

"Ye Yunting, I will remember today's humiliation!"
