Chapter 53: Chapter 53 A Night of Blazing Firewood Chapter 53: Chapter 53 A Night of Blazing Firewood Chu Nanli contemplated that she could refine so poison pills and feed them to Nanny Hua in advance when she needed her to do things for her in the future.
With the deterrent power of the poison pills, Nanny Hua would not dare to play any small tricks so easily.
“This plan is feasible.”
Chu Nanli imdiately compiled a prescription and found that she was missing a few herbs which were not in her space and also not on the list she gave to Chu Yi, it looked like she would have to spend money to buy them.
Chu Nanli went to count her money bags and to her surprise, found that she had spent more than half of it with all the back and forth these days.
“Sigh, I still need to earn more money, there are many more expenses to co.”
Besides the managent of the Bright Moon Building, the Breeding Box also burned money, and there was another one in her belly; she had to have enough capital to survive before showing her pregnancy and leave the Prince Residence.
Otherwise, by the ti she was pregnant and seen by Ye Yunting, with his mad-dog temperant, he might say the child belonged to another man and would likely take a sword to her belly and kill the child himself.
Thinking of this, Chu Nanli couldn’t help thinking of what Nanny Hua had just ntioned about the un-consummated marriage.
Considering Lin Fuying’s physical condition and Ye Yunting’s level of concern for her, the reason for not consummating the marriage seed obvious—he cherished Lin Fuying’s body.
“Scumbag!”
Chu Nanli couldn’t help but grit her teeth.
If there was such a beloved childhood sweetheart, why did the original soul even agree to give herself to this man?! The original soul had traveled thousands of miles to entrust herself to this man to repay a life-saving debt, but what did she encounter?!
This dog of a man, Ye Yunting, cherished the white lotus’s body and abstained from his lust, but what about the original soul?
Chu Nanli recalled the day she went to Xingshan Temple, when the original soul encountered Ye Yunting being ambushed. After she saved him and treated his wounds, she imdiately realized sothing was off with Ye Yunting.
Later on, Ye Yunting pinned her down…
The original soul thought since they were husband and wife, she did not resist. Besides, she secretly wished that since they had not shared a room yet, after this night they would truly be husband and wife, so she cooperated afterwards as well.
As a result, Ye Yunting tornted her all night, demanding her several tis over.
Not long after returning from Xingshan Temple, the original soul was found to be pregnant, and Ye Yunting’s ashen face when he heard the news was still vivid in her mory.
Chu Nanli furrowed her brows, deeply puzzled.
The child that was conceived in such a “fiery embrace”, Ye Yunting actually refused to acknowledge it as his own, she wondered what madness had possessed him.
Or was it…
“Could it be a loss of this mory?”
Of course, she couldn’t rule out the possibility that this dog of a man simply found the child with another woman disgusting and only desired a child of his own with the white lotus, hence he wouldn’t hesitate to put a green hat on his own head.
“Still, I need to find an opportunity to test him,” Chu Nanli silently decided.
“Princess Consort, this servant has prepared the nourishing soup,” Yanyan’s voice ca from outside the space.
Chu Nanli then left the space.
Yanyan’s nourishing soup was very tasty, the trella lted in the mouth, and the flavors of goji berries and red dates had completely infused, along with the sweetness of the snow pear.
“Yanyan, your cooking skills are truly remarkable,” Chu Nanli complinted with a smile.
Yanyan’s face imdiately flushed with a blush as she said, “This servant will stew it for you every day.”
“Good.”
Hearing Chu Nanli’s agreent, Yanyan was sowhat delighted, her eyes shining brightly as she said, “Princess Consort, can this servant massage your shoulders?”
She had specifically learned how to do so.
Chu Nanli was just feeling a bit tired from her labor and agreed.
Just then, two maids arrived at the door, not daring to co in rashly, they simply perford a curtsy at the entrance and asked with trepidation, “Princess Consort, the two of us know how to massage as well, may we give you a massage on your legs and feet?”
Chu Nanli looked over and saw they were indeed faces from her courtyard, and her eyebrows raised slightly.
It seed these people had made progress, knowing to take the initiative to co to her; they wanted to stay and serve in this courtyard.
A free massage wasn’t to be turned down.
Chu Nanli spoke leisurely, “Co in.”
The two maids were overjoyed, and with proper etiquette, they perford another curtsy, thanking the Princess Consort for her trust before entering the room.
…
“Seems like soone is enjoying the good life, that’s good,” a nearly inaudible chuckle arose from a big tree outside the courtyard, and a glimpse of a black robe and a half-mask could be seen flashing by.
A few leaves slowly drifted down, and then there was no one left on the tree.
