Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Lin Fuying Plans to Consummate the Marriage Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Lin Fuying Plans to Consummate the Marriage Having left the Auction House, Chu Nanli headed back to the War God Residence.
The dicinal herbs were sowhat plentiful. Chu Yi helped Chu Nanli carry them and only left after he had escorted her to the gate of the War God Residence.
On her way back to the courtyard, Chu Nanli thought about the handso sum she had made today and felt very pleased, considering it was ti to give Yanyan an extra al.
“Prince, today I really owe you a lot for your help…”
A familiar voice ca from ahead.
Chu Nanli looked up and saw a couple walking not far in front, which instantly soured her mood.
Why did she run into them again?
She looked around and found that although she could take a different path, it would an taking a significant detour.
Coming back, in order to prevent Ye Yunting from seeing Chu Yi lose his temper again, she had specifically asked Chu Yi not to escort her to the courtyard. Carrying these things herself and then taking a long detour would probably be too much for her body to handle.
Thinking this, Chu Nanli held her breath, found nowhere nearby to sit, and could only trudge slowly behind the couple, silently praying they wouldn’t notice her.
Otherwise, another “battle” would ensue, and she was tired of it.
“Yingying, you are too formal with .”
Ye Yunting’s soothing voice ca from ahead.
Chu Nanli heard a hint of tenderness in his voice and couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
The wife is not as good as the concubine.
That saying wasn’t wrong.
Lin Fuying’s cheeks were slightly flushed, and biting her lower lip, she said, “Yingying still wants to properly thank the Prince. Although the Prince is Yingying’s husband, my mother has always taught to be a grateful person. It’s all thanks to the Prince that my mother can live a good life at the Pri Minister Residence.”
Hearing this, Chu Nanli blinked in disbelief.
What? Wasn’t the concubine of the Pri Minister Family taught from an early age to strive and snatch, and if that failed, to steal?
“You are just too kind, which makes it easy for others to bully you.”
Ye Yunting pulled her closer into his embrace.
Chu Nanli felt as if she had been stabbed in the chest.
Was this wretched man implying that she bullied Lin Fuying? That black-hearted, white-lotused woman, getting bullied?
“Prince, Yingying is fine. I am truly grateful that the Prince was willing to marry . Now that I have gone through hardships, the sufferings at the Pri Minister Residence don’t seem to matter. Now… now in the Prince Residence, although my sister occasionally acts capriciously and leaves Yingying sowhat confused, Yingying knows the Prince cares deeply for her, and that’s enough.”
What a perfect pair of despicable lovers!
Chu Nanli’s anger flared up instantly.
Listen to how skilfully she speaks!
What a perfect portrayal of an innocent and benevolent little white flower!
It’s lucky for them that the Pri Minister has significant influence with the current Emperor. Even though Ye Yunting, the War God, has a fearso reputation, he can’t do much against the Pri Minister.
Otherwise, considering how the War God dotes on his childhood sweetheart, he might have commanded his troops to raid the Pri Minister Residence.
“In the future, I will keep you safe,” Ye Yunting promised warmly.
Lin Fuying lifted her gaze to look at the handso profile of the man, her heart rate increasing as she softly said, “Prince, Yingying would like to cook a al for you tonight as thanks for your kindness to her.”
“You are thoughtful, Yingying,”
Ye Yunting chuckled lightly and said, “Then I will accompany Yingying to Furong Academy right now.”
Lin Fuying’s cheeks reddened further, her heartbeat quickening as she said, “Prince, will you spend the night at Furong Academy tonight? Yingying wants the Prince’s company.”
She didn’t want to delay consummating their marriage any longer.
Her mother was right; she needed a child to secure her position, to firmly tether this man’s heart to her side.
Ye Yunting paused slightly, his gaze falling on the blushing face of the woman in his arms, as he was about to speak when he suddenly heard a noise from behind.
Imdiately, he instinctively stopped and turned to look back.
