Chapter 80: Chapter 80: It’s Your Own Fault If You Can’t Keep a Man Chapter 80: Chapter 80: It’s Your Own Fault If You Can’t Keep a Man The scalding water seethed on the back of her foot, causing Lin Fuying to cry out in pain, but as she was still reeling in shock, she encountered Chu Nanli’s murderous, ominous glare, and involuntary shivers ran down her spine.
“If you don’t want Ye Yunting to come collect your body, then shut up.” Chu Nanli warned coldly, her sharp gaze laced with a hint of ferocity.
“Let me be clear with you. I have absolutely no interest in the man Ye Yunting. If you can’t keep a man, that’s your own incompetence, there’s no need to come here and play your tricks!”
“If you cause trouble here again, don’t blame me for not being polite. Those who anger me, won’t end well!”
Lin Fuying was intimidated by Chu Nanli’s aura and, heart pounding, she found her thoughts inadvertently drifting to Nanny Hua.
Nanny Hua had offended Chu Nanli, and then she disappeared…
She had sent people to investigate, and Nanny Hua hadn’t returned to her hometown at all!
So had Chu Nanli actually laid hands on Nanny Hua?
The more she thought about it, the more panic-stricken Lin Fuying became, and she blurted out anxiously, “You, you… Did you kill Nanny Hua?”
“Casting such certain aspersions upon me, could it be that she has appeared to you in a dream?” Chu Nanli’s mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes were cold and relentless, seeming to Lin Fuying like a demon incarnate.
Lin Fuying suddenly stood up from her chair, stared at Chu Nanli, took two steps back in quick succession, and then turned and fled in disarray.
She’s mad! Chu Nanli has gone mad!
…
After Lin Fuying and Dong Yue had left, Yanyan hurried into the room, and seeing the mess inside, she couldn’t help but be stunned and asked anxiously, “Princess Consort, are you all right?”
Chu Nanli lowered her gaze and concealed the sharpness in her eyes, calmly saying, “I am unharmed.”
Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief, then set about tidying the room, but Chu Nanli stopped her.
“Let others clean up. Where is Xiao Guai?”
Not understanding the reason, but still replying swiftly, Yanyan said, “In the back yard, asleep.”
Chu Nanli glanced at the sky outside.
It was already night.
After withdrawing her gaze, she instructed, “Tomorrow morning, take Xiao Guai out of the estate, and send him to the Bright Moon Building. Remember to avoid places where Ye Yunting and Lin Fuying often appear, to prevent any interference.”
It was the first time Yanyan saw Chu Nanli arrange something so earnestly, and she couldn’t help but feel a chill, worried that something had happened, but in the end, she refrained from asking more.
“Understood.”
Chu Nanli stood up and said, “Take me to see it.”
“Understood.”
As they left the hall, Yanyan gestured to two maids to come in and clean up, then quickly led the way.
Chu Nanli’s figure strode along the corridor where the candlelight flickered, as if shrouded in a layer of gloom.
Her eyes were downcast, her lips slightly pursed.
Having just embarrassed Lin Fuying today, Ye Yunting would likely come tomorrow to vent on Lin Fuying’s behalf. Coupled with Ye Yunting’s sudden anger earlier in the evening, already bearing discontent towards her, and having warned her not to keep Xiao Guai in the estate.
If she didn’t rush to send Xiao Guai away from the estate soon, she would not only have to worry about Ye Yunting laying hands on Xiao Guai, but also dread that Lin Fuying, out of spite and malice, might kill Xiao Guai.
“Princess Consort, we have arrived.”
Yanyan said softly.
Not wanting to disturb Xiao Guai, the two didn’t approach closer.
The back yard was lit by only a few oil lamps, and the lighting was very dim, but Chu Nanli saw Xiao Guai lying in a small nest made for it, sleeping soundly.
The chill in her body slowly faded, and her expression softened.
She watched in silence for a moment, then said, “Let’s go.”
“Understood.”
