Ye Yunting’s face darkened, and his sharp gaze fell on Chu Nanli and Chu Yi, halting his steps.
From a distance, Chu Nanli heard Lin Fuying’s words and also smelled the strong scent of tea.
“Prince, isn’t it inappropriate to forcibly take medicinal herbs someone else has already bought?” Chu Nanli quickly walked over and pointed at the box in his hand.
Ye Yunting’s expression paused, then he furrowed his brows.
Chu Yi bowed and said, “Greetings to the Prince, these Su Lanling herbs were purchased on behalf of the Princess Consort.”
In just a few words, he clarified why Chu Nanli was there.
Lin Fuying’s complexion changed, fearing Chu Nanli would take the herbs, she pitifully said, “So it was sister who bought these herbs, but these are for fetal protection, sister’s child… I’m sorry, Yingying shouldn’t bring up sister’s sorrow.”
As she spoke, she dabbed at the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief before continuing.
“Sister can scold Yingying afterward all you want, but these herbs were specifically bought for Yingying’s mother, who has just conceived and is frail, needing these herbs for fetal protection.”
“Yingying, you don’t need to be so humble.” Ye Yunting frowned, seeming displeased, and said to Chu Nanli, “I will compensate at the market rate, let Yingying have these herbs.”
Lin Fuying bit her lip, said no more, and felt inwardly delighted.
Chu Nanli, however, was infuriated, unable to maintain her composure any longer.
“Prince, how can you rightfully snatch something from someone else?”
“Presumptuous!” Ye Yunting’s face suddenly turned cold, his dark eyes full of oppressive force.
Chu Nanli was not afraid at all, her eyes also fiery: “The Auction House has its rules, whoever wins the bid owns the item. Prince, intercepting after the auction ends, how is that different from a robber’s actions?”
Ye Yunting’s face remained stern, displeased: “If it weren’t for arriving a step too late and missing the auction, I would have directly bid for these herbs myself, there would be no need to buy them from you.”
He paused, then added, “Yingying’s mother is overlooked by the Prime Minister in the Prime Minister Residence, and this time, there’s a great possibility that it could be a boy in her womb. Should he be born safely, Yingying’s mother’s status in the Prime Minister Residence would significantly rise, benefitting Yingying thereafter.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Nanli did indeed falter for a moment.
She then coldly twitched her lips, her tone somewhat sarcastic, “The Prince truly knows how to be sympathetic.”
Then why never show sympathy to her original self?
After snatching her medicine, he even had the audacity to speak of how hard it is for Lin Fuying and her mother in the Prime Minister Residence.
How ironic, once causing the main wife’s miscarriage for a concubine, and now snatching the main wife’s medicine for someone else’s concubine, truly moving heaven and earth.
“I will have the house steward send you the money when I return,” he said.
Ye Yunting felt that Chu Nanli had become much harder to deal with and disliked the way she looked at him, convinced that this was Chu Nanli’s new trick to catch his attention, and his attitude became even colder.
Chu Nanli took a step forward, blocking the path of him and Lin Fuying, and coldly said, “This medicine, I will not allow it.”
Chu Yi silently stood behind her, assuming a protective stance.
He had no right to speak here, but his actions clearly showed where he stood.
Ye Yunting’s expression turned utterly somber, just as Lin Fuying sobbed beside him.
“Sister, you don’t need this medicine, can’t you let someone who needs it have it? Even if Yingying is not your favorite, her mother is innocent. Sister, do you really have the heart to watch Yingying’s mother suffer?”
Her words were strategically poignant, not mentioning how she managed to make Chu Nanli dislike her, cleverly absolving herself of all blame, leaving Chu Nanli to carry all the burdens.
In her accusation, Chu Nanli was made out to be someone narrow-minded and devoid of compassion.
Just as Chu Nanli was about to retort, she was interrupted by Ye Yunting’s dark warning tone.
“Chu Nanli, don’t be too malicious. You have no use for this Fetal Protection Medicine, but giving it to Yingying’s mother would let you accumulate some virtue.”
Really?
What kind of perplexing statement is that?
Snatching her medicine and then advising her to accumulate virtue?
If it weren’t for knowing that the child in her womb is innocent, Chu Nanli would truly want to wait until the child is born, then have him know the foolish words his father spoke!
