Chapter 9 Ye Yunting Gets Angry

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Chu Nanli snapped out of it and saw Ye Yunting still in the room, looking at her with brooding eyes, and she felt an ominous sense of confusion.

Why wasn't this man going to visit his beloved Yingying? Why was he still standing around here?

Ye Yunting's face showed a coldness as he spoke with mocking tone, "I want to see just how many faces you've faked that I don't know about. Initially, to get close to me, you pretended to be so harmless, but inside you're so vulgar and lowly, it makes me want to vomit!"

Chu Nanli's heart suddenly ached without warning, her complexion shifted, and she looked down with a sudden sourness in her heart.

She felt it was unjust for the original soul.

"Since that's the case, for the sake of your delicate body, please leave."

Chu Nanli looked up, her gaze cold and filled with disgust.

Ye Yunting, furious, stepped forward and grabbed the woman's slender neck, the veins on his hand standing out.

"Are you seeking death?!"

Chu Nanli sneered, a single 'leave' was all it took to get under his skin...

"Dare you use a word like 'delicate body' that's used to describe women on me? I am the War God of Xia Kingdom! Do you know how many enemies tremble at the mention of my name..."

The enraged man was still speaking, but Chu Nanli was no longer listening, her mind filled with the absurdity.

This? Not because of the word 'leave', but because of 'delicate body'?

Chu Nanli raised her hand straight towards Ye Yunting's palm, the silver needle flashing in her grasp.

Ye Yunting, with quick reflexes, withdrew his hand and flipped her onto the bed.

"Bang!"

Chu Nanli's head hit the bedpost, and her vision went dark.

"Was that move learned from that Evil Seed's biological father?"

The man's voice sounded like a storm was brewing.

Chu Nanli laughed angrily, calling her own flesh and blood an Evil Seed; this man was indeed continuously shattering her perceptions.

Pushing herself up from the bed, Chu Nanli retorted with sarcasm, "What did I say wrong by calling you a 'delicate body'? You, a man over six feet tall, just by looking at me, you want to throw up. Yet, I, a mere woman, have been pregnant and feeling ill day and night, frequently unable to eat anything due to pregnancy sickness. But when I saw you, when did I ever show it?"

Ye Yunting's face paused in anger, his brows furrowed deeply as he looked at her somberly.

Chu Nanli voiced her sarcasm, "That's because the former me always wanted to maintain the best image in front of you, even more afraid of worrying you. But what I didn't know was that you are nothing but a cold-hearted and ungrateful man."

So, he completely missed a woman's wholehearted devotion and instead held the false pure one close to his heart.

The woman before him was pale, but her eyes were especially firm and indifferent, causing Ye Yunting to freeze momentarily, his mind remembering the once cozy moments they shared.

But in the next moment, his indifference took over.

"What right do you have to my pity while carrying an Evil Seed?"

With that, he turned and left coldly.

Chu Nanli cursed quietly, "Dog of a man," took out a silver needle, and gave herself a few acupuncture treatments before she felt her blood and qi flow more smoothly.

After Ye Yi brought the ten thousand taels of gold, Chu Nanli checked it and then left the courtyard.

...

"Chu Nanli, you vile woman! If the fire didn't kill you, there are plenty of ways to do it later," Nanny Hua, with a distorted face, stabbed a figurine labeled with Chu Nanli's name with needles.

A cold voice came from behind her.

"I'm afraid you won't have that chance."

Nanny Hua's complexion changed, and seeing Chu Nanli appear in her quarters, she was full of disbelief.

The doors were locked, how did this vile woman get in?

But even with her entrance, Nanny Hua wasn't scared.

She didn't believe Chu Nanli would dare to do anything to her since she served the Prince's favorite Concubine.

"Oh, isn't this our Princess Consort who no man likes, who can't even protect her own child in her womb?"

Nanny Hua, with a face like dried orange peel, piled on a mocking smile as she said in a shrill, contemptuous voice, "I heard you want my life, but unfortunately, you, with a status lower than a dog's, don't have that ability... I am the nanny to the Princess Consort, deeply loved by the Prince, and the Prince loves all related, willing to spend a thousand taels more to..."

Her speech abruptly stopped.

"Noisy."

Chu Nanli retracted her hand that had sealed an acupoint, then dragged the person into the room.

Nanny Hua was terrified, realizing she could neither move nor speak.

Chu Nanli fetched paper and pen, pushed her to the desk, and unsealed an acupoint, "Write what I say. Don't think you can fool me, I know you can read and write."

Nanny Hua twisted her head to run towards the door, but Chu Nanli dragged her back and slapped her across the face.

"I'm not a nice person, nor do I have patience. If you don't write, I'll give you a cut to let some blood out until you're done. But your skin is so tough, my knife isn't sharp; I might have to slice a few more times."

Nanny Hua turned pale with fear, gave Chu Nanli a spiteful glance, and then picked up the pen to write a sentence.

"The Princess Consort will not let you off."

Chu Nanli didn't speak, stabbing the knife into her shoulder.

Nanny Hua turned deathly pale, trembling like chaff.

Chu Nanli tore up the paper and stuffed it into her mouth, making her swallow it before placing a new sheet on the desk.

"A letter of resignation... Having harmed the Princess Consort's unborn child, my conscience is troubled. Last night I dreamt of divine punishment, so I request to retire and return home to pray and fast for the innocent unborn child, as atonement to the Princess Consort. I am willing to offer my personal belongings to the Princess Consort, and the servant who previously served me should also be transferred to serve the Princess Consort henceforth."

After Nanny Hua finished writing, Chu Nanli also made her press her handprint.

Nanny Hua hung her head, full of resentment, envisioning a hundred different ways to torment Chu Nanli to death.

However, the next moment, everything went dark, and she found herself in a strange place.

Chu Nanli appeared alongside her, and in the midst of Nanny Hua's extreme terror, severed her tendons in her hands and feet, speaking indifferently, "From now on, enjoy your twilight years here."

After cleaning up any traces, Chu Nanli left quickly.
