My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage

Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Then Sell to the Brothel Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Then Sell to the Brothel “Princess Consort, the Princess Consort is going to kill me!”

The man was sweating profusely from the pain, crying and wailing in a complaint, looking utterly disheveled.

Lin Fuying’s eyes flashed with disdain as she imperceptibly stepped backward and then leaned forward slightly, asking with concern, “You can’t get up?”

The man, sniffling and weeping, clutched one leg and said with difficulty, “The Princess Consort stabbed a needle into my knee. I’m in so much pain, I could die, and the Princess Consort doesn’t care at all whether I live or die.”

Chu Nanli snickered inwardly upon hearing these words.

He still had the energy to play the white lotus and tattle on her. It seemed the needle she stabbed wasn’t deep enough last time; she should have used one needle per leg.

At that moment, Lin Fuying stood up and looked over.

“Sister, if Yingying remembers correctly, this is the person you specifically requested from the nanny. Now, not only is the nanny missing, but you also mistreat her people like this. How am I to explain to the Prince that the nanny’s sudden disappearance has nothing to do with you?”

Chu Nanli watched her pretending to suppress her sorrow and disappointment, forcing a strong front without any expression.

True to the form of a white lotus, her speech was an artful performance.

But she was not one to indulge such behavior.

“My memory serves me that it was you who told the Prince that the nanny’s departure was related to me.”

Lin Fuying, looking distressed, said, “Sister, Yingying had her suspicions about you, but in the end, she chose to trust you. She even persuaded the Prince to trust you. However, seeing how you abuse the nanny’s people in the courtyard today, Yingying doesn’t know whether she should still trust you.”

“How beautifully put,” Chu Nanli scoffed. She glanced coldly at the surrounding servants who were reveling in misfortune and said, “Besides, when have I ever mistreated them? I was merely disciplining the disobedient ones.”

The servants’ faces turned a mixture of green and white from the scolding.

The man on the ground immediately begged Lin Fuying, “Concubine, I am willing to be your ox and horse, please give me a chance to work in your courtyard.”

The other servants’ eyes lit up at this statement.

Indeed, what future could they have with the chief wife? Serving the favored concubine was the way to rise to prominence. Besides, the concubine was so gentle and kind; serving her had to be more comfortable than attending to Chu Nanli, the jealous and venomous woman.

Thus, they followed suit.

“Concubine, this servant also wishes to serve you.”

“This servant as well!”

In an instant, the courtyard was filled with kneeling figures.

Lin Fuying felt an extreme sense of triumph within, gearing up to secretly ridicule Chu Nanli. She thought if she could provoke Chu Nanli into rage, it would be even better, but at that moment, she saw a standing figure, and her eyes immediately dimmed.

Yanyan hadn’t expected the concubine to suddenly look her way, and she stiffened, unsure whether to bow or what to do.

Chu Nanli followed Lin Fuying’s gaze and saw Yanyan, also momentarily startled.

She hadn’t expected there to be a maid in the courtyard who was loyal to her. She couldn’t let the white lotus scare her away.

With this thought, Chu Nanli said indifferently, “You all want to go with the concubine?”

Hearing this, Lin Fuying withdrew her gaze and looked at Chu Nanli leisurely.

Today she would let this lowlife know how powerless she was.

The kneeling servants did not disappoint her, repeatedly saying, “Yes, we wish to work in the concubine’s courtyard.”

Lin Fuying softly began, “Sister, since that’s the case, then…”

“Since that’s the case, just sell them to the brothel,” Chu Nanli said with a faint smile. Her brothel had just started operating, and there was a need for people.

Lin Fuying’s expression froze, the rest of her sentence stuck in her throat.

The servants on the ground looked up in panic.

With a carefree tone, Chu Nanli said, “Sell the maids to attract clients, the men to be pimps. Make your choice. After all, I won’t keep disloyal people here.”

The servants, terrified, did not dare to utter a word, instead looking imploringly towards Lin Fuying.
