章 7: Chapter 7 Administration of Medicine
Chu Nanli was observing the condition of the fetus in the space when she sensed someone coming. As she exited the space, she noticed an additional bowl of poor-quality herbal medicine on the table, seemingly mixed with human saliva, which disgusted Chu Nanli.
"What is this?"
"Princess Consort, this is the medicine the Prince ordered for you," Nanny Hua said with a smile, covering her lips.
"Has the Prince become so poor that he has to use this kind of medicine?" Chu Nanli narrowed her eyes, "Or is it medicine mixed with spit?"
Nanny Hua did not expect Chu Nanli to notice, so she stopped pretending and disdainfully said, "The Princess Consort really thinks highly of herself, doesn't she? Just a lowly commoner, and still, you should be grateful for having medicine to drink!"
Chu Nanli, still busy taking care of the fetus, had no interest in dealing with them and frowned, "Take the medicine away!"
"That's not up to you. Since the Prince has ordered it, you must drink it!" Nanny Hua said triumphantly, "Someone, force the Princess Consort to drink!"
As soon as the words fell, several maids behind Nanny Hua approached Chu Nanli.
Chu Nanli's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she quickly flew out silver needles to immobilize the maids. When it came to Nanny Hua, Chu Nanli directly grabbed her neck.
"Do you like spitting in it?" Chu Nanli gripped Nanny Hua's chin, "Then eat your fill yourself!"
With that, she picked up the bowl of medicine and forcibly poured it down her throat.
Nanny Hua, unable to move, was forced to swallow several mouthfuls of the disgusting medicine and almost vomited her guts out.
She was extremely resentful.
"You wench, just you wait!"
She cursed as she led a group of maids out, heading straight for Ye Yunting's courtyard.
"Prince, the Princess Consort refused to take the medicine and even attacked the servants, spilling the medicine!"
Nanny Hua knelt on the ground, crying and "accusing," causing Ye Yunting to furrow his brows.
"How long does she plan to make trouble!" Ye Yunting grew impatient. Just a bastard child, was it that important to her?
Or did she resent him for not bringing the medicine in person?
Recalling what Bai Wuheng had said, Ye Yunting finally ordered Ye Yi, "Go get another bowl of medicine. I will deliver it myself!"
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Yunting arrived at Wutong Academy, carrying the tonic.
Chu Nanli was somewhat irritated; she had just sent away one group of people and was treating the fetus in the space when another unwelcome guest appeared.
"What are you doing here again?" Chu Nanli said irritably to the man in front of her.
Ye Yunting's handsome face darkened as he tugged at the corner of his mouth and ordered sternly, "Drink the medicine!"
Chu Nanli looked at it, noticed there was no poison, took it, and drank it quickly.
"Are you satisfied now?"
"Yes." Ye Yunting's dark face softened slightly, and he slowly sat on the table.
"If you had just drunk it earlier, there would have been no need to cause a fuss and make me come see you!"
"I caused a fuss to make you come?" Chu Nanli frowned slightly, puzzled as she looked towards Ye Yunting.
"Spilling the medicine and injuring Nanny Hua and the others wasn't to make me come see you?" Ye Yunting said sternly, "Chu Nanli, using such childish tricks, you are really becoming more capable!"
Chu Nanli frowned displeasedly, "I spilled the medicine because it was tainted with spit, which has nothing to do with you. As for injuring Nanny Hua, she was forcing me to drink the saliva-laced medicine..."
"Enough! Chu Nanli, you should find a better excuse for lying! How could a servant like Nanny Hua dare to do such a thing?" Ye Yunting's face suddenly darkened.
"She dares to commit murder by arson, what wouldn't she dare?"
Chu Nanli sneered, meeting his sinister face straight on, "Ye Yunting, only a fool like you would believe a servant's word without investigating!"
"You! Chu Nanli! Your audacity grows, daring to insult me!" Ye Yunting gripped Chu Nanli's wrist tightly, his dark eyes swirling with towering anger, seemingly ready to tear Chu Nanli apart the next moment.
"Do you think this will get my attention? Let me tell you, stop using schemes to make me come see you, such behavior disgusts me!"
Ye Yunting harshly flung his sleeves, his face darkened as he prepared to leave, but Chu Nanli called out from behind him.
"Ye Yunting, if you despise me so much, let's divorce!"
Chu Nanli could no longer tolerate this brainless, temperamental man. Being entangled with such a person was simply a waste of life.
"Divorce?"
Ye Yunting paused momentarily, then his face turned even more somber, "Chu Nanli, what tricks are you playing now?"
"I'm serious."
Chu Nanli, fearing Ye Yunting wouldn't believe her, said earnestly, "Ye Yunting, you've long despised me. Dragging this out makes no one happy. It would be better if I stepped aside and let your Yingying become the official wife."
She thought the offer she made was tempting enough that Ye Yunting would agree, but instead, his face grew uglier, and he teetered on the edge of rage.
"Chu Nanli, don't even think about it! If I were to let you go, it would only be to divorce, do you think you are qualified for a separation?"
