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.
