After sitting in the courtyard for a while, Su Xuening was ushered back to her room to rest.

Bai also followed them into the house.

"Mother."

Seeing Bai Shi enter, Su Xuening hurriedly tried to get up, but Bai Shi quickly took two steps and pressed her back onto the bed: "You girl already said there's no need to be polite with your mother. You're so weak, you should lie down and rest."

Su Xuening smiled and comforted her, "Actually, it's much better now, Mother, don't worry."

"How could I not worry? I only found out now that that kid caused you so much suffering." Bai Shi took Su Xuening's hand guiltily, her eyes full of heartache.

Su Xuening didn't know what Xuan Yuanzhan had said to her mother, but she still couldn't help but comfort her: "Mother, don't overthink it. It wasn't him who harmed me, and many things were not what he wanted."

Seeing that she was still speaking up for Xuan Yuanzhan at this point, Bai was both moved and heartbroken: "Don't try to excuse that boy. Although he was also a victim, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this!"

Thinking of what Xuan Yuanzhan had told her before, Bai felt extremely distressed and lovingly hugged Su Xuening into her arms.

Bai's warm embrace and genuine care reminded Su Xuening of her mother.

Her mother truly gave her the love that only a mother could give. Su Xuening couldn't help but snuggle gently against her mother's chest: "Mother, I'm fine now. The love flower curse has been cured, and the baby hasn't been affected. This is already the best outcome! As long as the baby is alright, I can endure any amount of pain."

Su Xuening's words reminded Bai Shi of herself, and she couldn't help but tear up. She raised her hand and gently stroked Su Xuening's hair affectionately: "Silly child, a woman sometimes can't only think about her husband and children, she has to think about herself too!"

Su Xuening also thought of Bai Shi's experiences and asked with the same heartache, "Has Mother ever regretted doing so much for Xuanyuan Zhan?"

This really stumped Bai Shi; she had never actually thought about this question before.

After thinking it over carefully, Bai finally understood Su Xuening's words: "Never."

She never regretted what she did for Zhan'er; he was her son, a piece of her own flesh and blood. She loved him not for anyone else, but only for herself.

That was her flesh and blood, the continuation of her life, the closest person to her in this world. How could she not plan for him?

So she was happy to do anything for him!

This is probably Ning'er's idea as well.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a glance, smiled knowingly, and never discussed the topic again.

Bai reached out and touched Su Xuening's belly, saying happily, "Oh my, my grandson is already two months old! I was wondering why your morning sickness started at a different time than mine. Now that I think about it, it's exactly the same as mine. I guess it'll be a mischievous child like Zhan'er."

From now on, there are two more people in this world who are closest to her. How wonderful!

Sensing Bai's joy, Su Xuening smiled lovingly and said, "It should be a boy, he should look like Xuanyuan Zhan."

Su Xuening thought of her past life. This child was taken away by Su Feiling as soon as he was born. She didn't even have time to see him. She only heard the midwife say that it was a boy.

She didn't know what the child looked like, let alone who he resembled!

She didn't know who the child's father was before, but now that she does, he'll probably resemble Xuan Yuanzhan.

Upon hearing this, Bai was overjoyed: "You've already found out? Or did your master find out?"

Su Xuening snapped out of her daze and gave a slight smile: "Judging from the pulse, it's a boy."

Actually, it's because this child was born in a previous life, and he was indeed a boy.

Of course, you can also tell from the pulse that it's a boy.

"Boy or girl, as long as it's yours and that brat's child, your mother will love it." As she spoke, she began to imagine what the child would look like: "Boys mostly resemble their mothers, and I think this child will most likely look like you, so he'll be similar to Xiao Yun'an. Oh my, I love Xiao Yun'an. When I saw Xiao Yun'an just now, I was thinking how wonderful it would be to have a grandson or granddaughter like Xiao Yun'an! I've really been thinking about it."

Seeing how happy Bai was, Su Xuening also smiled.

Of course she could tell that her mother really liked Yun An. Although the two didn't meet often, every time she saw him, her mother couldn't help but rub Yun An's little face. That kind of affection couldn't be faked.

Of course, judging from her mother's straightforward and flamboyant personality, she never needed to pretend, not even when facing Xuanyuan Peng.

When Xuan Yuanzhan entered the room, he saw Bai Shi and Su Xuening chatting and laughing, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?"

Bai looked at Xuan Yuanzhan and smiled, "I was talking about your son. I wonder who he'll look like?"

"My son?" Xuan Yuanzhan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Xuening with a start: "Do you already know if it's a boy or a girl?"

“Judging from the pulse, it’s a boy.” Su Xuening hadn’t actually told Xuan Yuanzhan this before.

"It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, as long as they're healthy." Actually, Xuan Yuanzhan didn't really care about the child's gender. He didn't care if it was a boy or a girl, as long as it was their child.

Madam Bai also smiled and said, "Zhan'er is right. As long as the child is healthy, that's all that matters."

She doesn't care about the child's gender; she loves her grandson and granddaughter equally.

Seeing that Bai Shi had taken his place, Xuan Yuanzhan winked at her, saying, "It's getting late. Granny Shang and the others have already made up your bed."

As if afraid she wouldn't leave, Xuan Yuanzhan added, "Ning'er needs to rest too."

"That brat thinks I'm in his way." Madam Bai could easily understand the implication in his words. She stood up on her own and looked at Su Xuening, saying, "Mother is going to sleep now. You should rest early too."

"Um."

Su Xuening nodded obediently.

After Bai Shi left the room, Xuan Yuanzhan immediately went over and closed the door, then came back and hugged Su Xuening: "What did Bai Fuya say to you?"

Su Xuening looked up at him reproachfully: "What did you say to Mother Consort?"

Xuan Yuanzhan pursed his lips: "Didn't you say before that you should make things clear with Bai Fuya? Just yesterday, Long Jiaojiao came to the palace and made a scene. She thought I had done something to offend you and scolded me harshly. I took the opportunity to explain everything to her. She knows everything she should and shouldn't know."

Su Xuening nodded silently: "It's good that things are clear now."

It should be made clear. The month of conception can't be hidden, and clarifying it can avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Su Xuening gently stroked her belly, as if thinking of something, then looked up at Xuan Yuanzhan: "Why did Long Jiaojiao return that medical book to us so easily?"
