Bai didn't understand, and he was also very curious.

Judging from Ning'er's appearance, she must have known about the tricks of the two Su women for a long time, otherwise she wouldn't have investigated the matter so thoroughly.

Ning'er was probably trying to expose her, so why did she let her off so easily after she just knelt down?

Seeing that Xuan Yuanzhan was also looking at her, Su Xuening knew that neither of them understood.

No one knew Su Feiling better than her. In just a short while, she had already come up with a solution, which was a last resort for her, but it was a way out.

But she didn't want her to take that path to survival, so she chose to let her go.

"She wasn't really trying to apologize to me or beg for forgiveness when she knelt on the ground!"

Su Feiling herself was well aware that she and Su Feiling had long been sworn enemies, and even if Su Feiling knelt down and begged her, Su Feiling would not let her go!

Of course, the same would be true if the roles were reversed. Even if she were in a dead end today, let alone if she would kneel down and beg Su Feiling, even if she were willing to kneel, Su Feiling would never let her go!

Bai could understand Su Xuening's meaning, just like she and Su Huiyan. They had long since become the kind of people who would never bow down to each other, even if it meant death.

So even if they lose, Xuanyuan Yu will ultimately ascend the throne, and Su Huiyan will become the Empress Dowager. If they can escape, they will; if they can't, Su Huiyan won't need to humiliate her—she will preserve her dignity herself.

"So what was the purpose of the two Su women kneeling?" That was what she didn't understand.

Su Xuening recalled the resolute look on Su Feiling's face when she knelt down and said coldly, "She must have been prepared to fake a miscarriage. That kneeling was just a prelude to her miscarriage. She just didn't expect me to let her go so suddenly, so the rest of the act didn't work out."

This must be the only way out that Su Feiling could think of. It has to be said that she did break the deadlock today.

Su Xuening's words shocked Bai Shi and Xuan Yuanzhan once again.

Bai suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! No wonder she suddenly knelt down before you; she was trying to frame you!"

Because she knelt before Ning'er, she miscarried, leaving Ning'er with no way to explain herself.

Su Huiyan will definitely make a scene then, and even if they are in the right, Su Huiyan will make them seem unreasonable by twisting her words.

"The two Su sisters are truly cunning!" Bai couldn't help but exclaim.

Although she knew that the two women of the Su family were formidable, she had truly witnessed it today.

Xuan Yuanzhan looked at Su Xuening with heartache.

The two Su sisters are so cunning, it's really tough on Ning'er, she has to endure all their schemes all the time!

In an instant, Xuan Yuanzhan's murderous intent resurfaced.

Su Xuening gave a cold, sharp smile.

How could Su Feiling not be amazing? If she were truly brainless, how could she have successfully become Xuan Yuan Yu's empress in her previous life!

Bai frowned, unwilling to give up, and said, "But are we just going to let her go like this?"

Now that they all know that the two Su women were faking their pregnancies, it would be too lenient to let her off so easily.

Su Xuening smiled at Madam Bai and said, "Actually, I didn't plan to expose her today. I wanted to wait until she gave birth, switch the babies, and then expose her. That way, I could solidify her crime of confusing the royal bloodline! If I expose her now, she can not only cover it up with a miscarriage, but a charge of faking a pregnancy won't kill her!"

At most, one of them will be banished to the cold palace. If Su Huiyan makes a scene again, perhaps nothing will happen, and she will only be demoted to a concubine.

This outcome is far too lenient on Su Feiling.

Bai thought about it and agreed: "Indeed, exposing her after she has switched the children will solidify her guilt even more!"

Su Xuening suddenly spoke up again: "Actually, there is another reason why I didn't expose her today."

Bai Shi and Xuan Yuanzhan both looked at Su Xuening.

Su Xuening sighed softly and looked at the two of them, explaining, "If I insist on having those imperial physicians examine Su Feiling's pulse today, Su Feiling will create the illusion that she has miscarried. But if Su Feiling 'miscarries,' she will definitely not keep the child in Zishu's belly."

Su Feiling would never leave behind Zi Shu and Zi Shu's child, such a fatal weakness.

So if she were to forcefully expose her today, Su Feiling might not die, but Zishu and her child would certainly die.

Zi Shu deserved to die for helping Su Feiling commit evil deeds and attempting to confuse the royal bloodline, but the child in her womb was innocent.

The baby was already six months old. It would be too cruel to let Zishu and the unborn child die together.

Perhaps it was because she had become a mother herself, and because her child in her previous life had also failed to survive, that she felt somewhat reluctant to do so.

Although Bai had never heard of the name "Zishu," she could guess from the tone of her voice that it must be the palace maid who had conceived the two daughters of the Su family.

I didn't expect Ning'er to have thought of so much in such a short time.

Madam Bai patted Su Xuening's shoulder reassuringly: "No matter what decision you make, your mother and Zhan'er will support you."

Ning'er is kind-hearted; even though they schemed against her like this, she didn't want to implicate innocent children.

However, Ning'er's idea is good. As long as this handle is there, the two Su family girls will be easy to deal with in the future.

"Thank you, Mother." Su Xuening smiled gratefully at Madam Bai.

My mother is truly a wonderful mother!

The more she spent with her, the more she realized that her mother was not only wise, broad-minded, insightful, and open-minded, but also loved her and Xuanyuan Zhan unconditionally.

She really learned a lot from her!

"Silly child, why are you being so polite with your mother? In the future, inform your mother in advance about such matters. With your mother's protection, you have nothing to fear." Madam Bai looked at Su Xuening with a smile, her joy growing with each glance, treating her like a daughter.

Thinking of something, Su Xuening took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve: "I am very grateful for this medicine from Mother today."

When her mother gave it to her, she secretly told her that each pill in the medicine bottle would reduce the number of months on her pulse by one month, so she took half a pill, which reduced her pulse by half a month.

Xuan Yuanzhan stared blankly at the bottle of medicine: "What is this?"

"This is..." Su Xuening was just explaining something to Xuan Yuanzhan with the medicine bottle when Bai Shi took the bottle away: "Why are you asking so many questions about women's affairs?"

Xuanyuan Zhan pursed his lips speechlessly.

How is this a woman's business?

Isn't this Ning'er's business?

Isn't Ning'er's matter his matter? Why shouldn't he ask?

Xuanyuan Zhan wanted to ask Ning'er if there were any side effects from taking this medicine, but then Bai Shi changed the subject, saying, "What would Ning'er like to eat tonight? Your mother will have the main kitchen prepare it for you in a bit."

Su Xuening glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan, who looked like he wanted to ask something but was interrupted, and chose to change the subject with Bai Shi: "I want to eat something light."

Madam Bai smiled and said, "How about seafood porridge then? And have Granny Shang prepare some of your favorite side dishes."

"good."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted and laughed, neither of them paying any attention to Xuan Yuanzhan.
