"Liyou Pavilion?" Bai was shocked for a long time and still couldn't believe it, almost thinking she had misheard: "Don't tell me it's the Liyou Pavilion I'm thinking of!"
Mu Lingchen, not content with the situation, tried to appease Bai Shi: "Aunt Bai, don't be angry. Xuan Yuanzhan went to the Liyou Pavilion on important business!"
"Cough cough..." Before Bai could get angry, Su Xuening couldn't stop coughing violently.
Seeing that Su Xuening looked like she had choked, Xuan Yuanzhan went over anxiously to pat her back and asked, "Ning'er, are you alright?"
Bai was also frightened by Su Xuening, thinking that she was concerned about Xuan Yuanzhan's visit to Liyou Pavilion, so she quickly comforted her: "Ning'er, don't be angry. I'll get revenge for you in a moment. I'll beat this brat to death!"
...Xuanyuan Zhan looked speechlessly at Bai Shi, who had been causing all the trouble: "What did I do that you want to kill me!"
Ning'er already misunderstood, and now she's adding fuel to the fire—isn't that just making things worse?
Seeing that Xuan Yuanzhan still dared to put on a bad face even at this point, Bai Shi was furious and slapped him twice: "You still have the nerve to talk? What were you doing going to that brothel?"
"I already said I have serious business to attend to," Xuan Yuanzhan said impatiently.
Madam Bai, however, simply did not believe it: "What serious business could you possibly have at a brothel? Tell me, and I'll hear whether it's a serious business or not."
Even now, Mu Lingchen still couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire, looking expectantly at Xuan Yuanzhan: "Quickly explain this to Aunt Bai!"
He really wants to hear it too!
He had been curious all night, almost to the point of being driven mad by curiosity, so he tried to get information out of Aunt Bai first thing in the morning.
Now, even Su Xuening looked at Xuan Yuanzhan with curiosity.
She was also a little curious about what kind of legitimate business this person had at the brothel.
Not only the three of them, but all the remaining eyes in the room also turned to Xuan Yuanzhan.
Everyone seemed curious as to why he went to a brothel.
Mu Lingchen was practically putting him on the hot seat, and Xuan Yuanzhan instantly flew into a rage.
"Mu Lingchen, you're dead!"
Xuanyuan Zhan gritted his teeth and spat out a sentence, then reached out to grab Mu Lingchen's neck.
Mu Lingchen wasn't stupid; he took off running.
Xuan Yuanzhan was so angry that he immediately went after him!
The two of them put on a three-hundred-round cat-and-mouse game right in the yard!
Bai Shi and Su Xuening were speechless as they watched the two chasing each other.
Could these two be any more childish?
Looking at Su Xuening, Bai couldn't help but want to explain for Xuan Yuanzhan: "Zhan'er never got close to women before..."
"Pah, pah, pah..." Realizing she had misspoke, Madam Bai quickly added, "He has never been near a man before, and he has never been to that Liyou Pavilion. I guess he really has something important to do when he goes to this brothel."
After all, he was her own son, and she knew his personality well. If he really had those kinds of philandering thoughts, he would have gotten married long ago, instead of waiting until now for her to find a woman to bring him good luck!
Women aren't interested, let alone men!
Moreover, she could tell that Xuan Yuanzhan liked Ning'er, and he certainly wouldn't go to that brothel for no reason.
After speaking, Bai felt that she had sided with Xuan Yuanzhan, so she assured him, "I will ask him again later. If he really dares to do something to betray you, I will never forgive him!"
Ning'er is such a good girl, she won't allow this rascal to have any ulterior motives!
If he really dares to have it, let's see how she deals with him!
Seeing that Madam Bai was wholeheartedly on her side, Su Xuening was deeply moved: "No need, Mother, I believe him!"
Although she hadn't been married to Xuanyuan Zhan for long, she still knew him quite well.
Even though the Love Flower Gu was so unbearable, he didn't seek relief from women. He didn't even like alluring beauties like Long Jiaojiao. He really had no interest in women!
As for men...
Su Xuening thought about how she would always feel emotional when she was with Xuan Yuanzhan. She thought he probably didn't like men, since they even had a child together.
Therefore, she still trusts him completely when it comes to matters between men and women!
Bai was deeply moved by Su Xuening's magnanimity and understanding. She immediately pulled Su Xuening aside and patted her reassuringly, saying, "I knew you were a sensible child. This rascal of ours is so lucky to have married you!"
Su Xuening smiled at Bai Shi.
It must be a blessing she has accumulated over many lifetimes to have a mother-in-law like her.
In the courtyard, Mu Lingchen was too tired to run anymore and didn't want to play cat and mouse with Xuan Yuanzhan any longer: "I've brought you the handkerchief, I'll go back now!"
Before Xuan Yuanzhan could speak, Mu Lingchen called out into the house again, "Aunt Bai, I will come to pay my respects to you another day."
Mu Lingchen called out, and before Bai Shi could respond, he slipped away.
If he doesn't run away soon, he might die of exhaustion in Aunt Bai's yard.
Xuanyuan Zhan had no interest in chasing Mu Lingchen. He took a couple of breaths at the door and then went back inside.
As soon as he got back to the room, Xuan Yuanzhan hurriedly explained to Su Xuening, "I went to Liyou Pavilion to ask about something, not for any other nonsense."
"Mmm," Su Xuening responded softly, without asking any further questions.
Seeing that Su Xuening didn't mind the matter, Bai stopped dwelling on it.
She didn't want to ask too many questions and end up with something bad. Even if she had to ask, she could only do so privately when she had the chance to ask this brat.
"Ahem~" Madam Bai coughed lightly, and looked at Xuan Yuanzhan, who winked at her, and said, "You rarely get a day off, why don't you take Ning'er out for a stroll? Don't waste your time here with me."
"Where should we go?" Xuan Yuanzhan thought that since it was a full moon today, he didn't really want to go out.
"Isn't today the fifteenth? Why don't you go to the temple to offer incense?" Bai suggested, seemingly puzzled.
Ning'er happened to be pregnant, so she went to offer incense as a way of fulfilling her vow.
Xuan Yuanzhan looked at Su Xuening: "Do you want to go?"
Su Xuening thought for a moment and said, "Then why don't we go to Bailong Temple?"
Tonight is a full moon. Going to Bailong Temple to receive Buddhist scripture baptism might make it easier to get through the night.
Moreover, Bailong Temple is not far from the cold pool of Longya Mountain, so if she really can't stand it, she can go soak in the cold pool.
"Alright! Then let's stay at Bailong Temple for one night and come back." Xuan Yuanzhan understood Su Xuening's idea. As long as she wanted to go, he naturally had no objection.
The moon is full tonight. Long Jiaojiao knows that Ning'er's Love Flower Gu will take effect tonight, and she will definitely seize the opportunity to act. Temporarily hiding in Bailong Temple may not be a bad thing.
After bidding farewell to the Bai family, the two went back to pack their things and took a carriage to Bailong Temple.
No sooner had the two left the city than Wu Huan reported to Long Jiaojiao: "Holy Maiden, they've left the city?"
Long Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes menacingly: "Today is the full moon, and that woman's love potion will surely take effect tonight. This holy maiden wants to see if Xuanyuan Zhan has told that woman the truth!"
If Xuanyuan Zhan doesn't keep his promise, then she will destroy the mother Gu of the Love Flower Gu and make that woman suffer for the rest of her life!
