Bai was somewhat confused: "You ran into Ning'er? This has something to do with Ning'er? What exactly happened?"
Before he fell into a coma, did that mean he knew Ning'er before the wedding? He had never mentioned these things before.
Xuan Yuanzhan nodded, feeling a pang of heartache, and said, "That day, Ning'er was also drugged with aphrodisiacs by Su Feiling from the second branch of the Su family. Su Feiling and the woman from the second branch of the Su family who was sent to a nunnery took Ning'er to a dilapidated temple in the eastern suburbs, intending to give Ning'er to those beggars to abuse."
"I know about this. I heard that the third daughter of the second branch of the Su family had an accident. She was defiled by a group of beggars in a dilapidated temple. It seems that the city guards also witnessed it. It's all over the capital. So, are they trying to harm Ning'er? They even drugged Ning'er with the 'Drunken Aphrodisiac'." Bai Shi was still shaken. Wasn't the 'Drunken Aphrodisiac' only neutralized by sexual intercourse with a man?
Then wouldn't Ning'er be...
In an instant, Madam Bai felt heartbroken. She didn't care whether Ning'er was a virgin or not; she just felt sorry for Ning'er, a woman, who had suffered such a thing!
"Yes." Seeing Bai's worry, Xuan Yuanzhan comforted her, "They originally intended to harm Ning'er, but fortunately, Ning'er woke up in time, knocked out the three Su women, and ran away on her own. At that time, she was poisoned by the Drunken Hehuan Gu. She also knew that there was a cold pool on Dragon Tooth Mountain, so she thought of using the water of the cold pool to suppress the Drunken Hehuan Gu. So she went to that cold pool. It just so happened that it was a full moon that day, and she met me at the bottom of the pool, where I was suppressing the Love Flower Gu. And then we..."
Xuan Yuanzhan spoke cryptically, but Madam Bai understood perfectly: "You mean you and Ning'er had consummated your marriage before you were married?"
"Hmm." Xuan Yuanzhan nodded awkwardly.
Mrs. Bai was stunned. She never imagined that the two children had such a connection before their marriage!
In an instant, all emotions were replaced by heartache, heartache for his daughter-in-law, and heartache for his son.
Both children were harmed and suffered greatly. The only thing they were fortunate to have met was that they met each other instead of other scoundrels.
However, thinking of something, Madam Bai frowned in confusion and said, "That's not right. When we were at the General's Mansion, a nanny examined Ning'er and said she was a virgin!"
She remembered this very clearly. At the time, the fourth daughter of the second branch of the Su family kept clamoring that Ning'er had been drugged with the "Drunken Aphrodisiac" and was no longer a virgin. Ning'er then had a nanny examine her body; she remembered it was the nanny who served Su Huiyan.
Given Su Huiyan's personality, she shouldn't be able to help Ning'er. Back then, she was even competing with her for Ning'er. If she knew that Ning'er was no longer a virgin, how could she still compete with her for Ning'er?
“Ning’er learned medicine from her master before, and she must have used some means to cover it up. But she did consummate our marriage before we got married.”
Xuan Yuanzhan's affirmation dispelled Bai's doubts, and she was naturally more willing to believe her son than anything that had happened before.
"You child, since you and Ning'er have already consummated your marriage, why didn't you tell your mother sooner? Your mother could have arranged the betrothal sooner! Ning'er wouldn't have had to suffer such injustice."
Bai was somewhat frightened. Fortunately, she had taken a liking to Ning'er and tried her best to ask for his hand in marriage. Otherwise, if it weren't for her intervention, Ning'er would probably have already married Xuan Yuan Yu by now!
Xuan Yuanzhan felt wronged by this: "Didn't I fall into a coma after consummating my marriage with Ning'er at the Cold Pool? I was unconscious until the night of our wedding to bring good luck. Why didn't I tell you sooner?"
...Madam Bai had completely forgotten about this: "That's true! But couldn't you have told your mother after you woke up? It's been almost two months since you got married, and you're only telling me now!"
“You don’t understand how complicated this is.” Xuan Yuanzhan sighed softly. “When I was unconscious, the sudden removal of the curse had such a huge impact on my brain that I lost my memory of the Cold Pool. I had no idea that Ning’er was the woman who removed the curse for me. And because Ning’er couldn’t see at the bottom of the Cold Pool, she also had no idea that the man was me. We didn’t know each other. How can I explain this to you?”
Bai was stunned. So that's how it is!
No wonder Ning'er didn't really want to come to the Holy King's Mansion for a wedding to bring good luck. She was forced into it at the time. Between marrying Xuan Yuan Yu and coming to the Holy King's Mansion for a wedding to bring good luck, she chose to come to the Holy King's Mansion.
But unexpectedly, Zhan'er was the man she had been intimate with. This was a lucky accident!
"So how did you recognize each other?" Bai asked curiously.
Neither of them knew they were each other, and they certainly wouldn't easily tell each other about such a thing.
However, since the two had consummated their marriage, there should always be some clues to be found.
"Although I don't know that the woman at the bottom of the cold pool is Ning'er, I know that my Love Flower Gu has been cured, and that woman and I must have consummated our marriage. That woman will also transfer my Love Flower Gu."
Before Xuanyuan Zhan could finish speaking, Bai Shi became anxious: "You mean Ning'er transferred your Love Flower Gu!"
Xuan Yuanzhan nodded: "Yes, I had been looking for that woman because of my guilt. I found out about what happened at the dilapidated temple in the eastern suburbs that night, and I also found out that Ning'er had been poisoned by the Drunken Harmony Potion. So I suspected that the woman that night was Ning'er. Ning'er was poisoned by the Love Flower Gu and was pregnant. If the Love Flower Gu was not cured, it would be transferred to the child through the mother's body. So Ning'er has been looking for me."
Upon hearing this, Bai was shocked: "It can even transfer to the child! How could there be such a vicious Gu?"
Not wanting Bai Shi to worry, Xuan Yuanzhan quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, we went to remove the Gu poison last night, and Ning'er's Gu poison has been removed."
"Really? That's great!"
Just as Bai was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Xuan Yuanzhan say, "However, Ning'er suffered a lot because of this. She endured a lot of pain and suffering from the time she was poisoned to the time she was cured. Although the poison has been cured, there are still eight silver needles in her meridians, and her body is very weak."
Eight silver needles in her meridians? Just hearing about it made Bai Shi feel pain. She suddenly stood up: "No, I have to go see Ning'er!"
Seeing that Bai was about to go see Su Xuening, Xuan Yuanzhan quickly pulled her back: "Ning'er is resting with her master. As you know, outsiders are not allowed to go to her master's place."
Upon hearing this, Lady Bai was displeased: "Ning'er is in such a state, how can I sit still? Of course I have to go see her. Besides, how can I be considered an outsider? Aren't I Ning'er's mother? Ning'er is their apprentice, aren't we all family?"
Anyway, she treats Ning'er like her own daughter, so she's definitely not an outsider!
...What Bai said left Xuan Yuanzhan with no reason to refute it!
