Su Huiyan stiffened her neck and snorted, "I didn't bully her. Now, even Granny Jiang said that she might have made a mistake. Whether Su Xuening is a virgin or not, no one can say for sure."
As Su Huiyan spoke, she glared at Su Xuening.
It's all in the past now, who can say for sure? She herself can't produce any evidence!
Su Huiyan's shameless words instantly angered Madam Bai again: "Su Huiyan, you really know how to twist the truth! Anyone can understand what your nanny meant, yet you still manage to call white black. You really have no shame!"
This damned woman doesn't treat Ning'er like a niece at all! She's really pushing Ning'er to her death!
"Mother." Seeing how angry Bai was, Su Xuening felt a pang of sympathy.
She had long seen through the ugly faces of Su Huiyan and Su Renyi's family, and was no longer bothered to be angry.
Since they schemed against her, she would retaliate fiercely. They didn't treat her like family, and she would never let them get away with it!
Xuanyuan Zhan felt even more sorry for his wife and mother. He glared coldly at Su Huiyan and warned, "Mother, there's no need to say so much to them. As long as I know that Ning'er is innocent, that's enough. Why waste time saying all this nonsense to them!"
Seeing Xuan Yuanzhan interrupt, Su Huiyan became even more emboldened and directly mocked, "Some women are very good at deceiving people. Holy King, don't be too naive. Confusing the royal bloodline is a serious matter!"
"..."
Su Huiyan's words left Bai Shi and Su Xuening speechless.
If you're a crow yourself, don't laugh at others for being black.
Others might say such insults to them, and they'd just swallow their pride and accept it. But what right did Su Huiyan have to say such things?
Xuanyuan Yu doesn't even know if he's Xuanyuan Peng's bloodline yet, how dare she say such a thing!
Su Huiyan insulted Su Xuening time and time again, and Xuan Yuanzhan could no longer tolerate it. He drew his sword and pointed it directly at Su Huiyan: "Try insulting my queen again!"
The gleaming silver sword tip instantly terrified Su Huiyan, turning her face pale. She dared not provoke Xuan Yuanzhan any further, and instead turned to Xuan Yuanpeng, sobbing aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, look at Xuan Yuanzhan! He dared to lay a knife on me! He has no respect for elders and no regard for the law! You still allow such a person to bring weapons into the palace? If he dared to lay a knife on me today, he'll dare to lay a knife on you in the future. Do you still want to keep such a person by your side to handle state affairs?"
Xuan Yuanpeng glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan's murderous gray eyes and knew he was truly enraged. He turned and glared at Su Huiyan unhappily: "Enough! How long are you going to keep making trouble? Zhan's wife has already proven her innocence. Why are you still saying these things?"
Who wouldn't be angry if someone repeatedly humiliated another man's wife? Especially since Zhan'er dotes on his wife so much.
How can she blame others for stabbing her? They're so ignorant!
Xuan Yuanpeng never helps her, making Su Huiyan feel increasingly aggrieved: "What proof of innocence? Granny Jiang just said that she might have made a mistake."
Seeing that she was still pressing the issue, Xuan Yuanpeng wanted to roll his eyes: "What about the imperial physicians? Did they also make mistakes?"
Does she think the imperial physicians in his palace are just for show?
Xuan Yuanpeng's words were meant as a reprimand, but Su Huiyan pretended not to understand and instead went along with him, saying, "That's right. If you want to know if the imperial physician made a mistake, then just have the imperial physician examine it again."
As she spoke, Su Huiyan glanced contemptuously at Su Xuening's belly: "How many months pregnant is Su Xuening now? The imperial physicians will know once they examine her!"
Upon hearing Su Huiyan's words, Bai became furious and retorted, "Su Huiyan, who gave you the nerve? You keep asking for tests, what do you take our Ning'er for?"
Who does she think she is, always checking herself up? Why doesn't she check herself up too?
Su Huiyan humiliated her again and again. Su Xuening's eyes sharpened, and after a moment she touched her belly and looked at Xuan Yuanpeng with a wronged expression: "Your Majesty, I have no lover at all. They have been framing me before I was married. I proved my innocence. After I married the prince, they still framed me. Now they are humiliating me like this. I think it is unnecessary to have the imperial physician examine my pulse. They will not admit the result even if they do. I might as well die to prove my innocence!"
As Su Xuening spoke, she crashed into the large red pillar next to her.
"Ning'er, no!" Madam Bai was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Even though she knew Su Xuening might be acting, she was still terrified and her face turned pale.
Xuan Yuanpeng and Xuan Yuanyu were also startled by Su Xuening, and both of them stood up from their chairs at the same time.
Xuan Yuan Yu, in particular, rushed out to try and catch Su Xue Ning, but Xuan Yuan Zhan didn't give him the chance at all.
Just as Su Xuening was about to crash into the pillar, Xuan Yuanzhan stopped her and pulled her into his arms.
Although Xuan Yuanzhan knew that Su Xuening was probably acting, he was still so frightened that his heart stopped when she rushed out.
Xuan Yuanzhan hugged Su Xuening tightly, still shaken: "Ning'er, how could you be so foolish? Why risk your own life and our child's life for the sake of those insignificant people's words?"
Xuanyuan Zhan even touched Su Xuening's belly, as if to comfort the baby inside her.
Su Xuening looked at Xuan Yuanzhan with red eyes: "Your Highness, they are trying to drive me to my death!"
Seeing Su Xuening like this, Xuan Yuanzhan felt his heart break: "Don't pay attention to them. No one in the world knows your innocence better than I do. I know you are innocent."
Even if Ning'er was truly innocent and pure, and the child in her womb was indeed his, it wouldn't change the fact that Ning'er wasn't a virgin, and that the man in the icy pool wasn't him, but another man.
After all, Ning'er was framed by them and did that to save her life. She was also a victim, and he would never blame her! He would still love her as he does now!
Lady Bai breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a pang of heartache, and said, "I also believe in your innocence!"
As Bai spoke, she swept her sharp gaze across Su Huiyan and the others opposite her, and said sternly, "Furthermore, let's see who dares to force you to your death today! People like this who spread rumors and slander others' innocence should be killed as an example to warn others, no matter how many! That Zhong Shi deserves to die! Our Ning'er is innocent, and if anyone dares to throw mud at our Ning'er again, I will kill them! This is Zhong Shi's fate!"
When Bai Shi lost her temper, Su Feiling and the others were still somewhat afraid.
But Su Huiyan wasn't afraid at all, and even sneered, "So much acting, just because you're afraid to get tested? If Su Xuening isn't afraid to get tested, then she's not innocent!"
Seeing that she still dared to say anything more, Xuan Yuanzhan swung his longsword again, pointing it directly at Su Huiyan's throat: "Su Huiyan, you're courting death!"
