Su Xuening looked at Su Feiling's bewildered state with a look of mockery in her eyes.
Wasn't she trying to drive her to her death?
She wanted to see how she would escape this dead end.
Su Huiyan didn't notice Su Feiling's unusual behavior, but she disagreed with Su Xuening's suggestion and jumped up: "Su Xuening, I have already apologized to you, why do you still want to humiliate Ling'er!"
"Humiliation?" Su Xuening laughed upon hearing this. "Consort Su, you're using the wrong words. How can having the imperial physician check your pulse be considered humiliation? Isn't that what you just had the imperial physician do to me? Why is it considered humiliation when it's the Third Prince's concubine's turn? Is my Holy Prince's Mansion a lower class than the Third Prince's?"
Don't even mention how much the Emperor dotes on my mother and Xuanyuan Zhan now!
Even if the Emperor favors Su Huiyan and Xuanyuan Yu, the status of the Holy Prince's Mansion is by no means lower than that of Xuanyuan Yu!
After all, Xuanyuan Zhan was a first-rank prince, while Xuanyuan Yu hadn't even been granted the title of prince!
Bai was too good at cooperating with Su Xuening, and immediately looked at Xuan Yuanpeng with displeasure: "So in the Emperor's eyes, our Holy Prince's Mansion has such a low status!"
Bai's sarcastic remark startled Xuan Yuanpeng: "What are you talking about? When did I say that the Holy King's Mansion was of low status?"
He never thought that way. Haven't his performance over the years been obvious enough?
That means he's trapped in this palace; otherwise, wouldn't he have moved to the Holy King's Mansion long ago?
Fearing that Bai would be angry, Xuan Yuanpeng wanted to coax her, but seeing so many people in the room, he couldn't openly coax her. He could only say, "Isn't it just a matter of having the imperial physician check your pulse? Aren't all the imperial physicians here? Let them check!"
Upon hearing this, Su Feiling tensed up instantly, her palms already raw from being poked.
My mind, which had been blank just moments before, was now racing, trying to figure out how to evade the inspection.
Before she could come up with a solution, Su Huiyan started making a scene: "No way! Our Ling'er is innocent, why do we need to check her?"
Upon hearing this, Bai was furious and glared at Su Huiyan, saying angrily, "What kind of talk is this? Our Ning'er is even more innocent, yet you still have to check her over and over. Why shouldn't these two Su family girls be checked?"
Oh, before, when they wanted to investigate her Ning'er, she had all sorts of excuses. Now that they want to investigate her niece, she's making a fuss again. She's said everything by herself. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Seeing Bai Shi glare, Su Huiyan also glared back: "That's because our Ling'er doesn't have those messy things..."
"What a joke!" Before Su Huiyan could finish her rant, Madam Bai immediately retorted, "You make it sound like our Ning'er has something going on. Our Ning'er has been dignified and proper since childhood, and she was completely innocent before entering our Holy Prince's Mansion. On the other hand, the two Su family girls were not innocent before entering the palace, and now they are carrying the imperial heir, so they should be thoroughly investigated."
It has to be said that Bai Shi seized on the fact that Su Feiling had plotted to submit to Xuan Yuan Yu before entering the palace to marry him, which left the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law speechless!
Su Feiling didn't say anything to refute Bai Shi, mainly because she didn't have the face to refute her.
She had no other choice at the time, so she resorted to that desperate measure. If she had any other option, she wouldn't have lost her virginity before the wedding, which is why she is now inferior to others and can't even speak with authority!
"Bai Fuya, are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?!" With so many people watching, Su Huiyan felt she had lost face, and she was not about to give in easily.
Bai retorted, not to be outdone: "Didn't you start this trouble first? What, are you saying that officials can set fires but common people can't even light lamps?"
Bai's words resonated deeply with those around him.
This Consort Su is really unreasonable. Before, when she was pregnant with the Holy Princess, she forced the Holy Princess to have the imperial physician examine her, and she was quite eloquent. But now that the Holy Princess wants the Third Prince's concubine to examine her, she refuses.
Su Huiyan felt the strange looks around her and pouted unhappily, saying, "Yes! I misunderstood Su Xuening before, but that was because her belly was too big, which is why we misunderstood. Didn't I already apologize to her just now? I'll post another apology notice later, what more do you want?"
Su Xuening nodded in agreement: "Consort Su is right. We can't just let the imperial physicians examine her so casually. How about this, if the imperial physicians find that there is no problem with the Third Prince's concubine's period, then I can apologize to her. Our Holy Prince's Mansion can also issue a notice to publicly apologize to you. Is that fair?"
"..."
Su Huiyan was speechless, and her gaze toward Su Xuening became even sharper.
That brat's vengeful nature hasn't changed at all!
Even though she knew there was no problem with Ling'er's pregnancy, she was willing to apologize and have the imperial physician examine Ling'er. She just had to stand up for herself.
Madam Bai chimed in, deliberately speaking sarcastically, "That's right, they say our Ning'er's belly is big, but I see that the two Su women's bellies aren't small either! Shouldn't they be checked properly too?"
As soon as Bai opened her mouth, Su Huiyan shot her a sharp glare.
Why is there this annoying woman everywhere?!
No matter how much they argue or make a scene, they are all surnamed Su and are still family. How dare she, an outsider, interfere!
No matter how sharp Su Huiyan's gaze was, Bai Shi was not afraid of her and continued in a sarcastic tone: "Why are you dragging your feet like this? Could it be that you really have something to hide, which is why you refuse to let the imperial physician examine you?"
Su Xuening almost couldn't help but laugh when she heard Bai Shi deliberately mimicking Su Huiyan's speech.
Dealing with someone like Su Huiyan really requires Mother Consort to retaliate in kind, it's just too funny, especially seeing Su Huiyan's face which is blacker than splashed ink, it's even harder to hold back.
Bai's words immediately drew everyone's attention to Su Huiyan and Su Feiling.
It's just a simple check-up, why are Consort Su and the Third Prince's concubine making such a fuss? Is there really a problem with the baby's gestation period?
Some even started to sympathize with Xuan Yuan Yu, as if they had already confirmed that there was really a problem with the child in Su Fei Ling's belly.
It has to be said that Bai's provocation had some effect, especially with the strange looks from so many people around, even Xuan Yuanpeng cast a suspicious glance at him.
Having become absolutely certain that there was nothing wrong with Su Feiling's baby, Su Huiyan couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out, "What secrets do we have! Let's get a test..."
"Big sister!" Before Su Huiyan could say "Let's do the test," Su Feiling suddenly stood up, walked to Su Xuening, and knelt down in front of her, supporting her pregnant belly. "I was also saddened by my mother's death, so I misunderstood you, big sister. I was wrong. I apologize to you, big sister. Please understand my grief over losing my mother and forgive me this time."
