Upon hearing Su Muyao's request, Su Xuening's eyes suddenly turned deep.
The onlookers couldn't help but gossip about it.
"It doesn't matter if they don't examine him during the experiment, since the imperial physicians have already checked him, and he's definitely innocent!"
"Yes, all five imperial physicians have examined it, so there's no way they've made a mistake."
"I think Su Muyao is just trying to cheat, she just doesn't want to have her tongue cut off?"
“I think we should do the test. We don’t know much about the imperial physician’s abilities, but we know very well how skilled this old woman is at examining people. She’s definitely not wrong!”
"Yes, if the imperial physician examines it like this, who knows if it's true? But if the physical examination results are true, then it must be true!"
Hearing the chatter of those ignorant women and children, the imperial physicians were nearly driven mad with anger.
Xuanyuan Peng trusted the results of the imperial physicians' examination. He frowned and looked at Su Muyao, about to reprimand her, when he heard Consort Su say, "Then let's examine her."
Like the other noble ladies present, Consort Su still trusted the physical examination more.
Originally, she wasn't that suspicious of Su Xuening. After all, judging from her sharp demeanor, even if Su Yuxin and the others really did scheme against her, they probably wouldn't be able to.
However, since their son Yu'er likes her so much, now that they have the opportunity to investigate, they should investigate thoroughly.
Su Xuening was not surprised at all by Su Fei's words.
She had long anticipated that these people would not let her off so easily!
Seeing that Consort Su and the others were making things difficult for Su Xuening, Xuanyuan Yu felt extremely sorry for her and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Mother, I believe in Cousin Ning'er, so let's not have her examined!"
Seeing how much Xuan Yuan Yu doted on her, Su Fei became angry.
That brat, who is she doing this for?!
Su Xuening was too lazy to watch the mother and son's act and said in a deep voice, "Why should she get a physical examination just because she says so? She's clearly cheating! What if she still cheats after the examination?"
Su Muyao immediately retorted, "I'm not cheating. I just don't believe the results of the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis, but I believe the results of the physical examination."
Then she retorted, "You're afraid to have your body checked, so you're not a virgin at all!"
Su Xuening didn't even glance at Su Muyao, and said coldly, "With your eloquence, why should I bother with this useless effort? You've got plenty of excuses anyway, who knows if you'll have any other excuses to renege on later!"
Hearing her repeatedly accuse her of "cheating," Su Muyao angrily shouted, "I said I'm not cheating. I believe the results of the physical examination. Our bet is valid."
Su Xuening snorted disdainfully again: "If what you said were true, you would be unable to speak now, how could you be making false accusations like this!"
"You..." Su Muyao was so angry with Su Xuening that she was about to die. She glared at Su Xuening as if she wanted to kill her!
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Consort Su spoke up: "You don't believe what she says, but surely you'll believe what I say!"
Su Xuening looked up at Su Fei without saying a word, clearly indicating that she did not believe what Su Fei said.
Seeing Su Xuening's disdainful and stubborn expression, Consort Su's face turned green again. She said in a huff, "The Emperor and I have decided on this bet. If the results of your physical examination are still the same, then Su Muyao will be punished by having her tongue cut off. The Emperor and I have spoken on this matter, and everyone present can testify to it. You can rest assured!"
Su Xuening raised an eyebrow as if she had achieved her goal and said, "In that case, Your Majesty, please send a matron to examine my body."
Unexpectedly, Su Xuening agreed so easily, and Su Fei immediately felt like she had been tricked.
However, the physical examination was still the priority, so Consort Su gave her most capable maid, Granny Jiang, a wink: "Go ahead."
"Yes," Granny Jiang replied with a bow.
Su Xuening, along with Bihe and Granny Jiang, still entered that side room.
As soon as Su Xuening entered the room, she crushed the incense stick between her fingers.
As soon as Granny Jiang entered the room, she smelled a strange fragrance. Without thinking much of it, she closed the door behind her.
"Thank you for your trouble, Granny Jiang." Su Xuening nodded to Granny Jiang.
"You're too kind, Miss." Granny Jiang bowed to Su Xuening.
Granny Jiang was Su Fei's personal attendant before. After Su Fei entered the capital, she served Su Fei and watched Su Xuening grow up.
She knew the eldest daughter's character; she was far more upright than the other young ladies of the second wife. Unless she was framed, the eldest daughter was undoubtedly innocent.
Deep down, Granny Jiang believed in Su Xuening's innocence.
Su Xuening lowered her eyes guiltily, waiting for the incense to take effect.
"This old servant will help Miss undress."
Granny Jiang stepped forward to help Su Xuening take off her clothes, but Su Xuening stepped aside and said, "Let Bihe do it, Granny, please wait a moment."
Bihe quickly stepped forward to help Su Xuening undress.
As Granny Jiang looked at the two of them, she inexplicably felt her vision blurring.
Everyone outside was eagerly awaiting the result.
In fact, when Su Xuening agreed to let Su Fei's personal maid examine her, most people present already believed in her innocence.
However, there were also some noble ladies who were jealous of Su Xuening, waiting for a different outcome.
Su Muyao glanced at Su Feiling nervously.
Su Xuening agreed to go in for a physical examination so easily; could she really be a virgin?
Su Feiling gave her a reassuring look.
Su Xuening could not possibly be a virgin, but it was her oversight. If she had known there would be such a bet today, she should have found out earlier whether Su Xuening was a virgin or not, and she wouldn't be in such a passive position now.
Half an incense stick later, after Jiang Mama finished her inspection, as the three of them were leaving the room, Su Xuening helped Jiang Mama up, saying, "Mama, take it easy."
"Hiss!" Granny Jiang suddenly felt something prick her. She looked down and saw that her palm was indeed pierced and bleeding.
As Granny Jiang looked down, she didn't notice that Su Xuening and Bihe quickly switched places.
Bihe moved to Su Xuening's position, looking at the wound on Granny Jiang's palm with concern, while extending her own finger: "Oh dear, I hurt Granny's hand. It was my fingernail that scratched her at some point, which is why I hurt Granny. Please forgive me, Granny."
As she spoke, Bihe knelt down before Granny Jiang.
Granny Jiang glanced at her, not noticing anything unusual, only thinking about the minor injury on her hand: "Never mind, you didn't do it on purpose. Go out, the Emperor and Consort Su are still waiting for the results."
"Yes." Bihe immediately got up and went to open the door.
The three of them came out of the house together.
Su Xuening remained calm, while Bihe lowered her head.
Everyone stared at the three of them.
Su Xuening led Bihe to their previous spot. Bihe lowered her eyes, desperately trying to suppress her wildly beating heart.
Granny Jiang approached Xuan Yuanpeng and Consort Su, bowed to them, and reported, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, this old servant has verified that Miss Su is indeed a virgin!"
