After a period of recuperation, Bai Tian Guo's health gradually improved. The red spots on her body and the swelling in her private areas slowly subsided.
During this time, Gu Qian Ying suddenly realized that it might be an allergic reaction. She reasoned that a person in a melancholic environment, with a disturbed mind, could also experience bodily irregularities, the most common being allergies.
She questioned Bai Tian Guo about what she had done before falling ill. Because the illness had come on suddenly, Bai Tian Guo remembered very clearly. She recounted everything she had done and eaten.
To confirm her theory, Gu Qian Ying had Bai Tian Guo try everything again, even revisiting the places she had been. However, in the end, Bai Tian Guo's condition did not worsen. Instead, due to her improved mood and the rare occasion of going out, her illness actually improved slightly.
Gu Qian Ying was perplexed. She was certain Bai Tian Guo's condition was an allergic reaction. She felt Bai Tian Guo was hiding something and therefore questioned her again, with great seriousness.
"Miss, this matter is of great importance. What exactly did you experience that day? Why are you unwilling to speak of it?"
Bai Tian Guo clearly remembered telling everything she should have. She pulled at her hair, thinking for a long time. After a considerable pause, she finally recalled hazily that she had done one more thing that day. However, it was a private matter, and she felt hesitant. She mumbled softly, "That day, I had intercourse with my husband. Besides this, I can't think of anything else."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qian Ying's confusion was instantly cleared. She had found it strange that an allergic reaction would involve her private areas. Now she understood why.
"So you didn't take any precautions that day, like using a fish bladder or anything similar?"
Bai Tian Guo's face immediately flushed red, and she shyly shook her head. "We wanted to have a child, so we didn't do anything."
Gu Qian Ying suddenly understood and said seriously, "I think I've found the allergen for that area."
"Ah?" Bai Tian Guo looked surprised.
Gu Qian Ying slowly revealed, "The allergen should be..."
It was the man's essence. Gu Qian Ying deliberately lowered her voice, as it was a matter of the boudoir and should not be known by others.
Hearing this, Bai Tian Guo's heart turned cold, and she shook her head in confusion. "Is there anything that can be changed?" She truly did not want to become a pariah in this life because of a man, looked down upon and scorned by others.
Gu Qian Ying lowered her gaze. Others were born for each other, but these two seemed destined to miss each other, never meant to be together. She pondered for a while, recalling all the complaints Bai Tian Guo had made to her in recent days, as well as the heartlessness of her husband's family. She felt that a certain method might be feasible.
"Do you still have feelings for your husband now?"
Bai Tian Guo shook her head quickly without a second thought, saying coldly, "This man abandoned me, insulted me, and didn't care about me. I truly have no feelings for him. But all of this is because he was unrighteous first."
At this moment, Bai Tian Guo understood Gu Qian Ying's intention. She quickly stood up and said, "I think your idea is excellent. I will divorce him immediately. I won't let him harm me."
Gu Qian Ying nodded approvingly. "Good. No matter what, I will stand by you."
Bai Tian Guo let out a laugh. "I knew you would make such a decision."
Bai Tian Guo's divorce caused a great stir, even prompting the family elders to intervene and advise against it. However, the outcome remained the same. Bai Tian Guo still chose to divorce that man. Their hearts were no longer aligned, and any further insistence would be futile.
Bai Hong was left with no choice but to agree, but he was anxious and could not rest easy. If Bai Tian Guo divorced and her condition did not improve, who would she marry in the future? This was simply a waste of time.
Bai Cai Yun seized this opportunity to add fuel to the fire. "Father, Mother, you don't know, but this matter was orchestrated by Gu Qian Ying. I told you both earlier that this woman is no ordinary person. She is someone close to Bai Yu Feng. This woman is doing this deliberately."
Upon hearing this, Bai Hong flew into a rage. He was filled with regret, thinking that if he had known, he would never have let Gu Qian Ying into the house. Now that she was causing chaos in the household, he would not let Gu Qian Ying off the hook. He rushed to Gu Qian Ying's place with great urgency.
As Gu Qian Ying was about to stand up, the guards accompanying Bai Hong surrounded her. He stood before Gu Qian Ying, his demeanor arrogant and furious, his eyes seemingly carrying ice blades, piercing forward. He clenched his fists and asked coldly, "It was you who incited my daughter to divorce. Who gave you the courage? Who gave you the right?"
He pressed forward, repeatedly questioning Gu Qian Ying. "Don't forget, I asked you to come to cure the illness, not to cause trouble."
Bai Cai Yun chimed in, "Father, don't forget, you came with intentions. If this person isn't causing trouble, wouldn't it be a waste of her efforts?"
Gu Qian Ying gave a cold smile. So, they had come to trouble her today.
"Speak, what is going on? What kind of bewitched nonsense have you fed my daughter?"
Gu Qian Ying sighed. Seeing the crowd before her, she frowned. This matter was difficult to explain, especially concerning someone's reputation. After a moment of thought, she spoke cautiously, "I can explain this matter, but I would ask Master Bai to have these people withdraw. Let's speak privately, so as not to embarrass us."
Bai Hong was in a fit of anger and accustomed to being held in high regard and flattered. Therefore, he paid no attention to what Gu Qian Ying said. His momentum only grew more imposing.
"You shut up! Do you have a say here? Kneel down, kowtow and apologize, and resolve this matter. Otherwise, even if you cure my daughter's illness, I will not let you go."
Bai Cai Yun smiled smugly, glancing at Gu Qian Ying from the side. "Oh, oh, oh, now you're getting what you deserve! You always treated people like dirt. Let's see how arrogant you can be in front of my father."
Gu Qian Ying let out a cold laugh and raised her hand, slamming it onto the table. Her voice was indifferent. "Master Bai, I respect you, which is why I am not being presumptuous in front of you. But please be aware, this is your daughter's own choice, and it has nothing to do with me."
Bai Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he angrily pointed at the person before him. "If you hadn't repeatedly instigated her, my daughter would never have made such a choice." Facing Gu Qian Ying's attitude, he became even more enraged. The arrogance within him surged, and his imposing aura rushed forward, shouting fiercely, "Die."
Facing the pressure, Gu Qian Ying slightly restrained her internal energy. To avoid being harmed, she had to dodge to the side, bypass the threshold, and escape. Bai Hong continued to pursue her. "You dare to run? If you fall into my hands today, I will absolutely not let you off."
