Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Jiang Ning limped out of her quarters one day and entered the Jiang family's second courtyard, just as the Emperor was selecting a concubine for Prince Yu.  Noble ladies from high-ranking families put in their best efforts to participate in the selection, but the flower fell on Jiang Ning, who was merely there to watch the spectacle.  Jiang Ning was confused. She dared not let Prince Yu be a scapegoat, so she tried every possible way to tell everyone she was pregnant. However, no one believed her.  When she vomited after eating, they laughed at her for feigning illness. When she felt tired, they laughed at her for pretending to be delicate. When her belly grew larger, they laughed at her for overeating.  When Jiang Ning wanted a doctor's confirmation, all eighteen doctors she consulted had the same opinion: "You're just eating too much!" The fifth prince, Prince Yu, was a dashing and handsome young man. He exuded an air of sophistication and regal beauty. This was how the common people of Chang'an City typically described him.  But the real Prince Yu was cold and ruthless, using women without any emotional attachment.  He knew that the second madam of the Jiang family was the Emperor's secret love, and he also knew that the daughter recently brought back by the Jiang family looked exactly like the second madam in her youth.  So, even though the girl had a limp, he still tossed the embroidered flower in his hand into her lap.

She reached out to pull Mu Jian's collar.

As expected, the areas hidden by his clothes were torn and bruised.

"Cover it up," Jiang Yi said, fearing that his sister would be disgusted by the gore. He pulled up Mu Jian's clothes.

Jiang Ning asked, "Are these just superficial wounds?"

"Does Seventh Sister think his injuries aren't serious?"

"I just think that merely superficial wounds wouldn't be enough to make Mu Jian talk."

"Heh," Jiang Yi laughed, "How could there be only superficial wounds when Sister Fu herself was holding the knife?"

"Sister Fu?"

Jiang Ning was startled.

Was it really that quiet, submissive, and clean woman she had just met?

Jiang Yi seemed to see her thoughts and laughed, "Don't underestimate Sister Fu; she is not an ordinary person."
