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.

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.

It was a look she had never shown when facing him before.

This hurt Li Hongyuan deeply.

The tender thoughts that had welled up in his heart vanished in an instant.

But he wasn't willing to let her go just like that.

He still held her down, coldly and fiercely kissing her.

Because of his ferocity, he even bit her lips, causing them to bleed.

Her mouth was filled with the taste of blood.

"Ouch!" Jiang Ning pushed him away with punches and kicks.

"If you resist, I will send someone to kill Wenren Zong." Li Hongyuan said coldly, "You know, it's very easy for me to do this. I could even kill him in front of you after he comes back."

Jiang Ning's hands slowly dropped, and then she lifted them again to slap him hard across the face.

Li Hongyuan was stunned, "You…"

Jiang Ning looked at her palm, rubbed her wrist, and seemed to feel not quite satisfied, as if she wanted to slap him again.
