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.

The fifth prince, Prince Yu, was a dashing and handsome young man. He exuded an air of sophistication and regal beauty.

Aunt Liu sighed, not knowing what to say.

A married daughter is really like spilled water, and as her aunt, she couldn't lend a helping hand. Besides, she was a concubine and didn't have the right to do so.

If her daughter suffered any grievances in her husband's family, she could only ask her legal mother to intervene.

Aunt Liu realized now that no matter how much she was doted on or how domineering she was, she was just a concubine. Outside, she was no better than a lowly servant.

Her daughter's in-laws would definitely not take her into consideration.

They would only acknowledge Madam Jiang as their mother-in-law.
