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.

Jiang Ning quickly helped her up. "Aunt Liu, you shouldn't do this. You are one of my elders. Over the years, when I was not at home, my mother was not in good health and you were the one taking care of the household. You have worked hard."

Ms. Liu felt slightly ashamed: "No, I didn't do well."

When Jiang Ning got lost at the age of three, it was Jiang Ruobai's fault. He felt so guilty that he could not face Lin Zizi.

Lin Zizi held a grudge against him and refused to see him. Her mental state deteriorated over time.

Jiang Ruobai outwardly favored Aunt Liu and Fifth Daughter, but in truth, it was just a way to divert his deep sense of guilt and pain.

This led to the arrogant and domineering attitude of Jiang Yuan.

It also gave Aunt Liu the false impression that she had more authority than Lin Zizi, the legitimate wife.
