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.

Jiang Ruobai choked up, "Why... didn't you say something earlier?"


"You were thinking about me, I understand."  Lin Zizi glanced at the dining table outside the room, her eyes filled with tenderness.


There, Jiang Ning was sitting at the table, having soup.


Lin Zizi smiled, "Old Master, I understand your concerns. That's why I don't blame you for sending Ningning to the selection. I just feel bad for her. She just got back, and she didn't have much time to stay by my side."
