"I...I'm scared..."
She looked at Su Xiaoman in front of her, tears welling up in her eyes, biting her lip slightly, looking utterly pitiful.
As a mother, Su Xiaoman couldn't bear it. She quickly sat down on the side of the bed and took her daughter's hand in hers.
"Afraid? Didn't your father say he wouldn't take a concubine? And now I'm perfectly fine in the manor."
"Ha, all men are the same. Even if you don't have a place in his heart, he'll still make room for you in his household if you're pregnant with his child."
Yan Jingzhi hesitated again, "But my mother's situation is different from mine."
"Didn't Mother say that I was conceived because Father had sex with me while drunk?"
“A man cannot do that kind of thing if he is drunk. Father still has feelings for Mother… for Mother.”
"But that crown prince..."
She hadn't forgotten some modern science, and thought Yan Baihui was quite hypocritical. He was the one who had feelings for her, but he blamed it on the wine, taking advantage of the original owner's mother's ignorance.
Yan Jingzhi did not notice that Su Xiaoman, who had been so confident, suddenly panicked and then tried to remain calm.
"Alright, Zhi'er, whether there is love or not is not that important."
Su Xiaoman tightened her grip on her daughter's hand. "Some things, if you really want them, you have to actively fight for them, otherwise they will never be yours."

If her daughter could also enter the Crown Prince's Palace, what an honor that would be for her in the future.
If she could also outshine Yan Li and gain the Crown Prince's exclusive favor, then she could finally vent her anger.
Yan Jingzhi had been beaten up and her injuries hadn't healed yet, so she no longer had the courage to climb into Su Xiaoman's bed. However, she didn't refute Su Xiaoman's words.
She suddenly remembered that in the plot, one of her father's disciples had recently been imprisoned. He had been framed and wronged by the Second Prince, but had also been bribed by the Second Prince.
If I remember correctly, Wen Yichu was in charge of that student's case. Using this as a way of surrendering should hopefully earn her Wen Yichu's favor.
After making a plan, Yan Jingzhi felt more confident. Her eyes brightened considerably as she looked up at Su Xiaoman. "Zhi'er understands, Mother, don't worry."
