After resting at home for a week or so, Jian QianNing left for work. After the incident with Young Master An, her colleagues treated her a lot better, at least on the surface. Only Wang Qi liked to put on a disdainful face and mock her out of jealousy.

Jane Qian Ning had never cared about these things. No matter how many people talked about her in private, she didn't care.

When she got off work earlier that morning, she suddenly remembered that she had promised Murong Xiushu that she would visit her often. However, due to her injuries, she hadn't seen her for quite some time, so she decided to pay a visit to the villa by the sea.

Along the way, the taxi driver kept observing her in the rearview mirror. As the car rolled past the pleasant sight of the coastal road, he could not help but gossip, "Miss, do you live there? That's a mansion that the imperial family spent more than three hundred million to build. It's definitely very beautiful inside. If we open it up as a resort, it would definitely be very popular … "

"I don't live there." Jane Qianyu smiled. She never thought that this beach house would be so valuable. No wonder that Madam Yu was so angry. She folded her arms across her chest and stared out the window at the choppy sea.

When Qian Ning went to the villa by the sea, Rong Xiushu was in the garden arranging flowers. When she saw her, she smiled happily, "Qian Ning, I was wondering why you haven't come to see me in such a long time. Have you forgotten about my old bones?"

"Mom, I'm sorry. I've been really busy these past few days." Jian Qian Ning smiled as she went to welcome her and sat down beside her. She didn't mention that she had been injured and felt that it was unnecessary. She had never reported anything back.

Rong Xiushu put down the scissors and grabbed her hand. "Are you exhausted?"

"That's not true, it's not like it's hard work." She picked up a freshly cut rose and placed it to her nose to sniff at it. Immediately, a refreshing fragrance filled her nose. It was a very beautiful smell. She really liked it, but she had never received it before. Young Master An had never given her a rose, not even a red, white, and blue one.

In her entire life, she was destined to only wait until she was in a good mood. Then, she would plant a garden for herself and admire it!

"How is it? Has Tian Heng treated you better? " Rong Xiushu continued asking with concern.

Qian Ning nodded her head as she placed the alluring red roses back on the table.

Rong Xiushu didn't need to look at her expression to know that she was comforting her. What personality did Yu Tianheng have? As a mother, how could she not know? It was definitely not that easy to compromise.

Rong Xiushu gave a faint sigh and said gently, "You don't have to hide it. He treats you badly. I know him."

"He thinks that I am a vain person, but actually, I can't blame him for that. Marrying me was never his own intention."

"Qian Ning …" "I know you're not that kind of person. If you were, you wouldn't have given up such a large sum of money to run away with your pregnancy."

Jian Qian Ning's heart skipped a beat as she sized her up in astonishment. After a long while, she opened her mouth and asked the doubt in her heart, "Mom, how did you know that I abandoned such a large sum of money and ran away? "Who told you that …?"

She couldn't be blamed for being surprised, because she had never told anyone about surrogacy. Even when Wang Xinfeng had gone to the royal family to collect money, she had never mentioned surrogacy. Wang Xinfeng herself also said that she wasn't a fool. If the imperial family knew that they had run away after getting pregnant, it would be great if they didn't teach her a lesson. It was simply impossible to get the money.

She herself, in the past few days, had never dared to mention her surrogate pregnancy to the Imperial Family. She would rather Yu Tianheng think that she was pregnant with his seeds of ingenuity, and fortunately, the Imperial Family's master had never seen her, so no one could recognize her.

Rong Xiushu realized that she had said something wrong and was tongue-tied. Faced with the shame and coldness in Jian Chen's eyes, she had no choice but to admit it, "Qian Ning, you must really want to know why the Yu Family found someone to impregnate them, right?"

Jian Qian Ning's heart trembled. This matter … She was indeed curious, and really wanted to know why Yu Tian Heng was still so young. He hadn't even gotten married yet, yet he had already found someone to conceive with him. This matter was indeed rather strange.

Rong Xiushu smiled bitterly. She took a light breath and continued, "You should despise me if you say it. You should despise me."

"Mom, go ahead." The more Rong Xiushu said it, the more she wanted to know the truth. This truth that she had never dared to explore turned out to be hidden on Rong Xiushu's body!

"I was the one who planned the surrogate pregnancy. Although I've never seen your real person, I liked it when I saw the photo. "I want Tian Heng to get married and have kids as soon as possible, but he's always had a mental barrier in his heart and never wanted to get married. In this situation, I had no choice but to hide it from the Imperial Family and find a substitute to conceive with …"

"What magic barrier?" Jian Qian Ning couldn't help but interrupt and ask.

Rong Xiushu thought for a moment and shook her head. "I'm not too sure either. According to his attending physician, he's always having nightmares about strange things, especially when he's with women …"

She did not understand, because she had never heard Yu Tianheng speak of it before.

Seeing her silence, Murong Xiushu said softly, "I've already lost my whole life. I don't want Tian Heng to lose his as well, so I want him to get married and have children as soon as possible. Qian Ning, do you understand?"

"I don't understand." Jian QianNing shook her head, "You will only harm Tian Heng, me, and the children. Of course, I know that I have no right to blame you. Previously, agreeing to become a surrogate pregnant was something I and you wanted to do. But Tian Heng is very innocent …"

"If Tian Heng didn't give birth to his son soon, sooner or later, he would be swept out of the palace by the Imperial Concubine. How long could Lord Yu protect him?" Rong Xiushu suddenly became excited, her eyes full of indignation. "Madam Yu is a cruel and scheming person, and the son she gave birth to is definitely not someone who is easy to deal with." And what can I do? "All I can do is force him to live in the Imperial Family forever, force him to be a member of the Imperial Family. If he leaves the Imperial Family, then he will have nothing left!"

"But Tian Heng would rather live here. Living there is always depressing for him."

"Before Old Master Yu separates the Yu clan, he must be a part of their family, even if he has to suppress them to the point of death!"

Jian Qianyu sucked in a breath. She didn't expect the seemingly gentle and kind Rong Xiushu … To have such ambition in private, this really wasn't like her. She was looking for a surrogate to conceive for the sake of the Imperial Family's property!

"Young Master An isn't that kind of person." All that she could say was this sentence of consolation. She believed in Young Master An, but ever since ancient times, the number of rich family's children fighting over wealth was countless. Even if Rong Xiushu didn't believe it, it would be hard for her to believe that Young Master An wouldn't fight with him to the death when that moment came.

Even if Young Master An didn't fight for it, what about the Imperial Madame? Would she be unfaithful? She shook her head and sighed.

"Qian Ning, you must despise me very much, right? I have forced you to marry a man you do not love, and to face the cold words of the heavens every day. I am too selfish. I only care about Tian Heng. He grew up being hurt. I can't bear to see him hurt again. What I'm fighting for is all for him to have a good life in the future, and this old bones of mine has been sick all year round, the dirt has almost reached the top of his head, so what's the use of having more glory? "

"Mom …" I don't hate you. " Jian Qian Ning patted her hands to comfort her. She felt pitiful for her parents, as she could feel the truth of the matter. It was as though something had choked her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe.

She finally understood why Rong Xiushu insisted on rushing Yu Tian Heng, Zhe Zhe, and Qing Xin over to the palace despite the fact that she was clearly very lonely. So it was for the sake of the imperial family's property and status, she had put in a lot of effort.

She had no right to hate anyone. The reason why she got pregnant was to treat her father's illness. Unfortunately, her father left in the end!

"Mom, I'll go get you a glass of water." Qian Ning blinked away the mist in her eyes. In order to adjust her emotions, she chose to escape. Grabbing the cup of water from the table, he turned around and walked towards the main house.

She went to the kitchen to get a cup of warm water. When she came out, she saw a familiar car slowly driving in. It was Yu Tian Heng's car. Ever since she and Xin Xin had moved to the Imperial House, he had been swapped for this two-car RV from a premium sports car.

The car slowly stopped in front of her, followed by Yu Tian Heng's long figure stepping out of the car, Jane Qian Ning's hand holding the cup tightened. Every time I look at him, I feel heartache. Why is it always like this?

At this time, Yu Tian Heng also saw her, his face as indifferent as ever. She took the initiative to speak, using her lower jaw to point in the direction of the garden, and said, "Mom is in the garden, you go over there to look for her."

"En!" Yu Tian Heng gave a token "En" before he turned and quickly walked into the garden. Jian Qian Ning followed behind him and saw that Rong Xiushu's sad face had relaxed as she saw Yu Tian Heng. She revealed a gratified smile.

"Tian Heng, you're here." Murong Xiu smiled as he greeted her. Then, he picked up the scissors again and started cutting them.

Yu Tian Heng sat down on the seat that Qian Jin had just sat on and asked with concern: "Mom, are you feeling better today?"

"Much better." She went back into the house and poured a cup of warm water. She placed it on the table in front of Rong Xiu Shu and Yu Tian Heng and said with a smile, "You guys chat. I'll go make some red bean porridge."

The red beans were good for her illness. The last time she had made it, she had enjoyed it a lot. Hearing that she wanted to make some red bean porridge, Rong Xiushu immediately nodded. "Okay, make more. The red bean porridge is quite tasty. Let Tian Heng have some."

Qian Ning nodded her head as she left the garden, watching her fall further and further away. Rong Xiushu said with a smile on her face, "Qian Ning is a medical worker, so she knows everything. I don't know what benefits Red Bean's illness has."

Yu Tianheng only smiled but did not speak. Rong Xiushu's favorite thing to do was to praise her in front of him, but after hearing so much, he didn't think much of it. This made Rong Xiushu very unhappy, but there was nothing she could do about it.
