Dongfang Ruoli turned pale at Dongfang Wanqing's question and she swallowed down a choked breath. "Auntie, you can't blame me for this. Over the past three years, Lu Yeming has refused to let me go near him, and he has never slept with me. How am I supposed to get pregnant on my own?"
"What in the world are you saying? You have not slept with Lu Yeming yet? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Why hadn't she said anything? It was because Dongfang Ruoli did not dare to speak up. She was afraid that if she did, she would be of no value.
She didn't even dare to tell Dongfang Wanqing that she and Lu Yeming had not registered their marriage. That Lu Yeming had only given her an empty title.
If not for the fact that she could no longer keep this a secret, she would never have said it out loud.
"Auntie, I am sorry."
