Her gaze shifted and fell upon Elder Master Jian's face.
She had grown up by Elder Master Jian's side since she was young and understood him better than anyone else.
Elder Master Jian would absolutely never allow the Jian family's bloodline to be cast adrift.
In this lifetime, although she couldn't have Jian Shichu's love, as long as she bore him a child, her child would be entitled to a significant inheritance from the Jian family.
She would rise in status by virtue of her child, receiving the protection of the Jian family and becoming one of the most prestigious women in the entire Empire Country.
Although she was in great pain for not having Jian Shichu's love,
it didn't matter.
Having Jian Shichu's power and ensuring her child would become a thorn in the heart of the woman Jian Shichu loved seemed quite satisfying.
If she couldn't have it, she would rather destroy it than let anyone else have it.
