Moreover, she was willing to keep this matter to herself! If there were a child, she would silently give birth without letting anyone know who the father was.
At that time, Lady Mu's heart softened, and she agreed.
However, not long after Du Ruoning became pregnant, Lin Ziqing discovered it!
At that time, Lady Mu felt utterly ashamed!
Even if she didn't much like Lin Ziqing, knowing that Lin Ziqing had found out about this, she felt too ashamed to face it!
However, she chose to support Du Ruoning because back then, Du Ruoning's sweet words could turn her head! Even if, in Lin Ziqing's eyes, she had become someone who encouraged her adopted daughter to crawl into her son's bed, she had to bear it!
Moreover, she needed to protect the Mu family's reputation!
So, the child in Du Ruoning's belly became an illegitimate child with an unknown father!
