I just want to live a good life

Chapter 518 Why bother?

"I never said I would help you."

Su Nuan said calmly.

"You...I have already shown my sincerity, what else do you want?"

Dong Jingshu said angrily.

"Your sincerity is not what I ask of you."

Dong Jingshu took a deep breath and said with suppressed anger: "Then what do you want in exchange for helping me?"

"Alas." Su Nuan sighed and said, "Why do you have to give birth to his child?"

Dong Jingshu was slightly startled, then angrily said: "What do you mean by this? I am his concubine, how can I bear someone else's child? Xia Qingyan, don't go too far. I came here today to make friends with you sincerely. If you treat me like this, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"Why are you so excited? I don't mean any harm to you." Su Nuan rolled her eyes at Dong Jingshu and continued, "I just feel sorry for you. Not only are you humiliating yourself by doing this, you are also ruining your happiness for the rest of your life. Why bother?"

Dong Jingshu's eyes darkened.

"Do you think that as long as you have a child, he will be close to you for the sake of the child. If it were someone else, it might be possible, but you know the temper of our prince. If you schemed to get the child from him, would he not hate you?

After you give birth to the child, he will put your child with his wife to raise. And you may never be looked at by him again.

Speaking of your child, it is said that a mother is honored by her son, but you know that His Highness cannot have only one child. Compared with your child, the child born by his beloved woman, which one do you think he likes more?

Your child will be taught to hate you as his mother because you don't get the love of his father. Will he let you rely on him? He may even wish he didn't have you as his mother. Is this the result you want?"

Dong Jingshu remained silent. This was not the result she wanted. Her parents asked her to find a way to give birth to the prince's child, saying that the prince would look at her differently because of the child and she would have a chance to win back the prince's true heart. But could she really do it?

What if things are not as my parents and I thought, but as Xia Qingyan said?

But this is really the only way for her to get closer to the Crown Prince she has been thinking about all the time. What if the Crown Prince really gets close to her for the sake of the child?

"You don't need to worry about whether it is the result I want. As long as you help me get pregnant with His Highness's child, I will form an alliance with you and ensure that the child in your belly is born smoothly."

Su Nuan knew that this person's thoughts were deeply rooted and could not be changed with just a few words, so she sighed softly and said, "I can't help you with this."

Are you kidding? How could it be possible for her to help another woman get into his bed?

"Xia Qingyan, why do you have to do this? You and I both know that His Royal Highness will have three palaces and six courtyards of men in the future. Even if I don't give birth to his children, there are many others who will give birth to his children. You can't stop it. If you help me now, I will be grateful to you and form an alliance with you to deal with that woman together. She is a concubine with no foundation and is no match for us. In the future, His Royal Highness's harem will be under your control."

"It is because I know that His Highness will have many women in the future that I kindly advise you. Clinging to a man who has no feelings for you, witnessing him marrying new people and favoring new lovers, hoping every day that he will look up at you from among those young and beautiful new favorites. Even if you get a little attention from him through the child, your life will only be filled with expectation and waiting. You will slowly fall and wither in this endless waiting."

Speaking of this, Su Nuan herself felt sad. This was her future.

Dong Jingshu felt a chill in her heart after hearing these words. She should have expected such a result. Her father was a notoriously henpecked man. Others envied her mother for being strong and able to control her own man. Little did they know that her father no longer had any feelings for her mother. He kept one mistress after another outside. Her mother's life seemed glamorous, but only those who were close to her could understand how it felt.

My mother was my father's legally married wife, and she gave birth to two children, but it was still like this. I couldn't imagine my future as a concubine who had to use tricks to give birth to children.

At this moment, Dong Jingshu hesitated. She felt that what Xia Qingyan said made sense.

However, she was already the Crown Prince's concubine and had no choice about her future.

"Besides giving birth to a child to rely on, what else can I do?"

Su Nuan thought for a moment and replied, "If I were you, I would find a way to leave."

"Leave? Leave where? The Prince's Mansion?"

Dong Jingshu couldn't believe her ears.

Su Nuan nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, that is to leave the Prince's Mansion and leave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If he doesn't like me, I will go find someone who can live in harmony with me. Life is short, why should I sacrifice my life's happiness for one person."

"But, but I am already the Crown Prince's concubine!"

"I have money, it's not hard to find a place to live in anonymity."

"But how can I leave? Daddy will never allow me to be divorced. Besides, there is no precedent for a prince divorcing his wife!"

Su Nuan was tired and didn't want to persuade her anymore. Either she would have a baby or be divorced. What was going on in this woman's mind?

"Why don't you go back and think about it carefully, and don't rush to make a decision."

Dong Jingshu nodded, then stood up and left.

After sending the person away, Su Nuan was already so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting each other. She simply washed up and went to sleep.
