Chapter 744 - What Is Status? (2/2)

Of course she knew it was impossible, but the first demand in a negotiation had to be a high enough condition to intimidate the other side, to prevent them from thinking it would be an easy discussion and that you would accept whatever random terms they put forward.

“That’s impossible. At most, she’ll be a concubine.” Lu Fenying refused.

According to the rules of Heavenly Wind Empire, the crown prince could have one royal consort, four wives, and countless concubines.

The t.i.tle of a concubine would be nothing more than acknowledging that Qian’er was his woman and not just a slave.

It gave her the right to carry his baby.

It actually didn’t give her any honor at all.

Gu Bailu smiled. “It seems Your Highness isn’t sincere. A concubine doesn’t even have the qualifications to raise her own child. You’re going to let Qian’er be wronged like this?”

Lu Fenying didn’t think it was a big deal. “Her ident.i.ty is just a t.i.tle. What’s the point of haggling so much? Who can do anything to her with me around?”

Gu Bailu smiled mockingly. “Ask yourself honestly, hasn’t Qian’er been bullied enough? What scar on her body wasn’t caused by her ident.i.ty? If the crown prince is so stingy with giving your woman an ident.i.ty, then there’s nothing to discuss. I will never let Qian’er go back with you to be beaten and cursed, or to not even be able to keep her child after it’s born.”

Gu Bailu stood up. “Please go back, Your Highness.”

“Wait, I will take Qian’er back with me.” Lu Fenying was very certain and firm on this point.

Gu Bailu sneered. “So, you would rather fight Prince Zi than give Qian’er an ident.i.ty?”

“Of course not.” Lu Fenying simply felt that a t.i.tle wasn’t a big deal.

Even as a maid, Mo Qian’er had the best food and clothes, and she was even the only one to sleep in his bed.

This was all honor and favor. Many people couldn’t even ask for this, so why should she care about status?
