Mrs. Qiao received the news from a subordinate sent by the Zhongwu Marquis Mansion.
The matter had not yet reached the pregnant Ji Qingrong; Lu Juan had secretly sent someone to inform them.
Mrs. Qiao said, "It was during this morning's court session. Wei Ting requested a marriage from the Emperor, saying with his own mouth that he wants to marry you."
The astonishment in Ji Qingwu's heart had not yet faded when another bolt from the blue struck.
Wei Ting had actually pleaded his case before the Emperor, in front of the entire court.
And what's more, he did it right in front of Emperor Wu Su, claiming the child as his own.
Ji Qingwu was deeply shaken.
'For him to take the blame like that, right in front of the child's real father... She had to wonder if Wei Ting had suffered some kind of trauma over the years that had left him mentally unwell.'
Yet, when she had seen him in the palace, he still had that same bright and noble appearance.
