Hearing Shu Wan's words, Xu Yinjia looked at her with some surprise, "You are quite clever."
She hadn't expected that Shu Wan, who seemed clueless, could actually be so savvy.
"Before entering the palace, my father taught me that being of low status, I must learn to obey," said Shu Wan. "Only by obeying will I have a good future."
Such honesty from Shu Wan seemed to dispel Xu Yinjia's suspicions. She signaled to her personal maidservant with a glance, and the maidservant quickly brought over a bowl of medicine.
"Do you know what this is?" Xu Yinjia asked Shu Wan.
Shu Wan nodded, "I know."
Xu Yinjia's brows lifted slightly, "Then tell me, what is it?"
"It's sterility medicine."
Xu Yinjia's eyes sparkled slightly, "Are you willing to take it? In this harem, as long as you have children, you have a foundation to stand on. Don't you want to rise to a higher position?"
