Bai Qingyan deliberately added Sima Ruodan at the end of the imperial edict, to remind Sima Yan and also Xue Renyi.
If Xue Renyi cares about his fiancée, he should take note of Sima Ruodan when he sees this name, as it is indeed uncommon.
If Xue Renyi doesn't mind who his wife is, then it's fine, as Bai Qingyan noticed A Qi seems to take care of this Sima Ruodan as well.
Regardless, it's important to reveal the truth to those involved at the time.
Moreover, Bai Qingyan had already investigated the wrongful case of Sima Ruodan's maternal family from years before, which was similar to what happened to Jian Congwen at the hands of Consort Tong, being removed for obstructing her path.
Therefore, irrespective of whether A Qi and Sima Ruodan become a couple, just for the merit Sima Ruodan earned in the capture of Yecheng Pass, it's enough for Bai Qingyan to clear her mother's name, and restore Sima Ruodan's reputation.
