"I..." Qiao Bing wanted to retort.
"You're at an age where you can discuss marriage. A legitimate family wouldn't want a child born out of wedlock; it tarnishes the family's reputation." You Yiyi interrupted Qiao Bing.
"..."
Qiao Bing remained silent.
She wanted to marry into a good family.
"Just tell everyone your mother passed away, and you grew up with relatives, and now the Qiao Family has found you. Back then, your mother and father had you by accident. This way, your mother gets a decent reputation, it's better for you too. At least no one will attack your birth and identity by mentioning your 'deceased mother'." You Yiyi said.
The deceased are revered.
People are generally more forgiving toward the deceased.
Qiao Zhenghao was silent. As You Yiyi put it... he thought this method was good. It would benefit both Qiao Bing and Qiao Qian greatly.
Qiao Bing was silent. She... also thought You Yiyi made a lot of sense.
"Mom is still alive." Qiao Qian said.
