Bo Jiu feigned innocence and easily amused Old Madam Bo, causing her to smile warmly.
Bo Huaijin finally found some peace and seized the opportunity to approach Qin Yiren, saying kindly and gently, "Girl, it's been a tiring journey. We never expected the old lady would intercept you halfway here. It's a mistake on both mine and Jiu'er's part, please don't mind."
"I understand, Uncle."
Qin Yiren gave an embarrassed smile, "You don't need to go out of your way to explain to me. I understand the old madam's concerns. Besides... even though she misunderstood me, some things she mentioned are indeed true."
The tradition of marrying within one's social rank has been a staple in China for thousands of years.
Putting aside Bo Jinghang, she didn't have the confidence that the old lady would take a liking to her, or the assurance she'd change her old-fashioned views for her sake.
