"If a bastard is born, what good girl can he marry?"
Su Qingyu understood. Reputation was the most important thing in the capital. If the news of Shen Zhao and Cheng Rujin got out, their marriage would indeed be a bit troublesome.
If the family background is not so good, there are many who are willing to do so, but Chen is definitely not willing to do so.
Shen Ying glanced at Su Qingyu and muttered, "It's all her fault. Otherwise, how could my brother..."

The old lady was a very astute person and immediately understood what was going on. It was obvious that Cheng Rujin wanted to be known as a filial son but didn't want to actually kneel down, so she used the pregnancy as an excuse.
