When Qingyou heard her ask, she looked up and said with a guilty expression, "I... I have failed in my parenting. I'm sorry."
The original owner of this body loved Huo Jiwen, so she didn't tell anyone about his previous fuss about wanting to break off the engagement for Shi Lingqiao. She even issued a gag order in the Duke's mansion, forbidding anyone from mentioning or spreading the news.
Although Shi Lingqiao and Huo Jiwen often met in private, Shi Lingqiao did not want to damage her reputation, so she was careful and even asked someone to help cover it up. Therefore, outsiders and the Qiao family did not know about their affair.
The original owner of this body once believed that family scandals should not be aired in public and that everything should be kept secret within the family.
But Qingyou was different; she wanted to air her dirty laundry in public.
Shi Lingqiao was like that before. After marrying into the Duke's mansion, she deliberately ruined the original owner's reputation in the capital.

Qingyou didn't hide anything and sighed, "Jiwen met a merchant's wife outside and became infatuated with her. Recently, he has been coming to me every day, making a fuss about breaking off the engagement and wanting to marry that woman."
“When I objected, he talked back to me.”
“What’s more, last night I threatened him with the title of Duke. If he wants to break off the engagement and marry that woman, he can forget about the title of Duke in the future.”
Her eyes reddened, and she took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes. "I never thought that for that woman, he would actually be so stubborn as to say that he didn't want the title of Duke. He only wanted that woman."
"He even said that if he didn't marry that woman, he would never get married again in his life, which made me furious."
She wouldn't cover for that ungrateful bastard.
According to her, the engagement must be called off, but the woman should take the initiative to back off by pointing out Huo Jiwen's mistakes, and then she should stand up and express her support, so that Qiao Xinyue's reputation will not be damaged.
