"The illegitimate daughter?" Ouyang Qian's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
Lai Sheng Xia placed the exquisitely carved ivory porcelain teacup back on the saucer and hummed in affirmation, "The public doesn't know Ah Li is Dad's daughter, so we'll just say she is a niece. As long as we treat Ah Li as a close kin, hardly anyone will truly care about whose daughter she actually is."
Ouyang Qian, "You want her to marry Han Jifeng?"
Lai Sheng Xia did not deny it.
"I disagree!" The thought of Tang Li becoming the wife of a governor made Ouyang Qian's face darken, "An illegitimate girl with an improper background, you want her to become a lady official, isn't that just asking for ridicule?"
"I never said they had to actually get married."
Compared to her impatient mother, Lai Sheng Xia remained unhurried, "The 'marriage' I'm talking about is merely letting Dad set up an engagement for now."
