"What kind of idea?" Rong Qiu asked while furrowing his eyebrows in confusion.
Yao Ling didn't know anything about the rules of nobles or officials' household, so she could only listen to both men talking while her eyes kept darting around between the two of them. It would be better if she stayed quiet on the side.
Rong Heng answered, "Just spread to the outside world that Yao Ling has saved your life and you want to take her in as your legal daughter and already gain my permission."
"But... about her background?" Rong Qiu still felt that it didn't make any difference.
"We can use 'showing gratitude' as a reason to evade their accusation. Could we choose our own benefactors' background? We couldn't, right?" Rong Heng answered with a soft smile. "Besides, in this way, Yao Ling could become the Di Daughter as well and no one would ask a question about her mother."
