They didn't conceive a child on the date the Elder Queen mentioned. Wouldn't that mean they were breaking faith with the public, or worse, even deceiving them!
Moreover, they simply couldn't have a child...
"Yeye!" Helian Chengyan turned to face her, his hands on her shoulders, his expression serious. "What my grandmother did was indeed inappropriate. But if we were to hold a press conference now, saying that what my grandmother said was untrue and that we won't have a child, it would not only provoke public speculation but also belittle what my grandmother had said!"
He paused, then continued, "You know, my grandmother's health is poor, and she cares greatly about face saving. If we publicly refute her words, it would certainly agitate her immensely!"
"So, are we just going to let people assume that we're trying to conceive? What if we can't produce a child later?" Chi Xingye's frown deepened.
She knew that her grandmother's health was poor and that she couldn't be provoked!
