Upon hearing this, Madam Song turned pale. She was not a foolish woman. She had experienced half a lifetime, what kind of storm hadn't she seen? She could naturally guess Ji Xinhe's meaning.
Song Yalin had been delayed by the Great Prince for five years before she could cancel the marriage. Her reputation was almost ruined. Now if she does not get married and stays at her maternal home, outside gossips may begin to question the reason for Song Yalin's cancelled wedding. They may wonder if the problem lies with Song Yalin herself.
And what could make a girl so afraid to get married again after cancelling a wedding that she would rather hide at home? It must be the loss of her chastity.
The mere thought of this possibility scared Madam Song so much that her legs trembled. It was not an exaggeration. As long as Song Yalin continued to stay at home without showing any intention to get married, all sorts of rumors might start pouring in.
