Childish fights led to——

Song Yixu felt her head swoon when she heard that Ying Nan had to give up his name because of his family and their stubborn insistence. She rubbed her forehead feeling sorry for her lover as she knew what it meant to give up his name. 

Ying Nan—-no, Yu Yin must have felt really disappointed in his family for him to make a decision like this and on a day like this, she was not with him. Song Yixu felt really disappointed and guilty when she thought how aggrieved Yu Yin must have felt. 

"Mistress Song, do we need to suppress this news?" asked her assistant who came with her.

Song Yixu nodded. Her mother was not a problem as she did not care whom Song Yixu married as long as she could lead the Song family. In the eyes of her mother, only competence mattered more than blood, after all, Song Yixu's father was also the child of a mer concubine and was not a legitimate son of the family he hailed from.
