"Ah, Grandfather, why are you here too?" Mu Nan was pointing at Mu Hanyan, laughing wildly, when his laughter suddenly stopped.
"How disgraceful, how disgraceful indeed. As a son of the Mu Family Patriarch and the City Lord, how can you commit such uncivilized acts at your own doorway, causing me to lose all my face?" The Third Elder, shivering with anger, pointed at Mu Hanyan and scolded. The look he gave Mu Nan was full of disappointment.
Oh no, why didn't I notice him earlier? This incident unfortunately happened right in front of him, Mu Hanyan thought. Now her reputation in the Third Elder's eyes couldn't be any darker; not even jumping into the Longyan River would cleanse it. It didn't matter much that she was misunderstood, but it could implicate Mu Nan too.
"Grandfather, it isn't what you saw," Mu Nan said softly, trying to explain for Mu Hanyan. His voice was so low, filled with the embarrassment of being caught, that he himself felt it hard to provide an explanation.
