In the hall of the Old Mu Family, Mu Danian knelt before Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu, crying his eyes out:
"Father, Mother, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have done such a heartless thing.
I caused Mother to take the blame and be criticized, and Father to worry because of my actions. I am unfilial, please punish me."
Mr. Mu said nothing, but held his dry tobacco pipe tightly.
Occasionally, taking a puff, the smoke exhaled was thick and somewhat choking.
Mrs. Liu, closest to Mr. Mu, coughed a few times from the smoke, immediately drawing an angry glare from Old Mrs. Mu.
Mrs. Liu instantly cowered, afraid to move an inch, even her breathing became much lighter than usual.
After seeing Mrs. Liu calm down, Old Mrs. Mu started eyeing Mu Danian. Although she stared at him, her gloomy eyes didn't show hatred towards Mu Danian.
In fact, whether Mr. Mu punished Mu Danian or not didn't matter to her.
On the contrary, she was waiting for Mr. Mu to speak quickly!
