Jiang Jin wore a proud expression on her face as she held the hand of Song Ning who was standing behind her. "I raised Mu Chen so he's naturally filial to me. Even the woman he married is to my liking."
Ding Hong and the others' expressions turned sour. They looked at Mu Lan meaningfully as though indicating she should speak up.
Mu Lan said with a faint smile on her face, "Aunt Jiang, we've had a close tie with the Ye family for generations now. Now that the Young Master of the Ye family has gotten into politics, we can't underestimate the power of a marriage alliance. Mu Chen, he… I'm just worried the Ye family will be offended that he abandoned Ye Xin… Oh, Aunt Jiang, Mu Chen is young, and I'm sure he's worked hard to reach where he is today..."
Everyone was listening intently to Mu Lan, waiting for her to finish her word.
