Old Master Mu's words were harsh. Owing to Mu Guo's indiscretion, Old Master Mu had always been very tolerant of Duan Si. For more than 20 years, he had almost never said harsh words to her. Even when they gave Mu Ci's medicine to Mu En back then, he only scolded Mu Guo and did not reprimand Duan Si.
Today, it was obvious that Old Master Mu was extremely dissatisfied with her.
However, Duan Si felt extremely aggrieved. This son of hers had never been close to her. Even if she was a little biased towards her youngest son, she was still his biological mother. A son should never bear grudges against his mother.
Song Nan persuaded her gently, "Auntie, let's go back first. Grandpa Mu is here, so don't worry. I'm sure Mu Ci will be fine. Don't always scare yourself. Why don't I accompany you to pray to Buddha? We'll ask Buddha to protect Mu Ci."
Song Nan's timing was just right. Duan Si said softly, "Dad, in that case, I'll go back first."
