"I really don't know what to say about you..." After holding back for a long time, Mrs. Mu finally spoke with an air of heartbreak and disappointment. She finally simply threw up her hands and declared, "I'm not going to interfere anymore. When your father returns tomorrow, I won't stop him, no matter how he scolds or punishes you!"
The tears Mu Xiangwan had finally managed to hold back on the journey welled up and trickled down her cheeks. It was unclear if it was a sudden realization of her mistakes or her mother's harsh words that scared her.
"What are you still standing there for? Go wash up! Look at yourself, do you resemble a daughter of a respectable family at all? Can anyone tell the difference between you and a beggar?" Mrs Mu, who had always doted on her daughter, was so exasperated she didn't hold back.
