If Sir Hu had been willing to show weakness, to admit his daughter was at fault first, and to accept Mo Yan's proposal, this matter could have been glossed over. However, given the disgraceful actions of his family previously, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to swallow his pride and bow to the Mo Family.
In the end, Sir Hu, without even saying goodbye and with a somber expression, led his reluctant wife, daughter, and a group of servants away from the Mo Family home amid the awkward stares of the onlookers.
This interlude came to an end with the departure of the Hu family members. The other guests, as if nothing had happened, crowded around Mo Qingze and Cui Qingrou to offer their congratulations.
