Old Master Lian erupted, and no one dared make a sound; they all stopped eating and turned their gazes toward Lady Gu and Lady Chiang.
Lady Gu and Lady Chiang, both feeling embarrassed and awkward, exchanged glances before Lady Gu, as the elder mother-in-law, broke the silence.
"Father, it's, on the road, the, the children accidentally took a fall, and the food, the food just spilled..." That was all she could say before she lowered her head again.
The mud prints on Lian Yeye's and Lian Duoduo's bodies indeed looked like they had taken a tumble.
"You, you lot, the only thing you were asked to do was bring back the meal, and now tell me, what can you do!" Old Master Lian was so angry his chest heaved, as he pointed at Lady Gu and Lady Chiang with his finger.
Lady Gu and Lady Chiang leaned on each other, both lowering their heads as they wiped away tears.
