"How can you be so disrespectful? How dare you speak to your elders like this?"
Han Yongmei's accusing tone made Mu Lan involuntarily laugh.
"Mom, you just said we are family, I'm just telling it like it is.
Shouldn't adults face the consequences of their own actions? Isn't that right?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Qitang became anxious. What did she mean by that? Did she really not want to drop the charges so her precious son would have to go to jail?
"You have such a vicious heart! Are you so eager to see your cousin behind bars?"
"Aunt, what you're saying isn't right; it's not that I want my cousin to go to jail, it's the law."
Mu Lan wore an innocent face, her tone somewhat aggrieved.
Huo Qitang was so angry that she became incoherent, throwing etiquette aside and saying whatever ugly thing came to mind.
"If your cousin ends up in jail and this scandal gets out, how does the Huo Family losing face benefit you?
