"Mu Nan, did you really take my words lightly? Didn't I tell you to stay away from him? Do you have a bad memory, or do you think you have grown too powerful and dare not listen to me?" The third elder scolded angrily, and in his anger, he didn't even give Mu Hanyan any face.
No wonder he was so angry. He had just taught Mu Nan a lesson yesterday, but just one night, just a few hours later, he was hanging out with Mu Hanyan again.
Judging from the way he followed Mu Hanyan's lead, it was clear that he was following her lead. He didn't know what kind of magic potion this dandy disciple had given his precious sixth son to make him so obedient. As far as he could remember, Mu Nan had never been so respectful, even to himself.
The third elder became angrier the more he thought about it, and he hated Mu Hanyan so much that he would not give him any face.
"Grandpa, Brother Hanyan is really not what you think. You all misunderstood him." Mu Nan didn't want to argue with him, but seeing that he was humiliating Mu Hanyan in his words, he couldn't help but say it.
Although Mu Nan had a volatile personality, he was extremely filial and was very observant, which was why he was generally well-liked by the Third Elder. This was the first time someone had dared to contradict him, knowing he was angry. The Third Elder was so angry that his white beard trembled.
"You've really grown wings. You actually dare to talk back to me!" The third elder raised his hand in anger.
Mu Nan was so frightened that he closed his eyes and shrank his neck. The Third Elder's slap did not fall after all.
It is said that the emperor loves his eldest son and the people love their youngest son. The third elder really loves his youngest grandson very much. No matter how naughty he is, he is reluctant to harm him.
"Never mind, never mind. You're old enough now, and I can't control you anyway. Take care of yourself. I mentioned yesterday that old friend might be coming today. I'll arrange for him to host a banquet tonight. Remember not to embarrass me." The Third Elder said listlessly. Although he didn't slap Mu Nan, it seemed he was extremely disappointed in him.
"Grandpa..." Mu Nan wanted to say something, but he stammered and didn't say it in the end, biting his lips stubbornly.
The third elder was even more disappointed. He sighed and turned away.
"Xiao Liu, I'm sorry that you were scolded by the Third Elder. Actually, you didn't have to speak for me." Mu Hanyan said in a low voice.
Being the son of an aristocratic family may seem like a life of luxury, but behind the scenes, there are countless conflicts of interest. After all, even the wealth of a family is vast, and no matter how rich it is, it cannot be squandered at will. Being favored by the elders means receiving more resources and a greater chance of future success. Disappointing the elders may lead to a lifetime of uncertainty.
Even if Mu Nan hadn't spoken up for her, or even yielded to the Third Elder and distanced himself from her, Mu Hanyan wouldn't have blamed him. Yet, he remained unwavering and continued to stand by her side. Even though Mu Hanyan had experienced so much in her past life, and had become less trusting and less willing to open up to others, Mu Nan's actions had moved her.
"Right is right, wrong is wrong. Brother Han Yan is not what they think he is. Even if I can't prove anything for you, I will never go against my conscience." Mu Nan said firmly.
Mu Hanyan was stunned, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
