Upon hearing this, Mu Yuying and the others' expressions changed slightly, and the expressions of the other family members also turned less cheerful. They hadn't thought much of it at first, simply feeling that the two elders' lecture was quite reasonable. Even if Mu Hanyan couldn't complete the task, she should have just said so. She shouldn't have feigned injury to avoid punishment. Moreover, she had no respect for her teachers and actually acted so coyly in front of the elders and the head of the family.
But after hearing this, I felt that the Second Elder's actions were a bit despicable. Even if he disliked Mu Hanyan and wanted to find an opportunity to deal with him, he shouldn't have sent his own children to die. As a fellow Mu family member, who would be willing to be betrayed like this?
"Nonsense, I just heard the news, and I knew nothing about this person before. How could he let you go and die." The second elder saw that the younger generations were looking at him with strange eyes, and realized that he had said something wrong because of his complacency, so he hurriedly explained.
"Second Elder, since you have received the news and know how powerful Yan Yuchu is, you should have sent someone to pick us up immediately. However, you sat back and watched, allowing us to risk our lives outside. When you saw us return safely, the first thing you did was not to care whether we had any casualties, but you couldn't wait to punish us according to my family rules. Second Elder, what is the reason for this?" Mu Hanyan's tone suddenly became stern.
The Second Elder was speechless. Mu Hanyan's words hit the nail on the head. Their younger generations were out there, facing life and death. If things went wrong, they, as elders, should have sent someone to help. How could they disregard their lives and only think about finding fault with them and punishing them according to family rules?
After hearing what Mu Hanyan said, not only did other people look at the Second Elder with even more strange eyes, but even he himself felt that it was a bit hard to understand.
However, the Second Elder felt a bit wronged. In the past, whenever a member of the clan went out on a mission, he was always terrified and ready to send support at any time. However, this time, he was so eager to get hold of Mu Hanyan and wished him bad luck that he didn't send anyone to help as usual.
But the other younger generations didn't think so much. The way they looked at him was obviously less respectful than before, and more suspicious.
Seeing their questioning looks, the second elder's face turned red.
I originally wanted to deal with Mu Hanyan, but I didn't know that Mu Hanyan was fine, but my reputation would be ruined in an instant. Oh, I was too impatient, too impatient. How could I accidentally lift a rock and shoot myself in the foot?
The Great Elder also glared at him. This second-in-command was still too impatient. The situation was originally going well, why did you reveal Yan Yuchu's strength? Didn't this give Mu Hanyan an opportunity to make excuses?
When did Mu Hanyan become so powerful?
"Mu Hanyan, don't think that you can escape family discipline by your eloquence. It's ok that you failed to complete the task this time. After all, the opponent is too strong. But you insisted on pretending to be injured to prevaricate. You are disrespectful to your elders and deceive your superiors and subordinates. How do you explain this?" The first elder knew that he could not let Mu Hanyan hold on to the second elder, so he ignored his affairs and questioned Mu Hanyan loudly.
All the Mu family members looked at Mu Hanyan with sympathy. It didn't matter if he failed to complete the task when he met a master at the level of swordsman. But he was so smart as to pretend to be injured. Isn't this asking for trouble?
"Great Elder, Han Yan did not lie. He was indeed injured, and I can testify to this." At this moment, Mu Ziqing's voice was heard in the carriage.
