"You feel embarrassed now, but it's too late! You said you are old, why do you have to be a thief? Forget it, seeing your age, you are probably confused and have gone astray due to the need to make a living. As long as you hand over the token honestly, I might be able to plead for you in front of the master of the family and let you go." Mu Hanyan shook her head and said with pity.
“Puff.”
“Puff.”
"Pfft." Although they knew they shouldn't laugh, and although they really didn't want to, some people couldn't help but laugh out loud at the sight of Mu Hanyan's sympathetic eyes. This was the Supreme Elder who had always been high and mighty, holding absolute authority in the Mu family. Not only was Mu Hanyan rebuked, but she also turned the tables on him, so cleanly and effectively that everyone almost believed it was true.
The eyes of the Grand Elder were about to spit fire. He had clearly vomited more than a dozen mouthfuls of blood just now, so why did he feel like vomiting again?
Mu Hanyan sighed secretly. With her personality, she actually wanted to make such an old man angry.
But this cannot be blamed on her. With her sharp senses, she had already noticed something when the Supreme Elder, Mu Beichen and others were hundreds of feet away.
She also heard with her own ears that the Grand Elder summoned all the clan members to come and challenge the culprits.
She knew what the Supreme Elder was planning. If she hadn't already had a plan to deal with it, once the Supreme Elder and the Third Elder took the initiative, she wouldn't even have the chance to defend herself and would be thrown directly into the abyss.
Even if many people knew that something was wrong, they would not be able to defend her in this situation. In the end, not only would she suffer greatly, but her grandfather would also be in great trouble.
This is the intrigue and deception among the aristocratic families. Although there is no sword or saber, it is even more dangerous.
Since the other party was so ruthless, how could she be polite to him? Mu Hanyan was determined not to show any mercy to the other party.
"Hanyan, don't be rude." Seeing that the Supreme Elder was so angry that his face turned purple and his whole body was shaking, Mu Beichen quickly stepped forward, stood between him and Mu Hanyan, and shouted at Mu Hanyan.
Although Mu Beichen's face was tense, there was an unconcealable smile in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were twitching slightly.
The head of the Mu family wanted to laugh, but he knew that he must not laugh, otherwise the Grand Elder might lose his temper on the spot, and of course he might also be angry to death on the spot. Whether for the sake of Mu Hanyan's life or for the sake of the Grand Elder's life, he could only endure it, endure it, and endure it, and it was very difficult to endure.
"This is not some old thief, but the supreme elder of our Mu family. Come over and apologize." Mu Beichen blinked at Mu Hanyan with a look of satisfaction and relief.
Faced with the aggressiveness of the Supreme Elder and the Third Elder, he was at a loss. He knew that if they took the initiative and directly threw the dirty water of stealing the Supreme Elder's order on Mu Hanyan, she would not even have the chance to defend herself and would not be able to wash herself clean.
Even as the head of the family, he couldn't think of a good way to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, Mu Hanyan did not retreat but advanced, and took the initiative right from the start. Inadvertently, she completely dissolved the overwhelming momentum of the Grand Elder and the Third Elder. The Grand Elder, who had originally wanted to call for an explanation, was left dumbfounded by Mu Hanyan's scolding and sarcasm. A big show of calling for an explanation turned into a farce.
After hearing what Mu Beichen said, the Supreme Elder felt dizzy.
Just state my identity. Why add that I'm not some old thief? It sounds like you're trying to cover up something.
Neither of these two people, the grandfather and the grandson, are good people!
Sure enough, after hearing the implication that there was something fishy going on, the calm elders of each family could still hold back their laughter, while the smiles on the faces of the younger generations became even wider.
"So it's the Grand Elder. I didn't know you were so honored to visit me. I'm so sorry for not being able to greet you from afar." Mu Hanyan was shocked, and her frosty face immediately turned into a warm spring day. Her smile was as bright as it could be and she was as respectful as she could be.
For some reason, the Supreme Elder felt somewhat relieved when he saw Mu Hanyan's smiling face that was as bright as spring breeze. It was probably because he had been hit too hard just now. It always felt especially sweet to be beaten with a stick and then have a sweet treat.
"As early as when I was in Black Stone City, I heard that the Supreme Elder was upright and incorruptible, with a keen eye for right and wrong. He treated the younger generation with care and concern, never bullying the young or the weak, and had no airs of an elder at all. Seeing him today, I know that what he said was true." Mu Hanyan said with a righteous face.
No matter what, she had just scolded the Grand Elder and thrown dirty water on others, which was not justifiable. If she said disrespectful to the elders, she would be in big trouble. So Miss Mu put a lot of high hats on the Grand Elder's head first, to see if he would be embarrassed to lose his temper.
"Hanyan, you are right. The Supreme Lord is upright and fair in judging right from wrong. He is strict with himself and lenient with others. He is especially generous to the younger generation. He is well-known not only in our clan, but also in the entire capital." Mu Beichen could see what his precious granddaughter was up to, and immediately echoed.
"Yes, yes, it's a blessing for our Mu family, the capital, and Anyun to have such a righteous, magnanimous, and generous Supreme Elder." Mu Zexian and the other younger generations were all full of admiration. When they talked about Anyun's blessing, they were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes.
Mu Hanyan got goosebumps all over her body. It was An Yun's blessing, but you guys were so shameless in flattering him.
Zirong also had a look of emotion on his face. Children of aristocratic families were really different. Look at how he flattered others. He discarded the dross and retained the essence. Every word he said hit the nail on the head. He was truly better than his teacher. Even he felt ashamed of himself.
Whoever said that playboys have no future, he thinks these little playboys have great prospects.
"Ahem..." The Supreme Elder blushed secretly. Others might not know what kind of personality he had, but didn't he know it himself? Although he didn't think he was selfish or narrow-minded, the praise for being upright and magnanimous seemed a bit exaggerated when it came to him.
But who doesn't like to hear good words? Being praised so highly by the younger generation, and then being looked at with such admiring eyes, he felt as if he had drunk ice water on a hot day, and his whole body felt uncomfortable.
I had originally wanted to bring up Mu Hanyan's disrespect for elders, but now I feel embarrassed to bring up this matter again, otherwise I would not be worthy of the word "magnanimity".
"Grand Elder, I was too impatient before, and I had never met you before, so I caused a misunderstanding. I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against me." Mu Hanyan saw that her flattery had worked, so she quickly took advantage of the situation.
