"You still dare to speak!" Mu Lianrong immediately directed her criticism toward Mu Qingge.
Mu Xiong’s face was also gloomy. The tight corners of his mouth seemed to show that he was struggling to suppress the anger in his heart.
In his view, since Bai Xiyue’s father died saving him, the Mu Mansion was responsible for taking care of her for life. Unlike Mu Lianrong, he hadn’t thought of marrying Bai Xiyue to Mu Qingge. He simply felt that Bai Xiyue was like his own granddaughter. When she reached a marriageable age, finding a good family for her, with the support of the Mu Mansion, this poor child could have a happy life.
"Why wouldn’t I dare to speak?" Mu Qingge said calmly.
Her gaze slowly shifted away from Mu Lianrong and landed on Mu Xiong, as she said with neither humility nor arrogance, "Even if someone is to be sentenced to death, they should at least know why they are being condemned, right?"
Mu Qingge’s calm and composed demeanor took Mu Xiong by surprise.
In his stern eyes, there seemed to be a flash of doubt.
"Your grandfather is too lazy to speak to you, so I will." Mu Lianrong, comforting Bai Xiyue in her arms, spoke to Mu Qingge: "Let me ask you, you took Xiyue out and not only failed to take care of her, but also let her get hurt. That’s already a mistake. Afterwards, you left her halfway and focused only on escorting Princess Changle back to the mansion. Such disregard for priorities, is that what a man should do?"
Mu Qingge listened, narrowing her eyes, her gaze shifting within the slit.
She remained silent, but Mu Lianrong took her silence as an admission of guilt and proceeded to reprimand: "Princess Changle has hands and feet, and a large entourage of guards and maids accompanying her. Does she even need you to escort her? Xiyue grew up with you, even if you had no special intentions, she counts as your sister. How could you leave her in the clinic without a second thought?"
Without a second thought?
Mu Qingge’s gaze shifted gently, landing on Bai Xiyue, as cold as frost. The latter, however, still looked aggrieved and didn’t even glance at her.
She strode forward, confronting Bai Xiyue coldly, asking, "I ignored you?"
