"Since you've already defended Mu Yuting in such a manner, I'll give you some face and let them go today." The anger in Mu Taijun's heart subsided. He thought back on what had happened and felt that the punishment they had received was severe enough.

"Then your son will thank mother on behalf of the Yu clan and Qiantang." Mu Chengbai immediately felt relieved, and the nervousness that was weighing down on his heart disappeared as well. He thought it would take a long time before he could persuade Mu Taijun to change his mind. He never expected things to progress so quickly.

Once Mu Taijun gave the order to agree to Mu Yuting and Yu Qing's awakening, a servant boy immediately passed on the news.

Yu Qingye was still the matriarch after all. Even though he had been suppressed by Mu Taijun recently, there would come a day when he would be able to make a comeback. Mu Lutong was also the eldest daughter who had ascended the throne. Her status in the family was extremely high, so they couldn't be disrespectful to her.

Upon hearing that Mu Taijun allowed Mu Luan to stand up, the Blue Luan hastily went forward to help her up. "Miss, your servant will help you rest in your room. Wait for me to fill a basin with hot water and help you wipe it off. "

With the help of the Blue Luan, Mu Yu Ting slowly stood up. Because she had kneeled on the ground for too long, her legs felt weak, and she almost lost her footing.

After a long while, the aching pain in her legs slowly subsided and she could barely walk.

"No need, Blue Luan." Mu Yu Ting shook her head and did not enter the house with the Blue Luan's help. "We'll return to the house later. I need to go to the Grand Lord's house first."

This was the best time to make her suffer. Jiang Chenbi was the best at crying to others, so wouldn't she be able to learn from him?

The Blue Luan was startled and began to suspect if her ears had misheard. Mu Qianyu's expression was firm, not like she was looking at a joke. Her eyes were wide open, and astonishment was written all over her face. "Miss, why did you think of going to the Grand Lord's place?"

Mu Yu Ting looked in the direction of Mu Taijun's courtyard. With her red lips parted, she said only two words, "Apologize."

"Apologize?" The Blue Luan was at a loss. In the past, the young miss would never have taken the initiative to apologize to others, especially when it came to matters she believed to be completely correct.

However, very quickly, the image of Mu Taijun punishing Mu Qiantang appeared in the Blue Luan's mind. Thinking back to how furious she had been that morning, it made her anxious.

"Miss, the Grand Preceptor has always disliked you the most. It's now difficult for you to avoid punishment, so why do you have to show your face in front of her again? "Wouldn't it be …"

However, no matter how nervous the Blue Luan was, Mu Luan was certain of this matter and was unwilling to change her mind. As a maid, the most the Blue Luan could do was persuade Mu Qiantang to stay by her side, but it couldn't help her make a decision. Thus, it could only obediently comply.

The guards at the entrance of Mu Taijun's courtyard couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw her. If it was Jiang Chen, they wouldn't be surprised. After all, Jiang Chen was someone who was willing to be under the tutelage of Mu Taijun.

However, if it was Mu Qiantang, things would have been different on the other side. It was needless to say that Mu Qiushan held a high position in Mu Taijun's heart. Even from the fact that she didn't greet him, it could be seen that their relationship wasn't that good.

"This …" One of the servants nudged the person beside him, seemingly at a loss of what to do. "Should we just let the young lady in, or inform Matriarch Mu first?"

The other manservant shook his head, not knowing how to respond. While the two of them were at a loss about what to do, Mu Lutong had already brushed past them and arrived in front of Mu Taijun's house.

A dim yellow candlelight shone from inside the room, displaying Mu Taijun's black silhouette to the window, allowing Mu Qiuting to observe his movements.

"Miss, since you are already here, why don't you go in?" The Blue Luan stopped at the window of the shop, as the feeling of puzzlement in its heart grew stronger.

Mu Yu Ting didn't answer. She took a few steps forward and knelt before the window where Mu Taijun was. This action immediately caused the Blue Luan to be stunned on the spot and it did not know how to react for a moment.

"Grand Lord, granddaughter Mu Lutang has specifically come to apologize to you." Mu Qiushan kowtowed as she spoke, "Your granddaughter has something to say to Matriarch Mu."

Mu Taijun was in the room chatting with Jiang Chenbi. When he heard the commotion outside, he felt confused. After a while, he asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Mu Yu Ting didn't care whether Mu Taijun saw it or not. She lowered her head with a look of remorse and vexation on her face, "My granddaughter, after today's punishment, has reflected on her own actions. She feels that she has let down not only her little sister, but the Mu family as well."

The smile on Jiang Chen's face froze as he looked out of the window. She didn't know why, but in her heart, she was particularly panicked. She had the nagging feeling that Mu Yuting was going to say something unfavorable to her.

"Oh?" When Mu Taijun heard this, his interest was piqued. "How can you be apologizing to Chen Bi and the Mu family? Say it out loud for me to hear."

She had lived for so long that she had many things to self-reflect on. However, it was rare for her to see someone's affairs involved the family level.

"Although my granddaughter is not in a good mood, this is only my granddaughter's private matter. As a guest of the Gu Estate, her younger sister deserved the highest treatment. And the granddaughter vents her emotions on the younger sister, this is the first mistake. "

Mu Yu Ting's words were extremely forceful, as if these were things that she had been thinking about for a long time. Her voice also contained a faint apologetic tone, and she sounded especially sincere.

Mu Taijun nodded, but didn't know if it was possible. He continued to ask, "What about the second mistake?"

Mu Yu Ting kowtowed heavily again. Her expression became more and more serious, her voice became much louder, and she sounded extremely resolute.

"My granddaughter is the eldest daughter of the direct line, and she also represents the Mu Estate's image. Her every move should be restrained, so as to avoid discrediting the Mu Estate. But my granddaughter's actions not only let me down for my upbringing, but also for the responsibilities I bear on my shoulders. "

Mu Taijun was moved. She didn't like this direct daughter of hers because of Yu Qingye's relationship, but after hearing her words, she felt a favorable impression towards her. It was very different from being ignorant at all.

Jiang Chen was relieved to hear this news. Even though she was also a bit surprised that Mu Yu Ting would say such words to her, she stopped thinking about it when she saw that she didn't bring the matter to bear on her.

Mu Taijun signaled for Night Jade to help her to the door. She looked at Mu Luting, who was respectfully kneeling on the ground, and remained silent for a moment. After a long while, she said, "Stand up first."
