Beside him, the Third Elder had a pained expression, deeply empathetic to the Supreme Elder's frustration. He secretly thought to himself: I told you not to bicker with him, but you didn't listen. Now look what happened, a single misspoken word and an entire year's stipend was swindled away by someone else.
Only then did He Changzai and Mo Qingkuang realize that much had happened in the Mu Family before their arrival, and they missed quite the spectacle. Seeing Han Yan securing such a great advantage, they were genuinely relieved, exchanging a knowing glance.
Han Yan nodded in acknowledgment, offering a grateful smile.
Had it not been for the coincidental arrival of these senior figures at the Mu Family, she would never have garnered such benefits.
Afterwards, Mu Beichen and the Supreme Elder accompanied Mo Qingkuang and the others to the guest hall. As they departed, Mu Beichen discreetly gave Han Yan a thumbs up behind his back.
