"Heh, why would I know? Are you here to interrogate me?"
Eldest Old Master, Second Old Master, and their wives stood in stunned silence, exchanging bewildered glances. They couldn't fathom why their mother was once again directing her anger towards them.
First Madam Fan and Second Mrs. Fan, positioned nearby with lowered heads, inwardly sneered. Was there even a need to ask? Couldn't they see who was standing right here?
Had she ever refrained from meddling?
"No, Mother, please don't misunderstand! We came specifically to discuss how to handle this situation," Eldest Old Master stammered.
"Yes!" Second Old Master chimed in.
Old Lady Fan's sneer deepened. "They're already at our doorstep. What do you propose? They want to accuse the Fan family without evidence. Do they think we're pushovers? Chase them away, quickly!"
