Unexpectedly, Xuexue added another remark, "Mother, you can say that to anyone, just not to Young Master Mo."
Madam Xie was utterly bewildered, "Why not!"
Xuexue, ignoring the extremely embarrassed Mo Shaoxing beside her, continued fluently, "Young Master Mo is well-versed in the Book of Sages and values propriety and integrity above all. How could he partake in such impropriety as men and women sitting together?"
Mo Shaoxing stiffened again and could only straighten up reluctantly, "Sister Xuexue is right. I have been rude."
"Of course you were rude. We have no ties with your family, so don't call me 'sister' anymore to avoid any misunderstandings." Xiuzhi always found herself in trouble because of him; Xuexue simply didn't like him.
"Auntie, Aunt Li, please enjoy your meal. I shall take my leave," said Mo Daoyan, making a bow before turning to leave.
