"I...!" Mu Huajian began to explain, but Ye Anxin didn't give him the chance, continuing, "If you could keep Mu Rufeng and her son in check and stop them from hurting Uncle, maybe I could plead for them and have Uncle let them return! But you simply can't control them! If you could, the events from four years ago wouldn't have happened!"
Mu Huajian's face flushed deep red at what Ye Anxin said, and he was utterly ashamed.
Seeing Mu Huajian like this, Ye Anxin couldn't help but feel some regret for her earlier hard stance, her voice unconsciously softened, "I know it took a lot for you to come to me today, that you had to muster a lot of courage! But before you spoke, you must have already anticipated this outcome! Just like last time when the three of you were thrown in jail, I was equally powerless! I admit, I'm selfish; I don't care about anything but Uncle's safety and him not being hurt again!"
Mu Huajian hung his head, unable to speak for a long time.
