The heads of each household expressed their stance and, no longer in the mood for the banquet or the subsequent lineup of activities, promptly led their own children away from this place of contention.
The families caught in public with improper conduct were naturally disgraced, and although greatly annoyed, they could only slink away.
Those uninvolved also found themselves tainted by association. Although not many attended today's banquet at the General's Mansion, there were quite a few. With the Ye sisters causing such a commotion today, if there were to be any slandering rumors about them in the future, who knows what madness Ye Xinyan might unleash.
By then, anyone present today would be under suspicion.
While these families were annoyed with the Ye sisters, they also held disdain for those mansions that professed rules and etiquette but lacked moral fiber.
