"What trouble could there be? I've already given orders—if they wish to eat, drink, and be merry, or if they want to cause trouble, let them be. If they can provoke others without consequence, they deserve to be bullied. If they cannot fend for themselves and get bullied by others, they also have it coming.

As for what happens within their own branch of the family, that's their own business. If they land themselves in big trouble, don't expect the Mu Residence to stand up for them," Mu Beichen said.

"Do you feel that this is too harsh and doesn't resemble the behavior of a family?" Mu Beichen, seeing Mu Hanyan's surprise, asked with a smile.
"Yes," Mu Hanyan nodded.
