A Sincere Apology / As Long as Your Conscience Is Clear

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by his elder brother.

"Do you think saying sorry is enough? You have to show your sincerity and let him know that you truly admit your mistake. Otherwise, there is nothing to discuss.

Didn't you see that Li Changsheng is an extremely clever fellow?

If you try to brush him off like this, it will definitely backfire.

Of course, I'm not saying this because I'm afraid of him. It's simply that this matter must be handled properly."

Zhu Jiuyin originally wanted to say something more, but when he saw the murderous look on his elder brother's face, he could not utter a word.

The brothers beside him found Zhu Jiuyin rather pitiful and were just about to speak up, but they immediately caught their elder brother's gaze.

Thus, everyone shut their mouths. At that moment, Houtu walked over and said,

"Elder Brother, are you really going to condemn Zhu Jiuyin based solely on his side of the story? Aren't you going to investigate the truth?"

But her elder brother laughed.

"Do you think I don't know what he has done? Let me tell you, everything you do right under my nose every day—

someone reports it all to me. So the things they said cannot possibly have come out of nowhere.

I know you care deeply about Zhu Jiuyin, but you cannot confuse right and wrong because of that. My brothers and sisters must distinguish right from wrong and act reasonably.

Otherwise, don't blame me for disowning them."

After saying that, he stormed off. Houtu looked at everyone with an innocent expression. In truth, she had not meant to take anyone's side.

Nor had she suspected anyone. She simply wanted to view the matter fairly and impartially, hoping to find a better way to resolve it.
