The Second Madam of the Mu family tried to take advantage of the chaos to harm Dongyang, and even attempted to take the lives of the three mother and daughters. Naturally, Mu Shaoling wouldn't just stand by after such actions.
These days, several sons of the second branch have lost money in business, and those working in official positions have been dismissed.
Originally, according to Mu Shaoling's plan, he had some evidence of the second branch's people embezzling and taking bribes, which he intended to use to deal with them, but the Old Master of the Mu family stopped him.
The Old Master believed that, regardless, they all bore the Mu surname, and that the first branch was in debt to the second branch.
