"Madam Pei! Mo Heng is the eldest son from the principal and second branch!" Mo Er declared as if making a promise.
Pei Qin stood up and looked down at the three of them, "I thought you came to plead for Lady Mo's sake, but it turned out you are here to claim kinship! What a disgrace to the learned men of the world! The ability to lie with eyes wide open certainly increases with one's knowledge!"
"Madam Pei!" Mo Er also stood up, bowing again.
Pei Qin asked him indirectly, "Is Mo Heng your biological son? Is he your son?"
Mo Er was startled for a moment, knowing she wanted Mo Dun to come and also knowing that the matter of expelling Mo Heng from the family years ago needed an explanation from Mo Dun; he then took his leave to persuade Mo Dun to come over.
