Bab 2100: Pride and Prejudice

Mu Linfeng was quiet for a while before he slowly opened his mouth. "We did a thorough background check of you. Your mother, Mu Qingcheng, was an adopted daughter brought into our family by Old Master Mu. She was a songstress in the capital when she was young, whereas your biological father was from the Gongs. We can accept your connection to that family, but don't you dare take their name to justify your marriage into our family! Besides, you're an illegitimate child who has never been acknowledged by your father. You aren't fit to marry into our household! Your dubious background will only turn us into a laughingstock; we can't afford to be ridiculed! You'll bring disgrace to our family and smear our age-old reputation!"

The young lady merely replied with a snort, "There's something I should correct here. I have nothing to do with the Gong family."
