The guests below the stage, in a place where Shi Lan's mother couldn't see or hear, used the ugliest words to describe the darkness and disgrace of the Shi Family and showed their disapproval of Shi Lan's mother's situation.
Perhaps some of these harsh words were even heard by Shi Lan's mother directly.
But she acted as if she had heard nothing. How could it matter if the words were harsh? If she were to argue now, nobody would believe her anyway.
It was only through action that she could be persuasive, and fortunately, it wasn't too late, the situation was not utterly hopeless yet.
Although the guests were not convinced, they still gave Shi Lan's mother a sliver of respect. Despite the Shi Family's extreme embarrassment that evening, Shi Lan's mother's final speech did indeed salvage some dignity.
At least her spine was straight.
