Bai Jingran's face darkened. "Mu Wan Yun, my grandfather is the head of the cabinet, a pillar of the state who has served three reigns. How dare you say he has no breeding?"
Mu Wan Yun said slowly, "I've only recently learned to read and write, yet even I know the principle that one must first be a decent person before becoming an official, and that the people must always come first."
"Since Prime Minister Bai is a veteran of three reigns and the head of all officials, yet he cannot even ensure the common folk in the countryside live decent lives, and even indulges his granddaughter to proclaim them poor and uncouth... I imagine his service across three reigns was all for naught!"
