Watching Xiao Moreng and the others approach together, Daohua put down the red dates in her hands and, while wiping her hands, chuckled: "Oh, the esteemed young masters finally arrived. I almost thought you had fled because of your crimes."
Xiao Moreng said with an embarrassed smile: "Auntie, we spilled the mooncakes in the kitchen and specifically came to admit our mistake."
Daohua looked at the several little turnip heads in front of her: "Do you all know what you did wrong?"
Daozi and the others quickly nodded: "We were wrong."
Daohua smiled and nodded: "Very good, to know your mistake and correct it is the best virtue. Making mistakes is not scary, but what is dreadful is knowing you're wrong yet refusing to admit it, continuing to make mistakes over and over."
"You are all good children. Considering that you came forward to admit your mistakes, the punishment can be slightly reduced."
