Once Lin Yue spoke, everyone fell silent. Those who had previously worked for Zhao Erhu mostly believed Lin Yue's words and thus were no longer in a hurry to demand their wages. There were also some who speculated whether Lin Yue was trying to delay time, so they hesitated about what to do.

It was because Zhao Erhu was not at home that Zhao Zhiguang dared to stir up trouble intentionally. He hadn't expected that the arrival of Zhao Erhu's wife would quell the situation. Seeing that no one was following his lead to continue the disturbance, he felt anxious and frustrated. It seemed that the task entrusted to him by that person might not be accomplished, and the promised silver would likely be lost. He was so close, yet now any further disruption would not benefit him, so he could only remain silent, waiting for the next opportunity.
