Chapter 122: What Happened at Midnight

Daya, faced with inquiries from many elder women, aunts, and even young wives and nieces, how could she respond?

Having been misunderstood the last time, she dared not speak of the adults' affairs. Even if she knew something, she would claim ignorance. Unable to cope with so many people, she timidly remained silent.

After washing the clothes, Daya returned home to hang them to dry. The adults at home, some of whom had just gotten up, went to the kitchen for breakfast, and did not mention any events from the village to their family.

Ye Shuzhi and Ye Shuzhen, having had their breakfast, went to wash clothes by the river as usual. Passing by the guards stationed at the entrance to the yard, both sisters couldn't help but glance at the two tall and handsome guards.

The guards received the girls' glances, neither avoiding nor returning them. Having stood guard all night, they were tired, hungry, and cold. At dawn, they had taken off their straw coats and were waiting to change shifts.
