At this moment, from outside the alley.
Indistinct voices of women's chatter could be heard.
"Look at the neighbor, Master Yue, coughing so severely; I wonder if something bad will happen."
"In these times, why is he so foolish, leaving his wife and children to guard the city wall."
"Sigh, see, in the end, he got nothing good out of it, even got injured, how pitiable."
"Yes, yes, why do such foolish things, isn't it better to live peacefully?"
"....."
Then, among the neighbors in the alley, several old women listened to the urgent coughing from the courtyard, whispering in groups so close to each other, looking towards Yue Shan's courtyard while chattering incessantly.
Inside the house, the woman, upon hearing the faint voices from outside, wanted to rush out.
"Little Sister Lian, what are you doing?" Yue Dao held onto his wife.
"I want to reason with them." The woman's eyes reddened even more.
She would not allow those people to disgrace what her husband had done.
