Listening to these women whispering surreptitiously and seeing their strange gazes, Ye Wangshi felt like she was going mad. Ye Huang, always causing more problems than solutions—she must have a grudge against her!
"No, it's not like that," Ye Wangshi struggled to explain, but she couldn't find the words to speak. How should she explain?
"Oh, what are you still standing there for, mother? Hurry up and help Ye Mei back home!"
"Yeah indeed, poor child, she must have been frightened, just standing there not talking."
Though these women seemed to be persuading her, they were probably mocking her internally! It was infuriating how Ye Huang was usually quiet in the village, everyone called her honest, so none suspected her of lying. In fact, she did not lie, but once Ye Qiu returned, everything would be clear, and there would be no room for Ye Wangshi and Ye Mei to defend themselves. Ye Mei's reputation was completely ruined.
