Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The courtyard was cold and empty. Not to mention people, there was not even a shadow.

If not for the fact that the footprints in the courtyard were especially messy under the moonlight, indicating that a few people had indeed approached this place just now, Gu Yundong would have suspected that the voices she had heard previously were all illusions.

But… why did the thieves who were still here just now disappear?

Gu Yunshu ran out. “Eldest Sister? Why is there no one?”

Gu Yundong rubbed his chin and thought for a while. “Could it be that they have other schemes?”

“What?”

“I don’t know.” Gu Yundong let him enter the house first. She went to the kitchen and toilet to check. There was indeed no one there, so he returned.

Gu Yunshu hurriedly asked in a low voice, “Eldest Sister, have you found them?”

“No, maybe… they came here tonight to scout the area.” That was all she could think of. But for the sake of caution, Gu Yundong did not sleep the entire night and was highly focused.

Hence, when she went out the next day, there were obvious dark circles under her eyes.

Therefore, she planned to make a trip to the homestead in the morning and catch up on sleep as soon as she returned, in case those thieves came again at night.

Unexpectedly, when she went to the Zeng family’s courtyard, she saw Shao Qingyuan again.

There was no one in the courtyard. Madam Dong was making ginger tea. Her daughter, the seven-year-old girl she had seen yesterday, was helping to light the fire. Her nine-year-old son and five-year-old son were not at home. They had gone out to collect firewood.

Gu Yundong sat down in front of Shao Qingyuan and asked him, “Did Aunt ask you to come for dinner?”

“No,” Shao Qingyuan said. “I’m waiting for you here.”

Gu Yundong was surprised. “Waiting for me? What’s the matter? Are you going up the mountain to hunt wild boars again? Ah, did you discover the traces of the third wild boar?”

Shao Qingyuan:”…”

“I didn’t go up the mountain for the past two days. I was waiting for you to tell you that your house is being targeted.” Shao Qingyuan’s expression was serious. “Last night, four hooligans climbed into your courtyard to steal something.”

“You saw them?”

“Yes.” Shao Qingyuan nodded. “1 knocked them out and took them away.”

One had to leave their name behind when doing a good deed.

Gu Yundong did not know whether to say it or not. Her expression was especially complicated, and her dark circles were even more eye-catching.

Shao Qingyuan could not help but frown. “What’s wrong?”

Gu Yundong thought that he had good intentions and she had to appreciate it.

Hence, she tried her best to be tactful and said, “Actually… I’ve been waiting for the thieves to come to my house for the past two days. It’s like this. 1 think that many people will be jealous of my house after it’s built. Instead of guarding against people playing tricks all day, it’s better to make an example out of them and let everyone see the consequences of having designs on my family. Don’t think that my family is easy to bully without an adult man. Last night… Cough, I sat in the central room… waiting for them.”

As she was speaking, she seemed to have heard someone grunt. She originally thought that the thieves had accidentally bumped into something and cried, but it turned out that it was not the case.

Shao Qingyuan tightened his grip and pursed his lips tightly.

Gu Yundong really had no intention of blaming him. However, Shao Qingyuan took a deep look at her dark circles and suddenly stood up. “Got it.”

Then, he left. His long legs were striding.

Gu Yundong did not even have time to say “thank you”. She touched her forehead and secretly sighed.

After exchanging a few words with Madam Dong, Gu Yundong went back and slept for the entire afternoon. She was not particularly sleepy at night.

Hence, when she heard the commotion in the courtyard outside, she suddenly sat up from the bed..
