202 Can't be a coincidence

Yuan and his wives arrived at the living hall after resting in his room for a while. As they entered, they saw Madam Layla, Ava, and Julie sitting on the plush sofa, wearing somewhat dazed expressions. 

The entire hall was enveloped in an unusual silence, with the three women lost in thought.

Yuan and his wives exchanged puzzled glances, wondering what might have caused this sudden solemnity. 

Rose, in particular, appeared anxious and worried, her gaze shifting between her mother and sisters.

"Mom, Ava, Julie, what's going on? Why do you all look so serious? Has something significant happened in the village?" Rose's concerned voice pierced through the quietude, rousing them from their contemplation. 

They turned to Rose, their expressions gradually returning to normal, and noticed Yuan and his wives standing nearby.
