She might have been better off not inquiring, for once she did, she was nearly scared out of her wits.
Those people wouldn't normally talk about such things, but now in their panic, they naturally let slip some of their usual taboos and secrets.
At this moment, when the landlady said, "They can't escape anywhere," she was actually worried about her husband, Lady Yan, and the people she knew being unable to escape.
Li Yuan had heard her say these things before, and now he understood she was suppressing her fears this whole time. Hiding in the cellar now, with only dim light in sight and a suffocating atmosphere surrounding them, her fears erupted, causing her to babble.
So, he took the panicked beautiful woman into his arms, letting her sit on his thigh, and softly comforted her, gently soothing her, which finally calmed her down.
However, he also knew in his heart that Sister Xue was right.
He had nowhere to run.
This world,
Is complicated where there are people.
