After those officers fled, Jin Ling'er had been terribly anxious.
She was very worried they would return to retaliate.
She cautiously sidled up to Li Ergou's wife and reminded her in a low voice.
"Sister-in-law, those officials didn't look like people to be trifled with."
"As the saying goes, 'commoners don't fight with officials.' We've offended them, so they definitely won't let us go."
"We should get out of here before they come back for blood."
Hua Manman saw that Prince Zhao had no intention of leaving and knew he was preparing to reveal his identity.
So she offered a comforting smile.
"Don't be afraid. Nothing will happen."
Jin Ling'er didn't understand where Li Ergou's wife got her confidence, but she could tell that the couple, Li Ergou and his wife, were very assertive and wouldn't change their minds over a few words from her.
So, she tactfully shut her mouth and pulled her younger brother aside.
