Taohua shivered with fear, panicking, stammered, "Princess Consort, what should we do? It seems as if they have forced their way in. What are we going to do?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Jiang Ning looked calm, but her words betrayed a hint of uncertainty, "If we can't beat them, then... we need to hide first. Doesn't your family have any sort of basement or secret passage?"
"The Princess's house has one... but this place, truly, doesn't."
Even if there was, she, a handmaid who had just moved here with Ling'an not long ago and spent most of her time elsewhere, was unlikely to know.
Taohua ran anxiously to the door several times to peek out, suddenly remembering something, said hurriedly, "Princess Consort, I remembered, there's an ice cellar, just across from here not far. We can hide there!"
An ice cellar is where wealthy families store ice during winter, waiting to use it to cool down in the sweltering summer.
