Chu Lingqi frowned and said, "Everyone should prepare and secure their windows and doors, and find somewhere to hide, just in case. Rest assured, even if something does happen, we won't let those people into the courtyard."
Next, Manager Luo led some guards into the Inner Courtyard. He silently instructed the women, "The men are all prepared, don't be afraid. Don't light any lamps, don't make a sound, lock your doors and windows, and find a hiding place."
The so-called "hiding places" were places like cabinets, under the bed, or in piles of firewood.
Chen Afu quietly said to Hong Fei, Xiao Hong, Mrs. Huang, and Qi'er, who wanted to follow her into the main room, "The main room is too conspicuous, it's best to hide in the side rooms."
Hong Fei knew that the main room had a hidden room. But the hidden room wouldn't be big, definitely not enough to hide so many people, so she took Xiao Hong and a few others to find a place to hide.
