Someone collapsed at the entrance of the inn, weeping and pleading, causing quite a stir, followed by others approaching.
"I want to see Lord Meng, my sister..."
"My older sister..."
Several more people came out in succession, all for the sake of their family members.
They too wanted to seek the truth, to find out if their sisters had truly been abducted by bandits, and whether they could return.
Town Chief Meng looked at Xie Zhinuan, "Miss Xie, what do you think..."
"You go out to meet them, and after meeting them, tell them whether their relatives are willing to come back or prefer to stay in the bandit stronghold, or perhaps..."
Xie Zhinuan left these people with an option, which was to take them in.
How innocent they were, their bodies ruined because they were taken by the bandits, trapped in the stronghold, reduced to objects, to childbearing tools.
Many people probably didn't want to return.
Even if they did return, how many families would accept them?
