Chu Shao raised the jade object in her hand high, as if she was about to throw it down.

However, her movement suddenly stopped, and he didn't drop it. Moreover, she smiled and looked outside, her expression was inscrutable.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Jin didn't understand what was going on. So she turned her wheelchair around and looked outside.

At this glance, it inevitably had a sense of timelessness.

The night rain drifted into the corridor, making Old Zhang and the maids even more fearful. The lanterns on the wooden boards turned and rolled, and the candlelight was flickering, creating a desolate scene.

Xiao Jin looked at all of this expressionlessly, with only one thought in her mind.

She had saved her life.

Old Zhang and the maids were stunned in place.

They looked at the red marks on Xiao Jin's neck and couldn't close their jaws, and even their eyeballs were about to fall out.

This was truly saving a life.

Looking at Xiao Jin's visibly unpleasant complexion, Old Zhang, as the head of the palace attendants and the source of the jade objects, was the first to kneel down and kowtow, begging for mercy: "Your Highness, spare me! This old slave... this old slave heard some noise outside the courtyard just now, and was afraid that someone might harm Your Highness, so I rashly came in..."

As the saying goes, a team with a pig-like teammate is more terrifying than facing a formidable opponent alone.

Xiao Jin knew that everything she had just encountered was thanks to Old Zhang. She was so angry that she coldly sneered, "Whether or not others will harm this prince, this prince doesn't know. Old Zhang, you're getting better and better at handling things. How come this prince feels like you're the biggest villain?"

Hearing this, Old Zhang's face turned ashen, and he was so scared that his legs went weak. He quickly kowtowed and begged for forgiveness: "Your Highness, spare me, this old slave deserves to die!"

Xiao Jin didn't know how terrifying the original owner's temperament was. She just said a cold sentence, and the maids followed Old Zhang in kneeling down and begging for mercy, fearfully and mournfully.

"Your Highness, please calm down! We deserve to die..."

Xiao Jin was annoyed by the noise.

How brutal was the original owner's temperament? How could these people keep dying all the time? It was unbelievable.

She couldn't bear it anymore and glanced at Old Zhang, waving her hand to stop him: "You truly deserve to die. You only have a little knowledge about antiques, yet you dared to admire and play with all these jade artifacts."

Old Zhang knew Xiao Jin's temper well.

At this moment, he knew that he was in deep trouble and knelt on the ground, trembling, anticipating what kind of punishment Xiao Jin would give him next.

"Lao Zhang deserves to die!"

Old Zhang was in despair, almost banging his forehead to bleed, hoping to leave a complete corpse.

He trembled and lay on the long corridor, not holding any hope of survival. Suddenly, a cold voice came from inside the room:

"What do you mean by 'deserves to die'? I only intend to punish you by having you sweep up all the broken jade in this area, and deduct a month's salary... In addition, from now on, you are not allowed to bring such filthy things into the mansion. If there is a next time, you will be expelled from the mansion directly."
