“Miss Zhao, in the eyes of everyone in the Peng family, Miss Wan is more important than you. Her life is more important than yours, and it’s more precious.” Aunt Li approached her.

“You’re threatening me. Even if you beat me into a confession, it’s useless in court.” Zhao Jia stared at the needle. “I’m the eldest young mistress of the Peng family, after all. How can a servant like you teach me a lesson?”

“I’m representing the old Madam.” Aunt Li saw that she still did not confess. “Miss Zhao, I’m sorry.”

She stabbed her, and Zhao Jia grabbed tightly onto her fat wrists. She was younger, so she reacted quickly.

There was no need to be afraid.

“Let go of me…” Aunt Li shouted.

Zhao Jia was taller than her, so she raised her hands forcefully and pulled her wrists back. Aunt Li could not fight her and her body sagged toward the ground. “Ah… It hurts.”

She took the opportunity to pull out the long needle and threw it into a dark corner.

“I don’t want to do this. Open the door now. Otherwise, as long as you don’t kill me, I won’t let you off.” Zhao Jia smiled faintly. “Zezai is still downstairs.”

Were they too impulsive?

If Peng Zezai was not here and she was trapped here, it would be useless even if she screamed.

However, he was here. Even if he did not like her, he could not just leave her here alone, right?

Aunt Li opened the door unwillingly. However, when she thought about how this woman could even push Miss Wan down the stairs without mercy, she realized that she was just a servant. She might not think twice about killing her.

As expected, she was a vicious woman.

The more beautiful a woman was, the more vicious she was.

Aunt Li was scared. “I’ll open it! Let go of my hand first.”

Zhao Jia pulled her toward the door before letting go.

In the darkness, Aunt Li pressed something and the door opened.

Very slowly, the light from the room outside slowly shone in.

Just as she was about to rush out and lock Zhao Jia inside, she felt something holding her back, stopping her exit.

She turned around in fear. Zhao Jia’s beautiful face wore a smile, and her fingers grabbed the hem of her clothes.

“Ah…”

Zhao Jia followed her out. She would not make the same mistake twice.

After successfully leaving the damp secret room, Zhao Jia let go of her clothes. “The existence of such a place is very mysterious. I didn’t expect that the Old Madam’s hobby would be so special.”

She smiled. “I wonder if grandfather and Zezai know about this secret room…”

“The Old Madam let you go tonight. Don’t be ungrateful. When Miss Wan wakes up and testifies, you won’t be able to escape.” Aunt Li was furious, “If you talk nonsense, don’t be surprised if someone rips out that mouth so you can’t speak for the rest of your life.”

“Oh…” she said nonchalantly and walked out of the room.

She was scared to death. It was too scary.

This was completely one of the Old Madam’s scandals.

No, she would call her brother in a while and send her bodyguards over.
