"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.
It was too dangerous for Peng Zezai. Tang Tang was a manager and she was very busy. She could not follow her often.
Zhao Jia quickly went downstairs. Peng Zezai and Old Master Peng were still chatting.
"Hubby..."
They heard her sweet voice.
This voice was too flirtatious. Even though he had heard it once in the hospital, Peng Zezai still could not stand her sweet voice.
"Hubby, I'm tired. Let's go home..." Zhao Jia walked behind him and naturally lowered her hands, tactfully not touching him.
Old Master Peng gave a kind smile. After so many years, the relationship between Jia Jia and Zezai had finally gotten better.
She had already started calling him hubby and even learned to act coquettishly. This was a good sign. Old Master Zhao did not have to worry anymore.
His entire body stiffened. "Speak normally."
She leaned closer to his face and stared intently at him with her beautiful eyes. "What's wrong with me now?"
'If you were locked up and almost tortured, it would be a wonder if you could be normal!'
"It's very normal. Girls are so cute when they act coquettishly. Have fun, the two of you..." Old Master Peng smiled as he stood up. "This old man will not disturb the two of you anymore. You can go home now."
Have fun?
She dared to bet that up until now, she and Peng Zezai definitely did not share this kind of fun.
Old Madam Peng stood on the second floor, and behind her stood Aunt Li, who had just been slapped.
They were leaving. She could not stay any longer.
Zhao Jia used to be very obedient, but something had happened recently..
It's like she had eaten a bear's heart and leopard's guts!
Downstairs, Zhao Jia said goodbye to Old Master Peng. "Good night, Grandpa."
"Good night, good night! You guys go back and sleep early too." Old Master Peng winked at her and even waved his hand.
What did he mean?
Why did it feel like her relationship with Old Master Peng seemed to be very good.
She turned her head and met with Peng Zezai's indifferent eyes. Her clear voice overflowed. "Ngh..."
When did this person turn around?
She stood up. "Let's go."
Once she got into his car again, Zhao Jia immediately took out her phone.
Peng Zezai accidentally saw that the wallpaper on her phone was a selfie of herself.
She changed it?
It had not been changed in three years. Why did she suddenly change it?
He could not describe what he was feeling. He clearly did not like her and did not have any feelings for her at all. Yet, he was actually a little unhappy about this.
