Manager Zhang was scared out of his wits, but he was held down by Jiang Yang, unable to move. He could only watch in terror as the dagger was thrust towards his forehead!
Instinctively, he shut his eyes tight in fear of the impending danger.
However, the anticipated pain didn't come; instead, he was greeted by a chilling breeze that brushed past his scalp.
That was quickly followed by a woman's panicked scream.
Manager Zhang opened his eyes to see Princess Pingning holding her chest, gasping for breath. The jade hairpin in her hair had been snapped in half. A piece was teetering on the brink of falling from her hair; the other piece had already fallen to the floor, shattered into several fragments!
Jiang Shu shot her a deep, discerning look, coughed a few times, and then said, "Mother, are you alright? You were fine just sitting there, why did you move? It was truly a matter of luck for him since if you hadn't intercepted the dagger, it would have pierced his skull!"
