Ji Fengyao's silver needles flew swiftly in her hands.

It's almost at its limit!

Lin Shuang felt the power in her body rapidly leaving her. Her originally light body felt as if it were bound by invisible shackles, becoming incredibly heavy, blocked, and powerless.

Although the spiritual energy in this world is thin, it is only thin, not non-existent.

Lin Shuang used to be able to clearly sense the presence of spiritual energy in the air and feel her body slowly absorbing spiritual energy at all times, but now she can no longer experience that mysterious feeling!

She returned to an ordinary life!

This realization drove Lin Shuang crazy!

She struggled desperately and roared at Ji Fengyao: "Ji Fengyao, you said that cutting off someone's cultivation is like taking their life. You have ruined me today. This is an irreconcilable feud. You will be punished!"

"Whether you suffer retribution or not is not up to you, but up to Heaven. It is only right and proper for me to take back what is mine." Ji Fengyao threw away the silver needle that had pierced Lin Shuang, turned around and sat down again: "Xi Que, take back her storage ring. The things in it were all given to me by me. Even the most precious maid could not earn so much."

Bai Lu, calculate how long she's been with me. Give her three times her head maid's monthly salary as severance pay. Don't let anyone say I've mistreated her in terms of salary.

“Yes, Your Highness! We’re not stingy people, we don’t owe anyone money.” Bai Lu glared at Lin Shuang angrily, then took out her brush, ink, paper and inkstone and began to seriously calculate the accounts.

"Yes, miss!"

Xi Que also stepped forward without any hesitation, grabbed Lin Shuang's hand, and swiftly pulled off the storage ring that Ji Fengyao had given her.

Lin Shuang scrambled forward, trying to snatch the storage ring that used to belong to her from Xi Que's hands, but she was just an ordinary person now, no match for Xi Que!

Xi Que carefully wiped the storage ring with alcohol and a clean cloth before handing it to Ji Fengyao, her words and actions full of disdain: "Miss, count it. Once it's counted, we'll have the prince take this money to buy piglets and give them away to raise. Maybe during festivals, someone will even bring us some meat to eat!"

Lin Shuang screamed in a panic, "No, no, these are all mine! It was agreed that these were given to me as a gift. How can you ask for something back after giving it away? Have you no shame!"

"Slap! Slap!"

Bai Lu finished calculating the accounts, and when she heard Lin Shuang say such a thing, she could no longer hold back and rushed up to slap Lin Shuang twice.

She poked Lin Shuang's forehead with her finger and shouted in Lin Shuang's ear, "Lin Shuang! What's wrong with you? You used to be such a clear-headed person, did your brain suddenly get filled with shit?!"

Don't forget, your indenture is still in your master's hands. Isn't it because the princess spoils you too much that you, a mere servant, think you're a princess?

Where did you get such a big face!

Lin Shuang was stunned by Bai Lu's two slaps, but also woken up by them.

yes!

Her indenture is still in her master's hands!

Bai Lu took a silver ingot from her storage ring and threw it at Lin Shuang's feet, saying coldly, "From the time you entered the manor until today, it has been a little over a year and two months, so let's say fifteen months. According to the monthly salary of the most prestigious maid in the capital, which is one tael of silver per month, you should be given fifteen taels in total."

This is a fifty-tael ingot. Consider the extra as a reward for you. Thank you for teaching me a lesson that has made me more aware of my place.

I cherish everything I have now even more, and this will stay with me forever:

People really need to learn to be content and grateful!
