一瞬间，京墨脑海里闪过许多种猜测，只是在眼下这种情况，什么想法都显得十分多余。
面前的小丫鬟一直隐藏着她的左手，京墨不难猜测到那里应该是有什么危险的凶器，要是白夫人在里头这便是最大的危险。
But if Lady Bai is not there...
Then this is more like a play, a play performed for oneself.
But why would one perform a play for oneself?
Jing Mo still feels that this possibility is unlikely. She is just a maid. If Lady Bai wants to dig for any answers, she could just come and ask directly. Why go through so much trouble, around such a big circle?
The maid servant seemed very nervous, as Jingmo noticed her hidden left arm trembling constantly.
"What are you nervous about?"
The little maid servant seemed to be immersed in this tense atmosphere, Jingmo's opening even startled her.
“我没有紧张。”
被点出了心理活动，小丫鬟面上的惊慌一闪而过，继而很快变化成原先的无辜模样，眨着故作纯净的眼眸，似乎什么都不知道。
"What do you have in your hand? Why won't you take it out?"
Jing Mo asked again, sweat dripping from the back of her neck, falling into the collar of her clothes, only then did she realize that she was covered in sweat.
"It's not anything else..."
It seems like she knows she can't hide it anymore. The little maid moves slowly, as if she's about to take out what's in her hand.
Keeping his gaze fixed on her left hand, Jin Mo was afraid she might do something terrifying. But it seemed he was overthinking it, as the young maid just cowered with her head down, waiting for her fate.
She cannot continue to stay here, she's too dangerous.
"Do you have any other business? If not, please leave."
"...what I have is..."
那小丫鬟好像没有听见她说的话的模样，支支吾吾的想要解释着什么，却也说不出来个子丑寅卯。
不祥的预感越来越浓烈，京墨皱起眉来。
"Why aren't you going out? What do you want to do?"
Her voice became severe, as if questioning, but also as if bolstering herself.
"I just want, I just want to explain to you...please, don't misunderstand me..."
The voice of the little maid became more and more aggrieved, gradually with a hint of crying, as if Jing Mo was bullying someone. Unfortunately, Jing Mo was not fooled by this, and as he saw the maid approaching, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
\"Step back, don't come any closer!\"
She dared not move backward, not knowing if Madam Bai was inside or not. If she wasn't inside, that would be fine. But if she was inside, Jing Mo could not guarantee that he would successfully stop this mysterious and unpredictable person.
She is just a young girl, not very commanding. The maid just paused for a moment and continued to approach.
"Sister, do you trust me? Can you go explain to the lady for me, please?"
"Madam is not here, you have to explain it yourself! If you want me to do it for you, what does that mean?"
Jing Mo coldly shouted, not expecting this to deceive the other party.
Sure enough, this little maid acted as if she didn't hear anything, completely ignoring Jing Mo's warning, and moving forward on her own. Her steps, which had started as small shuffles, gradually increased in amplitude.
随着她的逼近，京墨也警惕起来，时刻关注着她的动作。
“我手里什么都没拿，姐姐，你别紧张。”
似乎是为了缓解京墨的紧张，小丫鬟动作缓慢地举起了左手。京墨死死盯着她的手，随着她的动作，只看见她的手渐渐出现，白嫩的手腕，略有些红润的手掌，最后，是修长的五指……
好像什么都没有一样。
“挡我?你去死吧！”
只是一息之间，那小丫鬟突然暴起，五指完全露出，原来凶器竟然藏在两指的指尖。
京墨只觉寒芒一闪，还来不及反应那是什么东西，便下意识地抬手去抵挡。
Clang--
It was the sound of two blades clashing.
Kyomo had been standing there with his hands at his side, and the conversation had caused the little maid to forget about the scissors in her hand.
This can only be regarded as unexpected, catching the little maid off guard. If she really used the scissors to defend, it would not be so simple.
"Where did you get the finger guard?"
While they were deadlocked, Jing Mo took advantage of the opportunity to get a clear view of the maid's weapon. It turned out to be a two-fingered tiger claw with a sharp spike that was as long as a palm. If it really pierced into the body, even a deity wouldn't be able to save the victim.
“你倒是狠心，竟然这么对待夫人。”
京墨原想着再拖些时间，挪到窗边再说。原因无他，白夫人屋子里铺满了地毯，使劲摔东西在地上，动静也不大，没法提醒外头的人。要是离得窗户近，说不定还有点机会。
Just that the little maid had already gone mad, ignoring the words of Jing Mo, she lifted her hand and was about to attack again.
This time, although Jing Mo was already prepared, she had never practiced the techniques of defense, and awkwardly waved her arms to barely fend off the little maid's first two attacks.
Once, twice, but not three times. Taking advantage of these two attacks, Jingmo had already retreated to the window. With the corner of his eye, he saw that the area where the curtains had been pulled apart still had no movement, and his heart was certain that Madam Bai must have escaped.
Now that Lady Bai is out of danger, the most important thing is to protect oneself.
The kou is numb from exertion, but she dare not relax, keeping a close eye on the maid's every move.
The maid also realized that something was wrong and stopped hesitating. She raised her hand wearing the finger guard and clenched her fist.
Immediately after, she made a strong attack towards Jingmo.
脑海之中警铃大作，这一下可是用了十成十的力气，要是没躲掉，弄不好真的要命丧当场。
京墨脸色难看，也不敢再强撑，趁着机会连忙侧身躲避。
她似乎是小瞧了这丫鬟的灵活，见京墨躲开，小丫鬟也跟着转动身体，指虎直对着京墨的面门而去。
可下一秒钟，小丫鬟便惊觉不对。
Jing Mo's face showed a faint smile, as if she had expected it.
What did she expect?
The little maid didn't know either, before she could figure it out, her body had already rushed towards Jing Mo.
耳后传来一阵噼里啪啦的响声，小丫鬟突然想起来，旁边就是窗户，连忙回头去看。
果然，原先禁闭的窗户不知何时打开了一个缝隙，这缝隙虽小，但已经足够将屋子里的凌乱嘈杂之声传出去了。
也正是这一走神，等她再回过头来，京墨的身体已经避开了大半的指虎。
锋利的指虎只是堪堪擦破脸侧的肌肤，京墨并不在意这轻微的伤口。
She even heard the exclamation coming from outside.
"What's wrong with the lady inside? Quick, go take a look!"
Someone rushed in, but was stopped by another person at the door: "The lady said she wants to rest, she didn't ask us to come in. You went inside like this, aren't you afraid of being punished by the lady?"
Turns out there was indeed someone causing trouble on the side.
Jingmo's face turned ugly, already recognizing who this person was. No wonder the news spread so quickly in Lady Bai's courtyard, it turned out there was a spy among the second-class maids beside her.
Sure, here is the translation of the provided Chinese text into English, with the original HTML tags preserved:\n\n```html\nShe hid it extremely well, and no one noticed anything amiss with her. It seems that she acted so eagerly because she overheard the discussion and her accomplice was mentioned, prompting her to act. If she hadn't made her move then, it would likely have remained undiscovered until the end.\n```
Fortunately, she was now closer to Lady Bai's bed, so even if the little maid tried her best, she had her body as a cushion and wouldn't hurt Lady Bai.
Thinking of this, she didn't hesitate anymore and shouted out loudly: "Someone come quick! There is an assassin in the lady's room!"
她的声音一出，外头的人更加乱作一团。
“快进去！快进去！”
“别拦着！你快让开！”
门外原先似乎只有两三个丫鬟聚集着，听见了京墨的呼喊求救，倒是瞬间集合了不少人。
Only one person couldn't resist and couldn't stop it at all. They even aroused suspicion and ended up being restrained and suppressed.
When the people outside broke in, they saw a confrontation scene.
Madame Bai was being held hostage in the hands of a little maid, with the finger tiger already embedded in her flesh, as if in the next second, it could easily pierce through her fragile skin.
面前的小丫鬟一直隐藏着她的左手，京墨不难猜测到那里应该是有什么危险的凶器，要是白夫人在里头这便是最大的危险。
But if Lady Bai is not there...
Then this is more like a play, a play performed for oneself.
