Chapter 676 - 675: Irreversible
```
The personal attendant to Gao Jin refused to believe such news, spitting and kicking the door attendant, "What rubbish are you spouting so early in the morning?"
The door attendant fell over from the kick, and without managing to get up, he cried out in protest, "Sir...I’m not talking nonsense! It’s true! Laosan, who’s in charge of the purchasing for our house, was beaten half to death and dragged away by the soldiers—"
At that news, the entire courtyard exploded in panic, their fearful eyes turning to Gao Jin.
As servants to an official, who hadn’t heard of a few instances each year where officials were raided and their families sold into slavery?
Which official, in his right mind, would find his home surrounded by soldiers if not for an impending raid on his estate?
The timid maids began to cover their faces and cry, while the clever and quick-witted ones were already sneaking back, hoping to pack up their belongings and hide them.
Gao Jin, with a grim expression, reflexively went to instruct Lady Xia to keep the servants in line, but then he remembered that Lady Xia had just fainted.
So he had to hastily order people to wake Lady Xia up, and then, with his personal attendant in tow, he rushed toward the front of the house.
Seeing the grim look on Gao Jin’s face, everyone knew that the situation must be bad, and they all felt at risk.
At this moment, no one cared about Lady Xia, except for Sister Hu, who truly cared for her and was scolding the maids repeatedly, urging them to tend to Lady Xia. The maids, either out of fear or their own selfish concerns, were dragging their feet.
