And the servant, after being scolded and hit, recalled how Catherine threatened her to kill Shangguan Xi just now.
The servant suddenly had an epiphany; she didn't want to kill Shangguan Xi. If she killed Shangguan Xi, Catherine would eventually accuse her, and she would be punished by the Island Master, possibly even killed.
But if she changed her target and killed Catherine instead, she could threaten Shangguan Xi to take her to the treasure and dig it up.
Once she found the treasure, she could take the wealth and secretly leave the island. She would no longer need to be a servant and could go live a good life.
The more the servant thought about it, the more she felt that her thinking was correct, it was right.
So, the servant lowered her head and slowly retreated into the room, as if she was scared from being scolded and didn't dare stand by her master, wanting to hide.
