8 – Teach the Scum a Lesson
“Ah—! Stop, stop!” Su Mengshu watched in horror as Bai Ruanruan raised her hand again, struggling desperately but unable to break free.
“Let go, Bai Ruanruan, let go of me.”
Bai Ruanruan held Su Mengshu’s hand like a chick, pinning her firmly against the pillar. Her rosy lips curved slightly as she tilted her head, looking at her sincerely. “Don’t worry, I know my limits. I won’t hurt any vital spots—just make you bleed a little more to scare them.”
Bai Ruanruan’s face was full of gratitude. “Mengshu, having a friend like you is truly a blessing. As my friend, making you join me in self-harm must be so hard on you.”
Self-harm?
Who the hell was joining her in self-harm?!
“No, Ruanruan, stop! I meant for you to cut yourself!” Su Mengshu’s face turned deathly pale with fear.
Bai Ruanruan glanced at the knife in her hand, looking a bit wronged. “Ah, but I’m afraid of pain now. I can’t bring myself to do it to myself.”
“Let go, Ruanruan, let go of me first, wu~” Seeing her collar already stained red, Su Mengshu nearly fainted from fright.
What was wrong with Bai Ruanruan, this idiot, today?
“If I let you go, we won’t be able to scare these servants, and I won’t be able to leave. Mengshu, I just heard your scream—it was quite terrifying.”
Bai Ruanruan widened her cat-like eyes, her eerie gaze fixed menacingly on Su Mengshu.
A cold sweat broke out on Su Mengshu’s back as a bad premonition washed over her. Tears and snot streamed down her face as she sobbed, “Wh-what are you going to do?”
“Scream a little more pitifully, scare those servants. Maybe they’ll let us out then. How does that sound?”
“I, no—”
“I think it sounds perfect.”
Before Su Mengshu could finish, Bai Ruanruan, still holding the knife in one hand, gripped her shoulder with the other and raised her own palm…
“Slap—”
“Ah~!”
Accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream, a bright red handprint appeared clearly on Su Mengshu’s face. Soon after, half her face swelled up.
“Just like that, scream a little louder.”
“Slap—”
“Ah~!”
This bitch, how dare she treat her like this! She was going to tear her apart!!
“No, let go, ah~!”
“Having a friend like you really moves me. You’re screaming so realistically just to help me get out.”
Bai Ruanruan slapped left and right with her hands while uttering all sorts of touching words.
Before long, Su Mengshu’s head was swollen beyond recognition, tears and snot flowing freely.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, the stunned servants around them were speechless: “…”
Seriously? What were these two black-hearted people doing?
Usually, the two of them caused trouble together, tormenting everyone in the manor.
Today, they were actually fighting each other?
This was practically a blessing for humanity.
Watching Su Mengshu’s once-pretty head gradually “deform,” Lin Da subconsciously touched his own face, which had been slapped by Bai Ruanruan not long ago, and pursed his dry lips.
A devil!
She was a devil!
Bai Ruanruan struggled to control her strength. Finally, after three or four slaps, Su Mengshu passed out.
“Mengshu, why are you sleeping now? Didn’t you say you’d take me to find Mu Xuan?”
Releasing Su Mengshu, Bai Ruanruan held the knife and gestured toward her own finger, her small face full of contemplation.
Su Mengshu lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth, her face so swollen and ugly she resembled a blobfish. Even her own mother probably wouldn’t recognize her now.
Bai Ruanruan gently pressed the knife against her thumb, a faint curve lifting at the corner of her lips. A bewitching yet eerie smile bloomed silently, hidden from the servants behind her.
“Su Mengshu injured me when she entered the estate today. From now on, she is not allowed to set foot in the Jiang family again.”
As she spoke, Bai Ruanruan turned around, showing the servants her “injured” hand.
All the servants: “…”
Who exactly injured whom?
“Throw her out, along with her things, into the trash bin outside. And mop the floor clean.”
Bai Ruanruan tossed the knife aside and turned to enter the kitchen. “Don’t let her die, after all, she’s still a living being.”
Today, she was merely collecting a small interest from her.

Not long after Bai Ruanruan entered the kitchen, chaos erupted in the hall.
“A miracle, a miracle! These two women have actually turned against each other and started fighting.”
“The young mistress actually forbade Su Mengshu from entering the estate? Has she finally come to her senses?”
Lin Da’s eyes darkened. Turned against each other? This was clearly their new scheme.
“Get her out of here first.”
“Yes.”
After instructing the servants, Lin Da rushed into the kitchen.
Inside, the chefs were huddled together in a corner, trembling.
“Bai Ruanruan, what are you doing in the kitchen again?”
“Steward Lin, I couldn’t stop the young mistress from cooking.”
One of the chefs looked up, revealing two black eyes—clearly Bai Ruanruan’s handiwork.
“…”
“Ah, my poor young master, just waking up only to suffer the young mistress’s torment again.”
Every time this woman entered the kitchen, something major was bound to happen.
“Bai Ruanruan, get out of here.” Lin Da gestured for a few people to step forward.
He was already prepared to carry her out.
Their young master had just woken up and absolutely, absolutely could not eat anything she made.
“I’ll leave once I finish making the soup, okay?” Bai Ruanruan picked up a nearby coconut. With her back to everyone, she gave it a gentle squeeze…
Splat—
It was crushed to pieces.
Instantly, Lin Da stiffened, and the servants froze in place.
Could they say no?
“Hmm? Is that okay?” Picking up the spatula, Bai Ruanruan tilted her head slightly and said, “Why is this handle so long?”
With that, she snapped the spatula in half with a crack, leaving only the head.
Holy crap??
Everyone in the kitchen stared wide-eyed.
That spatula was made of iron!
Next, she picked up a spoon. Still with her back to everyone, standing in front of the soup pot, Bai Ruanruan lightly toyed with the large iron spoon.
Clang!
Well, the spoon’s head came off in her hands.
“???”
The air grew eerily quiet, broken only by the bubbling sound of the soup in the pot.
“Bai Ruanruan!” Lin Da’s lips trembled, whether from anger or fear.
Bai Ruanruan turned around, looking rather apologetic. “The kitchenware at home is old. It’s time to replace it.”
What nonsense about replacing it—this was a brand-new set of kitchenware.
“Get her out of here, quickly.” Lin Da ordered the people behind him warily.
This woman had become strange. Ever since she woke up, everything she did was abnormal.
Where there’s abnormality, there’s a scheme.
“Yes.”
“I’ll leave in half an hour, I won’t poison anything anymore, and I’ll never harm your young master again.”
“Bai Ruanruan, even a ghost wouldn’t believe that. Half an hour? Ha! Get her out!”
The servants stepped forward, intending to throw Bai Ruanruan out of the kitchen.
Bai Ruanruan silently curled her fingers, not bothering to explain. They were convinced she was up to no good.
If she explained, they wouldn’t believe her anyway.
Tsk, then there was no other way.
“Bang—”
“Ah—”
Suddenly, chaos erupted in the kitchen—pots and pans clattered, punches and kicks flew, and Lin Da and the others wailed in pain.
Half an hour later, Bai Ruanruan calmly walked out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of soup.
“Bai Ruanruan, just you wait! I’ll make sure the young master sees your wicked side, you witch, you witch!”
From inside the kitchen, angry cries of pain echoed far and wide.
Holding the soup, Bai Ruanruan paused, glanced back at the kitchen, raised an eyebrow, then placed the bowl on a nearby flower stand. She ruffled her hair into a messy state and squeezed the small cut she had made earlier on her finger.
The knife hadn’t broken the skin earlier, but with a squeeze, a drop of blood oozed out.
After completing this series of actions, Bai Ruanruan picked up the soup and went upstairs as if nothing had happened.
