Kindness Doesn’t Mean I Can be Bullied The voice clearly belonged to a maid from the Hot Spring Mansion, but Bai Ruozhu couldn’t quite tell which one it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, she had no idea what had happened, but whatever it might have been, maids should not create such a ruckus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Begging for mercy in such a loud manner only seemed more defiant, as if they wanted the guests outside to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned and, holding Dengdeng, entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi’s icy gaze melted into a smile when she saw her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You arrived just in time, Ruozhu,” she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This maid has stolen pure white mysterite ointment from the manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You deal with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu had hoped Guizhi would handle it and show some authority, but now that Guizhi had spoken, Bai Ruozhu could not refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, I did not steal anything from the manor,” the kneeling maid pleaded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu recognized her as Luliu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I love beauty and couldn’t resist putting some on my face, but I did not take anything outside the manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please understand, miss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chixin, slap her!” Bai Ruozhu ordered, her face expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Without hesitation, Chixin gave Luliu two slaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luliu was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she finally came to her senses, she burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you hitting me, Miss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai family is known for its kindness, how can you punish your servants so casually?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chixin slapped her twice more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you can’t learn your manners, I’ll have to slap some sense into you,” she said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luliu opened her mouth to speak, but before she could utter a word, Chixin slapped her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her head and began to sob, her crying now significantly quieter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know why I hit you?” Bai Ruozhu asked coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In panic, Luliu shook her head, then nodded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It appears you still don’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First of all, Guizhi is your owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She says you stole something, and then you openly ask me to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren’t you disregarding her authority?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means you no longer belong in Hot Spring Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, Guizhi was talking to me, when did it become your turn to interrupt?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai family has a reputation for kindness, but that doesn’t mean we have no rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It doesn’t mean a maid can disrespect her owner.” The look Bai Ruozhu gave Luliu was cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could have simply sold Luliu off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she said all this not to awaken Luliu, but to serve as discipline for the other maids and make them respect Guizhi more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Furthermore, the items in the manor are to be sold to our clients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When was it permitted for you to use them casually?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By your reasoning, your secret use of the precious beauty ointment doesn’t count as theft?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be frank, the Bai family cannot afford to keep maids with such unclean hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s send you back to Ge Yapo and let her find you a better path.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Luliu was petrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A servant sold by their master would find it very difficult to make their way in the world, especially one who was denounced as having ‘unclean hands’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No well-to-do household would dare hire her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In desperation, she stammeringly said, “I…I saw Guizhi using it and thought we could use a little too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chixin kicked her in annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Guizhi is the mistress and you are nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How dare you compare yourself to her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Guizhi is my sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I allowed her to use the ointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If our production can keep up in the future, I might also let you maids use it, but has either of us given you permission to use it now?” asked Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She and Guizhi are perhaps too kind and unwilling to treat people differently based on their status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, some people are never content and end up breaking the rules.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people outside the Hot Spring Mansion have their eyes on what we produce here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was secretly using Pure White Mysterite Ointment, who knows what she was really up to?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she was just curious, we cannot tolerate actions that break the rules, else everyone will learn from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How will we manage then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, Guizhi was interrogating you just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were you shouting so loudly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think it helps you bully Guizhi, just because she is kind-hearted?” asked Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her glance was as sharp as a knife, with a hint of murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would not forgive anyone who dared bully her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luliu shivered, feeling as if she had been thrown into an ice cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was the Mistress so terrifying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chixin, hand her over to Liu Di outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tell him to send her to Ge Yapo,” ordered Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” As Chixin dragged Luliu out, she resisted, pleading for forgiveness on her knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice instinctively grew louder again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun, who had been impatiently waiting in the Inner Courtyard, knew the maid wasn’t going anywhere quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame of rage blazed within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He strode into the room, kicked Luliu out, and said fiercely, “Is this a servant disrespecting her master?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get out of here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or I’ll beat you to death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought to herself that this must be his version of being ‘evil.’ He was indeed fierce, a very wicked big man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like she would need a few more years of cultivating her temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luliu nearly had the wind knocked out of her from the kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrified, she couldn’t even cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chixin jerked her up and she quickly stumbled along, not daring to make a fuss anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guizhi too was amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took her a while to find her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My brother-in-law is amazing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu covered Dengdeng’s eyes, worried if this would adversely affect the child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun, looking complacent, said, “Don’t cover our son’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he grows up, I’ll teach him to fight, so that he only bullies others and is never bullied.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu twitched at the corner of her mouth, wondering whether he was trying to raise a privileged second-generation ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ruozhu, Brother-in-law, you two rest for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will go to the front to serve the guests,” Guizhi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the gaze Jiang Yichun cast at Bai Ruozhu, she immediately realized that she was being a third wheel and hurriedly found an excuse to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu cleared her throat awkwardly and said, “Guizhi, I’ll get a couple more maids afterwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have Chixin guide them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will ease your burden, and if anyone dares to defy you or act improperly, don’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beat them with ten planks and sell them immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, I know,” replied Guizhi, sticking out her tongue before happily running off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun eyed Bai Ruozhu and said, “Still not cruel enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only ten planks, while other families give twenty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, I don’t know how to be cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I practice on you first?” Bai Ruozhu glared back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, she found herself lifted by Jiang Yichun as if she was a little chick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything around her blurred as she was moved rapidly, and before she knew it, Dengdeng was plucked away and she was thrown into the Hot Spring Pool with a splash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Yichun, you idiot, I haven’t undressed yet!” Bai Ruozhu almost swallowed a mouthful of spring water, crying out in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun, along with Dengdeng, were now doubled over with laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cleared his throat and smirked at Bai Ruozhu, “Oh, so you wanted to undress, my dear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allow me to assist…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1275,"2026-05-30T14:09:10.984Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","68d6c51fe0418ba82b33c12697fe7d55525289c57e473edbdb2d949d3375b9d4","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-723","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-721",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
