Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 107 You're so kind-hearted, it makes me look like a bad guy.
Upon seeing Bai Lu, a hint of happiness appeared on Madam Bai's usually icy face.

Whether the smile was genuine or not, she did smile.

She waved to Bailu affectionately and said, "Oh, Lu'er is back! Let your mother see her."

She looked up and saw that she hadn't lost a single hair, and her fake smile became even more pronounced.

"Where have you been these past two days? Your mother was so worried that she had no choice but to ask around."

This served as an explanation for why he got angry with the servant, and also served as a convenient way to show off his cheap concern.

Bai Lu sat down on a chair nearby, forcing a smile, and said, "Don't think I can't see through your little schemes. We're both sensible people, why play these roundabout games? My father isn't here, so what are you pretending for?"

They even sent people to keep an eye on her at the restaurant, and they even pretended to ask her where she was going. It's ridiculous.

Upon hearing this, Madam Bai dropped her pretense and crossed her legs, saying, "Since you know I don't like you, and you don't like me, then what are you doing here? You didn't come here just to chat, did you?"

Bai Lu revealed two small tiger teeth and said, "I originally thought we could get along peacefully like this."

You can live your peaceful life as Mrs. Bai, and I can comfortably be my Miss Bai. We can each live our own lives, without any connection between us. Isn't that wonderful?

"Once I get married, we'll go our separate ways, never to see each other again, to the ends of the earth. That way, I can finally have peace and quiet, how carefree and comfortable!"

She paused, then raised an eyebrow and said, "But some people are just so idle. They have no time for anything, so they just have to make trouble for no reason instead of living a peaceful life. Isn't that strange?"

Why do you have to make things difficult for her when you could be living a perfectly good life?

Although she is kind, she is not a lamb to be bullied.

Madam Bai clicked her tongue and said, "Oh, young women are so thoughtful. I mean well and want to be good to you, but you treat me like a thief."

"They're throwing mud at me without even asking what happened."

Bai Lu retorted sarcastically, "Hmph, what kind of good person are you, someone who used who-knows-what kind of dirty tricks to get close to my father?"

"You..." Madam Bai's face turned pale with anger, and she said to the servant who was still whipping her, "Did you see that, Miss disrespected the mistress? According to the family rules, how should she be punished?"

The servant, his face bruised and swollen, replied, "Replying to... Madam... Our Bai family has no such family rule."

Although the Bai family was a large family, the patriarch had few children, so naturally no family rules were established.

If the Bai family truly had family rules, they wouldn't target the eldest daughter.

Madam Bai slapped the servant across the face, "Useless trash, keep hitting him. I didn't tell you to stop, so keep hitting him until tomorrow."

The servant was almost in tears, but he couldn't fight against the powerful and could only let it be.

The sounds of slapping were particularly loud in the empty room.

Bai Lu said to him with some reluctance, "You should go down first."

"You dare?!" Madam Bai shouted sternly.

With the husband away, she's the one in charge of the household.

"Get down!" Bai Lu raised her voice. Regardless of whether her father was there or not, she was still the eldest daughter of the Bai family.

Madam Xue was just a stepmother who had just married into the family; what right did she have to manage the household?

The servant looked aggrieved and didn't know whose advice to take.

The eldest young lady is the second most important person in the Bai family after the master. When the master is not around, they all listen to the eldest young lady.

But recently, the master has been very fond of this newly married Xue, and he dares not offend the madam.

At this moment, he missed his master terribly; he wished his master were home.

Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Bai Lu kicked him and said, "Get out of here."

The servant seized the opportunity and hurriedly ran away.

He ran quite a distance, then looked back in the direction of the main house, and felt a pang of worry for his young mistress.

Seeing that Bai Lu had let the person go, Madam Bai sneered, "You're so kind-hearted, it makes me look like a bad person."

Bai Lu tilted her head and asked with amusement, "Do you really need to show off like this? You're not a good person to begin with, and you're always pretending. Aren't you tired of it?"

She pretends to be gentle and virtuous in front of her father, and even puts on the persona of a talented woman. Heaven knows that her so-called talented woman just knows a few words.

He always boasts about how amazing his son is. If he were really that amazing, how come he wasn't even a student of the lowest rank?

She puts on an act in front of her father, then tries to portray herself as a loving mother in front of her. It really makes her look good.

Madam Bai touched her chest, quite angry. After a long while, she finally said, clutching her handkerchief, "Do you need something from me? If not, get lost."

If you push her too far, she's capable of anything.

Bai Lu touched her nose. "Now that you've asked, if I don't say anything, I'll be accused of being impolite, and people might even say I don't respect you, Madam."

As she spoke, she clapped her hands, and soon five tall men dragged the three people into the house.

These three people were the two fat chefs and the waiter from Hongfu Restaurant.

Upon seeing Madam Bai, the three of them immediately tried to say something, but their mouths were stuffed with something, and they couldn't utter a clear or complete sentence no matter how hard they tried.

Bai Lu gave a wink, and a man very kindly pulled the cloth out of the mouths of the three of them.

The three of them immediately shouted.

"Madam Bai, help! This little bitch is going to rebel!"

"Madam, you must stand up for us! My eyes hurt so much!"

"Madam, my leg hurts so much, you can't let her off the hook."

Madam Bai squinted slightly, leaned back, and then crossed her legs before asking, "Do I know you?"

"what?"

"this?"

"What does Madam mean by this?"

The three men were puzzled. They had been acting according to the lady's wishes, so why was she suddenly pretending not to know them?
The two fat men were not good with words. When the waiter realized something was wrong, he immediately turned around and kowtowed to Bai Lu, saying, "Miss, it was all Madam's orders. We were just following orders."

Since the lady is so unethical, then don't blame him for turning to Miss Bai.

Bai Lu rested her chin on her hand and looked at Xue Shi with a surprised expression. "Oh my, really? Could it be that you really ordered these three guys to spy on me? And even lay a hand on me?"

This is truly a "surprise" for me! I thought you were such an upright and honorable person; I never expected you to do something like this.

Madam Bai quickly shook her head, "How could that be? I... I only had them protect you secretly. They must have had bad intentions because they saw how pretty you are."

She couldn't fall out with Bai Lu in front of these people, otherwise, if Bai Lu disappeared and was bullied and lost her virginity, the master would suspect her.

She wanted to get rid of Bailu without anyone noticing, and more importantly, clear herself of any wrongdoing; the time wasn't right yet.

Madam Bai said, "Guards, give these three men fifty lashes and send them to Jinzhou to mine coal."

Mining coal in Datang is a hard and dangerous job, often resulting in no return.

"Since you're going to sell someone, how can you do it without a contract of servitude?"

Bai Lu smiled and handed the three of their indentures to the man beside her.

The three struggled and roared, but were still led away.

The room returned to silence.

Madam Bai had only intended to put on a show, but Bai Lu directly produced the indenture, effectively sending the three men away.

She forced a smile and said, "Lu'er, look how thin you've become. Don't go out for a while, just stay home and rest."

Bai Lu waved her hand, "I'm not like some people who can eat and drink other people's food without a care in the world, like a bloodsucker."

As a member of the Bai family, she naturally had to share her father's burdens and solve his problems.

She wanted to make Hongfu Restaurant a success, and if she succeeded this time, it would bring a lot of income to her family.

Even after she gets married, she can use this successful experience to gain a foothold in her husband's family.

As the eldest daughter of the Bai family, her future husband's family will certainly be quite good as well.

Madam Bai, who was essentially freeloading, didn't care about her mockery at all. She had only managed to climb into the Bai family through her beauty and ability.

She must be sick to give up her good fortune and go out to suffer.

After Bai Lu left, Chu Yu emerged from behind the screen.

He said with dissatisfaction, "Mother, are you just going to let her go like this?"
