Chiang Xiao learns that Guan Tiezhu may have had a past love with the Second Miss, a woman he supported years ago and who disappeared. Lu Shuangshuang has been searching for the Second Miss and has kept Fei Cui resembling her to potentially use her later. Lu Shuangshuang intends to test the Sixth Young Master's memory regarding the Second Miss and their past engagement.
Fei Cui, likely a trusted confidante of Lu Shuangshuang, grew up alongside her. Despite her dislike for Fei Cui's appearance, Lu Shuangshuang placed considerable trust in her. As a result, Fei Cui was privy to a great deal of information. Once Chiang Xiao had extracted all the details she desired, Fei Cui’s interrogation concluded as there were matters she was unaware of or unclear about. If Lu Shuangshuang genuinely possessed no knowledge of the truth behind the Sixth Young Master's past predicament, it was conceivable to allow her to depart. Waiting until the Sixth Young Master was definitively incapacitated would be the opportune moment to deal with her. Chiang Xiao felt this excursion yielded significant insights, clarifying many uncertainties. The matter of the broken engagement, the Sixth Young Master's beloved, and furthermore, within the Jiang Family, she had successfully identified at least two spies. Chiang Xiao had posed so many complex questions that, upon finally organizing her thoughts and sitting down, she truly grasped the extent of her exhaustion. Fei Cui had already succumbed to a deep slumber. Approaching Lu Shuangshuang, Chiang Xiao retrieved a pair of scissors from her spatial storage. Gazing at Lu Shuangshuang's thick, dark, and lengthy hair, she began to cut, leaving an uneven, jagged mess resembling a dog's chew toy. Now, it remained to be seen if Lu Shuangshuang could still shamelessly frequent the Jiang Family and flaunt herself before her father. She returned the scissors to her storage, extended her hand, and delivered several consecutive slaps to Lu Shuangshuang. These blows caused Lu Shuangshuang’s face to become visibly swollen. Still feeling unsatisfied, Chiang Xiao followed with two punches directly to Lu Shuangshuang’s eyes, transforming her into a bruised spectacle. After enduring such repeated assaults, Lu Shuangshuang finally stirred awake. Pain... "Which bastard grew some audacity, huh..." Still disoriented, she instinctively began to curse. Simultaneously, she felt the agony in her face and eyes, the pain in her eyes making it a struggle to open them. Even speaking exacerbated the hurt in her face. Chiang Xiao let out a cold sneer. So, she could still curse, could she. The esteemed Miss Lu, lauded externally for her virtue and grace, was certainly not displaying such gentle qualities now. Before Lu Shuangshuang could even open her eyes, Chiang Xiao raised her hand and struck her again. "Ah!" Lu Shuangshuang, having grown up in extreme comfort and privilege, had never experienced such a physical violation. This was her first realization of the true pain of being struck! The agony caused her to shriek in torment, breaking out in a cold sweat and unable to recover. Upon hearing Lu Shuangshuang's screams, Yue Yang hastened over and knocked on the door. Chiang Xiao took one last look at Lu Shuangshuang, exited the room, and firmly closed the door. "Miss?" Yue Yang inquired with concern, "Are you unharmed?" Chiang Xiao shook her head, "I am perfectly fine. However, Uncle Yang, brace yourself; you might be quite shocked by Lu Shuangshuang's appearance." This statement sent a wave of unease through Yue Yang. What, precisely, did 'a bit shocked' imply? Chiang Xiao continued, "Furthermore, Uncle Yang, ensure my presence remains undisclosed. Lu Shuangshuang relishes playing the victim, so let us proceed as if she were genuinely abducted." Eventually, the Lu Family would undoubtedly deduce that the Jiang Family was responsible, but would they possess any concrete proof? This tactic mirrored their own underhanded methods; if the Lu Family resorted to such ploys, Chiang Xiao was equally capable. They truly considered themselves easily intimidated. To bully her, attempt to assassinate her father, and then feign an abduction, expecting her father to search for and rescue her?
