nThere was no need to think about it. How could they expect to be treated well after she killed two soldiers?

n

n“Miss, I’ll get you some food.”

n

nShe stood up and walked out of the tent. After a while, she returned with a steamed bun and a small plate of pickled vegetables.

n

nWhen Xue Ling saw the steamed bun and pickled vegetables, her eyes burned with anger.

n

n“What are you holding? Is that food meant to be eaten by humans?”

n

nHow could she eat such food? She was a businessman’s daughter, after all. When had she ever had to eat miserable food? Apart from the days under An Jiuyue’s treehouse, she had never suffered.

n

n“Don’t be picky, Miss.” Xiao Zhu looked at the food she brought indifferently.

n

n“It’s good enough that you can get these. The soldiers outside refused to give me any food when I said I’m bringing you food. I had to say I wanted them.”

n

nShe was not lying. When the soldiers outside heard that Xue Ling wanted to eat, they almost stepped on a steamed bun before giving it to her.

n

nIt was obvious that everyone hated Xue Ling to the core.

n

n“What did you say?!”

n

nXue Ling was so angry she wished she could kill the soldiers outside.

n

nHowever, she could not do so now. She could only vent her anger on Xiao Zhu.

n

nWhen Xiao Zhu brought the steamed bun and pickled vegetables to her, she reached out and pinched Xiao Zhu’s arm.

n

n“Ouch!”

n

nFeeling the pain, Xiao Zhu shook off Xue Ling’s hand instinctively. Xue Ling lost her balance and slipped off the stool, falling to the ground.

n

n“Ah!” Xue Ling screamed and glared at Xiao Zhu with reddened eyes.

n

n“You useless thing, you’re… Ah!”

n

nShe wanted to reach out and pinch Xiao Zhu a few more times, but Xiao Zhu slapped her hand away.

n

n“You—you dare hit me?”

n

nShe looked at Xiao Zhu in shock. She was her maid! How dare she hit her?

n

n“Why wouldn’t I?”

n

nXiao Zhu looked at Xue Ling ferociously, her murderous intent obvious.

n

n“Not only do I dare to hit you, but I’ll also kill you if you provoke me! Just like how you killed those two soldiers! After I kill you, I’ll escape from here, and no one will be able to find me!”

n

n“You…” Xue Ling trembled involuntarily.

n

nShe knew that one could do anything if they were forced into a corner. However, she could not figure out why Xiao Zhu dared to say these things when she had only pinched her.

n

n“Don’t you dare!”

n

nXiao Zhu smiled coldly. “Since you don’t like these, you don’t have to eat them, Miss.”

n

nShe took the steamed bun and pickled vegetables away.

n

nI have a mouth too! I know how to eat too! Why should I care about this b*tch? I can just ignore her! Let’s see how long it’ll take her to starve to death if I don’t bring food for her!

n

n“You, you…”

n

nXue Ling watched helplessly as Xiao Zhu took away the steamed bun and pickled vegetables. Her eyes were bloodshot.

n

n“Xiao Zhu, you… you’re the Xue family’s servant. You best believe I can kill you!”

n

n“Hmph!” Xiao Zhu turned around and glanced at Xue Ling in disdain.

n

nJust a moment ago, before she left the tent, she would not have dared to do anything to Xue Ling. But now… She sneered.
