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

“Miss, I’ll get you some food.”

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

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

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

How 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.

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

“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.”

She 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.

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

“What did you say?!”

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

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

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

“Ouch!”

Feeling 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.

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

“You useless thing, you’re… Ah!”

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

“You—you dare hit me?”

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

“Why wouldn’t I?”

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

“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!”

“You…” Xue Ling trembled involuntarily.

She 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.

“Don’t you dare!”

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

She took the steamed bun and pickled vegetables away.

I 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!

“You, you…”

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

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

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

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