She hurriedly stepped over Madam Xie and the others, rushing to the table to sit on a stool, eagerly eyeing the dishes with a sweetly persuasive voice, “Sister, you’re amazing to have actually brought the food.”

“Are you hungry, Chuner?” Xuexue placed a bowl of rice in front of her.

“Yeah! I’m so hungry I could die, my stomach’s stuck to my back–it’s awful!” said Chuner pitifully.

Truth be told, she hadn’t felt this way in a long time, not since she had left the Mo family. Today was the first time she’d felt hungry.

“Then eat up quickly,” Xuexue said as she put a chicken leg in Chuner’s bowl.

“Mhm!” Chuner reached out her little hand, grabbed the chicken leg, and bit fiercely into it. After chewing a few times and swallowing, just as she was about to eagerly take a second bite, she suddenly seemed to remember something, looked up at Xuexue, and asked, “Sister, what food have you prepared for the big tiger?”

It was only then that Xuexue remembered. In her hurry, she had forgotten about Qi Miao’s food. She slapped her forehead and said with regret, “Oh no! I actually forgot about the big tiger’s food.”

“What should we do? The big tiger worked so hard carrying the two of us today; we can’t let it go hungry.”

“Don’t worry, Chuner, I’ll go get its food right now,” Xuexue said as she stood up.

Madam Xie pulled her back, “Xuexue, eat your meal first then go.”

“No, if I go late, there won’t be any food left in the kitchen, and the big tiger will go hungry all night! It can’t go hungry. If it gets too hungry… it eats people.”

At these words, Madam Xie let go of Xuexue in a hurry and urged her, “Hurry up then, grab plenty of food. We can’t have the big tiger go hungry.”

Xuexue kept a straight face, but inside she was jumping for joy. She knew exactly how to deal with her stepmother.

Unexpectedly, when she went back to the kitchen this time, no one stopped her. In fact, they avoided her as if they were afraid, and Xuexue smoothly got several roasted chickens and headed back.

Green Zhui Yard

Lady Tang sat at the head of the table, with her children seated below her. Just now, she had sent her personal maid to invite Situ Yongjie to join them for the meal.

Who knew that Situ Yongjie would excuse himself, saying he was worn out from the journey and refuse her invitation.

At this moment, she sat in front of the dining table with a dark expression, unable to eat. Especially when she thought of Xuexue’s address of “second mother,” it irked her even more. She had hoped to have Situ Yongjie come for the meal, to whisper in his ear and have him teach Xuexue a lesson, to discipline her for being disrespectful and daring to humiliate her in public.

“Mother, don’t be angry. If father didn’t come, he must have been tired from the long journey,” Situtu Qinger said as she placed a delicate meatball in Lady Tang’s bowl.

“No matter how tired, you still need to eat. I see that your father only has eyes for that little bastard, completely forgetting about us,” Lady Tang regretted deeply after seeing Xuexue. If only she had killed that little bastard back then, none of this would be happening now.

Especially when seeing Xuexue’s appearance–not clad in fine clothing or adorned with expensive jewelry–her exceedingly beautiful face and graceful figure surpassed even Situtu Qinger’s.

The more Lady Tang thought about it, the more she seethed with hatred. The chopsticks in her hand were squeezed as if they were Xuexue, ever tighter.

“Mother, don’t break them. If you keep squeezing like that, the chopsticks will snap!” Situtu Qinger was hateful, too, but one still had to eat, right? After all, one needed to be well-fed to have the strength to deal with that little cheap person.
