CHAPTER 366 (1): SAW HIM

All the palace maids began to work faster, causing the number of people who came by the well to fill their wooden basins with water to increase as well. It wasn’t long before Su Xi-er had lost count of how many buckets of well water she had drawn, her hands turning red as her body heated up.

When Chao Mu came, she noticed that Su Xi-er’s hands were covered with streaks of red marks from the well ropes and immediately offered, “You can help me wash the dishes; I’ll draw the well water in your place.”

She then stood up and tried to snatch away the bucket Su Xi-er was holding.

However, just as she did so, one of the other palace maids stealthily reached out and pinched Chao Mu’s calf.

Chao Mu yelped out in pain as her leg retracted in reflex, making her unable to keep her balance as she pitched forwards towards Su Xi-er.

Su Xi-er’s gaze swiftly swept around her, spotting a palace maid standing next to where Chao Mu had been. This palace maid is the one I drenched earlier. Looks like she’s managed to change into some dry clothes.

Circling a hand around Chao Mu’s waist, with a deft flick of Su Xi-er’s wrist, she flung the bucket in her hand at the palace maid’s head.

Not expecting Su Xi-er to be so decisive, the palace maid was caught completely off guard when the well bucket came flying through the air. It struck it’s target dead-on, causing a wound on her forehead that immediately began to bleed and swell.

The other palace maids yelled, “She actually dared to hurt someone!” Many of them pointed their fingers at Su Xi-er, claiming that she intentionally targeted the other maid’s head..

Chao Mu could barely stand without the help of Su Xi-er. By the time she managed to stay upright, she was already furiously berating the other palace maids. “Who said that she hit someone? That person clearly pinched my leg on purpose! Su Xi-er accidentally lost control of the well bucket!”
