And there she was, with her rear end sticking up in the air like a dog eating shit, head down.
Xia Muxin couldn't be bothered to pay her any mind. The reason she personally brought the soup was selfish; Sister Tang from the Tang Family Medical Hall was a renowned healer in the capital. She came to find out if her father, Summer Forest, could still be treated.
After all, he had been injured for several years. In this backward ancient time, she dared not hold too much hope, but as long as there was even a glimmer of hope, she wouldn't let it slip away.
However, glancing at the private room and seeing how the others were devouring their food, she decided it was best not to disturb them. According to Uncle Bingzi, this place was Sister Tang's esteemed guest area. Whether or not she offended anyone here was irrelevant; as long as she didn't ruin Sister Tang's mood, that was enough.
Thinking about how her father had been slapped by such a brainless young woman must have stung him deeply. She decided to check on him first.
"Hey, you in the patched gray clothes, get down here!" Just as she turned around, a sharp voice rang out from below.
Xia Muxin's lips curled into a smirk, a cold glint flashing in her eyes as she turned back to see the foolish girl pointing at herself. "Me?"
"Yes, you! You filthy country bumpkin who can't even carry a bowl of water! Get down here and kneel to apologize to me!"
"Get down and apologize to our lady!"
"Or we'll break your legs!"
"How dare you show your rustic face in Town? I thought no one would ever see you again."
The young lady shouted, and several maids, emboldened by her presence, began to scold and insult Xia Muxin furiously.
Xia Muxin looked at the group below her, who were glaring like shrews, and disdainfully shook her head. She then spoke calmly, "If you can be tripped by a bowl of water, do you even deserve to be human? If it were me, I would have gone back to my mother's womb to be remade."
"You shameless country bumpkin, come down here! Can't you see? The water was splashed on the steps!" The young lady was momentarily taken aback but soon became furious, pointing at Xia Muxin.
"I certainly have eyes; it's just that some people are blind," Xia Muxin retorted, subtly mocking her arrogance.
"You! You! Cui'er, Erxi, pull this uncultured bumpkin down here! Just wait and see how I deal with her!" The young lady was infuriated by Xia Muxin's words and rolled up her sleeves, barking orders at the maids.
The maids had been itching for a fight. Upon hearing their mistress's command, they exchanged glances and strode down the steps towards Xia Muxin.
Outnumbered and weak, Xia Muxin knew she couldn't confront them directly. Moreover, thoughts of her bullied father filled her mind. Just as she turned to leave, she felt a rush of hot air coming her way.
One of the maids was holding a bowl of hot soup. Seeing Xia Muxin trying to escape, she splashed both hands forward, sending the scalding liquid flying toward Xia Muxin's back.
Caught off guard, Xia Muxin turned just in time to see a steaming arc heading straight for her. She barely had time to react.
Suddenly, she felt a strange numbness in her legs as if swept by an unseen wind. In a moment of panic, she watched as the soup changed direction and splashed onto the young lady below instead.
