The entire canteen suddenly became quiet.
"Head maid, we want to help." Several maids came forward to register.
Gu An Xia could not help but be a little surprised. She had thought that she really was someone who despised tens of thousands of people and did not have any hope of treating her nicely anymore. She did not expect that someone would actually take the initiative to help her.
The head maid looked at the few notorious bullies and nodded. "Go on."
After receiving their approval, Gu An Xia and the rest went over to the castle's common toilet used by the servants. Before they even walked in, they could smell a terrible stench from far away.
Gu An Xia frowned, and asked: "No face mask or gloves?"
"Usually, the higher-ups don't issue this. You can use it if there's anything inside. If there isn't, then do it yourself." In fact, they hid their masks and gloves in advance.
Gu An Xia walked in while covering his nose, and turned to see that they were still outside the door, and asked: "Aren't you guys coming in?"
"You clean up first. We've just eaten our fill and need to rest for a while." Servant girl B answered perfunctorily.
Gu An Xia immediately understood. He thought that they had taken the initiative to help her out of kindness, but who knew that they had come to slack off.
She was too lazy to care about anything else. She went in and searched around. There was nothing in the face mask and gloves. There was only a simple bathroom broom and an old mop.
Gu An Xia was suddenly at a loss as to what to do.
At this moment, another voice shouted, "Hurry up, if you don't finish cleaning within two hours, you will be scolded."
Even a fool could tell that they were deliberately making things difficult for her. There were at least a dozen toilets in the room. Let alone two hours, she wouldn't be able to clean them all by herself for twelve hours.
In the end, he added, "Do you still want to eat?"
Gu An Xia secretly clenched his fists as he carried the bucket and waited for the water. He directly brought the mop to the clean toilet.
After continuously cleaning a few latrines, she was already exhausted to the point of gasping for breath. Seeing that there was still an entire row of latrines, Gu An Xia gasped for breath, before continuing with his cleanliness.
This made the bored people outside unhappy. They had thought that this would be enough to make her cry for her parents. They hadn't expected her to clean the place by herself without saying a word.
The few of them exchanged glances with each other before walking in.
Sensing the sound of footsteps, Gu An Xia suddenly turned around and asked curiously, "Why did you come in?"
"Seeing that you've been cleaning for so long, we feel bad and have come to help." The maid A casually said, as she casually picked up a broom and made a gesture in the air, then "accidentally" hit Gu An Xia.
Gu An Xia suddenly jumped up, rubbing his aching right arm, he angrily shouted: "What are you doing!"
The maid said innocently, "Aiya, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."
She really didn't do it on purpose, she just did it on purpose.
Gu An Xia frowned, seeing that she had already apologized, he did not know what to say, thinking that they had come to make trouble on purpose, and tactfully laughed: "You guys should go out and rest, I will come here alone. As for newcomers, I want to do some work."
"No need, no need, how can I be so embarrassed? Little B, Little C, help me change the bucket of clean water." The maid said meaningfully.
The servant B and the maid C laughed, then went forward and picked up the bucket of water Gu An Xia used to wash the toilet and walked towards the pond.
Seeing this, Gu An Xia did not think much of it, and turned to continue wiping the toilet door.
Suddenly, the entire bucket of cold water was poured over her head, drenching her completely.
"Ah — —" Gu An Xia could not help but scream.
An unrestrained mocking laughter came from behind him. "Haha, look at her."
A stench filled Gu An Xia's nose, and she secretly clenched her fists.
These people had gone too far.
Gu An Xia turned around to face the maid B and struck her hard.
"Ah, what are you doing?" The maid B was caught off guard and his clothes got wet. She lifted the hem of her skirt in disgust, and instantly became angry from embarrassment. She walked forward and fiercely pulled Gu An Xia's hair and slapped him, and scolded him, "Who do you think you are, little bitch. You actually dared to hit me like this."
His scalp felt numb, and the right side of his face was burning with pain. Gu An Xia painfully pulled on Servant B's hair.
"Ahh!" The servant girl screamed miserably, looking even more ridiculous than Gu An Xia.
Very quickly, the maid A and the maid C came forward to help pry Gu An Xia's hands away.
She could not resist them and was pushed to the ground.
All of a sudden, his body was being punched and kicked by the power from all around him. Gu An Xia protected his head tightly and wanted to get up to retaliate, but he was slapped again.
After the few of them had vented their anger enough, they cursed, "Don't know what's good for you!" before leaving in a rage.
Gu An Xia lied on the ground in a sorry state, her mouth reeked of blood, and her entire body was wrapped up in cold sweat, as though she had lost all her energy, and did not want to get up.
After lying down for an unknown period of time, she was woken up by loud noises coming from her side.
Gu An Xia opened her eyes in a daze, the blinding light caused her to subconsciously close her eyes again. Immediately after, she felt someone lightly kick her, and ridiculed, "Still not getting up, young master went to find you to warm the bed."
What was she talking about? Gu An Xia's head was in a daze, he could not hear everything clearly.
"Give her another bucket of cold water. I don't think she'll remember that." It was unknown who suggested it, but it was immediately approved by the others.
What did he say … Gu An Xia struggled to open her heavy eyelids, but was unable to. Her entire body was powerless, making it difficult for her to even move a single inch.
Suddenly, the freezing cold water poured down on her from the head, causing her to wake up.
Gu An Xia suddenly sat up and coughed a few times. The sweet blood was spat out onto the ground along with the ice water in his mouth.
The maids took a few steps back in disgust, their eyes showed no mercy, but they continued to urge, "Hurry, the young master is looking for you."
Young Master? Gu An Xia facepalmed as he recalled, only then did his blurry consciousness return.
Yes, young master, she is now reduced to a little maid.
"Did you hear that? Hurry up, what are you pretending for?" One of the maids came up impatiently and kicked her again.
Gu An Xia suddenly raised his eyes, which revealed a frightening coldness as he looked at the maid.
The maid took a few steps back.
"I know …" Gu An Xia said weakly, her voice so hoarse that even she was surprised.
After saying that, she staggered up against the wall beside her. Her drowsy head almost made her fall down.
Several maids let her out of the way, looking down on her as she moved step by step towards the door.
"Who are you putting on an act for?" Suddenly, a mocking voice came from behind. It wasn't loud, so she was able to hear it.
Gu An Xia paused for a moment, gritting his teeth, he walked towards Ouyang Yu's room.
