At a certain moment, the alluring man received a signal from Mo Rufeng and slowly said, "How about being a lowly maid who sweeps and cleans? If there's nothing else to do, help the girls in the courtyard empty their chamber pots or something?"
"You want me to empty the chamber pot?!" Su Chen was shocked. She thought she would be asked to dance or sing a song or something. Who would have thought she would be asked to do this?
Please! She's the kind of person who would be ashamed of herself even when she goes to the toilet!
The flamboyant man raised his voice: "What? You want to clean the chamber pot again?"
"No need, no need..." Su Chen waved her hands repeatedly.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head; she compromised.
They quickly assigned her to a maid's room with more than a dozen other maids, and stuffed a damp quilt into the corner of the wall for her.
The other dozen or so maids in the room looked at her with even more strange expressions.
A few days later, Su Chen learned that they all thought she had tried to climb into Mo Rufeng's bed but failed and was instead left here as a rough maid, so no one wanted to get close to her.
Besides, her arrival meant there was to be space for a bed, so the others had to squeeze in, which caused them a lot of complaints. It was already a big favor that they didn't lay a hand on her.
Su Chen only realized when she started working that reality was even worse than she imagined.
They would get up in the middle of the night, collect the chamber pots from room to room, empty them one by one and stack them together, and then return them to each room after the person who cleaned the chamber pots finished.
This whole process takes more than two hours to complete.
Besides, she also had to help other maids with laundry and other chores during the day.
So, when you calculate it, you get less than four hours of sleep a day.
Su Chen was losing weight at a visible rate, and her hands were getting rougher day by day. She even soaked them in ice water because of the cold weather, which caused them to crack. They were incredibly itchy at night, and her already short sleep time was further compressed.
Just when Su Chen felt she was about to be exhausted to death, her "dear" villain finally couldn't resist coming to enjoy her miserable life.
The moment Mo Rufeng saw Su Chen, his initial joy vanished.
Looking at the dull, slightly sunken face and the red, swollen, and cracked little hands, his eyes darkened instantly. He grabbed Su Chen's little arm, gently tossed her into the air, and then held her in his arms.
She's lost a lot of weight... Is it because no one's feeding her? Mo Rufeng's sharp eyes swept over them, and everyone lowered their heads in fright.
The alluring man also looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Without explaining to anyone, Ke Mo Rufeng carried Su Chen directly to the clinic.
"Why did you bring me to the clinic?" Wasn't this guy just waiting to see her in this miserable state so he could make fun of her? Why did he even come to the clinic?
Could it be... that you want to feed her some poison?
Thinking of the poison, Su Chen couldn't help but shrink back in his arms.
"Are you cold?" Mo Rufeng felt her trembling, tightened his grip slightly, and pulled the cloak down to cover her.
Su Chen immediately looked flattered.
Mo Rufeng saw this and his heart tightened even more.
"You should get some sleep first," Mo Rufeng said, covering her eyes with his large hand.
His eyes were still open, and his eyelashes, like feathers, brushed against his palm, tickling him, not just in his heart but also in his hands...
Su Chen blinked for a while, seeing that he didn't seem to be letting go.
Since I was indeed sleep-deprived, I simply went to sleep.
But this sleep wasn't very peaceful.
Su Chen had a dream in which someone imprisoned her in a place and punished her endlessly. She also dreamed that she had become a demon, and the person watching over her was... Mo Rufeng.
She screamed and ran away, but to no avail. Then, a warm and familiar scent enveloped her…
