Liu Chengjiu, who had yet to experience Maid He's foul mood, dared to ask, "Which important guests?"
Instead of an answer, he got a crisp slap across the cheek.
Maid He was just a beta, but her slap was hard enough to make Liu Chengjiu tumble backward and bumped against several chamber pots, sending their content spilling all over the floor.
Su Liyan gagged from the stench.
"Impudent!" Maid He cried out. "Look at what you have done! Quickly clean everything, take a bath, change into your best uniform, and then report to the inner courtyard!"
"..."
Maid He left soon after, presumably to take a bath and change into her best uniform.
Su Liyan rushed toward Liu Chengjiu, her face crumpled and her eyes brimming with tears.
"Chengjiu! Are you alright? Gosh... She was so mean!"
Liu Chengjiu looked down and saw that the lower hem of his uniform was soiled with the spillage.
He sighed softly.
"What is going on, anyway? What's with the summon? We haven't even had our dinner yet."
