Chapter 1131 Dark Cinderella
After Shi Li left the room, a white light suddenly flashed beside her pillow.
After the white light went out, the little sparrow lying in the nest disappeared, and instead, a living person stood beside the bed.
He has a slender figure, his eyes are as bright as stars and the moon, and he holds a magic wand in his hand.
"Avenge me?"
After muttering what Shi Li had just said, Lorraine smiled slightly.
The real little sparrow was released by him last night. He turned himself into a sparrow and stayed here because he was curious about why such a pure soul existed.
Shi Li was different from what he had originally imagined.
I originally thought that she had a soul as pure, white and transparent as possible, and that she should be a weak, innocent fool. But I didn't expect that she would be so fierce when she got angry, and would even threaten and scare people.
Like a prickly little rose.
As for Celine who dared to throw him out of the window, Lorraine could not let her go. He lightly tapped the air with his wand and smiled with satisfaction.
Hearing the footsteps outside the door, he turned back into a sparrow and lay comfortably in the soft towel nest.
After Shi Li finished taking care of Serin, she walked back very lightly, fearing that she would scare the little sparrow.
When I walked over and saw it looking at me with its eyes open, I couldn't help but stretch out my hand in front of it, motioning for it to jump into my palm.
The little sparrow hesitated for a moment, then jumped up slowly.
Shi Li held it in the palm of her hand and gently tapped its little head with her fingers.
"You're quite tenacious, little guy. Fortunately, you didn't die, otherwise I would definitely feel guilty. Don't worry, I will protect you from now on and will never give others the chance to bully you again."
Lorraine looked at the determined girl through the sparrow's eyes, and finally uttered a crisp "chirp".
The cry was childish and cute. Shi Li lowered her head and kissed it on the top of its head again.
Later, the merchant's stepfather returned home, and the family of four sat in the spacious and bright dining room to enjoy dinner.
In the past, Sandy could only eat dry bread in the small attic. Now, in order to stop the gossip outside, she was allowed to sit at the dining table.
Although I sat in the farthest corner, at least I could enjoy the same sumptuous dinner as everyone else.
My stepfather has always turned a blind eye to this.
He was just a fallen nobleman, his status was much lower than Shi Li's mother, and it was not easy for him to marry her, so he didn't care at all if his own daughter was wronged or bullied.
My stepfather was usually very busy and didn't come home often to eat with us, so we were all very quiet. Except for the occasional sound of dishes colliding, there was nothing else.
Shi Li thought the steak tonight was grilled really well, fat and juicy, and she didn't bother to care what other people thought, and just concentrated on eating one bite after another.
When they were almost done eating, the stepfather slowly wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and turned to look at his mother.
"Mrs. Anna will come to visit us tomorrow morning."
The mother was slightly startled, but she quickly reacted, with a different light flashing in her eyes, "Mrs. Anna? Our family is truly honored."
As we all know, Lady Anna is Prince Arthur's distant aunt. She can visit the queen and the prince at any time and knows their preferences very well.
The fact that she was willing to condescend to visit our home at this time must have been because her stepfather had given her a lot of benefits in private.
"So, don't waste this opportunity."
The stepfather spoke in a low voice, his eyes slowly swept over the three daughters below him, and finally stopped at Cindy. He paused slightly and said meaningfully: "No matter which one it is, there is a chance."
The mother pulled the corners of her mouth, smiled and nodded, "You are right, I understand."
Among the people present, except for Serin who was still a little confused, everyone else understood.
If they could find out what Prince Arthur likes from Mrs. Anna tomorrow, it would be easy for them to stand out at the ball.
Or maybe I could just win the favor of Lady Anna tomorrow and get her to say a few good words to the queen or the little prince, which would be a great thing.
Although Cindy kept looking down at the table, an ambiguous light began to flicker in her beautiful, bright eyes.
At the same time, in a distant palace, a family was also having dinner together.
Unlike Shi Li's family, the dinner in the palace was more sumptuous, the candlesticks on the table were brighter, and there were more servants standing around.
"Is Lorraine still feeling uncomfortable today?"
The king glanced at the empty chair below, frowned and asked the servant beside him.
The servant bowed his head and said, "The servant beside the eldest prince said that the eldest prince will be here soon."
"That's good."
The king was very satisfied. He glanced at the queen and little prince Arthur sitting on the other side and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since our family had dinner together."
