Chapter 1153 Dark Cinderella
Being stared at by two people at the same time, Shi Li got goose bumps all over her body.
At this time, his little head was spinning quickly, and he said proudly: "When I came out, I met the palace attendant. He specially held an umbrella for me and sent me to the carriage!"
"Ahhh! Mommy, mommy! Why is there no servant holding an umbrella for me? This is not fair!" Serin began to roar as usual, shaking her mother's arm while shouting.
The mother was dizzy from being shaken by her and did not think about whether what Shi Li said was true or false.
Having gotten away with it, Shi Li breathed a sigh of relief and looked out the window.
The rain has lightened up.
I heard that the eldest prince has been in poor health since he was a child, but when she looked at Lorraine, she didn't think he looked weak. Could he be pretending?
Why did he pretend to be sick? The king's preference for him was so obvious, he should be more likely to inherit the throne than Arthur, and was he the prince that Cinderella finally married?
Shi Li began to feel inexplicably sour in her heart again.
After the ball, the king called Lorraine and Arthur to his study.
"The three-day dance is over. Have you found a girl you like?"
The king asked symbolically, his eyes swept across Arthur's face, and finally fell on Lorraine's face. Looking at this face that was similar to the first queen, he felt a fatherly heart again.
"Father! I have found the one I love, and I want to marry her!" Arthur answered first, full of jealousy and resentment.
All he got in return was the king's cold face, "You should go see your sick mother and Anne first."
"But I..." Arthur clenched his fists and wanted to argue unwillingly. Under the king's cold gaze, he swallowed the rest of his words and walked out of the study dejectedly.
Only Prince Lorraine was left in the room.
Facing the king's expectant gaze, he smiled and nodded, "Yes, I have found my fiancée. However, I think she might be a little shy."
"That doesn't matter. You can get engaged first! I think the girl's family will be happy with it!"
The king smiled widely, raised his hand and patted Lorraine on the shoulder, and said with relief, "From now on, the whole country will be yours."
what?
Mrs. Anna, who was eavesdropping outside the study, turned pale instantly.
She had originally thought that by marrying Anne to Arthur, she would be able to sit back and relax and wait to become the king's mother-in-law. But now she heard with her own ears that the throne belonged to Lorraine. How could she be willing to accept this!
If it weren't for the future wealth and glory, she wouldn't force herself to give herself to the king.
no! Absolutely not!
While no one was noticing her, Mrs. Anna tiptoed away.
When Shi Li, her mother and daughter returned home, they found that Cindy was in even more of a mess than the day before. She was soaking wet and wrapped in only an old blanket.
"I'm sorry, mother. I was just taking a shower." She lowered her head humbly in front of her mother and forced an explanation.
Her mother looked at her deeply, then looked at her wet hair, and walked past her without saying a word.
Serin was still angry about someone holding an umbrella for Shi Li, so she stomped her feet and trotted up the stairs.
Shi Li walked at the end. She didn't want to draw Cindy's attention, so she didn't even look at her.
After returning to the room, she saw the sparrow lying beside her pillow, seemingly asleep. She felt sad again. She did not touch it as usual, but walked to the dressing table and packed up the gold and silver jewelry she was going to take with her when she escaped the next day.
After touching each one, Shi Li lay down to rest.
Thinking that I would never be able to lie so comfortably on the soft bed again, I sighed slightly.
[Anchor... Actually, I think Luo Lin likes you a little bit. You don't have to run away, right? ]
[I also don’t think it’s necessary. Lorraine is a prince! ]
[If you get closer to the sparrows, you might marry the prince earlier than Cinderella.]
"I wouldn't dare bet on this kind of thing."
Shi Li looked at the barrage, and then secretly glanced at the little sparrow beside him, "If I lose the bet, can anyone help me put on the iron dance shoes?"
The barrage of comments suddenly fell silent.
It is indeed a stupid thing to gamble your life with a man's heart, especially for a prince as noble and mysterious as Lorraine.
Shi Like didn't dare to gamble.
Everything was ready for the escape, but when Shi Li asked her mother to let her go to her grandfather's house the next day, her mother refused.
"Why bother them for no reason?"
Mother sat on the chair and looked at Shi Li coldly, "Stay at home. What if the prince chooses our family to be his concubine in a few days? What will we do if you are not here?"
By that time, disaster will really strike.
Shi Li was trembling in her heart. Just as she was about to look up to speak, she saw her mother playing with the attic key with a deep smile on her face.
She had someone lock Cindy in the small attic early this morning, and she had the only key that could open the attic.
