Chapter 90 Cinderella(1/2)

"Is this...Is it me?" In the dark, cold room, Meili looked at the figure in the mirror in astonishment, feeling that it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen in her life.

Even Daisy can't compete even half a point.

She subconsciously reached out and touched her face, and then she noticed the gorgeous evening dress on her body and the shiny shoes on her feet. She was stunned and couldn't believe it.

She felt that she was in a dream, pinched her thigh hard, and felt the real pain. She was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly turned her head and looked at the quietly burning candle on the table.

In his eyes, there was first fear, then fascination.

"Is this... a strange object from a legend?" In this world where real people possess extraordinary power, it is not uncommon for stories like those of people at the bottom to accidentally obtain ancient rare objects.

However, Meili used to only think that it was a fantasy in the story, but she never thought that she was so lucky.

"By the way, the charity dinner at Earl Ander's mansion..." She suddenly remembered the information the mean maid had revealed to her in the morning, and then, a bold idea emerged uncontrollably.

There was a moment of hesitation on her face, but after she stood up, tried to imitate Daisy, lifted up her skirt, and awkwardly turned around in front of the full-length mirror, the hesitation suddenly disappeared:

"Perhaps, I can also go in...I heard that the charity party is semi-public, with many people attending, so I won't be discovered..."

In front of the mirror, Meili whispered to herself, but it seemed more like she was looking for reasons for herself.

After making up her mind, she immediately looked at the prayer candle and clasped her hands together again: "I made a wish, and there will be a carriage waiting for me at the street corner for me to ride on."

A faint circle of light swayed, and immediately, Meili carefully blew out the candle and hid the candlestick and a box of matches on her body.

He opened the door, avoided the people in the store like a thief, slipped out through the remote back door, and ran all the way to the corner of the street.

There, there was indeed a brand new four-wheeled carriage parked there.

A coachman was looking forward to her arrival. When he saw her arrival, he opened the door respectfully: "Miss Meili, please."

real!

It's all true!

Meili clenched her hands and bit her lips. Her beautiful face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. She took several deep breaths before she managed to calm down.

"...Okay." Glancing at the coachman, she revealed her skirt, imitating the steps of the aristocratic lady she had seen, and climbed onto the carriage gracefully.

Her movements were a little stiff, but her behavior was actually decent - she had practiced secretly before.

"Where are you going?" the coachman asked.

Sitting in the soft carriage, Meili folded her silk-gloved hands in front of her, calmed herself down, and said:

"Go to Count Ander's mansion, I want to attend a banquet."

"yes."



Soon, the carriage started running along the night streets, neither fast nor slow, and extremely smooth.

It was not long after nightfall, and there were still many pedestrians, cars and horses on the street. Meili opened the car window and looked at the speeding streets with excitement and novelty.

Soon, the carriage left the city and headed towards the North District, and the surrounding buildings became visibly "rich".

When the carriage finally stopped outside Earl Ander's mansion, and the coachman opened the door, Melly suddenly felt nervous and uneasy.

Especially looking at the densely packed vehicles parked outside, the vast garden villa in the distance, and the gentlemen and ladies coming in and out of the brightly lit building, I felt the urge to escape.

"You can do it..." Silently encouraging herself, Meryl stepped out of the car with some trembling.

The Earl's Mansion is a tall and well-designed building with a pure white exterior, like a palace, surrounded by a huge garden separated by iron railings.

Even though it was late autumn, the flowers were in full bloom. The wide pavement in the courtyard was flanked by relief flower beds, and the central fountain spit out mist.

Although the doorway was illuminated by a gas street lamp, it still seemed a bit dim. When Meili slowly walked towards the open hollow door with the flow of people, she was suddenly stopped by a servant:

"Dear guest, please present your invitation."

Invitation!

Mei Li was stunned for a moment, showing an annoyed look.

She forgot the wishing invitation!

"I...I forgot it at home." She replied in a panic.

"Is that so...which family are you from?" Although the servant was surprised by her beauty, he still asked dutifully. Especially after discovering that Meili only brought one coachman, he became even more suspicious.

"I...I am..." Meili didn't know how to answer for a moment, but at this moment, suddenly, a gentle voice sounded:

"It is very rude to question a beautiful lady."

Meili turned around and saw a tall, handsome young man walking over with a smile.

"Master..." The servant quickly saluted.

Merry suddenly realized that he was Count Ander's son.

"I apologize for his rudeness. Please come in with me." The young man said in a gentlemanly manner. He immediately raised his hand and led Meili into the door.

"I...forgot the invitation, is it okay?" Meili asked nervously.

Seeing the worry on her delicate face and her eyes like a frightened deer, the second son of the count breathed heavily, felt his heart pounding, and said immediately:

"No need to mind, please allow me to guide you."

With that said, he took the lead and walked ahead.

Looking at the other party's generous back, Meili blinked, clenched her hand holding the skirt tighter, gritted her teeth, and followed.

After walking through the garden and passing the fountain, the two entered the bright banquet hall.

At this moment, there were many figures in the hall, the well-dressed daughters of nobles or businessmen, walking around like delicate flower stamens amid the melodious music.

However, when Meili stepped into the hall and was exposed to everyone's view, the entire banquet hall was eclipsed.



For Meili, tonight is really an experience she has never had before in her life, and she has never even dreamed of it.

Her beauty overwhelmed everyone and became the focus of the entire dinner, including Miss Daisy, who was also left in the corner of the banquet hall, and the tall and handsome Earl's second son, who looked like a shepherd dog, was even more indifferent.

Never leave her, and use every possible means to express your love to her.

The young nobleman who was caught up in the madness instinctively ignored the doubts about Meili. In his eyes, Meili's clumsiness became cute, and his hesitation when talking about her identity made him look like a "girly girl."

"Shy"...

Under the other party's meticulous care, Meili gradually became more comfortable from being awkward and nervous at the beginning, and she was feasted on the exquisite food on the long table.

In the end, she even accepted the invitation of the count's second son and danced to the sound of music... All of this attracted her until late at night, when the dinner was over, and she reluctantly embarked on the return journey.

carriage.

And he used the lies he spun to appease the second son of the earl who was lost in confusion.



"Gulu gulu..."

When the sound of carriages rolling over the road echoed in my ears again, the noise and bustling around me disappeared.

With an intoxicating blush on her face, Meili leaned against the soft carriage, skillfully imitating the noble lady, pressed her sleepy forehead, and fell asleep.

"Dong...dong..."

I don't know how long it took, but when Meili was awakened by the sound of church bells in the distance, she discovered that the carriage was parked at the entrance of the alley near the laundry.

Outside the car window, it was still a dark night, but the bell clearly told her that the night was about to pass.

Recalling last night's experience, she felt inexplicable emotions in her heart.

Suddenly, the first ray of sunshine from the east tore through the darkness.

At the same time, Meili's dress turned into shabby clothes again, the crystal shoes on her feet returned to their original shape, and even her plump figure returned to being shriveled.

"Who are you? Why are you in my car?" The driver's confused and angry voice sounded in her ears. Then, the door opened and she was dragged out, "Damn it, how did you sneak up here? Get out of here.

Get down and don’t dirty the carriage!”

Meili, who stood dumbly at the entrance of the alley, stared at the carriage leaving quickly, her eyes widened, and she could not recover for a moment.

After being stunned for a while, she panicked and rummaged through her pocket to find the half candle and a ring - a gift given to her by the second son of the earl last night.

Then, she remembered what was on the note:

"At dawn, wishes become invalid."

"Is this true...the magic can only last for one night?" Meili woke up, feeling a little disappointed at first, but then her eyes brightened again.

If it's a wish... it's not a problem if it only lasts for one night.

She can make a wish to get a large amount of money, and then deposit it in the bank and turn it into a deposit certificate.

Well, to be on the safe side, I deposit a small amount every time. In this way, even if the coins disappear after dawn, the bank's deposit certificate should still be there.

It's as if the ring is still in my hand.

Of course, this is just the simplest method. As long as you plan carefully, you can get rich quickly without seriously breaking the law.

"Thank God." Meili quickly put away the prayer candles and returned to the laundry with complicated emotions.
To be continued...
