After Charlotte and Mary's family had breakfast, they rode Uncle Hans's horse to Edward's house, and after saying goodbye to Uncle Hans at the back door of Edward's castle, Charlotte went into the low, gloomy basement.

There have been more than a dozen servants of the Edward family here, all of them are changing clothes, the rules of the Edward family, the servants must wear a uniform linen clothing, this set of clothes is the same color, the texture is the same, the only difference is the style, the male servant is a one-piece pants cover apron, and the maid is a skirt cover apron. Charlotte didn't want to change her clothes in front of everyone, so she always came back at home with her work clothes on.

Charlotte walked past a few crooked maids who were changing clothes, they either smiled and greeted Charlotte, or pretended not to see and turned their heads, many of these maids had a crush on the beautiful man Listin in their hearts, and the passion of Listin's mother caused Charlotte a lot of jealousy, she didn't care, even without Listin, her beauty would still bring her the resentment of a shallow person.

Open her own cabinet, which is full of clothes to be washed today, and suddenly see that there are more dirty clothes in her cabinet than anyone else, but if you look closely, you will find that these clothes are soft and easy to wash, Charlotte is very grateful to the middle-aged aunt, no matter what she really helped herself, it seems that she will go to her aunt's house more in the future, and helping her clean is also a kind of reward.

Carrying a large basin of clothes to the small river at the bottom of the hill behind the castle, this is where the maids wash their clothes together, because there are many people who secretly hate Charlotte, no one dares to be friends with her in the 'one' book and 'read' novel', Charlotte ran to the side with a large wooden basin and tried to wash it, she wanted to finish it early, Uncle Hans promised to teach her riding from today on, I heard that Lady Edward loved to ride horses, maybe it was the best way to get close to the upper echelons of Edward's family from this aspect, Charlotte thought, washing clothes more hard.

Near noon, the sun scorched the earth, the air was steaming with the smell of sweaty mud, the river became cool, Charlotte simply no longer took the basin to wash on the slate, and washed it directly on the grass by the river, Charlotte's chilblains were better in the summer, but they were still red and swollen and ugly, she deliberately ignored the ugly fingers, and only focused on washing clothes, several women in the distance came together and muttered and talked, and occasionally glanced at Charlotte, her eyes were full of disgust, as if she had planned it, a woman was pushed out, she slapped the hand of the woman who pushed her, scolded a few words or obediently approached Charlotte, the maids who were washing clothes by the river all stared at the woman, and watched Charlotte who was about to be unlucky with a good show.

Charlotte, who was thinking about her heart, didn't notice that someone was slowly approaching behind her, the clean clothes were piled up in the basin, Charlotte rubbed the last dirty clothes in her hand, the stone slab by the river was very smooth, Charlotte carefully squatted to prevent herself from slipping down, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a shadow gradually shrouded her, Charlotte got up suddenly, the woman had bad intentions, she was startled when she saw Charlotte get up, and no matter what the consequences were, Charlotte pushed Charlotte into the river, Charlotte was already standing unsteadily, was pushed vigorously by this woman again, and fell into the river without any suspense. In fact, the woman just wanted to throw her clothes into the river so that the middle-aged aunt would be dissatisfied with her, and who knew that Charlotte reacted so much and scared her.

The water surface of the river seems to be calm, but in fact, the water is turbulent, Charlotte does not know how to water, and when she suddenly falls into the water, she is helpless and will only flutter, and the river pushes Charlotte to flow away into the distance, and gradually has a tendency to sink. Seeing that the situation was serious, everyone who was watching the show on the side rushed over to save people, and some people had already run back to the castle to find the middle-aged aunt, and several planners took their basins and left the scene with a weak heart.

Li Stin was discussing with his mother about moving out, and his mother almost agreed, when an inferior servant burst in panting, and shouted loudly and impolitely that it was not good, and Li Stin, who was interrupted from business, was very dissatisfied, and he looked coldly at the servant kneeling at his feet,

"What's so flustered, don't you have a trace of grace?"

"Oh no, Lord Listin, Charlotte has fallen into the water!"

Li Stin didn't believe it at first, how could someone so cautious as Charlotte fall into the water? Someone can't hurt her! His fingers clenched unconsciously, his knuckles white.

"How so? Where is it?! ”

"By the Xinao River outside the back door, my lord, go and save her!"

The servant seemed very anxious, in fact, she had no friendship with Charlotte at all, and at this time it was just to please Li Stin and the middle-aged aunt.

"Lead the way!"

In order to save time, Li Stin chose to let this woman lead the way, and the middle-aged aunt couldn't keep up with them and hung panting behind her.

The water was about to reach the top of her head, Charlotte struggled desperately a few times to reopen her head to the water, she grabbed this life-saving straw, and shouted for help, help me. The maids on the shore finally couldn't hold it anymore, and some of them jumped into the river with a thud and tried to paddle towards Charlotte, and in the haze they saw that someone had come to save them, and Charlotte paddled a few times with strength to keep herself from sinking. The maid who went into the water was less than four meters away from Charlotte, and the people on the shore were sweating for them, and the river drowned ten people every year, and the people in the vicinity called the river ten evil spirits, and each life sacrifice fed one evil spirit. It's lucky to be like Charlotte, there are so many people in the world, and there is a good chance of being rescued, but I don't know who will sacrifice and feed the evil spirit for her.

When Listin came to the river, he saw Charlotte struggling in the river, her life hanging by a thread, his heart trembled, and he almost kicked the servant who stopped him from entering the river into the river, until his mother stopped in front of him, and the middle-aged aunt had a sad expression and said with a trembling cry,

"Everybody knows you don't know how to water, Charlotte will understand, don't do anything stupid! Mother please! ”

Li Stin refused, he still insisted on pushing his mother away,

"I'm sorry."

In this way, Listin, who was stupid and couldn't swim, also jumped into the river, but he jumped into the water calmly, did not struggle or flutter but floated on the surface of the water and flowed to Charlotte along the current, the middle-aged aunt looked at her son nervously, and was not a little relieved until he kept floating on the water, his son was stupider and smarter than anyone else.

The maid is getting closer and closer to Charlotte, victory is in sight, Charlotte can't help but jump a little in her heart, she didn't be happy for long before she found the abnormality, the river around her slightly increased the flow speed, a whirlpool gradually formed and grew bigger and bigger, the maid was still close to herself, Charlotte was stunned, and the second spell appeared!

"Nope! No! Get back! Let's go! Stay back! ”

Charlotte shouted loudly, trying to get the maid to return, this time Xiaobai was not around, the opponent was so strong, why should she implicate innocent people to die!
