"Hey, I say, are you happy?" Rayla muttered as she pestle her broom, her eyes fixed on the dust next to the fireplace.

Sally was reading a book by the fireplace, she heard the girl across from her with such a question, looked around, saw that there was no one but herself, and made sure that the girl across from her was talking to her. She raised her head a little puzzled: "How can you ask such a question?" Whether you are happy or not, don't you want to continue to live? ”

Whether you are happy or not, you must continue to live...... This sentence came from the mouth of this beautifully dressed girl, and it was really an understatement.

Rayla sighed inwardly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but not from the pleasure of the heart, but with a helplessness similar to a wry smile. She knew that if she had a lot of money now and was loved by such a beautiful prince, then she could be so calm.

"If I can have this kind of life like you, what is missing half a leg." Rayla whispered softly, looking at the half-empty skirt of the girl opposite.

Although these words are light, the meaning is not light. Sally's heart trembled violently, and she gritted her teeth, trying to keep her temper from throwing a tantrum. Unconsciously closed the thick book in his hand.

The snap startled Rayla a little, and she pretended to be calm, sweeping the floor as she asked, "What, I made you feel uncomfortable saying something like that?" ”

"No, but it just reminds me of my own suffering."

"Let's hear it and see which of us is worse."

"Yes, you're the first person I've ever met in my life who can open my heart."

"Do you believe me that much?"

"From the first time I saw you, I believed you."

Rayla laughed, tears oozing from the corners of her eyes, making people look down on her happiness or hide her loss with the illusion of happiness. When you've laughed enough, wipe your hands with your apron and turn the broom to the side.

Sally picked up another silver teacup, poured black tea into it, and handed it to Rayla.

The two girls, both fourteen or fifteen years old, have similar personalities and cherish each other.

One was born in a hopeful spring, with black and blue eyes, long gray-white hair braided into the shape of a twisted flower, although wearing a linen cloth skirt, it is difficult to resist the natural beauty, the eyes are flexible, the corners of the mouth are resolute, and the temperament is gentle but mixed with stubbornness; One was born on a quiet winter day, with a mysterious light in his gray eyes, long brown wavy hair lazily piled on his shoulders, simple and gorgeous clothes, a leisurely temperament with a hint of depression, and a beautiful and refined face, like a character in a fairy tale, as if the whole body was shrouded in a mysterious veil.

The two girls sat on the sofa at the same time, one on the east side and the other on the north side, and almost simultaneously picked up the teacup, took a sip and put it down, very tacitly.

"Are the socks on your feet torn and cold?" Sally asked faintly.

Rayla's eyes looked straight at the pool outside the glass, her face expressionless, and instead of answering Sally's question directly, she said something in her heart: "I could have stood in your place and asked the same question to my subordinates." ”

"Now you can't change anything, you can only accept your fate, don't you, like me."

"You say this lightly, you accept your fate to be a rich lady who is favored by the prince, but I want to accept my fate to be a subordinate for the rest of my life."

Sally frowned, she could clearly feel the fear emanating from Rayla, and the anger that came from that fear. After thinking for a while, she said: "My sister, who is also your stepmother, doesn't want to embarrass you all the time, she told me that I must tell the housekeeper to find you a good family." ”

"Hmph." Rayla sneered, "That woman Roberts, who killed my father and took my family's property, how could she be so kind." ”

Although Sally was suspicious of Robles, she was still angry to hear her sister's bad words. But she could understand Rayla's heart, not to mention that Rayla wasn't supposed to be a subordinate in the first place. At the thought of this, Sally's anger turned to sympathy for Rayla.

Sally wanted to appease Rayla but didn't want to speak ill of her own sister, so she thought for a moment and said, "Maybe things aren't the way you think." My sister is not good to you, but things will turn around, trust me. ”

Rayla still sneered, "Emotional thinking makes me believe in you as a person, but rational thinking makes me doubt you. ”

After saying that, she glanced nostalgically at the black tea and biscuits on the table, then got up and said, "Miss Sally, if there is nothing else, I'd better clean up." The voice concealed the coldness that preceded the impending eruption of choking, and although it was soft, it seemed to penetrate the listener's heart.

Sally took in the look of Rayla Cairi. After Rayla left, she slowly stood up on one foot, holding the couch with her hand, and quietly watched Rayla's back, which was thin and weak, like a lonely grass, with perseverance and perseverance in the wind.

At night, Rayla finally wiped the last floor clean. The soft hand gently pounded the sore arm, but because the strength was too small, there was little relief.

By this time the servants had rested. Since Zhenzhen got married, she had to wipe the floor alone at night every day, enduring the cold and cold of the corridor in the dark night.

Originally, these floor tiles should have belonged to her and Zhenzhen, but now those who enjoy these glory and wealth have become people who have nothing to do with Rosewood Manor for no reason. "Huh." Rayla's heart was also cold, and her laughter seemed to mock her father, her ignorant sister, the flowery prince, and everything that didn't match her wishes.

Slowly walking out of the big house, she was already numb to such a scene. Braving the cold wind and stepping on the snow, we walked to the hut near the orchard. Opening the small wooden door, she subconsciously thought that it should be the same as usual, simple wooden furniture, daily rats and ants as guests, and windows with cold winds.

However, tonight was different from the past, she thought she was dreaming, so she closed the wooden door, slapped her cheek hard, and felt a lot of pain before opening the door.

Or just like it was just now! There was a pot of black tea on the table, and there were high-end dim sum slowed down next to it, with macarons, cakes, and cookies! The aroma of black tea permeates the room. And the old quilt on the bed was replaced with a new silk quilt, and the bed sheets were also renewed. There was also a note on the chair: Tomorrow a master will come to repair your window - Sally

A long-lost feeling of warmth hit my heart, and warm tears flowed from my eyes.

"It was hot, and my tears finally turned hot. Thank you Sally~" Rayla said the note house ah chest and quietly felt the pure generosity of the note owner's heart.

The next morning, Rayla wanted to go and thank Sally, but she saw the prince intimately carrying Rayla into the carriage.

The prince's face is still so cute and charming, and the prince's temperament is still so noble and elegant, all of which makes Rayla deeply immersed in it.

"I love him, I only love the prince alone." Rayla muttered to herself, "Sally, my family property belongs to you and your sister, so why can't you give me the prince?" ”

She looked at the tattered clothes she was wearing, which were simply unsightly compared to Sally's noble clothes: "No wonder the prince likes her, must it be because of the clothes, it must be like this!" Rayla screamed frantically, throwing away the broom.

She crouched down and grabbed her hair, she was scared because she thought of the end of Zhenzhen, who couldn't be with the boy she loved, and married the girl in the village who was the most reluctant to marry. So what about his ending, will it be the same as Zhenzhen! Even if Sally said that Robles wanted to marry her better, who can guarantee the credibility of Roberts's words?

Rayla was terrified, she didn't want to be as miserable as Zhenzhen. Even if she can't change the fate of her miserable marriage, she can't let Sally marry the prince, otherwise the gap in her heart will be even greater, and she will be even more miserable. The fear deepened in her heart, making her tremble.

Suddenly, the second butler came over and grabbed Rayla's ear: "You bad boy, are you lazy?" Don't think that Miss Sally is nice to you and that we will relax our discipline of you. After all, it was Madame Robes, who asked me to keep a strict watch over you! It's useless for Miss Sally to care about you! As punishment, you are not allowed to eat at noon today! ”

I can't eat again! Such a harsh punishment really disgusted her physically and mentally. Rayla couldn't stand the abuse anymore, and she pushed the second butler away with all her strength and ran out.

Just drown in the winter cold, Mom and Dad, wait for me, I'm coming for you, Rayla thought to herself.

The fear made her bravely resist, because she knew that if she continued to be weak like this, what awaited her was only a dead end, so why not go out and fight.

Running and running, she tripped over the stone under her feet, looking at the moss in the crack of the stone, she smiled stupidly: "The weather is so cold, it is really not easy for you to live like this." ”

Alive...... That's familiar. In a trance, she recalled that her biological mother had said to her and Zhenzhen on the hospital bed: "In the future, you must live well yourself, no matter what hardships you encounter in life, you must live." Because, once you have walked through that terrible Black Forest, there may be beautiful green waters and green mountains behind you. ”

Yes, to live...... Perhaps it was the fear of death, the fear of not living up to her mother's expectations, that made Rayla rekindle hope for life.

"I am a girl born in the spring, and I have been carrying hope with all things since I was born. I'll definitely be able to. Rayla looked up at the sun. Although the winter sun is not dazzling, it will make people cry after watching it for a long time.

"Tears in the light of hope were the last tears I shed." Rayla laughed, "I'm going to get a game back, I'm going to get what belongs to me and Zhenzhen back." I don't want to spend my days in fear anymore. Sally, I'm not going to let you marry the prince, I won't. ”

It was as if the tears had dried up completely. Fear is such a miraculous thing, since a person is born, he knows how to use tears to dispel the anxiety caused by fear, but when he grows up, fear will completely change a person's mind, so that the person will never shed tears again.

Rayla looked at the few rays of light in the depths of the forest, and the rays of light were extremely obvious, piercing through the gaps between the large trees.

She had mixed feelings in her heart, and muttered to herself: "What I can't get, you can't get either~ Sally, don't blame me, anyway, I can see that you don't like His Royal Highness very much." Then, let me help you silently, destroy this impossible marriage, and by the way, take back all the things that should belong to me and Zhenzhen. ”
