A few lone geese soared in the blue sky, screaming sadly, but they did not forget to chase the distant kinship team. On this day, the sky was excellent, and the white clouds were neatly arranged. The storms of the past few days have long since dissipated the haze. After Mr. Dahl's funeral, calm returned to Rosewood Manor.

Robos wore a high-end dress with the most popular bun on her head and delicate makeup on her face. She stood lazily in the courtyard, leaning against the wall of the greenhouse, leisurely sipping bitter coffee, carefully feeling the bitter feeling.

Gottland, dressed as a butler, stood beside her, quietly watching her face.

"The scenery of Gebi Village is so beautiful, and now the assets of the entire Gebi Manor are mine, I am really happy and relaxed."

Gottland straightened his bow tie again and said, "Roberts, are you really ruthless in driving the old butler away and leaving me to be the butler?" After all, the old butler has served here for three generations. ”

"I didn't get rid of him, I just let him retire early. If he doesn't leave, how can you get in? And he used to serve Dahl, and I was upset when I looked at him. Roberts pouted, expressing her displeasure with the old butler.

Under the blue sky, the beautiful woman smiled charmingly, her hand gently touched the cheek of the man opposite, the two looked very compatible, in the light mist of the early morning, both of them stood together. The sins in their hands are covered by a sweet appearance, just like the hero of the fairy tale who explores in the Demon Castle, has just defeated the Demon King, and can live happily ever after. It's a pity that they are not so righteous, because Dahl is not guilty to death, and they should not have possessed Dahl's property.

What makes them such innocent and kind people commit such crimes, these are not clear, but the most important thing should be fear.

In addition to fear, there is jealousy and hatred and the fear that follows. Fear is never temporary, and the sins committed because of fear will sooner or later bring more fear, leading them step by step towards the abyss and never to climb out again.

Now that Dahl is finally dead, the funeral is beautiful, and no one doubts it, everyone thinks that Mr. Dahl is overworked and drunk.

The evil in Robles's heart is ignited by fear, and from then on, it is difficult to stop, and it becomes addictive, like a chain reaction, which makes her want to stop.

Whenever she saw Jen and Rayla now, she remembered Dahl, who she had killed with her own hands, and her fear grew every day, keeping her awake at night. In addition, Zhenzhen was already targeting her, and after Rayla was frozen and sick three years ago, she also became estranged from Robles because of her aunt's instigation, so Robles looked down on these two girls even more unpleasantly.

Now that she has the family's assets in her hands, what can't she do? Since you can't get used to it, don't let her door appear in front of you.

The moonlight is gentle, but the human heart is unpredictable, and jealousy and fear are especially easy to breed in delirious nights.

Robles called Gotland over.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Gotland rubbed his misty eyes, "I was so sleepy just now, so I slept for a while. It's past twelve o'clock now, so let's wash and sleep. ”

"Gotland, I'm not spirited, I'm afraid. I am now when I see Zhenzhen and Rayla, I think of Dahl's death, I think of the grievances and humiliations I have suffered in the past, and my heart is so uncomfortable. I thought about it, Jen and Rayla can't stay here! You go get some money from the warehouse, take it with them, and send them to live with their grandparents! ”

"However, their grandfather's house only has a thatched house, will they really want to go back to live there? How about you pay for a bigger house for their grandfather? Gotland suggested.

"No! I don't want to do that. Roberts stubbornly said, "You send them back tomorrow morning, and I don't want to see them again." And after they left, it was convenient for us to live together as husband and wife. ”

"Okay, I'll try." Gotland agreed.

The next morning, Gottland told Robles, "I have consulted with the former butler that these two children cannot be sent away." Because now all the money and houses in the bank and warehouse also have their share. If you send them away rashly, you will violate their interests, and you will lose money. ”

Roberts was shocked and sat back on the sofa in a daze: "Yes, the money and the house now also have their share, how can I forget it." Heck, I should have asked Dahl to transfer the house to me and change the passbook to my name. ”

She leaned back on the couch in frustration, her eyes closed, the corners of her mouth twitching down.

Gottland's heart hurt when he looked at Roberts with such a depressed look, and he suddenly had an idea: "Baby, don't forget that you are now the owner of Rosewood Manor, and you are also the guardian of Zhenzhen and Rayla in name. Now, as long as you don't kick the two children out, no matter what you do to them, almost no one will dare to say anything about you. ”

When Robles heard this, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly sat up excitedly: "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

So let the two of them live in the granary. The granary is connected to the whole house, and they live in this house. That way, you don't have to see them every day, and you don't have to chase them away. ”

"Gotland, you're amazing!" Robles kissed him on the cheek, "When these two girls get married one after another, I will give a dowry casually, and we will get married, and we have all this." ”

Sin breeds little by little, and in this case, greed also breeds fear, and fear breeds greed even more.

It was early morning again, and the thin mist had not yet condensed into dewdrops. The apples have not yet been fully picked, and there are still some unpicked parts of the orchard. The sweet air is refreshing and refreshing. But if you are very unlucky, you are not in the mood to feel the beauty of nature, but you will feel that these are all burdens.

Jen and Rayla are driven here after being picked up from bed by a maid. The maid held her head high and said, "Madame, Mr. Dahl will let you live in the warehouse even after he dies. But you cannot eat in vain, so you have to work. Your task today is to pick all the remaining apples. ”

Zhenzhen crossed her hands on her hips: "We are the aristocratic ladies of Gemie Village, why do we have to do these rough jobs, is that ugly woman crazy!" ”

Rayla, on the other hand, remained motionless and tugged at the corner of her sister's coat, watching it all carefully.

The maid smiled and said, "Mr. Dahl is dead, and now the owner of Rosewood Manor is Madame Robles, do you still think you have the capital to use Miss's temper?" Moreover, in the future, you should call Mrs., not an ugly woman! ”

"Stepmother can't be called too?" Rayla asked quietly.

"Hmph, of course you can." The maid said, "Miss Rayla is much more sensible than Miss Jane. ”

After saying that, she threw down two baskets: "When the basket is full, transport the apples to the warehouse, and then come back with the empty basket and continue picking." If you can't finish it, you are not allowed to eat at night. ”

The two girls had no choice, knowing that they were in a difficult situation now, so they could only swallow their anger and continue to do it.

They had a busy day in the orchard in lolita heels and silk dresses. It was late in the night, and they had just finished picking all the apples.

They limped back exhausted. Zhenzhen looked at Roberts with anger in her eyes, and Rayla remained silent.

Roberts raised her eyelids, looked at the two girls, and said slowly, "Oh, you guys are so inappropriate to dress that you are all hurt, you might as well stop wearing such clothes and shoes from tomorrow onwards." I will let the maids make your work clothes overnight out of discarded linen, and from then on you will wear clothes that are not even as good as maids' clothes, and work for me every day. ”

"You poisonous woman!" Zhenzhen screamed, "You will be punished." ”

"Hmph." Robles sneered, "I advise you to be kind to me, because it is up to me to decide whether you can marry your beloved or not." ”

At this time, Zhenzhen realized that Robles still had bigger hole cards in his hands, and even his love and marriage were in Roberts's hands.

"Mom...... Mom, please let me do the housework for you! Zhenzhen's instant change of words surprised Roberts. I really can't imagine that the power of love can be so great.

"Okay." Robles laughed. But she didn't look at Rayla, or she didn't think of Rayla as air at all.

Rayla never did anything bad to her, and in the beginning, it was Rayla who was the best for her. However, her aunt's instigation and exploitation made Rayla gradually alienate Robles, and it was also difficult for Robles to face Rayla.

While the relationship between the stepmother and daughter gradually drifted apart, it also added a lot of embarrassment. Now that Robos is well developed and no longer has to live her life carefully, she feels ashamed at the thought of that bad time in the past, and she pins this uncomfortable state of mind on Rila. As a result, she disliked Rayla more and more, and didn't even want to say a word.

And just like that, five years passed. This year's summer was not hot, but the flowers were in full bloom.

Robles held the newspaper and shouted excitedly, "Gotland, where are you?" ”

Gottland had been watering the flowers in the garden, and when he heard Roberts's voice, he immediately ran to her: "Baby, what's going on?" ”

"Next month, the steamship from Gemie Village to Modo City will be opened again! I went to Modo City, found Sally, stayed there for another week, and then we went back to Roseland! ”

"That's great, you can finally pick up Sally!"

"And the good news is that at the end of this month, the prince will come to the village of Gebi for a vacation, and he will live in our manor for a month. As long as my Sally can win his heart, my Sally will be able to fly up the branches and become a phoenix. Robles was so excited that she couldn't catch her breath.

"Don't worry, baby." Gottland was also very happy, "Sally has been a beautiful embryo since she was a child, and that beautiful little face is like carved out of a mold with you, and she will definitely be taken by the prince." ”

"If you hate it, you'll be flamboyant." Robos smiled shyly, and Xiao Fan punched him, "However, my Sally is only fourteen years old, so I wonder if it will be early to get married?" ”

"Marrying a prince is only too late, not too early. Think about the day when you can become a royal noble, what a beautiful day it will be. When the time comes, you will not be afraid of anything. ”

"That's right, when the time comes, I'll not be afraid of anything."
