Cinderella remembered what had just happened in the bathroom, her face flushed, and she replied, "I went to the backyard and went to the attic to clean up, and I went to the bathroom just now." ”

She had been to so many places that Lancelot guessed that she might have stragged with him just now, so she didn't ask any further.

The maid came to inform them that lunch was ready.

Lancelot told the maid to go upstairs to inform Lady Holly and Mary that the meal would be served when they had arrived.

Usually Mrs. Holly would talk about inconsequential topics while eating, but today she didn't know what was going on, she kept her head down and ate without saying a word, including Mary.

The table was silent, save for the faint sound of the cutlery colliding.

Mr. Lancelot finally noticed that there was something unusual about the atmosphere in his house today, and he tried to ask, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Mrs. Holly glanced quickly at the girl sitting across the table, and thought to herself that there was a terrible witch in the house, and of course they did not dare to say anything.

Mary, on the other hand, kept her head down, looking like she wanted to put her whole face on the plate, and did not dare to look up at all, for fear that she would not want to meet the witch's gaze.

In the end, only Ruan Mianmian spoke: "Our family is used to not talking during meals, which can be conducive to food digestion." ”

Mr. Lancelot, hearing this for the first time, asked half-incredulously, "Really?" ”

Of course it's fake, Ruan Mianmian slandered in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face: "I don't know if it's true or not, my parents told me so." ”

Lunch ends in this eerie atmosphere of silence.

Mary was about to go upstairs to her bedroom to hide when she heard a sudden voice from the girl across the dining table.

"Sister Mary, please stay."

Mary, who was named by the witch, froze, her face turned pale a little, and her voice trembled: "Yes, is there something wrong?" ”

"Mr. Lancelot said I want to make two sets of clothes for you and Sister Dorothy, and I need to measure your measurements."

Seeing that the witch was about to get close to her, Mary hurriedly stepped back: "No need, Dorothy and I still have a lot of clothes, so we don't have to break the bank anymore!" ”

At this time, Mrs. Holly also helped to speak: "Yes, the two of them have a lot of clothes, and they can't finish them at all, so they don't need to make new clothes." ”

Seeing this, Mr. Lancelot could only sigh: "Well, since you don't think you need it, then forget it." ”

Mary ran upstairs as if she had been pardoned.

Ruan Mianmian then looked at Mrs. Holly. Smiling and asking, "Does Madame need to make new clothes?" We've added a lot of new styles to our store. ”

"No, no, no, I have no plans to make clothes for the time being."

Then Mrs. Holly excused herself for a nap and hurried upstairs to leave.

Mr. Lancelot frowned slightly: "What happened to them today?" How weird is it? ”

Ruan Mianmian put all the tools into the suitcase, and asked as if unintentionally, "Is Mr. free in the afternoon?" I have something I want to talk to you about. ”

Hearing this, Cinder, who was drinking tea, shook his hand, and the tea spilled out directly, wetting the hem of his skirt.

He hurriedly stood up: "I'm going back to my room to change my clothes." ”

Mr. Lancelot asked, "But aren't all your clothes washed?" Do you still have clothes to change? ”

"I can go to my two sisters to borrow a dress, but their bodies are fuller than mine, and my clothes may be a little too big for me to wear, and I need the tailor to help me change a little, is that okay?"

Speaking of this, Cinderella deliberately looked at Ruan Mianmian, waiting for her answer.

Ruan Mianmian looked at the man: "Is this okay?" ”

It's just a matter, and Mr. Lancelot replied casually, "Of course, as long as you don't bother." ”

"It's a privilege to serve our guests."

Ruan Mianmian stood up, carried the suitcase, and followed Cinderella upstairs.

The door to the bedroom on the second floor was closed, and Mrs. Holly and her daughters, who were hiding in the room, could not open the door to let the two of them in, so the two of them went straight through the second floor to the attic on the third floor.

Ruan Mianmian looked at the hole in the ground: "Why haven't you repaired it yet?" What if I don't want to step into it and fall? ”

"I was going to fix it in the morning, but you came here and forgot about it for a while."

Cinderella closed the door.

He motioned for Ruan Mianmian to sit casually.

Ruan Mianmian was not polite and sat directly on the edge of the bed.

Cinderella hesitated, but finally couldn't resist the emotion in her heart, and walked over and sat down beside her.

He said, "You should know why I called you up, right?" ”

Ruan Mianmian deliberately teased him: "Didn't you come to change your clothes?" ”

"You know no, I didn't treat you as a tailor at all, let alone changing clothes, I can do it myself, I don't need you to do it." He frowned slightly, looking a little annoyed.

Ruan Mianmian knew that he was easy to be serious, so she didn't continue to tease him, and said seriously: "I know, you don't want me to talk to Mr. Lancelot about you. ”

"Why do you have to open your mouth when you know?"

"I've said it before, I want to talk to him, you can't cheat each other like this forever."

Cinderella lowered her eyes, her long, curly eyelashes fluttering slightly, like two black butterflies about to fly: "Mr. Lancelot is stubborn, more stubborn than you think, he won't listen to you, and even, he may get angry and drive you away." ”

"I'm ready to be kicked out, I have an invisibility potion anyway, and I can sneak back back at any time."

Cinderella didn't know what to say.

Ruan Mianmian raised his hand and touched his long golden hair: "Don't worry, I can see that Mr. Lancelot is quite good to you, he should really treat you as a family, I believe he will understand my hard work." ”

Cinderella still shook her head: "He's really going to be angry, don't tell him this, I don't want you to get involved." ”

"The quickest way to heal a scar is to tear off the blood scab, let the pus drain inside, and then apply medicine to bandage it. The whole process of dealing with the wound will be very painful, but it is better to hurt for a while than to hurt forever, and what I want to do now is to help you tear off the blood scab. ”

After speaking, Ruan Mianmian stood up and prepared to go out.

Cinderella took her hand, "Forget it, if you anger him, it won't do you any good." ”

However, Ruan Mianmian was very persistent.

She pushed Cinderella's hand away and strode out.

When she opened the door, she found a man standing outside the door, none other than Mr. Lancelot!

He seemed to have been standing outside the door for some time.

This thin wooden door has no sound insulation effect at all.

Presumably, the conversation between her and Cinderella just now was listened to by Mr. Lancelot.!
