Mary was the same, trembling all over.

They had not eaten for a day and a night, and if they continued like this, they would be starved to death of thirst, if not eaten by monsters.

Even if they knew that the girl in the black dress in front of them was Cinderella's friend, they could only ask each other for help.

They have no choice.

Ruan Mianmian did not rush to refuse, but asked with interest: "Is there a monster here?" Why didn't I see it? ”

"It's your friend, Cinderella, she's a monster," Mrs. Holly glanced downstairs to make sure she didn't see her stepdaughter, and then she was relieved, and continued, "Cinderella, like her mother, are monsters, and every time the moon is full, they become man-eating monsters. These things were told to me by my husband, which is why we locked Cinderella in the attic, sealed the windows, and locked the door to prevent her from hurting anyone on a full moon night. ”

"Since you know he's a monster, why didn't you tell the church about it before? Leaving a man-eating monster at home is dangerous. ”

Mrs. Holly hurriedly said: "I have always told the church, but my husband did not allow it, he said that Cinderella was his daughter, and he could not bear to hand her over to the church, and she had not really hurt anyone for so many years, so I thought that Cinderella was not as dangerous as he said." ”

Ruan Mianmian laughed, her smile simple and harmless: "Because Cinderella has not hurt anyone, you dare to bully him boldly, right?" ”

Mrs. Holly was dumbfounded by the question.

Mary defended: "She is a monster, it is already a great mercy for us to keep her and give her a bite to eat, let her help do something, it is considered a reward for us, what's wrong with that?" ”

Ruan Mianmian smiled unabatedly: "The thing in your mouth is to let her be like a servant, cooking, washing and cleaning every day, and if something goes wrong, you have to beat and scold her, huh?" ”

Mary couldn't answer, and said angrily, "Even if we go too far, she deserves it, who made her a monster?!" ”

"Don't talk about it." Mrs. Holly sensed that something was wrong with the girl in the black dress, and quickly covered her eldest daughter's mouth to prevent her from continuing.

Ruan Mianmian looked at them with a smile: "Since you think it's natural to ask Cinderella to help do something, then I can also ask you to help do something, if you do well, I can let you live a little longer, if you don't do well, I can make you die right now." ”

It's obviously a very beautiful girl, but when she says it, it makes people shudder.

Mrs. Holly finally saw it completely clearly, and the girl in the black dress in front of her didn't think to help them at all.

The girl in the black dress was on Cinderella's side from beginning to end.

She's just as scary as that monster.

Mrs. Holly did not dare to speak to the other party again, and pulled her daughter back, intending to go back to the bedroom and hide.

However, Ruan Mianmian did not give them this opportunity.

She recited the incantation, and the rats swarmed up and surrounded Lady Holly and Mary.

The mother and daughter were so frightened that they screamed.

"Don't come here! Go away! Go away!! ”

The hem of their skirts was bitten by the rats, and their legs were bitten, and their faces were twisted in pain, and they desperately tried to drive the rats away.

It's a pity that it didn't work.

Their struggles, in the face of the witch's spells, were in vain.

It wasn't until the mother and daughter were about to collapse that Ruan Mianmian manipulated the mice to stop their movements and get aside.

She walked slowly to the mother and daughter.

The two of them couldn't even stand on their feet at the moment, and they sat down on the ground, hugging each other tightly and trembling.

Ruan Mianmian looked down at them condescendingly, smiled and said: "In the future, you will live in the attic, and you will not be allowed to go downstairs without my permission." ”

The mother and daughter didn't dare to resist anymore, and hurriedly responded: "Okay! ”

"Now give you a minute to move from this floor to the attic."

As she spoke, Ruan Mianmian took out a silver pocket watch and began to time.

Lady Holly and Mary were really frightened, and they were afraid that the rats would come around and gnaw at their bodies again, so they almost crawled back to the bedroom, pulled two changes of clothes and a handbag, and then carried Dorothy out of the bedroom with great difficulty.

They actually want to get a lot of things.

But it was only a minute.

In such a short period of time, they didn't even have a chance to think and hesitate, so they could only rely on instinct to take something casually and leave.

Ruan Mianmian stood at the top of the stairs and watched them go up to the third floor.

The attic door was slammed shut, making an old-fashioned creak.

But even so, the thin wooden door still couldn't block the voice of the girl in the black dress.

Lady Holly and Mary, who were hiding in the attic, heard her talking.

"In half an hour, please come downstairs and meet me in the dining room."

The girl's voice sounded crisp, reminiscent of a nightingale, but in the ears of Lady Holly and Mary, it was no different from that of the devil.

They were terrified.

Ruan Mianmian didn't care how scared they were, she lifted the hem of her skirt and ran downstairs briskly.

She saw Cinderella standing at the top of the stairs on the first floor.

Looking at Cinderella's appearance, she should have been standing there for a long time, and he should have heard the conversation between Ruan Mianmian and Mrs. Holly and Mary just now.

He looked at the girl in the black dress in a daze, his red lips slightly open, as if he had something to ask, but he didn't know how to speak.

Ruan Mianmian ran in front of him: "Why are you standing here stupidly?" Is breakfast ready? I'm a little hungry. ”

Cinderella immediately replied, "It's done, I'll bring it out." ”

He returned to the kitchen and brought out the croissants in the basket and the thick, creamy mushroom soup.

Ruan Mianmian sat down at the table, tore open the bread, dipped the soup, and ate with relish.

Cinderella sat across from her, trying to speak several times, but failing to get it done.

It wasn't until after eating breakfast that Ruan Mianmian wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin before she spoke: "What do you want to ask?" ”

Cinderella lowered her eyelashes, her crow-like black eyelashes covering her blue eyes, and a shadow fell, making her complexion more and more flawless: "I heard the conversation between you and your mother just now. ”

"So what?"

"Mom said I was ...... It's a monster. ”

The last two words were said very lightly, so light that it was almost inaudible.

Ruan Mianmian still asked: "So what?" ”

Cinderella was a little stunned: "I'm a monster, aren't you afraid?" ”

Ruan Mianmian didn't answer and asked: "I'm a witch, aren't you afraid?" ”！
