Chapter 550: Dark Childhood Stories Are Not Lack of Cinderella (15)
"The mill still needs a worker. I'll give you a one-month probation period and you'll be paid as usual. If you don't do a good job, I can't do anything about it." Gu Zhen read pleading in his blue eyes. She knew that he must be hitting a wall everywhere. In this era where people have to choose their favourite person for the job, it's really difficult for him to make any progress.
The manor is very big and there are all kinds of people. A handsome person may have a vicious mind, but an ugly person may not have bad intentions. Gu Zhen can give him a chance.
Darren thought he would be rejected, but he didn't expect to hear the pleasant surprise so soon. He stood up excitedly and bowed to Gu Zhen.
"Thank you Miss, I will definitely work hard!"
The housekeeper wanted to say something but stopped himself. But who would dare to go against Miss Anna now? She even dared to lock up her own mother and not give her food.
Darren took the bread and milk that Gu Zhen kindly gave him, and followed the housekeeper to the mill. On the way, he saw many busy workers, all of whom looked at him with disdain.
He had long been accustomed to it and didn't take it to heart.
We also met a beautiful lady on the way. The butler introduced her as the Duke's biological daughter, Miss Ella.
Although Darren didn't speak to her, he also found it very strange that the Duke's daughter was dressed like a female worker and was rushing to do the work.
Miss Anna even accepted him, so she shouldn’t bully Miss Ella, right?
In fact, the butler didn't understand Miss Ella's thoughts. He used to feel pity for this girl who lost her mother and father early in life, but now he felt more of a lack of understanding.
I don't understand why she still hangs out with the workers every day even though she has moved back to her original room from the attic and Miss Anna has returned her clothes and jewelry.
Addicted to work?
The butler shook his head. These nobles were really rich and had nothing to do!
After settling Darren down and finding him a kind-hearted master to teach him, the butler returned to the living room.
Gu Zhen was flipping through ancient books in the study next door. The tall bookshelves reached all the way to the ceiling. She had been searching for several days but had not found anything related to magic.
It seems that it can only be found in the palace.
It’s not that she wants to learn magic, but the magic wand always glows and vibrates at night. It can’t be broken or burned, but it can’t be thrown away casually. Who knows if there are other witches in the world.
She just went back to the room and found that the light emitted by the magic wand was even brighter. She didn't know what strange thing it sensed.
She was curious, so she came to look for it.
The butler personally helped her down the ladder and said, "Miss Anna, lunch is ready. Please move to the dining room. Madam is waiting for you."
Gu Zhen nodded, thinking that today was the first day that Catherine was released, and he should have figured it out.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered the restaurant, Catherine immediately stood up uncomfortably.
"Mom has lost weight," Gu Zhen smiled slightly, "Hurry up and sit down and eat more."
Catherine sat down in a state of trepidation; she had always been so averse to Ella, and had never known what it was like to be starved and confined.
The most painful thing is being punished by my own daughter.
Gu Zhen picked up a piece of bread. She was really full. She sighed and missed steamed buns, rice and pancakes so much!
"Mom should have figured it out. Be a good lady in the future and don't always think about bullying the servants and deducting their money. I promise that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
This time she was punished not because Catherine disobeyed her and firmly opposed hiring workers with high salaries, but because Catherine whipped an innocent maid.
Just because some of her milk was spilled when it was delivered.
When Gu Zhen came over, the maid's back was almost bruised.
She can integrate into any world without breaking the overall rules, or she can integrate into the original owner's identity and be better for her mission goals, but that does not mean that all behaviors can be condoned.
After all, Gu Zhen is still a modern person who believes in equality for all.
Before she changed the working system of her estate, the slaves and workers here received the least pay, did the most tiring work, and were often whipped.
It all became like this after Catherine came.
If it wasn't required by the mission, I would have just hit this evil farmer to death with a hammer.
Although Catherine did not agree with her daughter's idea in her heart, she really did not dare to refute it. She could not beat her or argue with her, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it.
"Anna, Mom knows I was wrong. I will listen to you from now on." Catherine sat there obediently, not daring to refute.
.
When the recruitment work was completed, the continuous rainy season finally ended, and the annual Royal Music Festival injected new vitality into the city.
It will be a three-day carnival with bonfires, dancing, singing, and royal children will join the people to participate in the event.
But there is still no news about the second prince, so Earl Will will represent the royal family and present the first song at the festival.
Darren mingled with the crowd, wearing a wooden mask. Many people today would wear various decorative masks, so he would not attract any attention today.
The streets were bustling with people, from the palace to the streets in the center of the city, with bonfires burning everywhere.
When Darren saw Will go on stage to sing, he silently walked against the flow of people towards the palace.
He grew up in the palace and was familiar with every tree and blade of grass here. Although he had not been back for six years, he still remembered how to climb over the mountain and jump from a tall tree to sneak into the palace.
Darren didn't know if he could find any evidence to prove that he was the second prince. He just wanted to come and see his father, mother, and the brother who was imprisoned in the dungeon.
Tonight, a large number of guards have gone to protect Earl Will and other nobles. Only the troops stationed outside the palace are still holding their posts.
Darren often sneaked out to play when he was a child, and he still remembered the routes ingrained in his bones, so he entered the castle effortlessly.
According to regulations, kings and queens of all generations would be buried in the church of the royal palace. Darren went there first and saw the portraits of his father and mother hanging high on the wall, looking at him kindly.
Darren's tears flowed down his bumpy face. He didn't even get to see his father for the last time.
After bidding farewell to his father and mother, Darren went to the dungeon again. Fortunately, today was an important holiday and the soldiers guarding the dungeon were gathered together to eat and drink. Darren knocked out the person who delivered the food and sneaked in.
He kept his head down and was wearing a hat. The soldier didn't even turn his head and didn't notice that the person coming was not someone he knew.
Darren was delivering meals to the prisoners while trying to locate Ian.
When I got to the end, I saw my brother, who was chained together, looking dirty and disheveled.
Ian was covered in blood, and it was summer, so he smelled terrible. This was even more unbearable for the noble and proud prince than beating him up.
Noticing that the person delivering food at the door had not moved, Ian raised his eyelids slightly.
When he met those familiar eyes, Ian was stunned for a moment: "...Who are you?"
"Brother," Darren's eyes showed no mercy, only resentment that was more complicated than hatred, "You don't look like you're doing well. Why, didn't the witch help you?"
"You! You are Darren!" Ian excitedly got up and wanted to rush over, but the chains pulled him mercilessly. Ian staggered and knelt on the ground.
"Darren, save me! The throne is about to fall into Will's hands. Do you want to watch him take away everything from your father?"
"As long as you rescue me, I will do my best to support you to become king, okay? Darren..."
