Night visit to Donora

Chapter 5

Donora lowered her head slightly, quietly followed the maid and got out of the carriage, and walked slowly among the crowd, hoping that she would not attract the attention of others.

It was already midnight when the auction ended.Returning from the auction to the new "owner"'s manor, the sky has already revealed the twilight of dawn.The orange shimmer shone on Donora's fair arms, and she only felt that the coldness in her body had dissipated a bit, and she slowly became warmer.

The maid turned her head and saw that Donora's pale face was stained with tiredness, and she took the initiative to say: "...I'll go to my uncle first and ask about the arrangements for you in the future. If... If there is nothing else, I will take you there first rest."

"Uncle?" Donora's tone rose slightly, with a bit of confusion.

"Well, it's Mrs. Butler." The maid was a little proud, "otherwise, how could I have been raised so well." As she spoke, she lifted her skirt with her hands, "This dress is better than the clothes of ordinary maids. There are too many, and there are delicious foods, I can eat the leftovers from the master." After she finished speaking, she blinked at Donora, "I'll ask for you, don't wander around .”

Donora nodded to the maid, indicating that she would stand where she was and wait for her to come back.After the maid walked out for a few minutes, she suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

"Lizzie, my name is Lizzie, doesn't my name sound nice?" Since Lizzie "made Donora cry", she seems to be a lot closer to her, and the queen has returned to her original appearance, words and expressions have become more.

Donora nodded, "It sounds good."

"Hey, my uncle brought it for me." After Lizzie finished speaking, she quickly ran towards the butler, where her uncle was standing.

Donora stood where she was, looking at the manor and the surrounding environment calmly.The manor owner's financial resources are much worse than his own family's... After Daddy and Mummy are gone, will Her Lady Queen take that money away?Will the castle that belongs to them... be signed by someone else?

As Donora thought about it, a look of sadness welled up in her eyes.

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the servants not far away. The voice of "Buzzing" became louder, and after a while, a woman jumped out of the crowd and ran towards the forest.However, in just a moment, the woman was quickly pressed to the ground, and her hands and feet were tied with ropes.

Donora looked at the woman bound by the rope.The woman looked two years older than herself, with fair and smooth skin, and the fabric of her clothes was much better than ordinary people's, but her brown eyes were bloodshot.Her situation... seems to be similar to her own.Thinking of this, she suddenly took a step towards the woman.

"Donora!" Lizzy ran towards the captured woman from a distance, with a bit of worry in her tone.When she ran close and realized that Donora was still standing there, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.Lizzy stepped forward and tightly grasped Donora's wrist, panting heavily, and when she recovered, she said in a low voice: "I thought you were so stupid and wanted to run away."

Donora saw Lizzy looking up, she controlled her eyes to look at her, "I...how could I escape, at least I can live here." Donora knew that all the masters They all hate unfaithful servants, just like themselves at the beginning.

Lizzy patted Donora on the head, "Yes, Donora is really smart." She said, her eyes moved to the woman who was tied up by the rope, her tone was filled with sarcasm and contempt, "Does she think she is What kind of noble lady! She was bought by the owner at a huge price and still wants to run away!"

"You mustn't be so stupid..." Lizzie said, looking at the woman with a bit of sympathy in her eyes, "Since she just bought it back, she shouldn't die. But she probably will. It's better to die..." After finishing speaking, she probably still felt a little worried about Donora, so she pulled her to read: "You must not think about running away unless you are ordered by the master or... there is someone with a higher status than the master. People want you..."

"If you run away privately and get caught, you will be branded as a slave on your body. It will follow you as a shame for the rest of your life. If you dare to escape a second time, the master will let you take off your clothes and cut off your hands." And feet, and finally throw you into the forest behind. You can often hear the howling of beasts from the forest at night..."

Donora looked at Lizzy with a look of fear in her eyes. She nodded in panic and assured her, "I really won't run away..." She looked and was taken to the basement of the manor The fleeing woman asked in a low voice, "That person won't die, will he?"

Lizzie snorted coldly, "No, the master loves her. She may be beaten a few times, and she will be released after a few days of starvation." As she spoke, she quickly looked away, as if looking at her more would make her dirty My own eyes are average.She looked at Donora, "Uncle said you should go to the room next to me to have a good rest first. At dusk... Auntie will come and take you to eat and bathe. At night... the master will love you very much."

Donora lowered her eyes and nodded after a while, "I see."

Lizzy patted her on the shoulder, "You, don't be afraid. Master...he has done that kind of thing many times, it shouldn't hurt very much, just endure it. As long as you are loved by the master After that, you can eat meat!" She seemed a little shy as she spoke, "I also want to be loved by the master... After being loved once, life will always be better than now, the master will reward you. And if I can give birth to a boy... I will have someone to rely on in the future. It's a pity that the master doesn't like me..." She couldn't help but feel a little down at the end.

Donora's eyes turned slightly, and she was about to say something when she saw a woman walking over with a smile.When Li Ji saw the woman, her disappointment was swept away, she quickly stepped forward, and called "Auntie" affectionately.

Donora stepped forward and politely called "Mrs. Housekeeper".

The butler's wife nodded in return, "Donora? You go to rest with Lizzy first. At six o'clock, I will call you in your room. Take a good rest." After she finished speaking, she leaned over and touched her with her lips. After touching Lizzie's forehead and whispering something to her, Lizzie took Donora's hand and ran towards the room.

Donora was pushed into the room by Lizzy. Lizzy smiled at Donora, and pointed to the bed, "It's all clean. You haven't slept all night. Rest well now."

After Donora said "thank you", Lizzy turned and left the room, closing the door by the way.

Donora stepped forward and locked the door, and she didn't relax until this moment.After hearing so much from Lizzie, she knew that the chance of her escaping was very slim, but she had to obtain the right to move freely instead of being trapped in this small manor.

Now there are two paths before her, first: wait a month later, wait for that big sister to take her away.Second: ... If the big sister doesn't come, she has to please her "master".

Donora was lying on the bed, looking at the dirty ceiling, her emerald green eyes were full of confusion.Anyway, let's rest for a while, Donora raised her hand and stroked her forehead, which was still glowing with low fever, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

"Dong dong dong..." Donora was awakened by the knock on the door.After sleeping, she felt that her low fever was almost gone.She stood up, straightened her skirt and opened the door.

"Donora, come with me." After finishing speaking, the housekeeper's wife carefully looked at her face, and suddenly asked, "Have you recovered from your low fever?"

Dono twitched the corners of her lips, "Thank you Madam for your concern, it's almost ready."

The housekeeper's wife's lips curved slightly, "I don't care about you. Your low-grade fever is gone, and I can't handle it." She chuckled, "Take a bath later, you can wash it with cold water."

Donora lowered her eyes and said nothing.
