Five years after Mr. Baker's death, his widow, Lady Isaac Baker, was ardently courted by the Earl of Termany.

Mr. Baker was a businessman when he was alive. He was shrewd, capable, bold, and sensitive. In just a few years, he caused earth-shaking changes in his family and became a well-known local nouveau riche.

But at the same time, Mr. Baker is also busy, rude, not gentle, and inconsiderate. The beautiful Mrs. Baker is actually very dissatisfied.

Mr. Baker and Mrs. Baker have two daughters, the eldest daughter Anatasha and the second daughter Dusula.They all inherited Mrs. Baker's beauty and were very beautiful.

Accidents will happen.When Anatasha was six years old, Mr. Baker had an accident while on a business trip and died.Mrs. Baker had no choice but to shoulder the burden of the family's life on her weak shoulders.

Mr. Baker left many shops, some in this city, some in the next city, and some in cities far away.

Mrs. Baker didn't have the energy to take care of so many shops, so she only kept a few in the city, and sold all the others for a lot of money.

Tired, so tired, very tired!

Mrs. Baker has spent five full years in such a hard-working life of independently supporting a family.

In the past five years, she has imagined countless times that there will be a gentle and considerate handsome man who will take over the burden in her hands and earn money for her to support the family, and she can live a relaxed life that only needs to be beautiful and happy.

Finally, the man in this fantasy appeared.He is the Earl of William Termany.

The Earl of Termani was satisfied, no, to be precise, it was beyond Mrs. Baker's imagination of a perfect man.

As long as he is an earl, his status is noble, which Mrs. Baker never dared to dream about.

God, he is an earl, a nobleman, and his ancestors have the same blood as the royal family!

What a great honor it is for a commoner woman to be favored by him, it is a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes!

Moreover, Earl Termani is so handsome, his blue eyes are as clear as two lakes;

His voice was so soft; his every action was so polite.He would still stare at Mrs. Baker affectionately and say such beautiful words of love.

Mrs. Baker soon fell.

A year after the death of the previous Mrs. Termany, Mrs. Baker accepted the marriage proposal of the Earl of Termany.

Not long after, Mrs. Baker married Earl Termany with her two daughters, Anatasha and Dusula, and a dowry of nearly a million gold coins.

"From now on, you are also the young ladies of the Earl's family, and you are the honorable Miss Termani." The newly appointed Mrs. Isartmani said happily, "With this status, you will definitely be able to marry a good family in the future. .”

The real Miss Termani - the earl's biological daughter Ella is very repulsed by Mrs. Termani as a stepmother.

But Mrs. Termany doesn't care, as long as she holds the earl's heart firmly, what kind of waves can a little girl, Ella, cause?

The high status made Mrs. Termany almost bow down to the earl.As long as the count said it, she would not refuse to do it.

Although some things seemed odd, Mrs. Termany was soon persuaded by the earl's sweet-as-honey reasoning.The earl was born noble, he is the proud son of heaven, what evil could he have?

On the wedding night, the earl said affectionately: "My dear Isa, this will be our common room from now on. You may find it strange that there is nothing in this room except the necessary bed and cabinet. Arranged."

"Because I don't know your preferences yet, I'm afraid that the arrangement of the new house will not suit your wishes. You are so beautiful and gentle, and you can imagine that you must have very high taste.

So I want you to furnish our room by yourself.I love you, what you like is what I like.Even if I am not used to it at first, I will work hard to adapt to it. "

"And this whole house, you can also redecorate it according to your liking. You are my wife, the hostess of this house, and everything here is dominated by your will."

Mrs. Termany responded very movedly.How kind the count was to her, how much he respected her!

Therefore, Mrs. Termani spent nearly [-] gold coins without hesitation to renovate the Earl's Mansion, which is simple and shabby at best, and shabby at worst. It is high-end and classy, ​​and it is very comfortable to live in.

Mrs. Termany and her two daughters were very happy, and the earl was very happy, but Ella was very unhappy, saying that they were like nouveau riche, extravagant and vulgar.

The count yelled at Ira.Mrs. Termany was even happier, seeing how much her husband loved her, and scolded her own daughter in order to defend her.

Soon after the marriage, the earl proposed to travel far away to do business.Mrs. Termany found it very strange that he, a dignified earl, can still do business?

The earl said affectionately: "Originally I would not, but since I fell in love with you at first sight a few months ago, I have started to learn how to trade. You are such a delicate and delicate lady, how can I have the heart to let you marry me After that, you have to endure the hard work of running around?"

"Believe me, I will not let your rose-like face go through the wind and frost again. All the burdens of this family will be carried by me."

Mrs. Termany was even more moved.How much her husband loves her. For her, he can disregard his noble status as an earl, condescend to go to business!

She is so happy!

Before leaving, the count asked Mrs. Termany and her three daughters what presents they would like him to bring them.

Eldest daughter Anatasha said: "I want gorgeous clothes!"

The second daughter Dusula said: "I want beautiful jewelry!"

The earl didn't have the slightest bit of embarrassment on his face, and he agreed.Then he asked his own little daughter Ella, who was standing quietly in the corner with almost no sense of existence: "You child, why are you standing there so stupidly and not talking? Tell me, what do you want Dad to bring you?"

Ella said softly, "Father, I don't want fancy clothes or beautiful jewelry. I just want you to break your hat if any branch knocks off your hat on your way back. I'll be fine."

Mrs. Termany almost laughed out loud.Twig, what is this strange request?Ella is a really weird kid.

No wonder not even her biological father liked her.On the contrary, he prefers his two stepdaughters, Anatasha and Dusula, who are not related by blood.

"My dear Isa, what about you? What do you want me to bring you back?" the count asked Mrs. Termany.

Mrs. Termani shook her head and looked at him affectionately: "Honey, I don't want anything. As long as you return safely, it will be my best gift." As soon as the words fell, the count looked back at Mrs. Termani Tender enough to overflow.

A few months later, the Earl returned, well-dressed, well-accessorized and in high spirits.

He brought back a piece of good news, he won the first battle, and made a full [-]% profit on his first business trip!

The count also brought gorgeous clothes to Anatasha, beautiful jewelry to Dusula, and a branch that knocked off his hat to Ella, as agreed before leaving home.

In addition, although Mrs. Termany did not ask the earl to bring him a gift, the earl still gave her a well-prepared gift, a string of shell necklaces, a set of shell hair accessories and a shell wind chime.

It is said that these dozens of shells were carefully selected one by one by the earl at the seaside, and then punched and strung together by himself.

Mrs. Termany took the present and couldn't have liked it more.She was very moved. Compared with those gifts bought with expensive money, this gift that seemed worthless but was actually full of sincerity was more in line with her wishes.

But Mrs. Termani's good mood was quickly ruined by Ella.Ella took the branch to the cemetery and planted it in front of the grave of her biological mother, former Countess Marianne.

Since then, Ella has gone to the cemetery to miss her biological mother from time to time, and always mentions her with a sad face in front of the earl, and Mrs. Termany gets angry when she sees it.

Did Ella take her stepmother seriously?

Fortunately, the Earl was always on her side.Thinking of this, Mrs. Termany decided to ignore Ella.

The count was a great success in his first business, and Lady Termany admired him immensely.

Therefore, when the earl proposed to take over all the shops under her name, she did not hesitate at all and handed it over happily.Being able to live a prosperous life easily, she will no longer be running around and working hard like before!

In the next few years, every time the Earl went out to do business, he brought back good news, and every trip was very profitable.Mrs. Termany was convinced of that.

However, it is impossible for paper to contain fire forever.

When Ira was 11 years old, when the earl lost Mrs. Termany's dowry almost, he finally hit a hard stubble, not just losing money, but losing his life.

It's very simple.The earl wanted to make a fortune with the last little money in his hand, but he didn't expect to fall into the trap carefully set for him by Baron Johnny.

After the earl found out that he had been cheated, he decided to steal the treasure in Baron Johnny's warehouse out of anger. As a result, the guard found that he was hit in the heart during the conflict, and he lost his breath on the spot.

Of course, what Baron Johnny told Mrs. Termany was another version. It said that when the earl was a guest in his warehouse, he died of a sudden heart attack.

Sudden heart attack death, who can be blamed?The heartbroken Mrs. Termani could only accept her fate.

Then soon, as Lady Termany was taking stock of the Earl's belongings, she realized she had grieved too soon.

Her money, her dowry of nearly a million gold coins, is less than [-] left!

From the beginning to the end, the earl was lying to her and using her. He never made money in business, and he was always losing money!

Even from the very beginning, the count approached her and seduced her deliberately. He married him not because he liked her, but because of her money!

After Mrs. Termany finished the earl's funeral numbly, Ella's grandfather, the Duke's family, came to the door.

They wanted her to share Ayla's dowry of [-] gold coins and let Ayla keep it for herself, or let them keep it.

There was a light in Mrs. Termani's eyes. Didn't their family have no money at all, and didn't Ella still have [-] gold coins in her hand?

So Mrs. Termany wanted Ella to take out the money to supplement the family's living needs.But Ella has always had a bad relationship with her, and of course she refuses.

Mrs. Termany was furious now.Why was her dowry completely defeated by Ella's father.But Ella, a little girl, still has such a large sum of money in her hands?

She has no money, and there is no way to arrange a dowry for her own daughters Anatasha and Dusula in the future.

Why does her two good daughters have no dowry, but Ella, a bastard who is withdrawn and has always been disrespectful and disfilial to her, has such a generous dowry?

Mrs. Termani diverted all her hatred for the Earl to Ella.

Mrs. Termany refused the Duke's family's request to take their granddaughter Ella away and raise them.

Because she is Ella's mother in name and the mistress of the Termani family, she is unwilling to let Ella go, and the Duke has no choice.

In order to save money, Mrs. Termani fired most of the maids and maids in the family. Even Tina and Nina, who had been with her for more than ten years, left only one, and lived a simple life. .

Life is very difficult, and Mrs. Termany had to ask Ella again to take out her dowry money to supplement the family's living needs, but she was still refused.

You don't pay, do you?Well, you'll do all the work of the men and women!The distraught Mrs. Termany dismissed several more attendants.

After that, Mrs. Termany never showed mercy to Ira.She began to use Ella as the lowest maidservant, and let her do all the rough, dirty, and tiring work, regardless of whether she was the earl's own daughter or the eldest lady of a distinguished noble family.

Anastasia and Dusula knew that they were living such a difficult life because they were killed by Ella's father, the Count, and they also began to hate Ella and ordered her to abuse her, so that she would be sick all day long. Too busy to leave.

When the cold winter came, they did not cover Ella with a thick quilt, but only gave her a thin and old blanket, which could not keep out the cold at all.

Ella, who was too cold, had to sleep next to the fireplace, and when she woke up in the morning, her body was covered with ashes.

Anastasia and Dusula laughed when they saw Aila's distressed appearance, "Hey, what an Ella covered in ashes!"

"Sinde (gray), Ella, we will call you Cinderella Cinderella from now on! Hahaha."

Then they laughed even harder.Mrs. Termany saw it, and smiled the happiest, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

Ella has lived through such a hard life for six years.In the past six years, no matter what kind of abuse Ella suffered.

No matter how hard and heavy the work she needs to do every day, she has always gritted her teeth and endured it without giving in.

She protected her money well and held it tightly in her hand, because it was her last resort.

Ruthless stepmom and [-] stepsisters want to take her money, dreaming!

It wasn't until Ella was 17 that things finally turned around.

The queen will hold a three-day grand ball for the prince, inviting famous ladies from all over the country to participate, with the purpose of choosing the future princess for the prince.

As soon as the news came out, all noble families with school-age daughters began to prepare nervously.

Mrs. Termany also made adequate preparations for her two daughters.She took out the money she had saved with great difficulty over the years, and custom-made gorgeous dresses for each of the three mothers and daughters.

"Anatasha, Dusula, my dear children, how beautiful you are. I believe that even if His Royal Highness sees you, he will be fascinated by you."

Mrs. Termany looked forward to, "If His Royal Highness takes a fancy to either of you, then we will never have to worry about it in the future."

As for Ella, of course Mrs. Termany would not have prepared a dress for her.How much does it cost to wear a dress for an important occasion, she is reluctant to give it to Ella!

Ella is a hardcore cock herself, and you want her to get her dressed for prom?It's a good idea!

No, she wasn't even going to let Ella go to the dance!The earl has caused their mother and daughter to suffer so badly, and the father pays the debt. She will never let his daughter have a good time!

So, facing Ella's longing eyes, Mrs. Termany dumped a large pot of peas into the ashes and said, "Cinderella, if you can pick out all these peas within an hour, I can consider Let you go to the ball in the palace."

Ella worked so hard, with sweat on her brow, that she finally completed the task within an hour.

She looked at Mrs. Termany expectantly, but Mrs. Termany gave her a cruel smile: "Cinderella, you don't have a dress, you can't dance, you never go out to socialize, what ball are you going to?" Huh? Look at your dingy and sloppy appearance, don't go out and embarrass us!"

Ella said: "But madam, you just said that if I picked out all the peas within an hour, you would agree to let me go to the palace ball."

Anastasia and Dusula laughed and said, "Mom just said that she was considering letting you go to the ball in the palace, but she didn't say she would definitely let you go."

Ella lowered her head in disappointment. She understood that her stepmother and two stepsisters were just teasing her, and they had no intention of letting her go out at all.

She hates it!One day, she will return the humiliation, the pain, the teasing, the resentment a thousand times over to them. Mrs. Termany and her two daughters enjoyed the three-day ball very much. I reluctantly went home in the middle of the night.

When she got home, Mrs. Termany took great pleasure in seeing Ella huddled beside the ashes in her dirty, shabby clothes.

She never thought that Ella had secretly contacted her grandfather's family long ago, and with the help of someone sent by her grandfather, she also attended the dance!

But Mrs. Termany soon noticed something was wrong with Ella.This guy, why is he often in a trance recently, his cheeks are slightly red, and he often looks out of the window in a daze, and he no longer pays so much attention when working.This pair of virtues is basically the appearance of a young girl who is in love at the beginning of love!

Since when did Ella look like this?Mrs. Termany thought about it carefully, and her expression became solemn, as if Ella had undergone such a change since the day the ball ended.

The prince took the crystal slipper that the mysterious princess left on the steps, and went door to door looking for his ideal!

Then Mrs. Termany found that Ella was in a trance, her cheeks were flushed, and she was more careless in her work.

One night, Mrs. Termany followed Ella into the attic.This attic is old, dirty, and in disrepair for a long time, and almost no one goes up it on weekdays.

"What are you looking for?" Mrs. Termany said suddenly, startling Ella.

Ella faltered: "Ma'am, why are you here? I...I'm not looking for anything. I just couldn't sleep, so I just came out and wandered around."

Mrs. Termany smiled, very evilly, she stretched out her right hand behind her back: "Are you looking for this?" It turned out to be a crystal slipper in her hand!

Ella was stunned. How did the crystal slipper get into the hands of her stepmother?This is how to do?

Mrs. Termany's smile grew wider and more sinister.With all her strength, the crystal slipper hit the wall and shattered into countless pieces!

"I don't know what tricks you used to go to the ball, or what dirty tricks you used to win the prince's heart. But it doesn't matter, everything is over."

Mrs. Termany laughed, "Because, from today onwards, I will not allow you to leave this attic! You, be your Cinderella forever!"

Come on, Mrs. Termany strode away, locked the attic, and only made a small opening to deliver a bowl of leftovers to Ira at noon every day.

She will never let Ella have a chance to stand up!Even if Ella grows wings to fly to glory and wealth, she will cut off her wings by herself!

Want to escape from her palm, dreaming!

Two days later, the prince with the crystal slipper finally came to Termani's house.

Mrs. Termany said to her two daughters: "I don't believe that there are no two identical feet in this world. Come on, you all try."

Anastasia tried it and complained, "Mom, why are Cinderella's shoes so small?"

Mrs. Temani frowned and said, "She is underdeveloped and malnourished. She looks like a bean sprouts. Of course, her feet are small. Oh, if I knew it, I would give her a little more food."

Anastasia smiled and said, "Mom, it's okay, I can wear it!"

Come on, in Mrs. Termany's surprised eyes, she took out a knife and cut off a small piece of her toe!

Mrs. Termany was very distressed: "Anatasha, what are you doing?"

Anatasha resisted the pain from her toes, and said with a smile: "As long as I can put on this shoe and become a princess, it doesn't matter if I don't walk in the future. A little pain on my feet is nothing, as long as I can let my mother I am willing to live a good life with my sister."

Mrs. Termany hugged Anatasha tightly: "Good boy, I'm sorry for you."

However, Anastasia's tricks failed to hide from the prince. The guards saw the blood dripping from her toes and sent her back to the Termani home.

Then Dusula tried the shoes too, and her feet were too big, but better than Anastasia, she was only slightly bigger at the heel.

So, under the surprised eyes of Mrs. Termany, Dusula also took out a knife and cut off a small piece of her heel!

Mrs. Temani cried: "Dusula, what are you doing? It's useless, you can't fool them. Isn't your sister discovered?"

Dusula smiled weakly: "No, I only left such a little blood, and it will stop soon. They won't find out. As long as my mother and sister can live a good life, accept this Pain, I am willing."

Mrs. Termany hugged Dusula tightly: "Good boy, I'm sorry for you."

However, Dusula's tricks did not fool the prince. The chief guard found that her posture in the carriage was not right, and insisted on checking her feet, and the secret was exposed.Dusula was also sent back to the Termani home.

Then, when the prince, who felt teased, angrily questioned Mrs. Termany, he suddenly smelled a very familiar smell, which came from the fireplace.

The prince's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Are there any other girls in your family?"

Mrs. Termany couldn't hide anymore, so she had to open the attic and let Ella come down.

Ella put on the glass slipper easily, and smiled shyly at the prince.

The prince looked at her face carefully for a long time before he smiled and said, "So it's you! Beautiful girl, I finally found you." He recognized Ella!

Before Ella was taken into the palace, she smiled triumphantly at Mrs. Termani, and smiled very relieved: "Madam, do you regret it? Man is doing it, and God is watching. You treat me like that, but did you think that I would still be like this?" One day? Now that your two daughters have injured their feet, you don’t know how to live in the future, this is all retribution!"

Mrs. Termany gritted her teeth: "What do I have to regret? I have kept you fed and clothed all these years, made you have endless work all day long, and made you live like a lowly maid. Very happy! You deserve these, and you people named Temani owe me all of this!"

"Also, Cinderella, do you think your life will be easier once you enter the palace? I'm waiting to see you cry!"

Ella didn't take her words to heart, and looked towards the palace with full expectation: "No, from today onwards, I will never cry again. I am not Cinderella, I am Ella, and I am the future princess! I I will marry the prince, and I will live happily ever after with the prince!"

Mrs. Termany smiled coldly and turned her head: "Then get out."

Ella's smile was colder than hers: "It's you who should get out, the prince already knows what you have done to me these years, he decided to make the decision for me and get rid of your countess status! From tomorrow, you and your The two daughters will return to your positions as commoners, and you have lived in this Earl's Mansion for more than ten years in vain, and you don't deserve to stay any longer!"

Mrs. Termany laughed, even tears: "Really? I've been looking forward to this day for a long time, and it's finally here!"

"Why tomorrow? We're leaving today!"

Mrs. Termany was not talking about it, but she really took Anastasia and Dusula out of the Bofu Mansion without any regrets, and returned to her former home—the house of her late first husband, Mr. Baker. .

Looking at the portrait of Mr. Baker hanging on the wall, she burst into tears.

In the past ten years, she has lived like a big joke!

If there is a next life, she will never marry Earl Temani again!

If there is a next life, she must take good care of the property left to her by Mr. Baker, hold the money firmly in her own hands, and never trust others!

If there is a next life, she will definitely take good care of her two daughters and never let their left feet be irreparably damaged!

Mrs. Termany caressed the portrait and cried aloud!
