When Ella was six years old, her mother, Marianne, became sicker and sicker, and passed away on a still night after seeing doctors all over the city with no improvement.

Before Marian died, she told Ella in front of her husband, Earl Termani: "You must be a good child. Be kind, obedient, and kind, you know?"

Little Ella nodded sensibly: "I know, Mom, I will."

But after the count left, Marianne held Ella's hand tightly, conveyed the real dying instruction to her daughter in a weak but firm voice, and repeated this important sentence three times: "Forget what you just said! Kindness, obedience, and kindness, just do superficial tricks to coax people. If you really put it in your heart and put it into practice, you will be allowed to be humiliated and bullied! Ella, don’t be fooled by these people. You have been blinded by false fame, and you have fallen into a situation that makes your mother feel sad!"

"You have to remember that people's minds are easy to change, especially men, nine out of ten are unreliable, but money will never betray you.

Therefore, you must keep the things I left for you, and don't give them to others, including your father; you must also try your best to look after your father's things, and don't let irrelevant people take advantage of them.do you know? "

Ella was puzzled: "Mom, do you mean that I don't even trust my father?"

Marianne's tone was very firm: "I don't believe it! Your father will marry another woman soon after I die, and he will have other children with that woman. My poor Ella, by then you will be A child with no father and no mother.

Ella burst into tears: "Mom, don't worry, I've written it all down."

Marianne was right.Spring goes to winter, and in less than a year, the count will marry a new wife.

The new Mrs. Termany was originally the widow of Mr. Baker, a well-known local upstart. She was very beautiful and charming.

She also has two daughters who look a lot like her, Anastasia and Dusula, aged 11 and nine.

The earl said cruel words to Ella tenderly: "Father is going to meet your new mother. Ella, you are a good and sensible child. When you see her later, please call her mother."

"Your new mother will bring two older sisters. They are well-bred children. Ella, you have to get along with them, remember?"

Ella lowered her head silently, and responded muffledly.

Why would dad marry a new mom?She is obviously the only child in this family, how could there be two more unrelated girls as her older sisters suddenly?

Ella didn't like the new Mrs. Termany, very much.

The count doted on the new lady very much, and even smiled when he looked at her.Ella felt that Mrs. Termany had usurped her biological mother, Marianne, and she didn't like it.

The count loved the two daughters Anatasha and Dusula brought by the new wife very much, and cared about them very much. They always laughed when they chatted.

Ella felt that the two stepsisters had taken her place and taken away her father's love, and she didn't like it.

The count believed in Mrs. Xin very much, and agreed to her to redecorate and decorate the whole house according to her own preferences.

Two months later, the house changed, and it was contaminated with the extravagant and worldly atmosphere of Mrs. Termany, who was born as a merchant woman. It no longer looked like Marianne when she was alive, and she didn't like it.

Ella hates them!She became more and more silent, quiet and hardly speaking.

She is very repulsive to Anatasha and Dusula's ulterior motives. She is the daughter of the count, and they are just the daughters of nouveau riche. She doesn't want to be sisters with them, they are not worthy!

"Mom, Ella misses you so much." Many leisurely afternoons and many nights in the dead of night, Ella leaned blankly by the window sill of her room, and murmured with tears.

Not long after the Earl got married, he told his family about his plans to travel far away to do business.

Ella was shocked: "Dad, you are an earl, how can you run around doing business like a businessman?"

The earl smiled and patted her head: "It's not to let you live a better life. Well, don't talk about it, I have already decided on this matter."

Ella clenches her hands tightly, it's all because of Mrs. Termany and the others!

Their living habits are so extravagant, I don't know how much money they spent at home during this time!It forced my father to go out and do business to make money for them to squander!

Before the count set off, he asked them one by one what they wanted him to bring back.

Anastasia said: "I want gorgeous clothes." How much would that cost!Ella thought.

"I want beautiful jewelry," Dusula said. That would cost more!Ella thought.

But the earl didn't hesitate at all, and agreed directly!Ella was both angry and distressed at her father.

So when it was Ella's turn, she thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Papa, I don't want any fancy clothes or pretty jewels, but if any branch knocks off your hat on your way back, Just break off this branch and bring it to me."

Unlike her two greedy stepsisters, she didn't want to make Dad spend more money.

Mrs. Termany, however, laughed and said her request was outlandish.The count didn't think she was caring either, so he agreed with her frowning.

The count finally asked Mrs. Termany.Ella saw her say affectionately pretending to be caring words: "Honey, I don't want anything, as long as you come back safely, it will be my best gift." It's really sour, but Dad just eats this set!

And Ella hated Mrs. Termany even more.

A few months later, the earl returned with a full load, and happily told them that he had made a full [-]% of the profit on this trip!

He also brought gifts to everyone in the family, as he said before, including Mrs. Termany who didn't ask for anything.

"She didn't know that Dad would definitely not miss her, so she pretended to say that she didn't want anything." Ella thought silently, thinking that Mrs. Termani was a hypocritical bitch.

"Dad, you made a lot of money this trip." Ella said, "You don't have to go out to do business anymore."

The earl smiled and said, "How is that possible? A lifetime is so long, and you need to spend a lot of money."

Ella bit her lip, hard.Yes, as long as there are Mrs. Termany and her two stepsisters, the lifetime expenses of their family will be an unimaginable astronomical figure!

In order to satisfy their desire for extravagance, Dad has to travel far and hard again and again, which is really too much!

So each day Ella hated Mrs. Termany, and her two stepsisters, more than the day before.

Such days are really sad, and Ella misses her biological mother more and more.She took the branch to the cemetery, planted it in front of Marianne's grave, and visited the grave every few days to remember her.

She also looked for every possible opportunity to mention Marian in front of the earl, to let her father remember her mother more, and to use this method to prove that her mother is the real hostess of the family, and Mrs. Termany is just a latecomer , will never be better than her mother.

So Mrs. Termany hated Ella more and more.

After Ella learned that Mrs. Termani had handed over all the property under her name to the earl, she angrily expressed her objection to her father.

"Father, how could Madam be like this?" Ella was furious, "Why is she so lazy and entrusts you to do all her work?"

The earl smiled gently and said, "Ella, your mother used to be a widow, and there was no man in the family, so she had to take care of those shops herself. Now she is married to me. With me here, how can I have her?" Why do women go out and work hard?"

"Okay, stop talking, I've made my decision."

She is not my mother!Ella was roaring inside, always like this, time and time again, her father made constant compromises for the three of them!She hates it!

For the next few years, Mrs. Termany and Ira's relationship remained icy.

Accidents will happen.Suddenly, one day, bad news came. When the earl was a guest at Baron Johnny's house, he suddenly had a heart attack and died before he could be treated!

Ella feels like the sky is falling!

At the age of six, she lost her mother; at the age of 11, she lost her father!She became an orphan without father and mother!

No, no, nominally, she had a mother. Mrs. Termany was her stepmother, and her stepmother was also a mother.But such a mother is better than not having one!

When the count's body was brought back, Mrs. Termany wept bitterly.But when the count died, she did not shed a single tear from the beginning to the end.

Ella sneered, this is finally unable to pretend, right?She never really loved her father!

Somehow, after the funeral, Ella felt Mrs. Termany looking at her with more disgust, and she couldn't help worrying about her situation more and more.

Ella's ominous premonition comes true.For her own good, the Grandfather Duke's family hoped to separate her dowry of [-] gold coins and let her take care of it herself.

Ella panicked when she heard what they said, God, she forgot to tell them that she had given her the dowry when her mother died.However, shouldn't it be [-] gold coins? Why is it [-]?

Sure enough, after Mrs. Termany knew that Ella had a considerable amount of dowry money in her hand, she decided on the idea of ​​the money.She, a shameless woman, actually wants her to take out the money to supplement the family!

How can it be?If this money is given to Mrs. Termany, with their extravagant living habits of spending money like water, I'm afraid it will be over in two years!What about her?

Ella flatly rejects Mrs. Termani's request.

"If it weren't for you to continue to live a life of extravagance, Dad wouldn't need to travel far away to do business again and again, and there would be no accidents, and he wouldn't die!"

Ella yelled at Mrs. Termany, her face full of tears, "It wasn't enough that you killed your first husband, you also killed my father, they all died to satisfy your bottomless material desires of!"

Mrs. Termany actually cried, crying more miserable than Ella.After crying, she looked at Ella with sharp eyes like a sword: "You stupid girl, get out!"

From this day on, Ella's bitter days officially kicked off.

Mrs. Termani dismissed most of the maids and maids, and locked all the vacant rooms. She also closed all ornamental gardens and orchards, and rarely went out to socialize.

Well, without her father making her a steady stream of money, she must save money, Ella thought.

But the work of those retired maids was added to Ella!Ella is busy from morning to night every day, eating less and doing more, and her life is miserable.

The grandfather, the Duke, wanted to take Ella back to raise him, but Mrs. Termani sternly refused. As Ella's nominal mother, she refused to let her go, even the Duke had no choice.

"Ella, you have to be patient, you must be patient." The Duke told her, "Your cruel stepmother can't lock you up forever. When you grow up and marry a good man, she will no longer be able to control you. Life."

The Duchess also repeatedly told her: "If a woman wants to marry well, the dowry is very important. So Ella, you must hold on to the money in your hand!"

So, no matter how much Mrs. Termani and her two stepsisters bullied Shama Ella, Ella gritted her teeth and endured it.

Every once in a while, Mrs. Termany would order Ella coldly: "Give me your money."

Every time, Ella shook her head stubbornly: "I have no money."

Then, Mrs. Termany's training on Ira will go up to another level.

It's been six years of hard life like this.It wasn't until Ella was 17 years old that she finally waited for a turning point to change her destiny.

The queen will hold a grand three-day ball for the prince, and she will choose the future princess for the prince at the ball!

If she could marry the prince... Ayla thought, dreaming.

But Mrs. Termany wouldn't let her go to the ball at all!

Mrs. Termany not only doesn't make Ella a dress, she locks her in her house!They are going to cut off her chance!

But how could Ella sit still?The gardener in the yard was arranged by her grandfather, the Duke, who helped her sneak out of the house through the window, and then got into the uniquely shaped pumpkin carriage prepared for her, and quickly put on the clothes that her grandmother, the Duchess, had given her in the carriage. Prepared light blue dress.

This dress is so beautiful!Ambilight, gorgeous and extraordinary.She put on such a beautiful dress, maybe the prince will look at her more, Ella gently stroked the soft skirt, fantasizing.

Ella's fantasies come true!

The prince glanced at her and never looked away.Just like in a dream, the prince took her hand and danced from the first dance to the last dance, never changing another partner from beginning to end.

It wasn't until the bell rang at 11:30 that Ella woke up like a dream, fled the dance in a hurry, and rushed home.

If Mrs. Termany found out, she would be in trouble!

On the second and third days of the dance, the prince still only danced with Ira.He looked at her with fascinated eyes, and said softly and sweetly: "Beautiful girl, you are so special, so different, I have never seen a girl like you."

Ella shyly said: "Your Highness, where is I so special?"

The prince smiled and said: "Your dress is very beautiful, the most beautiful dress I have ever seen; your face is very beautiful, it is the face I can see and remember most clearly; your smell is very...beautiful, I can From so many guests, it's easy to pick you out."

Ella blushed slightly: "Your Highness, you praise me too much."

On the third day of the dance, Ella escaped from the palace before the twelve o'clock struck midnight.

She noticed sharply that asphalt was splashed on the steps, and deliberately left the glass slipper of her right foot on it.

The prince treats her so special, he must care about her and love her, and he will definitely find her!

Sure enough, on the second day after the ball ended, the prince took the glass slipper and started looking for his ideal person from door to door according to the list of people who attended the ball!

Ella imagined the beautiful scene after she met the prince, and she was distracted more and more, and sometimes she smirked.

Oops!She shouldn't have been out so soon.Mrs. Termany noticed Ella's strangeness, and knew that she was the mysterious girl in the light blue dress at the ball, and followed her into the attic.

Then, in front of Ella, Mrs. Termany smashed her ball slipper into pieces!

"You will never escape from my grasp!" Mrs. Termany locked Ella in the attic and locked her.

Ella yelled frantically: "You vicious bad woman, you will be punished!" She collapsed on the floor in pain.

Two days later, the prince came to the Termani house.

Through the gap in the attic floor, Ella took a full look at the scene in the downstairs room.

The two stupid sisters actually wanted to impersonate her?One deserved to have two small toes cut off, and the other had a small piece of heel cut off.

it's time……

Ella softly sang the song, the song that the prince expressed his love to her when they danced together: "You are the most beautiful cloud in my heart, I can never love you too much..."

He seems to have heard it!As he passed the fireplace, a mysterious smile appeared on his lips, and he asked Mrs. Termany if there were any other girls in the family!He found her!

When Ella was taken out of the attic, her heart was beating like thunder.She looked at the prince, and the prince also looked at her, with a little bewilderment in his expression.

Can't you recognize me in my shabby gray clothes?It's okay, I'll prove my identity.

Ella took off her old cloth shoes, and put her right foot into a crystal shoe, which fit perfectly.

The prince finally recognized her: "Beautiful girl, I have finally found you. I have been looking for you so hard!"

Ella was moved to tears: "Your Highness, I have been waiting for you."

The prince proposed to Ella on the spot and invited her to live with him in the palace.Aila Hongxia agreed with a full face. Her life took a big turn, and finally she was no longer a miserable life of being bullied by her stepmother and stepsister!

But before entering the palace, she still has revenge to avenge!

Ella begged the prince and got permission to divorce Mrs. Termany from the earl.From tomorrow on, Mrs. Termany will have nothing to do with her father!

"You will resume your status as a commoner, and you have to move out of the Earl's Mansion." Ella said coldly, "Do you regret treating me like that?"

Unexpectedly, this is the end of the matter, and Mrs. Termany is still obsessed with it: "I don't regret it! I am very happy to let you do rough work for so many years. This is what you, the Termany family, owe us!"

Ella turns away, talking nonsense again, what do they owe her?

Mrs. Termany also cursed: "Do you think your life will be easier after entering the palace? I'm waiting to see you cry!"

Ella retorted: "No, from today, I will never cry again! I will marry the prince, and I will live happily ever after with him!"

Only, Mrs. Termani's curse came true.

Didn't the prince say that she was beautiful, the face he saw most clearly and remembered most clearly?

But after the prince married her, why did he start to linger on other women?Miss Simon, Miss Hope, Miss Dymer, and so on.

Didn't the prince say that she smelled so special that he could easily tell it apart from the many guests?

But after the prince married her, he seldom got close to her, and even when he got close, he would wrinkle his nose.He even talked in his sleep once, saying that the smell on her body reminded him of the smell of fireplace ash?

Didn't the prince say that she was the predestined person he had been looking for all his life, they were arranged by heaven, and they were destined to be together?

But after the prince married her, he seemed to be in harmony with each other, and he didn't take her to attend some formal and important occasions at all.

Although she really doesn't like these social interactions, it's one thing if she doesn't like it, but it's another thing if the prince doesn't take her with her.

Didn't the prince say that he couldn't love her too much?But after the prince married her, he became more and more indifferent to her.

She cried to the Queen, but the Queen coldly reprimanded her a lot, saying that she did not understand etiquette, that she was ignorant, that she did not know how to communicate, that she knew nothing, that she was not a qualified princess, and that she was not qualified to be the future Queen!

Fortunately, at the critical moment when the queen was already discussing with the officials whether to depose Ella, the princess, Ella found out that she was pregnant with a child!

The royal blood cannot be left outside. For the sake of this child, the queen kept Ella.

Half a year later, the queen abdicated and the prince officially became the new king of the country.As the king's wife, Ella is also known as the queen inside and outside the palace.

However, until Ella gave birth to a cute little princess named Yuxue, who grew up to be able to turn over, crawl, stand, walk, and talk, Ella's queen-sealing ceremony was still not held.In fact, she has no official title at all!

The king has more and more lovers.Miss Simon, Miss Hope, Miss Daimo, and so on, the king and they all have rumors of sexiness.Ella hadn't seen the king for a long, long time.

"It was really hit by that woman..." Aila hugged the little princess, two lines of tears slowly shed on her haggard face, "After entering the palace and marrying the prince, my life will be difficult."

Ella is sick, very ill.The doctor saw that it was depression caused by too much thinking, and advised her to think about it.

After the king heard about it, he just said impatiently: "What is there for her to be depressed? Isn't she not satisfied that the daughter of a poor earl can live such a life?"

Should she be satisfied?she does not know.She felt that happy days should not be like this.

What is it like?

One sunny morning, Ella felt better, so she went out of the palace for a walk.Somehow, it turned to the outside of Mr. Baker's garden.

Mr. Baker, wasn't that Mrs. Termany's first husband?No, it's not Mrs. Termani. Ayla remembered that she asked the prince to avenge her a few years ago, ordered the annulment of the marriage between the earl and Mrs. Termani, and drove the three of them out of their home.

So, that woman is no longer Mrs. Termany, but has resumed her original identity - Mrs. Baker.

Mrs. Baker is much older, but she smiles happily. She holds a two or three-year-old child by her left hand and coaxes them lovingly.The two children hugged Mrs. Baker's thigh in admiration, and called grandma softly.

It turned out to be the child of Anastasia and Dusula.I don't know how they are doing?

Ella was thinking about it when she saw Anatasha, who was walking with a slight limp, walked over with a cane in her right hand, with a confident smile on her face: "Mom, today's business deal is over! Conservative estimates, just this We can earn [-]% profit by batching the goods!"

Mrs. Baker smiled gratifiedly: "Thirty percent profit, then there will be more than 500 gold coins in the account? Anatasha, you are so amazing, you are indeed your father's daughter!"

Anastasia waved her hand: "It's far worse than Dad. When Dad was my age, he already saved nearly a million dollars for the family. But mom, don't worry, the million gold coins were ruined by that guy It’s ruined, and I’ll earn them back a fortune at a time!”

"One day, we will live the good life like when Dad was alive!"

Mrs. Baker wiped her tears: "Thank you for your hard work, Anastasia. These should be my worries, but they are all on you. If I had known you were so upbeat, I should not have married that man in the first place, let alone You should give your father the hard-earned money to mess with him, and lose everything, making us almost unable to live on!"

Anatasha comforted: "It's over, mom, don't cry. Edward and I will take good care of you, and Dusula and Charlie will take good care of you." Edward and Charlie are sisters of Anatasha husband.

Ella couldn't take it anymore.

She discovered that her cognition when she was young may be completely wrong!

What Mrs. Baker said may be right, it is really the people of their Termany family who are sorry for their mother and daughter!

So in those years, Mrs. Baker and her two stepsisters hated her so much, abused her, tortured her, and made her have endless work all day long.Because her father owed them too much!

Aila stumbled back, staggered and almost fell on the road, but was helped by Dusula who was on the way.

Dusula saw Ella's face clearly, and curled her lips: "It's you. You have both feet intact, how can you walk more steadfastly than me?" Dusula also walked with a slight limp, but you couldn't tell unless you looked carefully. .

Ella's voice was a little hoarse: "Second sister..."

Du Sula was taken aback: "Yo, you still call me sister? I can't afford it, but you are a high-ranking queen. By the way, the little princess is almost two years old, why hasn't your queen-sealing ceremony been done yet?" What? How strange."

Ella hesitated, and said, "I'm not in good health..."

Dusula said: "It's not good to stay in the palace, go out and walk around, and there is no one around you. You go back quickly, I won't tell you, I still have to send the caller from the forest to my mother." Where are the pheasants and hares?"

So many years have passed, and they are well. Although Dusula still doesn't like Ella, she doesn't hate her as much as before.To her, she was just a familiar stranger.

Ella looked at her back, raised her voice and asked, "Second sister, how are you doing with your wife and eldest sister?"

Du Sula paused and said, "It's okay. Although life is hard, the eldest sister's business has only improved in the past two years, the children are still noisy, and there are many gossips from the surrounding people, but overall, it is not bad. .”

"But of course it's not as good as you. You became a princess, a queen, and gave birth to a little princess. It's like a fairy."

Ella's smile was a bit bitter: "Madam is very good to you, she loves you very much, she is a good mother."

Dusula nodded: "Of course."

Ella said softly: "Second Sister, I envy you both."

It's fun, the mother is kind and the daughter is filial, and the children and grandchildren are around their knees. The relationship between them is real.

Unlike her, after more than 20 years, she has been living in the lies fabricated by others.

When she saw clearly, her body was almost hollowed out, and her life was almost over.

Dusula asked puzzledly, "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

Ella shook her head: "It's nothing. Madame and Eldest Sister are still waiting for you, hurry up, I'm going back to the palace." She left this place slowly with very heavy steps.

After Ella returned to the palace, her health got worse.

A year later, Ella died of a serious illness, leaving behind a three-year-old little princess.

Then the king found to his horror that he couldn't distinguish all the colors of black, white, gray and blue again!

What's even more frightening is that he can't see the faces of all women except the women who are related to her!

He regretted so much, he knew that he should treat Ella better, but who knew that his illness would be returned to its original form once this predestined person died.

The king who missed the colorful world and all kinds of beautiful women, began to remember Ella's goodness, wrote many articles mourning her, and beautified their acquaintance, knowing each other and loving each other, and wrote it as I wrote a very touching story, the name of the story is "Cinderella".

The story of "Cinderella" is widely circulated. After decades or even hundreds of years, people in later generations are still talking about the romantic love story between the prince and Cinderella.

It has been passed down to the modern age with the rapid development of science and technology, and "Cinderella" has also been adapted into animations, movies, TV series, dramas, etc., each of which can get a very high box office!
