The sickly boss always wants to get close to her

Chu Bainiao leaned on the vintage mahogany railing on the second floor of the castle and looked down. She saw a little girl in a black and white maid dress kneeling on the ground.

She soaked her slender, white hands in the tub and grabbed a brown towel.

After wringing the towel dry with great effort, I unfolded it, folded it, placed it on the steps and began to wipe.

It was not until she had finished wiping the entire staircase that she seemed to realize someone was looking at her.

Then she raised her head, and on her facial skin, as delicate and pale as snow under the moonlight, were a pair of beautiful eyes sparkling with melancholy and hope.

The nose is straight and high, with an exotic depth and uprightness, and the lips are small and thin.

When she met Chu Bainiao's eyes, which were as calm as a whirlpool, she was like a frightened deer.

Two soft blushes appeared on her cheeks, her beautiful eyes were filled with water and surprise, and she timidly called out, "Aunt Chu."

Hearing this, Chu Bainiao nodded with a complicated expression.

She leaned against the mahogany railing and tapped it lightly with her slender fingertips, making a subtle sound.

"Cinderella, why don't you let the servants do this?"

The little girl named Cinderella curved her eyebrows, pursed her small and delicate lips and smiled shyly, "Because I can do it, Aunt Chu, I like to do these."

After Cinderella finished speaking, she dipped the towel back into the water to clean it, and began to wipe the second step.

The girl's small body knelt on the mahogany steps, looking very pitiful.

Chu Bainiao suppressed the emotions in his eyes and asked in his soul: [System, is she really my senior brother? ]

The system was silent for a while: [Yes, Immortal Venerable, don’t you also feel the familiarity that belongs only to the remnant soul? ]

Chu Bai Niao still found it hard to accept, [He became a girl in this world? ]

The system said: [Don't worry, he is a man, but he was raised as a girl. ]

The system thought, in other words, he was a cross-dresser.

Chu Bainiao looked at the small figure wiping the steps carefully, but still found it hard to accept.

This is a fairy tale world similar to The Mermaid, but this world is obviously more realistic and weirder.

It cannot be said to be exactly the same as the original text, but at least it has nothing to do with it.

For example, Cinderella in the story is a girl, but Cinderella in this world has become a cross-dresser.

And she herself became the legendary evil stepmother.

She was originally from the East. She was sold by her parents to be a concubine. On the way, she escaped with a little money, took a boat out to the sea, and came to this strange country.

With her own efforts, she quickly mastered the language of this country. She knew that as an orphan with nothing and no power, she could not protect herself in this strange country.

So soon, relying on these people's admiration for her oriental appearance, she carefully selected and married a nobleman who had a daughter, but it didn't matter, as having money was enough.

Later, she successfully married into the family. Unfortunately, the nobleman died on their wedding night, and she became a widow. While inheriting the nobleman's vast fortune, she also inherited his daughter.

The original body had been at large for half a year, but she had not expected that as a beautiful and wealthy widow, she would attract so much attention that countless men wanted to make a move on her in just half a year.

As a last resort, she chose her second husband. Although her second husband also had a daughter, he was the captain of the royal guard and was capable of protecting her and her daughter.

Perhaps she was born to be unlucky in marriage. On the wedding day, His Royal Highness the Prince personally attended the wedding, but he did not expect that an assassin would appear at the wedding scene. Her second husband was stabbed to death while trying to protect His Royal Highness the Prince.

The original body once again inherited the property and daughter of her second husband.

This time, because her husband died to protect His Royal Highness the Prince, under the protection of the royal family, no one dared to make plans against them. The original body and her two stepdaughters lived a pretty good life.

But the good times did not last long, because His Royal Highness the Prince was always concerned about me, and I was often invited to small banquets.

And it was at these banquets that the original body's beauty quickly attracted the Duke's attention.

Now that she was rich and safe, she had no intention of remarrying, but the Duke pressed her too hard, so she had no choice but to take her two daughters and agree to live in the Duke's castle for a while.

The carriage hit a mudslide on the road and the original owner unfortunately died. The company reached an agreement with her, and after Chu Bainiao recovered from her injuries, she took a carriage to the Duke's castle.

It was also at the castle gate that she saw her senior brother.

His soft brown hair was braided and hung down at his side. He was wearing a yellow court dress and stood next to the Duke.

His skin is fair and tender, with long and curled eyelashes, brown eyes that are as bright as glass, and the deep and three-dimensional bone structure of a foreigner. He is as beautiful as a doll.

At the Duke's signal, the doll lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, leaned slightly towards Chu Bainiao, and called out in a sweet and soft voice: "Nice to meet you, Aunt Chu. Nice to meet you."

……

"Mommy, what are you looking at?" The eldest daughter's clear voice brought Chu Bainiao back to her senses.

Chu Bainiao looked back in a daze, only to see her eldest daughter slowly approaching in a burgundy puffy skirt. She lowered her eyes and saw Cinderella cleaning downstairs.

She leaned in close, spoke softly, and the fragrance of the noble girl came over, "Mommy, this duke is so weird, why would someone like to do this?"

"I'm telling you in secret," Chu Bai Niao glanced sideways and saw her deep blue eyes, "the servants here don't respect her at all, and some even call her Cinderella."

As soon as he finished speaking, the second daughter of the original body also came over. Her father was the captain of the royal guard. The education she received since childhood made her face look particularly tough and heroic.

She walked to the other side of Chu Bainiao and stood, looking down at the poor little guy who was wiping the stairs at the bottom of the building.

In this situation, no matter who takes a look at it, they will subconsciously think that three vicious women in bright and beautiful clothes are bullying a simple and pitiful girl.

Chu Bainiao opened her feather fan, covering the lower half of her face, leaving only a pair of deep and calm eyes.

"Miss Chu, you are here!"

Cinderella's father, the Duke, pushed open the solid wooden door with both hands and saw the mother and her two daughters standing on the stairs.

The lady surrounded by the two girls had black hair and black eyes from the East. Her soft and dignified face fascinated him greatly.

He even completely ignored his daughter who was scrubbing the stairs in a dusty maid's dress.

"Miss Chu, would you like to take these two lovely ladies to visit my garden?"

The Duke extended an invitation.

As soon as the Duke entered the room, Cinderella stopped working and looked over with admiring eyes as pure as a deer, as if she was hoping that her father would notice her.

After realizing that his father didn't even look at him, he lowered his head in disappointment and pity.
