Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 498 Everyone Calls Me 'Cinderella' 16

Mrs. Temanee, who was determined to cause trouble for Cinderella, slept until the afternoon.

She was woken up by her two daughters who came into her room and made a fuss about the dress she was going to wear to a party tonight.

"Mother, I think this light blue silk lace dress goes well with my hairstyle today."

Dusula grabbed the collar of the lace-covered skirt and complained to Madam Temani unconvincedly, "But my sister insisted on occupying this skirt."

"This skirt originally belonged to me, why should I give it to you?" Anastasha argued.

The skirt I saw the woman wearing last night was similar to this one. It must have looked very good on her.

Perhaps Prince Henry liked this color and was willing to dance with that woman. The dance with that unknown woman was the most joyful moment for His Royal Highness the Prince.

Dusula also thought of what Anastasia thought. If she wore this dress to the ball today, Prince Henry would definitely be dazzled.

She had never thought this color would be so pleasing to the eye.

The two sisters were on the verge of fighting over a disagreement, and Mrs. Temanee had to jump out of bed in her nightgown to separate them.

"Dusula, this is my sister's skirt, you have your own skirt!"

"But I like this skirt. A sister should give in to her sister!"

Mrs. Temani had a headache, "Then you all shouldn't wear this dress today!"

"Why?"

"why?"

Mrs. Temani thought for a moment and said, "The ones who can attend the ball are all daughters of noble families. How could they wear the same dress to attend the palace ball for two consecutive times? So the woman today will definitely not wear a dress of this color again."

The two sisters looked at each other, and Dusula was the first to let go. "Oh, I'd better put on my new dress! My jewel necklace goes better with the new dress."

Dusula seemed to be worried that her sister would snatch her skirt, so she turned and ran away quickly.

Anastasha did not leave, but looked at her mother. "Mother, Mrs. Heidi said that Cinderella cried and ran to the cemetery behind the manor last night after being rejected by her mother. She stayed there for a long time before coming back. No one in the manor came to see her from beginning to end."

Anastasha went to Mrs. Heidi who was working in the kitchen early in the morning to ask about Cinderella. She would not allow herself to lose to such a helpless woman.

Without the carriage, Cinderella would not have been able to go to the ball anyway.

Mrs. Temani nodded, "Hurry up and pack up. We should leave after we have something to eat!"

Thinking that she would soon see the handsome prince again, Anastasha hugged the skirt to her chest, her cheeks flushed.

"Mother!"

"Go ahead, this dress suits you very well. It's also good to attract the prince's attention."

Anastasha shyly lowered her head and left holding her skirt.

Prince Henry, who was being missed by Lady Temanee and her daughter, was also reciting their names at this moment.

"Countess Temani? Anastasia? Dusula?" He seemed to have no impression of these people at all.

Instead, the steward at the side leaned forward and whispered, "Your Highness, do you remember the lady who accidentally spilled the wine twice last night and almost spilled it on your boots?"

When Prince Henry thought of this, his face darkened. Such clumsy little tricks were no longer used by noble ladies nowadays, but that unfamiliar woman had used it twice in a row and even wanted to do it to him for the third time. If it weren't for her good upbringing that controlled his behavior, he would have wanted to drive that woman out of the palace long ago.

Seeing that the prince looked uneasy, the steward said quickly, "That's Anastasia, the eldest daughter that Mrs. Temani brought to the Count's house!"

"Her sister also wanted to get closer to His Highness, but she was driven to a corner of the banquet by several young ladies from Hegrid's family and could not get closer."

Henry threw away the book recording the Earl's life with disdain, and his calculations gradually took shape in his mind.

"Rilla!" He whispered the name, a comfortable smile slowly appeared on his face, and he whispered softly, "Cinderella!"

The steward seemed to have seen through the prince's thoughts. He was surprised at first, and then he was delighted.

Your Highness, is this the first day you meet a girl that suits your fancy?

His Majesty the King’s efforts were well worth it.

Although Miss Ella was only the daughter of an earl and her father, the earl, had passed away, she owned Manderley Manor, fields suitable for planting, and large tracts of territory.

If His Royal Highness marries Miss Ella, he will be able to take back the fertile land and the huge wealth created by Count Joseph.

Count Joseph was best known not for his governance of the territories under his name, but for his extraordinary business skills.

Henry glanced at the steward who seemed even more excited than himself, and just smiled without saying anything more.

As a prince of a country, how could he care about that little bit of jewelry and wealth?

How precious is what he seeks!

In the attic, Ella sneezed twice as if someone had been talking to her. She rubbed her itchy nose and sat up from the soft quilt in an ungraceful manner.

Outside the window, the rumble of a carriage took away the mother and her two daughters from the manor.

The wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and the young man walked in against the light, carrying a tray.

The boy bathed in sunshine was less gloomy than last night and more energetic.

When I got closer, I realized that it might be due to what he was wearing today.

After taking off the black cloak, the boy was wearing a robe made of fine wool. The robe was deep royal blue and embroidered with intricate and delicate golden patterns, like an incomprehensible spell. The edge of the robe was inlaid with fine silver tassel pendants, which swayed gently with the boy's steps, flashing a low-key and complicated light.

He wore a soft silk shirt underneath, which was slightly lighter in color than the robe. The collar and cuffs were decorated with delicate lace, revealing the boy's delicate and tender skin.

Gu Li's sleepy eyes lit up, "Crane! Good morning!"

"Morning, Rilla. Why don't you get more sleep?"

Gu Li touched her stomach which was making protesting noises and said with a smile, "I woke up because I was hungry." Otherwise, she could have slept until sunset.

"Knowing you'd be hungry, I made pumpkin buns."

Gu Li's eyelids jumped. "Don't cut up all the pumpkins. I still need to ride the pumpkin carriage to attend the dance."

Crane was a little unhappy. How could she not forget to go to the ball after a good night's sleep? "Does Ella have to go to the ball? Will Ella dance with the prince?"

Gu Li got out of bed and prepared to wash up. Upon hearing this, she just hummed lightly, "But my favorite person is still Crane."

It seems that the relationship between the two has reached a harmonious state without any deliberate irritation.

Gu Li easily controlled Crane.

Crane, who was hooked into a black bass, could easily make up for the loss of sending her to another man's party because of her words!
