Even Daisy can't match half a point.
She subconsciously reached out and stroked her face, and then noticed the gorgeous evening dress on her body and the shiny shoes on her feet. She was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
Feeling that she was in a dream, she pinched her thigh hard, feeling the real pain, she was taken aback for a few seconds, suddenly turned her head, and looked at the quietly burning candle on the table.
In his eyes, there was first panic and then infatuation.
"This...is it a strange thing in a legendary story?" In this world that truly possesses extraordinary powers, it is not uncommon for people at the bottom to accidentally obtain ancient strange things.
However, Meili used to think that it was a fantasy in the story, but never thought that she was so lucky.
"By the way, the charity dinner at Count Ender's Mansion..." She suddenly remembered the information revealed to her by the mean maid in the morning, and then a bold idea emerged uncontrollably.
There was a hesitation on her face, but when she got up, tried to imitate Daisy, holding the skirt, and turning awkwardly in front of the full-length mirror, that hesitation suddenly disappeared:
"Perhaps, I can also go in... I heard that the charity gala is semi-public, and there are many people attending. If I am one more, I should not be discovered..."
In front of the mirror, Mei Li whispered to herself, but it was more like finding a reason for herself.
When the thought was settled, she immediately looked at the prayer candle and folded her hands again: "I make a wish, and there is a carriage waiting for me at the entrance of the street for me to ride."
A faint light circle opened, and immediately, Meili carefully blew out the candle, hiding the candlestick and a box of matches on her body.
He opened the door, avoided the people in the shop like a thief, slipped out through the remote back door, and ran all the way to the corner.
There, as expected, a brand new four-wheeled carriage stopped here.
A coachman was looking forward to her arrival and respectfully opened the car door: "Miss Meili, please."
Really!
All this is true!
Mei Li clenched her hands and bit her lip, her beautiful face was filled with uncontrollable excitement, and she barely calmed down after taking a few deep breaths.
"...Okay." Looking at the coachman, she wore a naked skirt, imitating the steps of the noble lady she had seen, and boarded the carriage gracefully.
The movements are slightly stiff, but the behavior is also decent-she has practiced secretly before.
"Where are you going, please?" the coachman asked.
Sitting in the soft carriage, Mei Li folded her hands in silk gloves in front of her, calmly saying:
"Go to the house of Count Ender, I want to attend a banquet."
"Yes."
...
Soon, the carriage ran along the streets of the night, not fast or slow, very smoothly.
Shortly after nightfall, there were still many pedestrians, carriages, and horses on the street. Mei Li opened the window of the car and looked at the fast passing streets excitedly and novelly.
Soon, the carriage left the city and drove to the north, and the surrounding buildings became "rich" visible to the naked eye.
When the carriage finally stopped outside the house of Count Ender, and the coachman opened the door, Mei Li suddenly became nervous and uneasy.
Especially looking at the densely packed vehicles parked outside, the garden villas covering a very wide area in the distance, and the gentlemen and women entering and exiting at the door of the brightly lit building, there was an urge to escape.
"You can..." Silently encouraged herself, Meili got out of the car with a little trembling.
The Earl’s Mansion is a tall and design building with a pure white exterior, like a palace, with a huge garden separated by iron railings.
It is late autumn, and it is also a cluster of flowers. The wide pavement in the courtyard is flanked by embossed flower beds, and the central fountain spit out misty mist.
Although the entrance was illuminated by gas street lights, it still looked a little dim. When Meili slowly walked towards the open hollow door with the flow of people, she was suddenly stopped by a servant:
"Dear guest, please show your invitation card."
Invitation!
Mei Li was stunned, showing an annoyed expression.
She forgot the wishing invitation!
"I... I forgot at home." She replied flusteredly.
"So...Which young lady are you?" Although the servant was surprised at her beauty, he asked dutifully, especially after discovering that Meili was only carrying a driver, he was even more suspicious.
"I...I am..." Mei Li didn't know how to answer for a while, but at this moment, suddenly, a gentle voice sounded:
"Interrogating a beautiful lady is very rude."
Mei Li turned her head and saw a tall, handsome young man walking over with a smile.
"Master..." The servant hurriedly saluted.
Mei Li suddenly, is Earl Ender's son?
"I apologize to you for his impoliteness, please come in with me." The young man was very gentle and authentic, and immediately raised his hand and led Meili into the door.
"I... forgot the invitation, is it okay?" Mei Li asked nervously.
Seeing the worry on her delicate face and the frightened deer-like eyes, the second son of the earl breathed tightly, only feeling agitated, and immediately said:
"Don't mind, please allow me to lead you."
Having said that, it was even more advanced.
Looking at the other person's generous back, Mei Li blinked, her hand holding her skirt tightened again, gritted her teeth, and followed.
Passing through the garden and passing the fountain, the two entered the bright banquet hall.
At this moment, there are many figures in the hall. The daughter of a nobleman or businessman, who is well-dressed, is pacing in the melodious music, like a delicate flower.
However, when Meili stepped into the hall and was exposed to the eyes of everyone, the entire banquet hall was eclipsed.
...
For Mei Li, tonight is really an experience she has never had in her life, even in her dreams.
Her beauty suppressed everyone and became the focus of the entire dinner, including the Miss Daisy, who was also left out in the corner of the banquet hall, and the tall and handsome second son of the earl, who looked like a shepherd dog, was even more so. Inseparable, exhausted all kinds of ways to pour love to her.
The young nobleman who fell into fanaticism instinctively ignored Mei Li’s doubts. Mei Li’s awkwardness fell in his eyes and became cute. When talking about her identity, he became "girly". Shy"...
Under the meticulous care of the other party, Mei Li also became cramped and nervous at first, and slowly, her expression became more relaxed. The exquisite food on the long table also made her feast for her.
In the end, she even accepted the invitation of the second son of the earl, and danced to the sound of music...All of this attracted her, until late at night, when the dinner was over, she reluctantly embarked on the return journey. carriage.
He also calmed the second son of the earl who was in a misunderstanding with a weaving of lies.
...
"Grumbling..."
When the sound of horse-drawn carriages crushing the road reverberated in the ears, the noise and bustle of the surroundings dispersed.
With an intoxicating blush on her face, Mei Li leaned in the soft carriage, skillfully imitating the noble lady, pressed her groggy forehead, and fell asleep.
"Boom...boom..."
I don't know how long it took. When Mei Li was awakened by the bell of the church in the distance, she found that the carriage was parked in the alley near the laundry.
Outside the car window, it was still dark night, but the bell told her clearly that the night was about to pass.
Reminiscing about the experience last night, she felt inexplicable emotions in her heart.
Suddenly, the first ray of sunlight in the east tore through the darkness.
At the same time, Mei Li's dress was transformed into worn-out clothes, and the crystal shoes on her feet were restored to their original shape, and even her plump figure was restored to shriveled.
"Who are you? Why are you in my car?" The driver's doubtful and angry voice sounded in his ears. Then, when the door opened, she was dragged out, "Damn, how did you sneak up? Go down, don't dirty the car!"
Standing stupidly at the entrance of the alley, Mei Li's eyes widened, looking at the wagon that was leaving quickly, she didn't recover for a while.
After a long pause, she rummaged in her pocket to find out the half of the candle and a ring-this was a gift from the second son of the earl last night.
Then, she remembered the content on the note:
"At dawn, the wish fails."
"Is that so... Magic can only last one night?" Mei Li woke up, disappointed at first, and then her eyes brightened again.
If it’s a wish... it’s not a problem at all for only one night.
She can make a wish to get a large amount of money, and then store it in the bank and turn it into a certificate of deposit.
Well, to be safe, deposit a small amount every time, so that even if the coins disappear after dawn, the bank's deposit certificate should still be there.
As if the ring in his hand was still there.
Of course, this is just the simplest method. As long as you plan carefully, you can get rich quickly without serious violation of the law.
"Thank the gods." Mei Li quickly put away the prayer candles, and then returned to the laundry with a complicated mood.
...
There was a lot less work on Tuesday, but Meili became more absent-minded.
I was scolded by Mrs. Silin while working, and she was so daring to go back. The angry opponent stuck in the waist, repeatedly shouting "reversed"... and claimed to deduct half of her salary.
Finally, she turned around and left under the persuasion of other female workers.
Mei Li just sneered at this and secretly planned her wish for tonight, but at noon, an unexpected news made her feel uneasy.
"It is said that the police went to the home of Earl Ender today and said that they were investigating something. Even the guests who attended the charity party last night visited one by one."
"Is there anything like this? What happened?"
"I don't know, I heard it is related to the so-called cult and black magic that have been investigated in the kingdom recently."
During the lunch break, Mei Li's expression suddenly became tense after listening to the discussion of other female workers.
Cult... black magic?
This reminded her of the "candle of prayer" involuntarily, but quickly shook her head:
"No, it's impossible, I have used it, but I have not suffered any curse, and no black magician has come up... Well, the police must be just doing a routine, it must be so!"
Self-suggestion was carried out, and soon, the day's work was over and it was evening again.
Mei Li, who had finished her work, walked out of the laundry, and then took the money she saved and called a carriage:
"Go to the East Side."
she says.
The tone is firm.
She has decided on her wish for tonight.
