In the dark carriage compartment, there is a biting cold wind blowing into the carriage through the gaps in the planks.

Cold, shivering cold.

The sound of wheels rolling over the stone pavement, the sound of trampling horseshoes, the frequency of wheel rotation, and the sound of wind hitting the carriage board.

And... close at hand, I don't know whose breathing it is.

This extremely strange, but somewhat familiar environment made Shirley's half-dream and half-awake brain even more groggy.

Something in the depths of her memory was quietly revived. She instinctively rejected the awakening of that memory, but her brain was out of her control. The terrifying impression that made her creeping all over her body seemed to be grinning at her, crazily clamoring to get back. into her spiritual world.

I don't know how long it took, maybe just an hour or two, maybe longer.

The closed carriage door was pulled open, and the light came in.

Shirley curled up, trembling, trying to raise her hand to cover her face.

Someone appeared outside the car door and reached out to grab Shirley.

Shirley wanted to struggle, but someone behind her grabbed her arm, picked her up like a hen's wing, and pushed her out of the car.

Shirley wanted to scream, but she couldn't make a sound.

In the confusion, she seemed to hear the person holding her laughing, and said in a flattering tone: "It's a good guy, it only costs five gold coins."

Shirley trembled uncontrollably, her eyes widened in fear.

It was actually not one person who escorted her out of the car, but two people.

The person who opened the car door pinched her chin without being picky, and said with disgust: "It's too expensive, two or three gold coins are enough for this kind of little girl."

It was just... a memory Shirley tried so hard to forget.

From a family that couldn't give her much warmth, but could at least give her a place to live in, she was sold off with a few gossips from passing merchants, allowing her to marry, have children, own The humble longings of her own small family were elusive, and the terrifying memory that completely changed the course of her life.

Xibel was an orphan in the monastery and was sold by the monastery, while Shirley's life was ruined by her family, which made her hate that memory even more and wanted to forget it completely.

Someone picked her up.

Shirley, who was awakened by the horrible memory of the past, opened her eyes with difficulty.

This time, she was truly sober.

She saw the road below her eyes.

It is a garden path paved with cobblestones that can only be seen in wealthy people's homes.

Shirley shuddered, and forced herself to raise her head.

She saw a large hollow iron gate, and a high blue-striped stone wall that was even more elegant than the wall of Westham's elegant dream club.

On both sides of the cobblestone path, there are beautiful gardens that are well maintained even in winter, without any dead leaves.

Shirley's neck drooped limply.

That's right... She was attacked in the window service lobby, and apparently kidnapped.

Ms. Zhao told them not to leave the city hall easily, and they should not act alone when they need to leave, they must be accompanied by an operator.

Who would have thought that someone would have the audacity to enter the city hall and kidnap someone?

There was a constant dull pain on one side of the cheek, which made the over-stimulated Ms. Shirley struggle to maintain a trace of clarity, so as not to faint again soon.

When she was thrown on the smooth marble floor, Ms. Shirley instinctively used her arms to cushion the impact and protect her head.

As Ms Shirley was shaking from the blow to her arm, someone came up to her.

A woman's foot, wearing a satin moccasin, kicked Shirley's side abdomen. The force was much lighter than that of the man who kidnapped her, but it still hurt so much that Ms. Shirley turned over irresistibly. , face up.

The person who kicked Shirley was a maid. Her skin was fairer and more delicate than that of Shirley, who had been exposed to the sun a lot after becoming a clerk. On her wrist, she wore a beautiful bracelet that even Shirley, who was the head of the "Lover Club", could not afford. Disgusted of touching Shirley, a "dirty woman", she took two steps back holding her nose, and stood respectfully behind a lady.

Ms Shirley looked up.

The moment she saw this lady clearly, Ms. Shirley couldn't help but tremble all over.

The lord of Everlook - Baroness Virgil!

A staunch supporter of the Viscount Darcy's family, the lord of Kane Town!

Ms. Shirley knew how much Viscount Darcy hated the current city hall, especially after the coal yard that belonged to their family was taken back by the city hall at half price.

Ms. Shirley swallowed, and her face became paler.

If the hatred of the "capture" of the coal yard is not enough to make Viscount Darcy's family completely break with the city hall, then the tax reform that the city hall is vigorously promoting is enough to make Viscount Darcy, no, all the local nobles turn their faces .

She was actually the first victim of the nobles' counterattack... Thinking of this, Ms. Shirley felt chills all over her body.

"This is Charlie Rex's rumored lover?"

Baroness Virgil sat on the gorgeous high-backed chair, looked up and down the embarrassed Shirley with cold eyes, then turned her head away in disgust.

On the right side of Mrs. Virgil, another lady sitting on a high-backed chair slightly covered the lower half of her face with a small fan, and said critically: "Among commoners, she is considered a beauty, and how much more can I expect from that illegitimate child?" High aesthetics."

The personal maids behind the two noble ladies sneered softly at the right time.

Not everyone can be a lady's personal maid. A servant who has served the master's family for more than three generations has received a more decent education than the children of ordinary middle-class families. behind the hostess.

In the eyes of these senior maids, even middle-class housewives who are qualified to appear on social occasions and win positions to flatter the hostess are just "inferior people", let alone commoners.

A lady of noble status like Mrs. Virgil would disdain to talk to this kind of common people, and she didn't even show interest in taking a second look, so she just waved her hand casually.

The maid who kicked Shirley took half a step forward, and said condescendingly to Shirley who was shivering and curled up on the ground: "Madam will generously give you a chance to save yourself, civilian, to prove your worth."

Shirley, who was trembling with fear, suddenly felt angry.

Of course she knew that in the eyes of noble ladies, she was just as humble as an ant. Even if they killed her, they would not take too much responsibility. If there is a cemetery, even ordinary people will have to praise the generosity of the noble lady who killed her.

Let alone a woman like her who had worked as a prostitute, even if it was the man with the highest social status in a commoner family, being hit to death by a noble carriage would only cost a dozen gold coins.

Shirley didn't think she could influence the city hall's decision-making at all, and even if she could, she couldn't tolerate embarrassing Mr. Rex and Ms. Zhao because of herself.

After making sure that she has no way out, Shirley doesn't feel that there is anything to be afraid of... She has already enjoyed the feeling of being respected, which is impossible for her fate, and she has also experienced being valued and needed by many people. Compared with her life trajectory in the past 20 years, the life in the past six months has given her too much, and she can be content.

Ms. Shirley struggled to stand up, smoothed the messy hair around her ears, straightened the corners of her upturned clothes, and straightened her back so that she would not look too humble and cowardly.

"I am a woman saved by death." Ms. Shirley raised her chin, proudly looked at the maid and lady who looked down on her, and shouted with all her strength, "No matter what you want from me, it is just wishful thinking !Stop dreaming!"

Mrs. Virgil felt offended, and displeasure appeared on her face.

Her personal maid sneered, and winked at the nursing home where Ms. Shirley was escorted.

The nurse of the Virgil's family immediately rushed forward like a wolf, and kicked Ms. Shirley, who was barely standing up straight, to the ground from behind.

"Well said, she is indeed a woman in the city hall."

The sturdy and thick mahogany gate was torn into pieces by the violent thick black vines, and the howling wind rolled up the gate fragments and smashed them into the magnificent hall of the Fugil family.

The gorgeous chandelier was scratched and rattled, the glass of the huge portrait mounted on the wall was shattered, the exquisite large vase taller than a person was scraped and smashed, and the valuable ornaments on the exquisitely carved shelves They all fell.

Mrs. Virgil and the noble lady accomplices uttered panic screams that could not be seen to be any more noble than ordinary peasant women. Although their respective maids tried their best to protect the mistress, they did not live with the pampered dignity of senior maids. Not strong enough for them to withstand all the mahogany gate fragments that were swept in by the wind with the dangerous black mist.

The only one who was not hit by the debris was Ms. Shirley, who was kicked down by the strong guard and lying on the ground, almost out of breath.

Ms. Shirley looked back blankly.

Through the ruins of the luxurious gate with no bones left, and the completely broken floor-to-ceiling windows, she found that... the beautiful garden she saw when she was carried in had been occupied by countless huge black thorny vines emerging from the ground .

These wildly dancing thorny vines destroyed the garden's delicate scenery, and the men in the courtyard who had kidnapped Lady Shirley were swept into the air and dropped.

Against the backdrop of the complete destruction of the gorgeous courtyard that the Virgil family had maintained for hundreds of years, the man standing at the gate is... a supporter of Mr. Rex, the lord of Tarantan and black magician Yang!

"Mr. Yang!" Ms. Shirley called out weakly. The surprise of her life after the catastrophe made her bear the grievance and anger for a long time, which turned into tears of excitement.

Yang Qiu glanced at Ms. Shirley's bulging left cheek, messy hair and thin indoor uniform, bloody and scratched arm, obvious footprints on the back waist, and waved her hand expressionlessly.

The solid marble floor was broken by ferocious thorny vines, which swung violently and smashed the two guards who were trying to escape to the wall.

The kidnapping plan led by the Baroness Virgil was indeed bold and careful. After kidnapping Ms. Shirley, she was suspicious and left the city hall building in a noisy group, pretending to ask Ms. Shirley to go outside to "mediate" Contradictions", did not make the staff in the service window suspicious.

After that, he took Ms. Shirley around the city to avoid being traced.

It wasn't until Ms. Shirley woke up from a coma and saw the garden of Virgil's house and the street scene of Sapphire Street outside the big iron gate that Yang Qiu found her trace.

Fortunately, the Sunset Boulevard where the City Lord's Mansion is located is not far from Sapphire Street, and Mrs. Virgil, who kidnapped Ms. Shirley, did not intend to kill her directly, but wanted to use her rumored "Rex Lover" status to make a fuss. Yang Only in autumn can we catch up.

Supporting Ms. Shirley who was suppressing her sobs, Yang Qiu stopped the strong wind and looked at Mrs. Virgil surrounded by the terrified maids.

"The Fugil family of Yongwang Land attacked the city hall and kidnapped the important officials of the city hall. This is Yongwang Land's territorial war against the Innad Lillion." Yang Qiu said expressionlessly, "I am the lord of the Innad Lillion following The black mage Yang, the challenge from the Virgil family, the old man accepted it on behalf of Charlie Rex."
