The live fortune telling is so accurate that the whole network is waiting to watch.

As the words fell, the stepmother had already rushed in with a group of servants. Seeing the little girl in the house, the stepmother was stunned: "Leah, why are you here?"

The little girl named Leah said anxiously: "My brother was bitten by a rat and he keeps crying. Call a doctor!"

"What?" The stepmother's face changed drastically, and she hurried over to check on the child. As expected, she saw a wound on the child's little toe, which was bleeding. The child was crying in pain, and his face was red.

The stepmother glared angrily at the two maids who were taking care of the children.

The two maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Fearing that he would be beaten to death, one of them suddenly pointed at the little girl and said, "The mouse must have been brought in by Miss Leah. She said last time that the Madam abused her, so she wanted to take revenge on the young master!"

Another maid also said quickly: "Yes, yes! She did say that, I can testify to it!"

Leah was angry and anxious: "You are talking nonsense! I never said anything like that, let alone brought the mouse in. I just heard my brother crying, so I rushed over to check, and saw the mouse crawling into my brother's cradle, I..."

"Pa!" A slap hit Leah's face hard.

The stepmother would rather believe the two maids than her stepdaughter Leah.

"You little bitch, you really should die with your biological mother! How dare you harm my son? I will beat you to death!"

While scolding, she grabbed Leah's long hair and beat her hard.

The little girl was crying, and the baby in the cradle was crying too...

Yu Beiming and Sang Feiwan witnessed all this, both remained silent, unable to change anything.

Henry couldn't bear to see it and couldn't help shouting, "It was Leah who saved her brother, otherwise the child's feet would have been eaten by rats! How could you hit her? Stop, stop now, you hit her face so hard!"

Unfortunately, those people couldn't hear what he said, nor could they see the bystanders.

Henry was so angry that he even wanted to push the vicious woman away, but everything in reality seemed like a projection, empty and untouchable.

The scene changed from the magnificent castle to the desolate street.

A thinly dressed girl was walking on the muddy road.

She looked up at the dark and depressing sky. Snowflakes were floating down from the sky, and soon white snow was falling on the girl's head.

While the count was away from home, the stepmother drove Leah out of the castle on the grounds that she had hurt her brother.

But in this era, it was very difficult for adults to survive, let alone a child? She walked along the way and saw several bodies that had been killed by hunger and cold.

Perhaps soon she would also fall to the ground and never get up again.

"Miss Leah?" A ragged boy with gray cheeks discovered the girl.

He was a little happy at first, but soon he was full of doubts, "Miss Leah, why are you here alone?"

Leia looked at the boy and saw that he was about her age, with tattered clothes and a face so dark that her facial features were almost invisible.

"who are you?"

"Miss Leah, you probably don't remember me, but I will always remember you. Three years ago, you inspected the mines with the Count and the Lady. I was young at the time and made a mistake. I was almost whipped to death, but you were so kind that you saved me."

"Ah, I remember now! My mother was still alive at that time. She often went to the mines with my father, and sometimes took me with her. Are you the Lei who always played with me and caught crickets for me? Sorry, I didn't recognize you."

"It's okay, it's okay! Miss Leah, have you been okay these years?" Lei looked at the girl's clothes and was puzzled. "How did you become like this?"

Leah lowered her head, tears in her eyes: "My mother died, and my father married a new wife. That woman didn't like me and drove me out. I was homeless, cold and hungry, and I didn't know what to do..."

"Don't cry, dear Miss Leah. If you don't mind, you can stay in my house temporarily. Although the environment there is not very good, at least you can avoid the wind and snow. I can also give you my bread - although it is not very delicious, not as good as the delicious food you had before."

In this way, the little girl lived in Lei's house.

There are many small miners like Lei in Lei's family. They are all orphans and make a living by mining.

Because the mine is small, children have a height advantage and the wages are cheap, so there are many such children in the mine.

Although they were dirty, poor and miserable, everyone was very friendly.

They praised Leah for her beauty and generously shared their food.

In this way, Leah lived with these small miners.

During the day, Lei and his friends went out to work, and the girl helped them with housework at home.

Although life is poor, it is still happy.

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The little girl has grown into a graceful young lady, and Lei has also grown tall and thin with handsome features.

The young boys and girls who are just beginning to fall in love, and who have grown up together as childhood sweethearts, naturally develop different kinds of feelings.

One day, Leah's father suddenly appeared and wanted to take her back to the castle.

At first, Leah was reluctant to leave, so her father took out a sapphire necklace and handed it to her:

"This is what your mother left for you. She would be very sad if she knew you became like this. My daughter, I am sorry that you have suffered. I have been away from home for these years and have not been able to take good care of you. Can you forgive your father?"

He put the necklace around Leah's neck with his own hands and smiled kindly: "Come back with me, your father will not let you suffer anymore."

Leia stroked the luxurious necklace and thought of her deceased mother and the happy scenes when her family lived together in the past.

In the end, she softened her heart and agreed to go back with her father.

Before leaving, she said goodbye to her friends one by one and took money and food from her father and distributed them to them.

She also wanted her father to bring Lei back to the castle.

But she waited for a long time, from dawn to dusk, but there was no thunder.

Under her father's constant urging, she had no choice but to ask someone to leave a message for Lei and then boarded the carriage home.

When she looked back for the last time, she wished she could see Lei appear.

But she only saw low houses, chaotic crowds, and muddy roads, but no sign of him.

Only after she had gone far away did Lei come out from the corner and look at the team going away. He wanted to chase after them and tell her, "I've always been here."

But he can't.

She was born a rich lady in a castle, but accidentally ended up among the common people.

And he was just a lowly and dirty miner.

Nobility and common people are two parallel lines that will never intersect. Even if they meet by chance, they are destined not to be together.

Why bother wasting her life?
