CHAPTER 81: SNOW WHITE IN A DARK FAIRYTALE (9)
Shen Mubai suddenly thought to herself that it was understandable for the former queen to be jealous of Snow White’s beautiful appearance as her looks was really incomparably good. She can’t help but took another look at her, but then her sight was caught with Snow White that stealthily raised her head in a blink of an eye.
Because she was caught in the act, Snow White’s face was smeared with a slight blush, and in a bit of flurry, she lowered her eyes down, her eyelashes repeatedly trembled while she grabbed both sides of her skirt in unease.
“Are you really afraid of me?” the beautiful queen slightly knitted her brows with discontent and sneered, “Am I going to eat you?”
Snow White lifted her head at lightning speed as she nibbled on her dark-red lips, “It’s not
 mother
” Those pair of eyes that looked just like black pearls were covered in a layer of light mist, revealing a cowardly nervous appearance.
The queen, who’s taller by half a head from Snow White, leisurely walked to her front, and with a haughty expression she said, “What?”
Snow White lowered her eyelids and answered in a soft voice, “It’s just, I haven’t seen mother in a long time
”
It was clearly only an ordinary word, but Shen Mubai felt uneasy in a split second. This kind of uneasiness wasn’t awkwardness nor is it embarrassment, rather, it’s a feeling like something that’s sticking and cloying with you.
This kind of feeling passed away in an instant that she thought it was just her illusion, so Shen Mubai didn’t take it to her heart and looked at the timid Snow White in front of her. She worriedly said to the system, “How can I have a good relationship with Snow White?”
System said, “two points.”
Shen Mubai gave up all hope as she thought about her own points, the system couldn’t be used for free anymore.
Shen Mubai said, “System, how about some friendly discount?”
The system suddenly became strictly impartial, “Nope, go away.”
Her gaze held a hidden bitterness as she looked at Snow White, making the young girl’s slender and delicate body swayed a little, the trembles on her eyelashes became more violent. Shen Mubai’s heart felt pity and she used an affectionate tone to talk with system, “I decided. I’m gonna treat her as my own daughter.”
System, “
” is this person with insufficient mental development forget something or what?
The queen character’s design limited Shen Mubai to brazenly showed kindness or be intimate with Snow White. Hence, she instructed the maid waiting on her side, “I’m a bit tired, so I want to eat here today.”
When the maid just wanted to respond, she heard the queen added, “Conveniently, just prepare Snow White’s meal too. There’s this matter about maids too
” Her manner of speaking faintly revealed coldness, “Never let me see this kind of situation again, His Majesty the King won’t be happy with this too.”
The maid was stupefied for a while as she quickly glanced at Snow White as if realizing something. It’s no wonder that because His Majesty returned, the Queen Consort wouldn’t act just like before, not masking her clear detest toward the princess at all. Everything has their own reason ah.
The maid firmly believed that the Queen was only ingratiating herself with the King. She gave an affirmation and withdrew from the room.
Snow White who was still standing at the same place heard this one sentence from the Queen. She revealed a surprised and unease expression, her dark red lips was bitten until it became tender and looked like it was dripping blood.
As if feeling her uneasiness, she thought how Snow White spent her days before. Shen Mubai’s heart felt even more pity towards this thin and frail child.
The young queen looked down at the trembling Snow White, and from her mouth spitted out speech like she was giving a charity, “You can accompany me for a meal today, so as to avoid your father the King saying that I did you wrong too much.”
Snow White abruptly lifted up her head, those pair of inky eyes stared fixedly at the queen.
Shen Mubai was stared silly by her.
Before Shen Mubai recovered from her absent-mindedness, Snow White had already moved her line of vision away as she shyly said under her breath, “Yes, mother
”
