"Young lady, this is fate, don't struggle," the butler advised Zhao Dani.

Zhao Dani couldn't bear to hear those words. How could her father abandon her? She had already decided to live with him from now on. Now that her mother was getting married and her father didn't want her anymore, she was superfluous!

Zhao Dani felt like the whole world had abandoned her, and she was heartbroken.

The more they break down, the more fiercely they struggle!

"You brat, you won't listen to reason, will you?"

Seeing that Zhao Dani was disobedient and still struggling to run away, the housekeeper couldn't stand it anymore and slapped her across the face.

This immediately subdued Da Ni, who allowed the maids and servants to push her into the bathtub to wash and rinse her, and to dress her in beautiful silk clothes that she had never worn in her life.

Looking at her adorable reflection in the bronze mirror, her heart sank to the bottom.

She didn't know what would happen next, but her gut feeling told her it wouldn't be anything good.

She was really scared and regretful.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Zhao Dani was finally dressed up by the maids and servants. When she looked in the mirror, she felt something was off. It was quite strange that someone so young was dressed up in such a flamboyant and seductive way.

"Girl, this is your fate. Don't struggle. You have to accept your fate," the butler said to her as a final word.

Zhao Dani both feared and hated this housekeeper. They appeared harmonious on the surface, but only Zhao Dani knew how hard she had really hit him.

Zhao Dani looked at her rather revealing silk and satin clothes, feeling somewhat at a loss. But she still asked curiously, "Did my father sell me here to be a maid?"

Looking into Zhao Dani's innocent eyes, the butler gazed at the sky and said, "I suppose so. You'll find out tonight." What a disaster!

Zhao Dani wondered, "Are maids treated this well? Someone bathes and dresses them up, and someone even makes them look good. How can they work dressed like this?"

But she didn't ask, and obediently lowered her head. She could tell that the housekeeper didn't want to talk to her.

The housekeeper led Zhao Dani to a magnificent bedroom: the bed was very soft, the tables and chairs were made of fine cork, and there were ancient paintings and calligraphy on the wall that she could not understand. Having just learned to read, she only thought the paintings were very beautiful, but she did not recognize the characters.

"Girl, sit here and wait. Master will be back tonight, and you will serve him then."

Zhao Dani didn't understand what "serving" meant, thinking it might mean bringing tea and water and taking care of her. She stood there obediently and nodded.

She wanted to go back to her mother. No matter how good this place was, she didn't want to stay. She had a vague feeling that something terrible was going to happen.

But she knew she couldn't go back now, so she could only be obedient, hoping her mother would find her.

Once she returns to her mother's side, she will definitely listen to her. Deep down, she knows her mother doesn't like her father and doesn't want to live with him, but she can't shake the feeling that maybe it's possible; she should at least try.

She knew that what she was doing was putting her mother in a difficult position, and she felt that she had let her mother down.

At the same time, she felt very sad, never expecting her father to be so cruel as to sell her here. Her heart died.

Zhao Dani's legs were numb from standing, but she didn't dare to sit down or touch anything. She just stood there quietly waiting, thinking that she might be able to plead with the old man when he returned.

She believed she would encounter a kind-hearted benefactor who would release her, even if it meant letting her go back to her mother to get money to ransom her. She firmly believed her mother would come.

"Hmm," Zhao Dani thought to herself, stretching her arms and legs. She began to look forward to it.

"Master is back, and everyone has been settled in the room." Hearing the butler's voice at the door, Zhao Dani quickly perked up.

The person who opened the door was a fat, bloated man named Sun Youde. The way he looked at Zhao Dani made her tremble with fear.

But she gritted her teeth and stepped forward: "Sir, I was tricked into coming here by my father. Please let me go, or let me go back to Zhao Da Village to get money from my mother to redeem me."

“Of course, no problem. Just serve me well tonight, and everything else will be fine,” Sun Youde said meaningfully.

But Zhao Dani didn't understand and nodded blankly, "Don't worry, sir, I've always been very good. I will take good care of you tonight."

"Good girl." Sun Youde touched Zhao Dani's face. Zhao Dani shuddered and was about to dodge when she was suddenly picked up and thrown onto the bed.

Zhao Dani became frightened: "What do you want to do?"

"Of course I'll make you serve me well," Sun Youde said with a smile as he pounced on her.

Zhao Dani was terrified and quickly dodged away. She jumped off the bed and ran around the table in the room.

"You naughty girl, if you behave well, Grandpa will love you!" Sun Youde was getting a little tired from chasing after her.

Zhao Dani ran to the door to open it, only to find it locked. At that moment, Sun Youde grabbed her and pinned her to the ground.

"Looks docile but is actually a little wildcat. Likes to play on the ground, right?" Sun Youde forcefully tore open the already flimsy clothes.

Zhao Dani was terrified; she felt a sudden warmth in her lower body and realized she had urinated.

Sun Youde didn't mind, his hands never stopping. Seeing Zhao Dani's terrified eyes only made him more excited.

Zhao Dani was in despair and terrified.

Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open. Sun Youde was kicked away, his head hitting the bedside, and he passed out!

Zhao Dani was picked up.

Dani was terrified. She waved her fists and yelled, "Let me go! Let me go!"

Mo Bei felt a pang of sympathy for Da Ni when he saw her like this. He quickly said, "Da Ni, it's Uncle Mo, don't be afraid."

Da Ni saw the familiar face in front of her and burst into tears, throwing herself into Mo Bei's arms.

"Uncle Mo, I'm so scared! Waaah, waaah, waaah!"

Mo Bei felt sorry for her, but this was not a place to stay for long, so he picked up Zhao Dani and ran away.

As Da Ni was being led out of town, she ran right into Li Rou Niang, who was also running towards them.

"Da Ni!" Li Rou Niang rushed over to the child in Mo Bei's arms. Looking at Da Ni's attire, her heart sank.

"Mother, I'm so scared." Da Ni threw herself into Li Rou Niang's arms and burst into tears.

"Don't be afraid, Dani, Mom is here. It's all over now, it's all over now."

Mo Bei carried Da Ni, and the three of them walked back. Li Rou Niang subtly inquired about what had happened to Da Ni, and only then did she feel relieved, as it was a close call!

"Da Ni!"

As luck would have it, he ran into Zhao Dayou, who was being held down by Zhao Youtian and two villagers. At that moment, he was sober, his arm hurt, but his heart ached even more!

He regretted it, he really regretted it!

Seeing Da Ni being held while wearing Mo Bei's coat, his heart ached, but thankfully, she was alive.

Zhao Dani glanced at Zhao Dayou, but instead of running over with a smile as usual, she turned her head away as if she didn't recognize him. In her heart, her father was already dead!

"Da Ni, I'm so sorry, Da Ni, Dad was wrong, please forgive me!" Zhao Dayou was somewhat agitated, and was pushed past by Zhao Youtian and the others.

After a long silence, when they arrived at their doorstep, Dani suddenly said, "Mom, I'm so happy that Uncle Mo will be my new dad."
