NCCnovel Chapter 400 Candlelight
Chapter 400 Candlelight
The sun set unknowingly, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on Qingtong who was sitting by the window weaving brocade.
The girl put down her nimble little hands weaving brocade and stretched her body.
She had been sitting here weaving brocade all day, without any slacking off or feeling tired.
In the past, she wove brocade mainly to complete the task assigned by the Poison Lady and to avoid being beaten or scolded.
Now, even if she didn't weave brocade, Master Su would not scold or beat her.
But now, even though no one urged her and no one cared about it, Qingtong worked even harder to weave the brocade.
Qingtong herself didn't understand why she suddenly became so motivated. In the past, every time she weaved, she felt very tired and just repeated the work numbly. But now, she felt very happy when weaving, as if she liked it this way. Even if her body was tired after weaving for a whole day, her heart was very happy.
Qingtong didn't understand why this happened, but she just felt that now she was living for herself.
"Da da……"
There was a gentle knock on the door.
Qingtong rubbed her cheeks and immediately took small steps to open the door.
"Grandma..."
Seeing the person knocking on the door, Qingtong immediately called out kindly.
"Miss Qingtong, it's time to eat!"
The old woman also smiled. She felt quite sympathetic towards this monster who had lived a miserable life since childhood.
Although some monsters are very bad, as my uncle said, some monsters are also kind to humans. Although some monsters are very hateful and cruel, we cannot implicate the entire monster group because of a few monsters. We must look at it dialectically and not generalize.
These were all told to her by her son after he came back from school. She didn't quite understand many of them, but she felt that what her son-in-law said must be very reasonable and must be right.
"Uh-huh."
Qingtong nodded and took the old woman's plate very obediently. This old lady was the maid from Shenhuoshan Villa who was arranged by Master Su to give her a bath on the first day he met Master Su.
Qingtong put the plate on the table, but did not eat immediately. Instead, she chatted with the old lady.
She knew that the old lady had a child, and heard that the child was very well behaved and had now been accepted as a student by Mr. Su.
Qingtong was very envious of this and hoped that one day she could also listen to Mr. Su’s lectures like the old grandmother’s children.
Now, when she chatted with the old lady, her favorite thing was to praise the old lady's children, because in this way, the old lady could talk more about the school and more news about Mr. Su.
Qingtong heard a lot of news about Young Master Su. She heard that he had made many changes to Shenhuoshan Villa, and that changes were happening every day. She also heard that some of the older generation of Shenhuoshan Villa were very dissatisfied with this. Sometimes she was worried about Young Master Su, but when she heard that the old owner of the villa was very supportive of Young Master Su, she felt very happy because she knew that the old owner was very powerful and was the leader of the Taoist Alliance. Qingtong didn't know how powerful the leader of the Taoist Alliance was, but she knew that the other party was probably much more powerful than her previous master, Poison Lady. With the support of the old owner, Young Master Su would definitely be fine. What's more, in Qingtong's heart, Young Master Su himself was a very powerful person.
Qingtong felt very happy chatting with the old lady and getting more information about Mr. Su.
"Oh, I almost forgot, I have something to give you."
The old woman slapped her head, as if she suddenly thought of something.
Qingtong looked at the old lady with her eyes wide open.
"This is something that my son-in-law asked someone to customize. It's for Miss Qingtong."
The old woman said with a smile.
Qingtong also stood up happily immediately, looking at the old lady with anticipation.
Soon, the old woman took out a crystal pendant from her pocket. There was a small nameplate made of crystal on the pendant, and there was a faint fluctuation of some magic power.
It seems to be a magic weapon.
"This is the nameplate that my uncle asked me to give you."
The old woman smiled and handed over the pendant.
Qingtong happily took it and held it almost in the palm of her hand. She looked at the pendant with her beautiful eyes, turning it over and over, and saw the small words "Exclusive for Su Mu" engraved on the pendant.
"So Mr. Su's name is Su Mu."
Qingtong thought in her heart, and gently stroked the pendant with the palm of her hand. The slightly cool texture made Qingtong feel as if Master Su was gently caressing her.
The girl's face suddenly turned slightly red, and her fair skin looked rosy as if she had drunk alcohol.
Qingtong put on the pendant with great care. Looking at the crystal of the pendant hanging in front of her chest, the girl straightened her chest unconsciously.
"hey-hey……"
Qingtong couldn't help but laugh foolishly: "From now on, I will be Mr. Su's demon. From now on, if anyone bullies me, I will show my cards."
Beside, the old woman looked at Qingtong and couldn't help but smile.
…………
After sending the old lady away, Qingtong almost jumped onto the bed and rolled around excitedly.
From today on, she is Mr. Su's exclusive domestic demon, no longer a wild demon, and she feels really happy.
The girl kept touching the pendant on her chest, and she was especially happy when she saw the words "Su Mu's exclusive house demon" engraved on the pendant.
For Qingtong, this pendant is not just a pendant, but also a recognition of her identity.
Before, she had always been worried, fearing that one day she would be expelled from Shenhuoshan Villa and abandoned for no reason.
But now, with this nameplate, it means that her identity has been confirmed.
Her hand gently stroked the pendant. Although it felt cold, a warm sense of security lingered in her heart. The relationship with Young Master Su made Qingtong feel a little relieved.
………………
The sunset has completely fallen, and the light has faded
The earth fell into darkness.
After Dongfang Huaizhu finished dealing with the affairs of the villa, she rushed home. Her husband's recent reforms to the villa had brought too much trouble, and she didn't even quite understand many of them. But as her husband's wife, she had to support him even if she didn't understand.
If a wife does not support her husband, then who will support him?
However, there were too many troubles, and even with my father's support, I still encountered many obstacles.
All she could do was try her best to help her husband.
In most cases, her husband would accompany her to deal with it, but he has been too busy recently, and her husband has to personally instruct a new group of people today. These people are mountain people, poor people, and even slaves who came from all over the place. These people are all young and have great talents. Her husband needs to go there himself and cannot accompany her.
She knew that her husband was planning to teach personally and start training a new group of people...
While thinking about things, I soon arrived home.
The lights in the room were swaying, but today's lights were different from usual. They were colorful and particularly beautiful.
Dongfang Huaizhu pursed her lips slightly, not knowing what her husband was planning, and then gently pushed open the door.
On the table, there was a sumptuous meal and two glasses of wine.
The flickering candlelight of various colors shone in the room, bringing a unique romantic atmosphere, which made Dongfang Huaizhu's heart ripple slightly. It seemed that the fatigue of the day was relieved a lot at this moment.
However, Dongfang Huaizhu soon noticed a small box on the table. The box was closed. She didn't know what was inside. It seemed very mysterious, and she didn't know what her husband was up to.
