The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 39

About half of what Chishao said was true. Since childhood, they were raised in the Seven Star Hall. They were never treated as humans growing up, because in that place, only the cold-blooded ones could survive. And it was also because of such that they were able to leave that place.

Shadow guards like them had no self-awareness. In their eyes, their master's life was above everything. Even if their master wanted them to die, they would not hesitate.

But now Qingyan was treating them like family, or rather you could say she didn't treat them as servants.

Although this bit was different from Murong Jingxuan, still, whenever they were in trouble, Murong Jingxuan would still come save them.

Perhaps this was the reason why his Highness was interested in this girl.

Fengqing looked the at pastry in his hand and slowly began to eat it. Ever since he was small, he'd suffered many hardships. Yet, never had he experienced something like this moment, where he could leisurely enjoy delicious pasties.

Perhaps, staying at the Su manor wasn't a bad choice after all. If one day he were to tell the others, they'd probably be envious as well.

"Fengqing, do you still remember what I'd said before?" From the air Qingyan's voice rang.

"I remember." Fengqing smiled as he heard this voice.

"That's good. You have to know, you all are people, not tools. If you stay here with me, naturally, I won't treat you poorly."

"Thank you miss."

When Qingyan heard this, she stared at the pastries in the container with her hand resting on her chin. She thought of in the past, when Weisheng Junmo wanted to eat pastries, she would always make all kinds of pastries for him to eat. That simple yet fulfilling life, she was no longer able to return to.

"Miss, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing Zizhu's voice, Qingyan smiled and said, "Thinking about how I have to go to school tomorrow. I can't help but to feel a bit troubled."

Hearing Qingyan's listless words, Zizhu disappointedly added, "But miss, you finished all the assigned homework from those teachers so well already!"

"But even so, I still don't want to go!" Qingyan helplessly shrugged her shoulders, "Probably because I feel those materials are too simple."

"Miss, on the 15th of next month, the talent conference will begin. This year, our miss definitely won't be laughed at by those people." Baizhi earnestly said as she looked to Qingyan.

In their eyes, in the previous years' talent conferences, Su Qingyan was always the bottom one. Most importantly, not only was she last, but every time she would also become the laughing stock of the entire conference.

And the second house and third house madams not only didn't help her out, they instead laughed at their young miss along with the crowd.

But they knew that Qingyan was different now, that's why they inevitably began to look forward to the conference this time.

"Miss, for this year's conference, what do you plan on performing?" Huangcen excitedly looked to Qingyan, "I suddenly feel really excited for miss's performance this year."

"Me too!" Lue look to Qingyan with admiration, "Ever since miss woke from almost drowning, miss has entirely changed. That's why, this year's talent conference will definitely become a focal point."
