The next day, the demon girl went to practice stalls as usual.
I only knew how to draw ink and wash, but halfway through, the Miss Wei whom I saw before appeared again.
She was still wearing a long skirt in full swing with a light veil on the outside, looking more elegant and charming than in previous days.
"How much does this painting cost?" The speaker was the maid behind her. Her attitude was neither good nor bad, but there was a hint of deep meaning in her eyes as she looked at the Demon Mother.
The Demon Lady looked at her and chuckled: "Ten taels of silver."
"Pretend it up." It was the Miss Wei who spoke this time. Her chin was slightly raised, without any disdain, as if this was her natural personality.
The demon girl hummed and remembered Qu Luo's words before.
This person does look more imaginary than myself at certain times.
It’s just that over the years, I have become much more restrained and tactful.
Sometimes when I think about it again, I feel surprised.
Such a temper that offends others is not ostracized.
Later she found out that it was all because her surname was Mo. Once the Mo family was defeated, it would be nothing more than that...
The demon girl curled her lips and smiled, then stretched out her hand to roll up the painting.
The maid suddenly smiled: "Miss, what do you want these paintings for? Those famous paintings that Master Luo gave you are the ones that are good."
The hand holding the scroll became stiff.
The maid also saw her actions, and her smile did not diminish: "Miss, will Mr. Luo come over again tonight? He likes spicy food. I will tell the kitchen to cook more spicy dishes when I get back."
"Just do something casually." Miss Wei's smile was more arrogant: "He is just too spoiled by others, so he can't be so particular."
As she said that, she raised her eyes and met the Demon Lady's gaze specifically.
There was a slight hint of provocation in that look.
When he took the scroll, his provocation became even more obvious, with a slight chuckle: "It's just like this, I thought she was such a powerful woman."
The Demon Girl didn't even pause her movements, her smile remained the same, but she had no intention of chatting with Miss Wei. She handed over the painting and collected the money, her expression as usual.
The master and servant of the Wei family didn't say anything more, they seemed to just want to come over and take a look at the Demon Lady.
However, at night, the Demon Lady actually received a message from the Qu Mansion. It was someone sent by Mrs. Qu, saying that he wanted to meet her.
The Demon Lady changed out of her sweaty clothes before following the young man into the Qu Mansion. Since it was evening and there was a banquet in the Qu Mansion, there were a lot of carriages coming and going.
It seemed like carriages from the entire capital had arrived. Each of those carriages was indescribably luxurious. They were parked in rows outside the house. The tall locust trees formed a natural carriage shed, which was both grand and luxurious.
There was nothing unnatural about the Demon Lady walking in the middle, and few people coming and going would notice her.
The boy took her all the way without any hindrance. When he walked around the corridor, he heard several young masters talking, and the target of the conversation was still her.
One of the Chinese young men was leaning on the corridor with a smile on his face: "It seems that Mr. Luo's enthusiasm for the eldest lady of the Demon Family has almost faded?"
"It must be almost the same. Don't you know how much Mr. Luo pays attention to the sister of the Wei family these days?" Another young master sneered: "Why do you think Mr. Luo looks at that member of the Demon family differently? Isn't it because of that?
Mr. Luo lost to her several times a long time ago, otherwise who would want a woman who has been in prison..."
Before the young master finished speaking, the people around him started laughing, and the meaning was self-evident...
That's how it is in this circle, it doesn't mean that you are not sincere, it's just that relationships don't last long.
Everyone knows how young Master Qu is. He has never been interested in any woman for more than a month.
It's just that in the past three months, Young Master Qu seems to be much better behaved than before. He is rarely seen at the wine table. He is also missing from the gatherings of young masters in the past. He doesn't know where he has gone every day.
When someone who was close to him asked him, he just said with a half-smile: "Selling paintings to support the family."
People thought he suddenly changed his gender, but within a few days, a girl from the Wei family appeared...
"However, looking at the way the eldest lady of the Demon family looks like now, I thought it would be difficult to get close to her, but I didn't expect that I could take down Mr. Luo so quickly." The Chinese young master who was leaning on the corridor looked a little lazy:
"This is boring."
Someone laughed and said, "You knew she was captured by Mr. Luo?"
"It's not nonsense. If Master Luo hadn't taken care of the person, the enthusiasm wouldn't have faded so quickly. What's so rare about the things we've already caught?"
In an instant, the demon girl felt that her hands and feet were getting cold.
Then, she laughed, but her eyes were empty...
The leading boy looked at her strangely and walked around another garden before arriving at an endless bamboo forest.
There is an ancient octagonal pavilion standing in the emerald green bamboo forest. There is only one person sitting in the pavilion. That person is none other than the matron of the Qu family and Qu Luo's biological mother... Nalan Hongye.
She was already very impressive when she was a girl, not to mention that now she supports the entire Qu family's backyard.
She was dressed very simply, wearing a long linen skirt that looked very thin. Her elegance and beauty made her look nothing like a mother of several children.
Her wrists are very white and thin, and she wears an emerald white jade bracelet, which is exposed from her sleeves when making tea, which further highlights the temperament of her famous family.
When she saw the Demon Girl, she raised her eyes and motioned for her to sit down.
It was not like what was written in the novel, where the evil mother-in-law threw a lot of money to make the devil girl leave.
Nalan Hongye was like an older generation talking to a younger generation, chatting casually, with the curvature of the corners of his mouth always kept perfect.
At that moment, the Demon Lady finally understood why Qu Luo never seemed to be perfunctory when he smiled.
Because he is so similar to his mother.
Born in such a family, laughter seems to have become a necessary social skill...
Nalan Hongye put down the teacup: "Qu Luo, this child, has been like this since he was a child. Whenever he likes something, he has to find a way to get it. Once he gets it, he will throw it away soon. I often have a headache about this matter, and
His pursuit of victory is beyond the imagination of most people, including you..." After saying that, she stood up and patted the back of the Demon Girl's hand. She had made it clear enough that the Demon Girl should understand.
…
The Demon Lady naturally understands that she has grown up in this circle since she was a child. Everyone knows who will marry whom and who will marry whom, and they will try their best to choose the one that suits their status...
