Chapter 1224: The Mysterious Castle
The many maids were all very disciplined. They did not even raise their heads carelessly.
While the security guards of Rose Castle were strict, the maids were all quite lively. The maids here were all so disciplined that little Tong Hua felt that his waist was straightened. He did not dare to jump around and had to constantly be on alert to act like a handsome man.
“Thank you, Miss Shen.”
Butler Luther gave Tong Hua a benevolent smile. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. Tong Hua was so fair-skinned and beautiful, and in Butler Luther’s eyes, he was as cute as Ye Ling’s younger self. As long as he was Master’s descendant, he would like him no matter how he looked.
“Nice to meet you, little master. It’s the first time we meet each other. You can call me Grandpa Luther.”
Tong Hua’s manners were impeccable, and he bowed slightly. “Nice to meet you, Grandpa Luther. My name is Tong Hua. You can call me by my name directly.”
“That will not do. Young Master is Young Master.”
The row of people dressed in tuxedos and maid costumes behind him all bowed respectively one by one and were extremely polite. Butler Luther invited them in. Shen Qianshu’s footsteps were slightly heavy as she walked into this familiar castle a step at a time.
Tong Hua was already seven.
This castle still remained unchanged.
Every blade of grass and every tree were all familiar. She had once counted the cobbles of the castle’s blue-stone path step by step. Every plant had blossomed into flowers, and their fragrance circled the entire castle.
Under the radiation of the bright sun, the ancient castle was covered in a layer of golden light. However, this did not give her any feelings of warmth. Ye Ling kept paying attention to Shen Qianshu’s expressions and held her hand tighter.
Shen Qianshu lifted her head and smiled as the two of them walked into the castle.
The castle’s living room was unchanged.
Seven years had passed. It was unclear how Luther even preserved the place. Suddenly, Shen Qianshu thought of how she often sat on the sofa listening to Ye Ling’s weird stories and how she consulted Ye Ling about some knowledge regarding jewelry. Sometimes, they did nothing, and Ye Ling laid on her lap as she massaged him. They could pass an entire afternoon by calmly.
Zhong Ran and Ah Da were very familiar with the Rose Castle and had already brought Tong Hua to explore it. Although the Rose Castle in City A was quite similar, it was still vastly different. This was an old castle with hundreds of years of history. There once lived a very prominent family whose generations all lived in these premises. Afterward, they sold this ancestral place, and Butler Luther had bought this entire land over, reconstructing it into Rose Castle.
Even though it was a reconstruction, a lot of the main architectural body remained unchanged.
Shen Qianshu’s adaptability was relatively good, and after experiencing the Black Rose’s selection, her state of mind and vision had all changed. She soon threw those unsettling feelings behind her.
“I want to go to a place. You…” Ye Ling started to speak.
Shen Qianshu smiled. “Just go. I want to sleep for a while. I’m a bit tired.”
“Alright!”
Butler Luther followed Ye Ling outside the door and asked, “Do you want me to call Young Master along?”
“There’s no need to do so!”
Butler Luther drove Ye Ling away in the car.
Shen Qianshu slept for the entire afternoon. Tong Hua had excessive energy left, and without Butler Luther around, he was already playing around with Zhong Ran and Ah Da. He was having the time of his life, and Shen Qianshu did not stop him.
She gave Lin Xiaojuan a call.
“Xiaojuan, are you shopping with Sixth Brother?”
Lin Xiaojuan’s voice had a childlike excitement to it. “We came out to have afternoon tea after settling down at the hotel. Paris is simply too beautiful, and Gu Xie does not even need to wear his sunglasses or hats. Although there were occasionally some people who came over for an autograph, it did not cause a commotion at all. This feeling is amazing. Under the sunlight, lazing around, with the fragrance of cake and coffee everywhere, seeing intimate couples everywhere. What a romantic and warm place.”
