I Married Female Lead's Crush Chapter 34

Su Qing retreated a few steps back, decided to run outside, but Gu Zifu's long legs were one step ahead of her. He pulled the little girl's back collar and effortlessly dragged her back.

"Shuangqiao, Shuangqiao help me!" Su Qing called for help.

"…….." Shuangqiao who was waiting outside, looked up and met with Gu Zifu's cold eyes, feeling the shivered on her spine, she knew the current affairs very well, quickly retreated, but seemed to remember something she came back to close the door and gave Su Qing a meaningful look of 'take care yourself'.

Su Qing's neck tightened, clasped her hand to the collar trying to release the tension, and suddenly she was slammed to the bed, landing on the gadgets that Gu Zifu played with a moment ago.

"Hurts." She cried out in pain. 

Gu Zifu coldly snorted, walked over and with a sweep of his hand, everything on the bed was thrown to the ground and scattered everywhere. He narrowed his eyes slightly, making it difficult to see what he was thinking, "Who told you that I'm in my thirties?"

The corner of her eyes brimming with tears, still feeling the pain from the hard objects, Su Qing was not in the mood to answer him, she turned her head away ignoring him. 

Seeing that she didn't respond, Gu Zifu's expression turned ugly, he bent down and toppled over her, his fingers kneading gently on her waist, and then pinched it heavily. Feeling a sudden pain, Su Qing curled up like a shrimp, struggled to get away from him, but it was useless. Gu Zifu's strength was much stronger than her.

"Say it or not? If you don't say I'll hit you."

Su Qing's mouth was slightly flatten, answered him while sobbing, "No one told me, I guessed it myself….."

"Well, your level of guessing is very bad." Gu Zifu lightly laughed, but didn't loosen his strength. 

After a while, Su Qing felt the pain in her waist was gradually relieved. She sat up, casted a quick glance at Gu Zifu and carefully moved back.

She said in a low voice, "…..Because I saw the way eunuch Changsheng talked to you was very familiar with you, and so was the Prime Minister Chi. I heard that the Seventh Lord had been guarding the border for many years and achieved a lot of military merits.Thinking of this, it would not make sense for you to have friends from different generations. But I didn't dare to guess randomly and could only calculate your ages in secret…."

Gu Zifu almost laughed through his rage because of her comment. 

He stretched out his hand, clenched on her chin and lifted it up slightly to let her look at him. He thought about it and said in a faint tone, "I'm only seven years older than you."

Seven years older?

Su Qing opened her mouth slightly, and looked at him with confusion. 

But the Seventh Lord's overbearing attitude doesn't look like…..

"Tsk, don't use such an expression to look at me, like an idiot." Gu Zifu retracted his hand and gently patted her face a few times. He found that the little girl's skin under his palm was very soft and delicate, feeling very good, and could not help but wanted to pinch more. He saw Su Qing was in a daze, still thinking about it, he smirked, "What's so confusing about this? After killing so many people, it's natural to adapt to it."

By the time Su Qing reacted, she realized what Gu Zifu was doing to her face. Her complexion slightly turned pale and tried to wave his hand away. Her eyes drifted randomly and murmured under her breath, "…..but the Seventh Lord killed so many people, don't you feel afraid at night?"

Gu Zifu frowned, raided his hand and shot at her waist again, "What did you just say?"

Su Qing shrank subconsciously, she hurriedly jumped out of bed and didn't dare to look at him, "Seventh Lord, I remembered Shuangqiao has brought over breakfast, we should hurry go there, otherwise, the food will turn cold and it won't taste delicious." After saying, regardless of whether Gu Zifu heard it or not, she opened the door in panicking and ran out of the room. 

At that moment Gu Li was practicing horse riding pose. This is the basic skill that Gu Zifu assigned him to practice every day. 

When he saw Su Qing run by very fast, he laughed unrestrainedly, "Yo yo! You're running so fast, did you pee your pants last night?"

Su Qing pretended not to hear him.

Seeing that she ignored him, Gu Li grinding his teeth inwardly.

This time Su Qing ate very fast. After she finished her meal she went back to her room. She saw the wood carvings that scattered on the ground have already been rearranged on the table, she didn't know was it Chuntao or Shuangqiao who put them back. Next to the woodcarving, there is a stuffed tiger with a pursed fart with its butt upside down, sitting there alone looking very lonely. 

Su Qing was in a trance, she remembered that Gu Zifu mentioned before at the Old Madam's courtyard that she did make a bone painting fan, but at that time she was too scared and later forgot about it. And the sentence he said just now, what does it mean by " Killing many people, naturally will adapt to it……"

Did the Seventh Lord kill many people before? But who would just kill people randomly.

Su Qing rarely has time caught up with such frustration, but this time somehow, Gu Zifu's words have been lingering in her heart. She looked out of the window and saw Gu Li was still standing under the sun, his legs trembling slightly but his posture was still upright. Her eyes flashed with a light, thinking that Gu Zifu was still having his breakfast, she quickly left the room, walked around the small path and went to look for Ding shi. 

Since the Third Lord was bitten by Da Bai last time and fell into a coma, the Old Madam has handed over all the house management tasks to Ding shi. Gu Family's business is very big, there are several big shops in the capital, which are not easy to manage. When Su Qing came over, Ding shi was busy checking the account books. Once she heard the maid servant report, she was stunned for a moment, closed her account book and hurriedly invited Su Qing in.

Su Qing was taken aback by her warm enthusiastic attitude, and said softly, "Due to the seniority I should address you Elder sister in-law."

"You this child." Ding shi took her to the soft couch and patted her hand, "There is no outsider here, why bother with those unnecessary etiquette. It's just that……"

She paused for a moment and continued, "I heard Chunshao said you rarely stepped out of the Gu Courtyard, what made you come to visit me today? Did Gu Li make you angry again?"

Last time, Gu Li took rattan to frighten Su Qing, she also heard about it. Now only a few days later and there is something happening again? She didn't understand why that child is so resentful against Su Qing.

Su Qing saw Ding shi knitted her eyebrow deeply, knowing that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "No, Young Master didn't do anything. I came here because I wanted to ask the Elder sister-in-law something."

"You?"

Chunsao was serving tea to them. She was also surprised when she heard Su Qing.

"Um," Su Qing lowered her eyes, seeming to feel that it was not appropriate to ask the question so directly. She then asked in a small voice, "Elder sister in law, I want to ask you about the things related to the Seventh Lord's past."

Chunsao and Ding shi were stunned once they heard this, Su Qing could see the shock in their eyes. Ding shi then waved her hand signaled Chunsao to go keep guard outside, "You this child, why are you thinking of asking about the Seventh Lord's matter all of sudden?"

"There are only a few people I know in this Gu Family. Although we are not very close, if you don't tell me, I have no one to ask." Su Qing then told her about what happened this morning.

Especially in the palace hall that day, when she came to think about it again, she felt Gu Zifu not only did not fear when he killed people, but instead was immersed in it with a trace of pleasure, just like….like he was supposed to live in that kind of environment….

Upon hearing her, Ding shi silent for a moment and said, "I know you are kind-hearted, but the Seventh Lord doesn't have anything to offer. Actually, this story happened a long time ago. During his life, the Old Lord liked to spend in drinking and pleasure. He took in concubines one after another. The Seventh Lord is one of them. Later, the Old Lord's official wife died, and the Old Lord was seriously ill, thus the current Old Madam had the opportunity to seize the family property. It's a misfortune that the Seventh Lord was born at a bad time. For more detail I also don't know much about it. Although the Old Madam is my mother-in-law in name, but since you asked, I will tell everything I know."

Su Qing took a deep breath and listened carefully. 

"Under such circumstances, it's conceivable that the Seventh Lord has never been disciplined, no one restrained, or taught him to distinguish right from wrong, and just learned how to survive in that kind of environment. Later, the things he did are only based on his own play preferences. You spent time with the Seventh Lord, I'm sure you can probably figure out some of his personally. Little tenth, you grew up in the palace. Some matters I don't need to say clearly. To be honest, the Seventh Lord is also pitiful. I can see that his attitude towards you is different from others. I hope you can care a little about him. But it doesn't mean that you will have to resign yourself to everything without any oppression. This matter has nothing to do with love, it is just a fate between two people. People always need someone to rely on, so don't let yourself get too muddy, and look ahead….."

Su Qing interrupted her, "What about the bone painting fan that Seventh said….."

Ding shi sighed, raised her hand to rubbed her brows, seemed to be reluctant to talk about it, "It's true—— that woman is one of the concubines in the Gu Family. The Seventh witnessed her kill his mother, and personally took revenge. At that time he was only ten years old."

Ten years old?

Ding shi said a lot of things afterward, but Su Qing didn't remember it.

On the way back to Gu Courtyard, Su Qing rubbed her wrist secretly. There was a trace of perplexity in her eyes.

Her brain was empty…..

Should she consider herself lucky that Gu Zifu showed mercy to her? But she simply felt……

"Clang——" Su Qing reacted to the noise.

Looking up, she saw Gu Li holding a silver halberd in his hand and giving her a death stare while gasping for breath, "Hey, what were you thinking? If this young master didn't retract it on time, you would be hanging high on the wall now!"

Su Qing simply said "Oh" paid no heed to him and walked passed him into the room.

Gu Zifu looked at her back and cursed a few swears before continuing waving his silver halberd up and down again.

Gu Zifu was still in her room.

When she went in, she saw Gu Zifu was leaning on the bed lazily, reading a book in his hand full of interest.

Su Qing looked at him in a daze, she then sat next to the bed and slightly pulled the corner of his sleeve. She asked softly, "Seventh Lord, If i'm good to you, will you be good to me?"

"Huh?' Gu Zifu raised his eyes, and reached out to feel her forehead, retracted his hand and looked at her doubtfully, "No fever?"

As Su Qing was going to open her mouth to say something, Gu Zifu suddenly pulled her wrist and put the book in her hand, his slender finger pointed at the dense line in the book and asked, "You look at this, what does consummate marriage mean?"
