I Married Female Lead's Crush Chapter 44

The room was room silent, only the flickering candlelight dancing in the air. Su Qing looked up at the lamp and saw that it was going to burn out. She had originally wanted to get out of bed and called out Chuntao or Shuangqiao outside to add oil in the lamp, but when she met with the pair of eyes opposite her made her heart tighten.

Like?

If these words came from the mouth of a noble gentleman, it may move a lot of young girls's hearts. But when it came from the Seventh Lord's mouth, beside surprise, it's clearly terrified. 

Su Qing raised her hand to wipe off the tears on her small face, and asked in a low voice, "….Seventh Lord, do you know what love is?"

"Huh?" Gu Zifu sat crossed legs with one hand supporting his head and answered with seriousness, "Know, it means want to sleep with you."

"……" Su Qing bit her lower lip.

"Seventh Lord, can you talk decently?"

Gu Zifu chuckled lightly, "Of course, I'm talking decently, but I don't know what Qing Qing is thinking about."

"You!" Su Qing anxious.

Gu Zifu Rao stared at her upset face with interest for a long time, he then slowly reached out his hand to grab her wrist , gently rubbing it. 

Su Qing felt goosebumps all over her body, wanted to retract her hand, but he pressed it even tighter, hurting Su Qing.

"However, who allowed you to climb the wall in the middle of the night?" Dare to run away under my nose, your courage is not small."

Su Qing became tense all of sudden, and said with a cute obedient voice, "Seventh Lord, you said it before….."

"Oh, did I say something?" Gu Zifu stared at her momentarily, with a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth. His black ink-like eyes looking bottomless, unable to tell what he was thinking.

Si Qing was startled, wanting to escape, but forgot her hand was still firmly held by him, she was dragged back fiercely and thrown to the bed.

"Tsk, where are you running? You've had a good time outside these days. Met with Tang Ruyan privately in the teahouse, stayed there for almost an hour, not only that, giving him money to open the restaurant. You have done a lot of things, you are really bold now." Gu Zifu smiled brightly yet his eyes were very cold.

 This remark surprised Su Qing.

Indeed, she had a good time recently, and forgot what kind of person Gu Zifu originally was. He's the great general of the Northern border, the tyrannical Seventh Lord of Gu Family.

"…..it turns out Seventh Lord, you knew everything….." She opened her mouth and her face was wet with tears.

——so what is the point of her being so careful and secretive these days?

Gu Zifu was about to say something more, suddenly felt his neckline tightened, he saw the little girl's face covered in tears, as her hand tightly grabbed his collar. Half kneeling in front of him and saying with gritting teeth, "…..Since you know everything, why did you have to make fun of me again and again? Having people keep an eye on me all the time. Yes, you're the admirable Seventh Lord of Gu Family, even the crown prince and senior consort also have to rely on you.  As me, just an unfavourable princess, who has nothing besides having a useless title."

"Gu Zifu, I'm also a person, with flesh and blood. With or without you, whether I'm in Gu courtyard or not, I have to think of a way to live in the capital. But how could you, how could you see me as a joke like this….."

Su Qing let go of her hand and sat back on the bed, big drops of tears flew like rain. Every word of hers stuck in Gu Zifu's heart. 

"You don't know what love is. You don't know how to treat people well. Only know to play every day. Seventh Lord, besides playing, what else….."

Gu Zifu's face turned darkened with dark gloomy eyes. His cold fingers caressed the little girl's quivering lips, and said, "By nature, I am a slaughterer, why learned from those sages to do good deeds. If I had known things would turn out this way, I should've killed you and made you into a fan on the first day you entered the Gu Mansion. It would also save me from hearing these annoying words."

Finished saying, his big hand slowly moved to grab Su Qing's neck and squeezed it tightly.

Su Qing coughed violently, her breath became weaker and her face flushed due to lack of oxygen. 

"….let, let go….."

Gu Zifu seemed not to hear her, his fox-like eyes squinted, and his slender fingers shuddered faintly, until the tears dripped on the back of his hand, he finally came back to his mind. With a sneer expression he then threw the person hard on the ground.

Without saying a word, he got off the bed in a rage and walked out of the room. Perhaps the strength he used to kick the door was strong causing the door to hit the wall with a loud bang. 

Su Qing was startled by the loud noise, looking at the outside with eyes brimming with tears, lowering her head and starting crying.

Gu Li, who was still kneeling outside, looked up when he heard the movement, and saw Gu Zifu passing by in front of him with a cold face. The door of the room was still open. He tried to calm himself down and listened carefully at the crying sound coming from inside. 

Oh, no! Did the Seventh uncle beat her in a moment of anger?

He scratched his head, wondering if he should go in and check. But at that moment, he saw Chuntao rush in from outside and entered the room.

Shuangqiao and Si Ting came afterwards, from Gu Zifu's fierce expression just now, the two just looked at each other and dared not to say anything.

When Chuntao saw Su Qing crying miserably, she felt like her heart was broken into pieces. She raised her head and tried to hold back the tears in her eyes, coaxing Su Qing softly until she's tired from crying too much and fell asleep. She then closed the door and sat outside to keep watch of her. 

It's now already past midnight. Gu Zifu returned to Gu courtyard.

A "creak", Chuntao suddenly woke up from the sound. When she raised her eyes and met with Gu Zifu's cold gaze, she quickly swallowed back the words she wanted to say. 

Gu Li, who was still kneeling in the courtyard, also awakened by the noise. As soon as he moved, his knees hurt so badly, inhaling cold air in his mouth and asked, "Seventh uncle is back?"

Chuntao nodded, and went over wanting to help him up, but she was pushed away by him. Gu Li straightened his body and said with firm eyes, "As a man, how can I complain about pain. Even if I want to get up, I'll have to wait for Seven Uncle to open his mouth first."

Su Qing was very exhausted from crying and fell asleep, didn't even have time to change her clothes. The warm quilt was suddenly lifted by someone, Su Qing woke up confused, as soon as she opened her eyes to look at the coming person, the scene in front of her turned dark, that person covered her eyes and got into her quilt.

"Close your eyes and sleep, or else I'll throw you out." Simply cold words refused letting others have a say.

Su Qing already exhausted, after hearing his cold warning, she didn't protest and shrank back her body, feeling her eyelids getting heavy, she fell back to sleep in no time.

The two slept peacefully inside the room, but Gu Li was still kneeling outside in suffering.

Now the sun is rising and scorching hot, Gu Li kinda regretted what he said last night. At this moment, he constantly wriggled around his body in the courtyard

Fortunately, Si Ting had made up an excuse for him ahead of time, otherwise if Ding shi sent someone over and saw her son's current state, she would be in so much distress. 

Shuangqiao took the two cotton knee pads that she made before and gave them to Gu Li to put under his knees, but Gu Li firmly refused it. She convinced him with a smile, "The Seventh Lord likes people who practice martial arts persistently, but he never said he likes a kneeling general."

"….." Gu Li thought about it for a while, and seemed to make sense. He reluctantly put the knee-pads underneath with Si Ting's help and said, "Alright, let's have a deal first, when I really become a general, you guys are not allowed to let others know about my punishment——"

"Okay, Okay, does the Young Master want to eat something?"

"Yes!"

Su Qing was still having her sweet dream at this moment, and did not know what was happening outside, until a loud roar came, slightly wrinkled her eyebrows and drilled into the warm place.

Si Ting struggled to stop the intruder and smiled bitterly, "General, General Wen, please don't make things difficult for this subordinate. The Seventh Lord is really resting…."

The coming person is a middle aged man, his eyes are shaped, with great physical strength and courage. At a glance, one can feel the strong and unyielding hostility from this man. Especially now he's holding a heavy sword in hand, making him look even more powerful. 

Hearing this, General Wen narrowed his eyes, and wielded the heavy sword in his hand, "Resting your butt! He has been resting for a year already, is it still not enough? Si Ting, you little fellow, better step aside for this laozi (meaning I, referred to oneself in an arrogant way), get out!"

"Hey, General!" Si Ting was shuffled to the side. As he was going to catch up, Si Ting was suddenly grabbed by the young man behind him.

If Su Qing was here, she would recognize this young man, who helped her catch the thief the other day. 

Wen Lingzhuo said helplessly, "It's useless to go, it's not like you don't understand his personality. Everything will be fine after he has a fight with the Seventh Lord."

Si Ting was anxious, "It would be if it were a normal day, but the Seventh Lord had just quarreled with Madam last night, and now Madam is still in the room!"

"Madam?" Wen Lingzhuo was taken aback, and seemed to remember something, his face turned pale instantly, and hurriedly catching up with his father. 

"Hey, old man, you….."

"Bang——" The door was cut into two.

Wen Lingzhuo was stunned, then patted his forehead and walked in, "How many times did I tell you not to cut the doors of people's houses. General Mansion is going broke because of you!"

A cold snort came from inside, "You dare to control laozi!!"

Gu Li struggled to get up and was assisted by Si Ting as he said helplessly, "Young Master, you shall get up first, in case…..the area where you're kneeling may be full of potholes in a bit….."

Gu Li: "……."

"Gu Zifu, you dead fox! Where are you?!!"

Wen Zhen kicked the stool down as he shouted, then walked past the screen, seeing that the person was still sleeping comfortably in bed. The fire inside him has fueled up to the top of his head.

"When Si Ting told me that you're still sleeping, laozi didn't believe him. It turns out you rascal is really sleeping. Sleep your butt, you better get up now!" Saying this, he strode forwards going to pull the quilt.

Before he could reach it, slender fingers that folded into fists, with an amazing speed, directly punched at him causing the person to stagger two steps back.

Gu Zifu propped up half of his body, his fox like-eyes appeared murderous and his expression was very cold.

"Wen Zhen, do you want to die?!"

The soft delicate thing moving in his arms, then her head popped up from the quilt, rubbing her eyes and said with a sweet cute voice, apparently the person hasn't fully awake yet.

"So noisy……"
