I Married Female Lead's Crush Chapter 45

The room was momentarily quiet and terrifying. 

"Oh, it's still early, you should sleep a little longer." Gu Zifu gently rubbed the little girl's head, coaxed the person to go back to sleep, then pulled the quilt covering her.

The father and son stood there with their eyes wide open in shock, could not believe the scene in front of them.  

No, it's not real?!

Who can tell them, when did the Seventh Lord learn to be gentle and coax the person to sleep?

Su Qing's head was so dizzy, she didn't think much about it, vaguely responded, and went back to sleep.

After hearing the sound of shallow breathing, Gu Zifu carefully got out of the bed. His gaze fell on Wen Zhen, with a cold expression, without saying anything, Gu Zifu pulled his collar and walked outside.

"Holding your stomach full of fire to come here, didn't you want to look for a fight? Okay, let's who will get beat so badly today and cry for parents!"

Wen Zhen stumbled along with a few steps before he could react he was dragged all the way here by his junior. 

Feeling embarrassed, he roared in anger, "Don't pull lao zi!"

"Shut up!"

Since he joined the army until now, all the martial arts skills Wen Zhen has learned are from well-known schools, all his moves are rational, but when he met with Gu Zifu who is unorthodox. After being famous from a young age, he's been taking the killing moves all the way- fast, accurate, and ruthless. 

"Bang——" Within ten strokes, the sword fell to the ground, and the blue stone road split instantly. 

Gu Li, who was next to him, shrank his neck; inwardly thought to himself, if it fell on his head, it would bloom on the spot.

Wen Zhen sucked in cold air a few times, and his palms were trembling with numbness. He stared at Gu Zifu and said with grinning teeth, "What's you crazy about early in the morning?!"

"I'm crazy?"

As soon as his words fell, a pair of cold eyes as sharp as a knife swept over, with a sneered, Gu Zifu shifted his body and his claw attacking Wen Zhen with lightning speed.  Wen Zhen was surprised by his sudden attack, and quickly dodge, but at the same raise his feet to kick Gu Zifu.

The two respectively took a step back.

Wen Zhen became angrier by Gu Zifu's aggressive attack. As he was going to open his mouth to scold at him, he saw a flash of silver light at the corner of his eyes, and subconsciously invaded his body to the side.

The irresistible chill flew through and directly hit the back wall of the Gu courtyard. The debris was scattered in an instant, and the dust was flying all over the sky. Then the heavy sword that was thrown on the ground.

Gu Zifu seemed not to be aware of it. He clapped his hands and said innocently, "Ai ya, my hand slipped."

Everyone: "……."

Wen Zhen's mouth twitched and turned to ask Si Ting, "Did your Seventh Lord…..change from a sly fox to mad dog?"

"…….." Si Ting's having a headache.

He didn't know whether the Seventh Lord changed or not, but one thing he's certain of is he will be the one who has to repair this wall. 

There's so much noise out there, even Su Qing wanted to continue to sleep, she won't be able to. To make matters worse, she even let Gu Zifu sleep on the same bed with her last night. Now come to think about it, it's really ridiculous.

Chuntao has been waiting outside the whole time. Once she heard the moment inside, she quickly went in and helped Su Qing to get dressed and wash up. She brought in a basin of warm water, soaked in a towel and put on Su Qing's swollen red eyes, carefully touched it fearing that it would hurt the person.  

"It's nothing, I'll do it myself." Su Qing took a deep breath and took the towel in Chuntao's hand and gently cleaned her face.

Chuntao turned away and secretly wiped the tears on the corner of her eyes and went to open the window letting the fresh air blow in. The warm sunlight shines through the window, the weather outside is really nice today.

Gu Zifu and Wen Zhen knew each other in the military camp. The Wen clan has been in the military for generations and produced many great generals. All males in the Wen clan at the age of six will be sent to live in military camps with their elders and go through the same taught training, and treatment as the rest of the army. As a result, none of the children from Wen Family has an air of spoiled young master like most of the children of aristocratic families in the capital. When it came to Wen Zhen, despite being a general, very brave and skillful in battles, he also had a stubborn personality, not allowing others to refute him. Only Gu Zifu who dares to challenge his authority. 

At first, it can still be suppressed, but who would know that kid, Gu rascal was very talented, it didn't take long before his martial arts and strength surpassed him, causing Wen Zhen to feel so offended. Because of this, the two always fight first every time they meet before starting the conversation.

Seeing the moods of these two become worse, Wen Lingzhuo hurried and came forward, interrupted the fight, "Old fogey, this is your fault. It's not easy for you to come back to the capital, don't always shout fighting and killing the moment you see the Seventh Lord. Others will gossip about it if they hear it."

"Do you think Laozi cares about those scumbags? What a joke?" Wen Zhen rubbed his numb arm and said with disdain. 

Wen Lingzhuo laughed awkwardly, "…….this old man of my family has a bad temper, the Seventh Lord please don't put yourself on the same level as him…."

"He's going to die before me anyway." Gu Zifu said. 

The smile on the corner of his mouth didn't change. It's just that the murderous intent under his eyes has dissipated and resumed to normal. 

Wen Lingzhuo: "……."

"You!" Wen Zhen's face turned black from anger, and took a while to calm it down, "You better live until hundred years old, otherwise, the little girl in your room would become a widow at a young age.

"Oh?" Gu Zifu raised his eyebrow.

Wen Lingzhuo's heart pounded.

Gu Zifu revealed a smirked smile in his eyes before saying, "The one in the room is your niece. Tsk, widow? Not a bad idea."

Wen Zhen froze, staring at him with wide eyes, "What niece?"

Gu Zifu sneered, didn't answer him, and turned back to the house.

"That's right, the Seventh Lord said is true…."

Wen Lingzhuo touched his own nose and awkwardly said, "The late imperial had left a decree for the younger sister cousin to marry the Seventh Lord. At that time when aunt Yan entered the palace to be the late imperial consort, you said it in person that you wanted to sever the relationship between brother and sister. I don't know how you feel now, plus the matters at the border at that time were urgent, so I didn't dare to tell you. But rest assured, I know you have a sharp-tongued but soft heart, thus I made my own decision and asked Tang Ruyan to take care of these two siblings. Besides their days are a little bit difficult, there's nothing serious to be worried about …."

Wen Lingzhuo's voice was gradually lowering as he carefully looked at Wen Zhen's complexion.

Su Qing, who was inside the room, heard the conversation between the two clearly.

No wonder Tang Ruyan said that he was entrusted by someone. Now it all makes sense.

Uncle? Older cousin?

Su Qing lowered her eyes slightly to hide the emotions in her eyes. As for their future relationship, let's take one step at a time.

When she lifted her eyes, she happened to see Gu Zifu striding into the house. Su Qing's body subconsciously trembled and quickly hid behind Chuntao, as her white hands touched the collar, covering the red mark on her neck.

Gu Zifu also saw that red mark. He sat at the table, leaned over his head as he thought about it for a moment, and said casually, "The words I said last night, I didn't lie to you."

Which words?

Shuangqiao just brought over the hot meals and placed them on the table. Su Qing was extremely exhausted last night, now her stomach is so hungry, but she's afraid of Gu Zifu and can only bite her lip and stare at the food on the table.

Gu Zifu put the porridge on the opposite side, slightly raised his eyelids, and coldly said, "Do I need to go over and invite you?"

After waiting for a long while and saw the little girl still didn't move, he frowned and added a sentence, "I won't hit you."

Wen Zhen, who just happened to walk in from outside, heard this sentence, clenched his fists, and his sword-like gaze fell on Gu Zifu. If his gaze could kill someone, Gu Zifu probably had been stabbed into hundred pieces already. 

Su Qing pulled Chuntao's sleeve and whispered, "Chuntao, you come and sit with me."

Chuntao nodded distressedly, at this moment she no longer cared about the differences between the master and servant, took the stool, and sat next to Su Qing. She then held the chopsticks and picked up food for Su Qing. 

There were extra two big men at the table, making Su Qing feel a little uncomfortable. She lowered her head and slowly took a small bite at a time, and did not dare to look up at all. 

Chuntao recognized Wen Lingzhuo, a hero who helped them catch the thief the other day and about to stand up greeting him, but Wen Lingzhuo only smiled gently at her and told her to sit down first.

Gu Zifu only ate a few bites, lost his appetite, threw the spoon back into the bowl, and said, "Don't want to eat, no appetite." He then used his chopsticks to knock on the corner of the bow making "pang, pang" noise.

He'd like to eat or not has nothing to do with her. It's best if he starves to death. She picked up the spoon and wanted to scoop the fish soup, but she couldn't reach it, as she was about to ask Chuntao for help, a large hand calmly took her bowl, filled it with the fish soup and put it back in front of her. 

That big hand has scars everywhere. No matter from which point of view, it's not a pair of hands that people wanted to get close to after seeing it. However, the small movements he did just now, he was so familiar and efficient, as if he had already done it countless times.

Su Qing looked up as her eyes met with Wen Zhen and in a low voice immediately said "thanks" to him, then lowered her head and continued eating fish soup.

There was a trace of embarrassment on Wen Zhen's face, after hearing her thanks. He coughed twice before reaching out his hand grabbed the chopsticks in Gu Zifu's hand angrily then threw it on the table. He asked in a stern voice, "When are you planning to return? Don't use the excuse of a serious injury to fool me. You're a mad dog, it'd be fine even if cut with another knife."

Gu Zifu's face turned cold, "what mad dog? This name is really unpleasant to hear."

"Fox and mad dog are not humans, so there is no different."

"Hump, you're old and useless." 

Seeing the two are going to start the fight again, Wen Lingzhuo quickly interrupted and changed the subject by talking about the current situations at the border and the court affairs.

Halfway through their discussion, they saw the little girl put down her bowl, carefully walked out of the door with small steps, and kindly closed the door for them.

Waiting for the sound of footsteps to go away, "Bang—" a big hand heavily hit the table.

Wen Zhen's expression turned ugly and said angrily, "Gu Zifu! I don't care what dissatisfaction you had with me before, but if you dare to hurt her again, I'll definitely fight you until the end."

Gu Zifu smiled lazily, "It wasn't me who asked to bestow this marriage. If You have the ability to dig the tomb of the late emperor and see if the late imperial can open his mouth to withdraw his decree."

"I'm not going to argue with you. One word, let go of the person or not?"

"Let go of what person?"

Wen Zhen glared at him, "Don't try to act foolishly in front of me, write the divorce paper now, immediately!"

Divorce paper?

Wen Lingzhou was taken aback, he did not expect that his father would mention divorce paper so suddenly.

However, this marriage was bestowed by the late emperor. Now that the crown prince hasn't ascended the throne yet, if he writes the divorce paper now it would be equivalent to defy the late emperor's decree.

While Wen Lingzhuo was thinking about how to persuade his father, he suddenly heard Gu Zifu's mockery laughing, "Dream on!"

What a joke!

He hasn't hugged the person to his heart content yet, how can he let go so easily?

There was deadlocked on both sides. Both of them refused to back out until there was a knocking sound on the door from outside.

Si Ting stood outside and carefully said, "Seventh Lord, Madam said she's in a bad mood and would like to move out for a few days."

Gu Zifu: "……"

Ouch—-someone's face hurts a little.
