I Married Female Lead's Crush Chapter 13

T/N: I am going to be very busy this weekend so I decided to post 3 chapters at once. By the way, did anyone read Pillow Book? I am a big fan of the novel. Finally the drama air today after two years of waiting. Hopefully, the production sticks to the original story.

She has to admit the reputation of Seventh Lord of Gu Family is indeed very well-deserved. Si Ting only said a few words to the people who were waiting outside the mansion, he didn't even need to pull out the sword on his waist, many people were already frightened, some wanted to retreat and some wanted to go to the court to seek justice while hesitating, they heard another roar from the inside mansion, everyone's face changed greatly. No longer care about justice or not, they hurriedly turned around and ran, didn't even say goodbye to each other. Some brave people wanted to insist to stay a little longer, but they have only a small group so it was only a matter of seconds before getting cleaned up.

After cleared them out, Si Ting gave a few instructions to the servants who guarding the gate and then turned around and walked back into the mansion.

Only took a few steps, he saw Luo momo from who served the Old Madam's, leaning out her body from the rock hill, and looked toward the front gate. When she saw Si Ting, she smiled at him awkwardly, then turned around and left.

Si Ting pondered about it for a bit, then immediately followed her. Seeing that she returned to the small Pavillion where the Old Madam lived, he turned around and went back to Gi Courtyard to report to Seventh Lord.

"…..Seventh Lord, those people outside came and left very fast, there was nothing unusual, it's just that….." Su Ting looked up at his facial expression and continued: "The Old Madam's people seem to be paying attention too. This subordinate is incompetent and couldn't get any information."

"No problem."

It's the middle of May now, the weather is getting warmer outside, but there is still a small stove in the room. Guzifu took off his coat and simply wore an inside white robe. Lying on a soft couch with one hand on his head, and slightly sneered listened to his report. 

"Since she's willing to try her luck, let her be. She's already this old still doesn't know how to stop. Sooner and later will break into pieces. It's also good that has someone creating disturbance for this Seventh Lord every day."

"Seventh Lord said is right" After Si Ting finished reporting other matters, he quickly took his leave.

Just he about to close the door, he saw Shuangqiao coming with a plate of pastry. The sweet aroma of the rose cake making his heart move.

Shuangqiao walked to him and said with a smile: "The rose pastry that Seventh Lord has ordered."

Si Ting coughed lightly tried to cover his embarra.s.sment. He thought about the scene in the house, he reached for the pastry and said: "Let me send it to Seventh Lord."

"Okay."

The pastry was moderately soft, sweet and delicious, but Gu Zifu frowned after took a bite and threw it aside in disgusted: "Why would anyone like to eat such nasty thing?"

"The cakes have sweet and nice fragrant. Young ladies in the imperial capital all like them." Si Ting thought about tactful way of replying.

Gu Zifu waved his hand and went back to lay down: "Forget it, take this thing out of my face, just to look at it makes me feel angry."

"Seventh Lord, would you like to try something else?"

"Eat Eat Eat, only know to eat, wouldn't you die from eating." Gu Zifu was in furious.

"……" Si Ting who was yelled at for no reason, could only quietly exit with the pastry.

Shuangqiao who was waiting outside the door saw what just happened, she took over the plate with a smile and took out a handkerchief and put some pastry in his palm: "Don't worry, this handkerchief has just been washed and has not been used. You may as well have a taste."

She then turned around and exit the yard.

After watching she went far away, Si Ting stared at the pastry for a long time and then tested it with hesitation. At first, it was nothing, but once he swallowed it was excessively greasy. He walked away and "pooh-pooh” twice, wiping his mouth and mumbled to himself: "No wonder the Seventh Lord doesn't like it."

But there is still a lot left, he can't just throw them away. If let Shuangqiao knows she will definitely kill him.

After pondering for a long time, Si Ting's eyes suddenly lit up. That's right, isn't there Da Bai in the backyard? Perfect for it.

————–

The Seventh Lord doesn't like it, but others like it.

Su Qing looked at the rose pastry that was brought back. There was a joy in her heart, she came forward and asked: "Seventh doesn't like it?"

"En," Shuangqiao nodded, she raised her hand and wiped the crumbs off her mouth and said: "Since the Seventh doesn't like it, I'll give it to madam." She then shoved it into Su Qing's hand.

"Thank you, I'll give some to Chuntao to taste as well."

After taking a few steps, Su Qing suddenly stopped her pace, turned around and said with a little embarra.s.sment: "It's my fault, I forgot you haven't eaten yet."

Shuangqiao quickly held down her hands, shook her head and said: "It's nothing. These are my expertise. If madam wants to learn, come to find me when you have time."

"Really?" Su Qing  said joyfully.

"Of course."

"Great, I'll go look for you tomorrow."

Shuangqiao stood in the same spot and watched until Su Qing disappeared, she then closed her eyes and sighed sighingly. 

When Su Qing found Chuntao, she was was.h.i.+ng clothes in the southern courtyard. Her hands were soaked with water, it was inconvenient to eat. Seeing this, Su Qing twisted a piece of pastry and delivered it into her mouth: "You do your things, I'll feed you."

"Your Highness…." Chuntao's eyes were reddish, and choked a little as she swallowed the pastry.

Since His Majesty has gone, Her Highness's temperament has converged . Now she's married to the Seventh Lord, how much grievance she has in her heart.

Seeing her like this, Su Qing already knew what she was thinking about. She stretched out her hand to wipe her tears and softly comforted her: "Don't cry, you are the only one who is by my side and good to me. You are good to me, I have to be good for you too. Who made me your master."

Chuntao smiled through her tears, lowering her head with a blush.

In a warm afternoon, the master and servant one standing and one sitting finished a plate of rose pastry cleanly.

After chatting and laughing, Su Qing returned to the North Yard. As soon as she walked past the small door, she saw a big lump squatting in front of the door, the big head lying on the ground, with drooping eyes looking listless, and didn't even move when heard the noise.

Da Bai?

Su Qing calmed her mind, took a peek inside the house to see if Gu Zifu there. After a long thought, she gathered her courage and walked lightly toward the big door. She put her ear closer to the door, trying to listen to the movement inside, but there was quiet. Suddenly her eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with joy, presumably, Seventh Lord has an afternoon nap. In this case, Su Qing's courage has also grown.

She walked up to Da Bai, squatted down and stared at him for a while but saw that there was no response. Then she lifted her dress and moved a few more steps forward, and said in a low voice: "I know you are a good boy. You are following the Seventh Lord for so long, you must also suffer a lot of grievances. No surprise, the Seventh Lord has a bad temper and likes threatening people to make skin painting fan. How could he treat you good."

Su Qing reached out her shaky hand and stop about a finger away from the top of his head, she softly said: "Da Bai, let's discuss. If you let me touch you, I'll take you to eat delicious food, okay?"

Da Bai snorted "Hum".

Fearing that he didn't believe her, Su Qing took out the handkerchief that she just used to clean her hands after eating rose pastry and shaking it in front of Da Bai's nose. Sure enough, Da Bai quickly raised his head and smelled it with interest.

Su qing's were br.i.m.m.i.n.g, and the corner of her mouth curved up, revealing the dimples on both sides looked very lovely.

"Hm, smart Da Bai, it's precisely this smell, it tastes very delicious." After a while, Su Qing stretched out her hand again, patting on Da Bai's head, and quickly retracted her hand back, staring vigilantly at him.

Not moving? It means that Da Bai agreed?

Su Qing stroked his head again, and saw that Da Bai raised his head and licked on her palm, making Su Qing's turned soft and comfortable beyond words.

She gently stroked him for a while, then got up reluctantly and carefully took back the handkerchief before leaving the North courtyard. 

Su Qing retreated very carefully: "Come, Da Bai, follow me, we are going out to talk."

Da Bai sniffed his nose, shook his head, slowly got up and walked out with her.

Shuangqiao, who was idle in the kitchen, was shocked when she saw a person and tiger coming together. The basket in her hand fell to the ground and rolled a few times then stopped in front of Da Bai.

Da Bai bowed his head to sniff and his paws flipped the basket over, then lifted his head up with a big yawn, and lay down all of a sudden.

Hungry, he wants to eat.

"This….." Shuangqiao was at loos. 

Su Qing had already walked pa.s.sed her and went inside. When she came out again, she brought several dishes with her. Da Bai immediately raised his head. Seeing this Su Qing rushed to the table, as soon as she lay down the food, a big furry head came over and shoved her to the side.

"Don't make trouble." Su Qing giggles while her little hand stroking Da Bai's body.

One person and one tiger are very harmonious.

After seeing Da Bai almost cleaned up the food, Shuangqiao finally returned to her mind. She went to Su Qing and asked hesitantly: "Madam, did you get hurt?"

"No," Su Qing shook her head and looked at her doubtfully: "Da Bai is very obedient, he's just hungry."

Shuangqiao: "……"

She thought about it for a bit and said: "Madam, Da Bai was raised by Seventh Lord since it was a cub. Normally, it doesn't close to anyone besides the Seventh Lord. Just a bite from Da Bai would cost your life or seriously hurt." Shuangqiao carefully reached out her hand wanted to lightly touch his fur, but Da Bai immediately raised his head and bare his teeth, scratching his paws leaving long white marks on the table. Shuangqiao quickly retracted her hand and withdrew in panic.

"Da Bai!" Su Qing screamed.

Da Bai let out Ao Wu" sounds, and shook his head, hopping around Su Qing with his head adorably touching her. Until Su Qing touched his head again, he finally stopped and went back to the table continued to eat.

Su Qing frowned, sitting next to him as she watched him eating.

Seeing this, Shuangqiao was relieved. She then went into the kitchen to get some other food. They are leftover food, she was thinking about how to get rid of them.
