The Seventh Lord, he really did make fan from human"s skin and bone!
Su Qing opens her mouth in stunned. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, tears rolled down and dropped on the back of Gu Zifu"s hand.
One drop, two drops, three drops….
At the beginning her shoulders trembled slightly and wept silently, but later her sobbing voice became louder and louder and entire body shook uncontrollably. Choking with sobs, making Gu Zifu suspected that she would faint from crying if it continue.
He retracted his hand and gaze at the back of his hand which wet with her tears. He frowned as his face turned cold.
"Scared?"
It was better if he didn"t ask, now Su Qing cried even more fiercely.
"Scared …scared of Seventh, Seventh Lord…."
Hi zifu stood up and locked his gaze on her. He didn"t even have intended to kill but the little girl was already crying so fiercely making his mind felt somewhat irritated. Raising his feet and kicked on Su Qing"s ankle: "Why are you scared?"
"…..Because, because the Seventh Lord wants to make into a skin painting fan…."
"Oh, why didn"t I remember it? Gu Zifu said in relaxing sound.
Su Qing: "……"
It seemed like…really has never said it?
Su Qing stopped crying and looked up at Gu Zifu, her tearful eyes combining with red face, like the rose he picked in the daytime, tickled in his heart.
Followed his feeling, reached out his hand gently rub on Su Qing"s check.
Smoth, tender, and a little hot.
He asked with a smile: "Returned to your mind?"
"……" Su Qing lifted up her sleeve, wiped away the tears on her face, and turned her head away from looking at him.
People who are running in and out of the house, dare not come to bother them, nor has the courage to take a peek.
Gu Zifu didn"t urge, he stood there waiting for her.
A moment later, he heard Su Qing asking softly, "Seventh Lord really won"t kill me…."
Her sobbing became faintly, but her voice still trembling.
"En, I always keep his word." In the condition if he still can remember what he said.
Su Qing lowered her head, and seemed to be considering it seriously. After a while, she nodded hesitantly. As she was about to stand up, she found that her legs were weak, instantly stumbled and fell back.
"Seventh Lord, my legs are soft…." Su Qing whispered.
No movement.
Su Qing didn"t have expectation that Gu Zifu would help her, so she said, "If Seventh Lord doesn"t want to, can you help me call Chuntao? I, I really …"
She hasn"t finished her words yet, the large shadow fell in front of her, followed by her body was lifted off, Su Qing covered her mouth in time to prevent herself from shouting.
She, she was actually carried by Gu Zifu? Especially, with this style, it is really shameful.
This body is just a delicate little girl, so her weight is not heavy at all. But Gu Zifu was holding her waist with one hand and crossing over her lap with other hand, letting her lie on his shoulder. The way he hugged her looked like momo in the palace holding the children.
Being held in such position, she could see Gu Zifu"s beautiful jaw and his slightly bulging throat once she looked up.
Su Qing stared at him in a daze.
Watching her dreamy look, Gu Zifu narrowed his eyes, and slightly loosened his arms, Su Qing quickly wrapped her arms around his neck in shocked, hugging him tightly and didn"t want to let go.
Gu zifu was very pleased with her reaction.
Su Qing was even more ashamed feeling the vibration of his chest from laughing. With embarra.s.sment, she lay on Gu Zifu"s shoulder and fiddled with her hair a few times so that the scattered hair could cover her face. Unfortunately, Gu Zifu laughed even harder, it made Su Qing wondered was he mute in his previous life, he could make people half dead from anger as soon as he opens his mouth.
"Don"t laugh!" Su Qing threatened in low voice.
Gu Zifu once again loosened his hands, and his neck was tightly wrapped. Because the strength was a bit stronger than before, he almost suffocated.
"Release your hands! Do you want to strangle this lord to death?!"
"Then Seventh Lord promises not to throw me away."
"You release your hands first!"
"No." Su Qing closed her eyes and murmured softly, "It would hurt a lot if to fall down."
"……." He knows it now. No wonder the book says that a person and women are difficult to raise, these words are not wrong at all.
The interaction between the two, not only startled the servants in the mansion who were pa.s.sing by, but also shocked the several servants in the Gu Courtyard. Watching with big eyes at their two masters entered the room. They were in a daze for a long time before returning to their minds.
After a long while, Si Ting pinched hard on his own tight, the pain make him let out an ouch sound: "It"s real….."
Shuang Qiao said hesitantly: "Seventh Lord"s temperament is becoming more and more difficult to understand."
"Her Highness…." Chuntao almost fainted when she saw the scene just now, and only G.o.d knew how much effort she had to use to hold it up, "Her High …Madam, will she be okay?"
Shuangqiao patted the back of her hand, comforting her, "She"ll be okay. Seventh Lord…. He is not that kind of person."
That kind of person? What kind of person?
Chuntao thought about it for a while, but still couldn"t figure out what kind of person the Seventh Lord is. She was worried about Su Qing but could not do anything, had to wait outside walking in circle with concern. Shuanqiao had no choice but to accompany her.
Inside the room, Gu Zifu bent over and placed the person on the table, patted her back lightly and sneered, "If you don"t let go, I"ll throw you out to feed Da Bai."
"Nonsense, Da Bai will never bite me." Su Qing obediently released her hands, and then realized what she was saying, her heart skipped a beat, sitting on the table with her head down and dare not to look at him.
"Whatever you want to say." After saying this, he turned around, took off his coat and threw it on the floor. He rubbed his eyebrows and paused for a moment, seeing that there was no movement behind me, he turned around and saw Su Qing was still sitting on the table, circling around with her fair finger.
He frowned: "What are you doing there, waiting to be hit by thunder?"
Hearing his remarked, Su Qing was upset inside but did not dare to show it on her face. Because her mind just came back, she carelessly jumped off from the table, but with a sudden forced her knees landed on the ground. She quickly held the table for supporting, but ended up making teacups on the table shattered.
Gu Zifu was also taken aback by this sudden movement.
Su Qing hurried to stabilize herself. As soon as she looked up seeing Gu Zifu"s gaze, she hurried explained: "I, I"ll clean it up for Seventh Lord."
After saying this, she didn"t look at Gu Zifu"s expression, picked up the table, and chair, slowly walked to the door in small steps.
Once the door opened, Chuntao, who was outside the whole time, quickly came to greet her and carefully supported her out.
Su Qing leaned oh her body, she then shook her head, and immediately turned to close the door. She whispered, "My whole body is covered with dust, first help me to take a bath."
Chuntao held her in heartache, "OK, this servant will help Your Highness go back to the room first."
Gu Zifu sat on the bad, and half of his body propped up, listening to the conversation between the two people. He slowly raised his hand and slightly touched the candlelight, looked like a piece of white flawless jade, but contained coldness, as if there was no warmth at all, only born chilling feeling.
He murmured softly: "Isn"t my temper better recently….."
No one responded, no one listened, as if he"s talking to himself.
———–
It was dark outside. In the big Gu Mansion, only in the Third Lord"s room was lit with bright light and full of people.
Gu Hanyue covered the purple bruise on the corners of her mouth, gasped out a cool air and asked with concerned: "Doctor, how is my father condition?"
"There is nothing serious with the Third Lord, he"s just receiving some shock. This the old man will prescribe some medicine to calm his mind. After a few of rest, he will be fine." The doctor then sat down at the table and wrote the prescription and gave it the maid. The servant handed him the silver, and respectfully sent him out.
The Old Madam was sitting by the table and closed her eyes to rest her mind, and the placed that was scratched by the arrow earlier was well bandaged, all of a sudden, the teacup on the table was thrown to the ground and smashing.
Everyone lowered their head with frightened.
Today Gu Zifu dare to slap her face in front of everyone, in her mind couldn"t swallow this anger at all. But if it wasn"t for her ignorance, and her son incompetence, how could she be so humiliated like today? Because having anger in her heart, when she looked at the people from the Third family were also not pleasing to her eyes.
She held her breath and sternly said, "From today on, Ding shi will manage all the account books and expenses in the mansion, no further objections will be made."
Everyone was shocked, even Ding shi was also surprised.
"Based on what?!" A shrill voice came out from a beautiful woman sitting in the distance screamed, but she coughed heavily just after speaking. With her movements, the red and purple marks on her neck were exposed. This is the trace that caused by the Third Lord pinching just now when he was in madness.
The Old Madam said coldly, "What, do you have an opinion?"
Just a dancer from the brothel, what qualifications she has dared to raise her voice at her here.
That woman named Xu Meier, she was brought back from the entertainment house in Jiangnan when the Third Lord went to visit there. Because of her good looking and seductive image, making the Third Lord fell head over heels with her, in less than two years, the Third Lord stubbornly agreed to raise her status, despise the objection from the Old Madam.
Xu Meier narrowed her eyes and smiled stiffly, "The Old Madam has misunderstood my meaning. It"s just that now the Third Lord is still not awake yet, and the First Lord is also not in the mansion, Meier only feels it"s a little bit inappropriate. By the way the young master Li will be back in a few days, I"m sure the big sister in law will be too busy to handle affair in the family. In this case, it"s better to wait for the Third Lord to wake up first and discuss about it."
This old woman, if she is in charge of the family account at least Xu Meier still has some chance to get some money from her, but once it is in the hands of Ding shi, she"d stand no chance. At that time, if it was not because of the Gu Family"s wealth, she would not have wasted her beauty on such a useless person.
Ding shi was listening on the side, but did not express any opinion.
Gu Hanyue also commented: "Yeah, now that father is still in coma. The most important thing right now is to recuperate his health, as for managing the family account, we should discuss about it later."
"Ding shi, do you have any objection?"
Ding shi said softly: "It"s all up to the Old Madam."
"That being the case, Ding shi will be in charge of the family accounts starting tomorrow. As for the key, I"ll let Luo momo deliver it to you tonight." The Old Madam stood up, stretched out her hand to have Luo momo supported her, and took a few steps forward.
Ding shi said: "This daughter-in-law will live up to the Old Madam"s expectations."
The Old Madam only said "en", but she suddenly stopped at the doorstep, and looked at Gu Hanyue, "Yue"er, you are not young anymore. There will be a matchmaker coming tomorrow, if you don"t have anyone you like. By that time don"t say this old grandmother mistreated you."
"Old Madam….." Gu Hanyue anxiously wanted to catch up with her, but she was stopped by Luo momo.
"Young Miss Yue, please stop."
Gu Hanyue could only gritted her teeth and stood there unwillingly.
After the Old Mavery good trick."
"It"s only a little better than you." Fishined saying, Ding shi left the room without looking back.
Xu Meier smashed the tea cup in her hand to the ground in rage.
Gu Hanyue and her don"t like each other, so both of them left in a bad mood to separate ways.
Just as soon as she walked out of the yard, a maid stuck a small note to her.dam left, Xu Meier sneered at Ding shi: "The big sister in law has a very good trick."
"It"s only a little better than you." Finished saying, Ding shi left the room without looking back.
Xu Meier smashed the teacup in her hand to the ground in rage.
Gu Hanyue and Xu Meier don"t like each other, so they both also left in a bad mood to separate ways.
Just as soon as she walked out, a maid stuck a small note to her.
