When the carriage stopped in front of  Gu mansion's gate, Su Qing opened the curtain and didn't even look at the Seven Lord who was still sitting inside, she quickly got out of the carriage and walked toward the Gu Courtyard panting with rage.

Chuntao hurried followed behind, she couldn't help but feeling sad in her heart. It was already bad enough for Her Highness suffered in the palace, but she also got bullied here. How could Chuntao not feeling heartache for her.

The s.p.a.ce at north yard is very big. Beside the main room there still have several empty rooms. Su Qing didn't want to see Gu Zifu. She's not in the mood to play with teasing game, she also felt really tired. She had Chuntao conveniently went to find a room. After cleaned it up a little bit, the room indeed looked much brighter than before. It's said that the deep palace is like a bottomless lake, dealing with somebody courteously but without sincerity. Only G.o.d knows how nervous she was when facing a dangerous high tower in the palace. 

The quilt on the bed is a little damp, but Su Qing didn't care, she pulled the quilt up and fell asleep.

Gu Zifu was leisurely strolling around the Gu Mansion while listening to Si Ting's report. He casually picked the rose and played it in his hand, slightly twisted it with his fingertips, and his nails were stained with flower juice.

Si Ting quickly handed in the handkerchief.

Gu Zifu took it, glanced at the servant kneeling on the ground, threw away the handkerchief and said: "Boring."

He then immediately turned his back and walked to Gu Courtyard.

———-

In the afternoon, Su Qing was woken up the noise outside.

"Chuntao?"

Hearing no response, she cleared her throat and shouted again but still now answer. She reluctantly supported herself to get up, rubbed her eyebrows a little to wake herself up and wore the shoes before standing up. Since she came to the Gu Courtyard, she had never slept well. Her face complexion looks much worse in recent days. She went to the table, poured herself a cup of tea, and as she was about sip it, she heard a bang noise in the yard.

What sound?

Su Qing was stunned with her eyes blinking.

How dare someone make trouble in the Seventh Lord's courtyard? Tsk, really tired of living.

Even she thought so in her heart, she was not in a hurry at all, She finished tea in a cup, twisted a piece of cake slowly chew it, then patted the crumbs on her hands before walking outside. 

When she opened the door, she was dumbfounded by the mess outside and stood still on the spot. Broken things, the floor tiles were flipped over, and the branches scattered everywhere……

"Your Highness, careful!"

Su Qing heard Chuntao's exclamation, but before could react, a big head rushed over like hurricanes with a roar, and the strong wave of wind completely brought her to the ground.

Chuntao stunned standing in the distance looking at Su Qing. She covered her mouth and cried out in trembled: "Your Highness…."

This, this is….

Su Qing blinked and looked at the big furry head in front of her for a long time.

"…..a tig….tiger?" and still breathing?

Su Qing tried to calm herself down, took a deep breath and looked at the tiger. At the same time that big head was also staring at her. Its heavy breath went straight to her face.

"Are you Da Bai (great white)?" She asked cautiously. Thanks to her nervousness, she can still remember what Gu Zifu said before.

Da Bai raised his head and roared as he response to her. The ear splitting voice nearly knocked Su Qing out. He then lowered the head and moved his nose to sniff in front of Su Qing. His claws rubbing against the blue-stone underneath, making a creaking sound, it was so frightening to look at.

Su Qing was also secretly sweated inside.

Si Ting and Chuntao were also at a loss looking at the scene in front of them. This is a tiger raised by the Seventh Lord, it usually has never been closed to the people, and it was not uncommon at all to bite people to death. It's just that it was locked at the resident outside the capital, how did it come back?

Si Ting was the first to come back to his senses and left a sentence: "I'm going to find the Seventh Lord." before running away.

At the moment, Gu Zifu was sitting in the room feeling annoyed. He felt even more irritated when he was interrupted by Si Ting. Before Si Ting could explain anything, he was already scolded by him. Gu Zifu then went out angrily.

———

"You eat that one, I eat this one."

After a while, a soft voice came from the inside yard. 

"No, I haven't tasted this one yet, hey leave me a piece…."

Eh?

Si Ting was dumbfounded. He suppressed his curiosity, stood on tiptoe and looked forward. From his angle, he could only see a person and a tiger were sitting on the ground. Su Qing had her back facing against him, so he could not her expression clearly. 

Gu Zifu lightened his pace and went to the other side to see. It was okay not to look at, once he saw what was happening he was almost laughed through furry. 

He saw Su Qing sitting cross legged on the ground, with a dish of pastries on her legs, holding a half bite pastry in her hand, with some debris left on her mouth. Seeing him came over, she looked at him in a daze, blinking a few times still not came back to her senses. And then saw Da Bai abruptly strike with his big head like tornado and cleanly ate all the pastries in the plate, did not leave any residual.

Seeing this, Su Qing put half of the remaining cake in her hand into her mouth and said with bulging mouth: "No, no more."

Gu Zifu: "……"

Everyone: "……."

When Da Bai saw his master come, he jumped happily, and growl to the sky, wagging his tail and shaking big head, rus.h.i.+ng to Gu Zifu's side. Gu Zifu took a step back, and lifted his feet to kick Da Bai about a meter away. Da Bai's head slammed into the ground. 

Gu Zifu laughed with a sneered: "Idiot."

Da Bai felt wronged when being kicked for no reason. Lying on the ground, whining in a low voice, and did not dare to move anymore. 

Su Qing was also startled by quite a stir. When she looked up, she happened to have eyes contacted with Gu Zifu who was also looking at her. She quickly got up in panicked, put her head down and walked to hide behind Chuntao and Shuangqiao. 

Chuntao was also scared, but she still closely guarded Su Qing behind her, and starring vigilantly at the person and a tiger in front of her.

At that time, Si Ting who left a moment ago has came back, looking at Da Bai who crouching on the ground and spoke with hesitation: "Seventh Lord, there are many people outside, saying that a tiger broke into the imperial capital. It has frightened and hurt people. They want the Seventh Lord to give them justice."

"Justice?" Gu Zifu retrieved his gaze and laughed coldly: "How can justice can be tasty like tiger meat? It's ok not to have this stupid tiger. You go to ask them, whoever willing to eat, this Seventh Lord will personally move the knife."

Finished saying, Gu Zifu immediately walked outside the yard, but when pa.s.sing by Su Qing, he stopped his pace and his tone was extremely bad: "You also come along."

Su Qing was agitated again. She looked at Shuangqiao, and Shuangqiao shook her head helplessly.

Seventh Lord's temperament has always been cloudy and uncertain. It's always up to whatever he says. No one can figure it out, and no one dares to figure it out. Thinking of this, Shuangqiao bent over to rearrange Su Qing's clothes, patted off the dust on it, and tried to comfort her quietly: "At the moment, the seventh Lord is angry, madam will need to be more careful when speaking. If you really p.i.s.sed him off …"

She paused and looked around before whispered to Su Qing: "If, if you really p.i.s.sed him off, madam must quickly runs out. The Seventh Lord likes to keep his face, he will not lower his pride to chase after you."

Su Qing nodded, patted the back of Shuangqiao's hand to comfort her, and then went after him.

As soon as the two left, Shuangqiao and Chuntao did not dare to stay with Da Bai, they quickly turned around and left too. 

Da Bai, first was beaten, and now being abandoned. A pity tiger was left alone. It looks pitiful but also scary. 

Gu Zifu has a tall body, he walked very fast, and Su Qing tried to keep up with him trotting with her short legs behind him. Seeing that he walked pa.s.sed the door, she finally was able to hold the wall outside and gasp for air, trying to stabilize her breathing as soon as possible.When she entered the room, she saw a basket on the table. She knew the things inside the basket, it were red roses. She had seen it several times in the back garden of Gu Mansion.  It was just that at that time they were not in bloom yet. She didn't expect that they look so beautiful in full bloom. 

Su Qing looks at the table greedily. In her previous life, because of her poor health, there were so many things that her family restricted her from doing. She wanted to each of them one by one, even if only one in a day it may not be a bad idea. All of a sudden, a sneer rang in her ears, pulling her thoughts back. With a warm breathed behind her neck, she didn't know when Gu Zifu was standing behind her.

Su Qing pinched her fingertips lightly, so that the pain could help to calm down her heart. She asked in a low voice: "Is there something Seventh Lord want to say?"

Gu Zifu only said 'Uh', and his cool fingertip slightly flicks away her hair hanging to the side, looking at the burned area that is still a little red, but will not leave scars. He only touched softly and the little girl's body was already shuddered. 

He twisted her hair around his fingertips and said with a smile: "In any case, you already left that deep palace, why are you still afraid? This Seventh Lord heard, womenfolk like to pull each other's hair and clothes when fighting, overall, it's better than you are being beaten and scolded."

It's easy for him to say. It was in the palace, if she really did that, the Grand Consort Duan and Su Yingruo would use a hundred accusations to take her life.

She would not commit such a stupit mistake.

Su Qing mutters secretly to herself, glancing at the roses on the table, and found a subject to talk about: "The Seventh Lord hasn't said what you want me to do, and these roses, ouch——"

She was about to get up while talking, but suddenly felt a sharp pain, she reluctantly sat back and looked at him unhappy. But she was afraid that her unhappy expression was too obvious and making this man angry and could only held back her emotions and put her head down. But occasionally raised her eyes and glared at him.

Gu Zifu smiled, let go of her hand and pinched on her face instead. Little girl's skin is smooth and tender, it felt extremely good when touching. Gu Zifu could not help but pinched a few more times, until seeing her white skin turned red, he then stood up in a good mood and walked over to sit next to the table.

He pushed the tea cup forward and said: "Come, pour a cup of tea for Seventh Lord."

It hurts.

Su Qing raised her hand and rubbed her face. Feeling angry in her heart, she lowered her head and whispered: "Stupid hads, can't pour tea."

Even the clay figure still has three parts of bed temper, not to mention she is a living person. If it goes on like this, wouldn't she end up being bullied by this psycho until nothing left? But when she thought about the original body in the end was killed just a slap by this Seventh Lord. She also felt a little frightened.

What to do? How to entangle it?

Sooner or later has to die anyway, she might as well die early and quickly go to reincarnation ah.Or else, should she give it a try?

Thinking like this, Su Qing's eyes were slightly lit up, rubbing in her heart how to open her mouth.

Gu Zifu slightly clicked his tongue, and stretched out his hand to pour himself a cup of tea. He conveniently pushed the basket full of roses in front of her and said: "Take this, and choose the best one sent to Shuangqiao. Tell her that Seventh Lord wanted to eat rose pastry."

Huh?

"Why doesn't the Seventh Lord go and tell her directly?" Su Qing said in dissatisfied. 

Gu Zifu lifted his eyelids and coldly said: "I let you go just go, why are so much rubbish?"

Su Qing only said "Oh" and didn't dare to look at him again. Holding the basket and left immediately. 

After went far away, Gu Zifu finally remembered what he wanted to ask her earlier. He wanted to ask her if she remembered seeing him when she was a child, but come to think about it now, he felt it was not important. 

Glancing at the empty room, he curled up his mouth feeling bored, he took off his coat and walked into inside room.
