Chapter 16 – High-Quality Tea

At night Su Qing took off her dress, the blue and purple bruises on her knees and calves were enough to startle her and Chuntao.

Chuntao was full of heartache, big drops of tears kept falling while applying the ointment on her injury.

Su Qing didn't say a word of comforting, and only sat there with her mind somewhat in a trance. Until Shuangqiao brought over the food, she ate a little bit and then went to take a bath and changed into clean clothes.

When she came outside again, she saw Gu Zifu already sat at the table and making tea. He slightly lifted his eyelids, then continued the movement in his hands, as if the person that just arrived was just a mere stranger.

Su Qing stood in place for a moment wrinkling the corner of her cloth and then walked over and sat down.

The tea last time was not fresh, so Su Ting specially bought Ya Zhuo top-quality tea from outside. In tribute tea, it is ranked number one and also called "Immortal tea". People in the palace also like this type of tea.

Even though Su Qing doesn't know about tea, at least she has some knowledge of the tea making process. From water to tea, from tea set to brewing technique, and other specifications. Among them, the mood of tea maker has to be particularly calm and peaceful, so that can produce tasty tea. To her surprise, Gu Zifu was actually very patient about this.

He poured the tea into the tea cup, the mist was very dense, slightly pushed the tea cup with his fingers to Su Qing.

"Taste it." Having said that and also poured himself a cup.

Su Qing carefully looked at him, she then lowered her head lightly blowing the hot tea, feeling that the tea temperature is warm enough, she picked the cup and drank it.

The tea fragrance is very pleasant, sweet, and astringent.

She finished it in one gulp, "Tasted very good."

"Not afraid anymore?" Hi Zifu blowing the hot air and asked coldly.

"......." Su Qing puffed up her cheeks as she looked at him, "As long as the Seventh Lord not going to scare me, I'm not afraid."

Hi Zifu though it was funny, he put down the teacup and looked at her, lazily said: "This Lord has never scared you off, obviously you are too timid. In contrast, your earth-shattering cry has freaked me out."

"Nonsense, obviously....." Su Qing realized what she just said and quickly shut up.

Her brain must have water in it for trying to argue with this person. Even if she talks until her mouth dry, he can easily twist black to white with only a few words. It would be just a waste of energy, talking to him would only make herself angrier.

After Su Qing finished her bath, he didn't fully dry her hair when she came out. The water droplets fell along the hairline on her lapel.

Gu Zifu narrowed his eyes slightly, then stretched out his hand to pinch her face twice.

Su Qing glared at him, "Seventh Lord let go, Chuntao said pinching the face would cause drooling at night...."

Upon hearing drooling, Su Qing could feel Gu Zifu's hand stiffen, and then quickly retracted his hand with disgusted in his eyes.

"Why are you little girl so dirty?"

Su Qing rubbed her small face and did not answer him. Her legs still hurting, she bent down and kneaded it for a while, then went outside to have Chuntao went to get a towel to help her to dry her hair.
