Chapter 523 What should I do if my husband wants to travel to the modern world?

In the carriage.

When the carriage stopped, Gu Chongguang keenly discovered that there was something wrong with Sheng Huan beside him.

Her hands unconsciously tightened the fabric on her knees, her eyelashes trembled nervously, and she bit her lips with her pearly teeth. She didn't notice that they were red, but it seemed that she was doing some huge psychological construction, and there was a sense of depression around her.

Gu Chongguang's eyes moved slightly, and he thought of what he had heard from the housekeeper before. The reason why he saved Miss Su who fell into the water was because the Su family wanted to give Miss Su to Duke Cheng.

He had heard about it before and just felt disdain for the people in the Su Mansion, but now... when he raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the Su Mansion, the warmth in his slightly raised eyes became dark.

"Second Master, Madam, we are here."

Outside the carriage, the coachman, who did not hear any movement inside the carriage, did not understand what was going on, but still spoke out a reminder.

In the car, Sheng Huan woke up from a dream when she heard the words. She clenched her palms and raised her eyes slightly to look at Gu Chongguang. Her wet eyes, unlike the previous ones with tiny starlight, seemed to be covered with a layer of haze.

"Husband, let's go down."

Gu Chongguang's eyes swept across the woman's slightly pale face. She was nervous, or... afraid.

His expression was calm, as usual, and he said: "Madam is now the wife of the Marquis, and a lady of the third rank. No one dares to embarrass you. Even if there is, you don't have to be afraid."

After saying that, he was the first to get off the carriage. Not knowing what emotion he was in, he didn't dare to look at her much.

Sheng Huan actually took a closer look at his back.

Gu Chongguang was right. She was a third-rank lady, which gave her the power to suppress everyone in the Su Mansion. However, some people in the Su Mansion might not be able to see the situation clearly...

Outside the carriage, when Su Ronglie and the others saw a tall man getting off the carriage, they couldn't stop showing excitement on their faces and almost strode over.

"General Gu, you are here!"

Fourth Miss Su Ninghui and Madam Su also hurried forward, both with smiles on their faces, especially Su Ninghui. All her dissatisfaction and resentment just now faded away when she saw Gu Chongguang, and her eyes lit up.

As expected of the Second Master of the Marquis' Mansion and a great general, he had a very imposing aura. If it were in the past, Su Ninghui would never have dared to imagine being so close to him face to face. After all, she was just the daughter of a minor official and could not really fit in at a banquet attended by nobles.

The more I think about it, the cheaper it really is for Su Hewei!

She suppressed the darkness rising in her heart and said softly, "General Gu."

Gu Chongguang ignored him, and Su Ronglie inexplicably felt that he was very cold to them.

Su Ninghui was unhappy, and Su Ronglie was not very happy either.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw the man in front of me reaching out his hand into the carriage.

He called out, "Madam."

As his voice fell, a pair of soft white arms stretched out from inside, and then, a woman dressed elegantly appeared.

She was surrounded by golden hairpins, had fair skin and beautiful looks, and the timidity in her eyes and eyebrows seemed to have disappeared. Everyone in the Su Mansion stared with wide eyes.

Madam Su and Su Ninghui had never expected that their niece/cousin had changed so much. However, after changing into gorgeous clothes, she actually had the bearing of a noble lady. It seemed that she was living a very good life in the Marquis' Mansion.

Sheng Huan placed her hand on Gu Chongguang's. She glanced at the Su family members present calmly. None of their faces looked good. She raised her aura.

"Be careful, madam."

Seeing this, a smile flashed across Gu Chongguang's eyes. He held Sheng Huan's hand tightly and brought him down with a little skill. There was no longer any feeling of separation as before.

"Thank you, husband." Sheng Huan nodded.

Gu Chongguang's eyebrows were unrestrained, his sword-like eyebrows flew diagonally into his temples, and his smile was very sunny and tough: "Between you and me, there is no need to thank me."

Sheng Huan looked at him, lowered her eyes slightly, and her face flushed. He was supporting her. At that moment, Sheng Huan almost understood what he meant.

Gu Chongguang was indeed supporting her, but when he saw Sheng Huan embarrassedly lowering his eyes, moving like a mimosa, his heart paused slightly.

Su Ronglie and his wife saw that Gu Chongguang stared at Sheng Huan for a long time without taking his eyes off, and their eyes flickered slightly.

Su Ninghui felt that this scene was very dazzling. After all, she had never thought of seeing such a loving couple! Thinking that she didn't know who she would marry in the future, no matter who she married, it would definitely not be as good as General Gu's background, she couldn't help but feel resentful and spoke sourly.

"Sister He Wei, why didn't you say hello to your father, mother, and sister when you came back?" She scolded, "You are such a fool. You have forgotten the rules that the mansion taught you before. You are becoming more and more ignorant."

She looked at Gu Chongguang and acted dignified: "General Gu, Sister He Wei used to love to be lazy in the mansion. She didn't follow the rules of needlework. I made you laugh."

Sheng Huan clenched the handkerchief tightly and was about to say something, but Gu Chongguang gently held Sheng Huan's hand and said directly: "Don't worry about it."

He lowered his eyes and looked at Sheng Huan: "I have seen everything since Madam married into the Marquis' Mansion. She is good in every way. Moreover, the General's Mansion doesn't care about those things. Even if that is true, Madam, just be at ease."

Sheng Huan paused, her eyes fixed on the man's big hand holding hers for a while, then she raised her eyes to look at Su Ninghui, very powerfully: "Fourth sister is joking, I didn't learn so many rules when I was in the mansion before, after all, I had to learn with several sisters and the nanny every time, aunt..."

Mrs. Su's heart skipped a beat. When she was about to stop him, she saw Sheng Huan had already said the rest of the words.

"My aunt has already said that the money left by my parents is gone. We have to support such a large family, and there is not much money left to pay my share."

Mrs. Su's face flushed red, and she didn't dare to look into Gu Chongguang's eyes. It would be ridiculous to say this. The nanny hired by the Su family was a nanny from the palace. All the young ladies in the Su family could learn from her, but this young lady could not.

Why? It’s because they are targeting us. Without money, it’s even more impossible!

"Oh?" Gu Chongguang looked at Madam Su and Su Ronglie: "I remember that my wife's biological father and mother are both among the richest businessmen in Jinzhou. Not to mention raising only my wife, they could have raised a hundred or a thousand. How is this possible..."

His voice gradually cooled, and he looked up at the large house of the Su Mansion: "I remember that Lord Su was a ninth-rank proofreader a few years ago, and his salary was not enough to buy such a big house—"

"Ouch! Why are we still talking outside? It's all my fault for not hosting you well enough! General Gu, don't worry about it. We can go in and talk about what we have to say. My daughter is just ignorant!"

Su Ronglie's face changed, and he glared at Su Ninghui and Madam Su. He spoke in a loud and urgent voice, as if he wanted to cover something: "General Gu, He Wei, let's go in quickly!"

"Yes, yes, come into the mansion and tell us what's going on. You must be thirsty, so come in quickly!"

Mrs. Su also pinched Su Ninghui hard. Su Ninghui felt aggrieved, but she could only swallow it for the time being.

She thought to herself, General Gu was exaggerating. Su Hewei's biological father and mother were just low-class merchants. How could they have so much money? Merchants have been lowly since ancient times. If it weren't for her family, Su Hewei would be a lady from an official family. It was just a dream! Su Ninghui had been lying for too long, and she had completely forgotten the life she had when she was a child, living in that small house.

"Master Su, have you forgotten that your daughter was just saying something bad about my wife? Shouldn't you express your opinion?"
