Chapter 525 What should I do if my husband wants to wear modern clothes?
In the carriage.
The carriage wobbled as it drove back to the mansion.
Gu Chongguang looked at Sheng Huan who was silent after getting on the carriage. He thought of the way those maids were about to arrest her without any hesitation. His voice became low and with some certainty, he said:
"Madam, rest assured. I will help you get back what you have suffered at the hands of the Su family."
"It's better not to have that kind of family!" he said.
Sheng Huan's eyes were dazed. Hearing that, he raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on him. However, his pupils did not seem to be focused and there was a red circle around his eyes.
There were tears on her long and curled eyelashes, and when she blinked slightly, the tears fell down under the heavy weight. She looked like a helpless kite, and her whole body was extremely fragile.
But she smiled and said, "My husband is right. That kind of family is not worth it. I already have my own parents. I am free now."
The smiling face is filled with tears, feeling aggrieved and stubborn.
Gu Chongguang looked at this scene, his fingertips moved slightly, he didn't know what he was thinking, he just said: "Madam, no matter when. The Marquis' Mansion will always be your home."
She seemed stunned by these words and lowered her head.
"Ah."
She clenched her palms tightly, and after a while she said, "My uncle and aunt have never liked me. When I was a child, they even asked Nanny to pinch me and not let me eat. I used to tolerate it, but now, I won't."
She looked at him, her eyes serious:
"Husband, I will take back my parents' things. Even if I confiscate them, I won't let any of them get away with it..."
Gu Chongguang heard her words and saw her determined eyes. He nodded solemnly to show his support. Madam, this is what she deserves. Why do those people who are worse than pigs and dogs enjoy what belongs to her? He thought about what happened just now and asked:
"Madam said, do you have the list of property left by your father and mother?"
"Yes." Sheng Huan nodded: "When I was a child, I went to the Su Mansion in Beijing. In fact, my father's trusted butler, Uncle Zhao, was with me. Uncle Zhao gave it to me and asked me to keep it well. Uncle Zhao also told me that before being taken back to Beijing by my uncle, he had reported his property to the government in Jinzhou, but later..."
She paused: "I will never see Uncle Zhao again..."
This really happened in the original owner's memory, but Su Ronglie and the others had always been on guard against Uncle Zhao, and Uncle Zhao later left the house and never disappeared.
Su Ronglie and his wife unilaterally informed the original owner that Uncle Zhao had returned to his hometown.
But this is almost impossible. Uncle Zhao grew up in the original owner's home. He is a family-born child and has no hometown.
After Uncle Zhao, the pillar of support, left, the maids and servants that the original owner brought from home, as well as all the servants who had signed indentures, disappeared one after another. Even the list of property disappeared when the original owner was no longer around, and it was obvious who had taken it.
But it didn't matter. Because of her grief, the original owner regarded the property list as a symbol of missing her parents. She recited it over and over again until she knew it by heart. She even wrote down many copies. Although she was afraid of being discovered, she burned many copies, but some copies were left after all. The government in Jinzhou also had a backup. Perhaps it was because of this property list that the original owner was not completely destroyed and brainwashed no matter how he was belittled and tortured by the Su family.
"Gone?" Gu Chongguang didn't believe that it was simply missing.
"Yes, my aunt and uncle both told me that Uncle Zhao went back to his hometown, but I don't believe it. After my parents left, Uncle Zhao loved me the most. He would tell me everything he did. He would not leave without saying goodbye."
Gu Chongguang thought thoughtfully: "I will send someone to check his news."
He added: "Since Uncle Zhao said that the case has been filed with the Jinzhou government, there must be a record. When the time comes, I will have someone go to Jinzhou to get it. With the official documents, Su Ronglie and the others can't shirk their responsibility."
"Besides, when a woman gets married, her dowry list will be registered with the government, and your mother's dowry list will also be found out."
It would not be easy for Su Ronglie and his men to swallow up the woman's dowry list.
But the difficulty lies in one thing. Even if the lady does not live well in the Su family, people will still think that she was raised by Su Ronglie and others. If she is too important to the Su family, people may have different ideas.
He had to think of a way to make the Su family willingly return all of Madam's things.
"Thank you, husband."
Sheng Huan's eyelids twitched slightly, and he was also thinking about what to do. It has been almost eight years since the Su family used the property of the original owner. They squandered it so much, who knows how much is left.
No matter how much is left, they have to spit out what they have eaten.
Gu Chongguang was about to say something when the carriage stopped unexpectedly. The woman's body suddenly leaned forward due to inertia. Gu Chongguang, who practiced martial arts, remained motionless. However, when he saw Sheng Huan fall out, he quickly reached out his arm and grabbed her into his arms.
She bumped into it all of a sudden; the man's chest was hard.
She was still in shock and subconsciously looked up. The woman's eyes were still particularly hazy with traces of tears. The man just lowered his head at this moment.
Their eyes met, too close.
For a moment, both of them froze.
"Second Master, Second Madam, a child just rushed over." Outside, the driver spoke anxiously: "Are you and Second Madam okay?"
"Nothing." Gu Chongguang's Adam's apple rolled slightly and he let go of Sheng Huan's hand.
Sheng Huan sat stiffly, looking obedient.
There was no conversation along the way and no one looked at each other.
"Xu."
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped.
"Second Master, Second Madam, we have arrived at the Marquis' Mansion."
The driver's voice came from outside, breaking the silence inside the car.
Gu Chongguang coughed and said, "I have something else to do in the barracks, Madam, please go back first."
"Yeah." Sheng Huan nodded and took two steps forward.
Then, she suddenly turned around and kissed Gu Chongguang on the cheek before he could react.
Gu Chongguang looked up in surprise, his heart skipping a beat.
When the woman was looked at by his eyes, the morning glow surged on her fair cheeks, her eyes moved with shyness, joy and seriousness, and she bit her pearly teeth lightly.
"Husband, thank you for your support today, you are so kind..."
After she finished speaking, her face started to burn and she ran away.
When she escaped from the carriage, Gu Chongguang did not move, as if his whole body was stuck to the seat. Until the curtain was lowered again, no one noticed that inside the carriage, a blush suddenly rose up behind Gu Chongguang's ears, which was particularly red!
The man unconsciously touched the right side of his cheek; his fingertips were trembling and his face was burning. A certain secret corner of his heart finally softened when its owner was unconscious, and the excitement returned to the bottom of his heart.

Sheng Huan returned to Shaoguangyuan and asked Siyun to go to her warehouse to find something.
"Ma'am, I found it."
Siyun came back and quickly handed a few inconspicuous booklets to Sheng Huan.
Sheng Huan took it and examined it carefully. What was written in the booklet was the property and dowry of the original owner's parents. After finding no problems, she closed the booklet.
"When my husband comes back tonight, remember to remind me to give this booklet to him."
"Yes, ma'am."
