Chapter 530 What should I do if my husband wants to wear modern clothes?
It was almost late in the afternoon when Gu Hengqing went back home for something.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, he happened to meet Gu Chongguang who was also riding back on horseback.
Outside the Marquis' Mansion, when Gu Chongguang saw Gu Hengqing, he was slightly stunned, then he dismounted from his horse and walked over.
"Brother."
Gu Hengqing nodded: "Busy recently?"
Gu Chongguang said honestly: "A little bit."
The two brothers chatted casually and entered the mansion together. At this moment, Gu Hengqing suddenly said something.
"Chongguang, remember to return home even if you are busy."
Gu Chongguang didn't understand.
Gu Hengqing had no intention of explaining and asked, "Are you investigating your brother's mother's family?"
Gu Chongguang was surprised, but thinking that he had never hidden anything from his brother, he said truthfully: "My brother also knows some of my wife's situation. She was bullied, and as a husband, I can't just let it go. And her things should naturally be hers."
Gu Hengqing nodded, put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance: "Since my sister-in-law is already a member of our Marquis' Mansion, it should be her responsibility."
Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was very protective of their brother. Gu Chongguang did not notice anything unusual about his brother, nor did he suspect anything. He just asked something else: "Why did you come back at this time?"
"I came back to get something." Gu Hengqing looked solemn, not knowing what he was thinking of.
Seeing this, Gu Chongguang guessed: "Brother is worried about disaster relief."
Gu Hengqing's eyes were cold and he said, "There is drought in many places in the south. The higher-ups are discussing disaster relief, but... the burden on the national treasury is very heavy."
When talking about this, both brothers felt a little heavy.
Until they reached a fork in the road, the two said a few more words and then went their separate ways.
Gu Chongguang turned around and went directly to Shaoguangyuan.
He didn't notice that Gu Hengqing in front of him suddenly stopped for a moment and looked back at him.
-
In Shaoguang Courtyard.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, he felt as happy as if he were in the clouds. He also knew that Gu Chongguang had returned home and would be here soon.
She poured another glass of wine.
"Madam, drinking too much is harmful to your health."
Seeing her master drinking like this, Siyun felt a little regretful that she had mentioned the wine. What if the lady drank too much and got a headache?
But at the same time, she also really knew that because the Second Master had not returned home for a long time, the Lady really missed him and was worried.
"It's alright." Sheng Huan waved his hand and drank the wine in one gulp: "I'm not going to do anything anyway, so let's just have fun today."
No one noticed the glittering light that flashed across her eyes for a moment.
Disaster relief? Sheng Huan thought that this was a good opportunity to get his property back from Su Ronglie and the others.
-
Su Mansion.
When Su Ronglie came back from court, Madam Su rushed towards him, crying breathlessly.
"Master! Please save our Yaozu!"
Su Ronglie was exhausted from doing his job today and he didn't know if it was an illusion. No, it was not an illusion. He was just isolated by his colleagues.
When he heard Mrs. Su's words again, he was startled and grabbed Mrs. Su's arm without having time to think about the reason.
"What happened to Yaozu?!"
He also knew that Madam Su went to the prison to visit her son today. Madam Su looked like this, and his eyes blurred: "Could it be that someone bullied him?"
"It's Yaozu who's injured, sir!"
Su Ronglie’s eyes widened.
Madam Su cried out, "Master, you don't know that I couldn't even get into the prison cell today. The guards wouldn't let me in at all!"
"How could that be?" Su Ronglie didn't believe it: "Maybe you didn't spend enough money!"
"How is it possible! I even asked Nanny He to give me a gold ingot, but it was useless! Master, the yamen runner Zhang also said that it was arranged by the higher-ups!"
"Master, is it possible that Duke Cheng is not going to spare our Yaozu? You should think of a solution quickly! According to what the yamen runners Zhang said, if it is delayed for a few days, I am afraid that our Yaozu will..."
Su Ronglie's face turned bad when he heard this, and he made a decision immediately: "There is no time to lose, go and call Ning Hui over!"
Mrs. Su was stunned and stopped crying: "Master, you are, you are..."
Su Ronglie did not allow any doubt: "What else can we do now! That's Ning Hui's biological brother. Without her biological brother, she thought she would be fine in the future!"
Su Ronglie became angrier as he spoke: "If she hadn't offended General Gu and Su Hewei last time, why would I resort to such a desperate measure! Besides, Duke Cheng is the Duke of the County, how could I humiliate her!"
"But sir, Duke Cheng is almost half buried in the ground..." Madam Su was still hesitating, choking with sobs.
Su Ronglie waved his sleeves: "If you want Yaozu to get into trouble, then continue your womanly kindness!"
When her weak spot was mentioned, Mrs. Su's crying suddenly stopped.
-
Shaoguangyuan.
When Gu Chongguang arrived at Shaoguangyuan, for some reason, he felt uneasy and his mood was indescribably complicated.
"Second Master!"
"Second Master, you are back! Madam was just talking about you! She will be very happy to know that you are back!"
"I will go and inform the Madam right away!"
In the room, Shihua, who was about to go to the kitchen to make some sobering tea, saw Gu Chongguang when she came out. She was so happy that she bowed and wanted to go back to the room to tell Sheng Huan.
Gu Chongguang didn't have time to say anything, he only saw her afterimage.
Thinking of what Shi Hua had just said, Gu Chongguang's heart skipped a beat and felt hot. No matter how hard he tried to suppress it, the heat always came out from somewhere else.
The maid is so happy, is it because the lady thinks of her often?
Because of this guess, Gu Chongguang's heart beat faster than usual.
When he entered the room, his steps were visibly faster.
"Madam, the Second Master is back!"
As soon as Gu Chongguang came in, his eyes subconsciously only saw the woman sitting at the table drinking by herself.
She was wearing a pink skirt today, and perhaps because she had drunk some wine, her movements were a little slow. When she heard this, she didn't react for a long time.
Then, she raised her eyes blankly, as if she saw something. Her pupils suddenly dilated, her eye circles turned red instantly, and tears filled her eyes.
"Husband..."
In Gu Chongguang's eyes, a woman with a face as rosy as a peach appeared, but he only saw her grievance. Seeing her like this, he felt a sharp pain somewhere in his heart.
"Yes! Madam, it's the Second Master! I just went out and happened to see the Second Master. The Second Master is really back!"
Shihua didn't notice Gu Chongguang's figure behind her.
Before she could say anything else, she was stopped by Siyun who came over. Then, she naturally saw Gu Chongguang. Shihua didn't say anything more and followed Siyun away silently.
When the two maids left, they considerately closed the door.
