Chapter 532 What should I do if my husband wants to travel to the modern world?
When Gu Hengqing returned home in the afternoon after finishing his work, he saw the smiling Shi, the butler.
Butler Shi's joy was visible to the naked eye. When he saw Gu Hengqing, he hurried forward and bowed.
"My Lord! You are back. The kitchen has prepared some new dishes. You must try them later!"
Gu Hengqing didn't comment: "Where's Chongguang?"
When the housekeeper heard this, he laughed even more clearly: "Oh, Lord Marquis, you asked the Second Master, you don't know, the Second Master has been staying in Shaoguang Courtyard since he came back!"
He muttered to himself, nagging: "There is a saying that goes, 'A short separation is better than a new marriage. My Lord, this is exactly what the Second Master and the Second Madam are like now!"
Gu Hengqing didn't say anything else and left.
Butler Shi was accustomed to the temperament of his own Marquis, and thought to himself that the Marquis was worthy of being an unmarried man, so he just didn't understand these things, unlike him, who was an experienced person.
Butler Shi thought again, the Second Master is a military general, and the Second Madam might not be able to bear it. No, the Second Madam must not be too exhausted.
The butler immediately gave orders.
"You, go to the kitchen and ask Mr. Li to make some more nourishing meals. Make sure they are delicious and send them to Shaoguangyuan for dinner!"
The butler was in a very good mood and wanted to sing a song.

Su Mansion.
Su Ninghui was also persuaded.
"Ning Hui, that's the Duke of Cheng. He has a very noble status! If you please him and give birth to a child in the future, that child will be the Duke of Cheng's youngest child. You will be able to have whatever you want in the future!"
"Our Su family is counting on you. Ning Hui, think about it again. The wife of a county duke is old. If you can make it through, you might become the wife of a county duke in the future. We have examples of concubines being promoted to wives."
"When the time comes, Su Hewei won't even be worthy of carrying your shoes!"
Su Ninghui heard this, and ambition flashed in her eyes. After all, the Duke of Cheng was a noble, and no other family could possibly compare to the Marquis's Mansion. She would not be willing to be inferior to Su He in the future!

Outside the Chengjun Mansion, afternoon.
A green sedan chair was carried into the mansion.
At the same time, an angry female voice was heard in Qiu Shui Courtyard, the residence of the Sixth Miss of Cheng County Mansion.
"How could father allow the Su family's daughter to enter the mansion, even if she is a lowly concubine! Mother, you know that last time, Su Yaozu not only dared to speak foul language to me, but also dared to touch me. Even if I let him suffer in prison for the rest of his life, I will not let him out!"
"It would be hard to relieve the hatred in my heart unless that kind of person dies miserably!"
Miss Cheng Liu threw herself into the arms of her mother, Madam Cheng, and cried like a tearful person, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Okay, stop crying. Your father has always loved you and will not let Su Yaozu go. Your mother will not let Su Yaozu go either. You also know your father's temper. No matter who gives someone a gift, as long as they are a little pretty, he will never refuse. But it is difficult to get benefits from him..."
Miss Cheng Liu was still not satisfied: "Mother, I can't eat when I think of Su Ninghui in the mansion!"
"Then go talk to your father yourself." Mrs. Cheng was very steady: "You are your father's daughter who came of age. If you talk, your father will always compromise."
Miss Cheng Liu is indeed the daughter of an older man in the Cheng County mansion, and also the legitimate daughter. She has been doted on by her parents and brother since she was a child, and no one has ever let her suffer any injustice.
Except for that blind Su Yaozu.
With her mother's advice, Miss Cheng Liu stormed into Duke Cheng's study room with great momentum.

evening.
Sheng Huan sobered up, and when she woke up she found herself lying in Gu Chongguang's arms.
She stared at his face. The man was indeed handsome, with sharp features. He looked quite cool when he was asleep.
Thinking about what happened before, Sheng Huan secretly wondered, this man didn't look like he had no feelings, so why did he stop at the last moment.
She began to recall some details and things she might have overlooked...
Who would have thought that at this moment, Gu Chongguang opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he met the woman's eyes, and the back of his ears turned red.
"Husband." Sheng Huan came back to her senses, smiled at him, and leaned into his arms: "When did you come back?"
"Not yet."
Gu Chongguang was afraid that Sheng Huan would bring up what happened just now, so he quickly changed the subject: "Madam, Ling Song has already found out what happened in Jinzhou, and he has also obtained the documents from the government."
When Sheng Huan heard this, he was really attracted and grabbed his hand.
"How about it?"
Gu Chongguang said: "We will be able to get back the things left by my father-in-law and mother-in-law soon, but..."
He paused: "It's just that many years have passed, and Su Ronglie and the others have already spent most of the things they had. If they want to get them all back, even if they can make up for it, it will probably be difficult to make up for it all."
Sheng Huan was silent for a moment, clenched his fists, and suddenly looked up at Gu Chongguang.
"My husband, I heard that there is drought in many places in the south, and the court suggested donating money for disaster relief."
The court has argued many times about this matter, and the emperor is also very troubled. If no solution is given, many families may fall apart.
When Gu Chongguang heard this, he instantly understood what she meant and his eyes became dim.
"What do you think, madam?"
Sheng Huan nodded heavily, very pious: "Rather than giving these things to Su Ronglie and his people, it is better to use them to benefit the people. These things originally belonged to my parents. I only hope that God will bless my parents and allow them to be reborn into a good family in the next life and live a safe and smooth life."
Sheng Huan was not impulsive. After all, after donating these things, no one in Beijing would dare to bully her openly in the future. Whoever dared to bully her would be scolded to death. From then on, she had someone to support her.
Even if Gu Chongguang traveled through time in the future, Gu Hengqing got sick, and the child didn't grow up, she wouldn't have to worry.
Gu Chongguang looked at her and couldn't help but touch her head.
"Madam, righteousness."
Even if Su Ronglie and his men didn't send all these things back, it would still be a huge sum of money. I didn't expect the lady to be like this...
Sheng Huan smiled at him: "I am not as righteous as you think, my husband."
So cute.
Gu Chongguang moved his fingers again and rubbed her head.
She raised her face and smiled brightly.
-
Late at night, at the Duke of Cheng’s Mansion.
Su Ninghui hugged the quilt with a blush on her face.
"My Lord, my brother Yaozu..."
Duke Cheng, who was in a good mood and was getting dressed, suddenly turned cold: "Su, now that you have entered the mansion, don't think about the outside world!"
He threw up his sleeves and left.
