Chapter 549 What should I do if my husband wants to travel to the modern world?
Gu Hengqing's heart suddenly sank, and his eyes became darker without him knowing it.
He didn't know that it was just a woman's mistaken word "husband" that almost caused his emotions that he had suppressed for so many years to collapse...
He knew clearly that the person she was calling was not him.
The woman in the distance has bright eyes, white teeth and a sweet smile.
Her rosy cheeks seemed to be filled with love, and her gaze was filled with tenderness. Her slightly raised hand showed her happiness in seeing him.
Gu Hengqing stood there for an unknown number of moments, and finally, he walked over.
He approached and looked into her eyes. Deep in her calm eyes were surging emotions. He asked:
"Why are you here alone?"
He did not correct the address. Gu Hengqing felt very complicated, perhaps there was some kind of timidity, meanness and entanglement hidden in his heart. He wanted to know whether she could recognize him and Gu Chongguang.
The unknown emotions in his heart, which even he himself was not aware of, were playing tricks on him when he saw her, and even made him forget to restrain himself and forget to... stay away from...
As soon as he approached, Sheng Huan knew he had the wrong person.
She hesitated as she stood up, feeling a little embarrassed.
Sheng Huan had to admit that Gu Hengqing and Gu Chongguang looked exactly alike. When they put on the same clothes and restrained their temperament, they were almost indistinguishable from the real ones.
"Brother, brother."
Gu Hengqing's face darkened and her fingers paused as she adjusted her sleeves. She recognized him.
Gu Hengqing couldn't figure out whether he was happy or not.
He suppressed his emotions, and his voice was clear, like the impact of jade: "No need to get up, take care of yourself."
Sheng Huan nodded embarrassedly, sat back, and stirred the paper on the table with her white and tender fingertips, answering his words incoherently.
"I...Brother, I'm going out for a walk. I have servants with me. I'll be back soon."
"Yeah." Gu Hengqing nodded, his eyes dropped from her face to her bulging belly. When she was with him, she was never as relaxed as when she was in front of Chongguang, which made him feel indescribably annoyed, but he knew that this was reasonable, after all, Chongguang was her husband.
He said: "You are in a heavy body, so keep someone with you next time and be careful."
"Thank you for your concern, brother." Sheng Huan nodded.
In the pavilion, one person was standing and one was sitting. No one came closer. They all kept a good social distance. For a moment, there was silence.
Sheng Huan thought Gu Hengqing was going to leave, but he didn't expect him to suddenly speak.
Gu Hengqing's voice was very calm, as if he was asking casually: "Chongguang and I wear exactly the same clothes, and sometimes the housekeeper and Nanny You can't tell us apart. In the past, even my father and mother couldn't tell us apart. My sister-in-law has only been in the mansion for a few months, but she has a good eye."
"By the way, how did your sister-in-law recognize me?" The man looked over, and his reserved and steady manner didn't make people think too much.
“This…” Sheng Huan felt that this was a little strange, but she answered truthfully: “My brother and my husband have the same face, and there is really no difference when they wear the same clothes, but…”
"But I just feel that something is a little different..." She thought for a moment, and finally said with certainty: "Eyes, yes, eyes. The way my brother and husband look at me is a little different."
When Gu Chongguang looked at her, there was a burning passion in his eyes, and even though he was trying hard to suppress it, it almost jumped out of his eyes.
Gu Hengqing is profound and unpredictable.
"I see." Gu Hengqing nodded. He found that when she mentioned her younger brother, the smile in her eyes always curved into stars and her tone was exceptionally gentle.
Gu Hengqing pinched his fingers, acting like an elder brother, and said gently:
"The court is busy, Chongguang may not be back until very late. If you are tired, you can go back and rest first, and you don't have to wait for him."
“…Okay.” The woman nodded randomly and bit her lip, as if she was a little embarrassed: “I understand, brother.”
The man walked away, his steps steady and his air of nobility as always.
-
At that time, the Ministry of War.
Because of the border issue, Gu Chongguang was extremely busy and it was almost dark before he finished the task at hand.
He was talking about business with his men, and when he spread out the battle plan, his heart suddenly stagnated, and he felt a complex sense of melancholy and some unknown but suppressed emotions surrounding him.
Gu Chongguang was stunned by this sudden emotion.
"General Gu?"
"General Gu, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Chongguang came back to his senses after hearing the voice. He shook his head: "Nothing, continue."
I don't know what's wrong with my brother? He suddenly has this kind of emotion, and he can actually sense it directly.
Gu Chongguang had no doubt that it was his brother's emotions. He was even a little puzzled. After all, this was the first time in all these years that his brother couldn't control his emotions... right?
He shook his head. Now was not the time to think about these things. He would ask him when he got back.
In that moment of trance, Gu Chongguang wondered whether Ling Bei had gone to the mansion to tell He Wei that he might not be back until very late tonight and asked her not to sit and wait for him. Thinking of his wife waiting for him, Gu Chongguang felt a little distressed.
"General Gu, look at this topographic map..."
Gu Chongguang became busy again.

On Sheng Huan's side, Nanny You came back from urinating and saw a tall figure leaving from afar. She took a quick step forward.
"Oh, I've kept Madam waiting for so long."
Sheng Huan shook his head and said with a smile: "Madame You, you came back earlier than Siyun Shihua and the others."
Aunt You also laughed: "I am old, but I didn't expect that I am faster than those two young ones."
"Mammy, you are still as good as ever."
After laughing, Nanny You casually mentioned: "Second Madam, I came over just now and I think I saw the Second Master."
Sheng Huan was playing with the blood jade bracelet in her hand. When she heard this, she shook her head and said, "Mammy, you are wrong. That is not my husband, but my brother."
"My Lord?" Nanny You was surprised.
"Yes." Sheng Huan saw her surprise and explained: "My brother must have just returned home. He saw me sitting here alone and thought there were no servants around me, so he came over to ask."
When Nanny You heard this, she didn't think too much about it and nodded: "The Second Madam is in poor health. The Marquis may be worried that there is no one to take care of her."
Now, among everyone in the Marquis's Mansion, isn't the Second Madam the one who needs protection the most?
Sheng Huan didn't say anything and agreed with this.
Nanny You thought of the back figure she had just seen and smacked her lips: "The clothes that the Marquis is wearing are somewhat similar to those of the Second Master. Just looking at the back, I can hardly recognize him."
Sheng Huan looked at Aunt You in agreement, and he had obviously found a like-minded person: "They do look alike."
Sheng Huan didn't stay in the pavilion for long. After Siyun and the others came back, he had some snacks and then went back to Shaoguangyuan.
Not long after I returned, Ling Bei came.
"Madam, the Second Master sent a subordinate to bring you a message, telling you not to wait for him today. He will be back very late, so you can rest first."
"I understand." Sheng Huan nodded and told Ling Bei: "When you come back at night, tell your husband to be careful."
"Madam, rest assured. I will pass on the message to the Second Master."
