Chapter 554 What should I do if my husband wants to travel to the modern world?
Let’s not talk about Gu Chongguang in the modern world, and return to Dayu Dynasty.
It had been raining hazily in the spring for the past few days, and today it finally stopped, with warm sunshine shining softly.
Sheng Huan also finally went out for a walk.
She held her belly and saw a familiar figure from afar. Her eyes widened:
"Ling Song!"
"Madam, Madam, you must have seen it wrong. Ling Song hasn't come back yet." Shi Hua was terrified. She didn't expect that Madam would see Ling Song by such a coincidence. She was now panicked and at a loss.
"No, that's Ling Song!" Sheng Huan was sure, and chased after him: "Isn't Ling Song at the border? He's back, so does my husband have to come back too!"
"Of course it is. Let's go!"
"Ma'am, ma'am!"
Shi Hua had no choice but to stop her, fearing that Sheng Huan would get excited on the road and something might happen, so she quickly helped her to catch up.
Ling Song was walking in front, in a daze, because he was unable to save the Second Master in time and witnessed his death with his own eyes. Now he was too ashamed to see the Second Madam, and he also had no face to live. His heart was filled with grief, so much so that he could not notice the subtle movements behind him.
Sheng Huan walked along, his pace unconsciously quickening.
Shi Hua was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. Fortunately, she met other servants along the way. She quickly winked at them and calmed down a little.
Therefore, Sheng Huan lost the person while chasing him.
She was distracted and immediately ordered:
"Shihua, go and ask Butler Shi to come over. I have something to ask him."
-
In the pavilion.
"Butler Shi, I just saw Lingsong, has the army returned?"
"Where is my husband? Where is he?" She looked very excited: "Is he coming back soon?"
When Butler Shi was called to the pavilion, he saw the Second Madam, whose eyes were excited but her face was pale. He smiled bitterly in his heart and used his best acting skills in his life, saying in confusion:
"Ah? Ling sent you off? No, Madam. The Second Master is still at the border and hasn't come back yet."
"Second Madam, are you missing the Second Master too much and you made a mistake?"
"No." Sheng Huan confirmed, his eyes were very stubborn: "I am not mistaken, that is Ling Song."
Seeing that he refused to tell the truth, she trembled slightly: "Butler Shi, tell me, is it..."
Her voice choked: "Did something happen to my husband..."
When the last word fell, tears fell with it.
"How is it possible!" Butler Shi's heart ached and he almost couldn't hold back his tears. He shook his head firmly and said, "Madam, you have to believe in the Second Master. The Second Master is so powerful, how could anything go wrong for him!"
"Yes, my husband is so powerful. How could anything go wrong?"
She muttered to herself, not knowing if she was trying to convince herself, her fingers were almost white from pinching.
Her behavior made Butler Shi panic.
-
After the housekeeper comforted Sheng Huan and sent her back to Shaoguang Courtyard, Ling Song walked out feeling annoyed and guilty.
"Lingsong, you have to hide well."
"I was careless." Ling Song, a tough guy, had red eyes.
Butler Shi sighed: "How is Ling Bei?"
"The injury is almost healed, and I can stand up now."
Ling sent him off. Finally, he asked, "Butler Shi, is the Second Madam... okay?"
Butler Shi shook his head and sighed: "It's okay for now."
"Go, burn some incense for the Second Master."
-
In the capital, there is a magnificent mansion somewhere.
"Oh?" A man in a golden robe drank the wine in one gulp: "You mean, Gu Hengqing postponed Gu Chongguang's funeral for the time being? And the higher-ups agreed to it."
"Yes." The masked subordinate responded.
The golden-robed man raised his lips slightly: "His brother is dead, but he didn't hold a funeral and didn't allow guests to come into the house to pay their respects. Why?"
The subordinate muttered something and the man in gold laughed.
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that Gu Chongguang has a pregnant wife. She can't stand any stimulation right now. No wonder he kept it a secret from her."
The man in gold sneered: "The Gu family, Gu Chongguang is dead, Gu Hengqing is not good enough, so they can only count on their brother's children to inherit the title."
The masked subordinate said nothing.
The man in gold raised his hand, as if bored, "Go, find a way to get someone into the mansion and spread this 'good news' to Madam Gu."
"I want her and her child..."
"All die!"
There was a fierce look in the man's eyes.
-
Ever since Sheng Huan encountered Ling Song that day, Gu Hengqing asked everyone in the Marquis' Mansion to be vigilant and not to make mistakes again.
As a result, the Marquis' Mansion was strictly managed by the Butler Shi. Ling Song and Ling Bei did not dare to appear in Shaoguang Courtyard. However, some things could not withstand the deliberate calculations of others.
Sheng Huan has been feeling listless these days and couldn't help but have wild thoughts.
When Aunt You saw this, she felt distressed and advised:
"Second Madam, the peonies in the yard are in bloom. They are so beautiful. How about I help you go and have a look?"
Siyun and Shihua also responded: "Yes, madam, it is really beautiful. I just passed by and was almost dizzy with the fragrance."
Sheng Huan was moved by their conversation and finally nodded.
"Then go out and take a look."
Right in their own yard, Nanny You and the others felt relieved.
Nanny You supported Sheng Huan and when they turned a corner, they heard two unfamiliar voices talking in front of them.
"I just saw in the front yard that a friend of the Second Master came to burn incense."
"Alas, the Second Madam is so pitiful. She became a widow at such a young age. I heard that the Second Master died tragically, and no trace of his body was left."
Sheng Huan was startled when she heard this. Her breathing became rapid and her face turned pale. She suddenly grabbed You Ma's hand. She felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen and her eyes went dark: "Husband...what on earth is wrong with my husband...what on earth is wrong with him..."
When Nanny You and the other two saw that she was about to fall, their faces changed drastically.
"Second Madam!"
"lady!"
