Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

After Mrs. Du finished speaking, she felt extremely upset. She had to give her daughter away because she was afraid of being beaten. She was really worried that her daughter would hate her because of this.

Gu Qiongsi still didn't say anything, and there was even a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

"Why, Aunt Gu, are you trying to say that you were the one who asked someone to give the potion and the letter to your mother?" Lieutenant General Niu looked at her expression and probably guessed what she was going to say.

Gu Qiongsi nodded and said, "It was just over a month ago when I was out of confinement. I don't remember asking anyone to bring anything to mother. Did mother remember it wrongly?"

"Ah?" Mrs. Du was a little surprised for a moment. How could it be possible? At that time, she saw that the letter was indeed written in her daughter's handwriting. She raised her eyes and saw Gu Qiongsi's eyes looking at her, which were also full of surprise and surprise.

"That's easy. Madam Gu, do you still have the letter you received at that time?" Deputy General Niu sneered in his heart. He expected Gu Qiongsi's performance. "Ask Madam Gu to take out the letter that was brought with the potion. We can confirm it by looking at the handwriting."

Mrs. Du had already understood what her daughter meant. She shook her head and said, "I saw that this was what was written, so I burned the letter at that time."

This makes sense, so Deputy General Niu then asked, "If this is the case, then we can only go find the person who sent you the letter. Who is he?"

Mrs. Du hesitated for a moment before speaking directly, "It was our neighbor Tang Feng. He usually travels back and forth between Liuzhou and Beijing for business. He helped deliver our correspondence, so I didn't think much of it at the time."

She was relieved and followed the ideas given by Gu Qiongsi, putting all the blame on Tang Feng.

"Well, after you finished the interrogation yesterday, I sent someone to find Tang Feng. He happens to come to the capital today. Isn't this a coincidence?" Deputy General Niu said with a smile, then waved his hand and asked someone to bring up a man who looked like a peddler.

"Are you Tang Feng?"

"Yes, I am Tang Feng." He knelt down, and looked around with his shrewd eyes, finally landing on the sitting Yan Nangui. He knew that he should be the presiding judge today, so he answered him.

"More than a month ago, did this Aunt Gu find you and ask you to help her bring a box back to her parents?" Lieutenant General Niu asked him.

"Yes, yes, I remember it very clearly. It was Chunxiu who gave it to me. She also gave me one or two taels of silver as a thank you gift." Tang Feng was a little nervous. He had been in business for many years and his biggest headache was dealing with the government, so he told him everything he knew.

"Who is Chunxiu?"

"Chunxiu is Aunt Gu's personal maid. She has been with Aunt Gu since she was a child. There have been many times when Aunt Gu needed to deliver a message or something, and it was Chunxiu who helped Aunt Gu find me." Tang Feng answered very naturally. He had already guessed in his heart that there might be something wrong with the things he delivered that day.

"Aunt Gu, do you remember?" Deputy General Niu turned and asked Gu Qiongsi, but the other party shook her head.

She seemed to be thinking about what happened during those days. Finally, she said "Oh", and then said, "I remember now. I did arrange for Chunxiu to go out that day, but she was to get medicine for my son, and she didn't send any boxes to my parents."

"This? How is it possible? Chunxiu was very nervous that day and repeatedly reminded me that I must hand it over to my aunt's mother personally because the things inside were very valuable, and she also said that it must not be too bumpy." Tang Feng has a good memory and he remembered that incident particularly clearly, so he was very sure when he spoke about it.

"Aunt Gu, please ask Chunxiu to come over and see what's going on." Deputy General Niu was still not in a hurry, as if everything was within his expectations.

"My Lord, Chunxiu has disappeared since early this morning. I don't know where she went. I looked for her for a long time when I went out to do some work this morning, but I couldn't find her. So I went out alone."

"What? She disappeared? This morning?" Deputy General Niu was finally a little surprised. He didn't expect that after following all the clues to the end, the key person was missing.

Gu Qiongsi was also surprised. He did not expect that it was such a coincidence that Chunxiu happened to leave the capital today. If he was looking for someone, he could certainly make her disappear temporarily, which would confirm that she had betrayed him.

"That's indeed the case. Please look into this carefully, sir." Gu Qiongsi was a little excited, but he suppressed his excitement and spoke calmly.

"You three, go out and look for Chunxiu wherever you can." Deputy General Niu asked the people behind him to go out, and then said,

"We will go find someone now. Aunt Gu, please stay with your parents and wait a little longer. I believe there will be news soon."

After saying this, he was about to have all of them imprisoned, but Gu Qiongsi said, "Sir, are you mistaken? The information you have now shows that this matter has nothing to do with me. At most, it is related to my maid. Why do you want to put me in jail?"

Her words sounded so innocent that Mrs. Du, who was standing by, began to doubt that those things were not sent by her daughter.

Deputy General Niu glanced at Yan Nangui, and when he saw that the boss had no other intentions, he frowned and said, "Why? You can think about it carefully inside."

They didn't even bother to reason with her. After she finished speaking, several people pushed the Du mother and son and Gu Qiongsi back into the cell where Gu Ziheng was.

Tang Feng was held in solitary confinement, right next to their cell.

Until things are clarified, all of them are suspects.

Xie Cheng'an came over at this time. Gu Qiongsi was arguing with her parents and brother. After listening to what happened over there, she found out that it happened yesterday morning, and she had not received any news at all, otherwise she would not be so passive.

Xie Cheng'an took out all the money he had and used it to bribe Gu Qiongsi, but he only had the time to meet her for a cup of tea, and he came under the pretext of delivering clothes.

Gu Qiongsi didn't care about her mother who was crying non-stop. She went to the most secluded corner with Xie Changan. Through the wooden bars of the cell, she lowered her voice and told Xie Changan about her plan.

Xie Cheng'an was very surprised. It turned out that Gu Qiongsi was arrested because of this.

Seeing Xie Chengan hesitating, neither saying yes nor no, Gu Qiongsi had to say, "If I am really involved in this matter, His Royal Highness Prince An will definitely not consider cooperating with me again. By then, we will all be finished."
