Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

The room fell silent for a moment, but Gu Xunwei could no longer look at the account book.

The goose pear fragrance in the Lian family's tent will probably be hard to be seen again.

"I didn't even know that Madam Xie still cared about the Lian family's affairs." A voice suddenly came from the door, and it turned out to be the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Gu Xunwei quickly stood up from the small couch, tidied her appearance a little, and then stood still to salute Li Junhao.

"I didn't know Your Highness would come, and I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope Your Highness will forgive me." Gu Xunwei was a little at a loss. After all, this was her room. Did the prince come here once last time and he just happened to be on this way?

You come here in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of being discovered? Do you still want to maintain your reputation?

"Stand up, and don't go through all these formalities when you meet next time." Li Junhao came in and found that Gu Xunwei was still straightening her wrinkled clothes. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

"Okay, Madam Xie, there's no need to be so formal. His Highness came here today to talk to you about the Lian family." Sang Mo and Ye Ying also followed Li Junhao in, and Sang Mo hurriedly said to Gu Xunwei.

Gu Xunwei paused for a moment, then quickly looked at Sang Mo, "What exactly is going on with the Lian family?"

She felt it was strange in her previous life, and it was even more so in this life. Moreover, the timing was just right, just when Prince An was under house arrest.

"This should be done by the head of the Lian family himself. He is like a gecko cutting off its tail to survive." Gu Xunwei immediately understood what Li Junhao said simply.

No wonder she always felt that something was fishy going on with the Lian family. It turned out to be like this. They were now using this incident to draw a clear line between themselves and Prince An in order to ensure the safety of their entire family.

And in the previous life, they should have meant the same thing, that their father would be targeted by King An only after something happened to them.

“In that case, I feel that if we open a branch in the future, it will not be appropriate to use the name Wangyulou. Instead, we should establish another brand to create a competitive environment and avoid a monopoly that would be coveted by others,” Gu Xunwei analyzed.

Li Junhao nodded, agreeing with her idea.

"Just take care of the business operations. When you need help, let Bai Zhi find Sang Mo." Li Junhao didn't want to say more about the incense shop. He simply mentioned it in one sentence and stated the main purpose of his visit.

"Hu Er, I'm going to move this chess piece. I wonder if Madam Xie has anything to say?" Li Junhao's tone grew cold. He picked up the tea and found that it was Gu Zhu Zisun. This tea was also served in his East Palace all year round. It turned out that Gu Xunwei drank the same tea as him.

And looking at the quality of this tea, it is not inferior to my own at all.

Unexpectedly, this unknown Gu family is actually a low-key invisible wealthy family.

How could he know that this was the tea that the prince liked, which Gu Xunwei had specially found after asking Sang Mo, and was brewed especially for him today.

Gu Xunwei was a little surprised. "Your Highness Prince An has been confined to Prince An's Mansion. Why would His Highness want to attack Hu Er now?"

She guessed that something might have happened in the palace, which was why His Highness rushed over in such a hurry, and Hu Er might be of some use in holding Prince An hostage.

Li Junhao did not answer, Sang Mo described the current situation for him.

It turned out that ever since Prince An was put under house arrest, there has been no peace, especially his mother and grandfather. They have been constantly telling the emperor that the last incident in Xiangyang City was simply someone's conspiracy, and that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince benefited too much from this incident, which made people suspicious.

It is said that His Royal Highness Prince An has always been sensible and law-abiding. This time he must have been bewitched by someone and did such a rebellious thing. What's more, it is possible that Prince An did not know about this matter at all, but his servants were bewitched by others.

As the emperor grew older, he valued the advice of his ministers more and more. After listening to their words so many times, he couldn't help but believe them a little more. Now the emperor's prejudice against Concubine Yu has almost been resolved and he has restored his previous favor for her, but he has not yet restored her position.

However, if things continue like this, it is only a matter of time before I regain my position.

If it were just that, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might not be so angry, but early this morning, the Emperor issued an oral decree that May 26th is the Queen Mother's birthday, and Prince An's house arrest will be lifted at that time.

Counting the days, from April 9th ​​to May 26th, there is only about a month and a half. Prince An did such a hateful thing, but it was just covered up so easily. How could Li Junhao not be angry?

It was not because the emperor’s punishment was too light, but because he felt that Li Junze had actually made a fuss about his late mother’s birthday, and his father had actually let them off.

Gu Xunwei naturally didn't know that April 9th ​​was the birthday of the late queen. After all, when she married Xie Cheng'an in her previous life, the late queen had passed away for many years, and she had never attended the queen's birthday banquet.

However, she felt that the usually cold Crown Prince actually had a trace of sadness on his face, which made her not as afraid of the Crown Prince as before. After all, he also had the necessary emotional changes, which was a good thing.

"If Your Highness wants to touch Hu Er, then," Gu Xunwei stopped talking, looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and waved at Sang Mo, asking him to lean over.

Li Junhao looked at the two people whispering in each other's ears and felt a little unhappy. He closed his eyes and looked away. This Gu Xunwei was too cautious. She was actually whispering in each other's ears in her own yard.

Then Sang Mo suddenly asked, "Is it true?"

Gu Xunwei shook her head slightly, and then said, "It's just a guess at the moment, but you can try to trick him, especially using Gu Qiongsi's matter to trick him, and you should get something in return."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you very much, ma'am, for your advice."

"Captain Sang, you are too polite. I don't deserve your advice."

"What Mrs. Xie mentioned is very important. It is of great help to our interrogation of Hu Er. We should thank you."

The two of them actually became so polite, and Li Junhao's face became darker and darker. Ye Ying felt something was wrong and could only cough softly to remind Sang Mo not to go too far.

Sang Mo quickly bowed to Gu Xunwei, and then said to Li Junhao, "Your Highness, let's go back to the palace. I will tell you everything later... Okay?"

He also saw that the usually calm Crown Prince was now staring at him coldly. He realized that he seemed to have gone too far just now, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
