Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

When Qian saw that Nanny Li was still standing there motionless, she was obviously reminded of what happened last time and her face turned blue with anger.

"Gu Xunwei, you you you..." Her lips trembled, and she pointed at Gu Xunwei for a long time without saying a word.

Gu Xunwei didn't care about her anger at all. Instead, she sat calmly on a chair beside her. She winked at Chenxiang, and Chenxiang walked up to her and put the stack of IOUs in his hand next to her.

"This is the IOU that the Xie family wrote to me. The total is 3,800 taels. Apart from the 1,200 taels that my mother gave me during the perfume-testing competition, I still need to pay back 2,600 taels. I wonder how my mother and husband plan to pay me back?"

After Gu Xunwei finished speaking, her eyes wandered between the two of them, and finally fixed her eyes on Xie Chengan.

"Does my husband have any ideas?"

Xie Chengan was also furious at this time. He wanted to hit her after hearing his words, but he still endured it after all these years of upbringing. "Gu Xunwei, what are you doing? Are you starting to settle scores now? Are you trying to draw a line between us?"

"My husband, you are too kind. I am only telling you that this house only cost 2,100 taels of silver, and you still owe me 500 taels after paying it off. So now you are living in my house. If something really happens that day and makes me unhappy, you will really have to pack up and leave."

After she finished speaking, she no longer wanted to continue watching them make fun of themselves. Chenxiang supported him and was about to walk out. At this time, a group of guards came hurriedly in from the Chuihua Gate and were walking towards this side.

Gu Xunwei knew the leader, who was Yan Nangui, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

"Lord Yan, what is this?" Gu Xunwei asked with some confusion. Before the other party answered, she turned around and looked at the three people who followed out from Rongdeyuan.

Yan Nangui bowed to Gu Xunwei and then said, "Thank you Madam Xie for your courtesy. I came here to see Mr. Xie for something."

Although Xie Chengan felt uneasy, he had no choice but to step forward and said, "Xie Chengan, hello to Lord Yan. What's the matter?"

Although Xie Cheng'an is currently only a seventh-rank official, he still holds an official position. Naturally, it is impossible for him to be taken away without explanation like he took away Gu Ziheng and the others.

"The Imperial Physician Zhang who diagnosed Madam Xie that day went to the Dali Temple and said that he had figured out that Madam Xie's condition was caused by poisoning. So he came here today to bring a few of you to the Dali Temple to investigate the case."

Yan Nangui said that he was questioning the case, but in fact it was just an interrogation, but before convicting them, he had to give them some face.

Xie Cheng'an's heart immediately began to beat wildly, but he asked in surprise, "What? How could it be poisoned? Can Imperial Doctor Zhang tell me what the poison is?"

His concern was too superficial, and Yan Nangui easily noticed his nervousness, so he said calmly, "It's the same poison that Madam Xie's father was poisoned with. Don't you think it's strange?"

With a loud "boom", Xie Cheng'an and Qian's hearts were buzzing as if thunder had exploded. This Gu Qiongsi was really more of a hindrance than a help. How could things develop to this point?

"Does Mr. Xie have anything to say?" Yan Nangui still left room for Xie Cheng'an to see if he wanted to confess first, so as to avoid the need to take him to the Dali Temple.

"I really don't know about this matter. Gu and Aunt Gu are cousins. Logically, this kind of thing shouldn't happen."

Xie Cheng'an was ashamed. He couldn't throw dirty water on Gu Qiongsi anymore, for he was worried that if the news got to Prince An, he would stop using Gu Qiongsi's ideas. However, the only connection between this incident and Gu Ziyu's poisoning was Gu Qiongsi.

Qian Shi didn't care about so much. She walked to Xie Cheng'an and said nervously, "Lord Yan, Brother An is an official appointed by the court. You can't take him away before the matter is clear. If this gets out, how will he live in the future?"

"If you hand over the person who poisoned the person and prove that it is indeed not your fault, I will not arrest you. But if I cannot find that person, you will have no choice but to go to the Dali Temple with me for questioning. I hope Madam Xie will understand."

Yan Nangui usually doesn't talk much, and it is usually Deputy General Niu who says these words. However, today, facing Xie Chengan, he still gave him enough face and said many polite words. After all, he is Gu Xunwei's husband.

And Gu Xunwei is Sang Mo's savior.

Unfortunately, Xie Chengan and Qian's performance disappointed him. Qian said, "At that time, Wei'er's illness was treated by a famous doctor invited by Gu Qiongsi. The medicines were also prescribed by the so-called famous doctor. If there was any problem, she should have gone to see the famous doctor."

Xie Chengan also thought of this and nodded repeatedly. If he pushed the case to the famous doctor, Gu Qiongsi would not be implicated.

"Yes, Lord Yan, is it because my father-in-law in Liuzhou and his family also sought treatment from this famous doctor, that's why there is such a coincidence?"

Yan Nangui looked disappointed and said to Deputy General Niu behind him, "Take them back, and take the housekeeper and this nanny with you as well."

He was referring to Nanny Li, because she had turned pale, her legs were shaking, and her face was covered in cold sweat.

It was clear at first glance that this old woman must know something.

Qian wanted to struggle and shouted something, but when she saw Xie Chengan shaking his head at her, she had to calm down. Several people were quickly taken out by the guards.

After all these people left, only Yan Nangui, Gu Xunwei, and her two maids, Chenxiang and Baizhi, were left in the hall.

"Lord Yan, please take a seat." Gu Xunwei no longer looked sick. She knew that Yan Nangui had a lot to ask her, so she didn't hesitate and directly asked him to sit down and talk in detail.

Yan Nangui was not polite either. He bowed and sat on the chair.

Chen Xiang quickly brought hot tea, and the fragrant tea aroma immediately filled the entire hall. Yan Nangui's mood also improved a lot. At this time, he asked, "Madam Xie, I am very curious about Mr. Nanshan's affairs. How did you know?"

He was referring to the day when Gu Xunwei asked Bai Zhi to inform them to arrive near Louwailou in advance and be ready to arrest people at any time.

"After all, Mr. Nanshan is a well-known virtuous man in the capital, and he looks like an immortal. It is difficult for people to connect him with what happened that day. I have been thinking hard for a long time, but I still find it difficult to accept such a Mr. Nanshan. I hope Madam Xie can help me solve my doubts."

What Yan Nangui could never accept in his heart was that he had dealt with him so many times but had never discovered Mr. Nanshan's true face.
