Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

When Gu Qiongsi heard his words, her face immediately turned pale and she looked at Wizard Mingluo in horror, with disbelief in her eyes. She didn't believe what Wizard Mingluo said was true.

How could Wizard Mingluo have evidence? He was very careful when doing these things.

However, Wizard Mingluo was also very cunning. After he said this, he did not tell it directly to Yan Nangui and Deputy General Niu, but whispered a few words to Deputy General Niu in a low voice. After hearing this, Deputy General Niu took a few people and walked out.

It took about a cup of tea for them to come back. The guard was holding a medicine box that was as tattered as the robes of Wizard Mingluo. It was made of wood and the eight corners were fixed with patches.

When Wizard Mingluo saw the medicine box, he grabbed it and said, "It should be here, it must be here, I'll look for it... Haha, I found it, I found it."

After he finished speaking, he raised his right hand high, holding a small object in his hand. Gu Qiongsi took a closer look and found that it was a gold hairpin with fairly fine workmanship.

"This golden hairpin was accidentally dropped by Miss Gu when she saved me. I wanted to find an opportunity to return it to Miss Gu, but unfortunately there was no suitable opportunity, so I kept it and forgot about it over time."

It was rare that he was so poor and destitute that he was still able to preserve this golden hairpin intact.

"How do you prove that this gold hairpin belongs to Aunt Gu?" Deputy General Niu took the hairpin, looked at it back and forth, and then asked with some confusion.

"Your Excellency may not know that some young ladies from wealthy families would engrave a character from their names in a hidden place on these ornaments. Can you see if there is a character 'Si' engraved on the handle of the hairpin?"

At this time, the wizard Mingluo opened one shrewd eye and looked at Deputy General Niu with spirited look.

Deputy General Niu followed his words and changed the golden hairpin into two more positions. He finally saw the word that Wizard Mingluo mentioned, "Sir, there is indeed a word 'Si', the Si of Gu Qiongsi."

Yan Nangui nodded, ignoring Gu Qiongsi's momentary confusion, and cast his gaze towards Wizard Mingluo, smiling and saying, "Wizard Mingluo, you performed well this time. You can keep your only remaining eye for now, but I want to keep the hand that makes poison this time."

"No, no, don't, Lord Yan, I have really retired, really. Look, in these three years, I have only made poison for my savior this time, and I asked her at that time, and she didn't use it to harm people." Wizard Mingluo was so scared that he knelt on the ground and trembled.

Three years ago, when Gu Qiongsi saved him, he was blinded in one eye by Yan Nangui and almost died. At that time, he didn't know who that man was. At that time, Yan Nangui was not the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, but just a young man traveling around.

At that time, Yan Nangui discovered that the wizard Mingluo was selling all kinds of poisons everywhere, and even helped those evil people to do evil, so he taught him a lesson and warned him that if he sold poison again in the future, he would chop off his hands.

Unexpectedly, he only did it once and fell into Yan Nangui's hands again.

"Take him away." How could Yan Nangui listen to his explanation? He only did it once, and two lives were lost. How could he let him go so easily?

Deputy General Niu ignored the wizard Mingluo's shouting and took him out with two guards who were still struggling. From the sound, he should be gradually walking away.

Although Gu Qiongsi was panicking at this moment, her brain was still spinning rapidly. Seeing Yan Nangui looking at her, she smiled and said, "Lord Yan, you will not convict me based on such a hairpin, right?"

"All of my jewelry has words engraved on it. Many of them were given to servants as rewards, and some were given to Gu Xunwei. Even if this hairpin once belonged to me, it cannot prove that I was the one who bought the poison from Wizard Mingluo."

Yan Nangui shook his head. "I have been in charge of the Dali Temple for more than a year and have tried countless prisoners. Some people are just not smart enough. I give them a chance to speak, but they fail to recognize the situation and have to wait until I torture them before they are willing to tell the truth. Aunt Gu, do you think they are ridiculous?"

Yan Nangui spoke in a low voice, turned his back, and didn't even bother to look at her.

Gu Qiongsi opened his mouth, but eventually closed it, and sat on the ground, not knowing how to answer...

Just one night had passed, and everyone involved in the case had pleaded guilty. However, since neither Gu Ziyu nor Gu Xunwei caused any substantial harm, the case was considered attempted murder and they were temporarily detained in jail, awaiting their fate.

When Gu Xunwei heard the result that Bai Zhi had found out, she secretly gave Yan Nangui a thumbs up in her heart. It was really not easy to make Gu Qiongsi plead guilty so quickly.

"Let's go, let's go see Dingxiang." Gu Xunwei took Baizhi and went to Acacia Courtyard.

After they were captured, Chunxiu also disappeared. In the huge Xiangsi Courtyard, only Dingxiang was left to take care of two-month-old Xie Rui.

Normally, Aunt Gu was there every day, and Ding Xiang didn't dare to slack off at all. But now she heard that Aunt Gu and Xie Cheng'an were arrested by the Dali Temple, and her mind was in a mess. She even doubted whether Aunt Gu and the others could come back.

What should I do if I can't come back?

She didn't have the energy to take care of Xie Rui anymore. She was too lazy to even hold him in her arms and just let him cry in his crib.

I was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.

So when Gu Xunwei and the others walked into Acacia Courtyard, they heard Xie Rui's intermittent crying. It was unclear whether he was crying because he was hungry or had an upset stomach.

"Dingxiang, what are you daydreaming about? Didn't you hear the young master crying?" Baizhi spoke immediately, startling the dazed Dingxiang.

When he saw that it was Gu Xunwei and Bai Zhi coming over, he was so scared that he quickly jumped up and saluted, then turned around and picked up the crying Xie Rui.

"Young... Madam, the young master has always been like this. He cries every day and no matter how we coax him, it won't work, so, so..." Ding Xiang wanted to explain anxiously, but she realized halfway through that even if the young master cried every day, she shouldn't just let him cry and do nothing.

So, I had to keep my mouth shut.

"In a few days, Aunt Gu and the others should be back. You have to be more attentive here. The young master is difficult to bring up, so you have to be more attentive." Gu Xunwei did not scold her, but patiently explained to her.
