Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Gu Xunwei was counting the days in Xie's house, just waiting for the time when Qian and the others would suffer so much in prison that they would definitely beg her to sign the letter of apology so that she could get them out.

However, she really didn't expect that someone would come to the Xie Mansion so openly and ask her to forgive the two of them.

Gu Xunwei looked at the person in front of her. She didn't recognize him. It was a stranger.

"Madam Xie, don't worry too much. My name is Wen Jiaxiang, and I'm a former classmate of Mr. Xie. I came here because I heard about Mr. Xie's situation, and I came here specifically to ask Madam Xie to show some mercy." Wen Jiaxiang was ordered to come here as a lobbyist to do ideological work for Gu Xunwei.

Xi Gaoyuan beside him also bowed and said with a smile, "I am Xi Gaoyuan, and I am also a former classmate of Xie Zhuangyuan."

Gu Xunwei had someone serve tea, and then she said, "How could my husband be so worthy that you two could help him like this? I've never heard him mention it before."

"We haven't seen him for many years. This time we heard that he was in trouble, so we rushed here from Liuzhou." Wen Jiaxiang explained quickly.

Naturally, they had done their homework before coming. They knew that Xie Cheng'an had been studying in Liuzhou before and had only moved from Liuzhou to the capital three years ago. They even knew the details of the academy he attended in Liuzhou.

Gu Xunwei was only slightly confused, but she quickly adjusted herself. She then asked, "I wonder why the two of you came here today?"

Wen Jiaxiang cupped his hands and said, "We two also asked around and got the general idea of ​​what happened. I guess Mr. Xie and his men were confused for a moment and that's why they did something to hurt Madam Xie. Madam Xie, please forgive them this time for the sake of your marriage."

"After all, Mr. Xie studied hard for more than ten years and finally passed the imperial examination. However, he was deposed in this incident. He has learned a well-deserved lesson. Madam Xie, please sign the letter of apology as soon as possible. After all, the prison is cold and gloomy. If you stay there for a long time, you may develop chronic diseases."

Wen Jiaxiang's words were so sincere that Gu Xunwei almost believed what they said. After all, it was normal for Xie Chengan to have a few good classmates after studying for so many years.

Seeing that Wen Jiaxiang had explained his intention, Xi Gaoyuan took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket and placed them on the table next to Gu Xunwei. He then said ashamedly, "We also heard that Madam Xie's two incense shops were closed because of the failure in the incense tasting competition. This is the two thousand taels of silver notes that we put together. Please accept it, Madam Xie, to help you out of your urgent need."

Oh, two thousand taels? Gu Xunwei was shocked. Could Xie Chengan really have a classmate who was willing to give him two thousand taels of silver? She didn't believe it at all.

"You two are thoughtful, but the Dali Temple did not notify us to sign the letter of understanding. How did you know? If I sign the letter of understanding, can my husband really come back?" Gu Xunwei asked pretending to be ignorant.

A trace of contempt flashed in Wen Jiaxiang's eyes. She was indeed a merchant girl. She didn't even know such a simple thing, and yet she had the nerve to occupy the position of the top scholar's wife.

"We only found out about this after consulting our friends at the Dali Temple. Madam Xie, please hurry up and handle it so that Mr. Xie and his men will suffer less."

Wen Jiaxiang's words were sincere and heartfelt, and Gu Xunwei pretended to be very grateful, but she pushed the banknotes in her hand towards them and said, "I understand your intentions, but please take back these banknotes. The incense shop has been transferred and does not need them for turnover."

The two looked at each other, and Wen Jiaxiang had to put the other two banknotes in his arms on it, "This is all the savings we have, Madam Xie, please accept it."

They guessed what Gu Xunwei meant and had no intention of going to the Dali Temple. After all, they not only harmed her, but also tried to poison her father. No one could let them go just like that.

Gu Xunwei looked at the two of them coldly. Who do they think they are? Do they expect them to give up those scumbags just for two thousand taels?

"Mrs. Xie, just consider it as us apologizing to you on behalf of Mr. Xie. After all, you are still husband and wife now. Only when he is well can you be well, right?" Wen Jiaxiang was still trying to persuade Gu Xunwei.

Unfortunately, the other party was not moved at all. It seemed that they underestimated Gu Xunwei. In such a difficult situation, she was not moved by seeing so many banknotes.

"Baizhi, show the guests out." Gu Xunwei no longer listened to their lobbying. She stood up from the chair and asked Baizhi to show the guests out.

"Mrs. Xie, it's not right for you to do this. As the saying goes, when you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, you follow the dog. You will eventually..." Xi Gaoyuan lost his temper and was about to scold Gu Xunwei, but he saw Bai Zhi actually raised the tray in her hand. If he dared to continue talking, she would definitely hit him on the head without hesitation.

The two of them were frightened so much that they screamed and left Xie's house in panic.

Gu Xunwei saw Bai Zhi chase the two out and then come back, so she ordered, "Find someone to follow them and see who they are."

Bai Zhi nodded, and the person who followed them had already left, but that person was not from the Xie Mansion, but the leader of Sang Mo, who came to deliver something to Gu Xunwei on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

About an hour later, Sang Mo climbed over the wall and entered Xunxiang Courtyard. Seeing Bai Zhi waiting for him in the yard, he immediately took out several banknotes from his arms and said, "Look, we got all of them back."

Bai Zhi gave him a thumbs up and said, "Go in, the young lady is waiting for you."

Sang Mo rolled up all the silver bills into a ball and stuffed them into Bai Zhi's hand, then he walked into the reception room with a smile.

"Greetings, Madam Xie. I'm here on behalf of His Highness to deliver something to you, Madam." As Sang Mo spoke, he took out a book from his arms and presented it to Gu Xunwei with both hands.

Although she was puzzled, Gu Xunwei still reached out and picked up the book immediately. She flipped through the pages and read a few pages. Her eyes widened again. It turned out to be another book of incense recipes, a treasured recipe from the imperial palace of the previous dynasty.

"This is..." Gu Xunwei was a little confused as to why he remembered to give her the recipe again.

"Madam Xie, the last recipe was found by me in my own storeroom. It was a treasure that my grandfather had treasured for many years. This time, Your Highness found this one in the library of the palace."

"Your Highness doesn't know if this book will be of much help to you, so he just asked me to send it to you, Madam."

Sang Mo was in a very good mood. His Highness's book should have been delivered long ago, but it was more than a month late. It was only delivered now. He should be more proactive.

Gu Xunwei understood what Li Junhao meant, so she didn't dwell on it too much. Instead, she said, "Please ask Chief Sang to thank His Highness on my behalf. This book is very precious."
