Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

However, when the prince opened the letter early the next morning, his eyes became deep.

After a long time, he finally said, "Please help me make an appointment with Madam Xie. I will wait for her at Louwailou at 5 pm today."

Sang Mo immediately looked troubled. How could he pass on a message to Madam Xie in broad daylight? Besides, it was uncertain whether Madam Xie could go out. Oh, what a headache! Giving a thank-you gift brought up a problem...

Gu Xunwei left the east wing early in the morning. As usual, she went to pay her respects to Old Madam Xie, ate a few bites of food, and then went out again with her people.

Although Qian was anxious for her to decide on a house, she still complained a few more times.

"Wei Er, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but Brother An saved your life and it was because of that that you two had physical contact that he had to agree to marry you. If you're always so cold, he'll inevitably dislike you."

Qian's words were earnest and sincere. As someone who had experienced this, she had to advise Gu Xunwei and make her have some sense of crisis.

If it was Gu Xunwei in the previous life, she would have tried to please Xie Chengan carefully after hearing this, and would have even taken out banknotes for him to arrange things. However, in this life, Gu Xunwei knew very well that money was the bottom line, and having it in one's own hands was the confidence.

"Mother, I have thought it through. My husband probably doesn't like me. I don't dare to complain because of my low status. But considering the incense of the Xie family, I have been helping my husband to find a candidate. As long as my husband nods, she will be brought into the mansion to be a concubine in a few days."

Gu Xunwei spoke with her head lowered and her eyes submissive, looking like a bullied young wife.

Doesn't Xie Cheng'an have deep feelings for Gu Qiongsi? In his previous life, Xie Cheng'an had no one else in his eyes and treated Gu Qiongsi wholeheartedly. So in this life, she wants to let the two of them separate first.

When Qian heard this, her heart sank. What did Gu Xunwei mean by saying this? Has she given up on An Ge?

This won’t work. If he really gave up, how could he be willing to take out the money?

"Wei'er, you just got married. Even if Brother An is a little cold to you, it's not right to bring your aunt in right now. You should wait and talk. I'll try to persuade Brother An again."

"Okay, I, your daughter-in-law, will listen to my mother." Gu Xunwei agreed readily and went out with her three maids.

"See? A merchant girl who is not presentable, goes out with three maids, in a grand manner, as if she is afraid that others can't tell that she is rich." Qian curled her lips and said to Madam Li behind her.

Nanny Li also shook her head, but she didn't say much about her master's affairs.

Gu Xunwei and her friends quickly completed the transfer of the house. The housekeeper came over to give the money, and she took the title deed in her hand.

Next, she asked Dingxiang and the housekeeper to go back to the Xie family first, and report the matters of the house to Old Lady Xie, while she took Chenxiang and Baizhi to wander aimlessly on the shopping street.

In the previous life, I was trapped in the backyard every day, depressed all day long, and worried every day that I would be divorced. Later, after adopting Gu Rui, I put all my thoughts on educating the child. There were not many times when I could go shopping to relax like this.

After a while, Bai Zhi came running over and pointed at an old woman who was selecting cakes in a cake shop not far away.

Gu Xunwei recognized the old woman after a careful look. She was Aunt Wu, who used to serve Second Aunt Du. Presumably, Second Aunt assigned her here because Gu Qiongsi was pregnant.

Gu Qiongsi has been a person with high expectations since she was a child. In addition, her elder brother also achieved good results in the provincial examination. She suddenly became a half-official lady from a merchant family. What was the reason that made her follow Xie Chengan wholeheartedly? You have to know that when they were together, Xie Chengan was just a poor scholar.

Gu Xunwei naturally couldn't think of it now, but she already knew that her second uncle and second aunt had known about Gu Qiongsi's pregnancy for a long time, and they even condoned this behavior.

Since this is the case, then the revenge she wants to inflict on her second uncle's family can be more severe.

So she gave Chenxiang and Baizhi each a sachet and asked them to go their separate ways. She herself stopped the carriage at a suitable location and waited with great interest to watch the show.

After shopping, Mother Wu carried a basket and walked into an inconspicuous courtyard in the western suburbs.

When Gu Qiongsi heard the noise at the courtyard gate, she hurriedly looked out through the crack in the door. When she saw it was Mother Wu, a look of disappointment appeared on her face.

She was about to give birth, but Xie Cheng'an was still the same as before, coming over only once every few days. Although he kept telling her that he had never touched Gu Xunwei, she didn't quite believe it in her heart. After all, Gu Xunwei had been more attractive than herself since she was a child.

So she always thought that he should come over more often in recent days, but he didn't.

As soon as Mother Wu entered the house, she locked the gate again and went into the kitchen with a basket on her shoulder. "Miss, I will make you a sweet and sour fish for lunch today. It is your favorite dish since childhood. How about it?"

Mother Wu put down the dishes and walked into the house with a smile on her face. But when she saw Gu Qiongsi leaning on the beauty couch and pulling at her handkerchief, she quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Mother Wu, who had watched Gu Qiongsi grow up, could see that the young lady was sulking.

"Didn't Madam tell you that your current mood is unstable, which can easily cause the child's mood changes. If this continues for a long time, it will be bad for both you and the child."

Mother Wu has been saying these words recently, and it is clear to Gu Qiongsi that she understands them.

"Mother Wu, I know, but Sanlang has already married Gu Xunwei. I'm really worried that he will change his mind."

"Miss, I'm not making any promises, but I've been through this before. When Master Xie mentioned Miss Wei'er, his expression and tone must have been one of extreme disgust. You don't have to worry too much about this."

Mother Wu advised her while rubbing her lower back. Ever since Gu Qiongsi became pregnant, she had been locked up in this small courtyard. She didn't even have a place to digest her food after meals. Not only did she gain weight, but her pregnant belly also looked larger.

"But, this kind of thing, hey... They are together every day, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen. In my heart, there is always some..."

Gu Qiongsi was halfway through his words when someone knocked on the courtyard door from outside.

Mother Wu immediately stood up and looked outside, then said to Gu Qiongsi, "Miss, please wait a moment. I will go out and take a look."

Gu Qiongsi nodded. It shouldn’t be Xie Chengan who came this time. The sound of him knocking on the door was not like this every time he came.
