Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

The next day, which was May 27th, Gu Xunwei packed up early in the morning and took Bai Zhi to the Dali Temple prison.

She first met Yan Nangui, who only met with her briefly before going on to interrogate Nanny Li.

Gu Xunwei was taken by Deputy General Niu to meet Xie Cheng'an and Qian. As expected, they were all badly beaten. Only Master Xie was less beaten. Unfortunately, his health was not very good to begin with, and his current condition was not much better.

"Gu Xunwei, come on, sign the letter of understanding. We have made our choice. We will all live in Jianjiayuan." When Xie Cheng'an saw Gu Xunwei, he couldn't wait for her to ask him about his choice, so he told her his choice.

Living in Jianjiayuan, they at least have a place to live. Even though Gu Xunwei is now penniless and has to sell the incense shop, there is still the Gu family's incense shop and the Gu family's immense wealth. As long as they do not divorce, all of these will be theirs.

Gu Xunwei nodded. Seeing that they all looked exhausted, the depression in her heart dissipated a little. She asked Bai Zhi to throw the three rules she had written in front of Xie Chengan, "Take a closer look, these are my conditions."

Xie Cheng'an didn't expect that she actually had other conditions at this time. His heart was immediately burning with anger, but he still patiently picked it up and took a look.

Then, he unconsciously clenched his hand holding the paper, and saw that it said,

“1. No one in Jianjia Courtyard may enter the main courtyard without permission;

Second, you cannot ask for money under any pretext;

Third, you cannot act like a husband and exercise authority in the main courtyard. "

Gu Xunwei wanted to turn a blind eye to these three points as she didn't want to argue with them all day long, so she directly deprived them of their status as masters of the Xie Mansion.

"Gu Xunwei, you you you...don't go too far." Xie Cheng'an was so angry that he wanted to tear the paper into pieces.

"I wonder if my husband has ever thought about whether this letter of understanding is signed only by you, or by Aunt Gu and the others as well?" Gu Xunwei ignored his anger and asked slowly.

"Of course... we signed it together." Xie Cheng'an's tone softened again. In the future, he was counting on Gu Qiongsi to help them make money and help him get in touch with Prince An.

After answering, he understood what Gu Xunwei meant. He must agree to the contents of the paper, otherwise she could refuse to sign the letter of understanding.

"Okay, I agree. Please sign it quickly and I will do as you say." Xie Cheng'an said helplessly as if he was discouraged.

Gu Xunwei looked at him and said silently in her heart, "Xie Cheng'an, you all must live well. I want to watch you live in hardship and suffering, and watch you fight each other and fall into an irretrievable state."

Bai Zhi watched Xie Cheng'an press his fingerprint on the paper, then folded the paper and put it away.

Gu Xunwei and Bai Zhi quickly left their cell and went to the cell where Gu Qiongsi and the others were.

Seeing the appearance of the four of them, this was the first time Gu Xunwei saw them since the incident, and she felt quite calm in her heart.

In the previous life, it was because of them that my father was framed and accused of treason, and eventually the whole family was executed. What they have to endure now can only be regarded as a small interest.

"Weier, Weier, it's all Second Aunt's fault. I won't dare to do it again. You should sign the letter of apology as soon as possible, Weier..."

When Mrs. Du saw Gu Xunwei coming, she immediately started crying and apologized to Gu Xunwei. They had to find a way to get out quickly because there was a lot of money waiting for them to earn.

Gu Xunwei didn't say much, but stared at the torn wound on Gu Qiongsi's back with burning eyes, and the pleasure in her heart could hardly be concealed.

She came here today and there was also an agreement that they needed to sign.

Bai Zhi threw a piece of paper to Mrs. Du just like before.

"Second Aunt, I came here today to sign the letter of understanding, but before signing, I hope you can agree to what is written on this piece of paper."

Mrs. Du took the paper doubtfully, and when she saw the content on it, a hint of disbelief appeared on her face. Seeing her expression change, Gu Ziheng and Gu Qiongsi crawled to her side with difficulty, took the paper in their hands and looked at it together.

"Gu Xunwei, you want to sever all ties with us? Is this what eldest brother wants?" Gu Ziheng asked angrily.

After asking, he suddenly looked up at Gu Xunwei, but accidentally moved the injury on his back, and his face turned pale due to the pain.

"Yes, this is the result of my discussion with my parents. After you are released from prison this time, your family will no longer have anything to do with our eldest branch of the family. Just live your lives in the future." Gu Xunwei said in a flat tone.

What she handed over to them was the letter of breakup between Gu Ziyu and Gu Ziheng.

As long as they signed, anything that happened in their family in the future would have nothing to do with Gu Xunwei and the others.

Gu Ziheng gritted his teeth, but thinking about what he had done, it was not surprising that his elder brother made such a decision. "Okay, since that's what elder brother wants, I'll sign it."

He said this out of spite. If they became rich with Gu's incense recipe in the future, he, Gu Ziyu, would never get any benefit from him. Humph.

Gu Xunwei successfully obtained the severance letter with Gu Ziheng's fingerprint on it, and then she and Bai Zhi followed Deputy General Niu to sign the letter of understanding between their two families.

Deputy General Niu was still somewhat puzzled, and asked doubtfully, "Madam Xie, are you really going to let them go just like that?"

Gu Xunwei nodded and said, "Thank you, Deputy General Niu, for taking care of them. I have already prepared a carriage outside and will let them ride back directly. I am sorry to have troubled Deputy General Niu."

After she finished speaking, she bowed to Deputy General Niu.

"Okay, I got it. Madam Xie, please go back first. I'll have someone send them all back later." Deputy General Niu sighed, but he could only sigh that Madam Xie was too kind.

Gu Xunwei didn't stay any longer and went straight back to Xie's house.

The servants had already cleaned up the Jianjia Courtyard, and moved all the furniture and belongings they had purchased from the Rongde Courtyard and the Xiangsi Courtyard over there. They also opened the doors for them and blocked the door leading to the Xie Mansion tightly.

The butler also packed up all the items in the study and moved them to the Jianjia Courtyard. Looking at the desolate scene in the courtyard, the butler felt a sense of emotion.

How did the Xie family get to where they are today, step by step? Since the young master passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, things should have been getting better and better, but how come overnight, their lives became worse than before?
