Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 139 Visit to Prince An's Mansion

"Well, okay, if you really go to Prince An's Mansion, you should dress up as men. I'll let Shuangrui go with you." Xie Cheng'an was very happy after hearing what Gu Qiongsi said, but he didn't show it.

Because the scene at Louwailou emerged in his mind again. The expression of Gu Qiongsi covering his mouth at the dinner table was something he would never forget.

He was very resistant to Gu Qiongsi's contact with the man again. Even though he knew that was not Gu Qiongsi's original intention, he still could not forgive her.

"I'll listen to Sanlang." Gu Qiongsi said obediently, then lowered her head again. A strand of hair fell from her forehead, making her look helpless and lonely.

However, her pitiful and helpless look did not make Xie Cheng'an feel soft-hearted. When her life and death were not guaranteed, how could he have the heart to feel sorry for a "slut"?

So when Gu Qiongsi endured the pain and got up and changed into men's clothes, her face was already pale from the pain, and she had to use rouge to add some rosy color to herself.

The bra binder that needed to be tightened seemed to have removed the blood scab on the back, and a trace of blood seeped out.

Shuang Rui saw this and felt a little reluctant, "Auntie, why don't we go later? You are..."

"No need, let's go." Gu Qiongsi said firmly, but his tone revealed a sense of powerlessness.

The carriage rumbled forward. Gu Qiongsi lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. Holding the Gu's prescription in her hand, she saw all the people on the street turned into silver bills, waving at her.

It was only with this kind of courage that she was able to endure the torture in the Dali Temple. If she hadn't had the Gu family incense recipe in her hands, she might have collapsed long ago.

When they arrived at Prince An's Mansion, Gu Qiongsi did not let Shuangrui go over, but the two of them went over together and handed the visiting card to the doorman.

After a while, the servant came out trotting, nodded to Gu Qiongsi, and then said, "Mr. Qingzhu, please follow me."

Gu Qiongsi nodded, followed the servant into Prince An's Mansion through the side door.

This Third Prince, who had been favored by Gu Qiongsi since she came to this world, was finally able to meet him in person today. Gu Qiongsi felt quite excited.

It is said that "it is nice to sit under a big tree for shade", and Gu Qiongsi agrees with this statement, but she would rather plant this big tree herself.

Li Junze met Gu Qiongsi in the reception room. When he saw them come in, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He knew that Young Master Qing was Gu Qiongsi, and he also knew that Gu Qiongsi was the person who had asked Hu Er to contact her, but he did not expect that she was actually a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, and she did not look like a particularly outstanding beauty.

"Qingzhu, hello to His Royal Highness Prince An." Gu Qiongsi bowed and paid his respects to Li Junze.

"Well, please stand up. Can you explain to me what exactly happened with Hu Er?" Li Junze was too lazy to be polite with her, so he directly expressed his doubts.

Hu Er has always been the contact between the two of them. Suddenly something happened to him and he lost several secret guards. The key point is that Hu Er is still imprisoned in the Dali Temple.

It's like a big knife that can fall at any time and take their lives one day.

He, Li Junze, could not allow such a thing to happen.

Gu Qiongsi knew that His Royal Highness Prince An would definitely ask about this matter, so she did not beat around the bush, "Your Highness, Qingzhu and Xie Chengan have not seen Hu Er since the results were announced."

"As for the rumor that Hu Er owed money to Ruyi Casino and was arrested, Qingzhu thinks it is not entirely true. Hu Er is Qingzhu's relative and we have known each other since childhood. He is not that kind of person."

Gu Qiongsi guaranteed that Hu Er was actually very timid, and even if he had gambled in the past, he would never owe a large gambling debt.

"I also think this matter is very strange, but it is ultimately attributed to the Dali Temple. Yan Nangui, the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, must know something. How about you find one of Hu Er's family members and go to the Dali Temple to ask for him?"

Li Junze picked up the tea and just put it to his mouth, then put it down again, "He has been imprisoned in the Dali Temple like this, and I feel very uneasy."

Gu Qiongsi nodded, "Your Highness is right, but the Dali Temple has not released any definite news, so we cannot be sure whether the person they arrested that day was really Hu Er. If we rashly go to look for him, there is no guarantee that Yan Nangui will find out."

After listening to Gu Qiongsi's words, Li Junze filtered the matter again in his mind, and then said to the outside, "Go, call Wen Jiaxiang, Cao Xingwen, and Xi Gaoyuan over."

Someone outside the door answered and the footsteps gradually faded away.

Gu Qiongsi knew that Prince An was going to call his guests over to discuss the matter together.

So she seized the opportunity, stood up and knelt down to Li Junze before they came over, "Xie Cheng'an, a dignified top scholar, has fallen to this state. Please, Your Highness, Prince An, show him a way out."

Li Junze frowned. Xie Cheng'an's affairs were now widely spread in the capital. The saying "He has talent but no morals, and his talent is enough to help his evil deeds" was even talked about in wine shops and teahouses.

What better solution can I have now?

"His incident has far-reaching impact this time. Let him calm down for a few days and wait until the incident has died down before we talk about it." Li Junze didn't want to be involved in such a thing again after he was finally released from house arrest.

Gu Qiongsi raised his head, endured the pain in his back, and continued, "There are new rumors in the capital every day. This matter has been talked about so much, and there must be people behind the scenes fanning the flames. If a few more interesting things are reported at this time, it will soon be over."

"Your Highness, you can think about these things. It would be best if the news is beneficial to you. Qingzhu can help you spread it."

Gu Qiongsi looked at Li Junze with hope. She was very confident about such things.

In her previous life, technology was very advanced and information spread very quickly. The anchors and celebrities on the Internet were well aware of this.

Once there is any news that is unfavorable to them, they will spend money to buy hot searches and push other more popular news to the top to eliminate the influence of the news related to themselves.

Li Junze's thoughts suddenly became clear. This woman's ideas were indeed powerful. She could use public opinion to turn the situation around and even pull down her opponent.

"Well, what you said makes sense. We will discuss this matter later and see how it will work. However, no matter what we do, you must not involve me. Do you understand?"
