Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"Well, what else? Go on."

"Yes," Cao Xingwen paused and said, "After Hu Er disappeared, she contacted Mr. Nanshan. As a result, somehow, someone caught their affair in the private room of Louwailou. It turned out that Mr. Nanshan found two men to give her to..."

"Afterwards, they were all arrested by the Dali Temple. As a result, Mr. Nanshan committed suicide in prison to prove his innocence. This matter caused a lot of controversy for a while."

Li Junze had also heard about Mr. Nanshan's affairs. After all, Mr. Nanshan was one of the few great scholars in the Great Chu State. He just didn't know that the person who pulled Mr. Nanshan down from the altar was actually Gu Qiongsi.

"Well, it seems that Aunt Gu is quite cruel. She even gave up her sweetheart. But I like her very much. Someone like her who is so cruel to herself will definitely be able to achieve success in her career in the future." The more Li Junze listened, the more he felt that Gu Qiongsi was very much to his liking.

Cao Xingwen said this originally to remind Prince An that this woman was not easy to mess with and had evil intentions, but now it seems that there is no point in continuing.

When Gu Qiongsi left Prince An's Mansion, the housekeeper took her to the accounting office to collect a silver note worth one thousand taels, asking her to use it to find someone to spread the news.

As for the news she needed to spread, King An had already asked them to write it down on a piece of paper.

Gu Qiongsi looked at the 1,000 taels of silver note in his hand with mixed feelings. He had not expected that Prince An would give him such a large sum of money the first time they met. If he had known this would be the case, he should have done so earlier.

When they returned to Jianjia Courtyard, Shuangrui repeated everything to Xie Chengan. Gu Qiongsi could no longer sit still, so she went back to the inner room and changed all the bra binders and clothes. The wound on her back was torn open again, and there were bright red spots on her bra binder.

Before she could take a closer look, Xie Chengan's voice rang out from outside, "Si'er, are you okay? Is anything serious?"

Gu Qiongsi laughed in her heart. Look, after listening to Shuangrui's words, his attitude towards her immediately changed for the better, and even his name was changed to "Si'er" again.

If she had not clearly remembered Xie Cheng'an's attitude towards her before she left, she would have found it hard to believe that this was the same person, looking the same on the same day.

She walked out of the inner room with a pale face, and sat weakly on a chair, then replied, "Don't worry, Sanlang, Si'er is fine."

"Si'er is still in the recovery stage. Otherwise, let Sanlang help you with the things. You can rest for two days before talking." Xie Cheng'an spoke softly and considerately to Gu Qiongsi.

"No, this matter is ultimately better done in secret. There are too many people who know Sanlang, so it's not appropriate for him to come forward. It's better for Si'er to go." Gu Qiongsi refused without any hesitation.

"That's right. Si'er must be more careful. Also, can you lend me one hundred taels of that one thousand taels of silver first?... Fifty taels is also fine." Xie Cheng'an saw the way Gu Qiongsi looked at him, as if he was an idiot, and he felt uncomfortable again.

"What is Sanlang talking about? This is the money that Prince An gave to Si'er to do things. It must all be spent to spread the news. How can it be used for personal purposes?" Gu Qiongsi refused again.

"You don't want us to start pocketing the money and deducting the funds we are given as soon as we start helping King An, do you? Is such a thing something a wise person would do?"

Xie Chengan was furious after hearing this. Of course this is what he meant, but there was no need to say it so bluntly. Doesn't Xie Chengan have any face?

"I...that's not what I meant. I just think that matter doesn't require so much money, so, so..." Xie Cheng'an explained to himself and couldn't explain any further.

Because he knew very well in his heart that even if what he said was true, the money could only be returned and he could not use it himself.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Si'er, why don't you give me some of the money from selling the jewelry? I will definitely take this opportunity to visit my mentor. I will have to trouble him a lot in the future."

"Sanlang, you know how bad our reputation is now. At this time, we should calm down and stop being so active. It won't be too late for you to go after the incident has passed."

"You, you really don't want to take out any money? Doesn't the daily expenses of the hospital need money to support it?" Xie Cheng'an was a little exasperated. Gu Qiongsi's attitude completely annoyed him.

However, he still had a suspicion in his heart that this woman was helping him to establish connections with Prince An, so his tone was just a little anxious, not too angry.

Gu Qiongsi's expression also turned a little ugly, but he didn't say anything more unpleasant.

When Xie Chengan saw this, he was so angry that he threw his sleeves and walked out of the room.

Qian, supported by Nanny Li, was waiting in the shadow of the courtyard. When she saw Xie Cheng'an coming out, she hurried out, "Brother An, what's wrong? Did she take out the silver?"

Xie Cheng'an didn't say anything, and Shuangrui shook his head at Qian.

"How dare this Gu Qiongsi, a concubine, do such a thing? She is just a concubine, or in other words, a servant in the family. How can she be so shameless?"

Qian said angrily, without lowering her voice at all, "Don't worry about it. Mother will go find her about this matter. After all, the money belongs to our Xie family."

She was talking about the silver notes obtained from the sale of jewelry. Xie Chengan had mentioned this to her before, so she became even more angry.

"Mother, forget it. Let's sell a few pieces of furniture first." Xie Cheng'an sighed and said, "She went to Prince An's Mansion today. My son will be working there soon."

"Really?" Qian excitedly pulled Xie Cheng'an's sleeve, "Oh, this is really great, mother said that my brother An is so talented, he will definitely not be buried like this."

After she finished speaking, she put her hands together and bowed in an unknown direction. Only then did she realize something was wrong, "You said, was this done by Gu Qiongsi?"

Although Xie Cheng'an was reluctant, he still nodded without saying anything.

"Oh, I never thought that Gu Qiongsi is actually quite capable. He managed to get this done in just one trip. This is all thanks to you, An Ge'er..."
