Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 142 Chenxiang in Danger

In the evening, Qian asked Li Ma to prepare two dishes and a soup, which was rare for her, to celebrate what Xie Cheng'an said and also to help Gu Qiongsi to recuperate.

The atmosphere in the entire Jianjia Courtyard was unprecedentedly joyful. Gu Qiongsi naturally knew why, but did not reveal it. He just pretended to be flattered and asked Dingxiang to go to the main house to thank Qian and others.

As for herself, she lost her appetite after eating just a few bites. She climbed up from the couch with difficulty, stretched her strained back, stood up, took out the copied Gu's incense recipe, and began to study it carefully.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will go out to spread the news tomorrow morning. At the same time, she also needs to look for a shopkeeper, who should listen to her and have relevant work experience.

She could go to the shopping street tomorrow to check it out and look for a suitable shop. The incense shop was what she needed to focus on most at the moment.

Once these are confirmed, we can start making incense. I am so smart, and the recipe records such detailed steps of making incense, so I will definitely succeed.

Thinking of this, she felt much better, and good days ahead were beckoning her.

So at night, she slept very soundly and did not even hear Xie Rui's crying in the middle of the night. Instead, she was deeply immersed in her own beautiful dream with a smile on her lips all the time.

Different from the situation on Gu Qiongsi's side, Gu Xunwei was in Xunxiangyuan, looking at photo albums while making plans in her mind.

At this time, Bai Zhi walked in with a smile on her face, and then said, "Madam, the master has sent a letter from Liuzhou."

Gu Xunwei looked up and saw that she was holding a carrier pigeon in one hand and a small bamboo tube in the other.

She raised her hand to take the small bamboo tube, unfolded a small piece of letter paper from it, and then revealed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, "They really have started to raise money, they are preparing to open an incense shop."

Bai Zhi understood something as soon as she heard it. This must be referring to Aunt Gu's parents.

"They really are stubborn and never change. The whole family likes to covet other people's things and are short-sighted." Bai Zhi spat lightly, despising their behavior.

"Haha, since we know their plan and how anxious they are, we naturally have a way to deal with them. Father must have already made arrangements." Gu Xunwei smiled, folded the letter again, and put it into her purse.

Then he picked up the pen, thought for a while, and wrote a few small words, "Lower the price, buy at a low price."

After writing it, he gave it to Baizhi, who then passed it to Liuzhou.

When Bai Zhi was about to leave, Gu Xunwei suddenly remembered and asked, "Is Chenxiang not back yet?"

It is now completely dark, and I have never encountered anything like this before.

"Yes, I just went to check, and he hasn't come back yet. How about I ask someone to pick him up?" Bai Zhi said worriedly. She wanted to go out just now, but considering that she was the only one serving the young lady, it would be inappropriate for her to go out, so she had to give up.

Gu Xunwei pondered for a moment before saying, "You and your brother should go look for her along the way, just in case."

Bai Zhi agreed and trotted out, leaving Gu Xunwei thinking back and forth in a somewhat uneasy mood.

Chenxiang started learning how to run and account for the incense shop from Shopkeeper Bai a few days ago, because Gu Xunwei planned to let Chenxiang be responsible for coordinating all matters concerning the incense shop with Shopkeeper Bai in the future.

After all, it is not suitable for him to go out frequently and have too much negotiation with Wangyu Tower. However, he did not expect that such a thing would happen in just a few days. It seems that he will need to give Chenxiang a maid who is good at fighting in the future.

In just a cup of tea, Bai Zhi came back quickly, with a look of panic on her face, followed by Chenxiang and Manager Bai who were both injured.

When Gu Xunwei saw it, she immediately stood up, walked up and asked, "What happened?"

"Don't panic, Madam. We just met a few hooligans on the road, and they have already been chased away." Chenxiang hurriedly stepped forward to explain to Gu Xunwei, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Gu Xunwei looked at Shopkeeper Bai who was standing beside her. The man seemed to be more seriously injured. One of his eyes was bruised and purple, and his clothes were torn in several places. "Why is Shopkeeper Bai here?"

Shopkeeper Bai, who was always eloquent, polite and well-mannered, and who usually spoke in a set way, stuttered at this moment, "Well, Madam, today... today when Chenxiang left Wangyu Building, a clerk reported that someone seemed to have followed Chenxiang out. I was frightened for a moment, so I rushed over."

Seeing that Gu Xunwei was still worried, Chenxiang quickly explained, "They are just two little hooligans. The skills I learned from Baizhi have finally come in handy this time. Madam, don't worry. I didn't suffer any loss."

Gu Xunwei smiled helplessly. Looking at the situation of the two, Manager Bai must have helped Chenxiang block a lot of punches. From this point of view, he was a thoughtful person. She felt relieved to hand Chenxiang over to him.

"Okay, I will arrange someone to go out with Chenxiang to do errands in the future. It's very late today, Baizhi, ask your brother to send Manager Bai back." Seeing that neither of them had anything important to do, Gu Xunwei didn't want to say anything more about it.

Especially, if Manager Bai were seen leaving the house in the middle of the night, who knows what kind of rumors would spread about him.

After all, Shopkeeper Bai is now a celebrity in the capital, and he is surrounded by dignitaries every day.

Shopkeeper Bai immediately understood what was going on. He turned around and looked at Chenxiang worriedly before bowing to Gu Xunwei, saying goodbye and leaving.

"Baizhi, go get me the scar removing cream." Gu Xunwei pressed Chenxiang down on the chair and carefully checked the injuries on her face and arms.

"Young Madam, I'm fine." Bai Zhi was deeply moved when she saw Gu Xunwei's nervous expression. As a servant, she was blessed to meet such a good master.

"Chenxiang, you must remember that in the future, no matter what the situation is, your own safety is the most important thing, do you understand?" Gu Xunwei once again instilled this idea into Chenxiang.

When they came in just now, Gu Xunwei discovered that Chenxiang and Manager Bai were both injured to varying degrees, but the thick account books in Chenxiang's arms were not damaged at all and were still clean and smooth. It was clear that Chenxiang had suffered so many injuries in order to protect the account books.
