Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chenxiang nodded and accidentally touched the wound at the corner of his mouth, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.

Bai Zhi also came in with the scar removal cream. "If you ask me, Shopkeeper Bai is useless and a weak scholar. If my eldest brother was here, he would definitely knock them down in two moves."

"Yeah, yes, your elder brother is really awesome." Gu Xunwei had seen Zhu Da swinging a sledgehammer in the front yard in the morning. Such a heavy hammer seemed like it was made of cotton in his hands, and he swung it with great vigor.

Chen Xiang's face immediately turned red. After thinking for a while, he said, "Manager Bai is not a weakling either. He also took action today..."

Gu Xunwei laughed in her heart, but she didn't expose her little thoughts. Instead, she asked Bai Zhi, "Those two little hooligans, even though they ran away, you and your brother still have to look for them to see if they were arranged by someone else to cause trouble. Now is the critical moment, we can't be careless at all."

Bai Zhi nodded, "My brother should have gone there. He can't stand his own people being bullied. I'll go over and take a look."

Gu Xunwei saw Bai Zhi rushing out again, so she picked up the scar removal cream and helped Chen Xiang apply it, saying, "After what happened today, I think Shopkeeper Bai is sincere to you. I will have a plan for your future."

Gu Xunwei's words made Chenxiang blush immediately. She quickly said, "Young Madam, I didn't, I didn't... Oh, I don't want to get married. I want to stay by your side and serve you."

"Chenxiang, that's not what I meant." Gu Xunwei teased Chenxiang. As she wished, she saw Chenxiang shyly covering his cheek, but accidentally touched the wound again.

The two men fought for another while and thought that the matter was over. Fortunately, there was no danger. However, they didn't know how much trouble this incident would cause them in the future. Of course, this is a story for later.

The next morning, Gu Qiongsi took Shuangrui out with a refreshed spirit. Because she was in a good mood, she felt that the injury on her back was not so painful anymore.

I guess it has something to do with the ointment that Dingxiang applied on me before going to bed last night.

She was still dressed as a man today, and brought Shuangrui to the City God Temple in the west of the city.

A middle-aged man saw someone coming and immediately walked in front of them. When he saw Gu Qiongsi, he was a familiar face. "Hey, isn't this the young master? What's the matter with you coming here this time?"

In the City God Temple in the west of the city, there are always some displaced people living there, including the elderly and children. Most of the time they make a living by begging in the city. Gu Qiongsi used to come to them often to ask for their help in passing some news to the city.

This man was called Jiao Dafu. He was also a lazy person, but he was also a person who could get things done for money. After receiving the money, the people in the City God Temple would help, and any news would spread quickly.

"Well, Dafu, I came here this time because I have two pieces of news that I need you to spread. Remember, you must spread them quickly today and tomorrow. The money is also a lot this time, so you have to work harder."

Gu Qiongsi didn't exchange any polite words with him, but directly stated his purpose, and then took out a silver note of fifty taels from his pocket.

When Jiao Dafu saw the silver bills, his eyes lit up. Such a job had never been paid so much silver before.

So he quickly stretched out his hand and took the banknote, saying, "Don't worry, sir. We will definitely do our best this time and guarantee that you will be satisfied."

Gu Qiongsi's eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered both pieces of news to Jiao Dafu. After hearing them, the other party immediately opened his eyes wide, "This... This is not okay. This involves matters related to the royal family. How dare we say anything nonsense?"

He immediately felt that the banknote in his hand was like a hot potato and he wanted to throw it away, but unfortunately his hands were reluctant to let go and clenched it a little tighter.

"This is not nonsense, it is the fact, it's just that you have never heard of it. If it weren't for this news, do you think you would be given so much silver?" Gu Qiongsi said in a flat tone, and then took another look at the silver note in Jiao Dafu's hand.

If it was something else, about ten taels of silver would be enough. This time I offered five times the price, so it would definitely be difficult for Jiao Dafu to refuse.

"This... I hope no noble person will come to investigate. I really don't dare to do it." Jiao Dafu was still hesitant, fearing that he would have the life to earn money but not the life to spend it.

"Don't worry. These two pieces of news will not be spread only by you. They will also be spread in teahouses and taverns this morning. If you are not assured, then wait until they start spreading them before you start." Gu Qiongsi smiled indifferently, and in his heart he despised Jiao Dafu's behavior of wanting to make money but not having the courage.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I, Jiao Dafu, can definitely guarantee that it can be done." After hearing this, Jiao Dafu patted his chest and promised.

Gu Qiongsi did not delay any longer and took Shuangrui to meet two people. They were regular customers of Louwailou and those taverns and teahouses. They helped people to find out information and also to spread the information. One of them was called Wu Feng and the other was called Wu Gang. They were brothers and had many younger brothers under them to help spread the information.

Gu Qiongsi also offered a high price and asked them to help spread the two pieces of news. They were also full of doubts, but in the end they couldn't resist the temptation of the banknotes and agreed.

After doing all this, Gu Qiongsi took Shuangrui on a carriage and went around and around, eventually making a long circle on the commercial street.

"Aunt, what are you doing?" Shuangrui saw that they had been walking for half an hour and Gu Qiongsi didn't tell him the destination, so he had to ask.

"I'm going to buy a shop and open a perfume shop." Gu Qiongsi lifted the car curtain, his eyes wandering over the shops on both sides of the commercial street, and answered briefly.

Shuangrui had personally stolen the recipe and given it to Gu Qiongsi, so she only said one sentence and people guessed what Aunt Gu was planning.

He was not a talkative person, but at this moment, he mentioned it for some unknown reason, "I heard that both of the young lady's shops are for sale. What do you think, aunt?"

After hearing this, Gu Qiongsi retracted his gaze. Yes, Gu Xunwei’s two perfume shops have been closed since the last perfume tasting competition, and it is said that they have been looking for buyers.

"The shop in Yaxiangzhai is definitely not a good choice. Although the location is good, it is opposite Wangyu Tower. The other one is a good choice, but I don't know if the young lady is willing to sell it to me at a low price."

Gu Qiongsi also had the same idea. If he couldn't find a more suitable person, he would have to shamelessly go over and ask Gu Xunwei.
