Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

After running for nearly an hour and not seeing any particularly suitable shops, the two finally arrived at the door of the former Xie Mansion.

Gu Qiongsi and Shuangrui were about to enter the house when they were stopped by the doorman. "I'm sorry, Aunt Gu, it's not appropriate for the young lady to see guests now. Please come back another day."

"We came here today because we have something important to discuss with the young lady. If you say this, it might delay her business. Please let her know that we are here for the incense shop."

Although Gu Qiongsi was helpless, he still politely explained to the servant.

The servant heard this and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, then please wait a moment, Aunt Gu."

After he said that, he ran in and first told the butler Zhu Da. After the butler agreed, he notified the young lady.

Gu Xunwei sat in the main seat in the hall, looking at Gu Qiongsi who came in dressed in men's clothes, and Shuangrui following behind her. This combination was really... interesting.

"Greetings, Young Madam." As soon as Gu Qiongsi entered the room, he bowed to Gu Xunwei very politely, just like before, as if Gu Qiongsi had completely forgotten what they had done to Gu Xunwei and her father.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Gu Xunwei said impatiently. She was interrupted when she was halfway through making incense, so she was not in the mood to play along with them.

"Madam, I came here this time to discuss the matter of Qianxiang Pavilion with you. We are looking for a shop, and you just happen to have no offer. Why don't we buy that shop so that you don't have to look for someone else."

Gu Qiongsi smiled falsely and looked at Gu Xunwei awkwardly, waiting for her reply.

"Well, what kind of business is Aunt Gu planning to start? A cloth shop?" Gu Xunwei asked knowingly. She took a sip of tea and asked casually.

Gu Qiongsi's eyes were a little evasive. "I haven't decided what to do specifically yet. My husband and I need to discuss it again. But no matter what we do, we will definitely use the shop. Why are you rushing over here in a hurry? Isn't this considered keeping the money within the family?"

"If I were to sell my shop to someone else, I would only sell it for 1,000 taels. If Aunt Gu wants it, I won't consider it for less than 1,500 taels."

Gu Xunwei smiled, and what she said almost made Gu Qiongsi bite his teeth off.

"Weier, what you said is a bit..."

"How dare you, a lowly concubine like you, call me by my maiden name? If you have money, transfer the ownership to me. If you don't, get out." Gu Xunwei suddenly raised her voice. Whenever she heard the other party call her "Weier", she would feel nauseous.

Gu Qiongsi's expression also changed. She thought Gu Xunwei would be more or less concerned about her status, but she didn't expect that she would be so embarrassing.

"Okay, Madam, I understand. No wonder you haven't been able to sell your two shops. It turns out that the price is so high. I want to see who will take over your two shops."

After saying that, she stopped greeting Gu Xunwei and walked out with Shuangrui.

Then I heard Gu Xunwei telling the housekeeper behind me, "Don't bring people like this to me anymore. It's really disgusting to see them. If they dare to come again, just beat them out."

These words made Gu Qiongsi so angry that she walked out of the door with a sullen look on her face. She didn't even get on the carriage, but walked back to Jianjiayuan with Shuangrui.

When they were about to enter the gate, Gu Qiongsi suddenly said to Shuangrui, "I'll give you ten taels of silver. Go find Jiao Dafu and ask him to help spread the message that Qianxiang Pavilion has a bad feng shui and may cause financial loss."

She couldn't swallow this anger in the end. She couldn't let Gu Xunwei's two incense shops be sold so quickly. It would be best if they stayed in her hands. Even if she begged her to sell them in the future, she wouldn't even look at her.

Shuang Rui heard this and knew that Gu Qiongsi was irritated by Gu Xunwei just now, "Aunt, it's all because of my talking too much. I will do it right away."

He took the ten taels of silver given by Gu Qiongsi, nodded, and returned to the City God Temple in the west of the city.

Gu Qiongsi was still upset. After returning to the yard, he did not meet Qian and Xie Chengan, but went straight back to his room, where Dingxiang was holding Xie Rui and coaxing him to sleep.

Seeing Gu Qiongsi coming back, Dingxiang carried Xie Rui and was about to walk out the door, worried that Xie Rui's crying would disturb Gu Qiongsi.

"Dingxiang, leave Rui'er to Madam first, and come over here to help me apply the medicine again." Gu Qiongsi stopped her and did not let her leave.

"Yes." Dingxiang couldn't help rolling her eyes, but still agreed.

She is now ordered around every day. Everyone in Jianjia Courtyard can order her around. She has to take care of Xie Rui while helping the housekeeper and Nanny Li.

Of course, I also have to serve this Aunt Gu.

And Gu Qiongsi, as her master, didn't feel that she was working hard at all and even arranged various tasks for her to do. This was a far cry from her previous situation with Gu Xunwei.

Although Gu Xunwei is a little slow and brainless, she is really kind to her servants and no one can bully her.

There was no point in thinking about these things. Dingxiang knew that she could not go back, so she could only carry the crying Xie Rui to Qian's side.

"Madam, please leave the young master here for a while. I will go and help Aunt Gu apply the medicine." Dingxiang said softly to Qian.

Qian was also feeling uncomfortable now, with a stuffy chest and difficulty breathing. Nanny Li was helping her to breathe smoothly.

Hearing Dingxiang's words, he immediately became furious and started to curse, "You blind man, I am in this state now, how can I listen to Rui'er's crying? You should take him away quickly and come in again when he stops crying."

Dingxiang looked up at Qian and found that she seemed to be in a really bad condition. Not to mention her complexion, the color of her lips seemed to be pale with a layer of dark purple.

So she had no choice but to carry Xie Rui back to Gu Qiongsi's room, "Madam seems to be in poor health now and cannot take care of the young master. I will put him on the small bed."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and placed the crying Xie Rui on the small bed in the corner. Then she washed her hands and applied medicine to the wound on Gu Qiongsi's back.

Gu Qiongsi was already unhappy, and she felt even more depressed when she saw that Qian Shi didn't even care about Xie Rui. Xie Chengan had no time to care about Xie Rui at all, as if the child had become his own business.

She lowered her head and said nothing, allowing Dingxiang to help her apply the medicine. However, her dissatisfaction with Xie Chengan and his mother increased a little.

At this moment, Xie Chengan suddenly walked in from outside, "Can't you hear? Rui'er has been crying all the time. How can he keep crying like this? His mother is starting to have a headache..."
