Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Thinking of this, Xie Cheng'an had a new understanding of Gu Qiongsi's abilities and ideas.

Just one encounter was enough to reverse Prince An's current decline, and also reverse his own situation.

This woman really should not be underestimated. I should be nicer to her in the future.

At this time, Prince An Li Junze and his three diners were sitting in the private room of Louwailou. The people they arranged were inquiring about the news in the hall on the first floor.

Seeing that His Royal Highness Prince An attached so much importance to this matter, Cao Xingwen thought about it and finally said, "Your Highness, I always feel that it seems a bit inappropriate for these civilians to discuss this matter so much."

Prince An knew that Cao Xingwen had always been a cautious conservative, so he was not surprised to hear him say this.

"Xingwen, you don't have to worry so much. When we decided to release this news, we had already discussed this matter. As the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone. Even if the emperor knew about this, at most he would be angry, but it would not affect us."

Li Junze was in a good mood and looked out at the street from the window of the private room on the third floor.

The crowds of people on the street, those people in groups of three or five, might be discussing the news.

Wen Jiaxiang also felt that what His Royal Highness Prince An said made sense, so he echoed, "Your Highness is right. So many people are discussing this matter. Even if they want to investigate, they won't be able to find out anything."

Cao Xingwen was still a little worried in his heart, but he did not insist any more. After all, it had already been done, and he could only wait and see how the situation developed.

"If this Young Master Qingzhu is really a man, I will take him under my command no matter what the cost. Even if she is a woman, she still has such scheming and means, which is really rare."

Li Junze looked at the shopping street and sighed with the three people. As soon as Gu Qiongsi joined him, she had already revealed her abilities, and she would definitely play a greater role in the future.

Wen Jiaxiang agreed again, "Yes, yes, congratulations to Your Highness. You are so happy to have two such counselors. Do you still have to worry about whether your great cause will be accomplished in the future?"

Li Junze was very happy with this sentence. He waved his hand and said, "Tell the butler to find a way to send some money to Qingzhu to express my gratitude."

Wen Jiaxiang nodded repeatedly, and the others started another discussion.

At the same time, Gu Xunwei was interrupted by a knock on the door in the incense-making room. She knew that something urgent might have happened, otherwise Bai Zhi and the others would definitely not disturb her while she was making incense.

So she quickly washed her hands, then opened the door and went out, only to see the two little girls anxiously waiting for her to come out.

Bai Zhi immediately stepped forward and said anxiously, "Young Madam, this is bad. There are suddenly a lot of rumors circulating in the market, all about what happened at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. From the direction of the wind, it seems that it is very unfavorable to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Then, she repeated to Gu Xunwei the news she had heard outside, and finally asked, "Madam, what do you think we should do about this matter?"

Gu Xunwei was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that matters concerning the royal family's reputation would spread among the people in the market like this. The last time the prince came, she only knew that they had broken the plan of the person behind the scenes, but she didn't expect that it would be broken in this way.

When she suddenly heard this, she was a little stunned for a moment. After hearing this news, it was hard to guarantee that it was not Prince An's doing.

So she thought about it over and over again, and then said to Bai Zhi, "This is a good thing. Manager Li has been hanging out with those storytellers recently, and we can use them to do something."

"Oh," Bai Zhi saw that Gu Xunwei was not panicking but had a solution. Her eyes lit up immediately and she leaned closer and asked with interest, "What is the young lady going to do?"

Gu Xunwei scratched her nose and said, "It is natural for us to help Your Highness settle these things in the market. No matter who is behind it, we have to suppress them. This is the greatest significance of the existence of Wangyu Tower."

Bai Zhi asked in vain. The young lady said so much, but she couldn't understand what she was going to do. She turned around and glanced at Chenxiang, and found that she seemed to have understood some of it, and the anxiety on her face was completely gone.

Gu Xunwei didn't have time to explain to Bai Zhi and the others, so she made arrangements, "Bai Zhi, go call your brother over first, and then find a way to contact Chief Sang as quickly as possible and have him bring out the news we want to spread. Remember, the more news the better."

Bai Zhi nodded, agreed and went out.

"Chenxiang, go find Shopkeeper Li and ask him to quickly organize a small banquet and invite all the storytellers and famous opera troupes he knows. We have to start the action tonight."

Chenxiang also nodded, and when she was about to go out, she came back and said, "We are both out, what should we do if something happens in the courtyard? How about I go out later?"

Gu Xunwei shook her head. "This matter is urgent. We should prioritize this matter over everything else. Please go and come back quickly. We have other things to do. This is a tough battle."

Chenxiang understood immediately after hearing this. Without further delay, he quickened his pace and ran out.

Gu Xunwei sorted out all her thoughts again. At this time, Zhu Da and a few trusted servants also arrived outside the yard.

Gu Xunwei came out and told Zhu Da, "In the next two days, you will go to a few teahouses with a lot of people. You will be responsible for collecting various news from the people and reporting them to the housekeeper in a timely manner. The housekeeper will be responsible for writing down the news on paper three times a day and passing it to Xunxiangyuan."

"If there is urgent news, you don't need to pass it on, just report directly to Xunxiangyuan."

Zhu Da and his companions nodded immediately, and after a brief discussion, they immediately started to act separately.

In less than an hour, Bai Zhi came back, not only bringing back the written message, but also bringing Chief Sang with her.

"Greetings, Madam Xie. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked Ye Ying and me to come here and await your orders." Sang Mo bowed and explained his purpose as soon as they met.

"Alright, please ask Chief Sang to arrange two good people behind him, one to keep an eye on Jianjia Courtyard, and the other to keep an eye on Prince An's Mansion, to see which channel the news came from, and we can quickly cut it off."

Gu Xunwei didn't hesitate and immediately assigned tasks to Sang Mo. She suspected that the matter must be related to the two of them, but no matter whether it was or not, there shouldn't be any problem in getting a grasp of their actions first.
