Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"Si'er, don't worry, I will go find Gu Xunwei now and make her agree to let you enter the mansion as a co-wife." Xie Cheng'an could naturally guess what Gu Qiongsi was thinking. He helped her wipe the tears from her cheeks and said as if promising.

"Okay, Si'er will listen to Sanlang." Gu Qiongsi nodded in a low voice, but she couldn't stop the tears in her eyes.

A concubine? Even if they are concubines, there are older and younger wives.

Xie Chengan felt more and more distressed as he watched her, and he kept speaking softly to comfort her.

Tomorrow is the Qionglin Banquet. Such a thing happened at this time. The person behind all this is really hateful. If he can find out who it is in the future, he will definitely tear him into pieces.

Gu Xunwei deliberately stayed in the shopping street for a while, and went to Yaxiangzhai to see Zhu Da coming back with a crib. After making sure that he was not being followed, she met Sang Mo who had been following her looking for opportunities.

He appeared just as Gu Xunwei was about to get on the carriage, and after bowing to Gu Xunwei, he said, "The master wants to see the lady, please go to Louwailou."

Gu Xunwei had naturally thought of this situation. The prince would definitely make an appointment with her after seeing her letter. She had not returned home yet today because she was waiting for Sang Mo to show up.

After she was reborn, she thought hard for a long time and decided to rely on the Crown Prince so that she would have the strength to compete with the Third Prince in the future.

That's why there was such a letter. No matter what kind of person the prince is, after seeing the contents of the letter, he will meet with me.

When Gu Xunwei arrived at the entrance of Louwailou, a servant led her all the way to the private room on the third floor.

"I'm Gu Xunwei, a commoner, paying my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Xunwei saluted.

Li Junhao had a cold expression on his face and shifted his gaze from the teacup to the woman in front of him.

She was wearing a long lavender skirt that fluttered like smoke, and a tight-fitting aqua-green silk top embroidered with exquisite silver thread patterns.

There was only a jade hairpin in her hair, and the head of the hairpin was inlaid with a pearl, emitting a soft luster.

Her clothes were ordinary, but the fabric and workmanship were expensive. Her face was beautiful and refined, with long eyebrows. Although she was just a business woman, she exuded a sense of nobility and elegance.

"Stand up." Li Junhao finally spoke, and Sang Mo, who was standing behind him, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Gu Xunwei stood up neither humbly nor arrogantly, then stood still, waiting for Li Junhao to speak.

"You saved my guard. What reward do you want?" Li Junhao tapped the table with his fingers. He hesitated for a long time but still did not ask about the letter.

"..."

Gu Xunwei's polite words went around in her mind, but she still didn't say it out loud. "I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to hand over Jinxiu Pavilion to me. I am willing to devote all my energy to help Your Highness build an inexhaustible purse."

Jinxiu Pavilion is a fabric shop with average business, but Gu Xunwei knew in her previous life that the owner behind Jinxiu Pavilion is the prince.

What’s more important is that Jinxiu Pavilion is located right opposite Yaxiangzhai, and its area is several times larger than Yaxiangzhai.

Li Junhao glanced sideways. This woman was quite arrogant and spoke so directly. Considering her position in the Gu family spice business, how dare she say such things?

"All the incense shops of the Gu family are currently distributed in five states and counties, with a total of twelve incense shops. From now on, all of them will be closed and only this one will be operated. Your Highness will get 80% of the profits, and the Gu family will get 20%. Please consider the above."

Gu Xunwei told all her plans in a calm tone. She felt relieved but also a little nervous, fearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would look down on the profits and would not agree to her proposal.

After all, except for Louwailou, which is doing relatively well, all other businesses of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the capital are half-dying, and it is obvious that his energy is not here.

"Okay, let's split the benefits equally." This time Li Junhao didn't hesitate too much. Since she just said that this was a reward for her, then there was no reason for him to refuse. "Sang Mo, you will start to handle this matter in the next two days."

After saying that, Li Junhao served tea and saw the guest off.

After all, for Li Junhao at this moment, making money from those shops was secondary. Gathering information was the most important thing. The loss of Jinxiu Pavilion was not a big deal.

Gu Xunwei walked out of Louwailou with a rare sincere smile on her face. The deal was actually made. As expected, her guess was right. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a grateful man. After all, she was holding on to a strong man.

Even if her business grows bigger in the future, she won't have to worry about anyone coveting it. In this life, she wants to put her efforts into running her business well.

Li Junhao from Louwailou stood by the window and watched Gu Xunwei get on the carriage. Then he said to Sang Mo, who looked troubled, "If you have anything to say, say it."

Sang Mo finally had some time to describe to the prince what happened today, when she saw Gu Xunwei watching her husband and his mistress being discovered. At the end, she said, "From your perspective, Madam Xie is the one who planned this. It is said that the mistress is Madam Xie's cousin."

The prince looked out the window at the street again, said nothing, and began to drink his tea quietly.

When they returned to the Xie family, it was already completely dark. Qian and Mr. Xie were sitting in the hall of the main house. In front of them was kneeling Gu Qiongsi, who was pregnant and looked like she was about to give birth, crying.

Seeing Gu Xunwei coming in, Qian glared at Gu Qiongsi fiercely, then stood up and grabbed Gu Xunwei's arm, "Weier, you're finally back."

Gu Xunwei was about to greet Qian and Mr. Xie, but she saw Gu Qiongsi kneeling on the ground. She opened her mouth in surprise, "Cousin...cousin, what are you doing...oh, when did you get pregnant? Why didn't Weier hear about your marriage?"

Gu Qiongsi didn't have the face to explain such a thing, she just knelt on the ground with her belly sticking out, without even a cushion to cushion her.

"My cousin ran away secretly without following the proper etiquette and got pregnant before marriage. Does Second Aunt know about this? No, why are you in Xie's family?" Gu Xunwei seemed to have just realized that something was wrong. She looked at Qian Shi and then at Xie Cheng'an in confusion.

Xie Chengan had already lost his patience, and said with a frown, "Si'er's child is mine, I want to marry her as my co-wife."

Not to discuss, but to inform.

"What...what? How could it be? How is it possible?" Gu Xunwei kept shaking her head in disbelief and turned to look at Qian.

Qian nodded helplessly, "Hey, Wei'er, it's normal for men to have three wives and four concubines since ancient times. Don't be too surprised. Just now, Brother An brought this bitch back, and your father-in-law and I have already taught them a lesson."
