Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 151: Taking a Concubine

Chenxiang agreed with a smile. This was the young lady's plan to disturb Gu Qiongsi's mood first. She wanted to see how long they could hold on.

Sang Mo was puzzled, "What does the young lady mean? Why do you suddenly want to give Xie Zhuangyuan a concubine?"

Bai Zhi glared at him. Even she understood what he meant. But this Sang Mo actually asked this question. It would be difficult for the young lady to answer. This was all a trick used by the harem.

"Chief Sang, I will be out in a while. I will explain it to you in detail." Bai Zhi said with a smile.

Gu Xunwei smiled obscurely, and then said, "It's okay, this is a strategy to win over the heart. I know Gu Qiongsi's pettiness best. There was a young man who liked her, but she didn't like him. But the young man turned around and asked to marry another girl, and she was upset for more than a month because of this."

At this time, even Dingxiang couldn't make her feel uncomfortable for so long, she would still feel uncomfortable for a day or two.

"With Prince An and Chengxinfang, doesn't Madam Xie plan to do anything?" Sang Mo still asked in confusion.

After all, Gu Qiongsi alone is not enough to plan these things. It must be Prince An Li Junze who is planning everything behind the scenes.

"We have the best information dissemination channels in our hands, so we don't have to worry too much about Chengxinfang's dissemination capabilities. What I'm thinking about now is why they suddenly wanted to spread the events at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. After all, the crime of making irresponsible remarks about the royal family is not a small one."

Gu Qiongsi did not pay much attention to Chengxinfang. She had some knowledge of that pawnshop before. It was a large shop but located in a remote area. The owner's surname was Niu, but he did not know much about running a business.

As soon as one looks at this configuration, it becomes clear that this shop does not rely on it to make money. It must have other uses, and now this use is revealed.

Sang Mo shook his head and said nonchalantly, "Madam Xie, you are worrying too much. Prince An enjoys making trouble for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He just wants to clear his name. Miss Sun hit her head against the pillar because she likes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or something like that."

Gu Xunwei looked hesitant. Gu Qiongsi should have been released from prison just the day before yesterday. At most, he went to see Prince An yesterday. Today, they have already started to spread the news. Gu Xunwei always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Although I have now turned the game around, I am unwilling to let them achieve their real goal.

……

The next morning, Gu Qiongsi had just woken up and wanted to call Dingxiang in to help him wash up, when he heard Qian's voice outside the door, "When...when did this happen? Why haven't I heard about it?"

Then came Chenxiang's voice, "Young Madam also thought of Dingxiang's diligence in taking care of the young master. Even though all of you were imprisoned, she did not slack off at all, so she agreed to make her the concubine."

Qian's voice suddenly became quiet, but Ding Xiang had already hugged Xie Rui and said to Chen Xiang, "Thank the young lady for me. Ding Xiang will definitely remember the young lady's kindness in the future."

After hearing Dingxiang say this, Gu Qiongsi could no longer sit still. He opened the door of the room and walked out regardless of anything. He saw Chenxiang holding a document and talking to several people.

Seeing her come out, Chenxiang smiled at her and said, "Aunt Gu, you will have a companion in the future."

Gu Qiongsi took two deep breaths and stared at the document in Chenxiang's hand, which turned out to be a document for taking a concubine.

"What? We have all been driven to Jianjia Courtyard, but the young lady is still not satisfied? Why does she want to humiliate us like this?" Gu Qiongsi asked bluntly.

Chen Xiang seemed not to hear the dissatisfaction in her tone, and said to Qian with a smile, "Young Madam is also considering what happened in Louwailou that day. It should have had a significant impact on the young master. It is not good to have no one to serve him all the time."

What she meant was that after what happened in Louwailou, she, Gu Qiongsi, could no longer serve Xie Chengan, so she promptly helped Xie Chengan take in another concubine.

Xie Cheng'an had been standing aside with a gloomy face and had not said a word. When he heard Chenxiang say this, it touched his heart. Although Dingxiang was just a servant, fortunately she was clean and smart.

What's more, the documents for taking a concubine have already been signed. Whether he agrees or not, Dingxiang is already his concubine.

Gu Qiongsi was so angry that his blood boiled in his chest and he almost vomited blood. "Young Madam is in charge of a lot. I wonder how her two shops are doing now?"

Gu Qiongsi saw Chenxiang's face change, she knew that the rumor she asked Jiao Dafu to spread about Qianxiang Pavilion's financial bankruptcy might have had some effect.

"The young lady said that even if the two shops are left there, they will not be rented or sold to people with ill intentions, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the original owner. Humph..." Chenxiang handed the document to Qian with a snort, and walked out of the yard with a displeased look on his face.

The Jianjia Courtyard suddenly became silent. Only Xie Rui was still twisting and turning uncomfortably in Dingxiang's arms.

"Since the documents for taking a concubine have already come down, it's too late to say you disagree now. I think, An'er, why don't you just... take Dingxiang in as your room." Qian looked at the concubine gifts brought by Chenxiang, and then looked at the documents for taking a concubine in her hand, and then said to Xie Chengan helplessly.

Xie Cheng'an glanced at Gu Qiongsi's angry face, and thought of her indifference to him last night, so he said angrily, "It's all up to mother."

After listening to this, Gu Qiongsi turned around and walked back into the house, closing the door with a bang, but her tears were already flowing uncontrollably.

Why, why do they treat themselves like this? Why do they push themselves?

Although she was in a bad mood, she packed up her things and went out to Prince An's Mansion again.

This time, she didn't let Shuangrui follow her. She decided not to talk to Xie Chengan for the next two days.

When they arrived at the meeting hall of Prince An's Mansion, Li Junze had already called the other three people over. This time they did not discuss the issue of spreading the news, but talked about those people who spread the news and were arrested by the Dali Temple.

"According to what my subordinates have inquired, a total of eighteen people were arrested, all of them charged with making irresponsible remarks about the royal family's affairs. In prison, each of them was tortured and forced to confess who provided them with the information. It seems that someone will definitely confess because of the smuggling." Wen Jiaxiang said helplessly.

They really didn't expect that the Dali Temple would screen out those who helped them spread the news so quickly. This was several days earlier than their initial guess.
