Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"If you really beat the drum to report this, you may never get over this matter again. Don't struggle anymore. Just settle down first."

Li Junze sighed, and then slowly said, "Aren't you going to open an incense shop? It's a good opportunity to open the shop and make some good incense products. It won't be a bad thing for you."

"I'll have the butler deliver the deed to the shop to you in a moment, come back now."

Gu Qiongsi's eyes were already filled with tears, but she was stubborn and refused to let them flow out. After a brief silence, she nodded, indicating her agreement.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Qingzhu will definitely run the incense shop well and will not let Your Highness down."

After seeing Gu Qiongsi off, Li Junze angrily kicked a flower stand to the ground. If his grandfather had not stopped him, he would definitely not let the person behind it go.

Gu Qiongsi followed Shuangrui back to Jianjiayuan with a restless heart, and saw Xie Chengan and Qian standing under the light at the door.

Both of them looked very unhappy, and Gu Qiongsi knew that his situation today might not be good.

"You troublemaker, you are capable, but how did you end up like this? Now everyone in the capital knows that you are a slut." Without waiting for her to come over, Qian started scolding her as soon as she entered the door.

"What sin did our Xie family commit to bring a woman like you who causes trouble everywhere into our family? Oh, God..."

Qian's voice pierced the night sky sharply, causing Xie Cheng'an to frown. However, he did not stop his mother from yelling and cursing. Instead, he looked at Gu Qiongsi in the yard with an unfriendly look.

Gu Qiongsi pursed her lips tightly and said nothing. She pushed the door and was about to walk into her room, but was stopped by Xie Chengan. "Why, after making things like this, do you want to just ignore it?"

Gu Qiongsi turned around and took a look at Xie Cheng'an's furious look. She ignored Qian's continued yelling and lowered her voice and said, "Sanlang, you let your mother do this. Do you really not plan to stay in the capital?"

"You...what do you mean?" Xie Cheng'an immediately hesitated again, but considering the current situation, no matter how much Gu Qiongsi torments her, can she really turn things around again?

"Prince An has given me a shop. From tomorrow on, I will really start to prepare for the incense shop. Please tell my mother, Sanlang. If she keeps making noises like this, I won't be able to calm down and study the incense recipes."

Gu Qiongsi said this indifferently, then slammed the door and walked into the room, slamming the door shut with a bang.

She felt very upset. How did things turn out like this? It seemed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been the heir to the throne for several years, and the resources he had were much better than those of Prince An.

After such a fight, the winner will be decided immediately.

In addition, the news she heard in Prince An's Mansion today was that Prince An's grandfather, Scholar Wang, had actually resigned from office and retired as soon as possible. Come to think of it, this time point must be related to what happened at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

Even Master Wang has fallen flat on his face. From now on, I really have to bide my time and accumulate strength in secret.

The door behind them slammed open and was pushed open forcefully. Ding Xiang walked in holding Xie Rui, who was babbling.

"I've been running around all day and didn't even have time to see my son. I came all the way to bring him to you." Ding Xiang said angrily, then threw Xie Rui onto the crib and walked out quickly.

Are you kidding? She is already an aunt now, there is no reason for her to help others take care of children all day long.

She didn't come back the whole day today, so I had to watch over her for another day.

If I don't let it go, I might end up becoming a full-time wet nurse in the future.

After Xie Rui was put on the crib, his babbling turned into crying. Gu Qiongsi looked at Xie Rui calmly and turned to go into the inner room.

She didn't even have the intention to hug him.

Xie Chengan heard Xie Rui crying outside the courtyard and knew that Gu Qiongsi was in a bad mood today and might not be able to take care of Xie Rui. So he said to Qian who had already stopped,

"Mother, you should bring Rui Ge'er to your room these few days. After all, he is the eldest son of our Xie family. We can't let Gu Qiongsi lead him astray, right?"

In fact, after Qian came out of prison, her health had deteriorated significantly, but she was still holding on. Mr. Xie had already fallen ill.

In the current situation, it's okay to play occasionally, but there's no way she can take Xie Rui with her. However, when she glanced at Ding Xiang, she found that she was looking at Xie Chengan with tenderness on her face.

I guess the two of them had just gotten together, and Dingxiang was still dreaming of becoming the wife of the top scholar.

Therefore, Qian had no choice but to nod and ask Li Ma to go into the room and carry out Xie Rui who was crying non-stop.

"Now that things have turned out like this, do you have any plans for the future?" Qian held her chest, sat on the mossy steps, and gasped.

Xie Chengan shook his head. What happened today had blocked all his ways out.

He originally planned to change his appearance and live in a place where no one knew him.

At least in the next few years, he probably won’t come back.

But when he heard Gu Qiongsi talking about the incense recipe just now, his mind became active again.

Yes, with Gu's incense recipe, they can completely leave the officialdom and work hard in the business world. If they can make the incense shop successful, their lives will get better little by little.

What's more, Gu Xunwei is in the capital, so how can they leave and let that merchant girl get away with it?

"Mother, we can only take things one step at a time now. If we really can't stay here any longer, can't we still go back to Liuzhou?"

"But now, we have to continue to stay in the capital. We still have to open a perfume shop with Gu Qiongsi."

After hearing what Xie Cheng'an said, Qian didn't feel happy at all. "Brother An, do you still want to continue to believe in that woman Gu Qiongsi? Hasn't she harmed us enough?"

"Look at your father. He is so angry that he can't get out of bed. He is a scholar and has always valued his reputation. Now he is like this. I am really worried that he can't bear it."

"Mother," Xie Cheng'an patted Qian's arm soothingly, and then explained to him, "Prince An has not given up on Gu Qiongsi. She just told me that Prince An gave her a shop so that she can run the incense shop well."

"I believe that Prince An will still consider employing us in the future." Xie Cheng'an could only say nice things to his mother.
