Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"Son, why don't you think about it? Why would Prince An give her a shop even though he is in such a state?" Qian said angrily, her son is really a fool.

What's going on between this man and woman that's worth a shop worth several hundred taels of silver?

"What ability does Gu Qiongsi have that would make Prince An give her a shop without blinking an eye? This matter itself is problematic, son..."

Qian's words shook Xie Cheng'an's original belief that the An royal family valued Gu Qiongsi's abilities.

"I understand what you mean, mother. I will pay more attention to it in the future." After Xie Cheng'an finished speaking, he didn't want to say anything more to his mother. He turned around and went back to the east wing where he lived. Dingxiang also followed him with her hips twisted.

For Xie Cheng'an now, even if he knew that Gu Qiongsi really had something going on with Prince An, it would be impossible for him to make this matter public, not to mention that it was just groundless speculation.

It's not like she hasn't been cuckolded before. If she really follows Prince An, she might get a lot of money.

Now, isn’t it true that the shop that Prince An gave to Gu Qiongsi is also the property of the Xie family?

Li Ma frowned and hugged the crying Xie Rui, and said to Qian in embarrassment, "Madam, I still have to help the master make medicine. What do you think?"

There was no way she could carry the child with her while she went to boil the medicine.

"Hey, he has been making such a fuss all the time. Doesn't he feel tired? I get a headache just listening to him. You should put him on the crib first." When Qian was in a bad mood, she had no intention of hugging Xie Rui.

She had already walked into the main room. Sitting on the soft couch in the living room was Master Xie, who was breathing heavily in pain.

"Master, are you feeling better? Nanny Li has gone to boil the medicine. You can take it again later." Qian walked to the couch with concern and spoke to Master Xie in a soft voice.

"Ahem, alas, An Ge'er's efforts over the years have been in vain. I feel very uncomfortable when I think about this..." Mr. Xie muttered while coughing.

"He could have pursued fame and fortune and lived a peaceful life, but it was you, ahem, it was you who led him astray."

He still complained, and Qian's face showed a helpless expression, "Master, things have come to this point. I already know I was wrong. Please don't think about these things for now. Your health is important. An Ge'er is still young. At worst, we can start over."

"Start all over again? Humph..." Mr. Xie had already calmed down. Even if he was still angry, he no longer had the energy to say anything else.

"It's all my fault. I was greedy and coveted the Gu family's wealth, so I persuaded An Ge'er to marry the Gu family's daughter. I had seen her at the time and thought that the Gu family's daughter would be easy to control. Who knew it would turn out like this? I can only blame her for being too pretentious."

Qian has realized her mistake, but is still trying to shift the blame onto Gu Xunwei.

Mr. Xie opened his eyelids and glared at Gu. He endured for a long time before he stopped himself from getting angry. He continued, "Now that things have come to this, there is no other way. You should discuss it with An Ge'er. Let's go back to Liuzhou for a while and stay out of the spotlight."

"I'm afraid this won't work," Qian said with some difficulty, "Master may not know that Brother An just told me that His Royal Highness Prince An seemed to have given Gu Qiongsi a shop and asked her to run it well."

After listening to this, Mr. Xie's eyes widened and he looked puzzled, but he soon thought of the Gu's incense recipe that Qian had mentioned to him.

"Gu Xunwei's incense shop couldn't continue and closed down. How do you think Gu Qiongsi can run the incense shop? I've heard that Wangyulou's business is getting more and more prosperous, and even the old customers of the Lian family have been taken over."

How could Mr. Xie not have thought of these things after observing from the sidelines for so long? Even when he went out for tea, he could hear people praising the incense of Wangyu Tower, saying that it was better than the previous incense of the Lian family. So, how much better could the incense of the Gu family be?

"That can't be said. After all, Gu Qiongsi's brain is still working well. With Prince An behind him, he might be able to become an imperial merchant like the Lian family." Qian still held on to a lucky mentality.

She really felt that as long as Gu Qiongsi's perfume was good, it would definitely be like this in the future.

Mr. Xie stopped talking. In his heart, he did not quite agree with this statement. However, how could he refute something that Qian and his son had decided?

He could only let out a long sigh, turned around and faced the inside, and stopped talking to Qian.

Bai Zhi had been hiding on the wall and observing secretly since Qian started cursing. Now she was standing in front of Gu Xunwei, describing to her with great excitement the chaos in the family at that time.

"Gu Qiongsi said that she wanted to study incense recipes?" Gu Xunwei quickly grasped the point and asked without waiting for Bai Zhi to say anything else.

"Yes, I heard it clearly at that time. It was said that Prince An gave her a shop."

Gu Xunwei's eyes narrowed slightly. Gu Qiongsi really should not be underestimated. She could still find a way to survive in such a situation. It seemed that she had not done enough.

"I want to send a message to Liuzhou. Chenxiang will prepare writing materials." Gu Xunwei suddenly spoke, and the two maids immediately began to prepare separately.

Gu Xunwei continued to ponder for a while, then walked to the table and wrote on the prepared note, "Father, please be sure to intercept Gu Ziheng's banknotes."

Gu Ziheng and Mrs. Du had been extremely anxious these past few days, and finally sold all the properties they could sell. Naturally, his father had lowered the price very low and then found his own people to buy them.

Even so, the two of them have now accumulated nearly 1,000 taels of silver, and they may arrange to send it to the capital in the near future.

Baizhi rolled up the written note and carefully put it into the bamboo tube before releasing the carrier pigeon in her hand.

Didn't Gu Qiongsi want to open an incense shop? Without money, she wanted to see what Gu Qiongsi would use to buy spices and make incense.

Or, could Xie Cheng'an still raise some money for her? Or, would she go to Prince An's Mansion to borrow money again?

Gu Xunwei curled the corners of her lips. This time, she wanted to see what other tricks Gu Qiongsi had.

This feeling was very good, just like the fun of a cat teasing a mouse. The feeling of being able to see all the other party's plans made Gu Xunwei feel once again that she had really wasted such a good brain in her previous life.

You were actually played around by a few people like this. This life is different. You all have to live well...
