Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Gu Xunwei then revealed a look of reluctance, looking at Qian and saying, "In that case, let's do as my cousin wishes. Tomorrow my husband will attend the Qionglin Banquet, and I will ask Chenxiang to arrange for my cousin to take a concubine."

After she finished speaking, she went into the east wing without looking back and did not come out for a long time.

Qian looked at Mr. Xie who had been silent the whole time, and then said, "How did things turn out like this? Oh..."

After she finished speaking, she stamped her feet in hatred, then ran anxiously to the door of the west wing to wait for the birth of the child.

In Qian's heart, she didn't know whether to blame Gu Qiongsi for being shameless or Xie Chengan for being so reckless.

Mr. Xie was still sitting on the stool. He had met many people, so he naturally realized that Gu Xunwei today seemed different from what they had thought before. The look in her eyes when she looked at An'er no longer had the same flattery as before.

Because it was a premature birth, Gu Qiongsi groaned in pain until the second half of the night, and finally gave birth to the baby when it was almost dawn.

Gu Xunwei later also waited outside the door with Xie Chengan and his mother. The midwife ran out happily, holding a baby wrapped in a quilt, and shouted to Xie Chengan, "Congratulations, it's a little master, and both mother and child are safe."

When Xie Chengan heard this, he immediately laughed out loud, walked over and took a look, then shouted, "There is a reward."

Shuangrui held up a few red envelopes and handed them to the midwife and the maid who was helping. After taking the red envelopes, they smiled and carried the children into the house.

After all, it is February now and the weather is still a bit chilly. The children cannot stay outside for long.

Qian hurriedly stopped Xie Chengan who was about to go in, and said, "Brother An, it's not appropriate for you to go in now. Now that you know that mother and child are safe, you should pack up quickly and prepare to go to the Qionglin Banquet."

Xie Chengan wanted to take a look at the west wing, but then he heard Gu Xunwei persuade him, "Husband, mother and I are here, so you can go without worry."

Xie Cheng'an had to give up the idea of ​​waiting any longer. Although it was not yet dawn, if he wanted to enter the palace, he needed to wait at the palace gate early.

So he glared at Gu Xunwei fiercely again, then took Shuangrui out of the backyard and went to the study in the front yard to get dressed.

At today's Qionglin Banquet, Xie Cheng'an, the top scholar, is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, and he cannot afford to make any mistakes.

Qian no longer cared about anything else. She lifted the curtain and entered the west wing. Gu Xunwei had no choice but to follow her in.

There was debris everywhere in there, and the smell of dust was strong, but now it was completely covered by the strong smell of blood.

Gu Qiongsi was lying weakly on the bed, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was so tired that he was about to fall asleep. When he saw the two people coming in, he had to force himself to wake up and struggled to greet them.

"No, no, please. Let me see my grandson." As Qian entered the room, her eyes were fixed on the child in Mother Wu's arms. However, because the child was born about a month prematurely, the child's crying just now sounded very weak.

Mother Wu held the child and moved closer to Qian, "Madam, look, the young master has opened his eyes and is looking at you."

Qian quickly reached out to lift the corner of the quilt, revealing a little face. "Tsk tsk, you really look like An Ge when he was born. They are cut from the same mold."

Gu Xunwei listened to their interaction woodenly. As for the child, she had no intention of looking at him at all. The last words of the child in the previous life faintly rang in her ears again.

"Mom, why hasn't she died yet? Didn't you tell me that she would die after taking the last dose of medicine today, so that you can be my mother?"

A little four-year-old child actually said such cruel words. Even if she was not his biological mother, she had raised him for three years after all. It was really heartbreaking that she gave herself the heart-breaking medicine with her own hands.

"Mother, if there is nothing else, your daughter-in-law will prepare to move into the new house. After all, we need to do some simple tidying up there and buy some furniture and other items." Gu Xunwei said depressedly when she saw Qian holding the child lovingly.

"Go, go, move Aunt Gu's yard closer to mine, so it will be more convenient for my grandson to come over." Qian said without raising her head.

Gu Xunwei replied "yes" and left with Chenxiang and Baizhi, leaving Dingxiang to help Qian take care of Gu Qiongsi and his son.

When Gu Qiongsi heard Qian call her "Aunt Gu", her heart skipped a beat. She had finally ruined the chess game she had planned for so long.

It would probably be very difficult to turn things around in the future, but when she looked at her son in Qian's arms, her heart was immediately filled with fighting spirit.

The front yard of the new house is very spacious. In addition to the five back rooms, there is also a study and a tea room.

The backyard is divided into three courtyards, and there is a nice small garden in the yard. The previous owner was very particular about it and planted flowers, plants and trees with great care, including some of the green plants that Gu Xunwei likes.

In her previous life, Gu Xunwei spent most of her time educating Xie Rui and tending to flowers and plants, but rarely spent time delving into making incense. In fact, she herself had a very good talent in making incense, which was why her father taught her the Gu family incense recipe when she was very young.

Not only has her sense of smell been exceptionally sensitive since she was a child, but she can also roughly guess the proportions of the finished fragrance based on the smell as long as she knows the raw materials.

Therefore, in this life she could not be as decadent as she was in her previous life. She must have a special incense-making room and a garden for growing spices in her yard.

She had already made all the plans before she bought the yard.

As she looked around, Bai Zhi still couldn't calm down and said angrily, "Madam, do you really want to buy more furniture here? They treated you like that, will you still give them money to support them?"

Chenxiang touched Baizhi with her arm, but Baizhi still didn't stop. "From what I can see, they did it on purpose. Aunt Gu did such a thing. If Master and Madam Gu knew about it, they would be very upset."

Gu Xunwei felt bitter when she saw her angry expression. Yes, she was so stupid in her previous life. Not only did she raise a son for them, she also worked hard to earn money to support the Xie family, and she also ran around to make arrangements, so that Xie Cheng'an became a generous nobleman in the eyes of the nobles in Beijing.

"Bai Zhi, as long as I am Xie Chengan's wife, I have to do these things. However, since it is arranged by me, then they must accept my arrangements. Do you understand?" Gu Xunwei reached out and touched a rockery stone, and said thoughtfully.

"But..." Bai Zhi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chenxiang, who already understood the meaning of Gu Xunwei's words.

"Young Madam, I've already looked around. Your courtyard can be filled with our own dowry. The furniture in Madam's room and Young Master's study need to be rearranged. Aunt Gu's courtyard also needs to be arranged. Where do you think we should go to order it?" Chenxiang asked.

"Well, let's go to Muxin Craftsman's House. Just use the most common wood and choose a more ordinary style. Let's make a budget of two hundred and fifty taels of silver." Gu Xunwei thought about it and said so.

With a "puchi" sound, Bai Zhi finally laughed. She finally understood what the lady meant. Two hundred and fifty taels of silver were needed to furnish the furniture in two or three rooms, as well as the furnishings in the main hall, etc. How bad would the furniture be?

"Okay, Madam, I'll arrange it right away." She agreed and left with a smile.
