Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"Baizhi, has Nighthawk come today?" Gu Xunwei came out to take a breath, and in between, she did not forget to ask Baizhi who was feeding the pigeons.

"Replying to the young madam, I've been here and said that the current situation is still the same and there is no special change." Bai Zhi threw the last bit of food in her hand to the pigeon, then clapped her hands and walked in front of Gu Xunwei with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Is the young lady also concerned about Ding Xiang?"

When Gu Xunwei heard her words, her cheeks immediately turned red with embarrassment, "Bai Zhi, stop talking nonsense, I... I'm just worried that Gu Qiongsi will do something else."

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the top of the wall, "Young Madam is right to worry. Aunt Gu is not someone you can rest assured about. Humph..."

As Sang Mo spoke, he jumped down from the top of the wall.

"You, why did you come here in broad daylight?" Bai Zhi immediately asked him anxiously, but she did not dare to speak too loudly for fear of being heard by people outside the yard.

Sang Mo smiled brightly, showing his big white teeth, then blinked at Bai Zhi and said, "It will be much more convenient for me to come to you in the future."

Gu Xunwei frowned a little. It seemed that their conversation was totally inconsistent.

"Chief Sang, come here. Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have any instructions for you?" Gu Xunwei asked, interrupting Bai Zhi's anger that was about to explode.

"Oh, Madam Xie, it's not about Your Highness. I just had nothing to do these two days so I came to visit." Sang Mo still said with a smile.

"Visit...visit neighbors? Lord Sang is really free, but if you come here like this, you will disturb our young lady from making incense. You should visit other families in the future." Bai Zhi ignored her and continued to retort.

Gu Xunwei noticed something unusual in Sang Mo's smile. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then she couldn't help but widen her eyes, "You, you guys..."

The current courtyard of the Gu Mansion is located in the third house on the eastern section of the South Lane in the capital, adjacent to the residence of Lord Niu, a fifth-rank Grand Historian. Lord Niu is next to the courtyard. Could it be that... ?

No, probably not.

Gu Xunwei shook her head and threw away the guess in her mind because she thought that her idea was too ridiculous.

However, Sang Mo's words made her open her eyes wide again.

Then Sang Mo walked past them, then walked to the stone bench in the yard, sat down, and said with a smile, "From now on, we will be neighbors."

"What?" Bai Zhi almost bit her tongue.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered and quickly said to Gu Xunwei, "Young Madam, I heard from my brother two days ago that Lord Niu and his family seemed to be moving, and my brother went over to help."

Gu Xunwei was a little confused for a moment. Shouldn't the prince live in the East Palace? How could he live outside the palace?

Sang Mo seemed to see through her confusion, and continued with Bai Zhi's words, "Your Highness may need to go out more and more in the future. It just so happens that Lord Niu has chosen a better house, so we are lucky to be neighbors."

Sang Mo did not say how much effort he had put in to force Lord Niu to move out of the house. It was all so bitter and tearful just to talk about it.

Sang Mo's words were half true and half false, and Gu Xunwei was half-believing and half-doubting, but she did not dwell on it too much. After all, these things had nothing to do with her.

So she said sensibly, "Chief Sang, it's rare for His Royal Highness to leave the palace. How about I take the account books with me today and meet His Royal Highness to report on the store's situation in the past few days?"

Although she was asking questions, she acted as if she was the shop owner, seizing the right opportunity to report her earnings to her master.

"Okay, I came here today just for this matter. Let's climb over the wall to avoid taking a detour." Sang Mo wanted to take them over immediately to see the small courtyard that he had someone clean up.

Gu Xunwei said, "No hurry, my parents have already come from Liuzhou, and they fully support our cooperation, so I want to bring my parents over to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After hearing this, Sang Mo could only nod again, "Okay, whatever you guys want, I'll go and tell His Highness that we'll prepare a small dinner party tonight, hehe..."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Xunwei to react, he leaped up onto the wall with a beautiful leap and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Every time Bai Zhi saw him do this, she was filled with envy. She had learned it privately countless times, but she could never do it as cleanly and neatly as Chief Sang.

But this time, she was not in the mood to appreciate it. She walked a few steps to Gu Xunwei's side and lowered her voice again, "Madam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he won't have any other thoughts about you, right?"

Gu Xunwei raised her hand and tapped Bai Zhi's forehead gently, then said, "What are you thinking about? His Highness is such a person. He must have his own reasons for doing things. Don't make random guesses here."

Bai Zhi's words made Gu Xunwei's cheeks blush. She naturally had not thought about the things Bai Zhi said, and she dared not imagine such a thing. But when she heard her words, she was still too embarrassed to know how to refute.

Even so, she did not think about it, but was still thinking about why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly wanted to buy a house outside. Will he live outside often in the future?

Logically speaking, as a prince, the heir apparent to a country, this is against the rules.

After thinking hard for a long time, she still had no clue, so she had to let Chenxiang prepare the account books, while she packed up a little and went to Mingde Hall to explain the situation to her parents.

Meanwhile, Bai Zhi and Chen Xiang exchanged glances. Seeing Gu Xunwei walking out, Bai Zhi couldn't help but said to Chen Xiang, "How about we make a bet? I think something is wrong with this."

Chen Xiang rolled her eyes at her and said, "I'm going to prepare the account books. You follow the young lady and stop talking nonsense, okay?"

"Okay, got it." Bai Zhi covered her mouth with her hand and trotted out following Gu Xunwei.

Chen Xiang shook her head impatiently, muttering softly, "After all, you are already a 15-year-old girl, why can't you control your mouth? Even if you know it's true, you can't just say such things."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head to sort out the account books that Gu Xunwei had already read, and immediately stopped what she was doing, "No, no, how can this be true."
