Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Sang Mo saw the three people coming back, walked up to Gu Xunwei and said, "Thank you, Madam. Um, His Highness had something that was inconvenient to tell you just now, so he came here specially to wait for you."

"Oh, okay." Gu Xunwei nodded to Sang Mo, then turned and walked towards Li Junhao.

"I pay my respects to Your Highness."

Li Junhao extended his hand and asked her to sit down, then he said, "Today's chat with Master Gu made me... I am very yearning for it. The beautiful mountains and rivers of the Great Chu Kingdom and the various exotic spices have opened my eyes."

Gu Xunwei listened carefully. After he finished speaking, Gu Xunwei didn't grasp the main point of his words, so she looked up at the other party.

Li Junhao's jade-like face glowed softly under the moonlight, which made Gu Xunwei stare blankly.

"I took a quick look at the account books you brought over. Wangyulou's business has been getting better and better these days. The daily revenue is a huge number. I have never thought about this before."

After he finished speaking, he also looked at Gu Xunwei, "As the shopkeepers of Wangyu Tower, I would like to invite Madam Xie to go around with me to purchase and discover some new spices, just like Master Gu did in the past. What do you think, Madam Xie?"

When Li Junhao talked about this, he had a nonchalant expression and acted in a businesslike manner, which made Gu Xunwei angry in her heart, wondering if she had misunderstood. His Highness just wanted to take the business of Wangyu Tower seriously, and it had nothing to do with anything else.

However, her heart was still beating wildly. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Sang Mo, who was standing beside her, say to Bai Zhi, "Xiao Bai, come here, go with the good guy who is full of bad intentions to prepare some refreshments for His Highness."

Bai Zhi immediately lowered her head guiltily. It was really embarrassing to be caught on the spot for saying bad things about someone.

After hearing this, Chenxiang followed them and left, preparing to get some snacks for the two of them.

On this side, Gu Xunwei saw that there were only two people left, so she didn't hesitate too much and said, "I am very happy that Your Highness attaches so much importance to Wangyu Tower. However, I am worried that Your Highness is very busy, so it is better not to force such a thing."

"Well, I understand your concerns. It's definitely not going to work in the near future. It will probably take a year or two for me to deal with some things. Are you willing to wait, Mrs. Xie?"

Li Junhao's words made Gu Xunwei confused. What was she waiting for? Was she waiting for him to take care of some things and then go to travel with her to visit famous mountains and rivers? Such things, no matter how she thought about it, should have another meaning.

But she couldn't figure it out, so she could only nod and say, "I can... I can wait."

"Well, that's good." After Li Junhao said this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a beautiful smile.

"As for Gu Qiongsi and Xie Chengan, how does Mrs. Xie plan to deal with them?" Li Junhao got the answer he wanted and immediately changed the subject.

Gu Xunwei was still thinking about the question of "Are you willing to wait?", when she suddenly heard Li Junhao's question, she quickly retracted her thoughts and thought for a while before answering.

"They are already like this now. There is no need for me to do anything about many things. They can make themselves miserable. So what I will do next is just adding fuel to the fire and making things worse."

Gu Xunwei didn't care much. Now that she saw their situation, the depression in her heart was no longer as great as before. However, there were many things she still needed to avenge for herself and her parents in her previous life.

"You, why do you have to treat them like this? Is it because of your dream?" Li Junhao was a little puzzled. She spent so much time and effort to make the two of them look so miserable now. She clearly had the ability to make them even worse, but she didn't do it.

It's like pushing two people into a quagmire, watching them struggle and cry for help in the quagmire, but not offering any help at all. Instead, when they finally grab a life-saving straw, you kick them and throw the life-saving straw away.

The thing that could make Gu Xunwei do such a thing could not be explained by betrayal. Or, in fact, Gu Xunwei was really in love with Xie Chengan, so her betrayal was even more unacceptable.

Gu Xunwei didn't know how to explain it, but Li Junhao had mentioned before that he didn't want to hear about his dreams anymore, so she fell silent for a moment.

While thinking about how she should answer this question, she suddenly remembered something that happened when she was seriously ill. When Xie Rui was feeding her medicine, he told her what he overheard.

At that time, Xie Cheng'an was about to be promoted to the position of Minister of Rites, and the Third Prince, Prince An, had always been trusted by the Emperor, and even later overshadowed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, on the day when he was seriously ill, Xie Rui mentioned the Eleventh Prince.

Li Junhao watched her face suddenly turn pale from rosy just now, and even showed a look of fear on her face. He wondered if he asked this question too abruptly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, that..." Gu Xunwei opened her mouth and spoke with difficulty, but she didn't know how to continue speaking halfway through.

"Mrs. Xie, you don't have to worry too much. Just tell me whatever you want to say." He seemed to see Gu Xunwei's concerns and spoke.

"The eleventh prince, after the Empress Dowager passed away, he asked to go to the imperial mausoleum to observe mourning for three years, and then return to the palace after three years..." Gu Xunwei still didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Because what happened next was too unbelievable, and coming from the mouth of a four or five-year-old child, she really didn't dare to speak rashly.

Li Junhao also figured it out. She was remembering the scene in her dream again, and it seemed to be about the eleventh prince.

"The eleventh brother is Li Junsheng. He is smart and clever. His mother is my mother's younger sister, so he is also the brother with whom I have the closest relationship." Li Junhao explained to her with a smile.

However, his explanation did not make Gu Xunwei relax at all. She still looked nervous. Fortunately, Chenxiang, Baizhi and others came back and served them cakes and tea.

Sang Mo said with an apologetic look on his face, "Your Highness, Lord Yan just sent a message asking us to go to the Dali Temple, saying that there was a major discovery."

Li Junze stood up, straightened his wrinkled hem, and then said goodbye to Gu Xunwei. What he had not finished saying just now could only wait until the next time they met.

"Farewell, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Xunwei saluted Li Junhao as usual. Knowing that his official business was more important, she had to swallow back the words she had just said.
