Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

If Gu Qiongsi doesn't take the money, will he really let Mr. Xie lie here like this?

Seeing that Qian still didn't understand, Gu Qiongsi had to make it clear, "Mother, Gu Xunwei is Sanlang's legitimate wife. Shouldn't she be the one to take care of things like this?"

"Will she...will she be willing?" Qian looked embarrassed. They had done that to Gu Xunwei, how could she be willing to give them the money now?

"Whether she is willing or not, her status is there, she has to take care of it." Gu Qiongsi felt a little disappointed, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone.

At this moment, the housekeeper hurried over and said to Qian, "Madam, the young mistress has brought her parents to pay her respects to the master."

Qian's eyes immediately widened, and she hurriedly followed the housekeeper out of the house and went to the yard to greet Gu Xunwei.

The three of them stood in the yard like that. When they saw Qian come out, Gu Xunwei spoke up, "Mother, please accept my condolences for father's matter."

Qian shed a few more tears. Although Mr. Xie was a complainer and scapegoat on weekdays, they had lived together for decades after all. How could he not have feelings for her?

"Come in with me and take a last look at your father." Qian said sadly to Gu Xunwei, and then led them into the house.

Gu Xunwei asked her parents to go into the house with her. The room was very narrow and damp. In the middle of the room was a pitch-black coffin. The lid had not been closed yet, and Master Xie was lying inside.

He was already dressed in shrouds and covered with silk quilts and pillows, which looked even more luxurious than usual.

When Gu Xunwei was thinking about her previous life, she realized that Mr. Xie actually passed away at about the same time as this life, and he did not cause any direct harm to her. At most, he knew about the conspiracy of Qian's mother and son, and he acquiesced to it.

Therefore, Gu Xunwei did not make it too difficult for them. After greeting Mr. Xie, Gu Xunwei said to Qian, "Mother, I will have someone send some things over later. Don't be too sad."

Gu Ziyu and Mrs. Du also exchanged a few words with her symbolically, and then the three of them left in a hurry.

Before leaving, Gu Xunwei did not forget to walk to Gu Qiongsi and whispered to her, "Aunt Gu, you should be more honest these days, don't shoot yourself in the foot."

After saying that, she went out, leaving Gu Qiongsi there with a clenched teeth in anger.

What did she mean by that? Why was he not being honest? Why did he shoot himself in the foot?

However, before she could think about it, Gu Xunwei had already found a lot of maids and servants, who came in one after another. Each of them held a tray in their hands, which was filled with all the items needed for the funeral, from white cloth to food, almost everything was covered.

And it seems that they were all purchased from outside in a hurry, but the variety is very complete.

Moreover, these maids and servants came out from the main gate of Gu's mansion, walked around most of the street, and entered from Jianjia Courtyard, attracting a lot of onlookers along the way.

When Gu Qiongsi saw that Gu Xunwei actually sent items directly, he immediately became angry. If she had sent silver, he might have been able to keep some for himself. However, she sent so many items in front of everyone, even Qian would be embarrassed to ask for money.

No, her incense shop is still short of some supplies. If this goes on, won’t she have to wait for a while?

So, she urged Qian again, "Mother, my father's death is such a big thing, how can the young lady just send some things over? There are places where money is needed everywhere. Do you think you need her to send some silver over?"

Qian thought about it and it made sense. How could she just send gifts? She had invited so many people to help, so she had to give them a thank-you reward. Since she had sent all the gifts, there was no reason for her not to pay the money.

However, after watching Gu Xunwei have people send over almost half a yard of things, she thought for a long time but still didn't have the courage to go over and ask for them.

Instead, he sent his two daughters to the Gu Mansion to ask Gu Xunwei for money.

Gu Xunwei was in Xunxiangyuan, and was racking her brains over what gift to give Li Junhao in return, when she heard Bai Zhi report that Xie Chengan's two sisters were coming to see her.

She didn't even need to think about it carefully to understand why the two people were looking for her. After tidying up a little, she went out in person to meet them at the Chuihua Gate without letting Zhu Da let them into the backyard.

Lest those with shortsighted eyes want everything they see.

"Oh, Wei'er, long time no see. Your skin is getting better and better." Xie Chengyu saw Gu Xunwei coming out with two maids, and without waiting for them to speak, he started praising her first.

Gu Xunwei smiled and said to her perfunctorily, "Sister's complexion is much better than the last time I saw her."

The expression on Xie Chengyu's face became unnatural. Gu Xunwei's attitude made her realize that it would be difficult to get the money.

But she was not someone who would give up easily. She smiled and said, "Looking at the furnishings in the mansion now, I know that Wei'er has redecorated the mansion again. It must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Gu Xunwei nodded, "Yeah, I threw away all the things I used before, and it did cost some money."

"You've seen what happened to father. We need money to take care of everything here. Mother doesn't have much either, so she sent us two to come over to get some. Look at this..."

Xie Chengyu said this shamelessly.

Bai Zhi was so angry that she raised her broom and was about to chase them out, but was stopped by Gu Xunwei. She raised her voice to Xie Chengyu and the others and said,

"How much silver do you plan to take, sister?"

"Eight... one hundred taels should be enough." Xie Chengyu changed his words temporarily. When he said eight, he felt that Gu Xunwei was so rich, and eighty taels for him was a little too little, so he changed it to one hundred taels.

If possible, my sister and I would have an extra twenty-two points.

"Sisters, please go back and tell mother that I have given my box of jewelry to my husband and Aunt Gu. The money is enough for them to hold two funerals for my father. I just don't know if they have given it to mother."

"What? There is such a thing?" Xie Chengyu was upset when she heard it. There was such a thing. Her mother must not have got it, otherwise she would not have let them come.

Xie Chengping was also surprised and asked, "Sister-in-law, when did this happen?"

Gu Xunwei did not answer, but smiled and said to her, "Why don't you go back and ask your husband?"
