Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 205: Rumors Resurface

Look, this kind of prince is the crown prince that Yan Nangui is willing to follow. He is righteous and impartial. This kind of person is the one they should follow all their lives and treat with all their heart.

Yan Nangui and Jian Liangce looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

At this time, Jian Liangce said shyly, "Your Highness, last time I heard Chief Sang say that there seems to be a book about the Shu embroidery techniques of the previous dynasty in your storeroom. I wonder if I can borrow it to read?"

When Yan Nangui heard Jian Liangce say this, he thought of his own book "The Detective Cases of Mr. Bao", which had three volumes in total. It took him so long to finish reading the entire collection. Alas, thinking of the torment he felt, he couldn't help but sigh.

Li Junhao knew that Jian Liangce had begun to clean up the chaos in the officialdom since he arrived in Suzhou, and at the same time improved the reputation of Suzhou as the hometown of embroidery. Not only did he continue to promote embroidery, he also organized an embroidery competition every two months.

This has also resulted in the quality and style of the embroidery and brocade manufactured in Suzhou and sent to the palace recently being much better than before.

He must want to apply the techniques in the book to Suzhou's embroidery craft, which is naturally a good thing.

Aren’t the many books collected from the public in the library of his East Palace used for this purpose?

"Yes, it's OK. After a few days, I will ask Chief Sang to go back to the East Palace and bring it to you."

Jian Liangce immediately expressed his gratitude profusely, and his admiration for His Highness reached a new level.

Yan Nangui asked cautiously, "I wonder how many volumes of that book there are?"

When Li Junhao saw his look, he tried to hold back his laughter, but Sang Mo, who was behind him, couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing.

Sang Mo realized his impoliteness and immediately returned to his usual expression, but he couldn't hide the smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"Master Yan, there is only one book on Shu embroidery techniques." Sang Mo answered for Li Junhao...

Qian and Xie Cheng'an have been dealing with Mr. Xie's funeral these two days. Gu Xunwei has not appeared since the first day, but she has sent people to deliver some necessary items to them every day.

Anything more doesn't matter.

In consideration of the items sent over, Qian and Xie Cheng'an also reached an agreement not to provoke Gu Xunwei, lest she would not send these items either.

However, Gu Qiongsi didn't think so. She once again used money to spread rumors about Gu Xunwei everywhere.

The general meaning is that she is indeed a merchant girl. Her father-in-law has passed away, but she refuses to even show her face. She really has no sense of etiquette at all.

It is said that her parents moved into the Xie Mansion, but drove all the members of the Xie family to live in a small courtyard. How ridiculous is this?

After listening to this, Gu Xunwei smiled coldly. Gu Qiongsi just didn't learn his lesson. He just wanted to live an honest life and had to provoke her.

"Chenxiang, tell Manager Li to find a way to spread the word to Gu Qiongsi. The influence of the few people she found is too small."

"Ah, Madam, what are you going to do?"

Bai Zhi didn't understand, scratched her head and asked in surprise.

"Of course I'm just making an excuse. I don't want to show up at the funeral tomorrow." Gu Xunwei gave a simple answer, and Chenxiang responded and turned to leave.

Shopkeeper Li is living a very comfortable life now. Every day he either drinks tea or spends time in teahouses and restaurants. He has become a lot more mellow.

His biggest role now is to grasp all kinds of information in the capital, and to pass some information out as he is doing now.

Sure enough, only half a day later, Qian and Xie Cheng'an heard the rumors. Just as they were about to ask Gu Qiongsi about it, Bai Zhi ran over angrily and shouted,

"You are so heartless. My young mistress braved the hot weather and bought you so many things every day, but you framed her like this.

Now she is fine, she is sick from anger, you can buy the remaining items by yourselves."

There were many managers and people who came to help in Jianjia Courtyard at this time. When they heard Bai Zhi say this, they all gathered around to watch the fun.

"Baizhi, what are you talking about? Why did you ask us to make up a story? What did we make up?" Qian was a little confused and very annoyed by Baizhi's incoherent words.

"Humph, you are still playing dumb. My young mistress heard those rumors on the street, saying that she was unreasonable. She has already reported it to the authorities, and the court has already investigated the case. It turned out that Aunt Gu paid them to spread it. You are really shameless."

"You took my young lady's belongings while spending money to frame her. Why don't you think about why my young lady didn't want to come? Think about the dirty things you did in the past. How can you have the face to do this..."

Before Bai Zhi could say anything more unpleasant, she was pulled back by Chenxiang who was standing beside her. She stopped talking, snorted coldly, and turned away without waiting for anyone to react.

Qian and Xie Cheng'an looked at each other and asked Shuangrui to call Gu Qiongsi over from the mourning hall.

"Kneel down." Qian saw her come in and shouted. She was already extremely angry. How could she endure it at this moment?

Although Gu Qiongsi was in the mourning hall just now, she heard every word Bai Zhi shouted, and was extremely shocked at this moment.

She never thought that Gu Xunwei would report such a thing to the police. The key point was that the government accepted the case and interrogated her and found out that she had paid money to spread the news.

How could she be willing to kneel down when she heard Qian's words asking her to do so? Although what she had done was discovered, she did not think she had done anything wrong.

"Mother, I don't know what I did wrong. You want me to kneel down?"

Qian pointed at her nose angrily and said to Xie Cheng'an, "Brother An, see, this is the lover you chose in the beginning. Not only does she disturb the peace of the family, but she also stirs up trouble everywhere. Sooner or later, she will break up the Xie family."

Xie Chengan was also very angry. He looked at Gu Qiongsi with some resentment, and then said, "Gu Qiongsi, why did you bother her for no reason? Now that she refuses to send any more items, is this what you want?"

Gu Qiongsi stiffened her neck, not looking like she had done anything wrong. She naturally had not expected things to develop to this point, and this result was definitely not what she wanted.

So she could only sigh, and then said a little sadly, "Mother, Sanlang, you misunderstood, I am here to visit all for the sake of the Xie family..."
