Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 207: Addictive Gift Giving

Just because Gu Xunwei had so many assets of the Gu family, the Su family didn't believe it at all and no one was willing to accept Gu Xunwei.

Gu Xunwei didn't want to discuss this issue with her mother, so she asked Bai Zhi, "Did they invite a doctor? What did they say?"

Bai Zhi nodded, "Yes, it's probably similar to what Madam said."

"Well, it's good that nothing serious happened." Gu Xunwei seemed relieved after saying this.

Su Shi didn't quite understand. "Wei Er, you two are already in this relationship now, why do you seem to care about them so much? Why is that..."

Not to mention that she didn't understand, even Chenxiang and Baizhi, who had always followed Gu Xunwei, found it difficult to understand this matter.

Especially, for someone like Xie Chengan, there is nothing to be nostalgic about, but the young lady just doesn't agree to divorce. Wouldn't it be better to draw a clear line with such a person?

After listening to this, Gu Xunwei smiled helplessly and explained, "I'm not concerned about them. I'm worried that if something happens to them now, won't we have to go and meet those people again? Then mother will be unhappy again."

After hearing this, Su finally felt relieved, but she saw Bai Zhi winking at her daughter, and only winking with one eye, which obviously meant something was wrong.

Gu Xunwei understood and after paying her respects to Su, she took the two of them back to Xunxiangyuan.

"Young Madam, um, His Highness has sent another gift." Bai Zhi said with a bitter face on the way back to the courtyard.

This was given to me by Chief Sang when I had just finished gathering information from outside and was about to report to Gu Xunwei.

Helplessly, she could only release him back to Xunxiangyuan first and then report to Gu Xunwei.

When Gu Xunwei heard Bai Zhi's words, she also frowned. What... was going on?

Ever since I returned the gift last time, His Highness had people send me gifts again. At that time, I had not realized the seriousness of the problem. I thought it would be bad to just accept the gift without saying anything, so I took great pains to find a few presentable things to return the gift.

Well, His Highness started sending several gifts one after another, scaring Gu Xunwei so much that she didn't dare to return the gifts. This situation didn't seem normal at all.

"Did Chief Sang say anything?" Gu Xunwei asked puzzledly.

"He, he didn't say anything else."

When Gu Xunwei returned to the room, she saw several boxes on the table.

You don't even have to open them. Just by looking at these boxes, you can tell that there are valuable items inside.

The last gift was a set of top-grade Jun kiln tea cups, a piece of golden Shu brocade, and a set of finely crafted silver tableware.

Including this time, she has received gifts three times without returning them, which is really unreasonable. However, she is afraid that if she returns gifts, the other party will send gifts more frequently, which would not be good.

She couldn't go on like this, she had to figure out what was going on.

"Bai Zhi, find a way to get Chief Sang to come over so I can ask him in person."

Sang Mo in the next courtyard seemed to have sensed something and asked Li Junhao cautiously, "Um, Your Highness, if Madam Xie asks, how should I answer?"

Li Junhao glared at him unhappily, "I have seen the account books of Wangyu Tower in the past few days, and the profits are quite good, so these are the rewards she deserves."

“Oh, okay, I understand.” Sang Mo nodded repeatedly. As expected, His Highness was the one who could find excuses so...that they were impossible to refuse.

"Your Highness, Lord Yan asked Lieutenant General Niu to come and find you. He said that the memorial has been written." Xiao Fuzi came in from outside the courtyard and reported.

Li Junhao seemed to be waiting for the news. He put down the book he was reading, straightened his clothes, turned around and was about to walk out, but then stopped.

He turned around and said, "Today, let Xiao Fuzi come with me."

The two men looked at each other, and Xiao Fuzi hurriedly followed Li Junhao out.

Sang Mo had no choice but to stay. His Highness's purpose was too clear. Wasn't he just asking him to wait for Bai Zhi to come find him?

Fortunately, after a while, Baizhi's head really popped out from the top of the wall.

Seeing him pacing back and forth in the yard, as if waiting for her, she didn't say much and climbed over the wall with ease.

"Chief Sang, my young mistress wants to see you."

"..."

Fortunately, he had foresight and asked His Highness in advance, otherwise it would be difficult for him to go and see Gu Xunwei.

Sure enough, after listening to Sang Mo's explanation, Gu Xunwei was immediately relieved. His Highness thought that Wangyu Tower was run well and was giving her a reward.

Then she could accept it with peace of mind, and she wouldn't have to return the gift.

"His Highness should own quite a few shops, right? Does he always reward the shopkeepers so generously?" Although Gu Xunwei accepted it with peace of mind, she still felt that the reward from His Highness was a bit too much.

Moreover, each of these pieces is worth a lot of money.

"Not much. The key is that His Highness doesn't manage anything directly. It's all Minister Si who helps him manage it. Only Wangyu Tower is directly managed by him." Sang Mo replied with a smile, reached out to take a rosy peach from the table, opened his mouth and took a bite.

"Well, so sweet." Sang Mo couldn't help but praise, but was met with a roll of the eyes from Bai Zhi.

"Of course it's sweet. Mr. Gu specially asked someone to bring it from Liuzhou. There are only two such peach trees in the whole of Liuzhou. The peaches they bear are big and sweet, and they are hairless." Chenxiang explained to him.

"Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder I think it tastes better than the peaches in the palace." Sang Mo praised with a smile.

Gu Xunwei asked Chenxiang to pack some more for him to take back, and then she looked at Sang Mo and asked with a little confusion, "Has His Highness been living here recently? Shouldn't he... live in the palace?"

Normally, she shouldn't have asked this question, but she couldn't resist her curiosity.

Sang Mo should have said nothing, but since he was with Gu Xunwei, he didn't have too many concerns, so he simply said, "Your Highness may be angry with the Emperor, who knows."

Oh, no wonder, the crown prince of a country does not live in the palace. This is an abnormal phenomenon in any country.

Gu Xunwei also breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that the Crown Prince lived next door to her these days, they had specifically instructed the maids and servants in their house not to make any loud noise at any time so as not to affect him.

Knowing that he wouldn't be able to stay here for too long and would probably return to the palace in a few days, Gu Xunwei no longer felt as stressed as before.

"Chief Sang, are you familiar with the Eleventh Prince?" Gu Xunwei asked casually.
