Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Early the next morning, Xie Cheng'an dressed himself up carefully and put on the new clothes he had bought yesterday. Then he took Shuangrui to Gu Qiongsi's Yipinxiang.

The incense shop had not yet opened, but before the two of them could enter, the door of the incense shop opened from the inside and the shopkeeper Jinzi walked out.

"Young Master, you are here. Auntie has been waiting for you." He smiled and bowed to Xie Cheng'an.

Xie Cheng'an was also very polite to him. Seeing him say this, he did not stop and followed him to the second floor of Yipinxiang.

Yipinxiang has a large shop. In addition to a large hall downstairs, there are two fragrance tasting rooms, which are specially for bulk purchasing customers to try fragrances in the rooms when they come to make purchases.

It was originally planned to have three incense tasting rooms and a storeroom on the second floor, but since there are too few incense products at present, and they are all the most basic low-grade incense, two incense tasting rooms are enough.

Therefore, the three rooms on the second floor were used by Gu Qiongsi for his own personal use.

One room was used for making incense and storing spices, one was her resting place, and the third was used as a study, where she could occasionally copy down poems that suddenly came to her mind when she was in the mood.

They were brought into the study room that Gu Qiongsi had cleaned up.

Gu Qiongsi was sitting at the window of the clinic at this time, looking at the street outside the window with boredom.

Seeing Xie Chengan coming in, she retracted her gaze and turned back to Jin Zi and said, "Manager Jin, go arrange the carriage. We will be ready to go out soon."

Jinzi nodded and helped them close the door when he left.

"Sanlang, take a look at these poems. If you find anything you can learn from them, just keep them." Gu Qiongsi handed a few pages of paper on the table to Xie Cheng'an.

After Xie Chengan took it, he immediately couldn't wait to read it, "Si'er, these poems are really wonderful. Si'er's poems are indeed much better."

He hadn't even finished reading when words of praise came out of his mouth.

The first poem completely conquered him, just like when they first met, Gu Qiongsi also used a poem to make him fall in love with her without hesitation.

Gu Qiongsi smiled lightly, and then said, "Sanlang, you are too kind. Prince An needs you to go there. It may not only be about writing poems. If you really want to help him, you need to do more things."

"Well, I understand. Don't worry, Si'er. I know what I'm doing." Xie Cheng'an patted his chest and promised.

He did not forget to pick up the brush and copied down the poems written by Gu Qiongsi in his own handwriting. Then he let it dry and put it in his sleeve.

Gu Qiongsi sneered in her heart when she saw this. Probably only at times like this would Xie Chengan and his mother reveal such a condescending smile.

Unfortunately, I don’t need it anymore.

At this time, Dingxiang had also come over from the courtyard. Due to the fatigue at night and the lack of a good rest during the day, she was now visibly losing weight.

The eyes that used to be bright and lively now have lost their former luster.

"Since Dingxiang is here, let's go over there." Gu Qiongsi didn't even look at Dingxiang, he picked up the veil and was about to take a few people out.

Ding Xiang apologized to Gu Qiongsi with some difficulty at this time, "Aunt Gu, I was really too tired last night. Please allow me to rest for a while."

She was really tired last night. She received three people, one of whom had a special fetish. She couldn't stand it anymore. In the end, she cried and begged for mercy, and the other party let her go.

Xie Chengan felt a little sorry for her when he saw her like this. After all, she had been by his side for a while, so he said, "Then let her wait here. The three of us will go over there."

Gu Qiongsi glanced at Ding Xiang and saw a hint of blush on her collar, so she nodded in agreement and went out with Xie Chengan and Shuangrui.

Dingxiang knelt on the ground, with endless hatred surging in her chest, but she didn't have even a trace of extra strength in her body.

She crawled forward a few steps using her hands and feet, and then stood up from the ground with the help of a chair. She looked at the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk. After a long moment, she uttered a few words softly.

"Gu Qiongsi, I won't let you go."

Gu Qiongsi naturally didn't know that Ding Xiang's hatred for her had reached a peak. She was still sitting calmly in the rented carriage with Xie Cheng'an.

"You have collected enough money now. Otherwise, tell Dingxiang to stop doing that kind of business. If someone finds out, it will not be good for your shop." After thinking it over again and again, Xie Cheng'an proposed to Gu Qiongsi.

It’s not that he felt sorry for Dingxiang, but he really felt that it was okay to do such things occasionally as a response to emergencies, but doing such things for a long time was ultimately a disgrace to the civilized world.

Gu Qiongsi nodded, and she spoke in a calm tone,

"I have such a plan as well, but recently I need to develop a medium-grade incense product, so I'm afraid I'll need to invest in it for a while. If I stop doing business with Dingxiang, the daily expenses of Jianjiayuan may not be delivered in time."

Not only the expenses for Jianjiayuan, but also the expenses for Gu Qiongsi's parents and brother were cut off.

Because the parents understand all this, they don’t even consider whether it is good or not, they just think about how much they can earn tonight.

When Xie Cheng'an heard what Gu Qiongsi said, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade her. After all, it involved the spending of them mother and son. There were several people in Jianjia Courtyard now, and they could not do without cutting off the spending.

Especially now that Qian and Rui'er are both taking medicine, the money spent on the medicine every day is not a small amount.

"Okay, then go ahead. It's just a suggestion. It's okay to stop later when you have made progress." Xie Cheng'an immediately changed his tone.

A hint of mocking smile appeared on Gu Qiongsi's lips again, but she was wearing a veil, so Xie Chengan didn't notice it at all.

The carriage arrived at the side door of Prince An's Mansion, and the two men got off. Xie Cheng'an glanced casually and saw the two large seals pasted alternately on the main door of Prince An's Mansion.

Although he had known this for a long time, he still felt a little uneasy when he saw the seal today.

The butler had received Li Junze's instructions and was waiting at the side door in advance. When he saw them get off the carriage, he immediately came out to greet them.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhuangyuan and Mr. Qingzhu. His Highness is waiting for you two. Please follow me to the conference room to meet him." The butler greeted the two politely.
