Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"What's the matter, Miss Gu? Are you unwilling?" Li Junhao's eyes were red and swollen, and his nose was also red, but his expression had returned to its usual cold look.

Gu Xunwei subconsciously wanted to say "no", but fortunately she stopped before she said it.

She looked up at Li Junhao, her expression somewhat embarrassed. How should she answer this question?

The point is, I just thought that Li Junhao was crying because he lost control of his emotions after knowing that his mother was murdered, but now he said he would take responsibility. What responsibility? How would he take responsibility?

Seeing her dilemma, Li Junhao felt relieved. Gu Xunwei should be able to guess what he was thinking.

"Miss Gu, if you are tired, please go back first. If I have something to do, I will ask Sang Mo to send you a message."

The answer that Gu Xunwei had prepared was stuck in her throat. Was she being ordered to leave?

"Yes, I will leave first then. Your Highness, please accept my condolences." After Gu Xunwei finished speaking, she leisurely left the reception room.

When I went out, I met Xiao Fuzi, Sang Mo, and the two maids I brought with me. They all had worried looks on their faces and looked at me silently.

"Let's go back home." Gu Xunwei said to Chenxiang and Baizhi, and then bowed to Xiao Fuzi and Sang Mo before returning to the Gu Mansion.

I came here to deliver peaches, but why did I feel like I was tricked? Moreover, ever since Li Junhao hugged me, my mind is still a mess.

But she never dared to imagine that His Highness would have any feelings for her. Besides, he would inherit the throne in the future, and there would be three thousand beauties in the harem. She didn't want to be locked up in there without freedom for the rest of her life.

I still have to think of a way to make my words clear while avoiding His Highness' misunderstanding.

Sang Mo poked Xiao Fuzi and said, "Looking at Madam Xie's expression, I feel a little shy."

Xiao Fuzi shook her head. "You are just guessing, I can't see it at all. Keep guessing. I have to go in and serve the master."

After he finished speaking, he flicked the whisk in his hand and walked into the living room.

Sang Mo quickly put away his playful smile and followed him in.

Li Junhao did not sit in his seat, but turned his back, as if he was looking at the landscape painting behind him. In fact, he did not want them to see his red and swollen eyes.

"Your Highness, do you want to go to the Dali Temple to check on the situation of wizard Shen Mingluo?" Seeing that His Highness said nothing, Sang Mo spoke first.

"I won't go over today. You go on my behalf. If you find out anything during the interrogation, come back and report to me. You all can go out now." After Li Junhao finished speaking, he lowered his head and turned the ring on his hand again.

The way I am now, I probably won’t be able to see anyone until evening. Alas, this is the price of losing control of my emotions.

Gu Xunwei returned to the Gu Mansion, but did not go directly to Xunxiangyuan. Instead, she went to Mingde Hall to see her mother.

Although her mother is still young and not obviously pregnant, her morning sickness is very obvious and she likes to eat sour foods, so when Gu Xunwei has nothing to do, she will ask Bai Zhi to go out and buy some candied fruits or hawthorn cakes to send to Su.

This time, she came with nothing and seemed a little absent-minded. Su immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Weier, what's wrong? Why do you look like that?"

After Su finished speaking, she glanced at Chenxiang and Baizhi who followed her. The two of them lowered their heads and dared not look at Su.

Su was helpless, so she turned her gaze to Gu Xunwei again.

Gu Xunwei was worried that telling her mother these things would affect her pregnancy, so she patted her arm gently and said,

"Mother is worrying too much. Wei'er is fine. How do you feel today?"

"How do you feel? It's still the same. Wei'er, don't worry about your mother. But you, don't look too happy." Although Su was diverted by Gu Xunwei, she returned to the original topic with just one sentence.

Gu Xunwei couldn't hide it anymore, so she could only say, "Just now, my daughter went to the Li Mansion next door to deliver peaches, and I heard that His Highness was investigating the murder of the Queen."

"What? Was the Queen murdered? I heard that mother died of illness at that time." Su was also shocked after hearing this.

Gu Xunwei had to recount to Su what she had just heard from Li Junhao, except that she did not mention what happened after that when she was carried away.

"Well, if that's the case, then we can probably find out something by finding the source of the drugs that Gu Qiongsi used on you."

Su didn't understand these things, but when she heard that the potion might be the same as the one that Gu Qiongsi used on Gu Ziyu, she immediately thought of these things.

"Well, the person who sold the drugs to Gu Qiongsi has been caught by Dali Temple Shaoqing Yan. They should have arranged an interrogation."

"In that case, Wei'er, don't worry too much. His Highness has so many capable people around him that they will definitely find out the truth quickly. Besides, it's useless for us to worry any more."

After hearing this, Su felt relieved, and Gu Xunwei also felt relieved.

That night, Madam Xiao really saw someone climbing over the wall into Xunxiang Courtyard. She ran to Su in a hurry, sent everyone away, and then told Su what happened.

Su was also very surprised at the time, but she quickly realized that Chief Sang must have something to say to Wei'er.

If Wei'er can be with Chief Sang after her divorce in the future, it would be a good marriage.

So Su kept this matter in her heart, and now she just thought that Gu Xunwei cared about the Crown Prince's matter because she was worried about Sang Mo.

How could she know that Gu Xunwei was not only worried about this, but was also worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might really want to take her into the harem and never let her out for the rest of her life.

But think about it, I haven't divorced yet, I am a married woman, no matter who the other party is, he should not be able to force me like this.

She now began to feel extremely fortunate that she did not divorce.

After Ding Xiang returned to the courtyard yesterday and handed her Gu Qiongsi's letter, she did not get a reply saying "rest for a few days", but instead received a ruthless word from Mrs. Du.

"Bitch, what do you think about all day? Are you asking me to pay for your abortion? I heard that if you take more customers within three months, you can get more money."

Dingxiang was very surprised that Mrs. Du, who used to be a wealthy lady, could be so mean.

"Madam, you can't treat me like this. I just want to rest for a few days. Please have mercy on me, or I really can't hold on any longer." When Dingxiang heard this, she knelt on the ground and begged, crying.
