Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Wang Zhuo took the other person's expression into consideration and continued, "Your Highness, please ask someone to ask Concubine Yu about her recent situation during the birthday banquet tomorrow."

"Don't worry, sir. When I went to the palace to meet the emperor today, I saw Concubine Yu in the imperial study. She came with me to meet the emperor." Li Xingxian felt a little relieved and said slowly.

"It's just that I didn't know that Concubine Yu was pregnant at the time, so I didn't ask much. But Concubine Yu looks good. I will make arrangements for the birthday banquet tomorrow, so don't worry, sir."

Li Xingxian did not say much about the emperor not wanting to see Wang Yuyan, as he was worried about Wang Zhuo's current health and would make him worry again.

Wang Zhuo nodded after hearing this, "Okay, I have a letter here, Your Highness, please help me bring it to her."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve. It didn't feel thick, but it should have two or three pages. It must have been written some time ago, and the edges and corners were worn out.

Li Xingxian took the letter and put it into his arms without even reading it. After chatting for a few more words, it was time for lunch.

The Bachelor's Mansion really put a lot of effort into preparing a very sumptuous lunch. The three of them enjoyed the meal very much, and Li Xingxian then said goodbye and left.

Wang Zhuo specifically asked Wang Yucheng to escort Li Xingxian out of the house. Only then did a long-lost smile appear on the corner of his mouth.

Li Xingxian's military power is the support that he and Li Junze need most at the moment.

Although Gu Qiongsi was very tired today, she was genuinely happy.

It was not only because of the surge in orders for Yipinxiang, but also because of my overtime work to make incense and deliver their orders on time, and also because of the good quality of the incense, which was recognized by most customers.

This made her more confident about future operations.

As the Emperor's birthday banquet was to be held tomorrow, there were suddenly many more businessmen and envoys from various countries in the capital. Jinzi reported to himself that even the envoys from the Western Regions came to Yipinxiang specifically to make purchases.

Gu Qiongsi sat alone in the study, his eyes fixed on the two most high-end fragrances in Gu's fragrance recipe.

Gu Ziyu has been running the incense shop for so many years, but he has never sold these high-quality incense. He doesn't know why. However, after being encouraged by this, Gu Qiongsi immediately gained confidence and decided to challenge the easiest one of them.

This is also the favorite fragrance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - the classic Spring Letter in the Snow.

This kind of incense is not difficult to make, and the craftsmanship used is not complicated. The reason why it is considered high-end is that its smell will emit subtle different scents according to the changes in human body temperature. It can be said that it has different smells for different people.

In addition, its raw materials. More than half of the spices used are difficult to find, especially one of them called "Spring Letter", which can only be harvested during the few days of the beginning of spring in a year. It can be said to be very rare.

However, as long as there is money, these are not a problem. She curled the corners of her mouth slightly. These big orders were completed, and she also received the balance from those customers. Now she is a person with several thousand taels of silver notes in her hands.

As usual, she took out ten taels of silver and had someone send it to Jianjiayuan for Qian's daily use.

The small courtyard at my parents' side is completely self-sufficient, and they live a pretty good life. They would be very happy if I didn't ask them for money.

So now she doesn't have to send them money anymore.

She wanted to lie on the couch and rest for a while, but unexpectedly, Jinzi knocked on the door at this moment.

Gu Qiongsi sighed helplessly, sat back on the chair, and then let Jinzi in.

"Boss, Jianjiayuan sent you a letter, saying that something happened at home and you need to go back."

Jinzi looked embarrassed. He knew that his boss must have been busy day and night in the past two days in order to deliver the goods on time, but he didn't dare not report it, for fear of delaying his boss's work.

"Didn't you say what it was?"

"No, it was the butler who came here in person, and he seemed a little anxious about the situation." Jinzi was the one who was best at observing people's words and expressions. By looking at the butler's expression, he could guess about 70% of the situation.

After hearing this, Gu Qiongsi had to pack up and take Dingxiang back to Jianjiayuan.

Before she got close, she had already noticed something unusual in the Jianjia Courtyard from afar.

There were already quite a few people gathered outside the courtyard gate, most of them were elderly women and maids with nothing to do, pointing and talking about the Jianjia Courtyard.

Gu Qiongsi couldn't help but quicken his pace, pushed through the crowd, and saw that Jianjia Courtyard was in chaos.

She walked in with a frown, and saw that Qian was so angry that she was about to fall off the bed. Beside her was Xie Chengyu who was covering her face. Confronting them were Xie Chengyu's husband and her husband's parents and family.

Xie Chengyu's mother-in-law had a pair of triangular eyes, and when she got angry, she looked even more mean.

"We don't care. Your daughter did such a shameful thing. Should we divorce her or support her?"

She pointed her finger at Xie Chengyu, wishing she could poke a few holes in her body to vent her anger.

"Mother-in-law, please spare me, considering that I have served you and my husband at home for so many years and raised a son and a daughter." Xie Chengyu knelt on the ground and begged her mother-in-law.

"Bah, you raised a son and a daughter for my family, who knows if the child is mine, who knows when you and that adulterer got together, and you still want us to help you raise the child, forget it."

Her mother-in-law was outspoken, and since they had already fallen out, she didn't care anymore and didn't care whether she was embarrassed or not.

His son pulled his mother's sleeve and said, "Mom, the children are all mine. I just want her to be cleansed and return the original betrothal gift. Then the matter will be settled."

Qian was also very angry that her daughter would do such a shameful thing. She glared at Xie Chengyu fiercely and then said to them,

"My dear relatives, this is Yu'er's fault. Please calm down. My family can't afford the betrothal gift. You have seen my family's current situation. If I could give it to them, I would not hesitate to do so."

"Don't come and cry poor in front of us. We are not relatives now, and we have heard that

Your number one scholar is now working for Prince An, and your concubine Gu has also opened an incense shop in the capital. Her business is booming now. How could she not come up with a mere three hundred and eighty taels of silver?"
