Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

After all, compared with a painting like this, His Royal Highness Prince An's efforts in copying the scriptures seem too insignificant.

The key point is that when Prince Yan Li Xingxian asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at his birthday banquet where he got the painting from, he did not give an answer.

This created room for imagination for these people, and various versions of speculation or hearsay became popular for a while, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

It seems that if one wants Prince An to stand out in this matter and attract everyone's attention, one can only make a big fuss about the origin of this painting.

All kinds of fantastic ideas came to Gu Qiongsi's mind. She had her main thinking goal based on which approach would deal the greatest blow to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and benefit His Royal Highness Prince An the most.

Just when she was still calculating how long it would take for Prince An and his men to return and how to arrange their time, Jinzi made a rare appearance at Louwailou and invited her back to Yipinxiang.

It turned out that something happened in my parents' yard.

Jinzi didn't know what had happened specifically, but Gu Qiongsi's mother, Mrs. Du, came running over in panic early in the morning and asked Jinzi to find Gu Qiongsi as soon as possible.

However, when Gu Qiongsi really returned to Yipinxiang, she found that Mrs. Du was no longer there. The servant said that the lady had left a message for her, asking her to return to the courtyard as soon as possible.

Gu Qiongsi had no choice but to hurried back to the courtyard.

In the past, at this time, the door of the courtyard was always closed, and the people in the courtyard would rest until around noon before getting up, but now the door was ajar.

Gu Qiongsi pushed the door open and walked in. He saw that the yard was quiet, but the sound of Dingxiang crying could be heard faintly in the house.

What’s going on? What’s Dingxiang doing again?

Gu Qiongsi pushed the door and entered the house while worrying about Dingxiang in his heart.

However, the situation inside surprised her. In addition to Ding Xiang, even Mrs. Du, Gu Ziheng and Gu Qionghua were kneeling on the ground, and several burly servants were standing beside them, holding sticks in their hands.

Seeing Gu Qiongsi coming in, Mrs. Du quickly shouted, "Si'er, Si'er, please save us."

Her face was bruised and red, and her clothes and hair were disheveled, obviously having been beaten by those people.

At this time, the man sitting in the main seat also saw Gu Qiongsi coming in, and he stared at Gu Qiongsi's face carefully.

Gu Qiongsi met his gaze and was immediately shocked. This man turned out to be Xie Jinheng, a well-known playboy in the capital, the second son of the General of Cavalry's mansion.

His elder sister was Concubine Hui Xie Jintang.

"Isn't this Mr. Xie? What happened? Why are you fighting here?"

Gu Qiongsi asked in surprise. Under the other party's scrutiny, he was actually very scared.

"Well, this must be the aunt of Mr. Xie. She is well-informed and can even recognize me," Xie Jinheng said in a weak voice, obviously because he had been staying in brothels for a long time and his body had been severely drained.

"Master Xie, you are joking. Everyone in the capital knows that Master Xie is a dashing and handsome man. Seeing him today..."

Gu Qiongsi had a lot of compliments to say but was stopped by the other party.

"Shut up, it's useless for you to say this now. Did you own this brothel?"

Xie Jinheng interrupted Gu Qiongsi and asked without hesitation.

It was really difficult for Gu Qiongsi to answer this question. Normally, she would never admit these things, but given the situation today, she had no choice but to admit it.

"I am one of the shareholders. I wonder what they did wrong to anger Mr. Xie?" Gu Qiongsi was trying a little Tai Chi.

"What's the matter? You still have the nerve to ask, the prostitute in your restaurant is suffering from syphilis and you still let her receive customers, do you know the consequences of this matter?"

This time Xie Jinheng did not answer, but the servant beside him vented his anger on his behalf.

What? Venereology?

Gu Qiongsi opened his eyes wide in horror. Who was it? Ding Xiang? Or Xiao Ying?

Her eyes swept over the two of them one by one. Dingxiang was kneeling on the ground crying, while Yingzi was huddled behind the servants.

At this time, Mrs. Du saw Gu Qiongsi's eyes and realized that she didn't understand the whole story, so she said,

"Si'er, Mr. Xie came to our place for the first time last night. Ding Xiang received him. But Mr. Xie noticed something was wrong with Ding Xiang beforehand, and then he started to make a scene and beat up all of us.

But we really don’t know about Ding Xiang’s situation. We haven’t even hired a doctor, and we don’t know if she has that disease.”

Mrs. Du's words did not sound very confident. She was also worried that Dingxiang really had syphilis. If that was the case, her husband and son would be finished.

Gu Qiongsi took two quick steps and came in front of Dingxiang. He reached out to pull Dingxiang's arm. Not surprisingly, he found a red blister on her arm.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that she had similar blisters behind her ears and on her neck.

Judging from the situation, it shouldn't have happened in the past one or two days. How dare Dingxiang keep hiding this from them?

"Thank you, Master Xie. This is the first time we have discovered Ding Xiang's condition. I will ask a doctor to come and check her out. If it is true, I will definitely compensate Master Xie."

Gu Qiongsi also took a breath of cold air. Such blisters looked unusual no matter how you looked at them, but she was not sure and could only ask the doctor to confirm.

"Damn it, this is so unlucky. I was just looking for fun, but ended up running into something like this. Compensation? Am I short of money?"

Xie Jinheng said this angrily, but waved his hand and asked his servant to call a doctor.

The reason why he could still sit here calmly was because he was knowledgeable and had seen people with this disease before. Fortunately, he discovered it in time and stopped the disease before it happened.

In fact, he was basically certain in his heart, but in order to shut Gu Qiongsi up, he had no choice but to agree to see a doctor.

Gu Qiongsi's gaze now turned to Gu Ziheng and Gu Qionghua, and saw that both of them had pale faces, and they looked frightened to death.

In this society, the medical conditions are simply not sufficient to treat syphilis. If one really gets such a disease, it is basically a death sentence for them.

How could they not worry? After all, Dingxiang had to serve both of them at the same time in addition to receiving guests.

After a while, the servant came in from outside with a doctor with white hair and beard.
