Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

However, her wishful thinking was too good after all. Before they could leave the capital after dark, the Jingzhao Prefecture had already sent officials to take away Gu Ziheng, Du Shi, and Gu Qionghua.

Of course, Dingxiang and Xiaoying were also taken away.

An hour had passed when Gu Qiongsi heard the news. Because she had been overworked today, she felt so groggy that she fell asleep on her desk at noon.

He slept for more than an hour and didn't even have lunch.

Seeing Gu Qiongsi's pale face, Jin Zi's eyes were full of worry, "Boss, how about you take a rest for a while before going over? I can see that you don't look very well."

"No need," Gu Qiongsi turned around and picked up the veil. When she was about to walk out, she felt dizzy and almost lost her balance. Jinzi supported her in time.

However, at this moment, this action between the two was seen clearly by Xie Cheng'an, who had just arrived in Beijing overnight and came to find Gu Qiongsi.

"Bitch, what are you doing?" Xie Cheng'an asked loudly and angrily.

Jinzi was so scared that he immediately loosened his arms. Gu Qiongsi's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he grabbed the door frame in time.

Gu Qiongsi raised her eyes and was about to explain, but she heard Xie Chengan scolding her again, "I worked so hard to go out and do things, and you treat me like this, you fickle woman, have you and your partner been together for a long time?"

He traveled for two days and two nights just to get back as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to see such a scene. Anyone would be angry.

"Sanlang misunderstood," Gu Qiongsi only had time to finish this half sentence of explanation before his eyes went dark and he fainted.

Jin Zi saw Gu Qiongsi fainted, but he didn't dare to reach out to help her. He could only say to Xie Cheng'an, "Xie Zhuangyuan, you misunderstood. It was the boss who almost fainted just now. I helped him up. I hope you can forgive me."

After hearing Jin Zi's words, Xie Cheng'an took two quick steps, picked up Gu Qiongsi from the ground, and placed her on the small couch where she was temporarily resting.

I haven't seen her for a few days and she has lost a lot of weight. I guess she hasn't been having a good life these days.

"What happened? Why is your boss's health like this?" Xie Cheng'an was a little puzzled. While feeding Gu Qiongsi water, he asked Jinzi.

On Jinzi's side, he arranged for the waiter to find a doctor, and then he came back.

Hearing Xie Chengan's question, he looked embarrassed and said, "I'd better wait until the boss wakes up and tell you in person."

How could he bring up the matter of the brothel?

As soon as Xie Cheng'an heard it, he knew that something must have happened, and it must be something bad, because he had seen the messy scene on the first floor of Yipinxiang before he went upstairs.

Could it be that someone came to Yipinxiang to cause trouble, which is why Gu Qiongsi was so furious?

Before the doctor was called over, Gu Qiongsi had already woken up slowly. She opened her eyes and saw Xie Chengan beside her. She blurted out, "Sanlang, how are my parents?"

When Xie Cheng'an heard her ask this, he thought that something might have happened to her parents, and he couldn't help but turn around to look at Jin Zi.

Jin Zi was so scared that he immediately bowed his hands and said to Gu Qiongsi, "My dear boss, I haven't gone out to ask yet. Why don't you take a rest first? I will go to Jingzhao Prefecture to ask and come back to report to you soon."

"Yeah, okay." Gu Qiongsi agreed weakly, and Jinzi hurried out the door.

Xie Chengan then asked, "Si'er, what happened? What happened to your parents? Why did you go to Jingzhao Prefecture?"

When Gu Qiongsi heard his question, her eyes were immediately filled with tears. "Dingxiang was found to have syphilis, and someone reported my parents. I heard that they were arrested and taken to Jingzhao Prefecture. I was just about to go over to check."

"What? Venereosis? How could this happen?" Xie Cheng'an was horrified. How could such a disgusting thing happen to Ding Xiang?

However, after a brief moment of shock, his emotions stabilized. If you stand by the river often, you will get your feet wet. Among those who do this kind of secret prostitution business, how many people can get away with it unscathed?

Even if you don't get this disease, your body will definitely be damaged due to the long-term use of those contraceptive drugs, and it will be difficult to live a peaceful life again.

Gu Qiongsi did not answer. She had no way to answer such a question. She just looked at Xie Chengan's eyebrows and continued, "It happened too suddenly. My parents only found out after others found out. So if this matter is investigated, it is at most a charge of mismanagement. Sanlang does not need to worry too much."

Seeing that Gu Qiongsi was so sick, yet still had the mind to comfort himself, Xie Cheng'an suddenly felt warm in his heart and held Gu Qiongsi's hand.

"Sanlang, how come you have only been in Jinzhou for a few days? Has the locust plague been resolved so quickly? Has His Royal Highness Prince An also returned?"

Only then did Gu Qiongsi realize something was wrong. Counting the days, they should have only been in Jinzhou for a few days and should not have returned so soon.

Apart from the time spent on the journey, we only stayed in Jinzhou for a few days. How could the disaster be resolved? Even if it was resolved, the subsequent disaster relief activities would be the focus.

"I, Your Highness Prince An, received a letter from Master Wang, asking Wen Jiaxiang to take Xi Gaoyuan over, and asking me to return to the capital to handle the affairs of Prince An's mansion with Xi Gaoyuan."

When Gu Qiongsi heard him say this, he felt something was wrong. It seemed that Master Wang did not agree with the fact that he and Xie Cheng'an were serving King An.

Now he even sent a special letter to replace Xie Chengan. He must have other plans behind this.

"When you come back, does His Highness have any arrangements?" Gu Qiong thought about that and wanted to know what His Highness Prince An thought about this matter.

"The disaster in Jinzhou seems to be more serious than we thought. His Highness is worried about those things. When I came back, he just arranged for me to go to the Bachelor's Mansion after returning to the capital and tell Bachelor Wang about the situation in Jinzhou."

Xie Cheng'an had no suspicion and did not know that Master Wang had already complained about him. He might even have told King An that he should not be employed. So he did not think there was anything wrong with this arrangement.

But after hearing this, Gu Qiongsi already had a bad guess in his mind. Perhaps His Royal Highness Prince An asked Xie Chengan to go to the Bachelor's Mansion to report the situation, which was also arranged by Bachelor Wang. He must have something else to say to Xie Chengan.

Perhaps, it was precisely because Xie Cheng'an was allowed to leave Prince An's Mansion that he was no longer needed to serve His Royal Highness Prince An.
