Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"The news of her parents' brothel has just been exposed, and her Yipintang was said to have been smashed clean. I guess she came here to borrow money." Gu Xunwei said with a smile.

"She is so shameless that she actually dares to come to our house to borrow money." Su said unhappily.

When Gu Xunwei saw her mother was about to get angry, she immediately smiled and comforted her, "Mother, now that you have a younger brother, you should be calm, otherwise it is said that when your younger brother is born in the future, he will also be irritable."

"Where did you hear all this? Why hasn't mother heard of it before?"

Su was helpless. After she became pregnant this time, she spent almost all her time eating and sleeping. If it was true as Gu Xunwei said, the baby might also be able to eat and sleep after it was born.

"Weier saw it in a book about pregnancy. You'd better not go to see her. Let your daughter do it instead." Gu Xunwei winked at Nanny Xiao and asked her to take Su back to the inner room to rest first.

"Weier, you can't lend her money, understand? Ever since mother found out about what they did to you and your father, she no longer has any feelings for them."

Su held Madam Xiao's hand and walked two steps. Then she turned back and gave Gu Xunwei a few more instructions.

Seeing Gu Xunwei nod, she left with peace of mind.

When Gu Qiongsi entered the reception room of Mingde Hall, he was also surprised by the furnishings of the reception room.

The red sandalwood tables and chairs make the entire reception room look unusually elegant, and the subtle wood fragrance makes the entire reception room more grand and low-key luxurious than in Liuzhou.

This was the first time that Gu Qiongsi came here after leaving Xie Mansion, but she felt even more resentful in her heart.

I work so hard and try every possible way to make money, but I can't save any money at all, and I need money everywhere. But Gu Xunwei doesn't have to do anything every day, but she has endless money to spend.

How unfair this world is.

"Aunt Gu, how are you?" Gu Xunwei was sitting in the main seat. When she saw Gu Qiongsi coming in, she spoke coldly.

Gu Qiongsi quickly retracted his gaze and indignant mood, and forced a smile, "Young Madam may not know yet, Sanlang returned from Jinzhou yesterday."

"Oh, really? Aunt Gu came here just to talk about this?"

"No, no," Gu Qiongsi waved his hands quickly and looked around, but he didn't see Su. Only Gu Xunwei was here, so he could only make up his mind and said to Gu Xunwei, "I came here to borrow some money."

"Borrow money? The housekeeper just said that Aunt Gu has something important to say."

"Yes, yes. How about I use this very important matter to exchange for the young lady lending me some money?"

Gu Qiongsi was feeling anxious, so he spoke a little faster. Gu Xunwei noticed this carefully and couldn't help but find it funny.

"Then we have to see how much money Aunt Gu is talking about."

The tone of Gu Xunwei's voice made Gu Qiongsi seem to have returned to the days when they were still in the boudoir. At that time, Gu Xunwei could almost be described as obedient to her words, and she would agree to anything she proposed.

However, since when did the relationship between them completely change? The advantage he had in front of her no longer existed.

"Okay, I also heard that the young lady opened a charity in the western suburbs to take in refugees and orphans. It's a time when a lot of money is needed. In addition, my uncle and the young lady's incense shop have all closed down. I guess there is no place to get money now.

Yipintang was co-founded by me and a nobleman. He holds 40% of the shares. I am willing to give my 20% shares to the young lady. What do you think?"

Gu Qiongsi said this carefully and raised his eyes to observe Gu Xunwei's expression.

"Yipintang? What is the incense recipe that Aunt Gu uses? I have heard from several people that all the incense products in Aunt Gu's Yipintang are 80% to 90% similar to my Gu family's incense recipe. Is that true?"

Gu Xunwei was worried that she wouldn't say anything, but she didn't expect Gu Qiongsi to bring up the matter herself. It seemed that he was a little anxious.

"Yes, I accidentally got a recipe for incense, and the noble sent a shopkeeper who knows how to make incense. All the incense we developed are based on the incense sold in our Gu's incense shop before, so it's not surprising that there are some similarities."

"Auntie Gu, you should keep your shares for yourself. We," Gu Xunwei pointed to the furnishings around the living room, and then continued, "can live well even if we do nothing."

"But how much money can be kept if it only goes out without coming in? This won't last long." Gu Qiongsi tried to persuade her earnestly, but Gu Xunwei was unmoved.

Seeing this situation, she stopped insisting and talked about another matter, "Have you ever thought about divorcing Sanlang?"

This topic successfully attracted Gu Xunwei's attention. She had just been urged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday, and today Gu Qiongsi mentioned this matter. Should we say that Gu Qiongsi is thoughtful, or that she is sensitive and thoughtful?

"What does Aunt Gu mean by this?"

"Young Madam is living such a comfortable life now. In fact, the relationship between you two has long been in name only. Hasn't Young Madam ever thought about drawing a clear line between you and Sanlang and living your life peacefully?"

"If the young lady has this intention, I can ask Sanlang to give her a letter of divorce, so that you can break up peacefully."

Gu Qiongsi expressed her plan. If they divorced, she had not considered the matter of being promoted to the legitimate wife at all, but moving out of Jianjiayuan was definitely necessary.

At that time, Gu Xunwei would have to give back the several hundred taels of silver that Qian paid when purchasing the house.

In other words, it is a temporary solution. The Qian family can first find a small courtyard to rent and live in. When Yipinxiang's situation gets better, they can then find a nice house to buy.

However, Gu Xunwei almost laughed when she heard this. "It was Aunt Gu who brought Xie Cheng'an and I together. As for whether I should divorce him now, Aunt Gu, please don't worry about it. As for your parents, I heard that they will leave for exile in three days. You should pay more attention to them."

Gu Qiongsi's face turned blue and red. She was indeed trying to raise money and didn't even have time to visit her parents. What's more, she mentioned the scene in which she designed Xie Cheng'an to save Gu Xunwei.
