Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Xie Chengan to say anything else, she turned around and went back to the house. Bai Zhi also closed the courtyard door with a clang.

"Gu Xunwei, don't go too far, you you you..." Xie Cheng'an was extremely depressed, but he had no way to refute Gu Xunwei's words. If he denied letting Gu Xunwei take the money, the housewarming party would not be able to be held anyway.

Not to mention the furniture, even a decent banquet would cost a lot of money. But now their relationship is so tense, if he directly admits that he wants her to pay the money, I'm afraid she will not be willing to take it.

He kept saying "you" for a long time outside the courtyard gate but couldn't think of a better way, so he had to go to Rongdeyuan with a cold face.

Qian was holding Xie Rui and teasing him. When she saw Xie Chengan coming over, she said cheerfully, "Brother An, come and take a look. Ruier is looking more and more like you."

After she finished speaking, she turned around while holding Xie Rui. Only then did she see Xie Chengan's cold face, and the smile on his face also turned cold. "Why, you went to invite her in person, but she refused to show up?"

Xie Chengan nodded, "What should we do? Now several colleagues already know about it. If we don't do it, I'm afraid it won't work. But if we do it, what should we do?"

Xie Chengan was extremely distressed and had no desire to hug his son at all.

Gu Qiongsi felt uneasy when he saw Xie Cheng'an like this behind Qian. Gu Xunwei used to care about him a lot, but now she doesn't even give him face. Is this still the Gu Xunwei he knows?

"Sanlang, two days ago my mother sent me a silver note of three hundred taels. Take it and use it."

Gu Qiongsi was naturally not stupid. Her mother gave her five hundred taels, and she was willing to take out three hundred taels. Naturally, she wanted to win the favor of Xie Chengan and Qian with this three hundred taels of silver note.

When Xie Cheng'an looked up, he saw Gu Qiongsi with a gentle face behind Qian. He couldn't help but feel emotional. If he didn't need the support of Gu Xunwei's dowry, he would have married Gu Qiongsi as his wife long ago. Why would he have to endure the bullying of that merchant woman?

"Si'er, thank you so much." Thousands of words in Xie Cheng'an's heart turned into just one sentence.

Qian also walked over to sit beside her son, rocking Xie Rui in her arms while calculating, "Adding the more than 100 taels of silver left in the public account and An's salary, I still have more than 100 taels on hand, which adds up to more than 500 taels of silver. I think it should be enough."

She was the wife of a juren in the past, and had never held a housewarming party before, so naturally she had no idea how much money it would cost, so she just tried her best to prepare as much as possible.

He took out all the remaining one hundred taels in his hand.

Xie Chengan knew in his heart that it would be fine if they just held a banquet, but now they still had to buy some decent furniture, so they might not have much money.

"But, it would be unacceptable if the mistress of the house did not show up at the housewarming party. It would inevitably give people a chance to criticize her." Xie Cheng'an mentioned another concern.

"Don't worry about this, Sanlang. Si'er will go to see the young lady in a while. If the young lady agrees to come out, that's fine. If she doesn't agree, you can let Madam come out and say that the young lady is not feeling well and it is not appropriate for her to come out."

Gu Qiongsi again spoke up to help Xie Chengan solve the problem.

She was like this in the past, and she could often help Xie Cheng'an with advice and solve many difficult problems. In addition, she was trained by her mother to be the mistress of the house since she was a child, so some of her methods and ideas were also very suitable.

Xie Cheng'an looked at Gu Qiongsi again, smiled and nodded. His Si'er was indeed always standing behind him and helping him with all her might.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Si'er." After Xie Cheng'an said this, he went to the front yard without looking back.

Gu Qiongsi didn't delay any longer and followed Nanny Li to the gate of Gu Xunwei's Xunxiangyuan.

Nanny Li knocked on the door gently a few times, and Chenxiang slowly ran over to open the door.

"Hello, Auntie Li." Chenxiang bowed quickly.

"Chenxiang, is the young lady here?" Gu Qiongsi asked as she was about to walk into the courtyard, just like when Gu Xunwei was not married before, she did the same when she arrived at the courtyard of the Gu Mansion.

However, this time, Chen Xiang stopped her, "Aunt, I'm so sorry, the young lady just had a headache and went to bed."

"Oh, why do you have a headache? Is it serious? Have you seen a doctor? That's great. It would be good for me to go over and visit you." After saying this, Gu Qiongsi still looked concerned. She walked around Chenxiang and wanted to continue walking inside.

With a "plop" sound, a basin of dirty water was poured in front of Gu Qiongsi. As Gu Qiongsi was caught off guard, many water drops splashed on her dress.

"Aunt, I'm sorry. Some people can't tell good from bad. I really didn't hold the basin properly." Bai Zhi said sarcastically, and stood beside Chenxiang to block Gu Qiongsi from going any further.

"You...you are really outrageous. How dare a slave girl do this? Madam Li, slap them in the face." Gu Qiongsi was also a little anxious. She really didn't think that just two maids dared to embarrass her.

After hearing this, Nanny Li didn't think much about it. She came here with Aunt Gu today to represent the Madam to bring honor to Aunt Gu, so she took two steps towards Bai Zhi, raised her arm and was about to greet Bai Zhi's face.

However, Bai Zhi grabbed his arm halfway through the journey. With a push, he heard a "click" sound, followed by Nanny Li's howling like a pig being slaughtered.

I don't know if it was her arm, wrist, or fingers, but there must be a joint that was dislocated.

"You, you are so bold," Gu Qiongsi was so frightened when he saw Li Ma's look that his heart and liver were trembling. He lost his confidence when speaking, and his tone was trembling.

"Someone come quickly, take Madam Li back to Rongdeyuan." Gu Qiongsi said to the other two maids following behind her.

She glared at Bai Zhi again. She had never seen this maid before. She must have just come to Gu Xunwei's side in recent days. She didn't expect her to be so powerful.

"Aunt Gu, are you here to demonstrate against me?" Gu Xunwei was tired from making incense and had just taken a short rest when she heard the noise outside, so she came out of the house.

When Gu Qiongsi saw Gu Xunwei coming out, she immediately smiled, "Weier, you are such an outrageous maid. You even beat up the lady's people. What kind of rules are these?"

"Rules? There's no need to talk about rules in Aunt Gu's family. What kind of rules are these? My cousin went to my cousin's house to be a concubine? What kind of rules are these? Aunt Gu went to the mistress's yard to teach the servants a lesson..."

Gu Xunwei's tone at this moment was so cold that it seemed to be able to produce ice chips, and it directly froze Gu Qiongsi on the spot.
