Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Thinking of this, Gu Qiongsi finally discovered something was wrong.

Since there is no problem with my spices and production methods, it can only be a problem with Gu's fragrance recipe.

But what’s the problem with Gu’s incense recipe?

Is there any problem in the production process?

No, it won’t. If there was a problem, the smell at the beginning wouldn’t be so close to Gu’s fragrance.

She didn't think about it any further because she knew that after the commotion these people had just made, the problem with Yipinxiang might have been known to many people. Then, those who had bought incense from her before would definitely discover the problem with the incense.

She had nowhere else to go, so she had to arrange the subsequent handling and the gold, and then dragged her tired body back to Jianjiayuan.

At the gate of the courtyard, Gu Xunwei was bringing Chenxiang out of the courtyard and bumped into Gu Qiongsi who had just returned.

"What's this, Madam?" Gu Qiongsi looked suspiciously at Qian and Xie Cheng'an in the courtyard before asking.

Gu Xunwei did not hide it, but said, "I just discussed the divorce with my husband and mother. I believe they will give me an answer soon."

After she finished speaking, she passed by Chenxiang and Gu Qiongsi.

Gu Xunwei really had no other choice. Not only was she urged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but her father and mother also began to urge her. She really didn't want to make them worry about her anymore, so she had to take this step.

In fact, ever since they moved into Jianjiayuan, she had seen their fate very clearly. It can almost be said that she didn't do much about what happened later. It was all their greed that caused the current outcome.

Although I don't want to let them go in my heart, my mother is already pregnant and she cried for me again, so she is even more unwilling to be involved in their evil consequences. It can be regarded as accumulating blessings for me, so I will draw a clear line with them completely.

In this way, your mind can be more peaceful.

This was the decision she made after staying up all night last night.

Upon hearing her decision, Baizhi and Chenxiang were extremely happy, and were glad that Gu Xunwei had finally thought it through.

Gu Qiongsi ran into the Jianjia Courtyard in a panic and asked directly, "Sanlang, what is Gu Xunwei doing here?"

Xie Chengan hesitated, but still said, "She came here to discuss divorce with me and my mother."

"What are her conditions? How much silver is she prepared to give?" Gu Qiongsi asked anxiously.

Qian immediately stopped Xie Cheng'an from continuing with her eyes and continued, "Why, Aunt Gu, are you already thinking about how to spend the money before you even get it?"

When Xie Cheng'an came back, before he had time to tell Qian what happened in Yipinxiang in the morning, Gu Xunwei came, so she didn't know that Gu Qiongsi was already in a lot of foreign debts.

Gu Qiongsi was also considering whether to use the money to help himself and Yipinxiang.

Even if all the silver was returned, it would definitely not be enough. The most important thing is that even if it was all returned, it would be difficult for Yipinxiang to recover.

Now with so much foreign debt and so many eyes watching, the possibility of changing the storefront and reopening the business as I had considered before is no longer possible.

There is also the issue of incense products. If there is a problem with the quality and you cannot find the cause, forget about opening an incense shop in the future.

Thinking of this, Gu Qiongsi suddenly sat down on the chair deflated. He didn't know how to refute Qian's ridicule for a moment, and he lost all strength in his body.

Seeing her like this, Xie Chengan understood her difficulties and said to Qian, "Mother, please say less."

After saying that, he walked to Gu Qiongsi's side and asked, "What are you going to do? Or should we go to Prince An's Mansion to borrow some emergency supplies?"

Gu Qiongsi closed his eyes helplessly. All the bad things were coming at him, but there was no one around him to talk to.

How could he have been so attracted to a man like Xie Cheng'an in the first place? How could he have thought that a steward could have such great authority when Prince An was not around, with tens of thousands of taels of silver?

Even with these five hundred taels, it was almost the maximum amount the steward could give him.

Moreover, when he said this, it was obvious that he had not thought about using the conditions that Gu Xunwei had negotiated with them to support his own situation.

"Lord Wei gave me half a month. I've decided that it would be better to go to Jinzhou."

Gu Qiongsi seemed to have made a great decision before he said this to Xie Chengan.

"You, you want to go to Jinzhou?" Xie Cheng'an was shocked.

The first thought that flashed through his mind was that Gu Qiongsi was going to run away.

Lord Wei has given us half a month. If we can't find Gu Qiongsi by then, won't they all come looking for me?

But in a moment, he no longer thought so, because he thought that the shop still belonged to Wang An after all, and he also held 40% of the shares. If such a big thing happened, he would definitely have to go and explain it to him in person.

If I can’t pay back the compensation by then, I’ll definitely lose the shop.

"Then, let's agree to Gu Xunwei's conditions. After all, she has almost nothing to do with us now."

After Xie Cheng'an thought this through, he no longer worried about Gu Qiongsi's going to Jinzhou, but instead talked about the conditions that Gu Xunwei had just proposed to them.

"What is her condition?"

"The money I lent her before will be written off, and the money my mother paid for the house will also be returned to us."

"That's it? You're going to agree to it?" Gu Qiongsi said in astonishment.

"Six hundred taels is enough for us to use for a long time. Besides, if we don't get a divorce, we may starve to death in a while, and Gu Xunwei will never give us a single cent."

Xie Chengan quickly expressed his and his mother's thoughts.

With six hundred taels, they could even buy a small courtyard if possible, and no longer have to live in a place like Jianjiayuan and depend on others.

"Since Gu Xunwei took the initiative to bring it up, it must be that she has something that requires a divorce. She should be the one who is anxious. You don't have to reply to her so hastily."

After Gu Qiongsi finished speaking, she felt so exhausted that she didn't want to say any more to them. Xie Chengan was not stupid and he would definitely be able to figure out the ins and outs of this.

However, Xie Chengan did not see or notice her tiredness, and continued, "Gu Xunwei just said that she would only give us two days to consider. If we fail to do so, we will not even have 600 taels left."

Gu Qiongsi was too lazy to move, but she also understood that Xie Chengan wanted her to have another talk with Gu Xunwei.

But now I can’t even enter the door of Gu’s house, how can I talk?
