Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"Your Highness, are you going to send someone to follow her to Jinzhou?"

Gu Xunwei was a little confused. According to her guess, Gu Qiongsi had already reached such a situation and should not be able to cause any trouble. However, from what Li Junhao said, that was not the case.

"Well, if my calculations are correct, Prince An will be returning to the capital by the end of this month. Who knows what they will do when they arrive in Jinzhou. She doesn't have a single righteous thing in her mind."

Li Junhao expressed his opinion about Gu Qiongsi, "Li Junze himself is also a person with bad intentions. If the two of them get together, nothing good will happen."

After hearing this, Gu Xunwei understood that Li Junhao's guess was not unreasonable, so she suggested, "In that case, let's send Nighthawk over, and bring a few pigeons with us, so that if anything happens, we can grasp the situation in time."

The pigeons she raised at that time to send a message to her parents have been raised by Bai Zhi and have not only become fatter, but their number has also increased by several times. It is said that several eggs are still hatching.

This time we are traveling to Jinzhou, which is such a long distance, so it will definitely be necessary to pass messages back and forth.

"No need, Nighthawk, just stay here. I have people available. Don't worry, you can take a few pigeons away." Li Junhao stood up after he said this.

Gu Xunwei also stood up quickly. Just as she was about to see Li Junhao off, she heard him continue, "I have sorted out my assets these days, and it gives me a headache. How about I ask Sang Mo to bring the account book over, and you can help me take a look?"

"This..." Gu Xunwei hesitated.

In theory, as the shopkeeper of his shop, I must have this responsibility, but it is not appropriate to have all the property shown to me.

Because these things are what the future Crown Princess will have to worry about.

"What's the matter? Wei'er doesn't want to?" Li Junhao seemed to see Gu Xunwei's hesitation and asked with some surprise.

Gu Xunwei sighed inwardly, wondering if correcting him again would seem overstepping his bounds, so she simply pretended she hadn't heard the word "Weier" and replied, "I'm willing to do so, but I'm afraid it's against the rules."

The royal family has always been the place that adheres to rules the most. I have not been taught by the maids in the palace, so naturally I don’t understand the hundreds of rules, but this one is very clear to me.

As the manager of Wangyu Tower, it is her responsibility to manage the building well. However, she can occasionally help manage some other businesses. However, she must not be ambitious and want to manage all of His Highness' businesses.

First of all, there are people similar to housekeepers in the Eastern Palace who help His Highness with daily management. There is also His Highness’s maternal grandparents’ family. At the very least, there are the shopkeepers in various shops. I am really not suitable for this.

"When I was in the East Palace, I was restrained by those maids every day. Now that I'm in the Li Mansion, naturally I have the final say and there are not so many rules." Li Junhao didn't care much.

"Yes." Gu Xunwei had no choice but to nod and agree. She just wanted to take a temporary look at the account book, and it would be bad if she refused again.

But little did he know that the meaning of Li Junhao’s last sentence was not this, but about the word “Weier”.

Hearing Gu Xunwei agree, Li Junhao laughed, "I knew that Wei'er is still very good to me."

……

Early the next morning, Gu Qiongsi had already dragged his tired body, packed all his belongings with the help of Jinzi, and climbed onto the rented carriage.

In order to save money, they rented a horse carriage specially designed to pick up and drop off guests from long distances. However, there were so many people on it, men and women were crowded together, and it was summer, so there was not even a sunshade.

Gu Qiongsi had never ridden in such a carriage before. In the hot summer, sitting in such a carriage for a whole day was already extremely miserable.

At this pace, it would take them another three days to reach Jinzhou, which made them feel anxious just thinking about it.

Her health was not good to begin with, and she had suffered from heatstroke before coming here, so she still carried a few doses of medicine in her bag.

At night, there were about eleven people left in their coach, including the coachman, a total of twelve people, three women and nine men. They rested at an inn and continued their journey tomorrow.

The three women had no choice. In addition to paying for food, they also needed to rent a house.

As for the nine men, except for two who rented a house, the others spent the night in a carriage or on a haystack.

Gu Qiongsi was exhausted after the meal. Her legs were so weak that she couldn't go upstairs to rest. It was another woman who helped her upstairs.

"Thank you, thank you, sister." Gu Qiongsi thanked the woman embarrassedly.

"Hey, sister, you have to take care of yourself when you go out alone. You don't look well." The older sister looked at her with some concern and spoke with a strong Jinzhou accent.

"To be honest with you, I had a bit of heatstroke before coming here, so I look a little weak. But it's okay. I'll be fine after a night's rest." Gu Qiongsi was arranging the bedding while chatting with her elder sister.

The other woman looked difficult to get along with. She lay down on the bed early and slept with her back to them.

When the elder sister saw Gu Qiongsi open her bag, she found the medicines she brought with her. "Big sister, take a good rest. I will find someone to make the medicine for you."

Gu Qiongsi thanked her repeatedly. She really didn't want to move at all. But when she saw her elder sister taking the medicine out, she was in trouble again.

The beddings in the post station were really unusable. They rented a servant's room like this one. Those mattresses had probably been used by grooms, porters and the like. You could smell the strong odor of sweat as soon as you entered the room.

If she really covered herself with such a quilt, she would probably be suffocated to death.

Fortunately, the eldest sister came back soon. She said to Gu Qiongsi, "Sister, you have rarely traveled far. You look like you stay in the backyard. Don't use this quilt like this."

As she spoke, she folded the quilt and put it aside. Then she pulled out the mattress from under the mat and covered the mat again.

The mattress does smell better than the quilt.

Then, the waiter brought the boiled medicine to Gu Qiongsi. After she drank the medicine, she went to bed with her elder sister to rest.

Since the eldest sister was going to Jinzhou, people kept getting on and off their carriage during the past few days. Only four people, including the two of them, went directly from the capital to Jinzhou.

So in the next two days, the eldest sister was very enthusiastic in helping Gu Qiongsi and helped her solve many problems. She is really a kind-hearted person.
