Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"Wei'er, you... you have completely hated your cousin, right? In fact, your cousin is also very regretful, but the mistake has been made. If Wei'er is unwilling to forgive your cousin, then your cousin can only die to atone for her sin..." Gu Qiongsi had already started to cry as she spoke.

She had thought that Gu Xunwei would hold a grudge against her, but she didn't expect that she would disregard their previous friendship and completely break off with her. She was a little surprised and could only apologize verbally.

Gu Xunwei sneered and didn't listen to her words at all. She looked at Nanny Li who was holding her hand and crying in pain behind her and said, "Mammy, I'm sorry, please take Aunt Gu away as soon as possible. My temple is small and can't accommodate this big Buddha."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the room. Baizhi and Chenxiang closed the gate without saying a word.

In the evening, Xie Cheng'an arrived at Gu Qiongsi's Acacia Courtyard as expected, and Mother Wu had already carried Xie Rui to the side room.

"I heard about what happened during the day. Are you okay?" Xie Cheng'an asked with concern.

Gu Qiongsi looked at Xie Chengan with a gentle gaze. Although she felt aggrieved, she still bit her lip and said, "It's all because of Si'er's incompetence that she failed to get the young lady to come forward. Please punish me, Sanlang."

Xie Cheng'an was deeply moved. This little woman was really his confidant and always kept him at the top of her heart.

If I hadn't taken into consideration that she was still in confinement, I might have stayed in her courtyard tonight.

He finally held her plump body in his arms as he did before, "What are you talking about, Si'er? Your husband loves you so much that he can't bear to punish you. Besides, today's incident was caused by the jealousy of that woman Gu Xunwei. What does it have to do with Si'er?"

"Sanlang, Si'er didn't expect that my cousin would become like this now. She is very different from her temperament when she was in the boudoir."

Gu Qiongsi also found it hard to accept it, but when he thought about what Gu Xunwei had encountered recently, some changes were probably acceptable.

"Well, I have a feeling too. She... seems to have a lot of resentment towards me and the Xie family." Xie Cheng'an didn't want to admit it, but he still had to face this fact.

Although Gu Qiongsi was unwilling, in order to show her magnanimity, she still said aggrievedly, "Sanlang, how about, how about... you treat her better."

"Be nicer to her? How do you want me to be nicer to her?" Xie Cheng'an couldn't help but frown, and was surprised that Gu Qiongsi could say such a thing.

"I... Si'er feels that if Sanlang could be nicer to her, she might regain her original feelings for you." Gu Qiongsi expressed her thoughts hesitantly. Afraid that Xie Cheng'an would misunderstand, she quickly checked his expression.

Xie Chengan curled his lips in displeasure and continued, "Si'er, you didn't say that before. You said you didn't want to share me with others. Have you forgotten that?"

It was precisely because of her words that he tried every possible way to fool his mother and refused to consummate his marriage with Gu Xunwei.

"I, Si'er, naturally haven't forgotten, but now seeing Sanlang in trouble, Si'er feels very uncomfortable, but she can't help..." Gu Qiongsi said halfway when Xie Cheng'an hugged her tightly and she didn't say the rest of the words.

"Si'er, you're worrying too much. Your current task is to take good care of our Rui'er. I'll figure out the rest." Xie Cheng'an said in a comforting manner, which made Gu Qiongsi feel much more at ease.

Gu Qiongsi stretched out his hand and put his arm around Xie Chengan's waist. "What does Hu Er say about Sanlang's official position?"

Her words made Xie Chengan's muscles stiffen. He didn't want to tell Gu Qiongsi about this at this time. After all, he also knew that women should rest well during the confinement period. But she still asked.

"Something did go wrong. I can't contact Hu Er now, and he hasn't contacted me for a long time." Xie Cheng'an finally decided to tell the truth.

"What? Why didn't Sanlang tell me earlier?" Gu Qiongsi broke free from Xie Cheng'an's arms and asked with her big wet eyes.

After asking, she felt that her tone was too blunt, so she quickly said, "I know Sanlang thinks it's not appropriate for me to intervene in this matter while I'm in confinement, but for such a big matter, Sanlang will definitely need a helper."

"Your Excellency must have known that Hu Er was in trouble, but you refused to let anyone else contact me. I can't figure out what you are thinking." Xie Cheng'an sighed helplessly. He no longer had the arrogance he showed in front of Gu Xunwei.

"Sanlang, you'd better find a wet nurse for Rui'er as soon as possible. I have a way to contact the noble lady." Gu Qiongsi frowned. She didn't expect that such a thing would happen while she was in confinement after giving birth.

"What can you do? I have done everything I could, but I haven't found anything. Even the person who framed us and caused our affair to be discovered has not been found yet. Sigh..."

These days, Xie Chengan has been really hit hard. As confident as he was before, he is as discouraged now.

I started to learn at the age of three, and then I studied hard for more than ten years. It won’t end like this, right?

"Don't worry, Sanlang. How much do you know about Hu Er's affairs?" Gu Qiongsi patted Xie Cheng'an's arm soothingly. She couldn't let him give up like this.

Xie Cheng'an is the support for his son and himself for a good life for the rest of their lives, so he naturally cannot let this go on.

"More than ten days ago, he was taken away while gambling at Ruyi Casino. After that, I couldn't find any trace of him no matter what."

"Gambling?" Gu Qiongsi had the same reaction as Xie Chengan when he first heard Hu Er gambling. Why would Hu Er go gambling? He was a noble man.

"This matter is full of weirdness. Sanlang, please don't panic. Give me two days. I should be able to find out something before the housewarming party." After saying this, Gu Qiongsi turned around and was about to turn back to the inner room.

"Si'er, your body..." Xie Cheng'an saw that her waist had not yet recovered and her lips were not as rosy as before. He finally couldn't bear to see her overworked.

"I'll come with you," he said.

"No, I'm in the capital now and not many people know about this, so it's much easier for me to do many things. If I stay with Sanlang, I can't guarantee that people will link me to the Xie Mansion, and then I won't be able to accomplish anything." Gu Qiongsi said quickly and turned into the inner room to change into clothes for going out.

Xie Cheng'an had mixed feelings, but it was better than the previous twenty days when he had been like a headless fly, bumping into walls everywhere. Now at least there was someone willing to stand by his side and advance and retreat with him.
