Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 296 Gu Qiongsi Returns to Beijing

Li Junze also nodded, and then said to Wen Jiaxiang, "Si'er is right, tell Lord Niu to go there in the afternoon."

"Yes, I'll pass the message on right away." Wen Jiaxiang agreed and left the study with Cao Xingwen.

At this time, Niu Penghai was leading several officials to inspect the disaster situation on a farm on the outskirts of the city. He had not expected that His Royal Highness Prince An would come to the field at noon, and he felt relieved after hearing Wen Jiaxiang's words.

"Okay, my Lords, we will get ready now. After His Highness has finished his nap in the afternoon, we will come with His Highness."

Niu Penghai spoke politely to the two of them, bowed, and then led everyone away from the area to a farther place.

"Hey, this Lord Niu is really careless. He offended His Royal Highness Prince An, but he acted as if nothing had happened."

Wen Jiaxiang looked at Niu Penghai's back with some confusion and muttered something.

Cao Xingwen also shook his head and didn't say many things. The two of them had a lot of changes in their state of mind when they came out this time.

"Let's go, let's go back, eh..." Wen Jiaxiang said, then turned around and prepared to go back.

Cao Xingwen said, "Look around here. The land has been eaten clean everywhere. We may need more disaster relief and reconstruction work. Why don't we stay here?"

"You are thinking too optimistically. His Highness only has a few of us available now. Do you think he will agree?"

Wen Jiaxiang knew what Cao Xingwen meant, but he immediately poured a bucket of cold water on him.

At this time, Li Junze never thought that the two of his men had other thoughts. The beauty was still in his arms. Before lunch, the two played another game of chess.

Gu Qiongsi was in low spirits and kept yawning with her hands covering her mouth. Her chess skills were not very good to begin with and she soon showed signs of defeat.

"Your Highness, I see that the disaster here has been basically brought under control. When will we return to Beijing?"

She asked casually, but in her heart she was still thinking about the half-month period that Lord Wei had given her.

Those guests are still waiting for me to return to Beijing so that I can compensate them for their losses.

"Well, it's about time to go back. According to the usual practice, we will inspect for three days. If everyone resumes planting and production, then it will be almost done."

Li Junze placed the chess piece on the board without much thought, and answered Gu Qiongsi's question without any thought.

Obviously, this is not the first time that Jinzhou has provided disaster relief.

Gu Qiongsi made a quick calculation and found that today was the second day, which meant that he could prepare to return to Beijing tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

In this case, the matter of Yipinxiang can still be handled in time. Even if it is delayed for a day or two, I believe Lord Wei will definitely give His Royal Highness Prince An this face.

Meanwhile, the "Beauty Smile" she brought with her has been basically used up. If she stops using it for His Royal Highness Prince An, she wonders if he will be angry.

Because, according to the information her brother had told her, if a man who is used to using "Beauty Smile" suddenly stops using it, he will be out of shape for a period of time, that is, impotence.

This is also the fundamental reason why many customers became dependent on "Meirenxiao" after he tried it with them in his courtyard.

"If that's the case, Your Highness must have a lot of things to do in the next two days. I might as well go back to Beijing two days earlier to deal with the matter of Yipinxiang in advance. I will come to Prince An's Mansion to find you after Your Highness returns to Beijing."

Gu Qiongsi picked up the handkerchief again, wiped the tears that unconsciously flowed from the corners of her eyes, and then spoke sensibly.

Li Junze didn't want to let Gu Qiongsi go, but considering that she was a little fragile and had been so tired from his efforts in the past few days, he nodded and said,

"Okay, I will arrange two people to protect you and take you back to Beijing. I will also have someone send you the title deed of Yipinxiang."

This was considered as his agreement. Gu Qiongsi was very happy to hear this. Not only did it make Prince An obey her, but it also changed her identity. From then on, she would live a life without worries about food and clothing.

So she showed a hint of coquettishness and said in a soft tone, "Well, I would like to thank Your Highness. Your Highness will be waiting for you in the capital."

After saying that, she did not forget to glance at Li Junze's position with a shy look on her face.

When Li Junze saw it, he immediately burst into laughter. Thinking about how he felt when he was with her in the past two days, it was truly a wonderful and heavenly life.

Instead, I have no interest in anything else.

"But Your Highness, what are your plans for Xie Cheng'an? If I return to the capital, I will definitely have to face him."

Gu Qiongsi then asked Li Junze about his arrangements for her. How he treated Xie Chengan also indicated how he would arrange himself.

Li Junze naturally understood this, so he scratched her nose with his hand and said lovingly,

"Don't worry, Si'er. I will arrange for Cao Xingwen to go back with you this time. I will definitely take care of this matter and will not let Xie Cheng'an cause trouble for you again."

What he meant was that all matters concerning Xie Chengan should be resolved by Cao Xingwen.

"But Si'er, what are you going to do with your and Xie Cheng'an's son?"

Li Junze had obviously thought about this kind of thing, so he even took Xie Rui's matter into consideration.

"Rui'er is Xie Cheng'an's eldest son. He will definitely not give up on me. I am willing to give up Rui'er for Your Highness. Please don't let me down."

Gu Qiongsi hesitated, seemingly full of reluctance, but finally chose to be with Li Junze and gave up her son.

Li Junze reached out and grasped the other's slightly cold hand, "Don't worry Si'er, I will definitely treat you well."

Gu Qiongsi has always been a man who does what he says. That afternoon, when Li Junze was preparing to inspect the fields, Gu Qiongsi had also packed his things.

After bidding farewell to Li Junze and others, he left Jinzhou with Cao Xingwen and a guard.

Before leaving, Li Junze gave Gu Qiongsi a few banknotes for them to spend on the journey.

In order not to attract attention, the carriage was not big. Cao Xingwen and the guards sat outside the carriage with the coachman. Only Gu Qiongsi sat alone in the carriage.

She looked at the few banknotes that Li Junze stuffed into her hand, and there were less than one thousand taels in total. He was really generous.

Due to the fatigue of the past few days and severe lack of sleep at night, she fell into a deep sleep not long after getting on the car.

However, there were several pairs of eyes behind the carriage staring at it viciously. Their mission was to kill Gu Qiongsi and never let this woman return to the capital again.
