Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Gu Qiongsi also looked around his study and incense-making room, feeling even more upset.

Thinking back to when he got the "Gu's Incense Recipe", he was so ambitious. He believed that he would be able to do something big and achieve a transformation of his status with the help of this recipe. At the same time, he could also use the money to support Xie Cheng'an and help him succeed in his career.

However, he didn't expect that all this was Gu Xunwei's conspiracy. She had dug a big hole and was waiting for him to jump into it.

Gu Xunwei is really hateful, so I must become Prince An’s concubine. Only in this way can I suppress Gu Xunwei and avenge myself.

The reason why she was in a hurry to deal with the matters on Yipinxiang's side was that she wanted to resolve these matters before Prince An returned to Beijing, so that she would not have too many concerns when Prince An returned to Beijing.

At this time, a waiter from Yipinxiang came up and said, "Boss, Xie Zhuangyuan is downstairs. He heard that you are back and wants to see you."

Gu Qiongsi came back to her senses and realized that after Cao Xingwen returned to Beijing, he should have gone to talk to Xie Chengan immediately, so he came to her now, probably to discuss that matter.

"Just tell him that I am not convenient to see guests and ask him to come back in a few days." Gu Qiongsi chose not to meet him, because even if he did, he would just listen to his complaints and accusations.

It's meaningless and a waste of your time and energy.

The young man nodded and went downstairs to reply. Then he heard Xie Chengan shouting loudly, but it soon became quiet.

Xie Cheng'an was also afraid of losing face, not to mention that he was in Yipinxiang. As a scholar, he had the thinnest skin. Gu Qiongsi was not surprised at all.

As for him coming to find me, at most he just wanted Prince An to give him more silver. There was no way I would discuss this kind of thing with him again.

When we meet again in a few days, I will be the concubine of the high and mighty Prince An. How will Xie Chengan meet me?

While Gu Qiongsi was still dreaming in Yipinxiang about becoming Prince An's concubine, Xie Cheng'an had already returned dejectedly to the small courtyard they had just rented.

Qian was leaning against the door frame, staring at the courtyard gate with lifeless eyes. When she saw Xie Cheng'an coming in, she immediately perked up and stood up with the help of the crutches beside her.

"Ang'er, how is it? Have you seen Gu Qiongsi?"

Xie Cheng'an shook his head in surprise, not knowing how to tell his mother about this.

"Humph, I knew that bitch was restless. She must have been having an affair with His Royal Highness Prince An for a long time, but you are still stupid enough to treat her like a treasure."

Qian said hatefully, wishing she could catch Gu Qiongsi and tear him to pieces.

However, Xie Cheng'an did not think so. Gu Qiongsi must have gotten together with Prince An during this trip to Jinzhou, otherwise Prince An would never have allowed Gu Qiongsi to be his concubine.

When Cao Xingwen came to his own courtyard just now and talked about this matter, this was what he had in mind.

Cao Xingwen also mentioned that it was impossible to keep the matter between them secret any longer, so His Royal Highness Prince An was willing to pay a sum of money to help Gu Qiongsi draw a clear line between himself and him.

I also hope that he will try to minimize the impact of this incident because of their past experience together with Prince An.

After all, this matter is not a good thing for either Xie Chengan or Li Junze.

Xie Cheng'an went to Yipinxiang to find Gu Qiongsi just now. In fact, he just wanted to confirm it, but Gu Qiongsi's avoidance of him just explained the truth of the matter.

"Mother, let's not talk about this anymore. If Gu Qiongsi can really solve the problem of Yipinxiang and pay off all the debts, and His Royal Highness Prince An is willing to give us some money, then we can be considered to have completely separated from them. This is actually a good thing."

Although Xie Cheng'an comforted Qian in this way, he felt a sense of emptiness and discomfort in his heart.

After all, he had fallen in love with Gu Qiongsi, and she even gave birth to a child for him. How could he let go of this?

Xie Rui's voice rang out in the room. Nanny Li was coaxing him patiently, and from time to time, she could hear some "babbling" sounds.

Ding Xiang's words rang in her ears again. Gu Qiongsi could choose not to see her, but before leaving, she even refused to see Xie Rui. This was really hard to understand.

After all, if she really entered the palace as a concubine, she might never see Xie Rui again in her life. How could she be so cold-blooded and heartless that she could even be so cruel to her closest flesh and blood?

Qian didn't know what to say to comfort her son, but Xi Cui came out from behind her with a shy look on her face, and brought out some water for Xie Chengan to wipe his face.

Qian then remembered what she had just said to Xi Cui. If Gu Qiongsi really decided to leave, then she would ask Xie Chengan to take her into the room.

This is also the reason why Xi Cui is so shy now. She has been in the Xie family for some time, but Xie Chengan has never had any other thoughts about her.

Now, Gu Qiongsi, as his only aunt, actually chose to leave. No, she should have found a better place to go. Then, wouldn't this position be his?

When Cao Xingwen came over just now, she was also serving him carefully. When she heard him say that number, she was extremely shocked.

"One thousand taels" is an astronomical figure for Xi Cui, who has been used to a hard life since childhood. If Xie Cheng'an can get this money, their lives will definitely improve a lot.

At the very least, I will not continue to rent a small courtyard like this, and I will definitely buy a property of my own.

Thinking of this, she became even more diligent in serving Xie Cheng'an. Qian was very happy seeing this. Xi Cui's appearance was no worse than Gu Qiongsi's. If she could give birth to a child for her son in the future, their lives would become more and more promising.

Xie Cheng'an also felt the difference in Xi Cui, but he had no beautiful thoughts in his mind.

"Ang'er, we can't let others look down on us. Didn't Gu Qiongsi marry someone else? Humph, we don't want her either. Our Xi Cui is so much better than her. Mother is the boss. You can take her into your room today."

Qian's words made Xie Cheng'an stunned for a moment, and he even felt a little resistance in his heart. However, after thinking about his current situation, he could only nod and agree.

His two concubines, one, Dingxiang, was already on the way to exile and had contracted a leukorrhea. The other, Gu Qiongsi, had been taken away by Prince An.

Xie Cheng'an's reputation in the capital is now infamous, and those literati may be making up stories about him behind his back.
