Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"Wei'er, thank you." Li Junhao also said gratefully. He had too many dark thoughts in his heart and he really needed Gu Xunwei's words to remind himself that there was still a lot of warm sunshine in this world.

……

Hu Er had quickened his pace, but still found that he was being followed, with more than one person following him closely.

Even though he turned into a small alley just now, he still couldn't get rid of those people.

"It's terrible. It looks like today's situation is not good. This must have been arranged by that bitch Gu Qiongsi. It seems that I still underestimated the cruelty of that woman."

Hu Er complained in his heart, but still relied on his knowledge of the terrain and the surrounding alleys to keep circling around.

After about an hour, Hu Er let out a long breath and finally got rid of them.

It seems that I can't stay in this place for long, and I can't go back to the place where I originally settled. This is really a headache.

Prince An and Gu Qiongsi, who were supposed to be in the same camp with me, now want to kill me. Where else can I go?

Thinking of this, Hu Er's eyes lit up. Gu Qiongsi was getting together with Prince An, which meant she had betrayed Xie Chengan. So if he went to find Xie Chengan now, would he be able to get his protection?

In order not to expose his whereabouts, he stole a set of clothes from a family to change into to hide from others. He turned a big detour and returned to the yard where Xie Chengan currently lived.

When Xie Cheng'an saw Hu Er coming back, he knew something must have happened. He didn't dare let him stay at the door for long, so he pulled him into the yard.

"You, why are you here again?" Xie Cheng'an asked nervously.

"I have nowhere to stay now, so I thought I'd stay here for one night and leave tomorrow. I wonder if it's convenient for Xie Zhuangyuan to stay here?" Hu Er asked shamelessly.

"Well, you can see that my place is really not very convenient, and there is no extra place for you to stay. How about I give you some silver and let you stay in an inn outside for one night?" Xie Cheng'an said in embarrassment.

He was telling the truth. There was indeed no place for him to live in this small courtyard. Besides, he didn't want to have too much interaction with Hu Er at this time.

"Hey, Xie Zhuangyuan, I know you are naturally angry with Si'er for what she did. As her cousin, it is reasonable for you to be angry with me. However, you also know my situation. If we are accidentally discovered by others outside, I am afraid it will not be good for both of us."

Hu Er didn't force it, but just told him the current situation.

As expected, Xie Chengan looked a little hesitant. He glanced around and said, "Then you should stay here tonight. You must leave the capital tomorrow."

"Okay, got it." Hu Er agreed with a smile. He glanced at Xi Cui behind Xie Chengan twice before going into the house.

When Gu Qiongsi heard Jinzi coming to report that Hu Er had actually entered the courtyard where Xie Chengan was living now, this was really beyond his expectations.

"Okay, I understand. Tomorrow the owner of Yuxinglong Pawnshop will come to handle the transfer procedures for Yipinxiang. Please help with it."

After Gu Qiongsi finished speaking, he tiredly put down the pen in his hand and let Jinzi leave first.

After being busy for half a day today, Yipinxiang was finally sold. Yuxinglong Pawnshop was willing to pay five thousand taels of silver to buy Yipinxiang, which was the highest offer among several pawnshops.

Although it was still some distance from her ideal price, she didn't have much patience to negotiate the price with the shopkeepers at this time.

She felt relieved to be able to sell it at this price.

Adding the silver he earned from selling the spices he had and the silver he earned from selling first-grade incense, the total was almost more than ten thousand taels.

In addition, the money he earned from selling "Beauty's Smile" should be enough to pay the compensation.

Fortunately, most of the incense sold at Yipinxiang are low-grade, and the medium-grade incense is only sold for a few days. If it takes a long time, it will definitely not be enough.

Thinking of this, she felt sleepy again. Just when she was about to get up and rest, the gold came back again.

"Boss, there is... bad news. You see..." Jinzi hesitated and didn't dare to speak. Looking at Gu Qiongsi's pale face, he felt a little reluctant.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Gu Qiongsi knew that if it wasn't important, Jinzi wouldn't come in like this, so she let him speak directly.

At this time, even if something bad happened, she could accept it.

Is there anything that could be a bigger blow to her than the matter of Gu's fragrance recipe?

"Just now the official came to deliver a message that Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, Young Master Gu, and Aunt Dingxiang encountered bandits on the way to the place of exile and all died." Jinzi finished speaking in one breath, with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"All dead? All dead?" Gu Qiongsi asked twice in a low voice. When she saw Jin Zi nod, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes and almost fainted.

Fortunately, she grabbed the corner of the table in time and managed to support her body. She waved her hand and let Jinzi leave first.

When Gu Ziheng and his friends left the capital, Gu Qiongsi had already gone to Jinzhou and did not even see them for the last time.

Gu Qiongsi had actually thought about the things they would encounter on the road a long time ago, but with her ability, she was unable to change the outcome.

Why did she think of this? Because she knew that because of Dingxiang's syphilis, the children of several high-ranking officials in Beijing had also contracted the disease. Although they did not make it public due to family tradition, their hatred had to find a source.

When they were on their way to the place of exile, it was a perfect time for those people to take action.

My father and his friends must have saved a lot of money from running the brothel, especially after Yipinxiang no longer needed their money. My father did not choose to keep the money he earned from the business for himself before leaving the capital.

After all, he thought that she was just a daughter and couldn't help them much, so he kept her for his own use in the exile place.

She was not jealous of the money, but her father's attitude at the time made her very angry, so she did not remind them of it.

She didn't feel it at the time, but now when she heard Jin Zi's words, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.

After all, how could you not have any feelings for your family members who you have been with day and night for several years?

However, to Gu Qiongsi now, they are just emotional support and cannot help her at all. They may even be a burden to her.
