Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

There was no need for Sun Xingzhi's letter to be delivered, as Li Junze had already received the news sent by the steward of Prince An's Mansion.

He was so angry that he almost rode his horse to Beijing overnight.

Fortunately, Wen Jiaxiang stopped him in time, "Your Highness, the incident has already happened, and it has been transferred to the Dali Temple. It will be useless for us to go back now."

Li Junze was so anxious that he punched the tree beside him, and felt a sharp pain in his hand. "Si'er, why did she come out? Things have turned out like this. Even if I return to the capital, I can't take her back to the palace."

He felt a pity. He and Gu Qiongsi had finally been able to be together, but now this had happened. Even if he wanted to, his grandfather would definitely not agree.

When Wen Jiaxiang heard him say this, he didn't know how to persuade him for a moment. When the prince heard about this, his first reaction was that he could not take Gu Qiongsi as a concubine. He didn't realize at all how much impact this incident would have on him.

He quickly adjusted his thoughts and continued, "Your Highness, if you and Aunt Gu are really in love, Aunt Gu should be willing even if you become a concubine."

"Mistress?" Li Junze asked back. If he just asked her to be a mistress, he would be too unfair to Si'er.

At this moment, a guard came to report that Master Wang had sent someone to deliver a message again, and this time the person who came was Sun Xingzhi, the top scholar in the imperial examination.

Without thinking, Li Junze understood that his grandfather must have heard about that incident, so he informed him before he returned to Beijing.

Although he sometimes disliked his grandfather's letters, he had to look forward to this letter at this moment.

When he opened the letter, before Sun Xingzhi even had time to greet him, the envelope in his hand was taken away by Li Junze.

"Your Highness, Scholar Wang has instructed me to tell you that no matter what, you must not admit what happened between you and Gu Qiongsi. He will help you with the follow-up matters."

While Li Junze was reading the letter, Sun Xingzhi repeated to Li Junze what Wang Zhuo had told him.

However, in the letter, Wang Zhuo said how he planned to deal with the subsequent matters, which was to kill Gu Qiongsi to silence her and then throw all the dirty water on her.

He said that she had bewitched him and used despicable means on him, so he had no choice but to let Cao Xingwen send her back to the capital.

Li Junze was still not relieved after reading it, because his grandfather still didn't know why Gu Qiongsi insisted on assassinating Hu Er.

If I were in the capital at that time, I would certainly take action to eliminate Hu Er to prevent future troubles.

Therefore, now it is not only a matter of rejecting the relationship with Gu Qiongsi, the more important thing is to find a way to get rid of Hu Er.

However, he could not tell the reason for killing Hu Er, and besides, Hu Er was now in Yan Nangui's hands.

If he were to think about it, the person he wanted to get rid of the most was actually Yan Nangui, and the mysterious master of illusion who stayed in the Dali Temple.

Thinking of this, he calmly read the letter, folded the letter paper and put it in the envelope, then looked up at Sun Xingzhi.

"I know what you said. Go back first and say hello to my grandfather for me." Li Junze did not object to his grandfather's arrangement. He was already planning in his mind how to resolve the current crisis.

"Your Highness, did the scholar's letter mention that he wanted me to help Your Highness with something?" Sun Xingzhi saw that Li Junze wanted to drive him away, so he spoke up to remind Li Junze.

"Well, I have seen it. You go back first. When we return to the capital later, you can come to Prince An's Mansion to see me." Li Junze waved at him, not taking him seriously at all, and had no intention of discussing the matter with him in detail.

When Sun Xingzhi heard him say this, he lowered his eyes, bowed and said goodbye.

"Wen Jiaxiang, don't you know some friends in the underworld? Please contact them for me. I want them to help me do something."

After Sun Xingzhi left, Li Junze turned to look at Wen Jiaxiang who was standing beside him.

"Yes, I will contact them right away. What does Your Highness plan to do?"

"Hmph, help me kill that illusion master and Yan Nangui from the Dali Temple first. Give me any silver you want and we'll do it today." Li Junze said in a sinister tone. He no longer cared about anything.

If I don't take action today, my grandfather might find a way to do it. By then, Si'er will be in danger.

"Ah? This..." Wen Jiaxiang was a little embarrassed. "People in the underworld are most afraid of getting involved in the officialdom. I'm afraid they won't do it."

No matter how powerful a martial arts organization is, it is impossible to really compete with the imperial court. This has always been the code of conduct that people in the martial arts world have upheld.

"Just go and let them name their price. I heard they have two or three experts in charge, which is more than enough to deal with Yan Nangui."

Li Junze didn't think they would refuse. Even if they did, it would be because the money they gave was not enough.

After hearing this, Wen Jiaxiang reluctantly agreed and rode away quickly on horseback from the inn where they were staying tonight.

Li Junze opened the letter again and took another look at its contents. His grandfather was planning to take action against Gu Qiongsi, so he had to make some arrangements for this matter.

Gu Qiongsi cannot die. Even if he cannot take her into the mansion, he will not let her be killed by his grandfather.

However, my grandfather's letter completely described Gu Qiongsi as a fickle woman who not only had an affair with Xie Cheng'an without a marriage accomplice, but also had an affair with Hu Er. The child was her and Hu Er's son.

It was equivalent to putting a big green hat on Xie Cheng'an and asking Xie Cheng'an to help them take care of the child.

It was also said that the brothel run by Gu Qiongsi's parents offended all the high-ranking nobles in the capital because Dingxiang had syphilis. Even though it was run by her parents, there was no guarantee that Gu Qiongsi was not involved.

If he really gets involved with such a woman, he will inevitably be rejected by those high-ranking nobles. More importantly, it will have a great impact on Li Junze's reputation.

These things happened after Li Junze left the capital, and some of them were hearsay from his grandfather, so Li Junze didn't believe that Gu Qiongsi would be such a person.

I don't believe she would do such a thing.

In his impression, Gu Qiongsi was a person with quick thinking and decisive actions. The key point was that she was so shy and delicate in front of him, so how could she do such a thing.

Someone must have done something behind the scenes to ruin her reputation.

Thinking of this, he remembered Gu Xunwei, whom Gu Qiongsi had once mentioned to him.

Yes, Gu Xunwei, this matter must be related to Gu Xunwei. Even my grandfather was confused by the news.
