Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Qian glanced at Xie Chengyu and blamed her for being too talkative, but she was unable to get Gu Xunwei to take out the money.

"Yu'er, everything is almost ready for tomorrow's housewarming party. Go and send away those people delivering the fish." Qian pointed to the front yard and asked Nanny Li to take Xie Chengyu over there.

The expression on Xie Chengyu's face froze. She knew that her mother would definitely do this.

"Mother, I didn't bring much with me today. Why don't you let my second sister go over?" Xie Chengyu spoke quickly. It was not like she had never done such a thing before.

I originally thought that since my younger brother married a merchant girl, the family would no longer be as strapped for money as before, but who knew it would still be the case.

Xie Chengping opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Qian had already glared at Xie Chengyu and said, "Your sister has already paid for some of the food for me, where does she have the money left?"

"I... I don't bring much." Xie Chengyu had nothing else to say after hearing this. He only said this and pulled up the handkerchief in his hand.

"I know you guys are having a hard time, but your brother has won the first place in the imperial examination and has been promoted to an official position. Are you still afraid that you won't have a good life in the future? If your brother is doing well, how can you be worse off? Once this period of time passes in the mansion, things will get better and better."

Qian sighed, and then spoke earnestly. She looked at her two daughters, "Your husbands will certainly benefit from this, and so will your brothers and sisters. Which one of them won't be proud?"

When the two heard this, they immediately understood that their mother's words were full of ulterior motives. If they could not do something for the Xie family, their brother would not touch their husbands and children in the future in the officialdom.

Xie Chengyu wanted to say more, but Xie Chengping pulled his sleeve, so he reluctantly agreed and followed Nanny Li to the front yard.

"Ping'er, come here." Qian waited until Xie Chengyu left the house before she said to her second daughter, "Your sister's family is not as good as yours. She has two brothers, so she will have to live a tight life in the future. You can also go to the front yard and take a look. Help if you can. In the future, your son-in-law will need An Ge'er to take care of him."

Xie Chengping still didn't dare to say anything. Her husband did say that he wanted to have a good relationship with his brother, so she didn't dare to say much this time.

In the end, it was their two married daughters who took out a lot of money to help Qian support the housewarming party the next day.

After hearing what Bai Zhi said, Gu Xunwei's lips curled up slightly. These two daughters of Xie Cheng'an are not easy to deal with. They are able to be like this now, hoping to benefit from the top scholar in the future. This is not surprising.

"Aunt Gu has been in Nanshan Academy all day today. It is said that she disguised herself as a man and had a very pleasant chat with Mr. Nanshan." Bai Zhi went on to say that Zhu Da had been following Gu Qiongsi the whole time.

Mr. Nanshan? Nanshan Academy?

Gu Xunwei silently repeated it in her heart twice. Combining it with what happened in her previous life, Gu Xunwei still couldn't figure out what her cousin wanted to do.

In the previous life, it seems that there was no news that Gu Qiongsi had any contact with Mr. Nanshan.

If you can’t think of it, don’t think about it. It should be revealed in the next day or two.

She stopped dwelling on the topic and asked, "Are you ready for tomorrow's housewarming party?"

Baizhi and Chenxiang both nodded. Chenxiang also took out the ointment that would be used tomorrow and placed it on the table in front of them.

"Well, that's good. You should also rest early. There is a tough battle tomorrow." Gu Xunwei checked carefully again and then said.

Unfortunately, she thought too simply. Before they had time to turn off the lights, the two sisters came together to the gate of Xunxiang Courtyard and knocked on the door.

Gu Xunwei let out a long sigh. What was coming would eventually come. She asked Chenxiang to invite the people to the main hall.

"My two sisters are visiting you so late at night. Is there anything I can help you with?" Gu Xunwei asked directly.

Xie Chengyu's eyes were still wandering over the furnishings in the room, so Xie Chengping had no choice but to say, "Tomorrow's housewarming party, your sister-in-law should come with mother. It wouldn't make sense for mother to attend alone."

Yes, everyone came here for Xie Chengan, there is no reason for Xie Chengan’s wife not to show up. If this gets out, who knows what kind of rumors will spread.

Xie Chengyu came back to his senses and said quickly, "Yes, my mother is old after all. It is very tiring to organize such a big banquet. My sister-in-law should help more."

"Wei Er naturally understands what the two sisters said," Gu Xunwei looked embarrassed. She pointed to the white fox fur mattress covering her knees and sighed, "It's just that my body is really not doing well. I feel uncomfortable every other day. I am worried that I will pass on my illness to the guests, so I don't want to attend."

"I see that my sister-in-law looks pretty good now. She doesn't look sick. If things really don't work, we'll ask a doctor to come and take a look tomorrow morning." Xie Chengyu picked up a teacup on the table and played with it in her hands. The thick and textured purple clay made her fall in love with it.

"Since the eldest sister said so, then Wei'er should attend tomorrow to avoid people talking about us behind our backs." Gu Xunwei spoke reluctantly and gestured to Chenxiang to give each of them a bag of perfumed ointment, which contained small boxes of different sizes containing various scents of incense.

"This is the perfume sold in Wei'er's perfume shop. Please don't dislike it, sisters." Gu Xunwei said with a smile, and was ready to see the guests off.

Xie Chengyu looked at the pack of ointments, picked up one of them, and then continued, "Wei'er, I think your set of teacups is very nice. I wonder where you bought it?"

When Xie Chengping heard her elder sister say this, she also began to look around the room.

"This set of tea cups was used by Wei'er's mother and she thought they were good, so she asked someone to bring them from the South." Gu Xunwei naturally knew what the other party meant, but she did not respond to Xie Chengyu's words.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know that today mother forced your second sister and I to spend a lot of money to support the housewarming party, and she said she would return it to us in the future. How can we really ask mother to return it? Why don't you use this set of teacups as collateral? It's okay for my sister to suffer a little loss."

With a smile on his face, Xie Chengyu touched the teapot, which was heavy and made him even happier.

"What are you talking about, elder sister? Why did you ask my sister-in-law to pay off the money that mother owed? When you say this, please be careful. Wei'er has no intention of interfering in the matter between you and your daughter."

Gu Xunwei said this with a bad look on her face, and at the same time signaled Bai Zhi to see the guest off.
