Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

On the way to Xiangsiyuan, Gu Qiongsi became more cautious and went to Xunxiangyuan to see Gu Xunwei.

In her heart, she always felt that it couldn't be Gu Xunwei, because based on her understanding of Gu Xunwei, her cousin had always been a simple and generous person since she was a child, but now that she was not generous anymore, she didn't know if she was still simple and generous.

"Aunt Gu, please go back. The young mistress is not feeling well and has taken medicine and is resting." Chenxiang blocked Gu Qiongsi at the gate of the courtyard with a calm tone.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the courtyard, and Gu Qiongsi believed Chenxiang's words a little bit, "I just heard that the young lady had health problems, so I came to see her. I wonder if she is feeling better now?"

"Much better. Thank you for your concern, aunt." Chenxiang replied in a formal manner.

Gu Qiongsi glanced at the main entrance of Xunxiang Courtyard again, as if she was worried. "That's good. I'll come back when the young lady is better."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left Xunxiangyuan, and returned to Xiangsiyuan with Mrs. Du.

"Si'er, what are you thinking about? Do you think what happened today is related to Wei'er?" Although Mrs. Du had not spoken, she had sensed her daughter's thoughts. She was testing Gu Xunwei, and she couldn't wait to ask after returning to Xiangsiyuan.

The housewarming party was disrupted, causing Xie Cheng'an to lose face and his official reputation to be ruined. In Du's mind, Gu Xunwei would never do such a thing.

Isn't this equivalent to ruining the rest of your life?

Gu Qiongsi shook her head. She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. "Gu Xunwei's illness is also a little strange. It's just that she no longer confides in me, so I can't figure out what she is thinking."

"Si'er, you two grew up together, how could you not know her? She is just a simple-minded person. She must still be angry about what happened between you and An'er, but it will be fine after some time." Mrs. Du did not doubt him and comforted her daughter.

"I hope I am overthinking it," Gu Qiongsi pondered, his mind racing with thoughts, "Could it be that Sanlang has offended some noble in the officialdom, so that's why he is so against Sanlang?"

Mrs. Du did not say anything. Every official had his own ideas. Although businessmen also had many ideas, there was nothing they could do about it because their ideas were different.

She was just the daughter of a small businessman, so naturally she didn't understand these things.

"Mother, do you have any banknotes on you?" Gu Qiongsi stopped dwelling on this question and turned to ask Mrs. Du who was still silent.

"Didn't I just send you five hundred taels a few days ago? Has it been used up already?" Mrs. Du asked in surprise.

"Mother has also seen that my mother-in-law used up all her savings for today's housewarming party. The entire Xie family is now short of money, so my daughter also took out some money at that time." Gu Qiongsi explained nonchalantly.

"Well, our family's financial resources are not enough for you to go through so much trouble. What's more, your brother is in need of money right now, and your father is a troublesome person. I..." Mrs. Du had a lot of complaints to say, but Gu Qiongsi raised his hand to stop her.

She held her forehead and said helplessly, "Mother, I know all this. We are now tied to Sanlang. If he can get better, our family will definitely get better, including my brother. When he enters the officialdom in the future, it will be smoother if he has someone to help him."

Mrs. Du opened her mouth, a trace of bitterness spreading in her heart. She knew what her daughter said, but she had been frugal over the years and had only saved one thousand taels of money. She gave eight hundred taels to Gu Qiongsi at once, so she had no money left.

"I only have one hundred taels to give you. Take the flowers first. When mother has money in the future, she will ask someone to send it to you." Mrs. Du took out a folded silver note from her purse and handed it to her daughter.

Although Gu Qiongsi felt that it was too little, it was better than nothing after all. He asked Mrs. Du and Gu Rui to go out to play in the yard, while he racked his brains to think about those poems, to see which ones could reflect the current situation, and also to make Mr. Nanshan feel sympathy for Xie Cheng'an.

Finally, she chose a poem about her unfulfilled ambitions.

There is no end in sight for lofty ambitions, but there will always be a time to ride on the wind and waves.

Sailing in the sea of ​​books in search of ancient ideas, pointing the sword to the sky waiting for the sun to rise.

I can only say that it can barely express Xie Cheng'an's situation at the moment. As for whether Mr. Nanshan will buy it, that is hard to say.

She patiently copied the poem neatly onto rice paper, then followed Shuangrui out of Xie's house in a hurry.

Qian was so angry that she lay on the small couch and groaned, while her two daughters helped her wipe her breast and massage her back.

I spent so much money and prepared so many good things, but ended up with such a result. The key is that I worked so hard to prepare, but my son actually put all the blame on me.

That would have been fine, but he didn't even say anything to me and just dragged his concubine into the study.

How could she not be angry? "Shouldn't he explain to me what happened to the three hundred taels of silver from Ruyi Casino?"

"Mother, you know my brother's temper... It's all because of you and father." Xie Chengyu helped Qian massage the Hegu acupoint while talking, "Now that he has won the top prize, he has become even more lawless."

Xie Chengping winked at her, asking her to speak less, and seeing that she was still talking, she touched her leg with her knee.

Qian also felt that Xie Chengyu had gone too far. It was her own son, so she could complain, but it was not her turn as a married woman to make such a fuss. "Okay, I asked you to help me put out the fire, but I didn't ask you to add fuel to the fire."

"Yes, yes, my daughter has been talkative. She won't have many opportunities to be talkative in the future." Xie Chengyu apologized perfunctorily, but she was very unhappy in her heart. She came back to attend a banquet, and not only did she spend dozens of taels of silver for no reason, but she also made such a big fool of herself at the banquet. She couldn't hold her head up in front of her husband when she returned.

After hearing this, Qian became even more furious. "One by one, I raised you all to come back and tell you things. None of you are worry-free. Ouch..."

Qian was furious. She covered her chest and shouted, "Quick, call a doctor for me. My chest hurts so badly..."

As the eldest sister, Xie Chengyu said to Xie Chengping, "Sister, go get a doctor for mother. I have to go home quickly, or my mother-in-law will make me copy the female commandments."

Without waiting for their reaction, she walked out holding her son, saying to the maid beside her, "Go over there and see what hasn't been touched yet. Find a food box and pack some back. It's already like this, there's no point in keeping them for mother..."
