Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

After hearing what Xie Chengyu said, Qian's heart ached even more, while Xie Chengping's face showed anxiety. She was worried that her sister would take all the good things away, and she would have to leave empty-handed.

"Mother, I...I have to go back too. My husband was already angry when he left just now. I don't know what will happen if I go back." As she said this, she was about to go out, but was stopped by Qian.

"Ping'er, mother is in real pain. Could you please help her find a doctor before you leave?" Qian said painfully, with a hint of pleading in her tone, which made Nanny Li, who was standing beside her, have tears in her eyes.

Unfortunately, Xie Chengping did not hesitate at all and ran out quickly. Her daughter was also dragged by her to the banquet area in the front yard. She had to snatch some things from Xie Chengyu, after all, she had spent a lot of money.

The two daughters understood very clearly that if their brother became the top scholar, their husband's family would also benefit from it. But now that things have turned out like this, they are afraid that they will not be able to benefit from it much in the future. It is really embarrassing for them to be involved.

At this time, there was no time to care about Qian's health. The most important thing was to stabilize her husband's family first, otherwise their future life would be difficult.

Qian sighed and watched the two of them disappear. Her face turned pale and her lips trembled, but she didn't say anything harsh. "Madame Li, go see if Xunxiangyuan can give you some money."

"Madam, don't you need to see a doctor first?" Nanny Li asked worriedly. She saw that Qian was very angry today.

"Why see a doctor? We don't have the money to see one. I'll just drink some hot water and I'll be fine. You should go quickly. An'er will definitely need money to take care of things after what happened." Qian waved her hand and asked Li Ma to leave.

If she wants to spend her daughter's money, she can still consider finding a doctor, but she should be more frugal with her own money.

At this time, Mr. Xie came out from the inner room. He was very angry about what happened today. A housewarming party had turned out like this.

He looked at Qian with cold eyes, and finally said, "Ang'er finally passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, but he ended up like this. You shouldn't have agreed to buy this house at that time."

Qian was already feeling uncomfortable, and when she heard Mr. Xie dumping the basin on her again, she asked, "Why, am I the only one who liked this house in the first place? Didn't you also nod your head?"

"So what if you nod? I don't have a housekeeper, so how do I know that the money in the mansion is not enough to support this expense?" Mr. Xie still had sufficient reasons to excuse himself.

"You two are really father and son, but when something goes wrong you both try to clear yourselves of all blame and make it all my fault..." Qian didn't finish her angry words, she couldn't catch her breath and started coughing.

Mr. Xie looked at her coughing and didn't think about how serious the matter was. He threw his sleeves in annoyance and left Rongde Hall, going to the front yard to deal with the aftermath.

Qian was left alone in the hall crying sadly. She was really heartbroken. None of the father and sons were caring. The two daughters also ran away. They might not dare to visit for a long time in the future. She had worked diligently for this family for so many years, but she didn't expect to end up in such a situation.

Fortunately, not long after, Nanny Li came back, holding a silver note of 100 taels tightly in her hand. She walked to Qian's side and said, "Madam, the young mistress said that this is the last silver note she can take out, and asked us to spend it sparingly."

Qian Shi didn't believe it at all. She just thought she was crying poor. "There are so many good things in Xunxiangyuan. If we just take out a few and sell them, it will be enough for the mansion to use for a long time. She just doesn't want to. Humph..."

Nanny Li couldn't refute her words, so she could only ask, "Madam, how about I ask a doctor to take a look at you first?"

Qian shook her head and asked Nanny Li to help her stand up from the couch. She sighed deeply and walked out with her hand. "No need. I know what's going on. Let's go to the front yard and see what's going on first."

"Yes, that's right." Nanny Li nodded and agreed. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she added, "When I came back just now, I heard that Aunt Gu had left the house again. I don't know what she was doing."

"What else can I do? It must be An'er who asked her to leave. I really don't know what ability she has to make An'er trust her so much." Qian was talking. Before she walked out of Rongde Hall, she saw Du and Mother Wu coming in from outside the yard. They must have come to say goodbye to Qian.

"Oh, sister, you don't look well. Are you okay?" As soon as Mrs. Du saw Mrs. Qian, she took two quick steps forward to support her.

"It's okay. I'm sorry for making a fool of myself today, but don't worry, An Ge'er is definitely not a gambling addict. What happened today must be some misunderstanding." Qian held Du's hand and excused Xie Cheng'an.

Logically, Qian didn't need to explain these things to the mother of a concubine, but she also knew that Xie Cheng'an needed to rely on Gu Qiongsi at this time, so she said a few more words.

"I understand. I understand everything. Si'er also believes in An'er. That's why she hurriedly took the silver and went out just now." Mrs. Du just came to say goodbye to Mrs. Qian according to the etiquette, said a few words of comfort, then got on their carriage and left the Xie Mansion with Gu Ziheng.

Gu Ziheng didn't say anything nice to Mrs. Du along the way. Although Mrs. Du was mentally prepared, she still felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak after hearing it.

"Is this the good son-in-law you spent so much effort to select? You have brought shame to the capital. When you go back, don't go out for the next few days." Gu Ziyu's words were like sharp swords, piercing his heart.

The key point is that Mrs. Du was speechless and could only explain with a smile, "Si'er said that there must be a misunderstanding. An'er is not that kind of person."

"How can you women understand? Even if he is not that kind of person, after what happened today, he has become that kind of person. Moreover, he must have offended some noble person who he shouldn't have offended in order to be in such a situation today. How can he have a good life in the future?"

Gu Ziheng's words made sense, and Mrs. Du also understood the matter in her heart, "Si'er said..."

"Si'er said, Si'er said, Gu Qiongsi is your daughter, why do you listen to her in everything? Don't you have a brain? She is short-sighted and you followed her crazy. Now it has become like this, and you still want to listen to her?" Du's words were interrupted by Gu Ziheng. She was speechless and lowered her head in grievance.

"I don't know if this incident will affect my son's studies. If so, you will regret it." Gu Ziheng sighed. Although he was not engaged in business, he knew a lot about the ways of the world. He had seen a lot of flattery and bullying in official circles. He hoped that the thing he was most worried about would not happen.
