Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 42 Repeating the same trick

The key point is that their contacts were all private, and they couldn't find out the reasons. So Li Junhao asked Sang Mo to pretend to be an official and arrest Hu Er on the grounds of gambling debts, trying to find a breakthrough from Hu Er.

However, they tried everything but still got nothing. What was even more surprising was that Hu Er, who refused to reveal any information no matter what.

In desperation, they could only change their strategy and pretend to release the other party and send people to secretly watch Hu Er. Therefore, Gu Xunwei's rescue of Hu Er and Hu Er's escape were all part of Li Junhao's plan.

Even when Hu Er left the city, someone secretly helped him a lot.

"Prince An, have I ever offended you?"

When Gu Xunwei heard the Crown Prince's question, she didn't know how to answer for a moment. After a brief silence, Gu Xunwei could only repeat her old trick, "Your Highness, I once had a very strange dream. Many things that happened in the dream were verified, and it was even able to predict my fate in the next few years, so..."

"So, the things you described in the two letters you wrote to me were all things that happened in your dreams?" Li Junhao interrupted her with a self-deprecating smile on his face.

Fortunately, I took what she said so seriously, but it turned out to be her dream.

"Your Highness, everything in my heart is possible. If I have not verified it, I would never dare to write to Your Highness." Gu Xunwei was a little anxious. She knew that the other party must have begun to stop believing those things.

It is indeed a bit joking to say this myself.

"Since you once saved Sang Mo, I'll give you a chance to prove their authenticity." Li Junhao's cold voice sounded. Although he didn't believe it, he didn't mind giving her a chance.

"My ability to save Chief Sang was a prophecy in my dream, the time and place were exactly right."

Silence. The room fell into silence again. Li Junhao rubbed the ring on his thumb and looked at Gu Xunwei opposite him with calm eyes, but his heart was not so calm.

He did not speak, waiting for Gu Xunwei to continue. She did not disappoint him and continued, "It will start to rain around 5 p.m. on April 1st. It will be a light rain at first, but it will get heavier and heavier. It will rain for ten consecutive days. The river bank in Xiangyang City will burst at 5 p.m. on the night of April 9th. The three villages downstream will all be flooded, causing countless casualties."

What she said contained many more details than what was written in the letter. Seeing that His Royal Highness still did not move and was still turning the ring on his finger, she had to continue, "After this incident, the Emperor was furious. In addition to assigning Xiangyang City to Prince An's jurisdiction, he also reprimanded His Royal Highness in front of all the ministers during the morning court session and punished him to face the wall in the East Palace for more than a month. I don't know anything else."

She was actually feeling guilty. Since her rebirth, many things had actually changed. She couldn't guarantee that the things that happened in her previous life would definitely happen again, but since hundreds of lives were involved, she still wanted to do her best to save one or two.

Li Junhao listened to Gu Xunwei's words and finally moved. He picked up the teacup in front of him, but found that it was cold, so he put it down again. "And then?"

"And then?" Gu Xunwei repeated it and soon understood what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant was what happened after this incident.

"I am just a woman in the harem, and I have mostly heard about what is happening in the court from hearsay. However, the situation in the court has changed a lot since then. Your Highness and Prince An have been fighting each other for a long time, and the court officials were a little hesitant for a while.

In order to win over more court officials, Prince An urgently needed a large amount of money, so he asked Xie Cheng'an to persuade the woman's father to support Prince An, but the father did not agree. In the end, Prince An and Xie Cheng'an jointly framed him for treason, and his entire family was beheaded..."

The more Gu Xunwei spoke, the lower her voice became. She didn't dare to say much about what happened in the court, but she knew more about what happened in the Gu Mansion. It was just that when she thought about her parents being framed to death in her previous life, she couldn't help feeling sad.

Li Junhao sighed. This time he finally understood why Gu Xunwei had been targeting Prince An. It turned out that Prince An had harmed her entire family in his dream.

"Okay, you can go back." He poured out the tea in the teacup, refilled it with hot tea, and spoke in the same calm tone.

Gu Xunwei hesitated for a moment, but still answered, "Yes."

After saying that, she immediately stood up, bowed to Li Junhao, and then turned and left.

After all, she felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not completely believe what she said, so she did not say any more about some things. If it really rained on the first day of April this time, and it lasted for ten days, he would definitely believe it more, and it would not be too late to talk about it then.

After two meetings with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Gu Xunwei became increasingly unable to fathom his thoughts. He hid his true emotions too deeply, and it was unknown how much he had gone through to be able to do this.

Sang Mo took Gu Xunwei to the Xie Mansion again. On the way, he asked with a smile, "Madam Xie, you are really amazing. You delivered two letters to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and as a result, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to see you in a hurry. Could there be a curse in the letter?"

Gu Xunwei smiled lightly, but before she could reply, Bai Zhi who was following beside her spoke first, "What Chief Sang said, if my young mistress could really cast a curse, would she still be confined to the backyard of Xie's mansion every day?"

"Bai Zhi, please don't be rude. How can you talk to Chief Sang like that?" Gu Xunwei felt that Bai Zhi's tone was inappropriate and quickly stopped her while apologizing to Sang Mo, "Don't blame me, Chief Sang."

"How could that be? Miss Baizhi and I have always been like this. We don't dislike each other. Haha, Madam Xie, you don't have to take it to heart." Sang Mo was still smiling and glanced at Baizhi twice. The other party rolled her eyes at him twice.

Gu Xunwei stopped dwelling on the matter and just said to Sang Mo, "Chief Sang, I do know something about Hu Er. Are you interested?"

"Thank you, thank you, Madam Xie, please tell us quickly." When Sang Mo heard that it was about Hu Er, he immediately became energetic. He stopped walking forward and urged Gu Xunwei to speak quickly with his eyes wide open.

"My second uncle has a cousin named Gu Qiongsi, who is a cousin of Hu Er. And my cousin is now my husband's concubine and has a son." Gu Xunwei's words made Sang Mo open his mouth wide, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Hu Er and my cousin have a close relationship, but since Hu Er has never been to my second uncle's house, we have never met him before. As for what kind of entanglement there is between them, it will require Chief Sang to investigate it himself."

"This, this, this... such a complicated relationship? This is really beyond my expectations. Madam Xie, don't worry, I will definitely investigate it thoroughly and will not miss any details." Sang Mo bowed. Although he was surprised, he still accepted this matter without any doubt.

"Well, if Chief Sang finds out something interesting in the future, please let Bai Zhi tell him. Thank you." Gu Xunwei said to Sang Mo with a faint smile.
