Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

After she came into this world, almost all the information was sorted out, but there seemed to be no clue that Li Junze was not a prince.

However, what Sun Xingzhi said just now shocked her heart, that is, Li Junze was the illegitimate son of Wang Zhuo and his concubine.

She had noticed something was wrong very early on. As the third prince, Li Junze's reliance on Wang Zhuo was indeed excessive. He could even be described as "obedient" in many matters.

If the bond between them is just a simple one between the grandfather and the third prince, something seems a little off.

Thinking of this, Gu Qiongsi looked at Sun Xingzhi in front of him with even more surprise. As a third place winner in the imperial examination, his future development was limitless.

If she were to make any choice under the current circumstances when everything is unclear, she would undoubtedly choose to follow Sun Xingzhi and leave this place.

"Okay, I'll go with you." She answered briefly, turned around and took out the bag that had been packed long ago from behind the chair.

Sun Xingzhi nodded, ignoring the puzzled looks of the servants in the mansion, and openly took Gu Qiongsi's hand and left the Third Prince's Mansion together.

"Where are we going now? There's no one on the street now. Isn't it dangerous for us to run back and forth like this?" Gu Qiongsi was pulled all the way and quickly followed Sun Xingzhi's footsteps.

"I'll go back to the courtyard where I rented before and hide for a while. I'll make plans after this matter is settled." He answered without turning his head.

However, his eyes were observing the movements on the street and he seemed to be very cautious.

Sun Xingzhi's courtyard was not too far from the Third Prince's Palace. It would take only a cup of tea to get there. Today they walked fast and arrived even faster.

After opening the door, they saw a nanny and a cleaning maid huddled together nervously. When they heard someone opening the door and coming in, they were so scared that they went out to check with a hammer in their hands.

Seeing that it was Sun Xingzhi, the nanny burst into tears and said, "Master, you are finally back. I thought I would never see you again..."

The little maid also huddled together and put away the hammer. She took two quick steps to lock the gate tightly, and then walked back to the nanny.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Madam. It's okay now. It's a mess outside, let's go back to the house first." Sun Xingzhi didn't explain much and pulled Gu Qiongsi into the house.

However, after seeing such a small courtyard, Gu Qiongsi felt extremely dissatisfied.

It turns out that a distinguished scholar who has won the third place in the imperial examination actually lives in such a small yard, and it is rented?

But in this situation, she couldn't say much and could only follow him in.

After Sun Xingzhi sat down, he finally had time to introduce Gu Qiongsi to the nanny, "Madam, this is Madam Gu. She will live with us from now on."

The nanny didn't dare to look closely. She only observed Gu Qiongsi twice with the corner of her eyes, then bowed her head and saluted, "Greetings, Madam Gu."

Gu Qiongsi nodded without saying anything more. After seeing the furnishings in the house, she felt that Sun Xingzhi was extremely shabby.

How much more suffering would I have to endure if I lived with him?

Thinking of this, she lost interest in greeting the nanny and the maidservant, and placed all her hopes on the fact that if Sun Xingzhi was really a prince, he would definitely be brought back to the palace in the future.

So she waited until the nanny and the maid left before she inquired carefully, "Sun Tanhua, I heard from the people in the Third Prince's mansion a few days ago that you were captured by the Jingji Army. Is this true?"

Sun Xingzhi nodded. That day, he followed Li Junze's order and led the Yanbei Army near the City God Temple to intercept and kill the Jingji Army. Unfortunately, it was actually a trap set by the Jingji Army.

He had already noticed something was wrong before he took action, but the hatred he felt towards Wang Zhuo and Li Junze made him remain silent at that time.

Therefore, all the people who went there at that time were all arrested, but I did not participate because I was a scholar. It was when the Jingji Army was cleaning up the battlefield that I took the initiative to walk out and was arrested.

"Captain Yang of the Jingji Army and the old vanguard Yu have already intercepted and killed the Yanbei Army far away from the capital. There shouldn't be many people who can rush to the capital."

This was more or less the news he heard from the Jingji Army, and this outcome was exactly what he wanted.

"But why would they let you go at this time? Do you know how Wen Jiaxiang and Cao Xingwen are doing now?"

Gu Qiongsi asked impatiently. In fact, this was what she urgently wanted to know.

Sun Xingzhi reached out and pulled Gu Qiongsi over. Gu Qiongsi was caught off guard and was almost knocked down. Fortunately, the other party supported her, but her leg still hit the corner of the table.

She hissed in pain and looked at Sun Xingzhi with a frown.

Sun Xingzhi pulled her into his arms and whispered, "They are both ignorant of the current situation and still choose to remain loyal to Li Junze. How could the Jingji Army let them go?"

When Gu Qiongsi heard this, his eyes immediately widened. Does this mean that Sun Xingzhi chose to betray Wang Zhuo and Li Junze and became a member of the Jingji Army, so they released him back at this time?

Oh my God, Sun Xingzhi knew too much about Wang Zhuo and the others. If he told them all, it would be strange if Li Junze and the others could succeed in this operation.

"You, did you really tell Jingjijun everything and all the plans?" Her voice was filled with fear.

Sun Xingzhi also heard it. He looked into Gu Qiongsi's eyes and asked word by word, "Why, are you still dreaming about Li Junze ascending the throne and taking you into the harem?"

Gu Qiongsi quickly lowered his head, hiding the guilty conscience in his eyes, and argued in a low voice, "No, no, no, I just think that this matter is too strange, so I can't help but be a little surprised."

"Strange? What's strange?"

"How could the Jingji Army believe what you said and release you at this time? Don't you think this is too strange?"

Gu Qiongsi's analysis is not without reason. Even if the Jingji Army confirmed that what Sun Xingzhi said was true, they should have chosen to release Sun Xingzhi after the matter of Li Junze was settled.

Moreover, as Sun Xingzhi was a third place winner in the imperial examination, he held an official position in the court. When something like this happened, the court should have issued a document of dethronement or an imperial decree of punishment.

But now, there is nothing.

Sun Xingzhi said indifferently, "After all, I am an official appointed by the court, and I know people in the Jingji Army."
