Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"Young Madam, don't you like me to serve you the most? I will not go anywhere. I want to stay here and serve you. Young Madam, please..." After a brief moment of surprise, Dingxiang started crying again.

"Today, I accidentally discovered that the young lady was not in the yard. I was afraid that something might happen so late at night, so I went to inform the lady. Young lady, I have good intentions."

It's nonsense, but Ding Xiang is still trying to make excuses.

Gu Xunwei was furious. Ding Xiang's words were like sharp blades that pierced into Gu Xunwei's heart. She clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves and said, "Then sell it."

Her cold words shocked Ding Xiang. Sold out? For someone like me who made a mistake and was sold out, where else could I go? Wouldn't I never have a chance to make a comeback in the rest of my life?

No, she couldn't be sold.

So, she stopped struggling and kowtowed, saying, "Young Madam, please have mercy on me. I am willing to serve Aunt Gu in her courtyard. Please grant my wish, Young Madam."

As expected, Gu Xunwei turned her back with a sneer on her face. The relationship between Ding Xiang and Gu Qiongsi was indeed not simple.

As smart as Dingxiang was, at this moment she actually gave up going to the lady's courtyard who had the power of housekeeper, and went to the courtyard of a concubine. If she said that the relationship between them was just superficial, no one would believe it.

"Baizhi, then take Dingxiang over, and give her indenture to Aunt Gu." Gu Xunwei instructed Baizhi, and then without even looking at Dingxiang, she pulled Chenxiang into the house.

A red slap mark was clearly visible on Chenxiang's fair face, and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth. When he spoke, there was a bright red color on his teeth.

Gu Xunwei went to the inner room personally, found a bottle of ointment, and carefully applied it to Chenxiang.

Chen Xiang was flattered and waved her hands in fear. Gu Xunwei grabbed her arm and pressed her down on the chair, then said, "Silly girl, don't worry about this kind of thing again. What kind of trouble can they cause? To me, you are more important than all of them."

Chenxiang was deeply moved after hearing this. She knew that she was tongue-tied and didn't know how to adapt. She couldn't do many things as well as Dingxiang, and her words were not pleasant either. That was why Gu Xunwei had always liked Dingxiang and she had no complaints. But what the young lady said to her today made her want to do more for her.

"Slave, I just want to... this is what I should do." The corner of her mouth was injured and it was a little inconvenient. Gu Xunwei was helping her apply medicine, so she could only reply simply.

"What you still need to do in the future is to protect yourself and not let others bully you."

When Gu Xunwei was halfway through applying the medicine, Bai Zhi came back and continued what Gu Xunwei said, "Young Madam is right. I will teach Sister Chenxiang some martial arts when I have time. Even if I can't beat those masters, I will definitely have no problem dealing with these women in the backyard."

She also watched the whole process of Chenxiang being beaten today. It would be a lie to say that she was not angry, so she had this idea since then.

Gu Xunwei nodded and encouraged Chenxiang, and Chenxiang happily nodded in agreement.

They were having a great time for the moment, with the two of them helping Chenxiang apply the medicine carefully. However, things were not so pleasant for Qian.

It was already very late when she came back from Xunxiangyuan, but she met Gu Qiongsi who had just returned home on the road. Although the other party was wearing a veil hat, Qian still felt it was inappropriate for her to come back so late.

So, without further ado, she called Gu Qiongsi, who looked a little panicked, to Rongdeyuan.

Gu Qiongsi was wearing a veil at the time, so Qian naturally couldn't see her pale lips and sweaty hair under the veil. She could only see her slightly trembling legs as she stood in the hall.

"What were you doing outside for half a day? Why are you so tired?" Qian frowned and asked unhappily.

Gu Qiongsi hesitated about how to start the conversation. After all, she couldn't tell Qian about what she had done today. Then she heard Shuangrui at the side speaking first.

He stepped forward and clasped his fists in greeting to Qian, then said, "Madam, Aunt Gu was ordered by the young master to go out today to do something in order to remedy the negative impact on the young master caused by today's housewarming party."

"Bad influence? Just because she's a concubine?" Qian looked at Gu Qiongsi unhappily. She didn't understand what ability this woman had to coax her son around and get him to do what she wanted.

"Yes." Shuangrui took Qian's teasing words as a question and answered honestly.

Before Qian could vent her anger, Shuangrui had already made her angry. Nanny Li tugged at her clothes from behind, and she straightened her expression. "I just came over from Wei'er's Xunxiangyuan. Her two incense shops had some problems and she was still working on the turnover. I wonder how much silver Aunt Gu has left?"

Gu Qiongsi frowned slightly, and his face under the veil was full of disgust. This old woman was getting more and more comfortable asking him for money. She was really shameless.

"To answer mother's question, I don't have any extra money." Gu Qiongsi leaned over hesitantly, her tone full of caution.

"No more. When your mother left, she said you took the silver out of the house. How come you spent it all?" Qian couldn't help but raise her voice. The silver that entered the Xie Mansion was all related to her, Qian. How could she spend it so lavishly?

Just as Gu Qiongsi was about to explain, Xie Cheng'an had already appeared at the door of Rongde Hall and walked in quickly with an unhappy look on his face.

He was already upset enough today, and he didn't expect his mother to make things worse for him. He said directly in a bad tone, "Mother, I arranged for Si'er to leave the house today. From now on, don't worry about Si'er leaving the house anymore. I'll take care of it."

Qian Shi heard a strong sense of dissatisfaction in this sentence. Although she was unhappy, she still stood up from her chair and went to greet him, "Brother An, isn't it also for the reputation of our Xie Mansion? Besides, how can you, a man, get involved in these matters in the backyard?"

"Mother, you should know that we had no choice but to bring Si'er into the mansion. If that incident had not been discovered, I would never have left Si'er in the backyard of the Xie Mansion at this time. If you still want to take care of her, I can only find a house outside to keep Si'er there."

Xie Cheng'an rejected Qian's statement without giving Qian any explanation, and did not give Qian any face at all.

Qian took two deep breaths, suppressed her anger once again, and changed her words, "Mother didn't mean anything else. It's just about the two shops at Wei'er's place. I came to discuss it with Si'er."
