Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

When Sun Xingzhi returned to the courtyard, half of his face was swollen and red, and one of his eyes was bruised.

Gu Qiongsi walked out of the house and asked in surprise, "What happened? Didn't you go to the Dali Temple? Why did you fight with others?"

Sun Xingzhi sat dejectedly on a stool in the yard and told him everything that Deputy General Niu had said to him when he was in the Dali Temple.

"What? Did they already recognize you as your relative by blood when you were in the Jingji Army camp?"

Gu Qiongsi was even more surprised. Why had Sun Xingzhi never mentioned such a thing to her?

“When I was at the Jingji Army camp, they didn’t tell me directly, but asked the military doctor to check my pulse. He said there were signs of poisoning and that they only needed to let out a little blood to heal me.

So, I didn't think much about it at the time, but it turned out that the imperial physician and Yu Zhaoyi went there together to do the blood test to identify the relationship, and I only found out about it today."

When Gu Qiongsi heard him say this, and thought about how Yu Zhaoyi was said to have committed suicide to atone for her sins, she thought that she must have chosen to commit suicide because she was ultimately unable to find her child.

So, Sun Xingzhi really is not a prince just as he guessed.

Now that he has lost his official position, what’s the use of having the title of Tanhua?

"Okay, I understand." Gu Qiongsi sighed and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask who attacked him.

"Si'er, are you disappointed? I have nothing now, only you. You can't leave me.

I have the ability, even if I don't have an official position, we can find a small place where no one knows me, and I can teach in a private school and give you a life of luxury."

Sun Xingzhi seemed to sense Gu Qiongsi's mood. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and explained nervously.

Private school? Sir?

Gu Qiongsi was somewhat disdainful of what Sun Xingzhi said. How much money could a private school teacher earn? What could a few taels of silver every month do?

But she didn't show it on her face, "You worry too much, Si'er will never leave you, just don't worry."

After she finished speaking, Sun Xingzhi's nervous heart relaxed a little, and without thinking too much, he spoke out all the thoughts he had just been thinking about.

"Let's go to Xiangyang City. I'll use the money Wang Zhuo gave me to buy a small courtyard there, and we can live there, okay?"

Xiangyang City is not far from the capital. Many students taking the imperial examinations, especially those without background or money, would go to Xiangyang City for further study for half a year before the examination.

Those who have good background and money mostly come to the capital to study.

What's more, the prices in Xiangyang City are not expensive, and the money he has saved over the years should be enough to buy a small courtyard.

Gu Qiongsi nodded and replied without thinking, "Okay, wherever Sun Lang goes, I will follow."

Gu Qiongsi's words made Sun Xingzhi feel much better.

So he took her into the room. The nanny had already prepared dinner, rice porridge with pickles, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables.

Gu Qiongsi didn't have a good appetite, and the light food made her lose all appetite.

He took two bites and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"I figured that your little day tonight should be over, right?"

Sun Xingzhi and Gu Qiongsi had not been in the mood to make love these past two days. But now that Sun Xingzhi knew that he was not the third prince, he became interested.

However, Gu Qiongsi shook his head and said, "This time seems to be different from the past. There are still some today. Sun Lang should wait a little longer."

Talking about this matter, Gu Qiongsi felt very uncomfortable. Ever since what happened between him and Wang Erdang in Fengyue Pavilion last time, today is already the seventh day, but there seems to be no intention of stopping.

There aren't many every day, but there are always some.

"What's going on? Shouldn't it have stopped today?" Sun Xingzhi was a little puzzled. His suspicious nature also made him suspect that Gu Qiongsi was trying to fool him.

"Sun Lang may not understand this very well. Some people don't always have a seven-day period, and some people have no regular pattern at all. My situation is relatively regular.

But today is not over yet, please be patient, Sun Lang, we will have plenty of time later."

Gu Qiongsi said slowly, "Besides, if Sun Lang plans to leave tomorrow, there will be a lot of things and items that need to be packed tonight, right?"

Sun Xingzhi reluctantly accepted Gu Qiongsi's statement, then nodded, called the nanny and the maid in and told them to go to Xiangyang City.

Without his official position and the possibility of becoming the third prince, Sun Xingzhi no longer had the slightest attachment to the capital.

The nanny lamented with tears in her eyes that Sun Xingzhi had a miserable fate. He was young but had experienced so much, and she felt so distressed for him.

Gu Qiongsi observed the conversation between the master and servants coldly from the side, but he had his own plans in mind.

In the second half of the night, Gu Qiongsi quietly took out his bag and secretly left Sun Xingzhi's small courtyard.

There were two silver notes of one hundred taels and one silver note of two hundred taels in her bag. With this money, she could do a lot of things.

He might even be able to turn his life around by relying on "Beauty's Smile", so why would he follow Sun Xingzhi and eat porridge and pickles for the rest of his life?

However, the reputation of "Beauty Smile" in the capital is not good now, especially with the people of the Tiger Head Gang.

If they still show no signs of improvement after half a year, I will be in a lot of trouble unless I change my name and packaging and make a comeback.

These are not problems. Leaving Sun Xingzhi is the first thing she needs to do.

The kind of hard life that Sun Xingzhi and his friends were going to live was not something that Gu Qiongsi could approve of. That was definitely not the kind of life she wanted for the rest of her life.

So, at dawn the next day, Sun Xingzhi and the nanny discovered Gu Qiongsi's departure very early.

The clothes and the bag disappeared together, obviously she left on her own.

Mammy shed tears again, "Sir, that woman is not of the same kind as us, you... should stop thinking about her."

Sun Xingzhi was so angry that he could not speak, and he was extremely sad and disappointed.

"She is already a fallen woman, but I don't despise her. Why does she still treat me like this? Mammy, am I really that unbearable?"

"Sir, no, you are very capable, talented and ambitious. Nanny will always be with you. Let's go to Xiangyang City, and Nanny will find a better woman to be your wife..."

Nanny watched Sun Xingzhi grow up, so she naturally knew the pain in his heart and understood why he was so attached to Gu Qiongsi.

So he held Sun Xingzhi and kept talking.
