Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Yes, Xie Chengan is dead and there is no evidence. What else can she say now?

"What? You have nothing to say?" Gu Xunwei looked at Gu Qiongsi's desperate expression. There was no sympathy in her heart, only endless pleasure.

She has waited for this day for too long!

"Gu Qiongsi, did you plan from the beginning that when I had gone to great lengths to help Xie Chengan reach a high position, you would find a way to bring down me and the Gu family, and then take away my Gu family's incense recipe, and then you would move into the Xie Mansion and become Xie Chengan's legal wife?" Gu Xunwei asked word by word, her tone icy and chilling, as if it was a death curse from hell.

Gu Qiongsi was so frightened by Gu Xunwei's eyes that she trembled all over. She wanted to escape, but found that she had nowhere to escape.

"You...how do you know? What do you want to do?" Gu Qiongsi looked at Gu Xunwei in horror, his voice trembling.

Why did she know all of my plans at that time? Did Xie Chengan tell her before he died?

Gu Xunwei didn't say anything, but took out a delicate porcelain bottle from her sleeve, put it to her nose and sniffed it gently.

"What is this?" Gu Qiongsi smelled the strange fragrance and immediately had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Didn't you choose 'Beauty Smile' in the first place? In fact, the formula on the incense recipe is also fake. I have painstakingly adjusted it, retaining some of its efficacy while increasing its side effects. Gu Qiongsi, you will have a miserable life in the future."

Gu Xunwei looked at Gu Qiongsi with a strange smile on her face, "I'll let you taste the real 'beauty's smile' now!"

After saying that, Gu Xunwei opened the porcelain bottle in her hand, and an elegant fragrance immediately spread out, and Gu Qiongsi felt refreshed.

"No, no, don't, Wei'er, look at your cousin's body. She's almost dying. Please let her leave in a dignified manner." When Gu Qiongsi heard that it was the beauty's smile, he had to cry and beg Gu Xunwei.

This was the first time she was so humble and at a loss in front of Gu Xunwei.

"Then tell me everything about you and I can forgive you." Gu Xunwei asked in a low voice, looking at Gu Qiongsi, whose face was pale and lips were trembling.

"I, I'll tell you..." Gu Qiongsi's eyes were filled with despair. His thoughts of surpassing Gu Xunwei were all extinguished at this moment. "I'll tell you everything, Wei'er, I'll tell you everything!"

Gu Qiongsi slumped on the bed, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, staring ahead with empty eyes.

She confessed everything in detail, from her initial jealousy of Gu Xunwei, to how she hooked up with Xie Chengan, and then to how she planned step by step to poison Gu Xunwei and take over Gu's fragrance recipe.

She even told him without reservation how she used the Gu family to boost Xie Cheng'an's career and eventually helped him become the Minister of Rites.

Gu Xunwei listened quietly, her expression not changing at all, as if she was listening to a story that had nothing to do with her.

Only the occasional flash of coldness in her clear eyes revealed the turmoil in her heart at the moment.

"Wei'er, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! For the sake of our sisterhood, please forgive me this time!" Gu Qiongsi pleaded with tears in her eyes. She wanted to crawl to Gu Xunwei's feet, but was pushed onto the bed by Bai Zhi.

Gu Xunwei ignored Gu Qiongsi. She stood up, straightened her dress, and sighed deeply before ordering, "Let's go. She has already received the retribution she deserves. The rest depends on her luck."

……

It was late at night, but Liushui Lane was still brightly lit and the noise was endless.

However, in a remote room in Cuiyan Pavilion, Gu Qiongsi was lying alone on the bed, looking exhausted and staring ahead with empty eyes.

In a trance, she seemed to have returned to her previous life and saw herself wearing a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe, becoming the envied wife of Minister Xie.

He looked down at Gu Xunwei who was kneeling at his feet, with a smug and vicious smile on his face.

"Weier, did you see that? Sanlang finally chose to be with me. You tried your best to help him climb up the ladder, but in the end, everything he has is mine!"

Gu Xunwei's face was pale and her lips were trembling, but she couldn't utter a word.

"Wei'er, don't be sad. After all, you have no chance." Gu Qiongsi laughed so hard that her body shook with a vicious light in her eyes. "Don't worry, I will take good care of Sanlang. You and your parents, those idiots, can go on your journey with peace of mind. Hahaha..."

"Haha, yes, that's how it should be—"

Gu Qiongsi woke up suddenly, only to find himself still lying on the shabby bed in Cuiyan Pavilion, covered with thin bedding, and the room was cold.

It turned out that all this was just a dream, a dream that made her happy for a moment!

She struggled to sit up and looked around. She was the only one in the empty room.

She remembered the cold look in Gu Xunwei's eyes before she left, and what she said, and a deep fear suddenly surged in her heart.

What exactly does Gu Xunwei want to do? Will she really let him go?

The more Gu Qiongsi thought about it, the more scared she became. She wanted to escape from here, escape from Gu Xunwei's control, but she had nowhere to escape.

She is now like a trapped beast in a cage, and can only allow Mother Hu to control her every day. How long can her broken body last? She can only watch herself walk step by step towards the abyss.

Gu Qiongsi originally thought that what was waiting for her was quiet despair, like a broken bowl discarded in a corner, which would eventually be covered in dust and broken, with no one paying attention to it.

But she was wrong, and her end was a torture more terrible than death.

Because the effect of "Beauty Smile" that I had talked about casually at the beginning had been discovered to be wrong by more and more people after Wang Dadang and his group had used it for several months.

Those victims who had originally held out a glimmer of hope and hoped for a miracle finally fell into complete despair six months later.

Those who were impotent remained impotent, and those who were already weak were even more drained of their bodies. They coughed up blood all day long and were on the verge of death.

The anger, like dry firewood poured with oil, instantly ignited.

Led by Wang Da, the leader of the Tiger Head Gang, a group of poor souls whose sexual happiness was ruined by "Beauty's Smile" rushed into Cuiyan Pavilion in a menacing manner.

Cuiyan Pavilion's madam, Mother Hu, had never seen such a scene before. Before she could even say hello, she was kicked to the ground by the boss Wang.

"Where's that bitch Gu Qiongsi? Where is she? Call her out!"

Mother Hu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She did not dare to delay and quickly ordered the servant to call out Gu Qiongsi who was still in the room.
