Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"Hey, do you think I don't want to? But she has only been married for one day. What reason do we have to divorce her? Does Brother An divorce his wife just because he wins the first place in the imperial examination? And,"

Qian also put down her chopsticks, wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and continued, "Brother An is in need of money right now, and our Xie family doesn't have that much money to give him. Do you have any ideas?"

Of course Mr. Xie didn't. He was just saying that out of anger because he really couldn't stand Gu Xunwei's business-girl behavior.

Around the end of the You hour, Xie Cheng'an came back drunk and was supported by Shuangrui to pay his respects to his parents.

"Brother An, what's the situation outside now? I calculated that the time should be almost up, right?" Qian held Xie Chengan and asked in a low voice.

"Well, it will take about a month. The midwife and the wet nurse have been found, so don't worry, mother." Xie Cheng'an's cheeks were flushed and he reeked of alcohol when he spoke.

"Well, that's good. It's not a good idea for you to keep running back and forth like this. Otherwise, bring her back home. You are the top scholar now, and you will have a better future. You can have a few concubines." Qian suggested indifferently.

"Si'er and I truly love each other, how could I let her be my aunt? What's more, she is pregnant with my child now, and I can't let her down." Xie Cheng'an frowned. He had never thought of letting Si'er be his aunt.

He and Si'er have already thought about what to do in the future.

"Isn't it better for my aunt to be a concubine like her? I really don't know what you are thinking. Well, since you don't want to, then let's wait until the baby is born."

Qian was also helpless. She had never been able to persuade her son, and now that he had become the top scorer, she could not say anything harsh.

Seeing Xie Chengan was about to leave again, she had to hold him back again, "I don't care what happens between you and the one outside, you have to comfort the one at home, and you have to accompany her back home early tomorrow morning, and consummate your marriage with her as soon as possible, otherwise, how can she help you with everything wholeheartedly?"

Xie Chengan burped twice in succession, waved his hand and said, "She is a business woman, how dare she ask me for something? Don't worry, mother, I have a way to make her pay."

As he spoke, he took Shuangrui's hand, walked out of the main house, and went to the study in the front yard to rest.

Qian sighed helplessly. Her son was not a worry-free person, and her daughter-in-law was not an easy person to deal with either. It was difficult for her to be caught between them.

If it weren't for Gu Xunwei's dowry, she would never have been so embarrassed.

The next morning, Gu Xunwei packed up and took Chenxiang's hand to pay her respects to Qian. As expected, Xie Chengan had gone out early in the morning because his classmates were discussing the Qionglin Banquet with him, so he could not accompany Gu Xunwei back home.

It was exactly the same as the previous life, even the excuses were the same.

Gu Xunwei bid farewell to Qian and drove back to Gu Mansion in Liuzhou early.

After a whole day's journey, it was already the end of the afternoon when they arrived at Gu's residence. The sky was gradually getting dark, and big red lanterns were hung in front of the residence, illuminating half of the street.

Her father Gu Ziyu and mother Su were waiting at the door with a group of maids and servants. When they saw her carriage coming from afar, they gathered together and walked towards this side.

Gu Xunwei, who was sitting in the carriage, finally couldn't hold back any longer at this moment. After a lifetime, she finally saw her parents again. How could she not be excited?

But when she thought about how her parents were framed to death by her own Xie Chengan and Gu Qiongsi in the previous life, her eyes became wet with tears again.

After getting off the carriage, Gu Xunwei was the first to bow to her father and mother, and then she hugged her mother.

"Okay, let's not stay outside for now. Wei'er has been cold all day. Go back to the house and warm up." Gu Ziyu quickly reminded his wife.

After saying that, Su also patted Gu Xunwei on the back and said, "Yes, let's go home."

However, Su and Gu Ziyu still glanced into the carriage and found that their son-in-law did not come back with them.

It seems that now that her son-in-law has won the top spot in the imperial examination, her daughter's situation in her husband's family will not be very good.

Neither of them asked about Xie Chengan, but had dinner with Gu Xunwei.

Gu Ziyu knew that the mother and daughter had a lot to talk about, and it would not be convenient for him to be there, so after dinner he found an excuse to go to the study.

"Weier, is Brother An not treating you well?" Su asked carefully.

"Mother, he has won the top spot in the imperial examination and needs money everywhere. But even if the entire Xie family sells their house, they can't raise a few hundred taels of silver. They dare not do anything to me for the time being." Gu Xunwei said casually. She didn't want her mother to worry too much about her situation.

"Well, that's good. When you go back this time, take the dowry I prepared for you with you. Your father and I will feel more at ease if you have money with you."

Su wiped her tears and continued, "Your father and I have bought a few shops for you in the capital. If you manage them well, you will definitely have no worries about food and clothing."

"Mother, you don't have to be like this. I'm doing fine over there. I won't take anything with me when I go back this time. Also, mother, was it really Xie Chengan who saved me when I fell into the water?"

Gu Xunwei suddenly turned the topic to the time of falling into the water, which made Su stunned.

But she nodded quickly, "Yes, when I heard about it and rushed over, you and him were both soaking wet by the river, and you were completely unconscious. Si'er told her mother about the situation at the time. If it wasn't for An Ge, you would definitely not have survived."

Gu Xunwei understood clearly that it was seven months ago when she and her cousin Gu Qiongsi were out for fun and they accidentally fell into the water. It was Xie Chengan who saved her.

Because I had physical contact with him, the parents of both sides started to see each other and finally decided on the marriage.

With her experiences in her previous life and knowing what happened to Gu Rui, no matter how dumb she was, she should have known that it was a trap set for her by her good cousin and Xie Chengan.

It's a pity that I didn't figure out these things until I died in my previous life. It's really sad.

"Has my cousin returned home? I haven't seen her for a long time." Gu Xunwei asked about Gu Qiongsi's whereabouts as usual.

"I asked your second uncle yesterday, and he said that Si'er went to pray for your grandmother. She should stay in Puhua Temple for half a year before coming back. You will definitely not be able to see her when you come back this time."

Su had no doubts about it. After all, her daughter and Si'er had been playing together since childhood and had a very close relationship.

"The last time I asked Second Aunt, she said the same thing. She didn't even come back after I got married. But she was talking about Lingyin Temple. How come the location has changed?" Gu Xunwei muttered softly.

"Your second uncle is a person who doesn't care about anything, so it's possible that he remembered it wrong." Su couldn't help but laugh.
