Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

On the second day, Gu Qiongsi indeed found a famous doctor and took him to Xunxiangyuan to check Gu Xunwei's pulse. Then he started to deceive her. If Gu Xunwei didn't know that she was faking illness, she would have believed him.

If Gu Qiongsi had spent a little more money and found a doctor who knew a little about medicine, he would not have failed to realize that he was faking his illness.

It was really difficult for her to hold back her laughter and act with them.

In the end, the "famous doctor" overturned the previous doctor's prescription and wrote a new one for her, repeatedly reminding her to boil the medicine well, take it seriously, and only take it for one month, which would guarantee that the disease would be cured.

Gu Xunwei asked Chenxiang to give her a reward before sending him away.

Gu Qiongsi still stayed here. She was still a little worried and said, "I didn't expect that your condition would be so serious, Wei'er. Have you told your aunt?"

Gu Xunwei shook her head and coughed twice before saying, "My mother sent me a message a few days ago, saying that my father was ill and had been paying less attention to the store. I think it's a bit serious. How can I tell them about these trivial matters and make them worry?"

"Weier is considering it, but I don't think there's anyone around you who cares about you. Chenxiang and Baizhi are both still young, especially Baizhi who is always irritable. Boiling medicine is a delicate job. How about I ask mother to send Li Ma to help boil the medicine? Didn't the famous doctor just say that if the boiling time is not enough or too long, it will affect the efficacy of the medicine."

Gu Qiongsi took Gu Xunwei's hand with concern and gently pressed the Hegu acupoint for her, with worry in her tone.

"This... this is not a good idea. Mother already has a shortage of staff, and it would be inappropriate to ask Nanny Li to come over." Gu Xunwei refused, but there was some expectation in her expression, as if she really hoped that Nanny Li could come over.

"When I came here today, my mother specifically told me that if you need anything, Nanny Li can come over at any time. Although my mother didn't say much, she hopes from the bottom of her heart that you will recover soon." Gu Qiongsi hurriedly explained, and when she saw Gu Xunwei nodded almost imperceptibly, she finally felt relieved.

As long as Gu Xunwei agrees, the rest depends on what Nanny Li does.

"You must tell mother that she only needs to come when Nanny Li is making medicine, and don't bother her at other times." Gu Xunwei still reminded Gu Qiongsi embarrassedly.

"Okay, got it. I'll go tell my mother right away. You just take a good rest." Gu Qiongsi stood up, but sat back down before he took a step.

"Wei'er, with your health condition now, you certainly can't take care of the affairs in the incense shop. I have nothing to do all day, so why don't you let your cousin help you take care of it? It's better than leaving it there with no one to take care of it." Gu Qiongsi finally stated her purpose and looked at Gu Xunwei with burning eyes.

"That's not necessary. I have already dismissed Manager Li, and the two incense shops will be sold together soon. I will not run an incense shop in the future." Gu Xunwei said sadly.

"What? How could this happen? Wei'er, why do you want to fire Manager Li?" Gu Qiongsi had never heard of this matter before, but now that he suddenly heard it, his tone became anxious.

She herself realized that she seemed too anxious, so she quickly said, "I... I mean, I used to think that Manager Li was very reliable. After all, this fragrance testing competition has little to do with Manager Li."

"Yes, I know. It's all my fault. After much consideration, I decided not to continue running the incense shop. So I used all the money to pay severance to the shopkeeper and the cashiers. I feel sorry for them."

"Well, Wei'er, you are confused. Without the incense shop, what should our Xie Mansion do? No, I mean, what will you do if you need money in the future? You can't ask your aunt for it again, right?" Gu Qiongsi still refused to believe it and always felt that this matter was too unbelievable.

How could Gu Xunwei really sell both perfume shops just because she lost the perfume tasting competition? After all, this was where she made her living in the Xie Mansion.

"I have lost the competition. How can I still run a perfume shop in the capital? Moreover, I am now representing my husband. I can't just ignore my husband's reputation for a few silver coins, right?"

Gu Xunwei said hesitantly, "Besides, my husband has always disliked me because I am a merchant girl. I think he will be happy if I do this."

What a joke, Gu Qiongsi couldn't help but complain in her heart, a fool is a fool, if there is no incense shop, she will be of no use at all.

If she could be allowed to die now, perhaps the two shops could be saved, and the unsold dowry in Xunxiangyuan should be able to fetch a lot of silver.

By then, she would find a way to invite back Manager Li of Yaxiangzhai, and the Gu family's incense recipe would also be in her hands. Then, the entire Xie family would have to live by her wishes.

"In that case, cousin, I won't persuade you anymore. How much silver do you plan to get from selling those two shops? I'll see if there are any colleagues or classmates from Sanlang who are interested in this." Gu Qiong thought that there was still more than a month left, so there was no rush for the incense recipe.

"I don't know yet. I'm just cleaning it up now. I'll put it up for sale after everything is done. My father spent two thousand five hundred taels of silver to buy it. Now, I don't know what the situation is. Let's talk about it in a few days when I feel better." Gu Xunwei held her forehead with her hand, as if her forehead was starting to feel uncomfortable again.

"Okay, then Wei'er, have a good rest and don't worry about things outside for the next two days. Chenxiang, come and see what's wrong with the young lady. I'll go and discuss it with my mother first." Gu Qiongsi knew what she wanted to know, so she didn't stay any longer and let Chunxiu return to Rongde Hall with an umbrella.

At this time, Qian was moving a chair and placing it under the corridor. Listening to the "crackling" sound of rain on the eaves, her mood calmed down a little. Things seemed to be moving in a good direction.

One month, he only needs to wait another month and everything will have results. By then, he will be able to own two incense shops that make a fortune every day, and the Xie family will be able to reverse its current tight situation.

Suddenly, there was a loud rumble of thunder in the sky, and then the drizzle began to become more urgent. Li Ma said behind her, "Madam, you should go into the inner room. It looks like the rain is going to get heavier."

At this time, Gu Qiongsi hurriedly walked in from the gate of Rongde Hall.
