Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Gu Qiongsi pretended to read it very seriously, "The ambition is high and the wind and clouds are vast, and the spirit is high and the song is long. The ambition is high and the spirit is eternal. Well, Sanlang's poem "Longing Aspirations" is very well written, with a lofty artistic conception and great spirit. Compared with the poem you wrote at the housewarming party, it seems to be a lot better."

Xie Cheng'an was delighted when he heard this. He was naturally talented. Even though he had used a few sentences given to him by Gu Qiongsi during the imperial examination, he did not think that the credit was all due to those sentences.

"Well, Si'er was right about Sanlang. Sanlang is not only talented, but also ambitious. He will surely make a big splash in the future." Gu Qiongsi's nice words came out of her mouth, praising Xie Cheng'an so much that he was very excited.

"Si'er, if I take these poems to a poetry gathering and still feel they are not amazing enough, could you help me revise them?"

"This..." Gu Qiongsi was silent for a moment, and then said, "You can see that I have been having trouble thinking and my mind has been restless lately. I am completely unable to calm down and compose poetry. I am afraid that I will disappoint Sanlang."

"I know what you are worried about. I came here today just to ask you," Xie Cheng'an put the poem he had written on the table and then sat back in the main seat.

Then he said, "Mother is worried that Gu Xunwei will sell both incense shops, so she decided to increase the dosage and shorten the one-month dosage to half a month. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"This..." Gu Qiongsi looked reluctant, but still said, "It won't be discovered, but if the coroner performs an autopsy after death, I'm afraid they will find clues."

"Coroner? Autopsy?" Xie Cheng'an looked incredulous, but soon calmed down and said nonchalantly, "How could a female official's family allow a coroner to perform an autopsy? You can rest assured about this."

"There are no others. Be careful when you put them down and don't get discovered." Gu Qiongsi reminded again.

"Okay, I understand. After she dies in half a month, I will make you my legal wife, and all her dowry will be given to you to manage. Okay?"

Xie Cheng'an has already thought about the future path. He truly likes and admires Gu Qiongsi, and it would be too unfair to her to have her be his aunt.

Gu Qiongsi nodded slightly, a hint of shyness on her face, but she still leaned over and kissed Xie Chengan on the cheek.

The other person's body stiffened, and Gu Qiongsi immediately remembered the red marks on her body, so she had to stand up from him immediately, smiling and saying, "Sanlang, go back first. Si'er will ask Chunxiu to bring you some snacks tonight."

She pushed Chunxiu out to help him serve Xie Chengan again, but Xie Chengan was a little unwilling this time. He said unhappily, "Si'er has been out of confinement for such a long time, and you were pregnant for such a long time, doesn't Si'er miss me?"

Gu Qiongsi knew that the other party would be suspicious, so she could only explain with a smile, "Sanlang, what are you talking about? You know that Si'er sprained her waist today. Besides, Si'er still has to help Sanlang revise his poem tonight. After a few days, when these things are settled, Si'er will accompany you well."

After hearing this, Xie Chengan finally calmed down his unhappy expression, shook his head helplessly, and stood up from the chair. "Well, then let's wait a few more days. I will also go back and write two more poems. Chunxiu won't need to send food to me in the evening."

"Yes." Gu Qiongsi bowed and escorted Xie Cheng'an out of the main house. Shuangrui, holding an oil-paper umbrella, went to the study in the front yard with Xie Cheng'an.

Gu Qiongsi restrained his submissive expression and turned his gaze to the three poems written by Xie Chengan.

After frowning and thinking for a while, she called Chunxiu in from the courtyard and said, "Give these three poems to Mr. Nanshan and tell him that Qingzhu asked him to help revise them."

Chunxiu nodded in agreement quickly, went back to the house to change her wet clothes, then wrapped the three pieces of rice paper in oil paper, and went out wearing her straw raincoat and hat.

Gu Qiongsi's eyes were deep. In her previous life, she had fully utilized the advantages and specialties of all the men she dated to help her do things. She didn't expect that when she returned to ancient times, she would have to do the same thing.

As for the other thing Xie Chengan mentioned, that is, whether Gu Xunwei's death would be discovered by the Gu family, she believed that it probably would not happen, because Gu Ziyu was in poor health now, and in fact her parents had already taken action in advance, and the potion they used was the same as that used for Gu Xunwei.

By then, Gu Xunwei passed away, and her father would also pass away at about the same time, leaving only an aunt who was indifferent to worldly affairs. She would definitely not have time to grieve, and would certainly not make any big fuss.

At 15:00 on the evening of You, the rain stopped for a moment. Gu Xunwei came out of the incense-making room, put down her rolled-up sleeves, and saw Bai Zhi and Ye Ying waiting in the main room, both wet.

"Oh, why are you so wet? Come on, change your clothes first." Without saying anything, she asked the two of them to change their clothes first. It was raining so hard, they must have been wet for a long time.

Bai Zhi left in response, while Ye Ying bowed and said, "Madam Xie, don't worry. We have strong constitutions since childhood, so this little bit of cold and dampness is no problem."

The key point is that she was assigned to carry out the task temporarily, so how could she bring any spare clothes?

Chen Xiang smiled and said, "Miss Nighthawk, you should change, otherwise the young lady will feel uneasy. Come back with me to the side room. We are about the same height, so you can temporarily wear my clothes."

When Yeying heard this, he could no longer insist and had to follow Chenxiang to the side room.

After a while, the two changed their clothes, wiped their hair, and then appeared in front of Gu Xunwei again.

Nighthawk had been trained as a secret guard since she was a child, and she wore night clothes and armor. She had never worn such clothes before. She was at a loss, blushing, and kept pulling at her clothes. However, it did not stop her from reporting to Gu Xunwei what she had heard in Rongdeyuan.

After listening to the reports from the two, Gu Xunwei knew that what she had told them today had made them impatient to speed up the process of action. This was also within her expectations. However, when she heard Bai Zhi talking about Xie Rui's rash, she was a little confused.

In his previous life, he had taken care of Xie Rui for three years, so he naturally knew that whenever it was rainy, he would get some rashes on his body and face, sometimes more, sometimes less, but every time the rash appeared it was extremely itchy and Xie Rui would cry constantly.

At first, I went to see a doctor, who said it was a syndrome of spleen deficiency and dampness. In fact, it was just that the spleen was weak and could not effectively transport water and dampness. Dampness accumulated in the body, and a rash occurred when it was cloudy and rainy.

So, she spent a lot of effort to help Xie Rui recover, and after about a year, he was cured.

But why did Gu Qiongsi react like that when he saw Xie Rui had a rash?
