Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

After experiencing betrayal in her previous life and rebirth, she really needs to thank Buddha and God for giving her a chance to start over, giving her time to save her parents and give herself a different life.

She knelt on the mat sincerely, closed her eyes and prayed silently, which made Su beside her feel deeply comforted.

Her daughter gave her a completely different feeling since she got married. She no longer had the impetuousness and innocence she once had. She felt that her daughter actually had a calmness and wisdom that was not appropriate for her age.

After offering incense, Gu Xunwei and her daughter donated one hundred taels of incense money to Puhua Temple to light a perpetual lamp for the deceased old lady Gu.

Only then did Su ask the young master who led them about Gu Qiongsi.

The young master shook his head and said politely, "Sir, there is no such person as Gu in this temple who is worshipping Buddha."

Su immediately returned the greeting to the young master, and then sat down in a small Buddhist temple with her daughter Gu Xunwei to rest.

"Wei'er, it seems that your cousin is really not in the temple. In other words, your second uncle and second aunt are hiding Si'er's whereabouts. Speaking of which, it seems that I haven't seen Si'er for about half a year."

Su then realized that Gu Qiongsi seemed to have not appeared in front of her for a long time.

At first, it was about visiting relatives and staying for a short time at my grandparents' home, but later it became coming to the temple to pray for blessings.

Gu Xunwei pulled her mother's arm and said, "Second Uncle and Second Aunt must have some difficulties. Let's not talk about this matter for now."

Although Su nodded, she had her own guesses about the matter in her heart.

At three quarters after noon, their carriage had returned to the Gu Mansion.

Gu Ziyu had just finished his work in the shop and came back, and the family of three happily had a reunion dinner together.

Since Gu Xunwei hadn't sorted out some of her thoughts clearly, she didn't talk too much with her parents, for fear of causing them unnecessary worry.

Before dawn the next day, Gu Xunwei took Chenxiang in a carriage to the capital.

Chenxiang sat in the carriage, looking towards the direction of the Gu Mansion with reluctance. She and Dingxiang were both family-born children, and their parents both worked in the Gu Mansion, so naturally they were reluctant to leave.

"Chenxiang, if we develop well in the capital in the future, I will also consider letting the Gu family live in the capital permanently, so that you and your parents can meet often." Gu Xunwei said with a faint smile.

Although Chenxiang was a calm and steady person, he was shocked to hear Gu Xunwei say this suddenly. The Gu family had always been doing well in Liuzhou, so why did the young lady have the idea of ​​letting the Gu family move to the capital to live permanently?

"Miss, has the master agreed?" Although she was confused, her eyes were still shining.

Gu Xunwei reached out and scratched her nose, then said, "We have to gain a foothold in the capital first, and then we can talk to our parents about this."

"Oh, okay, I understand." After Chenxiang finished speaking, the carriage became quiet, with only the rumbling sound of the carriage outside constantly hitting the eardrums of the two.

When they were almost at noon, there happened to be a post station next to the official road. They had had lunch here when they went there, and they planned to do the same today.

But when the coachman was about to drive the carriage to the post station, he discovered something was wrong.

There were already quite a few people gathered outside the post station. They were all people who had been driven out of the post station. Some of their luggage had been thrown out roughly. They were picking up items on the ground while cursing.

The entire post station has been surrounded by a team of guards. Except for the front door and the back door, even the windows are guarded by people.

"Who are you and why are you treating us like this? It's time for dinner. Where else can we go if not at the post station?" someone shouted indignantly.

A leader-like man put his hand on the hilt of his sword and glanced at the man sharply. Then he spoke in a cold tone,

"I'm sorry, everyone. We are trying to catch a fugitive. If we don't find him after we search the post station, we will leave immediately."

Gu Xunwei's eyes narrowed slightly. In her previous life, she was very sad because of Xie Cheng'an's cold attitude towards her. When she went back to her parents' home, he found excuses not to go, which made her even more angry. So she stayed in the Gu Mansion for three days before returning to the capital with several carriages of dowry.

Naturally, she had not encountered this incident, but after she returned to the capital, she heard about a major event, which must be related to this incident.

The newly appointed Suzhou governor, Jian Liangce, was corrupt and embezzled money, which aroused public anger. More than a dozen common people went to the capital to file a complaint, but were all brutally murdered on the outskirts of the capital.

The person who killed them was also captured by the Third Prince, Prince An's men. It was none other than Sang Mo, the Crown Prince's guard leader.

This incident was also a fuse, which completely exposed the secret struggle between the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.

Gu Xunwei lifted a corner of the curtain of the sedan chair, looked in the direction of the post station, and then looked at the leader who had just spoken. On the badge worn around her waist, there was a word "An".

These guards are the Third Prince's men, so the person they are looking for might be the Crown Prince's men.

Thinking about the open and covert struggles between the two of them later, and how Xie Cheng'an finally chose to stand on the side of the Third Prince, and how the Gu family did not choose to help the Third Prince, which eventually led to the extermination of the entire family, Gu Xunwei narrowed her beautiful phoenix eyes.

Then, she and Chenxiang got off the carriage. Since everyone's attention was on the team of guards, no one paid attention to Gu Xunwei.

A hint of bloody smell came over, and her keen sense of smell since childhood played a huge role at this time. Her eyes followed the smell of blood and turned to the stable at the door of the post station.

There were bundles of hay stacked against the wall. I guess after the guards finished searching the inside of the inn, they would go check there.

"Uncle Li, take the horse to the stable over there to feed it some grass. We will wait here for a while." Gu Xunwei instructed the groom, and then stood behind the crowd, looking at the guards calmly.

Soon, the guards' voices of rebuke came from the stables, "What are you doing? Didn't they say you can't come in?"

The groom hurriedly and carefully explained, "The horse has walked a long way and is tired and hungry, so I came here to let it eat a few bites before leaving."

"No, no, hurry up, hurry up." The guard showed no mercy and was about to kick the groom.

"My dear brother, we have been traveling for a whole day. Please give us a favor." Chenxiang said with a smile as he stuffed a silver note into his hand.

The guard looked back at the stable, which already had two horses and a carriage. He didn't mind having an extra carriage, so he nodded and whispered, "Hurry up."
