Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Gu Qiongsi listened to Xie Chengan's words and nodded repeatedly, helping to comfort Qian, "Mother, Sanlang is right. After this most difficult time, everything will be fine later."

Qian just rolled her eyes to indicate that she already knew, but she just couldn't believe their words of comfort.

Come to think of it, life has been so difficult for the Xie family only in the past month or so.

In the past, although we didn’t have so much money, we had enough food and clothing. How could we be so strapped for money as we are now?

Speaking of which, it seemed that everything started when Gu Xunwei walked in.

But what could they say? After all, Gu Xunwei also wanted the Xie family to be good, so she spent a lot of money to help the Xie family find this house. Moreover, this house was originally decided by Qian and Mr. Xie after they looked at it together.

After a few people said a few words of comfort to Qian, Gu Qiongsi took Chunxiu back to Xiangsiyuan.

"Aunt... Aunt, I, your servant..." Chunxiu nodded for a long time without saying anything. She lowered her head and knelt in front of Gu Qiongsi.

Gu Qiongsi couldn't help but frown. She had grown up with Chunxiu since she was a child, so she naturally knew her best. She must have something difficult to say to her now. "Okay, stand up and speak properly."

Chunxiu didn't dare to stand up, but continued to kneel, "Aunt, my mother sent a message to me. My brother broke his waist when he was transporting goods a few days ago. He probably won't be able to stand up again in the rest of his life. Due to the heavy rain for several days, the message took more than half a month to arrive. I see that the rain has subsided a little, so I want to go back to Liuzhou to see my brother. I hope you can give me your permission."

Gu Qiongsi knew that Chunxiu must have encountered trouble, but he didn't expect it to be this. But then he thought about it, she only knew himself in the capital, so something must have happened at home in Liuzhou.

Besides, mother and brother are Chunxiu's only two relatives in this world.

Unfortunately, her mother was a son-in-law. In order to make her son's life better, she sold Chunxiu to her home as a slave when she was very young, and gave all her monthly salary to her mother without leaving a single cent.

"The rain has just subsided a little and hasn't stopped yet. The road is muddy and difficult to walk on. Don't worry. Why don't you go back in two days? I will feel more at ease on the road." Gu Qiong thought for a while and said.

If it were normal times, with Dingxiang here, Chunxiu would just leave. But now that I need Chunxiu, I can't let Dingxiang interfere in those matters. How could I let her leave?

"In a few days, I will have more money on hand. You can't go back to Liuzhou empty-handed, right?"

Chunxiu listened to Gu Qiongsi's words and looked up at her. When she saw her sincerity, she could only say, "Okay, I will listen to you, Auntie."

Look, this is also the reason why Gu Qiongsi likes to let Chunxiu do everything, and she believes in what he says unconditionally.

The next day, Gu Qiongsi and Chunxiu packed up early in the morning. When they were about to go out, they found that the rain, which had not fallen much yesterday, had started to rain heavily again this morning.

Although it has not yet become a rainstorm, it is definitely not conducive to travel.

So they had to wait until the rain stopped, and it was almost past noon before they hurriedly left Xie's house.

According to their plan, Gu Qiongsi gave the written letter to a little beggar she found on the road and asked him to give it to the gatekeeper of Prince An's Mansion, saying only that it was for Prince An.

Normally, the doorman would never dare to discard letters like this, because they don't know what information is contained in the letter. If it is something important, no one would dare to take responsibility.

Therefore, it will definitely be handed over to His Royal Highness Prince An as soon as possible, so it is possible that I will be summoned by Prince An today.

However, after the little beggar they arranged successfully handed the envelope to the doorman, there was no movement for a long time. The two waited in Louwailou for an entire afternoon and half a night, but no one from His Royal Highness Prince An came to find them.

Gu Qiongsi didn't know what went wrong, so he had to take Chunxiu back to Xie's house in disappointment.

In Prince An's mansion, the doorman did hand it to the butler immediately, but the butler took the letter but could not find an opportunity to enter the hall and hand it to His Highness Prince An.

Li Junze was currently discussing important matters with a few diners in the hall, so he naturally did not dare to disturb them, and the discussion lasted until midnight.

Since he has already arranged people to go to Xiangyang City, they need to discuss in advance the promotion of subsequent events and the creation of some public opinions.

After all matters had been concluded and the work of the relevant personnel had been arranged, Li Junze dismissed everyone. It was already quarter past three in the evening, and the rain outside was getting heavier.

"Well, it's raining so heavily in the capital, so I guess it shouldn't be much lighter in Xiangyang City. Their operation should be smooth, right?" Li Junze was thinking this when he heard the butler asking for a meeting outside the door.

"Come in, what's the matter?" Li Junze asked tiredly.

"Your Highness Prince An, this afternoon, a little beggar passed a letter to the doorman, saying that he wanted to give it to you. Look at this..." As the butler spoke, he placed the letter in front of Li Junze with both hands.

"Beggar?" Li Junze was a little surprised. Could a little beggar enter the gatehouse of Prince An's Mansion?

Although he was confused, he still picked up the ordinary letter. On it were a few words written in ugly handwriting: "Personally from His Royal Highness Prince An", and nothing else.

So Li Junze casually tore open the envelope, took out the two thin pages of paper inside, and unfolded them to read.

As a result, the more he looked at him, the tighter his brows furrowed. "Someone is waiting for me in Louwailou to discuss how to deal with Hu Er's matter. Why did you give me the letter now?"

Seeing that Li Junze's tone was a little angry, the butler knelt down quickly and explained, "I saw that His Royal Highness Prince An was discussing matters, so I didn't dare to disturb him. Please forgive me, Your Royal Highness Prince An."

"Get up, get up. Arrange two people to go to the private room outside the building to see if the person is still there. If he is, bring him back. If he is not, leave a message for the waiter." Li Junze said, and whispered a few words in the housekeeper's ear.

The butler nodded repeatedly, then hurried out to make arrangements. How could he dare to delegate tasks to others, so he personally took two guards and went to Louwailou in the rain.

However, they went too late after all. Gu Qiongsi had been gone for more than half an hour, and there was no sign of him anywhere.
