Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 82: Stealing Fragrance

After hearing this, Xie Cheng'an felt a little unhappy, but he did not show it. He could no longer keep up with Gu Qiongsi's methods and abilities.

He could only nod and said, "Tonight, I will let Shuangrui knock Chenxiang and Baizhi unconscious and find a way to get those two items out."

"Well, send it directly to Xiangsiyuan. Si'er has a way to find the location of the recipe." Gu Qiongsi patted the back of Xie Cheng'an's hand, didn't want to say anything more, turned around and walked out the door.

Xie Chengan asked awkwardly, "Do you have any remaining banknotes? I'll ask Shuangrui to get some drugs."

Yes, he gave all the money he could currently gather to Gu Qiongsi, and now his pockets are cleaner than his face.

Gu Qiongsi turned around, and a hint of impatience flashed across her eyes. Xie Chengan just lowered his head and felt embarrassed, so he didn't notice it.

"Chun Xiu, give the remaining money to the young master." Before she finished her words, she had already walked out of the study.

After some adjustments, Xie Cheng'an arranged for Shuangrui to go out to purchase drugs, while he went to Rongdeyuan.

Qian's condition had improved slightly today, and her spirit and energy seemed to have improved. When Xie Cheng'an went in, he happened to see Qian scolding Xie Chengyu.

He is already in high spirits and is ready to teach me a lesson, so it seems that there is nothing serious going on.

When Xie Chengan walked in, Qian was the first to notice him. She lay on the bed and waved to Xie Chengan to sit beside her bed. Then she said,

"Ang'er, look at your elder sister. She promised us that she would pawn her old house and cloth shop. We are all acquaintances, so we can give her more time. But now, she comes to my bedside every day to ask for money."

Xie Chengyu said in a very awkward manner, "Brother An, you know that pawnshops have their own rules. He is just a shopkeeper, how can he make the decision? He just felt that he was one of us, so he asked me to come and urge him, so as not to make things difficult for him."

"Difficult to do? Now that you know it's difficult, why did you make such a promise in the first place?" Qian became more and more angry as she spoke, but she also knew that scolding Xie Chengyu now would be of no use at all.

Xie Chengan patted Qian's arm soothingly, and then asked Xie Chengyu, "Sister, what did Shopkeeper Yu say? How long can we extend the grace period?"

"At most... at most we can wait another three days." Although Xie Chengyu was embarrassed to say it, he still told the truth.

The key point is that she is now certain in her heart that the Xie family definitely does not have the money to redeem the cloth shop and the old house.

All she had to do was to urge them to do their job, and to say everything she should do and say. Then, if the old house and the cloth shop really became pawnshops, her mother and the others would not be able to blame her.

Over there, Manager Yu and his pawnshop will surely make a fortune, and their own benefits will certainly be inevitable.

These are secondary. The most important thing is that with these benefits, my life in my husband's family will be better.

There was no way out. Ever since what happened at the last housewarming party, her husband's family had completely relegated her to the mud. They wouldn't even look at her at home. She felt very uncomfortable.

"Three days?" Xie Cheng'an repeated, "Sister, aren't you familiar with Shopkeeper Yu? Talk to him and ask for five days. If you still can't redeem it after five days, then it will be a death pawn."

Xie Chengyu wanted to hear such words. She looked at Qian and asked carefully, "Mother, is it... is it possible? If it is possible, I will go and discuss it with Shopkeeper Yu now."

Qian glared at Xie Chengyu fiercely. She knew in her heart that the pawnshop would not give them an indefinite extension, even if she knew the owner. However, she pursed her lips and refused to answer her questions.

Xie Chengan finally couldn't bear it anymore and nodded to Xie Chengyu.

When Xie Chengyu saw it, he immediately said, "Okay, Brother An, I'll go find Shopkeeper Yu right away."

After saying that, she trotted away immediately. Qian was getting more and more annoyed with her and would take every opportunity to scold her. She had stayed here for a whole night and had never let go of the worry.

After seeing Xie Chengyu leave, Qian asked Xie Chengan, "Brother An, do you have any way to raise so much money?"

"We can only try our best. If it really doesn't work, we can only give up the old house and the two cloth shops." Xie Cheng'an sighed. Naturally, he had no confidence.

Unless, he could sell one of Gu Xunwei's incense shops to raise money.

However, if you are in such a hurry to sell the incense shop, the price will definitely not be high. If that happens, it will really be a waste of time.

"I'll go talk to Si'er later to see if there are any other solutions." Xie Cheng'an couldn't bear to see Qian's worried look, and was afraid that she would be so worried that it would be detrimental to her recovery, so he had to comfort her with words.

"Si'er? Gu Qiongsi, she is just an aunt, what can she do? Your father has gone out to smoke the wrong cigarettes. He said he would see his old friends to see if he could borrow some. Sigh... Your father has been strong all his life, he has never done such a thing. Just thinking about it makes me feel very uncomfortable..."

The more Qian spoke, the sadder her tone became, and by the end she was already crying.

Xie Chengan had no choice but to comfort her again, and finally told her what they were going to do, "Let's find a way to get Gu Xunwei's incense recipe today. Will we still worry about not being able to get the money by then?"

"Incense recipe? Yes, look at me, I was so anxious that I even forgot about this matter. Counting the days, is Gu Xunwei unable to get out of bed now?" When Qian heard about the incense recipe, she immediately became alert and held Xie Chengan's hand tightly.

"Yes, we went to see her last night, and the condition was indeed not good." Xie Cheng'an nodded, thinking of Gu Xunwei lying sick in bed, he did not feel a trace of guilt in his heart. He just cursed her to die soon so that he could reverse his current decline.

"That's good, that's good, just go ahead and do it. If there is any problem at that time, mother will definitely be able to resist the Gu family." Qian felt that her body was full of strength at this moment, and she struggled to sit up.

Nanny Li hurriedly stopped her, "Madam, the doctor said that it's best for you to stay in bed for the next two days and not worry about anything. After you finish taking the medicine in the next few days, you will be completely cured."

After hearing this, Qian had no choice but to lie down again, sighed and said, "Okay, I have to get better quickly, there are still many things I need to deal with."

Seeing that she was no longer sighing in disappointment like before, Xie Cheng'an said a few more words and then asked Qian to have a good rest while he went to the study to continue thinking about the poem he had just written.
