Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

In a blink of an eye, it was already the end of the hour of Wei, and Shuangrui had already quietly left Xunxiang Courtyard holding the two things.

Baizhi and Chenxiang, who were lying on the table pretending to sleep, smiled at each other. All their actions were indeed predicted by the young lady.

Chen Xiang hurriedly walked into the inner room, patted Gu Xunwei who was pretending to sleep on the bed, and whispered, "Madam, Shuangrui has left."

Gu Xunwei immediately opened her eyes and lifted the quilt covering her body. She was still holding an account book in her hand and looking at it. "What did you take?"

"In addition to the box and the scroll, they also took away a box of jewelry." Chenxiang's tone was full of contempt. It was really despicable that a top scholar in the imperial examination actually engaged in such sneaky activities.

"That box of jewelry, haha, they would never have thought that those jewelry would be the last money they could get from us in this life." Gu Xunwei smiled bitterly, disdaining to say anything more about them, and ordered, "Go and bring a basin of hot water, and take off all these disguises."

He applied a thick layer on his face to make himself look as sick as Xie Chengan and the others saw, but his face really felt uncomfortable and he couldn't stand it for a while.

Chenxiang agreed and when he turned to go out, he passed Baizhi who had just entered the room.

Chenxiang looked a little unhappy, but he still walked to Gu Xunwei helplessly and whispered a few words to her.

With a "click", the account book in Gu Xunwei's hand fell down. She looked at Bai Zhi in surprise, "Really?"

"Yes," Bai Zhi nodded vigorously twice, and then continued, "I was also surprised. I told them not to come, but Chief Sang didn't listen to me at all."

After hearing what Bai Zhi said, Gu Xunwei was immediately upset. How could Chief Sang listen to Bai Zhi when his master is the Crown Prince?

"Hurry, help me change my clothes and wash up." Gu Xunwei anxiously got down from the bed and walked to the dressing mirror in a few steps. Her current appearance was not suitable for meeting people.

"Young Madam, do you really want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? This is against the rules." Bai Zhi said with a bitter face.

"The prince has condescended to come here, so there is no reason for us not to see him." Gu Xunwei asked Chenxiang to help her clean the disguise on her face, while she had already started to tidy up her messy hair.

Bai Zhi pouted, but finally accepted the matter reluctantly and started to help Gu Xunwei tidy up.

The door of the main house was opened without any warning. The first person to come in was the female guard Ye Ying. She nodded to Gu Xunwei, then stepped aside to make way. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Sang Mo walked in in broad daylight.

"Gu Xunwei pays her respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Xunwei hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Li Junhao.

"Stand up." Li Junhao said lightly, without even pausing, and sat down in the main seat in the room.

The corner of Sang Mo's eyes twitched. His Highness was too calm. This was the first time he entered a girl's room. Would Madam Xie think that her Prince was a repeat offender?

"I believe Madam Xie already knows everything that happened in the past two days?" Li Junhao spoke, his eyes falling inconspicuously on Gu Xunwei's drooping cheek.

"Yes, I've heard about it. Prince An has brought this upon himself. Your Highness the Crown Prince is the one that the people want and the destiny has chosen." Gu Xunwei took the opportunity to flatter the Crown Prince a little.

It was a pity that her flattery not only did not make Li Junhao smile, but he said, "I didn't know that Madam Xie is not only good at making incense, but also so good at flattering."

When Gu Xunwei heard this, she immediately wanted to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, but was stopped by Li Junhao. He continued, "You and I are already allies, so there is no need to be so polite. Just stand up and answer."

Gu Xunwei had no choice but to answer, "Yes, Your Highness, please let me know."

She had mixed feelings at the moment. As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the room today, she noticed something was wrong. In the past, he always used ambergris, which was the favorite of the royal family. But today, the incense used by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was actually the most famous fragrance in Wangyu Tower - the classic Spring Message in the Snow.

Only then did I remember that there seemed to be a large order in the account book given by Manager Bai, which was for this kind of incense. Could it be that the order was purchased by the Eastern Palace?

Just as Gu Xunwei was still guessing secretly, Li Junhao's voice rang out slowly, "How do you want to reconcile with Xie Cheng'an? How can I help you?"

Gu Xunwei raised her head in surprise, "Divorce?"

She quickly reacted and immediately explained to Li Junhao, "Your Highness, I have already made arrangements for this matter, so I won't bother you to do it."

Li Junhao frowned a little, but he quickly adjusted his expression and no one noticed the change in his expression.

However, he was a little confused in his heart. Gu Xunwei helped him so much, and he thought about it for a long time before he felt that she probably wanted to divorce Xie Chengan and was just waiting for an opportunity. He could definitely help her, but when he said it today, he was... rejected.

"So, what do you want?"

Gu Xunwei looked up again and understood. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that she had warned him in advance and helped him to crack Prince An's little tricks in Xiangyang City, so she came to reward him.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your reward. If possible, I would like to open branches of Wangyu Tower in ten of the more affluent counties and prefectures. I hope Your Highness will grant my permission." Gu Xunwei immediately knelt down and said cautiously.

What? Sang Mo saw Li Junhao's frown this time. His master finally had a different expression.

"What kind of reward is this? You are the owner of Wangyu Tower. You can open branches however you want. You don't need to ask for my opinion." Li Junhao adjusted himself for a while before speaking.

After saying that, he began his habitual movements again, slowly turning the ring on his thumb.

Gu Xunwei then said, "Your Highness is also the owner of Wangyu Tower. Naturally, we need to obtain your consent for such a matter. Moreover, Wangyu Tower's income this month is very good. There is no need to invest more money. It is completely enough to open two stores first to test the waters."

Li Junhao nodded. He felt that the direction of things was going to be completely different from what he had expected. He changed his mind and said, "You should get up first. You don't need to kneel down in the future. Since you don't want any other rewards, let's change the share of Wangyu Tower."

He thought, since Gu Xunwei was so fond of Wangyu Tower, he would give Gu Xunwei some concessions so that she could earn more money.
