Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"No, no, Your Highness, it cannot be changed." Gu Xunwei had just stood up when she heard Li Junhao's words. She was so scared that she almost knelt down again.

It was not easy for her to get His Highness to agree to be a partner with her, and she needed His Highness's joining to transfer the Gu family's wealth from the open to the dark. At this moment, she absolutely could not let His Highness make concessions.

If possible, she also wanted to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince get more dividends, so that he would be the major shareholder of Wangyu Tower, and she would be a minor shareholder. If she secretly released some news, the dignitaries in the capital would have to take care of the business, not to mention the officials and gentry in other states and counties.

Sang Mo saw the unpredictable expression of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and although he was also very curious, he did not wait for His Royal Highness to give any instructions. He said on His Royal Highness's behalf, "You don't want this, and you don't want that. You have helped His Royal Highness so much, so we should let His Royal Highness show some appreciation."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Junhao, and as expected, he was glared at twice. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not say anything else. Obviously, Sang Mo's words touched his heart, but it was too straightforward and His Royal Highness did not like it.

Gu Xunwei smiled and then slowly said, "My father, Gu Ziyu, is the eighth generation heir of the Gu family's incense recipe."

Her abrupt words made everyone a little confused. They were talking about rewards, but why did she suddenly mention the master of the Gu family?

She continued, "Some time ago, my father suddenly became seriously ill, and my mother sent me a message saying that he seemed to be poisoned, so please arrange for someone to check on the situation."

Li Junhao immediately understood that Gu Xunwei had already known that someone was plotting against her father, so she wanted to use him to get rid of that person.

"Okay, the Dali Temple Shaoqing should be in Liuzhou on business in the next two days, so I will let him stop by."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Gu Xunwei should have knelt down to express her gratitude, but when she remembered that he had just said that kneeling was not necessary, she just bowed.

"Chief Sang, Madam Xie has helped me a lot this time. I would like to reward you with ten thousand taels of gold as a token of my gratitude." Li Junhao looked at Xun Wei and it seemed that she had no other request, so he had to give instructions to Sang Mo.

"Yes." Sang Mo bowed. Gu Xunwei wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Sang Mo with a look. To reject the prince's kindness, to some extent, it was actually disobeying his order.

After Li Junhao left, Gu Xunwei said to Sang Mo with difficulty, "Chief Sang, the gold..."

It's not right. How can they reward her with the gold? It's really not appropriate for her to accept such a reward at this time.

And Your Highness the Crown Prince, how could you just force the reward on someone like that?

Sang Mo said, "Your Highness has already thought about it. The gold is a reward for Wangyu Tower, so it will naturally be sent directly to Wangyu Tower. Madam Xie does not need to worry too much. This gold is just the right amount to support you in opening a branch."

"But, but..." Gu Xunwei still felt that something was not right. She opened Wangyu Tower herself, but not only did she not give His Highness any dividends in the first month, she even made him put in money. She felt a little guilty about it.

"This gold does not belong to your Highness. It is the reward that your Highness requested from the Emperor. Madam Xie, just accept it with peace of mind." After saying this, Sang Mo turned and left. Before leaving, he tapped Bai Zhi on the forehead.

Bai Zhi was so angry that she wanted to jump up and fight, but luckily she quickly remembered that she was no match for the other party, so she just rolled her eyes angrily.

At this time in Acacia Courtyard, Gu Qiongsi finally found a secret compartment on the lid of the box after a long period of groping and searching. After opening the secret compartment, he found several dark yellow papers.

"Yes, this is the Gu family perfume recipe that Gu Xunwei has been hiding. I finally found it." Gu Qiongsi exclaimed excitedly.

Xie Chengan beside him was even more excited than her, "Si'er, that's great, we can finally turn the situation around."

Gu Qiongsi nodded, and then said to Shuangrui, "This box of jewelry should be the only valuable items left by Gu Xunwei. In order to avoid being discovered, you should take it out and sell it. It is safest to exchange it for money."

Shuangrui looked at Xie Chengan and saw that his young master also nodded, so he nodded in agreement and left Xiangsiyuan with the box of jewelry.

"Si'er, what should we do next? Where can we get the initial money?" Xie Cheng'an couldn't wait to hug Gu Qiongsi's waist and asked quickly.

Gu Qiongsi twisted and struggled a little, and then had to continue to be held by Xie Chengan. He said helplessly, "I have roughly calculated that if we can raise 500 taels of silver, the funds for our first batch of raw materials will definitely be enough. I will write a letter to my mother and ask her to help me raise some more silver. In addition,"

She paused, and finally broke free from Xie Cheng'an's arms, then continued, "Sell some of Shuangrui's jewelry, and Si'er will go to see Mr. Nanshan in person. Even if it's for Qingzhu's sake, he should be able to lend us some money. That way, it should be enough."

Xie Cheng'an clapped his hands after hearing this. It turned out to be Si'er. She had almost solved such a tricky problem with just a few words.

However, when he thought of the interactions between Gu Qiongsi and Mr. Nanshan, although he was somewhat reluctant, he had to admit that the relationship between them seemed to be beyond the ordinary friendship between master and apprentice. It was inevitable that he felt a little uneasy besides being happy.

Liuzhou, Gu Mansion.

Gu Ziyu had just come out of the incense-making room, and before he could put down his rolled-up sleeves, his wife Su ran over in a hurry, "Master, hurry up, my second brother and sister-in-law, along with several elders from the clan, are here to see you."

"Oh," Gu Ziyu was surprised after hearing this. Why did they choose this time to come here without even saying hello in advance?

He didn't have time to ask more questions, and ordered the servant beside him, "Hurry up, let them go and make the medicine, and you help me put on some makeup, and the housekeeper will go to the front yard to block it."

After hearing this, everyone started to get busy. Su also took out the powder, rouge and other things she usually used and started to apply them on her husband's face.

Therefore, when Gu Ziheng led everyone into the main hall of the Gu Mansion, he saw Gu Ziyu, who could no longer walk, walking out of the inner room with the help of two servants and sitting on a chair with difficulty.

"Alas, Zi Yu's health is finally failing. I am really sorry for causing you all to worry." Without waiting for everyone to speak, Gu Zi Yu took the lead in weakly clasping his fists to greet everyone.
