Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

The book was yellowish to begin with, and after Yan Nanguiyi's explanation, Deputy General Niu immediately understood, "The book that you have been looking for for many years is actually here with Master Gu."

Gu Ziyu smiled and explained, "This is a token of my gratitude. I want to thank Lord Yan for taking the time out of his busy schedule to come and handle this kind of family affairs. The mansion has prepared some wine. Lord Yan, please give me a chance to express my gratitude."

Yan Nangui turned his eyes away from the book and looked at Gu Ziyu and Su who were smiling. He cupped his hands and said, "Master Gu, there is no need to be so polite. I accept the gift from Madam Xie. Now I owe Madam Xie a favor. If you need me for anything else in the future, I will spare no effort."

"Also, regarding this matter, the Second Master Gu family will definitely not come out easily, so please rest assured, Master Gu."

After saying this, without giving Gu Ziyu and his wife a chance to react, he waved his hand and left the Gu Mansion with a group of deputy generals and guards.

Gu Ziyu watched them leave, then turned back and said to the housekeeper, "Go to Ziheng's house and control all the servants. No one is allowed to leave Liuzhou in the next half month."

"Yes." The butler trotted away with a few servants.

"Weier is really amazing. She was able to find out that Lord Yan is a detective fan, so he could give us such a thoughtful gift. As a result, Lord Yan helped us deal with the matter and even owed us a favor." Su said proudly.

Gu Ziyu disagreed. He shook his head and said, "It's not that Wei'er is amazing. It must be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told her. Such secret information would not be known by ordinary people."

"Oh, that's right," Su nodded. Her husband was smart. After being happy for a while, she started to worry again.

"I don't know whether it's a good thing for Wei'er to rely on the Crown Prince. I don't want her to suffer any more in order to avenge Xie Cheng'an and Gu Qiongsi."

"Madam," Gu Ziyu sighed, and then looked at his wife's worried expression, and said with emotion, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is orthodox and does things openly and honestly. He is our best choice at the moment. Don't worry. I'm going to the incense making room."

Then he left in a hurry, determined to win the six-month agreement between him and his daughter.

Su shook her head. How could she be so careless? Her own brother had just poisoned her, yet she could just continue making incense as if nothing had happened...

Although Liuzhou and the capital are not far apart, Gu Qiongsi certainly didn't know what was going on in Gu Ziheng's family because no one informed her. She was still eagerly waiting for her mother to send her a banknote.

Xie Cheng'an felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the more than one hundred taels of silver that Shuangrui got after selling those jewelry. When Gu Xunwei was in the Gu Mansion, any set of jewelry would cost this much, but now there are only a few jewelry of this quality left. After all, she was completely emptied out after she followed him.

"Si'er, we already have 180 taels. If you can borrow another 300 taels from Mr. Nanshan, we can start working on it. We won't have to worry about your mother's banknotes."

Xie Cheng'an saw that Qiong Si was waiting for the banknotes from her mother but couldn't get them. She seemed a little upset and two big blisters appeared at the corners of her mouth. Then he spoke to comfort her.

"Well, I have contacted a way to buy spices. Chunxiu and I will go out to see Mr. Nanshan in a while. There should be no problem with him, but..." Gu Qiongsi hesitated for a moment, and then asked Xie Chengan, "But, I wonder if Sanlang has written any good poems these days?"

When Xie Cheng'an heard this, he immediately understood Gu Qiongsi's intention. She wanted to use poetry to get Mr. Nanshan to agree to lend him money. So without thinking, he turned to the desk and handed the three poems he had written in the past few days to Gu Qiongsi.

"The world is like an unsettled chess game, where will life lead us home? I wish to leave behind all the fatigue of this world, and let the bright moon and fresh breeze let me run wild..." Gu Qiongsi couldn't help but recite it softly, with many emotions in his heart.

Last time, in order to help Xie Chengan turn the situation around, I went too far and threw away all the good poems I could remember, resulting in me no longer having any good poems to show off.

"Sanlang is indeed a top scholar. Reading poems like this can make people feel the heroic spirit in Sanlang's heart." Gu Qiongsi immediately praised him. Although it was not as catchy and profound as those famous lines, it was still much better than those he had made up.

So she did not delay any longer, put the three poems in her arms, and brought Chunxiu to the gate of Nanshan Academy.

"Please help pass on the message that Qingzhu wants to see Mr. Nanshan for something." Chunxiu stuffed a piece of silver into the doorman's hand and asked him.

The concierge was also a young man who looked like a scholar. After accepting the money, he glanced at Gu Qiongsi, who was dressed as a man behind her, and then said respectfully, "Please wait a moment. I will go and report to the gentleman."

After saying that, he walked in. About a cup of tea later, the man came back slowly and said with an unhappy look, "The teacher said that it is now the time for Nanshan Academy to teach. Please go back first and come back later after the get out of class."

Gu Qiongsi understood that this was Mr. Nanshan's excuse. It seemed that he wanted to test his sincerity.

It is now the end of the afternoon, and he actually said it was too early. If it were any later, it would be dark, and by then, Mr. Nanshan would definitely not let him go easily.

However, Gu Qiongsi figured it out sooner or later. This wasn't the first time, and she still had to lend him money, so she made up her mind, and the two of them arrived at the gate of the academy at 1:00 p.m.

This time, the doorman did not stop them and took them directly through the front yard to the hall where Nanshan Academy usually received guests.

"The master said to let Mr. Qingzhu go in alone, and the others should wait in the front yard." The man said to Gu Qiongsi.

"Okay, I understand." Gu Qiongsi turned to Chunxiu and said, "Chunxiu, just follow this elder brother to the front yard and wait for a while."

Then he adjusted his breathing, pushed the door and walked into the reception room.

However, when she looked inside, she found that there was no one inside, and there was no one beside the table. Just as she was puzzled, someone suddenly hugged her from behind, and she heard him call out, "My dear, why did you come just now? I can't wait any longer."

Gu Qiongsi turned around, and the face full of ravines was very close to her. The old man smell on him almost made her vomit, but she quickly adjusted her mood and said in a delicate voice, "Sir, isn't Si'er here to see you?"
