Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

There was still a dim light in the main house, but it was quiet.

Xie Chengan finally left, and Gu Xunwei stopped putting on her makeup halfway through.

"Haha, I really didn't expect that after doing such a thing to us, you still have the nerve to come here, bah..." Bai Zhi walked into the room, complaining angrily.

Yes, Xie Chengan hurt himself so badly in the previous life, did he ever feel a bit of guilt?

He even knew that he had died without ever getting a single glance from him, let alone the slightest bit of concern from him.

In this life, it was really unexpected that this heartless person would feel guilty and come to visit me in the middle of the night.

You can't blame them for putting on makeup on the spur of the moment, who could have thought he would act like this.

"There is nothing that the Xie family can't do. Don't be too surprised. Have a good rest tonight. There will be a big show tomorrow."

Gu Xunwei smiled and comforted the two.

Chenxiang had to wash off her makeup again, "Young Madam, do you really not need Chief Sang's help tomorrow?"

Bai Zhi also asked, "Yes, Madam, Chief Sang has said it no less than three times that he can come and help anytime tomorrow."

"Don't be nervous, you two. There won't be a fight tomorrow. What is Chief Sang going to do here? It's not convenient for him to show up."

Gu Xunwei explained to the two of them with a smile, knowing that they were also worried about her safety.

"Well, well, if there are only a few of them, I can handle them alone." Bai Zhi waved her fist and said confidently.

When the two maids had packed up and were about to leave, Gu Xunwei suddenly had an idea, and the account book on the table fell to the ground with a "clatter".

Chenxiang immediately turned around, walked over and was about to pick up the account book on the ground, but Gu Xunwei grabbed his hand.

Gu Xunwei suddenly said excitedly, "I remember now, I finally remembered, Baizhi, hurry up and tell Manager Li not to come in the morning, but in the evening, around the evening time."

"We have another good show to watch."

The two looked at each other, Bai Zhi agreed, and disappeared into Xunxiangyuan in the night.

Night had fallen, and the entire Xie Mansion gradually quieted down. Gu Qiongsi looked at Chunxiu who was kneeling in front of him, with deep impatience in his eyes.

"Auntie, please let me go back to Liuzhou. The rain has stopped for several days. If I don't go back, I'm afraid my mother will beat me to death."

Chunxiu kowtowed to Gu Qiongsi several times before she spoke while crying.

It was still about what we talked about last time, going back to Liuzhou to visit her brother. Naturally, Gu Qiongsi couldn’t refuse to let her go again.

"Okay, okay, go back if you want. But you saw what I told you to bring back some silver last time, and I can't give you much silver now."

Gu Qiongsi knew that Chunxiu had been following him, and she must know how much silver he had in his hands, so he had to take out five taels of silver from the box as a token of his appreciation.

"I also know how your mother treats you. You can use these to buy some things for them and take them back."

They are master and servant, and Chunxiu is the one who knows all of her cards, but fortunately, she is a tight-lipped person and keeps everything to herself.

Chunxiu was naturally grateful. She had only saved up a little over three taels of her monthly salary after so long, but her aunt gave her five taels at once.

"Thank you, Auntie. Thank you, Auntie. I will be back in three days at most. If my brother has nothing to do, I will be back in two days."

Chunxiu told Gu Qiongsi about her plan and thanked her profusely before returning to her residence to pack her things, ready to set out before dawn the next day.

Gu Qiongsi rolled her eyes. If she had a mother and brother like that, she would have cut off relations with them long ago. It was a pity that Chunxiu was still thinking about them all day long.

Nothing happened that night, and soon it was the afternoon of the next day. Gu Qiongsi did not bring anyone with her this time. She asked Dingxiang to take care of Xie Rui in Xiangsiyuan, and went out alone to prepare for the appointment with Mr. Nanshan.

However, before she reached the hanging flower gate, she was stopped by Li Ma again, "Aunt Gu, the Madam wants to see you."

Gu Qiongsi wanted to curse, but fortunately she held it back. She looked at the time and thought that they should still be in time, so she followed Nanny Li to Rongdeyuan.

"Greetings, mother." Seeing that Qian was well again and was trimming a pot of crabapples in the yard, Gu Qiongsi quickly walked up to her and saluted.

"Mrs. Gu is so arrogant. If I hadn't specifically invited her, I wouldn't have been able to see her for several days." Qian said in a sarcastic tone.

"Mother, what are you talking about? I have been busy raising money these past two days, so I have not been able to come and greet you. I hope you can forgive me."

Gu Qiongsi immediately softened his tone and spoke apologetically.

"Raising money? I wonder how much money Aunt Gu has raised despite being so busy?"

"It's probably less than five hundred taels. I'm just about to go out and get the banknotes." Gu Qiongsi explained hurriedly.

Five hundred taels? Qian's eyes widened. She had never thought that Gu Qiongsi, a concubine with no relatives or friends in the capital, could raise so much money in such a short time.

At first, she was surprised, but then Qian began to feel that something was wrong. How could a normal woman do such a thing? Could it be that she got it through an abnormal channel?

Just as she was about to ask again, Gu Qiongsi lost her temper and apologized, "Mother, I have to go out now, otherwise I will miss the appointment time and I'm afraid people will be unhappy."

After hearing this, Qian knew that this matter was of great importance, so she had to make concessions and said lightly, "Since it's an appointment, then you can go. But you have to give Gu's incense recipe to me for safekeeping first."

Gu Qiongsi knew what the other party was planning, and had guessed in advance that Qian would do this, so without any hesitation he took out a few pages of paper from his arms and handed them to Qian with both hands respectfully.

"I was going to give it to you, mother, but you were not feeling well a few days ago, so I didn't dare to disturb you. Please forgive me."

Nanny Li took the few pages of paper from Gu Qiongsi and handed them to Qian.

"Well, go ahead, and be careful on the road." Qian said lightly.

Gu Qiongsi concealed the deep disgust in his eyes, bowed, and then quickly left Rongdeyuan.

Qian took the incense recipe in her hand, without even glancing at it, and said to Madam Li, "Madam, hurry up, take a little girl with you and follow them. We need to see where Gu Qiongsi borrowed so much money from."

"Yes, you also need to show me how she borrowed the money. I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter."
