Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Gu Xunwei turned around and said with a smile, "Mother may not have understood what I said. I just said it, but I really can't think of anything else."

Her smile and words made Qian realize that it was really inappropriate for her to yell at her daughter-in-law. She took two deep breaths to suppress her anger and then said,

"I will discuss this with your father. Please wait a moment before replying to the seller." After saying this, Qian asked Nanny Li to support her and went back to the house.

Suddenly she turned back, stared at Bai Zhi behind Gu Xunwei and asked, "What is this?"

Gu Xunwei lowered her head and leaned forward, then replied, "Mother, this is the girl my mother sent to me to help me take care of my dowry."

Qian stared at Bai Zhi with displeasure for a few more seconds, then turned around and went back to the house.

Gu Xunwei took Chenxiang and Baizhi and turned back to her own east wing.

If Qian didn't want to use her own money to make up the difference of six hundred taels, she could only sell her land and shops, as well as the small courtyard where the Xie family lived.

After dinner in the evening, Bai Zhi came back from the Chuihua Gate and whispered to Gu Xunwei, "Madam, the master went to a courtyard in the west of the city. There lived a pregnant woman and an old maid in the courtyard."

West of the city? Gu Xunwei narrowed her eyes. She didn't expect that Zhu Dacai would find Gu Qiongsi's residence after following her for a whole day.

She thought it would take a lot of effort to find Gu Qiongsi, but she didn't expect to find him so easily. It was really a piece of cake.

Didn't this couple want to be together in their last life? This time, she would help them to be together sooner.

While she was still thinking about how to better expose their affair, Qian asked Nanny Li to ask her to go to the main house to reply.

Gu Xunwei knew that Qian had already raised the money, so she happily followed Nanny Li.

"Here are six hundred taels of silver notes. Take them and decide on that house as soon as possible, before anything else happens." Qian said in a cold voice, covering her chest with her hand.

"Yes, your daughter-in-law will ask the housekeeper to write you an IOU. When there is money in the company account in the future, I will pay it back to you. It would not sound good if it gets out that you are using your daughter-in-law's dowry, and it is not glorious to use your mother's own money." Gu Xunwei took the banknote with both hands and said considerately.

When Qian heard her say this, she didn't think much about it and was even a little happy in her heart. The money would be back in her hands in the future, which made her feel much better.

Gu Xunwei asked Ding Xiang to find the seller overnight and finalize the transfer time for the next day.

Having settled on this house, she has taken the first step in her plan. She should be able to sleep well tonight.

Unfortunately, her good sleep was still disturbed. When she was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, she felt a very slight sound coming from the window of the room. Then she opened her eyes alertly, and her hand had reached under the pillow and grasped the scissors that had been placed there.

However, after she waited for a while, there was no other movement in the room. She frowned in confusion, and with the dim moonlight outside the window, she could see clearly that a man in black was standing quietly in front of the window in the room.

She took a deep breath, less panicked, and went to the table to light the candle.

"Madam Xie, don't panic. My name is Sang Mo. I'm the person you saved at the post station during the day. I came here tonight to thank you for saving my life." The man lowered his voice and spoke cautiously.

Gu Xunwei had naturally guessed it, but she didn't expect this person to run into her room in the middle of the night. She must have knocked Bai Zhi, who was on duty outside, down by him.

"It's just a small favor, don't mind it. Besides, Mr. Sang was able to escape by seizing the opportunity on his own." Gu Xunwei said in a calm tone, and then looked at the person in front of her.

Sang Mo was obviously a little embarrassed under Gu Xunwei's probing gaze. He held a book in both hands and handed it to Gu Xunwei, lowering his head and saying, "Well, in order to repay Madam for saving my life, I will give you this incense recipe that I accidentally found. Goodbye."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Xunwei to speak, he put the book down and tried to climb out of the window again.

"Please wait a moment." Gu Xunwei spoke out in time and called out to Sang Mo, who had already stepped one leg out of the window.

"I have a letter here that Mr. Sang needs to pass on to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Xunwei put down the scissors in her hand, took out a letter that had already been written from under the pillow, and placed it on the table.

Sang Mo was shocked. He had never mentioned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before. How did she know that he was working for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Did she already know her true identity when she saved me?

This is too unbelievable.

But he came back again, picked up the envelope on the table, clasped his fists, and left quickly.

Gu Xunwei's eyes fell on the books on the table. Before she could take a closer look, Bai Zhi, who was on duty at night, had already woken up. She heard the noise and walked in sleepily and asked, "Madam, are you having a nightmare?"

"No, I'm just thirsty. Drink some water and then go to sleep. You go and rest." Gu Xunwei felt a little relieved, but still didn't say much to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi poured her a cup of hot water and handed it to her before leaving.

She calmed herself down and found nothing else unusual before she picked up the book again and opened it to check.

But after just two glances, his eyes were filled with surprise. This... this turned out to be a book about incense making and preparation methods, which complemented the Gu family's incense recipes.

With the methods in this book, she can really develop some better spices.

She quickly flipped through the recipe book, then carefully put it under her pillow and blew out the candle.

It seems that Sang Mo, or his master, wanted to repay me, so after investigation, he found that he had two incense shops and gave me this book.

While Gu Xunwei was unable to fall asleep due to all sorts of random thoughts, Sang Mo, who was climbing the wall in the dark, seemed to have fulfilled a wish and was in high spirits.

The prince never said how to repay Madam Xie for saving his life, and he could not remind her again, so he had no choice but to search his own storehouse. Finally, he found the incense recipe among a pile of items left by the deceased old grandfather.

He remembered that Madam Xie, whom he had inquired about during the day, seemed to have opened two incense shops in Beijing, so he decided to give her the incense recipe.

It is said that businessmen value profit. Mrs. Xie's family has been doing business for generations, and her father has told her that the recipe is very precious. Thinking about it this way, her decision is really a good one.
