Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Gu Xunwei nodded to Lian Jue, then bowed to Lian Hai and said, "Gu Xunwei of the Gu family, greetings to the head of the Lian family."

Lian Hai was very surprised. He never thought that after his family committed such a crime, the daughter of the Gu family would come to the prison to see him.

"What's the matter with you coming here? My Lian family is in this situation now. We don't need anyone coming to watch the fun." Lian Hai said coldly.

"Master Lian has misunderstood. You and I are both people who make and love incense. Seeing the Lian family like this, Gu Xunwei feels the same way. That's why I came here specially to say goodbye."

Gu Xunwei explained, and Lian Jue also helped to speak up, "Yes, father, Sister Gu is not that kind of person. She must have heard that something happened to us, so she came here specially."

Lian Hai glared at Lian Jue fiercely, his eyes telling him to shut up. Lian Jue was so scared that he had to take a step back, not daring to say anything.

Gu Xunwei also looked at Lian Jue comfortingly, and then continued, "Before Gu Xunwei got married, my father often talked about the head of the Lian family. He is the leader of several major incense-making families and a role model for our generation. I heard that the Lian family will leave for the exile place tomorrow, so I came here to see them off."

Gu Xunwei stated her purpose. No matter whether the other party believed it or not, she really thought so.

She knew that this was already the best outcome, and it was also the choice that the head of the Lian family had been planning for a long time, but they would definitely suffer a lot in the place of exile.

After she finished speaking, Bai Zhi had already put a bundle into their cell. It did not contain any silver or banknotes, but two sets of cloth shoes and cotton-padded clothes.

"Here is a letter that my father wrote to an old friend. If the head of the Lian family needs any help, just take the letter and go to him. He will definitely help you to the best of his ability."

After Gu Xunwei finished speaking, she turned around and left with her two maids without waiting for them to say anything else.

At this time, Lian Hai called her, "Gu girl, what do you want? My Lian family's incense recipe?"

Gu Xunwei turned around and gave him a brilliant smile, "Master Lian, you are overthinking. Gu Xunwei has always felt that the Gu family's incense recipe is the best in the world."

After she finished speaking, she bowed again and left without looking back.

Lian Jue hurried forward and opened the bundle that Bai Zhi had placed on the ground. There really was a letter inside. "Dad, look, Sister Gu really came to say goodbye to us."

"Humph, what do you know as a little kid? Her father is an old fox. Seeing her today, she must be a little fox too."

Lian Hai couldn't understand Gu Xunwei's real intention, but alarm bells were ringing in his heart. The other party must have some plan.

Lian Jue, however, did not listen to his father's words at all. He put the envelope aside, picked up the cloth shoes, turned them over and over, liked them very much, and even picked them up and put them on his feet to feel them, "Well, Dad, these shoes are very comfortable."

Lian Hai patted his son again, and then said, "We must be careful in what we say and do when we go to the border town. Jue'er, you must not act like you did before. Do you understand?"

"I know, I know. Dad, you've said it eight hundred times. My ears are callused." Lian Jue waved his hand, not wanting to listen any more.

Although the shoes on my feet are just ordinary cloth shoes, they are well made and most importantly, they feel very comfortable. I will be walking all the way to the border town, so having a pair of comfortable shoes is extremely important.

Lian Hai knew his son's temper best, so he didn't want to say anything more. He just picked up the letter. When he saw the name on the letter, he was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.

With this letter, life in the border area should not be too difficult for all the people in their family.

"Young Madam, why are you so nice to the Lian family? Is it really because of the eldest young master of the Lian family?" Bai Zhi asked without understanding, and started talking on the way back in the carriage.

"Master Lian is a smart man. They must have been coerced by Prince An and had to be tied to him and used by him. They must have been prepared for this crime in advance. Maybe there is still a possibility of redress in the future. We are helping them in their time of need, which can be regarded as finding a friend."

Of course, the fact that she also likes the eldest young master of the Lian family is one of the reasons.

"Young Madam, you're saying that this is the result that the head of the Lian family wanted? The whole family is guilty?" Bai Zhi was puzzled and opened her mouth in shock.

Gu Xunwei nodded, "It's better than beheading the whole family. The head of the family is also a ruthless person."

In this regard, Gu Xunwei felt inferior to him. As the saying goes, one has to cut off the tail to survive. Even the head of the family can be said to have cut off an arm to survive.

At the same time, in Prince An’s Mansion, Prince An Li Junze was losing his temper.

It would have been fine if he was under house arrest, but the bunch of guests he kept chose to leave one after another at this time. There were only less than fifty people left out of the original 200. How could he turn the situation around without people?

"Damn it! When I turn the situation around, I will cut those leaders into pieces." Li Junze shouted at the butler in frustration.

The butler was already trembling with fear, not knowing whether he should say the rest of the words.

With a "bang", a set of high-quality Jun kiln tea cups shattered and cracked at the housekeeper's feet.

All the maids and servants in the hall were so frightened that they fell to their knees. The housekeeper did the same, but seeing how angry their master was, they didn't have the courage to say anything more.

"Go and call the remaining people to the hall. I want to discuss matters with them." Li Junze gave the order, and the butler agreed and trotted away.

Among the remaining guests, there are still three leaders, namely Wen Jiaxiang, Cao Xingwen and Xi Gaoyuan. They always stand firmly by Prince An's side. Even though Prince An is not in power now, it does not affect their loyalty.

At this time, he heard the butler coming over and saying that they needed to go to the hall to discuss matters, so he hurriedly greeted the few remaining people, and soon they all came to the meeting room.

"You may not know yet, but the Empress Dowager's birthday is in two days. I have been pardoned by the Emperor and no longer need to be confined. I called you all here today to ask you, everyone, I have three gifts here, which one is more suitable for the Empress Dowager as a birthday gift."

After Li Junze finished speaking, he waved his hand and several people walked into the hall one after another. Two of them were brought in on trays, and the third was carried up by four people.

Before everyone paid attention to these three items, they were already a little excited. The lifting of Prince An's house arrest, does that mean that the emperor's last punishment has been over? The decree said one year, but it was lifted in just over a month. Doesn't this also mean that the emperor felt that the last punishment was too heavy?

They did not choose to leave. It seemed that their bet was right. His Royal Highness Prince An was indeed the emperor's most beloved son.
