Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"Husband doesn't agree either?" Gu Xunwei didn't respond to his words at all, but asked in a bad tone.

Xie Cheng'an looked up and met Gu Xunwei's cold eyes. His heart tightened involuntarily, but he could never agree to the conditions she proposed.

"Choose one of the two. My husband, please think about it carefully. When you have made up your mind, please let Lord Yan inform me." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Gu Xunwei turned around and was about to leave.

"No, no, Wei'er, wait," Xie Cheng'an was so scared that he hurriedly called out to Gu Xunwei. His excited struggle pulled the wound on his back. He was grimacing in pain but he didn't care. He just kept asking Gu Xunwei not to leave.

"Do you have any other conditions? I will definitely agree this time, Wei'er." Xie Cheng'an said hopefully when he saw Gu Xunwei turning around.

"You three, mother and son, plus Aunt Gu and Xie Rui, all move to Jianjia Courtyard and open a separate door." Gu Xunwei thought for a while and then said this.

And this is the condition she really wants to propose this time.

Jianjiayuan is located in the northwest corner of the Xie Mansion. It is smaller than the old house of the Xie family. It is a courtyard with a main house and two side rooms. The key is that there is a street behind it and the door can be opened directly. This can be regarded as separating them, so out of sight, out of mind.

Xie Cheng'an was silent. This condition did not seem so unacceptable, but Jianjia Courtyard was so small, how could they live there?

Qian was also thinking in her mind whether to agree to live in Jianjia Courtyard or accept the six hundred taels of silver, but considering the divorce, she still felt that living in Jianjia Courtyard would be better.

After all, although they opened a new door, they were still a family in the end. If there was no divorce, Gu Xunwei would not be able to ignore their lives, and she had to consider her own reputation.

They have nothing now, and Gu Xunwei must take care of them.

After a short silence, Gu Xunwei still didn't wait for their answer, so she let out a long sigh and said, "Don't worry, think about it carefully, and let someone notify me when you've made up your mind."

After saying this, without allowing them to react, he turned around and left with his men.

Qian asked Xie Cheng'an nervously, "Brother An, what do you think? Do you choose the third option?"

Xie Cheng'an didn't say anything. In his heart, he actually wanted to choose the first option. Gu Qiongsi must die, but not now. After they got out, as long as he got in touch with His Royal Highness Prince An, she would no longer be of any use to him.

By that time, her existence would be a stain on herself, and her reputation would also affect Xie Rui's future development, so she would die sooner or later.

But now, she couldn't die.

Xie Cheng'an's silence made Qian feel a little unsure, so she continued, "We can't divorce. If we divorce now, we won't get anything. Such a big house, but they only give us 600 taels. Isn't that a loss?"

Mr. Xie's weak voice rang out from beside Qian, "How foolish! How foolish! How come at this time, you are still thinking about money? You are really hopeless."

Although he was angry, he just complained. Under the current situation, there was no room for them to consider anything. Did they really not agree to anything and have to stay in jail forever?

Therefore, Xie Chengan said, "The current situation does not allow us to think too much. If we want to get out as soon as possible, we must make a choice early. From the perspective of my son, it is better to choose the third one, which is more appropriate."

Qian couldn't help but feel relieved after hearing this. No matter how much Mr. Xie complained now, they, mother and son, had surprisingly similar ideas on some things.

Mr. Xie sighed, feeling the pain in his back, but in the end he said nothing. He had no better choice.

……

Da Chu, the Imperial Palace, in the imperial study.

It was almost the end of the You hour, and Li Junhao and the Emperor were still in the imperial study, waiting for something. Both of them looked unhappy, and no one spoke. It was eerily quiet.

Finally, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard outside the hall, and Sang Mo, accompanied by two eunuchs, entered the hall without any instructions.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Sang Mo saluted the two of them, and the two people behind him followed suit.

"Stand up." The emperor raised his hand and looked at the two people behind Sang Mo. "Is it Nanny Li?"

Of the two people behind Sang Mo, a maid in her forties came out and said, "Your Majesty, I am Li Daihe. I wonder what your Majesty wants me to do so late at night?"

"Is everything ready for tomorrow's birthday banquet?" the emperor asked indifferently.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. The Queen Mother is in good condition. This afternoon she was telling us that if the marriage is arranged tomorrow, she will definitely have a great-grandson within a year."

Nanny Li answered with a smile. It was obvious that she was often summoned by the Emperor and she did not show any sign of panic.

"Well, that's good. You are all very capable. Mother has saved a lot of trouble." The emperor smiled and rubbed his two palms vigorously before continuing, "Where is Nanny Li's ancestral home?"

The smile on Li Ma's face froze a little. She didn't understand why the emperor suddenly mentioned her ancestral home, but she quickly adjusted her mood and replied calmly, "Your Majesty, my ancestral home is Suqian in Lu, and I have been in the palace for more than 20 years."

The emperor closed his eyes. Only a deep-minded person could bury such a spy in the palace and leave it there for twenty years without moving, just waiting for this action. It was really abominable.

"Well, Lu, Prince, didn't you tell me yesterday that one of your subordinates had just been to Lu, but have you heard of Nanny Li's hometown?" The emperor glanced at Li Junhao.

"Yes, father, he did go to Lu, and happened to go to Suqian." Li Junhao replied in a calm tone, without any waves, as if the father and son were talking about the weather.

Nanny Li already felt a little uneasy in her heart. At this critical moment, no problems could arise. She had been hiding very well, and there was no way they would be able to find out.

Just as she was randomly encouraging herself, she suddenly opened her eyes wide in surprise and shouted, "Oh no, there is medicine."

After she finished shouting, her vision was already a little blurry, and the scene began to spin in front of her eyes. In just a moment, Nanny Li had collapsed to the ground, muttering in disbelief, "Impossible, impossible..."
