Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

After Jinzi left, Gu Qiongsi put down the account book and stood up from the chair.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt her legs were a little weak. It must be that her body had not yet recovered, and she couldn’t let herself down at this critical moment.

As she thought about this, her eyes returned to the account book. Today's orders always made her feel a little unreal.

Since she came into this world, she has been thinking every day about how to make her future life better. Now that she finally sees hope, she finds it a little hard to believe it.

The cicadas chirping on the branches near the window made her even more convinced that no matter how difficult life was, as long as she worked hard, she would be able to get what she wanted.

Look, don’t you have a chance to turn things around now?

She was both happy and uneasy, but her feelings were soon replaced by the busy work of making incense. Thinking of these large orders, she must speed up her incense-making work, otherwise she would not be able to deliver on time.

Xie Cheng'an had already told her yesterday that he would be going to Jinzhou with His Royal Highness Prince An to provide disaster relief, and asked her to remember to take care of Qian and Xie Rui at home when she has time.

Gu Qiongsi naturally agreed readily, but now it seemed that she could only send the money back on time, and she probably couldn't do anything else.

Dingxiang heard about what happened in the shop and saw that the first floor of Yipinxiang was full of customers, so she was very happy.

The sales of the incense shop are good, so I definitely won’t have to continue doing night business for a living.

So, in the afternoon, she went to Gu Qiongsi's incense-making room. Seeing her coming out, she asked with some joy, "Auntie Gu, I heard about the sales in the shop. I was thinking if this is the case, can we take a few days off at night?"

Dingxiang has become noticeably more haggard due to the fatigue and the reversed day and night life over the past few days. She no longer looks as bright and clever as before.

Gu Qiongsi walked past her without even raising his eyelids. "After the first batch of orders are delivered and we get the balance, our Yipinxiang's reputation will be completely established. Now, the deposit is not enough to reserve the spices."

"But, I...I seem to be...seem to be..." After hearing her words, Dingxiang knelt down with a plop, but she couldn't say what she wanted to say.

Gu Qiongsi was startled by her behavior. He didn't understand what she was trying to do, so he just looked up at her.

Ding Xiang saw her cold expression and made up her mind. She said, "It seems that I am pregnant. It's Gu Qionghua's child."

What? Gu Qiongsi laughed out loud after hearing this. Ding Xiang is in this state now, and she still wants to be her sister-in-law?

She has to entertain several men in one night, how can she have the nerve to say that the child is her brother's?

"Dingxiang, if you are pregnant, just abort the child. Don't you know your current situation?" Gu Qiongsi asked sarcastically.

"Of course I know that, but you should also know that every time I receive a guest, your mother will let me drink the contraceptive soup. The only thing I haven't done since I was with Gu Qionghua is that I haven't drunk it."

Ding Xiang no longer concealed her situation and told the truth, because the affair between her and Gu Qionghua had always been kept secret from Mrs. Du. Although she found out later, she did not ask Mrs. Du for the medicine after they were done.

I always wait until the guests leave before taking the medicine.

Dingxiang actually did not tell the truth about her pregnancy this time, because she and Gu Ziheng had also ended their relationship, and they did not drink the medicine afterwards.

However, Dingxiang was so smart that she didn't even need to think too much and would definitely say that the child was Gu Qionghua's, because Mrs. Du was there and she could never say that it was Gu Ziheng's.

What's more, when comparing the two father and son, Dingxiang is more accepting of Gu Qionghua.

How could Gu Qiongsi not see Ding Xiang's little thoughts? She sneered and said, "Ding Xiang, you can see that I am really tied up with the business of my shop. Why don't you go find my mother? She will definitely give you an explanation."

Ding Xiang's eyes dodged, and she said somewhat unwillingly, "Aunt, I have no other intention in telling you this, nor do I want the young master to do anything. I just want you to allow Ding Xiang to rest for a few days. After all, it takes some time to recover from a miscarriage."

Gu Qiongsi heard her say this and waved her hand. It turned out to be just such a small request. She looked at Ding Xiang again and said, "Well, go to my mother first. I have a letter for you to give her. She will allow you to take a leave."

Dingxiang quickly agreed with many thanks, and then happily returned to the courtyard that had frightened her with the letter written by Gu Qiongsi.

Gu Qiongsi curled the corner of his lips. Ding Xiang's little thoughts were really not worth mentioning in front of him. He really didn't know how such a stupid person could have coaxed Gu Xunwei into doing whatever she said.

In her letter, she told her mother to first confirm whether Dingxiang was really pregnant, and then decide whether to let her take a leave.

Ding Xiang was really stupid. Did she really think that those decoctions would only prevent them from getting pregnant for one day? She was totally wrong. Those decoctions were all made of the cheapest safflower, which was extremely cold. Even if she drank it several times, she would not be able to get pregnant in her lifetime.

What's more, she and Yingzi have been drinking it for more than a month. If she can really get pregnant, it really shows that Dingxiang's physique is different from ordinary people.

She didn't want to be distracted too much on this matter, but she still wasted so much time. She wanted to take a nap, but now it seems that she has no time.

Jinzi came over again to report the good news, "Boss, two more companies have paid deposits. You see, they are all big orders."

Jin Zi said this and took the account book and handed it to Gu Qiongsi for inspection.

When he saw Gu Qiongsi's face, he couldn't help but put away the smile on his face, "Boss, are you okay? I can see that you don't look very well. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

After reading the numbers in the account book, Gu Qiongsi said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I didn't rest well these past two days, and the incense-making thing also made it so. There's no need to panic."

Jin Zi felt relieved after hearing this. "With so many orders coming in at once, the boss must take care of himself. Otherwise, if we can't deliver the goods on time, the money we have to pay for the deposit alone will not be a small amount."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Gu Qiongsi comforted him with a smile, but in his heart he was calculating how many more spices he needed to purchase.
