Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Gu Qiongsi shook his head without hesitation, "Sanlang, we are in need of money right now, how can we have spare money to hire a doctor? Even if we did, Si'er wouldn't give it up, it would be more practical to buy more spices."

Xie Chengan wanted to say more, but Gu Qiongsi put her hand in front of his lips and said, "Sanlang, I know Si'er's condition well. She's fine. She'll be fine after a period of rest."

"Is that really the case? Si'er, don't lie to Sanlang." Xie Cheng'an didn't quite believe her words and was worried that she would delay her treatment.

Seeing Gu Qiongsi nodding seriously, "It's much better now. Although it's not clean yet, it's almost there. Don't worry, Sanlang."

Xie Cheng'an nodded then. The reason for Gu Qiong's death effectively dispelled his doubts, and he began to worry about the other person's health.

"In that case, Si'er should pay more attention to rest. I also know that there have been a lot of things going on in the mansion recently, which has consumed your mind, especially because of the money issue, hey..."

Xie Cheng'an felt reluctant, but he had no better way, so he could only sigh and end his care.

"Si'er understands Sanlang's intentions. After this period in the mansion, Si'er will definitely rest well. Don't worry, Sanlang." Gu Qiongsi forced a smile and then pushed Xie Cheng'an out the door.

"I'll ask Chunxiu to go to the study to get some rice paper. It might be needed in the evening." Gu Qiongsi said as he pushed him to the door.

The meaning was very clear, Chunxiu was to serve Xie Cheng'an.

But after Xie Cheng'an learned about Gu Qiongsi's physical condition, he no longer had such thoughts.

So he went directly to Rongdeyuan. Qian had gotten much better, and Nanny Li was helping her move around the house.

Seeing Xie Cheng'an coming in, Qian immediately became happy, "Madam Li, go and pour tea for the young master."

"Mother, it's not necessary. I just came to see how you are recovering. I'll sit for a while and then leave." Xie Cheng'an immediately declined and did not let Nanny Li leave.

"Master, Madam's health has recovered well. You see, she was able to walk around this afternoon. The doctor also told her to move around more."

Nanny Li also spoke to Xie Chengan excitedly, with a happy expression on her face.

"Well, Madam Li, you've worked hard." Xie Cheng'an said casually, and then sat on the chair next to Qian, and then asked, "I calculated the days, the medicine should be almost used up, right?"

His question was cryptic, but Qian and Nanny Li immediately understood what he was asking.

Nanny Li nodded and said, "Master, tomorrow will be the last time."

"Did you watch her drink it?" Xie Cheng'an continued to ask. He always felt uneasy in his heart, so he came here to confirm today.

He was really worried that Gu Xunwei would discover their conspiracy, or that she would not drink all of the medicine, then everything they did would be meaningless.

"Yes, I watched the young lady drink it, every time, except for one time when I vomited not long after drinking it due to nausea, which may have weakened the effect of the medicine."

Nanny Li answered carefully. She was not sure how much the vomiting would affect the efficacy of the medicine, but she did not dare to hide anything.

"Well, how is she...now?"

"Three days ago was the last time I saw the young lady. In the past two days, the young lady has been resting in bed. Chen Xiang fed her. I watched..."

After Nanny Li finished speaking, she shook her head gently, probably because she was about to die.

"That's good." Xie Cheng'an breathed a sigh of relief. For the sake of the Xie family, Gu Xunwei had to die. He still couldn't bear to let her die in such pain.

After all, although Gu Xunwei was just a businesswoman, she had never done anything to let him down. Instead, he was the one who had been plotting against her.

"Ang'er, have you found Gu's incense recipe?" Qian suddenly asked about the recipe.

She was just guessing. As for whether it had been found or not, she had been sick these days and had not heard any news at all.

Xie Chengan nodded and said, "I have given the incense recipe to Si'er. She has been studying it these past two days and is also looking for money to buy some spices. I think she will be able to make incense in two days."

After hearing this, Qian felt very upset. Her son got such a good thing, but he didn't give it to her first, but to a concubine. How could she not feel upset?

But she couldn't get angry in front of her son, so she had to use the excuse of being tired and sent Xie Cheng'an away.

Tomorrow, Qian will definitely find Gu Qiongsi and get the Gu's perfume recipe back. The perfume recipe has already been brought into the Xie Mansion. From now on, it will be Xie's perfume recipe. What can it have to do with her, a concubine?

Xie Cheng'an was still thinking about Gu Xunwei, so he naturally didn't notice Qian's plan. Instead, he took Shuangrui through many twists and turns and arrived at the gate of Xunxiangyuan.

"Go and knock on the door. I want to visit the young lady." Xie Cheng'an said to Shuangrui.

The door was opened and Bai Zhi was standing at the door, looking at the two people outside in some surprise.

"Greetings, Master. I wonder what brings you here so late? What's the matter?"

Bai Zhi spoke naturally, but Xie Chengan still heard a hint of sadness in her words.

"I heard that the young lady hasn't been feeling well these days, so I came to visit her." Xie Cheng'an explained casually and was about to walk into the yard.

"Young... Young Master, the young mistress has already rested. You should come back tomorrow." Bai Zhi hurriedly leaned over and stopped Xie Cheng'an.

"What? She is my wife, can't I even look at her?" Xie Cheng'an was not angry, he just questioned.

"Master, please calm down. The young mistress told me a few days ago that her health is getting worse and worse. Unless she is awake, she will not see anyone." Bai Zhi began to make up stories.

She was stalling for time, preferably to get Xie Chengan away, or at least until Chenxiang finished putting makeup on Gu Xunwei.

"Is she unconscious now?"

"Yes, yes, Master. Young Madam has been in a coma since three days ago. She was only awake for a quarter of an hour today before she fell into a coma again. I, your servant, was also..."

Bai Zhi explained nervously, with a hint of tears in her tone.

After she said this, Xie Cheng'an stopped trying to rush in. After all, this was Gu Xunwei's idea, and the maids would definitely listen to it.

And if I insist on going in now, wouldn't that be disregarding the Young Madam's wishes?

"Hey, you go back and take good care of the young lady. I'll be leaving now and will come to see her tomorrow." After Xie Cheng'an said this to Bai Zhi, he looked deeply into the courtyard.
