After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

Chapter 117 The lady was so powerful that she ran away in fear

When Mrs. Zhou heard Mrs. Liu's words, a pure light flashed in her eyes. She knew that Tan Zhixu would not be honest in the Duke's Mansion, but he did not expect that she had offended the most unoffended woman in the Duke's Mansion just two days after she arrived. .

Thinking of Tan Zhixu's difficult life in the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but chuckle: God really helped me.

"Mr. Zhou, why are you laughing? Are you confused by being bullied by Mr. Tan?"

Mrs. Liu was dissatisfied with Mr. Zhou's disrespect for her.

Hearing Mrs. Liu's displeasure, Mrs. Zhou quickly stood up and saluted.

"Madam, please don't be angry. I just thought of Tan's past behavior and the ridiculous things she did, and I couldn't help laughing."

"Oh?" Mrs. Liu was dumbfounded when she heard this, and instantly became energetic, "What's the matter?"

"Hey, it's actually not a big deal. After all, Mrs. Tan is the daughter of the county magistrate and a daughter of a small family. It's understandable that she doesn't know etiquette. But I didn't expect her to..."

Mrs. Zhou said the next words close to Mrs. Liu. Her voice was very low and only Mrs. Liu could hear it.

After she had been talking for almost a quarter of an hour, Liu laughed loudly and said, "Seriously?"

"This can still be false. If she hadn't played tricks and coaxed my mother around, the business of the Marquis Mansion would not have fallen into her hands. Now, the Duke's Mansion still thinks she is some powerful person. Isn’t it an unreasonable entrustment to entrust such a big thing as the old lady’s birthday banquet to her!!!”

Mrs. Zhou had a sad look on her face, as if the Duke's wife had made a big mistake.

Liu, who originally wanted to compete with the mother-in-law for the position of the Duke's wife, had a bold plan in mind after receiving Zhou's approval.

She stared at Mr. Zhou with burning eyes, and her whole body was covered in an instant.

Mrs. Zhou stumbled and said, "Madam, why are you looking at me like this?"

"Ms. Zhou, I think you're pretty good. As the wife of the Duke's Mansion, I naturally have to contribute to this old lady's birthday party. In this case, you can follow me to the Duke's Mansion."

After Mrs. Liu finished speaking mysteriously, she pulled Mrs. Zhou straight to the Duke's Mansion.

Even though she didn't say much, Zhou had guessed that Liu was obviously planning to use herself against Tan Zhixu. Even if she was used, it didn't matter. After all, Tan Zhixu couldn't just let Tan Zhixu take all the good news.

The two of them had just left, and Gu Huaijing in the room next door looked ugly.

After recovering from the illness, Tan Zhixu began to avoid him. Gu Huaijing brought Teng Xi to the restaurant these days, expecting to see Tan Zhixu, but unexpectedly she went to prepare a birthday banquet for the Duke's wife.

Thinking of her neat figure, a smile flashed in Gu Huaijing's eyes.

"Damn it, Master, this Zhou family is such a bully. How can he drag the concubines from the Duke's mansion to deal with Miss Tan?"

Both Teng Xi and Gu Huaijing heard the conversation between Zhou and Liu just now. The underlying meaning of those words was clearly aimed at Tan Zhixu. He couldn't help it anymore and waved his fist several times, intending to rush over. , were all stopped by Gu Huaijing.

"Since she chose this birthday banquet, she should be prepared to face this. If she can't even handle this, how will she be able to take care of such a large business in the Hou Mansion in the future?"

Gu Huaijing's expression was extremely serious, and Teng Xi was speechless for a moment.

Their eyes met, and Teng Xi finally compromised.

"Master, as long as you don't regret it, I won't say much."

At this point, Teng Xi had nothing else to say.

The master and servant walked out of the restaurant and happened to see Mrs. Zhou riding Liu's carriage to the Duke's Mansion.

Gu Huaijing stopped outside the restaurant, thought for a moment, and looked sideways at Teng Xi, "Did the Duke invite you to appreciate the chrysanthemums?"

"Ah? No?"

Teng Xi shook his head in confusion, but Gu Huaijing nodded to himself, "Well, I happen to have time, so let's go." After saying this, Gu Huaijing rode away.

Teng Xi stood there for a while. When his master was almost out of sight, he came back to his senses and rode after him with a smile.

Guogong Mansion.

The Duke's Mansion was extremely lively today. When Tan Zhixu first came to the front yard and saw Mrs. Zhou, she didn't feel too strange. She just wanted to know how this woman persuaded Mrs. Liu to bring her here.

She has also heard about the Duke Guo's neglect of the Liu family in the past few days. Logically speaking, Mrs. Liu should focus all her attention on the Duke Guo. How can she still be in the mood to care about her and Zhou's affairs? ?

With doubts, Tan Zhixu looked at Mr. Zhou with a sophisticated look in his eyes.

Meeting Tan Zhixu's eyes, Zhou met them without fear, and there was even a hint of arrogance in her eyes.

Therefore, Tan Zhixu speculated that the Zhou family had reached some kind of deal with the Liu family.

Sure enough, just as she thought of this, Mrs. Liu came straight to her and said, "Ms. Tan, now you are responsible for preparing for the old lady's birthday banquet. With so many things, I am afraid you will be too busy, right?"

Mrs. Liu didn't give Tan Zhixu a chance to refuse, and then said: "It doesn't matter. I know that you, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, also have experience in this area. So, you two will be responsible for this matter."

"No need."

As soon as Ms. Liu finished speaking, the Duke's wife appeared suddenly, as if falling from the sky.

"Ms. Liu, my wife is responsible for this matter, so don't get involved." Mrs. Guogong looked at Mrs. Liu dissatisfied.

Mrs. Liu, who had her back turned to the Duke's wife, gritted her teeth. When she turned to look at the lady, she put on a smile again.

"Madam, do you believe in Mr. Tan so much? You must know that this is a major matter for our Duke's palace. If something really happens, has Madam considered the consequences?"

Mrs. Liu looked at the Duke's wife meaningfully.

She deliberately made the matter more serious, and she was sure that the madam would listen to her wishes, but the Duke's wife had a smile on her lips, "Don't bother Aunt Liu to worry, I have already made arrangements."

"Madam, do you have to be so stubborn? If I ask the master, do you think he will agree?"

Mrs. Liu took a step forward and approached Madam.

Madam felt Liu's provocation, but there was no emotion on her face.

"Aunt Liu, just go find the master. If the master agrees, then I will naturally agree."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Liu vowed to go to the Duke of Guo with her skirt in hand.

Not long after, she arrived in the study.

On the other side, the Duke's wife looked Zhou up and down.

Originally, with Ms. Liu's support, Mrs. Zhou didn't think anything of it, but now that she was the only one here, she would be lying if she said she wasn't flustered.

"Brother and sister, you represent the Hou Mansion now. I am here to help you for the sake of our Hou Mansion. You won't..."

"Sister-in-law, you know in your heart whether you are sincere in this matter. I advise you not to be too smart."

Naturally, Tan Zhixu didn't want the Zhou family to stay in the Duke's Mansion. She could plot against her, but she couldn't involve the Duke's Mansion. If something happened here, it would not only be the Hou's Mansion but also herself. No good fruit will be gained.

"you……"

"Ms. Zhou, I don't like you being in the Duke's Mansion. Even if Mrs. Liu asks the Duke for your life and the master agrees to let you stay, do you think it will be easy for you if I don't agree?"
