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

Chapter 123: Talk nonsense and reap the consequences

Seeing that Tan Zhixu was not happy, Gu Yu quickly ran to the carriage and said, "Girl, please look at..."

"Gu Yu, your little thoughts are all written on your face." Before Gu Yu could finish her words, Tan Zhixu interrupted her.

Their eyes met, and Gu Yu lowered his head guiltily.

In fact, the moment she saw Gu Huaijing, Tan Zhixu knew that all this was a conspiracy between Gu Yu and Teng Xi. They thought she didn't see it, but in fact she saw it all.

The look between their eyebrows was not just trying to bring her and Gu Huaijing together.

At this point, Tan Zhixu sighed.

"Gu Yu, the matter between Master Gu and I is not that simple. Now that I have a dangerous road ahead of the Marquis Mansion, is it appropriate to involve him?"

Tan Zhixu calmly questioned Gu Yu. With just one sentence, the other party was speechless.

Guyu stared at Tan Zhixu blankly, and finally lowered his head in frustration.

"Okay, let's go back."

Tan Zhixu knew that he didn't need to say anything, and Gu Yu already understood.

On one side, Guyu followed Tan Zhixu away, while on the other side, Teng Xi was still in a state of confusion. He didn't look at the people beside him until he couldn't see the Marquis's carriage.

I saw my master looking at the carriage Tan Zhixu was riding in trance.

After a moment, Gu Huaijing looked at Teng Xi, "You have become more and more bold recently."

"Master, Master, what do you mean by this?" Teng Xi panicked visibly, lowering his head and not daring to look directly into Gu Huaijing's eyes.

Looking at Gu Huaijing again, he came to Teng Xi reluctantly, "Do you really think Tan Zhixu and I can't tell?"

With just one word, Teng Xi instantly knelt on the ground, "I know my mistake."

"Don't be so troubled in the future."

"Yes."

Teng Xi lowered his head, realizing that he had done something wrong. He only waited until Gu Huaijing rode back to the Gu Mansion before getting up and following him.

On the other side, Tan Zhixu and Gu Yu also returned to the Duke's Mansion.

Tan Zhixu went back to the bedroom without saying a word. She has ignored Gu Yu since that day.

Gu Yu was frightened, and she tried to coax Tan Zhixu several times with no results. Finally she couldn't help it anymore, and when no one was paying attention, she knelt on the ground and said, "Girl, it's all my fault. I will never do this again." If you dare, please forgive me, slave."

At this point, Guyu's face was covered with tears.

Tan Zhixu helped the person up, "Do you know you are wrong?"

"Ah."

Gu Yu nodded repeatedly, so Tan Zhixu also smiled back, "Okay, that's the case, then I won't be angry."

In fact, Tan Zhixu was not really angry, she just wanted to make Gu Yu's memory clear up. Otherwise, if she and Teng Xi had such an encounter again in the future, she would be really worried that she would give in first.

After this incident, Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing had never seen each other. She was busy with the birthday banquet of the Duke's Mansion and the store, while Gu Huaijing was also patrolling the dock every day.

Now that it’s rainy season, it’s natural to pay more attention.

As a result, Gu Huaijing had no time to care about Tan Zhixu, but he didn't expect that he would hear her name again on the street.

As soon as Gu Huaijing and Teng Xi arrived at the street, they saw several vendors whispering. When he listened carefully, he heard Tan Zhixu's name.

Thinking of her indifference that day, Gu Huaijing wanted to pretend that he couldn't hear the people leaving, but the words of one of them attracted his attention.

"Tell me, is the second lady of the Marquis Mansion born to be such a shameless person?"

"What does that mean?"

"Don't you know? The second wife of the Marquis Mansion, in order to seduce the Duke of Guo, went to the Duke of Guo's Mansion regardless of etiquette and integrity. She didn't care about the Marquis' Mansion anymore. She stayed in the Duke of Guo's Mansion every day. It is simply an insult to us women in the capital. face."

"Really?"

"This can still be false. Someone from my mother's family worked in the Duke's mansion and saw Tan Zhixu seducing the Duke with his own eyes." "Ah!!!"

Everyone was amazed that such remarks quickly spread in the capital.

When Teng Xi heard this, he couldn't help but rushed over. However, before he could say anything, Gu Huaijing grabbed him.

He turned back to look at Gu Huaijing, "Master, can you bear it?"

"Don't you want to know who the mastermind is?"

"I."

Gu Huaijing looked at Teng Xi with a cold expression.

Teng Xi paused and thought for a moment, then nodded, "Then, Master, what should we do?"

"Follow the person who said he was the happiest."

"Yes."

Without saying a word, Teng Xi directly caught up with the lady who had been saying that Tan Zhixu was not good, and followed her to the destination quickly.
But when she saw the plaque in front of her, Teng Xi's face turned extremely ugly. The lady looked around and followed her into the restaurant.

This restaurant is the restaurant of Hou Mansion, Teng Xi followed closely with furrowed brows.

In the upper room of the restaurant.

Zhou was eating tea and listening to Forsythia talking about the remarks about Tan Zhixu on the street. She smiled and said, "What do you think Tan Zhixu would do if he heard such remarks?"

"Madam, I don't think this is slander. The second lady should know how to restrain herself."

"Restraint?" Ms. Zhou sneered, "How can a person like Tan Zhixu know what restraint is?"

"Ma'am."

At that time, a figure appeared.

Zhou glanced sideways at the door and saw a lady standing at the door. She chuckled, "Mrs. Wang, you are well."

After receiving Zhou's words, Mrs. Wang hurriedly came to the upper room.

The moment the door closed, Teng Xi also arrived at the corridor on the second floor. He saw the wife he was following entering Zhou's upper room. Everything was self-evident.

He came to the next door and listened clearly to the conversation between the two.

After waiting for half an hour, Teng Xi returned to Gu Huaijing, her whole face flushed with anger.

"Master, who do you think these people in the Hou Mansion are? Miss Tan has worked hard for the Hou Mansion, and this is how they treated her?"

In Teng Xi's puzzled eyes, Gu Huaijing looked not far away with resentful eyes. After a long time, he came back to his senses and looked at Teng Xi, "Have the goods from Zhou's mother's family arrived at the dock recently?"

"Yes."

Teng Xi looked puzzled, but Gu Huaijing smiled, "Ms. Zhou has to get busy too."

Previously, because of Tan Zhixu, both Gu Huaijing and Teng Xi inspected the goods of the Hou Mansion and Zhou Family faster than those of other families.

This can save them a lot of time, but now it seems that some people can't be used to it.

When Teng Xi met Gu Huaijing's eyes, she came to her senses, and a smile appeared on her lips, "Yes, Master, I understand."

He took the order and headed straight to the dock.

The next day, the Zhou family received news that the Zhou family's goods were backlogged at the dock, and many of them did not meet the inspection requirements. Now that the goods are being squeezed and the vendors are waiting for their goods, the Zhou family is now at a loss.

The Zhou family had no way to ask for help, so they found the Hou Mansion.

Originally, Mrs. Song could solve some problems by coming forward, but now that Mrs. Zhou doesn't like to see her, she will not beg for help for Zhou's sake.

"Madam, you have to think of a way. Now the Zhou family is counting on this batch of goods."
