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

Soon, word spread in the house that the servants said that Mr. Zhou was mentally ill and slandered the old lady in the small courtyard.

Those dirty words reached the ears of the old lady. The old lady was angry and Song Ling'er felt sorry for her mother and immediately sent people to beat Zhou in the small yard.

Not only did he vent his anger, he cut off the food in the small courtyard. For a while, the servants serving around Zhou were filled with complaints.

Zhou's life has been miserable these past few days.

After hearing such gossip, Gu Yu was so happy that he almost jumped up in front of Tan Zhixu, "Girl, I didn't expect to hit the old lady so quickly."

Faced with Gu Yu's excited expression, Tan Zhixu smiled tenderly, "That is the old lady of the Hou Mansion. How can any remarks that are not beneficial to her be tolerated?"

Gu Yu agreed with Tan Zhixu's explanation. She nodded slightly, "Yes, that's what the girl said. So what should we do next?"

"There is no need to do anything. Now that Song Ling'er has completely broken up with the Zhou family, you and I only need to do the errands assigned by the Duke's wife."

"Okay, girl, I have contacted all the major merchants for ingredients in the past few days, and they all expressed their support for us. You said that the restaurant is very busy every day, how can we spare people to go to the Duke's Mansion?"

From the moment he took this job, Gu Yu began to worry.

Of course, she firmly believed that the girl could arrange everything, but when she thought about the manpower problem, she couldn't help but feel a headache.

Tan Zhixu, who was having tea, was not worried at all. He just sipped his tea leisurely and said, "For the birthday banquet of the Duke's Mansion, do we still need to worry about manpower?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yu was stunned, blinking her eyes for a while without any reaction, but Tan Zhixu poked her arm, and then she came back to her senses.

"Girl, why didn't you remind me earlier? Do you know how worried I am during this time?" Gu Yu felt so aggrieved that he almost cried.

Tan Zhixu suppressed a smile and said, "Okay, okay, it's your lady's fault and I promise to remind you in advance in the future, okay?"

"That's what you said."

Tan Zhixu nodded helplessly, sometimes he was really left speechless by this girl Gu Yu.

But now that the affairs of the Hou Mansion have been settled, Tan Zhixu has no worries anymore, but the Tan family sends people to bother her from time to time, which makes her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Girl, someone from the Tan family has come again. This time, the master sent someone. He said that you have never been back to the Tan family since you married into the Marquis' mansion. The master misses you, and..."

Before she could finish her words, Gu Yu shut up, his brows and eyes full of suppressed anger.

Tan Zhixu understood and waved her to come to him, "But there are rumors?"

The Tan family is accustomed to using such methods. She had been manipulated by her father and Aunt Shen countless times in her previous life, but she would never do it again.

Gu Yu nodded, his face twisted with anger, "Girl, I guess those remarks were made by people sent by the Tan family. Everyone said that you are a white-eyed wolf. When you marry into the Hou family, you feel that you are superior to others, and you don't even care about your natal family." Especially since it was your fault that Aunt Shen was imprisoned before, and now it has been taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives."

She was angry in her heart. When she heard these unfavorable words for the girl, she wanted to refute them, but even her own words were insignificant. If she wanted to curb them, she had to deal with the root cause. But would the Tan family do that?
Thinking of Aunt Shen's face, Gu Yu started to worry again.

On the other hand, Tan Zhixu's face remained calm.

"Gu Yu, you must know that a little impatience can ruin a big plan. Now the Tan family is in a hurry, but we are not in a hurry. What did Aunt Shen do to me before, why did I marry into the Hou Mansion, etc., didn't I prepare it for you? ?”

"Girl, are you planning to fight back?"

"That's not the right time yet, but these can shut up the Tan family."

Tan Zhixu smiled easily, but Gu Yu was even more confused.

Seeing this, Tan Zhixu stood up calmly and shook his sleeves, "Let's go, it's time for our old lady in the Hou Mansion to get busy."

She doesn't think it's embarrassing, but if old things are brought up again, some people will be upset.In Jing'an Hall.

When the old lady heard what Nanny Huang said, she was so angry that she couldn't hold the cup in her hand. "Are the Tan family crazy? A small family still wants to conquer the Hou Mansion?"

"Old madam, please be careful. This kind of thing is not worthy of your anger. Since it is a matter of the Tan family, I think it is better to let the second madam handle it."

Outside the door, Tan Zhixu just arrived and happened to hear what Nanny Huang said. The corner of her mouth slightly raised, but before entering, she put on a sad face and said, "Mother, you have to make the decision for your daughter-in-law."

She came into the hall crying, and the old lady frowned, "Second room, do you still remember that you are the second wife of the Hou family?"

"Mother, my daughter-in-law comes to you just because she remembers it. Now that the Tan family is slandering her daughter-in-law everywhere, her daughter-in-law is really scared. If someone with intentions finds out the real reason why her daughter-in-law married into the Hou Mansion, what will happen? ?”

Tan Zhixu cried while talking. The old lady's face, which had a look of disgust on her face, suddenly changed.

She stood up suddenly and looked at Tan Zhixu in disbelief, "What do you mean?"

Seeing that the old lady was anxious, Tan Zhixu secretly pursed his lips. It seemed that he had made the right bet.

She lowered her head and sobbed, but her eyes subconsciously glanced at Aunt Huang and Gu Yu. After understanding what she meant, the old lady frowned and waved, and Aunt Huang lowered her head and came to Gu Yu, "Go out and serve."

"Yes."

Before coming, Tan Zhixu had agreed with Gu Yu that if Nanny Huang would take her out, just go out and don't say anything.

Gu Yu was confused, but still did it.

For a moment, only Tan Zhixu and the old lady were left in the room.

The old lady's old face was full of hatred.

"Tan Zhixu, you said back then that you would definitely rot in your stomach. What do you mean now?"

"Mom, my daughter-in-law doesn't mean anything. She is just worried. If the Tan family continues like this, the second master's affairs will be exposed sooner or later, and then my daughter-in-law will not be able to defend herself."

"Do you threaten me?"

Yes, it's a threat. You caused me so much misery in the previous life, is it possible that I have to let you do it again if I do it again?

He had an answer in his heart, but his face still had an expression of bewilderment.

After a long time, the old lady came to Tan Zhixu and seemed to compromise.

"The Hou Mansion can come forward in this matter, but if you can't deal with the Tan family, this kind of thing is inevitable, why don't you ask me, an old woman, to come forward again and again?"

The old lady gave Tan Zhi a set of steps. She didn't want to step down, but she knew how to give up when she was ready.

"Yes, thank you mother, don't worry, as long as you come forward, the Tan family will not dare to do anything in the future."

"Better so."

The old lady flicked her sleeves. She was obviously very angry, but she still endured it.

Not long after, the old lady came outside the house.

At that time, the housekeeper of the Tan family was about to leave, but when he saw the door of the Hou Mansion opened, he suddenly turned back.
