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

He and his aunt's status in the Duke's mansion were second only to the Duke's wife.

She was the old lady's maid at first. Later, the old lady asked the Duke's wife to take charge of the Duke's palace, so she and her aunt went to serve the lady.

Even Aunt Liu, who had always been favored and arrogant, looked kind and happy when she saw Aunt He. It wasn't that she didn't look down on Madam, but that she liked Aunt He, mainly because of the financial backer behind her.

In the entire Duke's palace, no one offended anyone but the old lady. That was an old lady who even the emperor did not pay attention to.

Don't say that you don't want to give the emperor face. Rumor has it that when he was a child, he was often beaten by the old lady because he was naughty.

Now that the emperor saw the old lady, he still had psychological shadow. As a result, no one dared to make trouble in front of the old lady.

Although Tan Zhixu had only heard of these words, but having lived two lifetimes, she knew clearly that there was no such thing as unfounded news in this world.

Simply, the arrival of He Aunt made the haze in her eyes dissipate, and she quickly stood up to give a big gift to He Aunt.

However, before he could bend down, he and his aunt stopped him.

The aunt in front of me, who looked about the same age as the old lady, smiled very kindly.

Her brows and eyes were full of praise for Tan Zhixu. The look in her eyes was so gentle that she instantly thought of her mother.

In an instant, Tan Zhixu's eyes became moist.

Just thinking about not being able to fulfill her filial piety in two lifetimes made her feel sorry for her mother.

"Second Madam, have you thought of something sad?"

During this time, those who followed Madam with her aunt naturally witnessed Tan Zhixu's dedicated efforts for this birthday banquet.

Hearing the concerned inquiry, Tan Zhixu shook his head helplessly, "It's okay, I just thought about my mother."

"Good boy, if your mother knows that you are so capable, she should be happy." Aunt He saw Tan Zhixu's sadness, comforted him a few words, explained some things that must be paid attention to, and then left.

After seeing off his aunt, Tan Zhixu took Gu Yu straight to the venue of the old lady's birthday banquet.

At this time, the old lady of the Hou Mansion took Song Ling'er over early. It was said that they, the second lady of the Hou Mansion, had taken on the important task, so they naturally had to come over to help.

It's just that such remarks were not recognized by the Duke's government, especially Aunt Liu.

She didn't know that several people in the Hou family were not dealing with her, and she thought that the old lady, Song Ling'er and Tan Zhixu were in the same group. As soon as she saw the two of them, all the grievances in her heart were released.

"I originally thought that although the Hou family is a small family, it also knows etiquette, but I didn't expect that he would be such a shameless person."

Faced with Aunt Liu's ridicule, Song Ling'er could not bear it. After all, she was the princess's companion, and she still walked around in the capital more or less. Now she was just a concubine in the Duke's palace, so she dared to disrespect herself like this. He immediately sneered.

"It's not as good as the Duke's Mansion. Today's scene is such that the concubine comes out and shows up. This is because there is no one in the house, and it's the Duke's wife..."

"Snapped."

Before Song Linger could finish speaking, Aunt Liu raised her hand and slapped her.

This hit Song Ling'er was stunned. She covered half of her face and looked at Aunt Liu in disbelief, "You dare to hit me. Do you know that I am the princess's companion? Today I am here on behalf of the princess. How dare you hit me?" I'm, well, very good."

Before she finished speaking, Song Ling'er went directly to the old lady.

Seeing that she wanted to make things worse, Aunt Liu frowned and quickly winked at the maid behind her.

The little maid caught Aunt Liu's look and hurriedly caught up with Song Ling'er, "Miss Song, today is my old lady's birthday party. If you rush over like this, you will get into trouble."

"It's bad luck?" When Song Ling'er heard this, she immediately distanced herself from the little maid, "Your aunt dares to beat the guests on a day like this, and you're not allowed to tell me?"

At this point, Song Ling'er ignored the maid and went straight to the backyard.

In a moment, Song Ling'er had arrived in the courtyard where the old lady was.

However, she was unable to enter the room today because she and her aunt blocked her, "Miss Song, what are you doing here?"

"Aunt He, take a look, what do you think is wrong with my face?" Song Ling'er pointed out, tilting her face to let Aunt He look over.

With just one glance at her aunt, she could instantly see through Song Ling'er's thoughts.

Song Ling'er cried aggrievedly, "Auntie, should I see the old lady?"

"Is it Aunt Liu?"

"Yes."

With just one sentence, he nodded with his aunt, thought about it, and went directly to the room.

After almost an hour of burning incense, I and my aunt came out and said to Song Ling'er, "Miss Song, Madam will take care of it. You can go to the front yard to rest first."

"Since Madam will help me handle it, please thank Madam for me. However, it is my second sister-in-law who is leading the birthday banquet today, so naturally I have to help."

"Need not."

Song Ling'er's originally smiling face suddenly became dumbfounded because of her words with her aunt.

He and his aunt didn't give Song Ling'er a good look at all, "Miss Song, please, no one can enter or leave the backyard today."

This way of driving away guests instantly made Song Ling'er lose her composure. She forced out a smile and saluted, "Then I won't bother you."

While talking, she lowered her head, and when she looked up again, she and her aunt were nowhere to be seen.

Song Ling'er clenched her hands into fists, thinking that everyone in the Duke's mansion was gentle and courteous to Tan Zhixu, but treated her coldly, she felt naturally aggrieved.

Not long after, Song Ling'er returned to the main venue. At this time, many noble ladies had already arrived. Seeing that the Duke's wife was too busy, she went directly outside the house to greet them.

She thought, it would be hard for the Duke's Mansion to slap her helper in the face, right?
"Everyone, thank you very much for coming to the old lady's birthday banquet. Please come inside."

Song Ling'er had no stage fright, and she calmly welcomed several people into the Duke's Mansion. Some people looked confused but didn't say anything, but some couldn't help but wonder: "Miss Song, why are you in the Duke's mansion today?" Mansion?"

Facing her companion's questioning, Song Ling'er smiled and said nothing, with a shy demeanor that looked like she was extremely shy.

Several people faced each other, and then they remembered the eldest son in the Duke's mansion. In addition, Song Linger was as beautiful as a flower. Although the Marquis's mansion was not as good as the Duke's mansion, Song Linger was the princess's companion no matter what. With such a status It is natural that he is a good match for the prince of the country.

Someone suddenly realized it and pointed at Song Ling'er and smiled mischievously, "Miss Song, this is a good thing for the young master."

"Don't talk nonsense." Song Ling'er smiled coquettishly, not forgetting the etiquette, and saluted several people, "Everyone, don't stand here anymore, hurry in."

"well."

With Song Ling'er's news, the news spread instantly in the banquet hall, and many people knew about Song Ling'er's engagement to the prince of the Duke's mansion.

Such remarks soon reached the ears of Madam and Aunt Liu.

At that time, Tan Zhixu was in front of his wife. When she heard what he said to her aunt, she subconsciously said, "I'm sorry, madam. It was someone from my Hou family who was rash. Who spread this nonsense? I'm going to find Ling'er right now." .”
