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

Song Ling'er clenched her hands into fists and buried her head very low. The sneers around her almost engulfed her.

Several people who were not dealing with her did not care about their own face at this time and laughed in public, "I really didn't expect the eldest lady of the Hou family to be such a mean person?"

"Hey, I'm sorry for the second lady of the Hou Mansion."

When his name was suddenly called, Tan Zhixu's face became extremely ugly.

She really didn't expect what happened today. Originally, she knew that Song Ling'er and the old lady were coming, and the old lady was already included in the invitation. As the princess's companion, it was reasonable for Song Ling'er to participate in such an occasion. middle.

But she never expected that Song Ling'er would want to steal the credit. Is this crazy?

She was still confused and couldn't figure out what was going on. The old lady was standing next to her and saw her face was ugly, so she asked with concern: "Zhixu, what's wrong?"

The old lady's deep voice instantly brought back Tan Zhixu's consciousness. She shook her head and chuckled, "Old lady, Ling'er means well, but maybe the method is wrong. Don't be angry. Since Ling'er is unwell, then How about letting her go back first?"

It would be embarrassing to stay now, so Tan Zhixu complied with her wishes and let her go. He had good intentions, but he didn't want Song Ling'er to glare at Tan Zhixu fiercely before leaving.

After just one glance, Tan Zhixu frowned and felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that Song Ling'er wanted to hate herself, but what had she done wrong?

Tan Zhixu sighed helplessly, and then the old lady announced the start of the birthday banquet. The Duke's wife took Tan Zhixu to greet the ladies from various families who came to congratulate her.

Aunt Liu seemed to be an abandoned person throughout the whole process, unable to talk to her at all. She could only watch Tan Zhixu steal the show from a distance. At this time, Mrs. Zhou, who had arrived late, smiled softly, "Aunt Liu, you are so Your status is not good, why can’t you be as good as our second daughter-in-law?”

Mrs. Zhou was called in temporarily. The old lady knew that Tan Zhixu was going to be in the limelight, so she thought that she could not monopolize Feng Cai alone, so she decided to let Mrs. Zhou come out.

Of course the old lady said, "This time you are responsible for making Tan Zhixu lose face. Remember, if you don't perform well, you will still be locked up in that small courtyard after you go back."

The old lady had a sad look on her face, and she looked around before giving Zhou a signal.

Zhou followed the old lady's eyes and instantly saw Aunt Liu.

Their eyes met, and Mrs. Zhou smiled knowingly, "Don't worry, mother, my daughter-in-law understands and will not let you down."

Mrs. Zhou vowed to say hello to the old lady and went directly to Aunt Liu.

He started mocking her as soon as he saw her.

Mrs. Zhou had already checked it out, and Aunt Liu was also brainless. She just gave her a little nudge, and Aunt Liu immediately hated Tan Zhixu to the core of her bones.

Not far away, Tan Zhixu smiled happily. She was checking the food of the Duke's wife.

Aunt Liu didn't like Tan Zhixu, and now that her position had been taken away by her, she was even more angry.

Mrs. Zhou saw through Aunt Liu's thoughts and said with a slight smile: "Aunt Liu, my daughter-in-law, who is the second wife of the Marquis Mansion, is quite powerful."

"Why, you can't fight Tan Shi, and you still want me to fight?"

Aunt Liu gave Zhou a cold look. This woman's intentions were so obvious that she couldn't even pretend not to understand.

However, Mrs. Zhou didn't feel anything, and the smile in her eyes even grew stronger, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Aunt Liu should understand this truth, right?"

Looking at each other, Aunt Liu was silent for a moment, and then left with Zhou.

Not long after, the birthday banquet was in the second half, and suddenly many ladies were holding their stomachs with pain on their faces.

Tan Zhixu was standing not far away, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene. It seemed that he had been negligent. "Zhixu, what's wrong?"

Seeing her frozen in place, the Duke's wife stepped forward worriedly.

Tan Zhixu came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled, "Madam, you see, those ladies may be unwell. Let the maids bring the medicine we have prepared."

"it is good."

The Duke's wife followed the direction of Tan Zhixu's finger and quickly saw the ladies with unkind expressions, and Aunt Liu was beside them at the moment.

You couldn't hear what they said from a distance, but that was never a good thing.

The Duke's wife waved her and her aunt to go to Aunt Liu and whispered a few words. Aunt Liu's expression changed instantly.

Meeting Aunt Liu's eyes, the Duke's wife smiled, and she smiled freely. Aunt Liu stamped her feet angrily, "Madam, do you think it's my fault that something happened to these ladies?"

"Whether it is yes or no, Madam can find out. Aunt Liu is celebrating the old lady's birthday today, and any mistake will be fatal. Are you sure you want to turn your elbows outward on a day like this?"

He and his aunt didn't spoil Aunt Liu, and her words hit the point.

Facing her and her aunt's expressions of being in control of everything, Aunt Liu still felt guilty. She knocked her away and took the herbs directly to the ladies. "Guys, are your spleens and stomachs too fragile? Look what this brings to you." Yes, after eating, you can continue to eat."

"Really? Thank you Aunt Liu."

Several of them were wives from small families. Now that the aunt from the Duke's Mansion came to woo them, she also greeted them with a shy face.

Seeing Aunt Liu handle these matters, Mrs. Zhou's expression changed visibly. She was about to go to Aunt Liu but was blocked by Tan Zhixu.

"Sister-in-law, please think clearly. This is the Duke's mansion. If something goes wrong, no one can protect you."

"Ms. Tan, that's what you said. Sister-in-law, I just want to help, but I don't know what you mean?" Mrs. Zhou pretended not to know, and Tan Zhixu didn't say much, just nodded slightly, "You should think about it yourself."

At this point, Tan Zhi didn't say anything more, and came to the Duke's wife again to continue busy with other things.

The entire birthday banquet lasted for two hours, and Tan Zhixu instantly became the favorite in the lady's circle.

Especially the ladies who were good friends with the Duke's wife were full of praise for Tan Zhixu.

Faced with the praise from everyone, Tan Zhixu responded humbly, without taking any credit, and also responded to the sentiments of several ladies.

At the end, a lady took Tan Zhixu's hand and said, "Second madam, if you have nothing to do in the future, can we make an appointment with you?"

"Mrs. Zhang, what you said is obvious. Of course it's okay. You are welcome to come to my restaurant often. I have prepared a room for us in the upper room on the second floor. You are welcome at any time."

This kind of honor made several people praise Tan Zhixu even more.

After saying hello and watching them leave, Tan Zhixu felt tired.

However, as soon as he arrived at the Hou Mansion, he was called to the ancestral hall by the old lady.

In the middle of the night, the old lady of the Hou Mansion was really energetic. When Tan Zhixu arrived, Zhou and Song Ling'er were both there. It was obvious that they had come to investigate.

"My daughter-in-law has met her mother. I wonder if her mother has something to do with her daughter-in-law at this time?"
