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

"I don't want to hear it."

Unexpectedly, Song Ling'er didn't follow Zhou's wishes at all. She looked at her with a cold expression and waved directly, "Sister-in-law, I'm tired. If you have nothing to do, please go back first."

"Okay, okay, then the elder sister-in-law will leave first. You have to take care of yourself and don't get angry because of your second sister-in-law. Your second sister-in-law has always been like this..."

Even though she said she didn't want to hear it, Zhou still kept talking for a long time.

If Song Ling'er hadn't frowned and turned her back to Zhou, she might have been able to continue talking.

Zhou was embarrassed, but did not continue with a shy face. She walked out of Song Ling'er's yard, turning back three times. When she reached the door, she deliberately said to the maid waiting in the yard: "Ling'er is in a bad mood these days, you should pay more attention to her." Be careful, especially don't let Tan Zhixu come over."

"Yes, I will remember the teachings of the eldest lady."

After leaving Song Ling'er's yard, Zhou went to Tan Zhixu's place again.

When the maid saw all this reported to Song Ling'er, she lay on the couch with a smile on her face, "Mr. Zhou really doesn't think it's a big deal. Are you afraid that Tan Zhixu and I can live in peace?"

"Girl, the first lady doesn't want to see you well, but the second lady has really cared about you recently."

"She cares about me?"

Song Ling'er snorted coldly, "The reason why she cares about me is just because of guilt. After all, she is not a good person."

When the maid heard this, she didn't dare to answer the question, so she could only lower her head and wait.

Not long after, Song Ling'er seemed to suddenly think of something and looked sideways at the maid, "Has the prince been to a restaurant recently?"

The maid who was pouring tea heard Song Ling'er's words and was stunned for a while. It took her a while to think of a reaction. She nodded and shook her head, "The people I sent out in the past few days have not come back to report. It should be so. Did not go."

"Okay, continue to send people to support him. If you see the prince, report him immediately."

"Yes."

Song Ling'er failed to frame Tan Zhixu this time and lost one of her maids. She was angry and had long thought about taking revenge, but she couldn't find a suitable excuse.

On the other hand, Tan Zhixu felt relaxed. She had gone through all the shops without any serious problems, and her business was surprisingly good. However, Song Ling'er's recent actions made her realize that she had to act as soon as possible. Otherwise, with her behavior that brings disaster to the country and the people, something will happen sooner or later.

"Girl, have you heard?"

"What?" As soon as he returned to the yard, Gu Yu mysteriously pulled Tan Zhixu.

Gu Yu has always been very fussy when encountering anything. Tan Zhixu has long been used to it, so now seeing her expression, Tan Zhixu didn't think much and just ate tea leisurely. .

But when Gu Yu said the first sentence, Tan Zhixu was no longer calm.

"Mr. Gu, this time you are completely famous in the court because of you."

"Ok?"

Tan Zhixu sat up straight, slightly stunned.

When Gu Yu saw this, the smile in his eyes grew stronger, knowing that his master cared about Mr. Gu.

She spoke and gestured, telling everything she knew.

Originally, Gu Yu spoke very easily, and Tan Zhixu listened very calmly, but the more he listened, the less it was like that. By the time Gu Yu finished speaking, Tan Zhixu's face was already very ugly.

"You mean everyone in the court knows that Gu Huaijing helped the Hou Mansion?"

"Yes, many people have witnessed Mr. Gu's true love for you this time."

Gu Yu was still smiling, not noticing Tan Zhixu's worries at all.

But after she finished speaking, she didn't see any reaction from her master for a long time. She was a little worried, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

"This is not a good thing." Tan Zhixu had her own worries in her heart, and after much thought she went to Gu's house. However, as soon as she arrived at the door, she thought of the rumors. She retreated to the teahouse opposite and asked Gu Yu to find Teng Xi.

When Guyu came back, Tengxi came with him.

"Miss Tan, my master has been working in the government office these past two days. Do you have anything to do with my master? Tell your subordinates, and they will report to the master."

When Teng Xi saw Gu Yu, she was afraid of missing something and hurriedly followed him.

Seeing Teng Xi's worry, Tan Zhixu shook his head, "I'm asking you something, but don't tell Gu Huaijing."

"it is good."

Their eyes met, Teng Xi nodded heavily, and Tan Zhixu took a sip of tea with satisfaction.

She didn't ask too much, she just asked Teng Xi about Gu Huaijing's recent affairs with other court officials.

"Miss Tan, do you know everything?"

Teng Xi asked tentatively.

Tan Zhixu raised his eyes and finally nodded.

As soon as these words came out, Teng Xi scratched his head in embarrassment, "Actually, you don't have to worry, the adults will arrange everything and won't let those adults take advantage of it."

"That's good. Please tell your master in the future not to be so concerned about my affairs, for fear of being taken advantage of."

"Girl, are you concerned about my master?"

Teng Xi didn't answer the question and looked mean-spirited with his smile, but it was not annoying. Maybe this was the difference between Teng Xi and others.

"Ahem..." After Teng Xi exposed his thoughts, Tan Zhixu cleared his throat in embarrassment and continued talking about business.

Knowing that Gu Huaijing was indeed busy with business recently, she had nothing to worry about. She let Gu Yu send Teng Xi away while she continued to do her own thing.

At that time, Gu Huaijing had just finished his official duties. Seeing that Teng Xi was not there, he asked his subordinates to find someone.

As soon as the guard arrived at the door, he saw Teng Xi.

"Commander Teng, you are finally here. The master is looking for you everywhere." The guard looked at Teng Xi anxiously, but he seemed unfazed, "Okay, go and do your work."

Teng Xi drove the person away with a wave of his hand and went directly to Gu Huaijing.

Gu Huaijing raised his eyes to look at Teng Xi's smiling face. He frowned subconsciously, "What did you do?"

"Guess."

Gu Huaijing was not in a leisurely mood to joke around with Teng Xi. Against his joking expression, Gu Huaijing's face looked even more alienated.

Seeing this, Teng Xi immediately stopped smiling and bowed: "Master, Miss Tan cares about you very much. Knowing that you are being embarrassed in the court, she went to find her subordinates to ask about the situation."

"Did you tell me everything?"

"No way, I know you don't want Miss Tan to worry, so it's easy for me to avoid important matters. Don't worry." Teng Xi patted his chest and asked Gu Huaijing for credit.

However, Gu Huaijing was indifferent and just told Teng Xi to be cautious in the future.

Originally, Gu Huaijing had cleared up her relationship with Tan Zhixu, so no one would target her anymore, but the prince's people seemed to be targeting Tan Zhixu.

Gu Huaijing, who didn't know the reason, sent someone to investigate, and only then did he find out more.

"The Hou Mansion's business is so good, it's not entirely a good thing."

"Yes, Master, the prince's business is very bleak right now." Even Teng Xi felt a little sorry for the prince.
