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

Seeing that Teng Xi agreed so quickly, Tan Zhixu smiled and simply continued working.

After finishing the work at hand, Tan Zhixu just planned to let the workers take a rest, but a group of people rushed in, and the leader was Zhou.

The furious Zhou looked like he was going to kill someone.

Tan Zhixu bowed calmly, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"Tan Zhixu, what do you mean?"

Mrs. Zhou pointed at her with a look as if she wanted to eat someone.

Seeing this, Tan Zhixu raised his eyes coldly and said, "Sister-in-law, you brought so many people here, do you want to cause trouble?"

"Tan Zhixu, do you still remember that you are the second wife of the Hou Mansion?"

Before Zhou finished speaking, he looked at Teng Xi who was behind Tan Zhixu, "Who is he?"

"Sister-in-law, you already know this, why do you still ask like this?"

Tan Zhixu looked at Zhou calmly, his eyes calm as if there was nothing he could defeat.

Faced with such an expression, Mr. Zhou felt a little dull and confused, thinking: Is Tan Zhixian not afraid?
With such doubts, she looked at Tan Zhixu in a daze, "You have the nerve to ask me? Do you need me to say more about your relationship with Tengxi?"

"Then sister-in-law, you'd better say more."

"Tan Zhixu..."

Zhou roared angrily, and a smile appeared on Tan Zhixu's face, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"

"Outsiders say that you have a secret affair with your foreigner, but you are still going to deny it yourself?"

"Admit it? Sister-in-law, you said I had a secret meeting with my foreigner?"

Tan Zhixu pretended to be surprised and looked at Zhou, her eyes were very hurt, and she even staggered back a few steps. It was Gu Yu who stepped forward to help her, preventing her from falling.

Seeing this, Ms. Zhou sneered and said, "Why, I can't bear it when my thoughts are exposed."

"Sister-in-law, I have worked hard for the Hou Mansion, but now you frame me like this?"

Before she finished speaking, she was already crying.

"Ms. Zhou, you are so presumptuous."

Teng Xi was furious and drew his sword directly towards Zhou.

Zhou shrank her neck in fear.

"Are you saying that I have an affair with the Second Madam? Are you trying to ruin my future, or are you planning to make it impossible for the Second Madam to look up to others again?"

"Commander Teng, I should be asking you this. What do you mean by being in our Marquis's shop every day? Are you feeling guilty when you ask me?"

"Confused?"

Teng Xi sneered and looked at the group of people behind Zhou.

Among this group of people were the servants of the Hou Mansion, the people around him, and the shopkeepers of the nearby shops.

Several of them were already whispering.

"Isn't it possible that this second lady really has some collusion with Commander Teng?"

"I look like it!"

"That's right. If not, why would Commander Teng be here?"

These words all entered Teng Xi's ears word for word.

He waved the boy behind him to come to him, "Agreement?"

"Yes."

"See for yourself."

Teng Xi unfolded the agreement and looked at everyone expressionlessly, "Why I appeared here is clearly written on it..."

The good-hearted person took a few steps forward and instantly saw the contents of the agreement.

The names of Gu Huaijing and Tan Zhixu suddenly appeared.

The name was written clearly, and it clearly stated that Gu Huaijing bought these two shops, and Tan Zhixu was hired to renovate them. Teng Xi cooperated, and the price was clearly marked with a time limit.

"Tan Zhixu, did you sell the shop?"

"Why can't it be sold?"

"This is my dowry." Mrs. Zhou was so anxious that she started to stamp her feet.

Tan Zhixu said calmly, "Sister-in-law, you gave me this shop, why can't I sell it?"

Faced with Tan Zhixu's rhetorical question, Zhou was speechless.Those around who criticized Tan Zhixu began to criticize Zhou.

For a moment, Mrs. Zhou felt ashamed, her face turned red, and she hesitated but could not argue.

Tan Zhixu saw Zhou's embarrassment, took a step forward and approached Zhou, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Sister-in-law, you slander me so much, what do you think my mother will do if I tell her?"

"you……"

Zhou's throat tightened and she was speechless for a moment.

When Ms. Zhou looked at Tan Zhixu blankly, a cold look flashed between her eyebrows.

At this moment, Zhou seemed to have come to his senses, "Are you framing me?"

"Sister-in-law, what you said is clearly because you framed me. How come I framed you?"

Tan Zhixu deliberately raised his voice, and those around him began to criticize Zhou.

Zhou grabbed Tan Zhixu's arm and said, "Okay."

"Everyone, please leave. This is our own family matter."

As Tan Zhixu spoke up, the good people dispersed one after another.

After a while, only Zhou and others were left here.

Tan Zhixu winked at Teng Xi, who snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and looked at the young man, "Let's go, give the Second Madam and the First Madam some time."

"Yes."

The boy and the other workers followed Tengxi and left.

Watching the people in the shop disperse, Mrs. Zhou looked at Tan Zhixu fiercely, "Why did you sell the shop? If my mother knew about it, would she stand by me?"

"Of course not."

Tan Zhixu looked at Zhou confidently.

The moment their eyes met, Zhou felt that Tan Zhixu seemed to be fully prepared.

After a long silence, Mrs. Zhou said coldly: "Have you told mother?"

"You'll know if you ask yourself."

Tan Zhixu was trying to make something mysterious, which made Zhou panic.

Without waiting for Tan Zhixu to say anything else, Zhou took her skirt and returned directly to the Hou Mansion.

She didn't give Nanny Huang time to report, and went directly to Jing'an Hall.

"Mother, mother, you have to make the decision for your daughter-in-law."

"what happened again?"

The old lady had just finished reciting sutras, and when she saw him stumbling in, she frowned subconsciously.

Zhou's eyes were full of tears, and she knelt on the ground, looking very sad.

The old lady raised her forehead and looked at Nanny Huang.

Seeing this, Nanny Huang stepped forward and helped the person up.

"Madam, please get up quickly. If you have anything to say, please say it carefully."

Aunt Huang smiled tenderly, and Ms. Zhou stood up.

The old lady frowned and said, "Go ahead."

Mrs. Zhou burst into tears and talked about how Tan Zhixu deceived her and said she sold the shop.

"Mother, is that the daughter-in-law's dowry? If Tan just sells it, doesn't it make me lose face? And she helped Gu Huaijing dress up, isn't that just a slap in my face?"

Mrs. Zhou cried so hard that she saw the old lady's face getting more and more ugly. She thought it was her words that made the old lady angry with Tan Zhixu.

No, when she opened her mouth to say something else, the old lady interrupted, "That's enough."

"Mother, what's the matter with you?"

Zhou was stunned and looked at the suddenly angry old lady in horror.

The old lady stood up and came to Zhou, "Why did you sell your dowry to Tan?"

"me……"

Mrs. Zhou argued with each other for a long time, but didn't say a word.

"Say, what did you say?" The old lady's face was full of anger, and she didn't look good at all.
