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

Just now, she only thought that Tan Zhixu would no longer be supported by the old lady, but she completely forgot that this shop was a private transaction between her and Tan Zhixu.

If the old lady knew about this matter, then she really wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

If she handed over this month's money, she would definitely not be able to hand over so much money next month, but she had also thought of her words. Even if the old lady complained, she would not say anything.

After all, in business, it is normal to have losses and wins.

But now, I really can't explain it clearly.

While Zhou was stunned, the old lady's expression changed several times, "Ahem..."

A slight cough brought Ms. Zhou back to reality. There was an apologetic smile between her eyebrows, and she seemed to be in a very uneasy mood.

"Ms. Zhou, you don't plan to explain? Are you planning to cause trouble for Tan Zhixu?"

There was a touch of sarcasm in the old lady's calm eyes.

As a result, Mrs. Zhou no longer complained at all, "Mom, my daughter-in-law has a deal with her younger siblings. This matter is my daughter-in-law's fault, so I won't bother my mother."

Mrs. Zhou looked at the old lady with a smile but not a smile. When she saw that she did not retort, Mrs. Zhou quickly got up and said, "Mother, if nothing happens, my daughter-in-law will leave first."

As soon as he was talking, Zhou shrank his neck and went out.

She was so afraid that the old lady would call her to stop her that she hurriedly ran out of Jing'an Hall. She was sure that the old lady would not send anyone out, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in her yard, Ms. Zhou became angrier as she thought about it.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't figure out why Tan Zhixu had already responded.

After half a day of contemplation, Zhou still couldn't do anything.

If you can't slander Tan Zhixu, then you can only go to Gu Huaijing.

She still doesn't believe that the current Canal Admiral doesn't care about her reputation?

After thinking about this, Zhou's eyes brightened again.

Canal Admiral's Office.

Gu Huaijing heard from the Yamen servant that the Marquis's wife was visiting. He thought it was Tan Zhixu, so he came directly to the courtyard without caring about official duties.

When he saw that it was Mr. Zhou, his expression suddenly changed, he tightened his clothes and said in a cold voice: "Madam, why are you looking for me?"

"Master Gu, what I am going to say next must be avoided."

Zhou looked at Gu Huaijing with determination.

Gu Huaijing was not afraid of Zhou's proud eyes, but he wanted to know why the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, who was always against Tan Zhixu, came to see him today?

Gu Huaijing calmly led Zhou to the backyard of the government office.

"Madam, please speak."

"Master Gu, my brother and sister gave you my dowry, which is the shop in the western suburbs. What do you think the people in the capital would think if this matter were known?"

"Didn't Madam see everything today? The contract clearly stated that I bought it from the Second Madam at the market price."

Originally, when Tan Zhixu came to him and said that trouble would occur in the Hou Mansion, he didn't think much about it, but now it seems that she must have been framed, so that's why she acted like this.

Gu Huaijing frowned subconsciously when he thought of Tan Zhixu's situation in the Hou Mansion.

This scene fell into Zhou's eyes and made him afraid.

So Zhou became even more unscrupulous and said: "Mr. Gu, please don't lie to me here. You and my brothers and sisters know whether the contract is true or false. Why should you deceive yourself now? Don't worry, I will come to you today. Naturally I don’t want to expose you, I just want to make a deal with you.”

"Oh, what deal?"

Gu Huaijing deliberately pretended to be curious.

Zhou took a step forward and got closer to Gu Huaijing, "Master Gu, as long as you give me 500 taels of gold, will this matter rot in my stomach?"

"Threatening me?" The corners of Gu Huaijing's mouth rose, forming a beautiful arc in an instant.

Seeing Gu Huaijing's smile, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This Gu Huaijing is indeed the young man that a woman in the capital wants to marry. With this face, even her husband can't help but blush when he sees it. .

Looking back, Mrs. Zhou cleared her throat, relieved her emotions and chuckled: "Mr. Gu, what you said is really unjust. I just want mutual benefit."

"Come on."

Before Zhou could finish speaking, Gu Huaijing waved his hand, and the officer suddenly stepped forward.

Zhou's eyes were unblinking, but he didn't know where this group of people came from.

In her panicked eyes, Gu Huaijing said coldly: "Just now, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion threatened me, did you all hear it?"

"Yes."

Several people responded in unison. Zhou was slightly startled, her throat tightened, and she suddenly couldn't say anything.

The yamen officer stepped forward and couldn't help but push Zhou down and go inside.

Seeing that something was wrong, Mrs. Zhou quickly turned back to Gu Huaijing and exclaimed, "Master Gu, Master Gu, there is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Gu Huaijing, who was standing there, slowly turned his head, "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"

"Master Gu, let them let go of me first, and I will talk to you properly."

She never expected that Gu Huaijing would be like this. He was not afraid at all. Could it be that she really was overthinking it? Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing were innocent, and the contract was also true?

After a while, Gu Huaijing waved and the government officials dispersed. Mrs. Zhou quickly ran to him, took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Gu, let them go down."

Gu Huaijing said nothing, but waved.

The government officials withdrew knowingly.

"Tell me what the eldest lady wants to tell me."

"I just misunderstood you, sir. Please tell me how you can calm down."

Zhou had a pious attitude and seemed to really want to gain Gu Huaijing's forgiveness.

This scene instantly reminded Gu Huaijing of what Tan Zhixu had said to him earlier.

"Mr. Gu, my sister-in-law lacks everything. What she lacks most is a heart. Of course she doesn't lack a bad heart. If she comes to you as I said, you should ask her for money, otherwise don't talk."

Thinking of this, a smile flashed between Gu Huaijing's eyebrows.

It was this smile that made Zhou misunderstood. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gu, have you forgive me?"

"Madam, didn't your Marquis say you always respect the officials of the government? Now that I, as the canal admiral, have been so slandered by you, do you think I should forgive you?"

Gu Huaijing's stern face was expressionless, and Zhou's heart was in her throat again.

Mrs. Zhou, who was heartbroken, was stunned for a while before she managed to squeeze out a smile, "Sir, after all, you are an old acquaintance of my brother and sister. Now my brother and sister are helping you repair your shop. You can't be so ruthless, can you?" ?”

"help?"

Gu Huaijing laughed, "I didn't say that I helped. I hired the second lady."

"Yes, yes, it's a job, so you can't stop me from getting off the stage."

"In that case, let's give it 500 taels of gold."

"what?"

Zhou fell down and sat on the ground.

If she had 500 taels of gold, would she still threaten Gu Huaijing?
