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

In Zhou's panicked eyes, Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing came to the crowd.

"I said Mr. Gu, do you own this shop?"

"My Gu family drove it, do you have any objections?"

Gu Huaijing looked coldly at the person who asked, regardless of the show of weakness.

Having been born in the court for many years, Gu Huaijing had already developed a pair of eagle eyes. After he looked at him coldly, he froze in front of him and had no intention of arguing at all.

This person was also arranged by Zhou. Seeing that he was so unworthy of publicity, she was itching with hatred.

While Mrs. Zhou was scratching her head and ears, Tan Zhixu had already arrived in front of her.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Are you here to support Mr. Gu?"

Tan Zhixu had a smile on her face, no matter how much Zhou wanted not to give her a good look, she had no choice but to take care of this scene.

She forced out a smile, took Tan Zhixu's hand, and said in a pretense of intimacy: "Brother and sister, you are here too. It seems that we have thought that as soon as we got out, Mr. Gu used to take good care of our Hou Mansion. Come today." It’s reasonable to support him.”

"Sister-in-law, I don't think Mr. Gu will agree with your words."

Tan Zhixu smiled and looked at Gu Huaijing not far away.

Although he was greeting others, he had been paying attention to Tan Zhixu. Seeing her looking at him, Gu Huaijing looked sideways and asked, "What's the matter, Second Madam?"

"Sir, my sister-in-law said that you have taken good care of our Marquis in the past, so you came here to support me!"

Tan Zhixu looked at Gu Huaijing with a smile.

After hearing this, Gu Huaijing, who had always been stern in front of others, rarely smiled.

"Madam of the Hou Mansion, I am the Admiral of the Capital Canal. Do you think I am biased towards your Hou Mansion?"

"No, no, of course that's not what I meant."

Thinking of Gu Huaijing's cruelty to her before, cold sweat broke out on her back.

Mrs. Zhou forced out a smile and replied lightly. She was still worried that the response was not enough, and she leaned forward and said: "Master Gu can be said to be the father-in-law of our merchants in the capital. Now that the Gu family has this escort shop, what if we have something in the future?" Of course, valuable items can be given away with confidence.”

"That's inevitable."

Teng Xi came to Zhou proudly.

The tall Tengxi instantly gave Zhou a sense of oppression, and she subconsciously took a step back. Before she could say anything, Lianxiang seemed to have gotten some kind of hint, "Second Madam, Mr. Gu, can this herb be a laxative?"

"That's right, Mr. Gu, your shop has just opened, and now you have so many herbs that can cause diarrhea, but you want us to go to the shop next door to buy medicine?"

"Mr. Gu, don't you have any deal with the Medicinal Food Hall?"

One person spoke up, and the rest followed suit.

It's a good thing that what was originally a grand opening ceremony turned into a denunciation meeting for the people of the capital to slander Gu Huaijing.

As the person involved, Gu Huaijing not only showed no signs of anger, but even looked at the whispering crowd with his hands behind his hands.

His calmness made Zhou's face not very pretty.

She frowned at first, then began to think deeply.

Could it be that I missed something?
"Lianxiang, didn't my sister-in-law ever tell you to be careful about what you say outside?"

"Second Madam, what I'm telling you is the truth. What do you mean by this? Are you threatening me?"

As previously agreed, Lianxiang knelt on the ground when Tan Zhixu questioned her, which was very pitiful for Chu Chu.

As Lianxiang knelt on the ground crying, those who accused Gu Huaijing also began to point fingers at Tan Zhixu.

"I think the relationship between the second lady of the Hou Mansion and Mr. Gu is unusual." "It's not ordinary. What's so unusual? Are you slandering Mr. Gu and me? You previously slandered Commander Teng and me, but now you're slandering me and Mr. Gu. Sir, I think you are well prepared."

Tan Zhixu glared at the speaker, and then gave Gu Yu a look.

"Come here, call the officer."

"I'm here."

Before Gu Yu finished speaking, a person not far away stretched out his hand and came directly to the person.

This person was Mr. Wang from the government office. He saluted Gu Huaijing, "Sir Gu, this person has tarnished your relationship with the second wife of the Hou Mansion in front of so many people. The lower officials will definitely punish him severely."

"Master Wang, since there are so many people here today, Master Wang should ask clearly in front of the people, so as to avoid other speculations in the people's minds."

"Yes."

When Gu Huaijing said this, Mr. Wang naturally would not argue.

In response to Gu Huaijing, Mr. Wang asked the government officials to bring the people to the front.

After being exposed in front of others for a moment, the man panicked and looked around with a sly look, and finally his eyes fell on Mr. Zhou.

Seeing this, Tan Zhixu showed a smile on his lips.

Zhou's brain is really running out this time.

"You said that I have a close relationship with Mr. Gu, but tell me, do you have any evidence?"

Tan Zhixu's tone was soft, and his eyes were so soft that he seemed to be looking at someone he knew well.

Maybe her eyes were so friendly that this commoner completely ignored Tan Zhixu's identity. He sneered, "Now I know I'm scared. If you give me money, maybe I..."

"How outrageous, who allowed you to threaten the second wife of the Hou Mansion like this?"

Mr. Wang flicked his sleeves, strode forward and grabbed the people by their collars, "Tell me, do you have any evidence?"

"This, this, I, I have no evidence, but we all know that if Tan Zhixu had not married into the Hou family, he would have married Mr. Gu."

"When you say that, I'm a little confused. Why, I'm going to marry Mr. Gu, and I don't know yet? Mr. Gu, do you know?"

Tan Zhixu looked at Gu Huaijing in confusion.

At that time, Gu Huaijing's expression was not much better, and his cold eyes made the man tremble.

When he wanted to look away from Gu Huaijing, Mr. Wang snorted coldly, "I advise you to tell the truth. This Mr. Gu is not something anyone can slander."

"Mr. Wang, you can't say it's a small frame-up just because Mr. Gu is a minister of the court."

"Then tell me, where is the evidence?"

Tan Zhixu still talked about evidence. She knew that what she said with empty words was not credible. As long as the other party could not produce evidence, the matter would start and end here. Even if the people had speculations in their hearts, they would not believe it. Will go out and talk nonsense.

After all, no one wants to offend Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing.

Under the pressure of Gu Huaijing and Master Wang, the man knelt on the ground with a clang, "Sir, I know I was wrong. I was just making nonsense. I really didn't mean anything else."

The dignified seven-foot-tall man is now crying like a little lady.

His appearance was enough to show that he had no evidence.

"Sir, you were so confident just now, and now you say it's your fault. If you can't explain why, might the people suspect that Mr. Gu and I are threatening you?"

"No, no, I was just talking nonsense."
