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

"Then tell me why you want to slander me and me. Although Lord Gu and I have known each other for a long time, we have not crossed the line. You are not only slandering Lord Gu, but also my palace. My husband has long been Death, how do you let me, a widow, live like this?"

The man saw Tan Zhixu's in-depth investigation, and he looked at Zhou with a sudden thought, "Madam, do you have anything to say?"

"What do I have to say? You slandered my brother and sister. I didn't blame you. I just gave you face. Mr. Wang, please take him away. Don't be an eyesore here."

Zhou tried hard not to appear too panicked, but her stumbling words and the man's sudden questioning of her made the people sigh, and some even began to speculate that Zhou was responsible for this incident.

"Master Gu, do you see?"

"Now that we've found out, let's take him away."

"Yes."

After receiving Gu Huaijing's instructions, Mr. Wang asked the boy to drag the man kneeling on the ground up and away.

The man seemed to have foreseen his future and quickly pulled Zhou.

Tan Zhixu was worried that he wouldn't be able to reach Zhou, so he pushed him, and the two of them got closer.

"let go."

"Madam, you can't kill the donkey. It's you..."

"To shut up."

Zhou half-bent and whispered something to the man.

The man turned his eyes and said, "Madam, I don't want to slander our Marquis Mansion. Don't be angry. Second Madam, don't be angry either."

The painting style changed instantly, and Tan Zhixu knew that this must be Zhou's promise to the man.

"Okay, then I will forgive you this time, but I hope you can remember and don't slander others like this just because of the money you paid. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as Mr. Gu and I."

Tan knew that Xu had something to say, and everyone present was not a fool, so they all looked at Zhou.

Zhou's face instantly turned red, her hands clenched into fists, and she wanted to tear Tan Zhixu apart.

"Okay, now that the person who didn't want to do it is gone, then I have to apologize to Mr. Gu on behalf of our Hou Mansion. It's because of me that Mr. Gu's reputation has been damaged. I'm sorry."

Tan Zhixu saluted Gu Huaijing, and when she was half-bending, she looked at Mrs. Zhou beside her, her beautiful eyes full of smiles.

Zhou didn't have time to restrain her expression, and her fierce expression was instantly caught by her.

Realizing that this was inappropriate, Ms. Zhou quickly regained her smile and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to be so generous. Mr. Gu is so kind to us merchants, how can you be really angry?"

"It's exactly what the eldest lady said, but..." Gu Huaijing just finished speaking and looked at Lianxiang, "Is this the eldest lady's maid?"

"Exactly."

When answering Gu Huaijing's words, Mr. Zhou seemed quite confident.

Tan Zhixu raised his eyebrows slightly. Lianxiang and Zhou had discussed the countermeasures. She naturally thought it was perfect, but it was a pity...

"Sister-in-law, you'd better ask Lianxiang to apologize to Mr. Gu. The shop in Mr. Gu's home has just opened, and he said there are herbs that can cause diarrhea. Isn't this a discredit to Mr. Gu?"

After saying that, she took Zhou's hand and said, "Sister-in-law..."

Facing Tan Zhixu's eager eyes, a smile flashed in Zhou's eyes, and she looked at everyone with embarrassment, "This, this, this slave of mine loves to tell the truth, but I don't know whether it is true or not. It’s not easy to say much.”

"Does the sister-in-law want Mr. Gu to handle business matters?"

Their eyes met, and Zhou saw pride on Tan Zhixu's face.

She didn't know what this damn girl was so proud of. Did she know about the herbal medicine?
With this thought flashing through his mind, Zhou shook his head repeatedly and muttered in denial, 'Impossible, how could Tan Zhixu know? ’

"Brothers and sisters, let's leave this matter to Mr. Gu."

"Okay." Tan Zhixu shrugged helplessly, then looked at Gu Huaijing, "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, this slave is from the sister-in-law's yard. Since she said so, I can only trouble you."

"it is good."

Gu Huaijing and Tan Zhixu cooperated flawlessly. After she finished speaking, he started to clean up Lianxiang.

The face that had been standing next to the herbs had those eyes fixed on the herbs.

At this moment, she finally saw clearly that the herb was indeed not hers.

Realizing this, Lianxiang quickly raised her head, but what she faced was Gu Huaijing's handsome face that could not conceal its cold air.

"Gu, Mr. Gu."

Lianxiang instantly knelt on the ground, "Yes, I made a mistake."

"Yes, it is true that you saw it wrong, but I would like to know, why did you know that I buried the herbs here?"

Gu Huaijing's questioning voice was so cold that it penetrated into one's bones.

Lenovo did not dare to raise his head, only trembled, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Zhou.

With just one glance, Zhou knew that something was messed up and things were messed up again.

"Lianxiang, what's the matter with you? You were talking nonsense just now and you are talking nonsense now?"

Mrs. Zhou wanted to know what was going on, but Lianxiang only cried and said no more words.

The whispers covered up Lianxiang's cries. Gu Huaijing looked at Tan Zhixu and saw her nodding to him. He cleared his throat to interrupt all the sounds.

After a moment of silence, Gu Huaijing saluted everyone.

Seeing this, the people and officials followed suit and saluted.

"Everyone, it's my honor for you to show Gu some face today, so I asked Teng Xi to bury herbs in all corners of the yard. These herbs were all bought at the medicine hall a few days ago, right on the street corner. It’s better to ask Mr. Wang to ask for Shopkeeper Liu.”

"No need to come, Master Gu, I'm here."

Shopkeeper Liu had been invited by Teng Xi from the beginning. Gu Huaijing said this just for show.

"Okay, could you, Shopkeeper Liu, tell everyone what this herb is?"

Gu Huaijing made a gesture of invitation, and shopkeeper Liu also came to the crowd. He took the herbs directly into his hands, "May I ask, is there a doctor here?"

"I'm."

"Me too."

Many people raised their hands, and Shopkeeper Liu nodded, "Please come forward. Let's tell everyone present what this herb is."

"Shopkeeper Liu, actually we don't even need to come forward to know what this herb is."

"That's right, this herb is too easy to identify, but distance is needed."

Several doctors, some old and some young, all agreed with what one of them said.

Shopkeeper Liu chuckled, "Yes, this herb is too common. It is mugwort that calms the nerves and makes people feel refreshed. It can also repel insects."

"Correct."

All the doctors said they were right, Lianxiang's body was like a sieve, "It's all my fault. It's my fault. It's my fault. It's my fault. It's my bad thoughts. It's my fault that I think Lord Gu is a villain..."

Lianxiang placed all the blame on herself.

Tan Zhixu also expected it. After all, Zhou's methods were not something that these maids could bear. If they didn't admit it, their family members might have to pay for it with their lives.
