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

"I, Song Yunxi, don't care about this. Now you are my aunt, and Lian'er is also my aunt. If you don't treat me well, then Lian'er will be the mistress of my palace in the future. I still have a mistress after all, and you..."

There was no need for Song Yunxi to say the rest. Zhou naturally knew what he meant.

Zhou froze on the spot, but Song Yunxi turned around and left.

After he left, it took Zhou a while to react.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Song Yunxi's back fiercely, "Song Yunxi, just wait, I will make you regret it sooner or later."

After completely losing sight of Song Yunxi, Mrs. Zhou clenched her hands into fists and hurried to her yard with her maid.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhou saw Lian'er as soon as she arrived in the yard.

The little bitch with a big belly stroked her belly with her hand, "Ms. Zhou, you and I are now the aunt of the eldest family of the Hou Mansion. Who among you and me can become the wife of the eldest chamber in the future?"

While saying this, Lian'er kept stroking her belly, for fear that Mr. Zhou wouldn't be able to see her movements.

Zhou was so angry that her whole body was trembling, "Little bitch, just wait, do you think you can be more valuable than your son?"

"Ms. Zhou, you'd better hope that my child is fine. If something happens, you will be the murderer."

Lian'er approached Zhou and whispered such words.

With just this sentence, Zhou's face fell instantly, her body was shaking like chaff, but Lian'er turned around and left proudly.

This time Zhou realized that she was completely screwed.

Back in the yard, Zhou sat on a chair dully and said nothing.

Forsythia met the other maids a few times, and finally plucked up the courage to come to Zhou, "Madam?"

In response to Forsythia's soft call, Zhou raised her eyes and said, "Get out."

"Yes."

Fortunately, he didn't get beaten this time, otherwise Forsythia would really regret it.

The maids dispersed one after another, and Ms. Zhou sat there stupidly all day. It was not until dinner time that she went to Tan Zhixu's courtyard.

Tan Zhixu, who had just returned to the courtyard, knew that Mrs. Zhou had been reduced to the aunt of the Hou Mansion. Just as he was about to laugh, he saw Mrs. Zhou's cowardly figure.

"Brothers and sisters..."

Mrs. Zhou came to Tan Zhixu with a shy face and a smile on her face, "Brother and sister, you have worked hard these days..."

Facing such attentive Mrs. Zhou, Tan Zhixu showed no expression. He still lowered his head to eat, and occasionally asked Gu Yu to eat with him.

"Gu Yu, you've been busy these days, so hurry up and eat something!"

"Yes."

Gu Yu sat next to Tan Zhixu obediently.

Seeing this, Ms. Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to sit with her. However, with Tan Zhixu's look, Gu Yu instantly stood up and stopped her, "Aunt Zhou, we girls don't like to dine with outsiders. Please tell us something."

Mrs. Zhou originally had a smile on her face, but when she heard this, she immediately froze on the spot, in disbelief, "You, a servant of yours dare to say that to me now?"

"Aunt Zhou, you are not a servant who deliberately treats me, she is my sister."

Zhou was angry, but she knew that low status meant such treatment.

Even if Gu Yu is just a servant, as long as her master promotes her, she will be favored more than her, an aunt.

Zhou held the hands hidden in her sleeves tightly, "Brother and sister, I know it was my fault this time, but my mother has already punished me severely, are you still angry?"

"I have never been angry from the beginning to the end, and it is not because of me that my mother punished you." Tan Zhixu put down his chopsticks and looked at Mr. Zhou seriously, "Don't you think that all this is my fault?"

"Of course not, I just..." Mrs. Zhou chuckled helplessly and glanced at Tan Zhixu, "Brother and sister, please and mother, can you please beg for me?"

"Aunt Zhou, this is going to be difficult for you. I don't dare to argue against my mother's decision."

"But my good first wife has now become my aunt, so how can I go out?"

"Then don't go out!"

Tan Zhixu replied lightly, and Zhou was instantly choked and speechless.

After a long silence, Mrs. Zhou knelt on the ground and said, "Brother and sister, I beg you."

"Aunt Zhou, you don't really think that my mother will listen to me if I say anything, do you?" Tan Zhixu frowned slightly, "After all, you and I are outsiders in the Marquis Mansion. If I stand up for you, my mother will definitely listen to me." Blame me, why am I asking for trouble?"

"If you beg my mother for me, I will definitely repay you in the future."

Mrs. Zhou looked at Tan Zhixu swornly, as if her repayment was a great thing.

Tan Zhixu couldn't help but smile, "Aunt Zhou, instead of begging me, you might as well beg Ling'er. You've made the Hou family lose face this time. It's natural for mother to punish you. If I go to beg mother , mother will say that just like you, I also want the Hou Mansion to lose face."

"No, it won't happen. You have made so much money for the Hou Mansion now, and mother will not blame you."

Zhou kept defending.

After hearing this, Tan Zhixu stepped forward and helped Mr. Zhou up, "Aunt Zhou, so many people have seen what you did today. If mother doesn't punish you, then won't everyone be able to suspect our Marquis Mansion?" Now, do you think mother will ask for your mercy?"

"I saw you doubting me at the venue, and I was very sad, but I know that you and I are a family after all. I wanted to save you, but you... alas..."

Tan Zhixu didn't need to say more about the rest of the words, Zhou would naturally understand.

Indeed, when she saw the envoys from other countries, Tan Zhixu stopped her from speaking more than once, but at that time she had no idea that things would develop to this point.

When Mr. Zhou lowered his head and blamed himself, Tan Zhixu sighed, "Sister-in-law, go find Ling'er."

At this time, Tan Zhixu looked at Mr. Zhou with sincere eyes.

Zhou was moved by Tan Zhixu for a moment and realized how wrong she had been to do right by Tan Zhixu in the past.

"Brothers and sisters, it was all my fault in the past."

"Sister-in-law, you and I are both outsiders. I have already said that we should help each other, but you...well, we are all destined to die after all."

After saying this, Tan Zhixu was very hurt and waved to Gu Yu to send him away.

This time Zhou did not stay here for nothing, but left Tan Zhixu's courtyard obediently.

As soon as she left, Gu Yu looked at Tan Zhixu angrily, "Girl, you don't really sympathize with Zhou, do you?"

"I'm not stupid, why should I sympathize with her?"

Tan Zhixu shook his head, "Hurry up and sit down to eat. If I didn't say that, would Zhou be able to leave? Can you and I have a good meal? What a silly girl."

"Oh."

After making sure that the girl was not fooled by Zhou's few words, Gu Yu smiled like a flower.

The master and the servant left the house after dinner. During the day, they were communicating with businessmen, but the evening was the highlight.

In order to show his love for the merchants in the capital, the emperor specially held a banquet. The merchants who sold the best today would receive invitations, and the Marquis Mansion was naturally among the invitees.
