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

Chapter 258 Dissatisfaction and malicious slander

When she saw the content of the letter, she was a little confused.

After thinking for a moment, Song Ling'er said coldly, "Mother, does Tan Zhixu take herself too seriously? She is a good person who uses the money of our Marquis Mansion to be a good person. She has taken all this good thing by herself."

Thinking of the injustice she had suffered in the shop since Tan Zhixu went to the west, she felt aggrieved.

Tan Zhixu was gone, and the old lady had no intention of letting the Zhou family take over the shop again, so the whole stall in the Hou Mansion was given to Song Ling'er.

When Song Ling'er heard that she could go to the shop for the time being, she smiled.

She thought that she could do better than Tan Zhixu, that she could feel proud, and that she could add the title of businesswoman to her reputation as a talented woman.

Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, not only did she not let her reputation spread, she even made many shopkeepers have opinions, and even this group of people had found the old lady.

The old shopkeepers who usually could only be seen during festivals were now in Jing'an Hall. At the beginning of the period, the old lady didn't know what was going on, but as they started talking, the old lady came back to her senses.

"Old Madam, we all know that you have always been fair. Now that the Second Madam has gone out to 'expand the territory', we have no objection to the Marquis's shop being managed by the eldest girl, but..."

The shopkeeper who took the lead looked at a loss, but after thinking about it, he said it.

"The eldest lady doesn't have any good skills in business, and sometimes she even makes wrong decisions. You may think that we have many questions about the eldest lady because the second wife was too indulgent to us before. I support it, but it’s actually not real. This is the shop’s revenue, and you can understand it at a glance.”

The old shopkeeper stepped forward at the risk of being punished.

Aunt Huang took the account book given by the old shopkeeper.

The old lady frowned and looked through the accounts. She didn't think much about it before. She even thought that, as the old shopkeeper said, it was because he looked down on Ling'er that he belittled her.

But when she really finished reading, she couldn't help but look at these old shopkeepers.

Meeting the old lady's gaze, several people sighed helplessly.

"Old madam, the reason why the revenue has dropped is because of the rules and policies imposed by the girl, which made all the ladies no longer want to come to our shop."

"Follow Tan's previous rules."

"Yes."

As soon as the old shopkeeper here left, Song Ling'er was called to Jing'an Hall.

She was still a little reluctant when she came up, "Mother, didn't the baby just greet you this morning? What are you doing with the baby at this time?"

While she was talking, Song Ling'er took her seat and completely ignored the old lady's livid face.

Of course the old lady did all this for Song Ling'er, but she started drastic reforms as soon as she took over the shop. Isn't this tantamount to telling outsiders that there is disharmony in the Hou Mansion?

"Ling'er, why don't you let those shops continue to sell items according to the previous rules?"

"Mother, do you know how Tan Zhixu sells items? She offers so many discounts, and it's simply a loss-making business."

As soon as the old lady said this, Song Ling'er became anxious and slandered Tan Zhixu.

But as she spoke excitedly, the old lady's face became increasingly ugly.

Even when Song Ling'er said that Tan Zhixu should die, she immediately jumped up and said, "That's enough."

"Mother, you, are you mean to me?"

Song Linger looked at the old lady in disbelief.

His mother is now murdering him for an outsider. This has never happened before.

Song Ling'er had tears in her eyes and her body was shaking, "Mother, you, you..."

"Ling'er, after creating so many innate conditions for you, how can you still be found in trouble by those old shopkeepers?"

The old lady couldn't believe it either.

In her eyes, Song Ling'er has always been something to be proud of and is the future of the Hou Mansion. However, after such a long time and so many things, she is now a little disappointed with her own expectations. Facing her mother's disappointment, Song Ling'er was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Madam, madam, someone from the court is here."

At this time, the housekeeper hurried in from outside.

After hearing what the housekeeper said, the old lady looked panicked and quickly looked at Aunt Huang.

Aunt Huang quickly stepped forward and helped the old lady up. The group of people said nothing and went directly to the yard.

The people who came this time were the same people as last time. When they saw the old lady, they were familiar with the road and directly announced the decree.

The meaning of the decree is obvious, that is, the emperor wants to reward the Hou Mansion.

This time the western region suffered a disaster, the second wife of the Hou Mansion donated all the money and materials she brought out. This was a righteous move.

"The old lady of the Hou Mansion has made meritorious service in education, and the special reward is as follows..."

The internal officer who announced the decree reported all the zhenqi jewels.

The old lady's face changed from surprised to full of smiles.

""I miss you so much and thank you so much for your love..."

The old lady was so excited.

After seeing off the officials, the old lady looked at the zhenqi jewelry all over the yard. She was so excited that she almost fainted.

Look at Song Ling'er again. She saw that the old lady received a letter from Tan Zhixu before, saying that she had done good deeds in the name of the Hou Mansion. She also said that Tan Zhixu wanted to make a good name for herself.

But now?

Does this mean that Tan Zhixu did not use the name of worthiness, but completely used the name of the Hou Mansion.

"Tan Shi really didn't disappoint me."

"Mother, she is an outsider after all."

Song Ling'er didn't like it. She didn't like seeing her mother's loving expression towards Tan Zhixu.

No, mother's expression shouldn't be directed at Tan Zhixu, it should be directed at herself.

Under Song Ling'er's furious gaze, the old lady looked at her coldly, her eyes seeming to say: Can't you still understand so many things?

"Mother, because you have obtained these things, you feel that your daughter is not as good as Tan Zhixu, right?"

Song Ling'er looked at the old lady with tears in her eyes.

At this time, the old lady didn't have much to say. She just looked at Song Ling'er with disappointment, and then asked Aunt Huang to put everything away.

"Half of these things are kept by Tan Zhixu, and the other half are placed in Jing'an Hall."

"Yes."

Aunt Huang is quite in favor of the old lady's decision. After all, these rewards are all because of Tan Zhixu.

"Mother……"

"Okay, I'm tired and need to rest."

The old lady waved and entered the inner hall. When she walked to the door, she did not forget to take a look at Song Ling'er, "Ling'er, please don't worry about those shops in the Hou Mansion. I'll wait until you study hard before you go." It's all yours after all, don't worry."

The old lady said there was no rush, but Song Ling'er knew that she would not bother to get the management rights of these shops for a while.

Seeing her mother being so disappointed in her, Song Ling'er's hatred for Tan Zhixu had reached its peak.
