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

Seeing the old lady's disappointment towards her, she suddenly panicked.

"Mother……"

Song Ling'er caught up with the old lady, she looked panicked.

The old lady looked at Song Ling'er's hand holding her arm, her cold eyes full of disappointment.

After a while, the old lady gently pushed Song Ling'er's hand away, "Ling'er, it's time for you to calm down."

"Mom, is second sister-in-law really this good?"

"Whether Tan Zhixu is good or bad, after all, she is working for our Hou Mansion now, but if you always target her, then you won't be working for the Hou Mansion in the future."

The old lady said coldly, turned and left without looking at Song Linger.

This time, the old lady didn't care about Song Linger anymore.

And Song Ling'er stood there for a long time, so long that the maid beside her couldn't hold on any longer, "Miss?"

After hearing what the maid said, Song Linger came back to her senses and looked at the maid with distracted eyes.

"Have you received any reply from the person you sent?"

Song Ling'er tried not to let herself get angry, but her eyes looked at the maid with a hint of cruelty.

The maid was really frightened by Song Ling'er's expression, and she hesitated for a while before saying a few words.

"Girl, people who went to the west said that the disaster there was more serious. This time, the second lady really contributed a lot. The second lady didn't use her own name during the whole process. She was all doing things in the name of the Hou Mansion. It seems that she was really doing it for her. For the sake of the Hou Mansion.”

"For the sake of the Hou Mansion?"

Song Ling'er snorted coldly, she didn't believe it.

She withdrew her cold eyes and said, "In that case, I should go and see if Tan Zhixu is really so selfless."

When the maid heard Song Ling'er's words, she instantly showed a horrified expression.

Song Ling'er didn't give her much time to think, and went back to the courtyard directly.

After returning to the yard, Song Ling'er became much more honest. She either went to the temple to pray for blessings or helped shopkeeper An Xi in the shop all day long.

The old shopkeeper did not welcome Song Ling'er's reappearance at first, but now seeing her sincere repentance, the attitude of this group of people has also changed.

"Girl, you are actually quite smart. As long as you study hard, you can still surpass the second lady."

Some people who complimented her clearly understood that the old lady liked Song Ling'er as the heir to the Hou Mansion's shop, so they always promoted Song Ling'er and belittled Tan Zhixu in their words.

Although these words were compliments, Song Linger found them very useful.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, Song Ling'er has figured out this group of people. In fact, it is quite simple for them to accept her. After all, she is the eldest girl of the Hou Mansion, and everything in the Hou Mansion belongs to her.

Thinking of this, Song Linger's eyes were full of pride.

"Shopkeeper Xu, you are more sensible. Don't worry, as long as I inherit these shops in the Hou Mansion, we will definitely cooperate more tacitly."

Song Ling'er smiled and continued working with the boy.

At that time, the maid sent to the palace by Song Ling'er also came back.

She winked at Song Linger.

Seeing the maid's eyes, Song Ling'er smiled at Shopkeeper Ji, and then took the maid to the backyard.

The maid looked panicked, looked around, and then leaned over and said: "Girl, I have seen the second prince. The matter in the west is indeed related to the second prince, and from what the second prince said, it seems that the prince is involved. "

Song Ling'er listened intently, and the maid's words made the corners of her mouth raise into a nice arc, "Sure enough, I guessed it right."

She was stunned for a while and then said: "Did you tell the two of you as I said?"

"Yes, don't worry, girl. I have made it clear to you two as you said. His Highness the Crown Prince said that the princess will send you to the west tomorrow." "Okay, this time it depends on who can win between me and Tan Zhixu."

Song Ling'er clenched her hands into fists, with hatred in her eyes.

The next day, the princess ordered her companion Song Ling'er to go to the west for disaster relief instead of her.

It's just that Song Ling'er thought they didn't know anything, but she didn't want Gu Huaijing to receive the news just before the prince and the princess joined forces.

"Master, whether it's the crown prince's people or the second prince's people will come in a while, how will we deal with it?" Teng Xi knew the two princes very well.

The prince, in particular, was very cruel.

Now that they have found so many officials involved in corruption in the west, there is no chance that the prince may have had a hand in it. If his people knew that Gu Huaijing and the others had found so many, then the prince would definitely not let them go. over theirs.

This time Gu Huaijing accepted the order and did these things without worrying about the prince or the prince's revenge, but he was worried about Tan Zhixu.

But it's different now. Tan Zhixu is here, and he has concerns. He must not let Tan Zhixu get hurt along with him.

"Master, are you worried about Miss Tan?"

Teng Xi saw that his master had been thinking about something but didn't answer, so he already had a guess in his mind.

Gu Huaijing still said nothing, but the look in his eyes towards Teng Xi was enough to explain it all.

Teng Xi sighed and scratched his head at a loss.

"Master, how about we let Miss Tan go back first."

"Let me go back? What do you think?"

Tan Zhixu suddenly appeared, which really frightened the two of them, especially Teng Xi, who felt like he had done something wrong and did not dare to look at Tan Zhixu.

Gu Yu suddenly came to Teng Xi, "Do you think my girl is really timid?"

"Of course not, I'm just worried that something will happen to you and Miss Tan."

Teng Xi was forced to retreat by Gu Yu. When he had no way out, he smiled honestly and said, "Miss Gu Yu, I really have no other intentions."

"Gu Yu."

Tan Zhixu called out to Gu Yu, and she immediately turned around, "Girl, we've been here for so long, and Commander Teng still doesn't believe us. Do you think it's irritating or not?"

The more Gu Yu talked, the angrier he became and glared at Teng Xi.

Teng Xi gave up instantly, "I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."

After Teng Xi apologized repeatedly, Gu Yu's mood eased, and then sat aside with him, watching his girl and Mr. Gu continue to discuss the next thing.

"Girl, do you think the eldest girl will come?"

Gu Yu thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would send someone, and suddenly thought of Song Ling'er.

Their spies who stayed in the capital also reported what Song Ling'er had done during this period.

Especially the fact that Song Ling'er's shop in the Hou Mansion almost suffered a loss.

Gu Yu laughed for several days after hearing the news.

Although life in the west was not easy at all, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep for several days.

It was not early in the morning, she got up early.

Tan Zhixu happened to be making some mixtures of herbal medicines, and Gu Yu came along to help.

It is obviously faster for two people to do things together than alone.

Originally, Tan Zhixu planned to spend half a day getting the herbs, but he didn't expect that it only took an hour to complete.
