It was not meal time, and there were not many people in the restaurant, but many people saw it, and naturally the waiters also saw it. When they heard the shopkeeper's words, their expressions suddenly changed, and they glanced at Tan Zhixu before saying : "Second Madam, while you were gone, the eldest lady almost destroyed this restaurant!"

The waiter's dissatisfied words attracted the attention of many diners.

Seeing this, Tan Zhixu thought for a while and called the shopkeeper to go upstairs.

Today's episode was really not in her plan, but it was still a scene she wanted to see.

I have been in the west for such a long time. When I came back, Song Ling'er caused trouble. She cleaned up the mess. In the future, everyone in the capital would know who between herself and Song Ling'er was supporting the Hou Mansion till now. Are you human?

The diners downstairs were whispering, and some were even curious and gave the waiter money, asking him to tell him what Song Ling'er had done to make the shopkeeper kneel down to Tan Zhixu and ask for help.

The young man was already dissatisfied with Song Ling'er, but now that he was honest and had money to take, these people even knew it.

Gu Yu has been watching downstairs, and she also told Tan Zhixu about the situation here.

Soon word spread in the capital that the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion was not reliable in her work. While Tan Zhixu was out doing business, she began to suppress the shopkeepers of the shops in the Hou Mansion, and even collected money privately.

At that time, the two people on the second floor of the restaurant knew nothing.

The shopkeeper told him all the grievances he had suffered during this period.

After Tan Zhixu heard this, his brows did not relax.

"You have been suffering during this period, and Ling'er has no other intentions. After all, it is all for the good of the shop..."

"Yes, now that you are back, I am relieved."

"Well, let's check the accounts and compare our income during this period, and then make some adjustments. As for the diners that Ling'er drove away, Gu Yu will then bring people to the door to apologize."

"Hey, okay, okay..."

The shopkeeper knew that when Tan Zhixu came back, his hard life would be over.

Looking at Tan Zhixu now, he felt at ease.

The two reviewed the accounts all day long. When Song Ling'er came angrily, they only saw them looking at the accounts quietly, but she glared at Tan Zhixu.

"Tan Zhixu, did you do this on purpose? You just came back and you started talking about me. You are really vicious. What did you say in the Marquis' Mansion? Are you going to use a knife behind my back now?"

Song Ling'er's furious look was really scary.

Tan Zhixu looked at Song Ling'er who suddenly broke in with a confused look on his face.

"What happened to Ling'er? What's wrong with you?"

Tan Zhixu stepped forward gently and planned to help Song Ling'er, but she pushed Tan Zhixu away.

It was dinner time now, Song Ling'er's appearance and her actions were clearly visible to the bystanders.

Many of these diners have a good relationship with me, and they couldn't sit still when they saw Song Ling'er bullying people like this.

"I said Miss Song, as the second wife's sister-in-law, is this how you treat your own sister-in-law?"

"That's right. I used to think you were well-educated, but I never thought you could be such a cruel and ruthless person. The second lady just came back from the west, and she was there to watch the disaster relief work. You made the shop a mess, and even some of the ingredients were gone. It’s not as fresh as before, but now you’re still looking for the second lady?”

There were both men and women in the restaurant, and everyone's accusations made Song Ling'er unable to sit still.

She frowned and looked at a few people, then looked at Tan Zhixu, "Second sister-in-law, did you do this on purpose?"

"Ling'er, what do you mean by this? I have been checking accounts with the shopkeeper here. Now you come to the restaurant and show your face. I really don't know what to do."

Tanzhi Xu Chuchu looked at Song Linger pitifully.

Song Ling'er opened her mouth, thought for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "That's what you spread, right?"

She turned to look at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked aggrieved when she looked at her like this, "Girl, please don't accuse me unjustly. The young one didn't say a word."

The shopkeeper looked at the others aggrievedly.

Those voices accusing Song Ling'er kept coming one after another.

Looking at Tan Zhixu again, she saw something was wrong and quickly grabbed Song Ling'er, "Ling'er, are there any gossips from outsiders?" "Yes."

Song Linger gritted her teeth and looked at Tan Zhixu.

Tan Zhixu had an expression that understood everything, and then she looked at the diners watching, "Everyone, no matter what the outside world says, Ling'er is the best girl in my house, and I am Ling'er's second sister-in-law. We are a family after all. If there is any misunderstanding, it is just a misunderstanding. I hope you don’t think too much about it..."

After she said it sincerely, everyone was speechless and their admiration for her was beyond words.

After the diners dispersed, Tan Zhixu waved to Gu Yu and asked, "What's going on with Gu Yu?"

"I do not know."

Gu Yu also looked at a loss.

As a result, Tan Zhixu could only look at Song Linger.

Although Song Ling'er didn't want to say those unfavorable remarks about herself anymore, in order to find out the person who spread the rumors, she had to say it.

After she finished speaking briefly, Tan Zhixu's expression suddenly changed, "Who said this? Isn't this slandering our Ling'er?"

Tan Zhixu looked like he felt Song Ling'er had been wronged, and held her hand directly, "Ling'er, don't worry, I will definitely pursue the case."

"No, I just want to know that you really didn't do this?"

Song Ling'er's eyes were fixed on Tan Zhixu, she wanted to capture the information she wanted from her face.

However, Tan Zhixu's calm eyes made her look so sincere.

"It's really not you?"

"Of course not."

Tan Zhixu almost made an oath to Song Ling'er.

"Okay, as long as it's not you." Song Ling'er gave Tan Zhixu a cold look and said nothing else.

Watching Song Ling'er leave, Tan Zhixu gave Gu Yu a look.

"Shopkeeper, you have worked hard today. Go back and rest first."

"Yes."

After being disrupted by Song Ling'er like this, the shopkeeper has no other thoughts now.

He got up and left.

Only Tan Zhixu and Gu Yu were left in the huge accounting room.

Guyu smiled and stepped forward, "Girl, I have to thank the diners and the servants for this."

"Where's the boy?"

"Don't worry, they won't talk too much. Even if they are found, they will bite them to death and refuse to admit it. Besides, the diners will not admit it either."

Guyu vowed to make a promise to Tan Zhixu.

Tan Zhixu looked at the account book in his hand and smiled at Gu Yu, "I gave Song Ling'er such a big gift just after I came back. How happy she is."

"Girl, what's our next step?"

"Stand still."

"Yes."

Tan Zhixu had said so, and Gu Yu naturally said no more.

After looking at each other speechlessly, they all exited the accounting room.

Tan Zhixu returned to the Hou Mansion, and Gu Yu went to the government office.
