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

She was sure that Mrs. Zhang and General Zhang would be prepared, so she left with peace of mind.

According to the information obtained from Mrs. Zhang, for now, Gu Huaijing is fine.

With this good news, Tan Zhixu's pace back went much faster.

The backyard of the Hou Mansion.

Guyu sat in the pavilion waiting for Tan Zhixu. She was so groggy that she almost fell asleep.

Hearing the rustling footsteps, she stood up suddenly.

Seeing that the visitor was Tan Zhixu, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief, "Girl, you are finally back. You have no idea how scary you were just now."

"what happened?"

As soon as Tan Zhixu arrived in front of Guyu, the girl couldn't stand firmly and almost fell down.

She quickly supported Gu Yu.

Seeing this, Gu Yu showed an honest smile, "Girl, this slave has been sitting for too long, and now he cannot stand firmly."

Seeing Gu Yu's silly smile, Tan Zhixu shook his head helplessly, "You, I asked you to stare a little bit, why didn't you really just stare like that?"

She really didn't know what to say, so she helped Gu Yu into the house, and then asked her what happened just now, so much so that she almost revealed her secret.

"Girl, Grandma Huang came here not long after you left. She said that the old lady fell asleep and wanted to ask if you were asleep. If not, you could relax with her."

As soon as these words came out, Tan Zhixu's eyes were full of doubts.

This old lady usually goes to bed early, why is she still not sleeping at this hour today?

"What did you say?"

"My slave said that you, girl, have been traveling all night and will be fast asleep by now."

Guyu looked at Tan Zhixu and immediately said, "Don't worry, I also said some polite words. I told Aunt Huang that if the old lady really can't sleep, I will wake the girl up."

Upon hearing this, Tan Zhixu couldn't help but smile happily at Gu Yu.

This girl is getting more and more powerful.

Although Aunt Huang came to see her and said that the old lady needed it, she knew that the people in the Hou Mansion still wanted to save face. Naturally, they would not do something like asking their daughter-in-law to get up and talk to them to relieve their boredom when she couldn't sleep. Come.

Ever since, Grandma Huang left.

However, just as Guyu breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou came.

Zhou is a person who doesn't play by the rules. When she saw Gu Yu, she clamored to see Tan Zhixu.

"Aunt Zhou, my girl is very tired now. Do you have to break in at this hour? Do you have something important that you have to say now?"

Gu Yu was rude to Mrs. Zhou. She used to be the wife of the eldest family member of the Hou Mansion, but now she is just the aunt of the eldest family member. Gu Yu would not give her a good look.

Zhou was not a fool. She saw the disgust in Gu Yu's eyes, and she was immediately dissatisfied, "Why are you so arrogant? You are just a maid, how dare you do this to me?"

"Aunt Zhou, this slave is the eldest maid in front of Miss Tan. Compared with you, this slave has quite a lot of say in this second-bedroom courtyard."

Yes, in the house of a high-ranking official, the aunt's status is actually quite low. At best, she only has a good reputation.

If she can bring incense to the master, she will be taken seriously. Otherwise, she will be just a maid.

And a maid like Gu Yu is valued by Tan Zhixu, so when she speaks in the second room, she represents Tan Zhixu.

Now of course Zhou couldn't refute what she said, so she could only get angry.

Gu Yu saw Zhou's dissatisfaction, and she smiled, "Aunt Zhou, if you have nothing to do, please go back first and come back tomorrow."

"Okay, great, just wait for me."

Zhou gave Gu Yu a vicious look before turning around and leaving.

After seeing Mrs. Zhou off, Gu Yu's back was already wet.

In this way, she cheered up and waited for Tan Zhixu to come back. "Song Ling'er didn't come?"

Tan Zhixu suddenly opened his mouth, and Gu Yu opened his mouth wide and looked at her in disbelief, "You, how did you know?"

really.

Gu Yu's words made Tan Zhixu's face darken.

The reaction of everyone in the Hou Mansion is wrong and there is a big problem.

"Girl, what did you think of?"

Gu Yu was frightened by Tan Zhixu's expression.

At this moment, her face was gloomy, and her brows and eyes were full of anger, hinting at an expression she had never seen before.

She looked sideways at Gu Yu and saw that the girl was frightened. She forced a smile and said, "It's okay. You can go find the maid in Jing'an Hall and ask if the old lady did anything unusual today."

"Yes."

After Gu Yu received the order, he was about to find someone, but unexpectedly the maid came by herself.

This was all in vain, and her arrival made Gu Yu a lot more wary.

"How did you come?"

The maid came here to slander her. When Guyu found out, she couldn't help but be shocked, "Miss Guyu, why are you here?"

"I didn't plan to look for you, why are you here?" Gu Yu looked around warily.

The recent things that happened in the Hou Mansion were so strange that she had to be cautious. She didn't want to be the one who held the girl back.

The maid from Jing'an Hall also looked around. Finally, after both of them were sure that nothing happened, they found a rockery and started to communicate with each other.

"Really?"

After the maid finished speaking, Gu Yu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The maid nodded, "If this were not the case, I would not have come to see the Second Madam all night."

"okay, I get it."

This time, Gu Yu did not ask Tan Zhixu to give her any instructions and was not stingy. He gave her all the money in his wallet.

After getting what she wanted, the maid left with satisfaction, and Gu Yu also hurriedly returned to the courtyard of the second room.

"Girl, as you thought, someone has really involved you and Mr. Gu. Now the old lady still has a wait-and-see attitude, but if you try too hard this time, the old lady will definitely become suspicious."

"okay, I get it."

It was something that was expected, but Tan Zhixu didn't have much to worry about.

After all, what I do is always done in private, so I don't worry about the people in the Hou Mansion thinking too much.

After soothing Guyu, Tan Zhixu fell into a deep sleep.

Song Ling'er came early the next morning.

"Second sister-in-law, I heard something happened to Mr. Gu Huaijing. Didn't you meet him in the west? How much money must he have embezzled to make the emperor furious?"

Song Ling'er frowned, and the unhappiness between her brows and eyes almost overflowed.

Seeing this, Tan Zhixu pretended to shake his head helplessly, "Ling'er, I really don't know about this matter. When I first knew there was a disaster in the west, I just wanted to make a good name for our Marquis Mansion, so I contributed money and effort, and the rest I didn’t pay too much attention to him. On the day of Master Gu’s accident, I had already gone to another town..."

She responded to Song Linger's questions calmly.

Therefore, Song Ling'er didn't have much to say, she just kept saying that Gu Huaijing really couldn't think about it.

Tan Zhixu showed no expression throughout the whole process, just giving a simple response as usual.

Seeing that she couldn't get anything from Tan Zhixu, Song Ling'er suppressed her doubts and left directly.
