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

As soon as these words came out, Zhou froze on the spot.

My thoughts returned to the past, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Mrs. Zhou gave Tan Zhixu a silly smile, and then looked at the seat of Jing'an Hall. After a moment of silence, a smile appeared on her lips, "Ms. Tan, thank you."

Today's Zhou is much kinder than before.

But Tan Zhixu didn't believe that Zhou had improved at all. She had been complimenting everyone during this period, and even the eldest maid in the house was respected by Zhou.

The old lady was infected by Zhou's changes, and after some thought she took a few shops from Tan Zhixu.

For this matter, Tan Zhixu was called to Jing'an Hall by the old lady.

"Ms. Tan, don't blame me for this..."

The old lady said it seriously, as if she was really apologizing to Tan Zhixu.

But Tan Zhixu found out that the old lady didn't feel that she had done anything wrong at all, and even thought that if Tan Zhixu was looking for trouble, she could take the opportunity to suppress her.

Since she came back from the west, the people in the Hou Mansion have been enjoying the honor she brought, but at the same time they are worried that she will take away all the glory of the Hou Mansion.

The old lady's operation was intentional.

Tan Zhixu naturally knew, but she was not anxious at all.

She expected that things would develop like this, after all, the old lady was like this too.

When using people, they still worry that their superior achievements will overwhelm their master.

"Mother, don't worry, the Marquis Mansion belongs to you. I am just trusting you to take care of a few more shops. If you have other plans, my daughter-in-law will naturally support you..."

Tan Zhixu held the old lady's hand gently and kindly.

Seeing that Tan Zhixu was so considerate, the old lady nodded with satisfaction, "Mr. Tan, you are still sensible."

The old lady praised Tan Zhixu for a long time before letting Mr. Zhou come forward.

"Ms. Zhou, although you are asked to take care of this shop, you must understand that you are only responsible for taking care of it. Don't do the same as before..."

Mrs. Zhou was pointed at the nose by the old lady and scolded her. She lowered her head humbly, "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows. Don't worry, mother."

After discussion, Tan Zhixu and Zhou left Jing'an Hall together.

After walking out of the yard, Mrs. Zhou glanced at Tan Zhixu with a smile, "Mr. Tan, let's each rely on our own abilities this time."

When their eyes met, Tan Zhixu saw Zhou's cold eyes, which had never changed. She nodded, "Yes."

Tan Zhixu turned his back to Zhou and left, walking briskly.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Tan Zhixu's back, the resentment in her eyes could not be dissipated for a long time.

When they returned to the yard, Gu Yu rushed to her and said, "Girl, is this old lady a bit offended?"

Facing Gu Yu's resentful eyes, Tan Zhixu raised his hand and patted her hand gently, "Okay, don't be angry. Now we just let Mr. Zhou take care of a few shops. How can I, your girl, do it because of the lack of money?" You can’t make any money with just a few shops?”

"Definitely not. Girl, you are so powerful. Even if you are missing a few items, it will not affect your ability to make money." Gu Yu vowed and winked at Tan Zhixu.

After appeasing Guyu, Tan Zhixu went to the old lady's store to make arrangements for Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou's attitude in the shop became aloof again, and even the maids around her were "feeling proud". It’s true that there are just as many slaves as there are masters.

"Ms. Tan, haven't these shops improved at all under your control? Oh, it's really pathetic."

Mrs. Zhou looked at Tan Zhixu confidently, as if she had done something embarrassing.

Zhou said this so loudly that Tan Zhixu had no room to refute, because many people who came to the shop stopped to look at them.

Maybe the look in her eyes made Ms. Zhou feel a little carried away. She crossed her shoulders and cleared her throat arrogantly, "Ms. Tan, I'm not talking about you. As the second wife of the Hou Mansion, why are you so rude? After all, I am Madam of the Hou Mansion, it’s okay if you don’t know how to salute me when you see me. Now you don’t know that you don’t look down on the people who come here. Do you know that the reason why the shop in the Hou Mansion can be sustained is because of our old owners?”

Zhou's brows were frivolous, and he was as proud as he wanted to be.

However, when she looked at the people around her, she did not see dissatisfaction with Tan Zhixu on their faces. On the contrary, they looked at her as if they were a fool.

At this moment, Ms. Zhou thought she had made a mistake. She rubbed her eyes. When she looked over again, the people had already dispersed to figure out what to do.

Seeing that her words had no deterrent effect, Zhou looked at Tan Zhixu unhappily.

Tan Zhixu, however, looked calm, "Sister-in-law, this shop has been handed over to you, and the connection is now complete. If nothing happens, I will leave first."

"Okay, let's go."

Zhou and Tan Zhixu's voices were both quiet.

When the people heard this, they looked at each other and said to Tan Zhixu: "Second Madam, will you not take care of the shop in the Marquis Mansion from now on?"

"Yes, my sister-in-law will take care of it from now on."

After Tan Zhixu finished speaking, he turned around and left, not wanting to say any more nonsense to Mr. Zhou.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Zhou came to a few people with a smile and said, "Everyone, I am in charge of these shops today. If you purchase more than three items today, you will get one item as a gift."

The people who were a little confused at first suddenly brightened their eyes, but some people still remembered what happened before.

The man frowned and looked at Mrs. Zhou, "Madam, if I remember correctly, you also gave such gifts in the embroidery workshop, but then you didn't let us buy them. This time you won't return them. Is it the same as before?”

"Of course not. I was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives at first, but this time I sincerely want to make the Marquis Mansion's shop better and bring you benefits at the same time."

Zhou said seriously. Those people gave them a look and started to choose.

Later, Mrs. Zhou really gave the gift as she promised.

Starting from that day, the business of the shops under Zhou's control was good for several days. Tan Zhixu was not in a hurry. Even when they went to the old lady's place, Zhou showed off that he was managing the shop better than she was. Even if business is good, she always has an indifferent expression.

But Ms. Zhou felt that it was not enough and directly provoked, "Sister-in-law, why don't you know how to study with me? Don't you know that business requires skills?"

At this point, Mrs. Zhou sighed, "That's right. You are in charge of so many shops now, so it is reasonable that you don't know how to run them for a while, but I am not the kind of stingy person, you..."

"enough."

Finally, after Mrs. Zhou said three or five sentences, the old lady couldn't stand it any longer and looked at Mr. Zhou with a frown, "Don't be so cocky. I just asked you to take over the shop. You will sell and give away. There is nothing to show off."

Zhou was speaking vigorously, and when the old lady said something, she was instantly stunned and opened her mouth, but no words came out.

After a while, Ms. Zhou suppressed her anger and said, "I understand, mother."
