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

In a dispute of words, numbers of people will naturally have the upper hand.

Tan Zhixu grasped this point, but Song Ling'er only thought about climbing to the top, ignoring that the public would inevitably be counterattacked.

Not long after this, rumors started to spread in the capital.

This time Tan Zhixu did not do it deliberately, she just let the situation develop naturally. It depends on whether Song Ling'er can resist this time.

Not long after, Gu Yu ran in from outside, panting.

Seeing Guyu like this, a smile flashed in Tan Zhixu's eyes.

"Why, did you hear the remarks about Song Ling'er?"

Nowadays, the tacit understanding between Tan Zhixu and Gu Yu no longer requires too many words. Just a look and a simple word can get what you want.

Gu Yu nodded without saying anything, breathing heavily and giving Tan Zhixu a thumbs up.

"Girl, you are so good at predicting things, shall we wait for the banquet next?"

"That's natural. Song Ling'er has invited so many dignitaries this time. How could we not make good use of it?"

The people in the capital have spread the word, saying that the Hou Mansion is arrogant and only has eyes for the powerful, and does not look down on the officials from small households at all, let alone the ordinary people.

As a result, the wives of officials who were close to Song Ling'er are now starting to back off. If they go to this banquet, they will be looked down upon. If they don't go, the Marquis Mansion will also explain it. Don't go there.

When several ladies were worried and didn't know what to do, Tan Zhixu ordered people to send invitations and invite these ladies to a banquet in the name of the old lady.

"Ladies, don't worry, this matter will never affect you."

This was the promise the old lady gave them. It was a solution that Tan Zhixu came up with in the shortest possible time and was supported by the old lady.

Now the old lady is scolding Song Ling'er, and as for the aftermath, Tan Zhixulai is fully responsible for it.

With such a promise, the ladies no longer have to worry and just dress up and prepare for the dinner.

After being comforted by Tan Zhixu, the wives of those small officials were now ready to go to the Hou Mansion.

People who were familiar with Tan Zhixu in the past were also invited. These were things Song Ling'er had not expected and had not arranged before.

When Tan Zhi Xu Shanhou returned to Jing'an Hall, he heard the old lady's scolding voice.

"Ling'er, let me tell you what's good about you. You were the one who planned such a big thing, and now you've caused so much trouble. You don't want to make things easier for our Marquis Mansion, right?"

Hearing the old lady's angry voice, I couldn't help but sneer.

In the past, the old lady loved this girl the most, but now she would not hesitate to scold her like this for the sake of profit.

Is there no such thing as feeling distressed now?

Tan Zhixu sneered in his heart, but there was no emotion on his face.

After all, the old lady is currently dealing with matters between herself and Song Ling'er. As the daughter-in-law, it is not easy for her to break in, so she simply waits in the courtyard obediently.

He simply listened clearly to the conversation between mother and daughter.

It turns out that Song Ling'er planned to reap the benefits, and the old lady knew it.

It was a good plan to ask Zhou to provide her with money so that Song Ling'er could gain a good reputation.

"Ling'er, mother has paved the way for you. How can you be careless? You don't know that there are many people and there are many right and wrongs?"

The old lady looked at Song Linger with hatred.

Song Ling'er had already started to cry, crying so hard that she burst into tears.

Unfortunately, Tan Zhixu didn't hear the rest of the story. Aunt Huang found her in the yard and hurriedly spoke out.

"Second Madam, you are here."

As Aunt Huang opened her mouth, the sounds in the room suddenly stopped. Tan Zhixu smiled at Aunt Huang and said, "Yes, come to say hello to mother."

She smiled sincerely, and with the approval of the old lady in the house, Aunt Huang took Tan Zhixu inside.

As soon as Tan Zhixu entered, he saw Song Ling'er sitting at the side of the first lady, right next to the old lady.

Seeing her, Song Ling'er frowned visibly, "Second sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"I just followed my mother's instructions to prepare the ladies. They will be here for today's dinner as scheduled."

"Really? As for the second bedroom, you are still the best."

The old lady nodded in approval, then sighed and looked at Song Ling'er, "Ling'er, you must learn from your second sister-in-law in the future. You can't be willful anymore, you know?"

Facing the old lady's serious expression, Song Ling'er couldn't even utter a word to argue.

"Yes, mother, the child understands."

After leaving Jing'an Hall, Song Ling'er and Tan Zhixu walked in the corridor together.

When going to the banquet venue, Song Ling'er blocked Tan Zhixu's way.

"Are you happy?"

Faced with this nonsense, Tan Zhixu smiled and glanced at Song Ling'er, the contempt in his eyes was obvious.

"Ling'er, haven't you realized that it's all your own fault that things have come to this point?"

Tan Zhixu gave Song Ling'er a look that made her confused, and left calmly and contentedly.

Now that things have happened, she won't let anyone manipulate her.

Not long after Tan Zhixu left, Song Ling'er started beating and scolding the maid in the corridor like crazy.

None of the maids who were beaten dared to say a word. It wasn't until Song Ling'er had vented enough that the maid dragged her body covered in blood to the backyard.

After Song Ling'er adjusted herself, she arrived at the banquet venue with a smile on her face.

When she arrived, the old lady and Madam Huang were already here, smiling to welcome the guests. Many wealthy people had already arrived.

"Mrs. Zhang, long time no see. You look better."

"Okay, okay, hello, madam."

"Hey, old lady, you are here too."

The old lady is used to seeing big scenes, and she knows these things easily. Aunt Huang has always been by the side, and Tan Zhixu and Zhou are standing not far away, which can be said to have earned enough limelight.

How could Song Linger let them become the beneficiaries at such a good time? Thinking of this, she quickly came to the old lady, smiled and held her hand, "Mother..."

"Ling'er, you're here."

Everyone knew that the old lady liked Song Ling'er. As soon as she appeared, the old lady began to take her to greet those old ladies.

After a round, Song Ling'er was naturally praised by everyone.

Tan Zhixu didn't care about this. He slowly withdrew from the crowd and went directly to the kitchen.

Preparing food is the most important thing now.

The Hou Mansion had not prepared such a large banquet for many years, and Tan Zhixu was more nervous than ever for fear that something would go wrong.

Unlike Song Ling'er and Zhou who wanted to be in the limelight, she was really doing things.

None of the wives of these officials are fools. They know better than anyone who is a show-off and who is really doing real things.

After a banquet, it seemed that Song Ling'er had won, but in fact Tan Zhixu had won completely.
