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

Chapter 32 Thousands of favors, step by step

As soon as she arrived at the ancestral hall, she heard Mrs. Zhou's cursing voice, "Who is she? Now she is just not married. When she gets married in the future, it will be thrown away. How dare she talk about me?"

"When the time comes for the Hou Mansion, my husband will have the final say. I wonder who dares not to take me seriously."

Zhou is still thinking about completely taking over the Hou Mansion, but her wishful thinking was wrong.

Tan Zhixu shook his head helplessly, he was really a fool.

If Mrs. Song really wanted to hand over the family to her, she would have already started teaching her how to behave, right?
Now he is just using her and himself to take care of the family business for the Hou Mansion.

After returning to his thoughts, Tan Zhixu came to the ancestral hall and gently put down the food box, "Sister-in-law, after talking for so long, your mouth should be dry, right?"

Zhou was so absorbed in what she was talking about that she didn't notice anyone coming in.

Tan Zhixu opened his mouth, and she trembled with fright, "You, why are you here?"

"You were punished to kneel down. As a younger brother and sister, how could I not come?"

Tan Zhixu looked at Ms. Zhou distressedly, with a gentle expression on her face, but in her heart she was cursing fiercely, "Mrs. Zhou, wait..."

"Are you so kind?"

"Sister-in-law, why are you always so hostile to me?" Tan Zhixu pretended to be a good person and it was not enough. He even had tears in his eyes, looking aggrieved after being wronged.

"Okay, then stop pretending in front of me. If mother doesn't like me, she will definitely like you. Then you will have more shops than me. Isn't this what you want to see the most?"

Zhou gave Tan Zhixu a cold look.

After all, she didn't believe that Tan Zhixu had good intentions, so Tan Zhixu simply didn't pretend, "The food is hot, do you want to eat it?"

"Eat, of course, I'm not stupid!" Mr. Zhou is not stupid enough to have trouble with his own body.

The servants in the house are all profit-seeking people. Knowing that she offended Song Ling'er and was grounded by the old lady, they all started to act according to the rules. They did not give her hot meals, but only leftovers, and they were all cold. of.

How can she eat it?

Tan Zhixu's hot meal came at just the right time.

Zhou was devouring his food while Tan Zhixu spoke earnestly beside him:

"There is indeed a competitive relationship between you and me, but sister-in-law, you are wrong to regard me as your enemy. You are just worried that I will take away what originally belongs to you, but I just want to keep myself alive. .”

Tan Zhixu observed Zhou's face as he spoke. Seeing that the impatience on her face weakened, he continued: "Now the people in the house are targeting you just because you were punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. What about me?"

"My husband has passed away, and I am just a widow. If I don't make some money, will I still have a way to survive in the future? So, sister-in-law, I am not targeting you, I just want to make some money."

"really?"

Mrs. Zhou put down her hands to eat and looked at Tan Zhixu seriously.

Tan Zhixu nodded, "Why are you lying to me? You have been in the Marquis Mansion for many years, and you don't know more about the Song family than I do? Do I need to argue with you?"

Everything she said made sense. Zhou reluctantly believed it, but he didn't believe it all.

Mrs. Zhou told Tan Zhixu some things about Song Ling'er that few people knew, and then pretended to be calm and continued to kneel down to be punished.

"Brothers and sisters, listen to my advice and don't get close to Song Ling'er. Our sister-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Mrs. Zhou glanced at Tan Zhixu thoughtfully and said no more. Word.

For a long time, Tan Zhixu was stunned on the spot. It was only when the maid came over to urge her that she came back to her senses.

"Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now. I'll see you another day."

"Let's go."

Mrs. Zhou waved her hands arrogantly, without even looking at Tan Zhixu.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Tan Zhixu whispered a few words into Guyu's ear.After hearing what Tan Zhixu said, Gu Yu looked worried, "Miss, do you really want to do this?"

"Just go and be careful not to let anyone see it's you."

"Yes."

Tan Zhixu suddenly became serious, and Gu Yu also became serious.

She didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly left the Marquis' Mansion according to her lady's instructions.

When I came back, it was already an hour later.

When Gu Yu saw Song Ling'er playing chess with Tan Zhixu, she stood aside until Tan Zhixu glanced at her, and she nodded slightly.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Tan Zhixu's face.

"Ling'er, you are worthy of being the princess's companion. Your chess skills are amazing. My second sister-in-law is really incomparable to you."

"That's natural. Even the princess said that my chess skills are great, that is, Gu..." Song Ling'er was complacent and suddenly stopped talking, only looking at Tan Zhixu.

Looking at Song Linger's burning eyes, Tan Zhixu smiled slightly and said, "Linger, why are you looking at me?"

"Second sister-in-law, you should know that Mr. Gu Huaijing's chess skills are outstanding. I heard that the Holy Emperor attaches great importance to him, and even after several court visits, he will compete with him on chess skills."

"Really? I really don't know this."

Tan Zhixu concealed his inner feelings.

If Song Ling'er hadn't mentioned it, she would have really forgotten it.

But there is nothing surprising about this. Gu Huaijing is the kind of person who is proficient in everything.

Otherwise, the talk between the government and the public will not change.

Song Ling'er's temptation did not receive any response.

In the end, she gave up the temptation. Anyway, her second brother was buried. Even if Tan Zhixu really had something to do with Gu Huaijing, she might still be able to control it.

Ever since, the confusion on Song Linger's face turned into a smile.

"Okay, Second Sister-in-law, it's getting late, so I won't disturb you for now." Song Ling'er stood up and was about to leave, but saw the maid running over in a hurry.

The maid looked at Song Linger's body and whispered in her ear for a while.

"What did you say?"

Seeing that Song Ling'er was angry, the maid knelt on the ground and said, "This slave deserves to die..."

"Walk."

"Yes."

Seeing Song Linger's ugly face, the maid didn't dare to say anything, so she had to bury her head and follow her out.

"Ling'er, what happened?" Tan Zhixu had been at a loss since the maid appeared. When she saw Song Ling'er leaving in a hurry, she got up even more eagerly.

Song Ling'er looked at Tan Zhixu, and finally her eyes fell on her smart eyes.

"Second sister-in-law, tell me, if rumors about me spread in the capital, who might have done it?"

"Ah, there is such a thing. We can't tolerate it. Ling'er, sister-in-law will go with you to see who is so bold."
