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

Gu Yu frowned slightly and cast a questioning look at the palace maid.

She knew very well that the eldest girl Song Ling'er was not only the daughter of the Hou family, but also a pearl that the Hou family had high hopes for.

And what the palace maid said about accompanying him was undoubtedly of great importance.

She responded softly: "Of course I have heard about the changes in the personnel around the princess. After all, our eldest daughter from the Marquis Mansion has outstanding talents. She studies with the princess on weekdays. The tacit understanding and friendship between the two are extraordinary."

The palace maid looked worried and continued to report: "Recently, my second wife has discovered that the eldest daughter rarely enters the princess's study, so she is inevitably worried.

You know, in this palace, human relationships change rapidly, and the second lady is afraid that the princess will feel lost or misunderstand something, which will affect the friendship between them. "

With that said, Gu Yu carefully presented a box of exquisite gifts, which was filled with the sincerity and apology of the Marquis to the princess.

She looked at the palace maid sincerely, hoping to convey her feelings to the princess.

"These things are carefully selected by my wife. I hope to take this opportunity to express our deep apologies to the princess, and implore the princess to give my eldest daughter Song Ling'er another chance to accompany her as a reading companion, so that she can return to school. Pick up your old role and continue to accompany the princess."

The palace maid listened to Gu Yu's narration and understood in her heart.

She knew that this seemingly ordinary matter of accompanying him to school actually affected the subtle relationship between the Marquis Mansion and the Imperial Palace.

The palace maid took the gift box and promised to convey it truthfully. At the same time, she felt a little turbulent in her heart as to whether Song Ling'er could gain the princess's trust again.

After accepting the object from Gu Yu, the palace maid didn't refuse at all.

There was a hint of unnoticeable depression between her brows and eyes.

In recent days, she had indeed been deeply troubled by troubles, especially Song Ling'er. She had begged for an audience many times, but was coldly rejected by the princess many times.

The palace maid was anxious in her eyes. She knew that Song Ling'er had no ill intentions, so she patiently explained Song Ling'er's difficulties and sincerity to the princess in detail.

But the princess is different.

Now with these, the princess should give Song Ling'er a chance.

The palace maid smiled at Gu Yu and turned to leave.

After the palace maid left, Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

After finding Tan Zhixu, Gu Yu told Song Ling'er what he had just done.

After hearing this, Tan Zhixu's deep eyes shone with approval. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled with satisfaction.

That smile was like the sunshine in spring, warm and full of power. She knew that Gu Yu's move would not only save Song Ling'er, but also ease her relationship with Song Ling'er.

So, she decided to go find Song Linger in person.

Song Ling'er was lying on the bed, her face pale but full of anger. When she saw Tan Zhixu walking into the door, the anger in her heart became even more difficult to contain.

She said angrily: "Tan Zhixu, don't think that just because you sit in the position of the second wife of the Hou Mansion, I will bow my head to you and be respectful."

Tan Zhixu walked over with a faint smile on his face, as if he had anticipated Song Ling'er's reaction.

She knew Song Ling'er's disdain for her deep down, and she also understood her arrogance and stubbornness.

Tan Zhixu said that she was not angry because of Song Ling'er's offensive words. Instead, she sat down gently and spoke in a tone that seemed weak but was actually firm. "Ling'er, I know you have always had a grudge against me, but this time I am not here to see your jokes. In fact, I have secretly made a lot of efforts for you with the princess and sent a lot of valuables. gifts to seek forgiveness. I believe that with these, I will be able to help you return to the princess and continue to be her personal companion."

However, instead of crying with gratitude, Song Ling'er became even more sarcastic, her bright eyes filled with doubts and condemnations of Tan Zhixu.

"Tan Zhixu, you still can't change your nosy habit! Do you think that just giving something away can change the situation? It's not like you don't know that the princess has always had a proud temper. How can you easily impress her with your vulgar things?"

Faced with Song Ling'er's distrust and accusation, Tan Zhixu just smiled indifferently, with a trace of imperceptible determination and helplessness flashing in his eyes. ,

That look seemed to tell Song Ling'er that what she did was not out of pity for her, but out of an unspeakable responsibility and friendship.

Just when Song Ling'er was full of anger and her heart was like a mess, the maid sent by the palace slowly walked into the courtyard.

The palace maid's gorgeous palace clothes sparkled in the sun.

She respectfully conveyed the princess's decree to Song Ling'er and stated that she would need to go to the palace to read it with her tomorrow.

After hearing this, Song Linger almost laughed out loud.

"Thank you girl."

After seeing off the eldest maid next to the princess, Song Ling'er instantly felt proud and proud.

Recalling the conversation with Tan Zhixu, she couldn't help but have a hint of arrogance on her face, but she had to admit his foresight.

So, she walked towards Tan Zhixu nervously, with a hint of subtle gratitude mixed in her words: "Sister-in-law, it turns out that what you said is true."

But Tan Zhixu just smiled indifferently, with kindness and tolerance in his eyes: "One family should not talk about two families. This is what I should do."

This matter quickly spread throughout the mansion like a spring breeze, and finally reached the ears of the old lady.

The old lady was sitting in the main hall, holding Buddhist beads in her hand. Her kind eyes fell on Tan Zhixu, and she praised: "Zhixu, you can always take the overall situation into consideration. This kind of calmness and wisdom are really rare."

These words echoed in the air, further showing Tan Zhixu's responsibility and broadmindedness in the family.

"Old madam, my daughter-in-law is doing all this for the Hou Mansion, as long as she can help Ling'er."

These words made the old lady smile even more.

After Tan Zhixu had coaxed everyone in the Hou family, she felt a little more relaxed.

After leaving Jing'an Hall, Tan Zhixu knew that he could resume his shelved plans.

At this time, the once heated royal dispute also quietly cooled down with the changes in the current situation, as if it had been blown by a breeze and temporarily calmed down.

At the same time, in the bustling and bustling capital city, a new oiran woman appeared in the famous Zuimanlou. Her beauty and talent were unparalleled, attracting countless high-ranking officials to pursue her.

But on the second day after she arrived in the capital, the oiran died mysteriously, which shocked the whole city and cast a haze over the place where singing and dancing flourished.

The death of this oiran lady had nothing to do with the canal admiral Gu Huaijing. As an important official of the imperial court, he was busy with government affairs all day long, and the affairs of the world should have been far out of his mind.

However, things are unpredictable. When people found a private token of the Gu family in the cold hands of the oiran - a jade pendant engraved with the Gu family emblem, everything became no longer simple.
