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

Three days later, the sun shone lazily on the bustling streets.

Gu Huaijing, wearing a plain gown, walked into the familiar restaurant in the afternoon breeze.

His eyes were as deep as a lake, and his steps were steady and powerful, as if every step contained determination to travel far.

In the lobby filled with the aroma of wine, Tan Zhixu was busy. When he looked up, he saw that familiar and determined figure.

The smile on his face instantly froze, replaced by a look of astonishment, and the unfinished tea in his hand seemed to be disturbed by the sudden news and trembled slightly.

I don’t know why Gu Huaijing came here at this time.

Before Tan Zhi could ask more questions, he heard Gu Huaijing's subordinates say: "The shopkeeper will give us some jugs of good wine. We will be leaving for northern Shaanxi in a few days. I'm afraid we won't be able to taste your wine for a while." ”

As soon as these words came out, Tan Zhixu immediately froze on the spot.

Gu Huaijing is going to northern Shaanxi?
Suddenly, memories of past lives emerged.

Tan Zhixu's face changed slightly, and he looked at Gu Huaijing as if he had accidentally asked, "Master Gu, are you going to northern Shaanxi?"

Her words were full of doubts and worries. She knew that northern Shaanxi was remote and difficult, and she couldn't help but sweat over Gu Huaijing's trip.

However, Gu Huaijing did not respond directly to her question, but a trace of imperceptible determination flashed in his deep eyes.

He sighed softly, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then turned his eyes to Tan Zhixu, with all his care and reluctance.

"I do have something to do during this trip, but I can't elaborate on the details." Gu Huaijing's voice was low and magnetic, revealing an indescribable determination in his words, "You just need to remember, take care of yourself, the restaurant business Don’t worry too much.”

Tan Zhixu knew that Gu Huaijing only came to tell him that he was going out, so he did not stay here for long.

Watching Gu Huaijing turn around and leave, the figure behind him cast a long shadow in the sunlight, gradually moving away.

The worries in Tan Zhixu's heart came like a tide, and there were mixed feelings in his heart.

There is not only deep concern for Gu Huaijing's safety, but also curiosity and confusion about his secret itinerary.

After careful consideration, Tan Zhixu decided to send Gu Yu to ask Gu Huaijing why he went to northern Shaanxi.

"Girl, don't worry, Mr. Gu won't let anything happen to him."

Gu Yu saw the worry in Tan Zhixu's eyes at a glance, and she quickly went to the street.

She walked in the bustling streets of the city, and wherever she went, people were discussing this matter.

In the streets, teahouses and restaurants, people were whispering to each other, and the focus of discussion was the mysterious phenomena that happened one after another at the northern Shaanxi wharf.

"Did you hear that?"

"It's so scary. Such a big thing has spread to the capital. How could I not know about it?"

Seeing that the people were like this, Gu Yu became even more curious. It seemed that something big had really happened.

"It is said that the imperial court attaches great importance to this matter and has sent a team of elite soldiers to northern Shaanxi to conduct a detailed investigation."

Among the people mentioned, the one who is most talked about is the wise and brave Lord Gu Huaijing.

The people had high hopes for him, and some even claimed with certainty that the purpose of Gu Huaijing's trip was to thoroughly investigate and solve the strange incidents plaguing the Northern Shaanxi Pier, so that those weird incidents could be calmed down and the peace of the past restored.

These simple people firmly believe that as long as Gu Huaijing takes action, he will be able to find the villain hiding in the dark and uncover the truth behind this series of bizarre events.

They are looking forward to that day, hoping that this hero can allow the people in northern Shaanxi to live a peaceful and comfortable life again.

After confirming Gu Huaijing's intention to go to northern Shaanxi, Tan Zhixu's heart was filled with ups and downs. She began to think deeply about what other actions she could take in Beijing to deal with this rapidly changing situation.

However, when he stepped into the Hou Mansion full of thoughts and was about to think quietly, she caught a glimpse of Song Linger's sneaky figure and hurried out.

The hurried appearance seemed extremely suspicious in Tan Zhixu's eyes.

Out of curiosity, Tan Zhixu decided to follow Song Ling'er secretly.

As night fell, the moon shone like water, he followed quietly in the dark alley, and saw Song Ling'er coming to a remote teahouse and secretly meeting the second prince in the corner.

When the two of them talked, their tone was low and mysterious, and they showed tension and anxiety from time to time.

"Second Prince, are you sure Gu Huaijing will do something bad?"

"What, you don't believe me?"

The second prince expressed dissatisfaction when facing Song Ling'er's question.

Song Ling'er quickly shook her head.

"Of course not. How could you not believe me, a civilian girl? It's just..."

Tan Zhixu listened in the dark, his expression getting uglier.

She did not expect that Song Ling'er would conspire with the second prince to do something unfavorable to Gu Huaijing. They regarded Gu Huaijing as a member of the sixth prince's party and wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of this potential threat.

Tan Zhixu accidentally made a sound out of worry, "Who..."

Song Ling'er and the second prince were instantly attracted.

Tan Zhixu secretly cursed himself for not succeeding enough but for failing more than failing, and quickly hid again.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and used the screen to avoid being caught on the spot.

At this moment, Tan Zhixu had mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that this matter was not trivial. If it was not stopped in time, not only Gu Huaijing would be in danger, but the capital and even the entire court might be in trouble.

Therefore, she decided to conduct an in-depth investigation and uncover the truth behind the conspiracy. She vowed to protect Gu Huaijing while also turning the tide and protecting the peace of the capital.

Song Ling'er did not catch up after all, which made the stone hanging in Tan Zhixu's heart quietly fall to the ground.

She leaned against the window, looking deep into the courtyard, with the moonlight like water, but the decision in her heart became stronger.

She wants to go to northern Shaanxi in person.

Although this decision may put her into unknown risks, she understands that some things can only be answered through personal experience.

In order to prevent people in the Hou family from having doubts, Tan Zhixu carefully planned a clever disguise.

She found a prestigious and powerful businessman friend, and asked him to pretend to be a wealthy businessman from northern Shaanxi, and attract the attention of the Hou family on the pretext of looking for business opportunities in the capital.

The news reached the ears of the old lady. This shrewd and trustworthy old lady showed great interest and respect for this wealthy businessman from northern Shaanxi.

A few days later, in the Jing'an Hall of the Hou Mansion, the old lady, dressed in rich clothes and elegant, received this "rich businessman from northern Shaanxi".

They had an in-depth conversation about business methods, covering many aspects such as silk, porcelain, tea and horse trading, etc. The two had unique insights and similar concepts. They had a great conversation, and they had a tacit understanding like old friends they had not seen for many years.

During this conversation, the "rich businessman" promptly proposed the idea of ​​inviting the Hou Mansion to send people to northern Shaanxi to investigate the market environment and potential business opportunities.
