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

After hearing this, the old lady pondered for a moment, and her eyes fell on Tan Zhixu, who was listening silently, her eyes shining with admiration and trust.

"Zhixu, please go to northern Shaanxi."

"Yes."

The old lady decided to let Tan Zhixu, as the representative of the Hou Mansion, accompany the wealthy businessman in northern Shaanxi on his journey to northern Shaanxi.

Tan Zhixu readily agreed. Although Song Linger did not want Tan Zhixu to continue to contribute to the Hou Mansion, she could not find an excuse to refute what her mother said.

After all, the entire Hou Mansion is still relying on Tan Zhixu.

So Tan Zhixu embarked on a trip to northern Shaanxi under the attention of everyone.

In fact, she felt both uneasy and hopeful.

After making that decision, Tan Zhixu took a deep breath. Although there were thousands of waves in his heart, his face remained calm. She found Gu Yu and entrusted her with an important task - she must find some reliable and loyal manpower.

"Girl, are you really so serious?"

This was the first time that Gu Yu saw Tan Zhixu so worried.

Ever since he knew that Gu Huaijing was going to northern Shaanxi, his master had never smiled.

Tan Zhixu saw through Gu Yu's thoughts and said softly: "It's nothing big, just in case, you go quickly."

"Yes."

After Guyu went out, Tan Zhixu fell into deep thought.

She knew that now the Zhou family had been successfully expelled from the Hou Mansion, and Jiao Niang's place was temporarily unable to make trouble due to this incident, but Tan Zhixu understood that this did not mean that everything was settled. What she was most worried about was Song. Linger this link.

Song Ling'er, a woman who seemed weak but was actually very scheming, had always been a thorn in her heart.

In order to ensure the solid foundation of his business empire, Tan Zhixu also personally inquired about the situation of his own shops in the capital.

She inspected each store meticulously and confirmed that there were subordinates who were loyal to her and had outstanding abilities in the dark. They were like an invisible network, firmly holding the entire capital's business network in their hands.

When everything was arranged, Tan Zhixu truly felt relieved, with a long-lost smile of relief on his face.

In the early morning of the next day, the streets and alleys of the capital were still filled with light mist. Tan Zhixu and Gu Yu quietly left this bustling city.

Their figures disappeared in the dim light of dawn, leaving only a resolute back silhouette, stretched long and lonely by the morning light.

At this time, Gu Huaijing was still immersed in daily affairs and knew nothing about this matter.

It wasn't until Teng Xi arrived in a hurry, with a somewhat anxious and helpless expression, that he told him the news.

There was a trace of anxiety in Teng Xi's words, "Master, Miss Tan has already taken a step ahead with Gu Yu, and is probably on her way to northern Shaanxi now."

When Gu Huaijing heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his originally calm face. A complicated look flashed in his eyes, including worry, confusion, and slight reproach.

"How can Xu Xu make such a big deal without permission? Her arbitrary behavior is really inappropriate."

His deep and powerful voice echoed in the room, revealing his deep concern for Tan Zhixu's safety.

Teng Xi, who was beside him, could only rub his hands helplessly, his face full of anxiety.

He knew that Gu Huaijing was concerned and worried about Tan Zhixu, but he could not provide any more help. He could only bear the feeling of powerlessness silently and let the impatience and worry in his heart flow together.

He knew that Tan Zhixu's trip to northern Shaanxi was a long journey with many unknown risks, so he specifically told Teng Xi to send someone to take good care of all Tan Zhixu's belongings, just like protecting his personal safety.

Teng Xi accepted the order. He knew the importance of the matter and immediately started making arrangements. Not only did he select the most loyal and reliable subordinates, he also personally supervised it to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Gu Huaijing himself also acted quickly, without any hesitation or delay, and decided to immediately inform the emperor of his upcoming trip to northern Shaanxi.

The night is getting darker, and the palace is brightly lit. He had no time to appreciate the gorgeous royal scene, so he hurriedly stepped into the palace gate, preparing to leave overnight.

However, outside the palace gate, he unexpectedly met the famous sixth prince.

This was their first encounter. The moonlight shone on the sixth prince's body, reflecting his calm and mysterious figure.

After the Sixth Prince looked at Gu Huaijing, he raised a smile of appreciation on his lips and said, "Master Gu is indeed worthy of his reputation. He acts decisively and resolutely."

When Gu Huaijing heard this, he smiled slightly and responded: "The Sixth Prince is overly praised. I only heard that His Highness has superb chess skills and is the truly admirable master."

Although the two had just met each other for the first time, their verbal exchanges were like a master's exchange of moves, with hidden tact but no disrespect for etiquette, adding a tense and subtle atmosphere to the late night palace.

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Gu Huaijing told the emperor his plan before leaving the palace.

His steps were heavy and his heart was churning.

At this moment, he realized that the identity and power of the sixth prince were not as simple as he had imagined before.

The haze and waves hidden behind the many palace walls made the worries in his heart rise like a tide and became uncontrollable.

There was deep thought between his brows. He was burdened with the responsibility and destiny of a royal heir. He knew that what awaited him ahead would be a more severe test.

In another corner, Tan Zhixu and Guyu had quietly checked into a simple and elegant inn.

The lights inside the inn are flickering, and the red lanterns on the wooden beams cast a warm glow, in stark contrast to the chaos of the world.

The character she carefully found to pretend to be a businessman from northern Shaanxi had completed his mission and left quietly, leaving only the quiet night and endless suspense.

In fact, Tan Zhixu's decision to go to northern Shaanxi was not just because of concerns about Gu Huaijing.

Deep in her memory, there is a dusty memory buried.

At this time in the previous life, a major event indeed occurred in northern Shaanxi that could subvert the entire region.

It was a huge whirlpool of conspiracies that almost completely overturned Northern Shaanxi in the torrent of history.

With this fragment of memory that spans time and space, she tries to reveal the crisis lurking in the dark in advance and save countless innocent lives from danger.

Following such clues, she believed she could make progress step by step.

"Girl, it's getting late. You should rest early."

Guyu prepared a cloak for Tan Zhixu.

Hearing Gu Yu's voice, Tan Zhixu turned around and met the girl's concerned eyes. She smiled and said, "Okay, you go to sleep too."

After a night's rest, they left the capital in the early morning and headed straight to northern Shaanxi.

After a tiring journey, they arrived in northern Shaanxi half a month later.

The moment he got off the carriage, Tan Zhixu felt the local customs and customs.

The streets were full of shouts.

"Sugar-coated haws……"

"Girl, I want to eat candied haws."

"Go buy it."

Like a child, Gu Yu was attracted by the small street vendors selling goods. After a while, she bought many novel gadgets.
