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

Chapter 353 The mystery rises and Song Linger is defeated

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the shop, and everyone was surprised and disturbed by Song Ling'er's sudden decision.

The young servant sneaked into the corner and whispered: "Why does this eldest lady suddenly change her personality? Isn't she going to confront the second lady?"

On the other side, Tan Zhixu, who was busy in the backyard, came over after hearing the news. Her smile was gentle but tough, "Ling'er, what do you mean? Although this shop is named Houfu, it was actually founded by me and has nothing to do with others. involved."

Song Ling'er glanced at Tan Zhixu, who had a calm face, and secretly admired his wit in her heart, but her face remained calm, "Second sister-in-law, what you said is a big deal. How can we tolerate outsiders in the Song family's things?" Get involved? I just don’t want some people to take this opportunity to increase their strength.”

Tan Zhixu smiled softly and crossed his arms across his chest, seeming helpless and teasing, "Ling'er, if you really want to take care of it, then try it. However, in this business, it is not just about momentum. It can be done well.”

At this moment, the people in the streets and alleys also heard about it, and there was even more heated discussion in teahouses and restaurants. "Have you heard? The eldest lady of the Song family actually ran to compete with Mrs. Tan Er for business!"

"It's a good show now. I wonder who will have the last laugh."

At the top of the city, Gu Huaijing was staring at this scene, understanding the deep meaning behind Song Ling'er's move.

He knew that Song Ling'er was approaching the truth in this way, and at the same time she was testing his relationship with Tan Zhixu.

As night fell, Song Ling'er stood alone at the door of the shop, looking at the brightly lit store with mixed feelings in her heart.

She said to herself: "Tan Zhixu, I don't care whether you are really in a group with Gu Huaijing or a fake one, as long as you let me know that you are colluding, then I will definitely kill you."

At this time, Tan Zhixu was also sitting in the boudoir, playing with an exquisite jade pendant in her hand, which was a token given to her by Gu Huaijing.

She whispered softly: "Brother Jing, Ling'er's transformation is both a challenge and an opportunity. We need to deal with it carefully and uncover the hidden layer of darkness."

Late at night, people are still whispering from time to time in the streets and alleys of the capital, and the "business dispute" between the eldest lady of the Song family and Mrs. Tan's second wife is getting more and more intense.

In the teahouse, an old man stood up and slapped the table, recounting today's events with great excitement, "Then Song Ling'er is not in charge of the shop. She is obviously going to fight to the death with Tan Zhixu!"

On the other side, Gu Huaijing held Tan Zhixu's letter tightly in his hand, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

He decided to send Teng Xi to investigate secretly and find out what happened.

A few days later, Gu Huaijing's expression suddenly changed when Teng Xi brought back the news. Song Ling'er not only spread unfavorable rumors about Tan Zhixu in the capital, but also intended to catch rapists in northern Shaanxi. The ruthlessness of her methods made him feel uneasy. chill.

The next day, Tan Zhixu asked in a deep and aggressive voice: "Ling'er, by acting like this, how do you put the family's face at risk? Where does the word 'hooking up with men' come from?"

Song Ling'er's eyes were firm and she didn't flinch, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, how could I believe it to be true? Tan Zhixu, tell me, what is your relationship with Gu Huaijing?"

Tan Zhixu looked stern and responded word for word: "Master Gu and I are as innocent as water. Those rumors are just your wishful thinking."

By this time, the news had already spread throughout the capital, and people's attention to the matter had reached its peak.

On the streets, both vendors and nobles were discussing this matter.

Some people applauded Song Ling'er's bold and decisive decision, while others sympathized with Tan Zhixu for being unjustly accused.

In the shop, Tan Zhixu listened to the heated discussion outside the door, and a calm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. She turned around and looked at the busy guys in the store, with a calm but powerful tone: "No matter how precarious the outside world is, we should still do business. Rumors only stop with the wise."

As night fell, Gu Huaijing quietly appeared at the door of the shop and sat opposite Tan Zhixu.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention the disturbance during the day, but discussed strategies to deal with Song Ling'er.

Gu Huaijing caressed the jade pendant, determination flashing in his deep eyes: "Xu Xu, I will not let you suffer any injustice. I will find out the truth and restore your innocence."

Tan Zhixu smiled softly and looked resolutely: "Brother Jing, I believe you. But I also want to prove that everything Song Ling'er did is just nonsense."

At this moment, inside and outside the capital, a storm surrounding the Hou Mansion, the Song family and Tan Zhixu is quietly brewing, waiting for the final outbreak.

And what kind of unknown secrets and struggles are hidden behind this storm? Everyone is waiting with bated breath, looking forward to the moment when the mystery is revealed.

Under Song Ling'er's strong advice, drastic changes took place within the shop.

She drastically revised Tan Zhixu's original business strategy, removing some products that were originally popular with customers from the shelves, and instead introduced a batch of new products that were expensive and rarely seen.

The boys discussed it privately, but no one dared to openly resist Song Ling'er's decision.

One day, people on the streets gathered at the door of the shop, looking at the empty store and whispering to each other.

"What on earth is the eldest lady of the Song family going to do? That shop used to be one of the liveliest places in the capital, but now it's deserted and deserted. It's chilling to look at."

"Isn't that right! I heard that she even removed all the fine silks and satins that the Second Madam personally selected and replaced them with some weird things. Isn't this obviously going to ruin the business?"

In the shop, facing the bleak business and the sad-looking waiters, Song Ling'er remained stubborn and firmly believed that her decision was right.

Whenever a servant raised a question, she would scold her sternly: "I have my own reasons for doing this. You just need to execute it, no need to say anything!"

On the other side, Gu Huaijing learned about Song Ling'er's series of actions through Teng Xi's secret investigation, and couldn't help but feel unfair for Tan Zhixu.

But Tan Zhixu asked him to calm down.

That night, Tan Zhixu decided to confront Song Linger.

As night fell, Song Ling'er was sitting alone in the shop, looking through the account books with a tired but stubborn face. Tan Zhixu appeared quietly and said in a serious tone: "Ling'er, what is your basis for changing the rules of the shop like this? You Do you know that business has hit rock bottom?”

Song Ling'er raised her head and glanced at Tan Zhixu, and sneered: "Of course I know, but I know better that you are behind all this, deliberately causing the business to decline to embarrass me."

Tan Zhixu frowned and retorted: "I am your second sister-in-law and one of the founders of this shop. Why should I sacrifice eight hundred to myself and one thousand to the enemy?"

After hearing this, Song Ling'er's face became more and more gloomy, and she gritted her teeth: "Unless you provide evidence to prove that you didn't do it, I won't believe it."

Tan Zhixu looked at her deeply, helpless but determined: "I will find out the truth, but before that, I hope you can treat this matter rationally. After all, this is about the face of the Hou Mansion."
