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

Chapter 364 Peony Party, Ling'er falls into the water

The two looked at each other and understood each other. This secret battle surrounding the power and interests of the Hou Mansion had just begun.

"Xu Xu, I will always be on your side no matter what." Gu Huaijing's loud words made Tan Zhixu feel warm in her heart. She smiled and nodded, and the two continued to discuss the next countermeasures until late at night.

At this moment, the inside and outside of the Hou Mansion seemed as calm as water, but in fact there was an undercurrent surging, and an invisible battle was quietly taking place...

Tan Zhixu told Gu Huaijing that he had already made a move and asked Song Ling'er to jump in on her own.

Soon it will be the Peony Festival.

At this year's Peony Party, Tan Zhixu planned to use Miss Lu's help to embarrass Song Ling'er in front of everyone.

"Huaijing, I have contacted Mr. Lu's daughter, Concubine Lu. She is very upset about Song Ling'er stealing her identity as the princess's companion. At this peony party, I plan to let her compete with Song Ling'er. .”

Tan Zhixu smoothed the roll of embroidery manuscript in his hand as he spoke, his face calm, "This will not only divert Zhou's attention, but also allow Song Ling'er to reveal her true face in public."

After hearing this, Gu Huaijing nodded slightly and said in appreciation: "Xu Xu, this move of yours can be said to kill two birds with one stone. However, if this happens, I'm afraid there will be another turmoil in the Hou Mansion."

"No matter how strong the wind and waves are, I will still keep the ship steady."

Tan Zhixu's eyes were firm, and his tone was calm and unhurried. He told me that no matter how Song Ling'er turned things upside down, he would never be able to shake the foundation of the Hou Mansion. "

Gu Huaijing looked at the bright moonlight outside the window and took a deep breath, "In that case, I will just wait for the Peony Party to arrive. By then, no matter what methods Song Ling'er uses, I will accompany you to see the trick. Just take it apart."

"exactly."

An indifferent smile appeared on Tan Zhixu's lips, and the two looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding, as if they had foreseen the exciting duel that was about to come.

The next day, the discussion about the Peony Party became more and more heated inside and outside the capital. Girls from various families were secretly preparing to compete in this grand event.

On the day of the Peony Festival, there was great excitement inside and outside the capital, and the garden of the Marquis Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful canopies.

The princess and the queen came to the scene in person, bringing the atmosphere of the entire flower party to a climax.

The ladies from each family were dressed in gorgeous clothes and showed off their talents. Some danced gracefully and dazzled the eyes, while others were full of poetic talent and eloquent. For a time, hundreds of flowers bloomed and the flowers competed with each other.

Song Ling'er was dressed in exquisite brocade clothes. She wanted to take the opportunity to show off her style, but when she saw that Lu Yanyu had won the admiration of the empress and the closeness of the princess with her superb piano skills, she couldn't help but have a trace of jealousy in her eyes, and she was so angry. His internal organs seemed to be churning.

At this moment, Tan Xiaoyao came over with a provocative smile on her face. She deliberately raised her voice, and her words came clearly into Song Ling'er's ears: "Oh, Miss Song's talent today is really inferior to that of Lu Yan." Now, do you feel a little lost?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like adding fuel to the fire, directly poking Song Ling'er's pain point.

Song Ling'er's face was ashen, and she counterattacked unwillingly: "Tan Xiaoyao, so what if you married your cousin? Don't you feel that you are inferior to others, not even as good as a wealthy family!"

These words pierced Tan Xiaoyao's heart like a sharp knife. She usually held a grudge against Song Ling'er because of her marriage, and now she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.

Her eyes widened, she grabbed Song Ling'er's arm, and a burst of brute force instantly pushed Song Ling'er into the lake not far away. With a "plop", Song Ling'er fell into the lake, water splashed everywhere, and there was an uproar.

Everyone gathered around and the scene fell into chaos for a while.

Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing stood in the crowd. Although their faces were calm, their eyes revealed their strategies for dealing with the upcoming storm.

This push not only caused an uproar at the Peony Flower Party, but also heralded that the hidden conflicts in the Hou Mansion were about to surface, and a more intense battle for power was quietly brewing.

Tan Xiaoyao shouted deliberately to let everyone around him see that Song Ling'er had fallen into the water. Some men directly went into the water to save people. The unconscious Song Ling'er learned that she had been rescued by the most famous gangster in the capital.

"Rogue, I want to kill you, who told you to touch me?"

Song Linger had no intention of thanking her at all.

When the man who rescued people heard Song Ling'er's words, he couldn't help but sneered, "Miss Song, please don't accuse a good person unjustly!"

The gangster emerged from the water, his wet hair stuck to his forehead, and his bright eyes filled with unruly and arrogance, "I only saved you out of morality, and I didn't want to taint the wealth of the Hou Mansion. You are like this It would be too unreasonable to slander him indiscriminately."

Song Ling'er struggled to be pulled ashore from the crowd. Her face was pale but filled with anger. She pointed at the gangster and screamed: "You scoundrel! If you hadn't saved my life, I would not have spared you today." !”

There were murmurs among the onlookers, talking about the sudden farce.

The gangster shook his wet hair indifferently and said jokingly: "Miss Song, if you are dissatisfied, just go to the government and file a complaint. I, Han Lingxiao, sit upright and am not afraid of anyone's slander. But you , as the daughter of the Hou Mansion, if you are so arrogant and domineering, I am afraid that you will lose the face of the Hou Mansion."

As soon as these words came out, Song Linger was speechless and trembling with anger.

Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing exchanged glances calmly. They understood that this unexpected storm would further disturb the situation inside and outside the Hou Mansion.

"Han Lingxiao, you are so brave!"

After hearing the news, the old lady came over and saw her daughter in such a mess that she immediately snapped at the gangster, "How dare you be so rude to the people in my Marquis Mansion, why don't you apologize to me now!"

Han Lingxiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at the old lady with no fear in his eyes, but indifference: "Mrs. Song, right and wrong have their own justice. If Miss Song really wants to pursue the case, I will accompany you at any time. But in Until then, please forgive me for not attending the tutoring classes at the Marquis Mansion."

After that, he turned around and left in a hurry, leaving behind a crowd of people who were in an uproar and talking about each other.

In the midst of this chaos, Tan Zhixu clenched his fists secretly, already having a next plan in his mind.

The farce at the peony party was the perfect opportunity for her to break the balance within the Hou Mansion and reveal Song Ling'er's true face.

Gu Huaijing was always by his side, keeping everything in silence, and the two of them waited together for the moment when the storm came.

Song Ling'er became famous the next day. When she slandered Han Lingxiao, Mr. Han did not relent and directly spread the idea that Song Ling'er was a slut.

After Song Ling'er heard this, she fell ill at home.
