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

Chapter 5: Gift from Qingmei, now dead
"Business naturally goes to the one with the highest price."

"We're willing to pay twice as much!"

Tan Zhixu chuckled lightly, and Gu Yu understood and said, "It seems that the boss doesn't really want the silk. Please take it back."

After saying that, the two people left the house behind the curtain. Zhou was furious. When she returned to the Marquis Mansion, Song Yunxi and the housekeeper came to greet them.

"Madam, is that person willing to sell the silk to us?"

"I've offered twice the market price, but that person still doesn't let go. He's clearly taking advantage of the situation!" Ms. Zhou had nowhere to vent her anger. With a wave of her hand, the porcelain on the table suddenly broke into pieces.

The housekeeper trembled and said in a trembling voice, "Madam, it is said that the embroidery workshop in Dongshi has already sent people to move the silk."

"what?!"

Zhou jumped up and almost lost his footing, and said hurriedly, "Send someone quickly to pay four times the market price of silk in the account and make an appointment with the merchant!"

Song Yunxi couldn't help but said, "Are you crazy? Four times the market price, that's more than half of the Marquis's savings!"

"If the pre-sale goods are missed, not only will the reputation of the embroidery shop be lost, but also the reputation of the Hou Mansion." Zhou suppressed the rise and fall of her chest, always feeling that this matter was like a series of traps, asking her again and again. Apply pressure.

She didn't have time to think too much, so she took the money and went to see Tan Zhixu in disguise.

It was a long night and many dreams, so Zhou asked someone to take the goods away on the spot. As soon as they left, Tan Zhixu and his master and servant quickly went to the bank and exchanged the large-value silver notes for small-value ones.

"Miss! So much money! It's enough for us to go to Tianxiang Tower many times. Finally, we don't have to eat steamed buns anymore!" Gu Yu excitedly covered the banknotes in his arms and pressed them tightly.

Tan Zhixu laughed and said, "Silly girl, I told you that you would live a good life with me."

"This slave is determined to follow you to the death!"

Unknowingly, the two of them walked into an alley. Tan Zhixu raised his head, and several stout men slowly walked out of the front of the alley. They came with bad intentions.

Without thinking, Gu Yu stood in front of Tan Zhixu. Tan Zhixu asked in a deep voice, "Who sent you here?"

"Huh, it turns out it was two little girls who tricked me."

The shopkeeper of Dongshi Xiufang walked out slowly, with a trace of sinisterness flashing on his face, "You didn't expect it, the mantis is catching the cicada and the oriole is behind, give it to me! Count their banknotes, and these two ladies will reward you. played!"

"Miss back off!"

Gu Yu endured his trembling legs, grabbed the bricks he picked up from the ground, and slapped them at several strong men. However, he was picked up by the strong men and pressed into the corner.

"Gu Yu!" Tan Zhixu seemed to be going crazy. He pierced the man's head with the silver needle in his hand. Unfortunately, there was a disparity in strength after all. He was thrown to the ground before it even touched his skin.

The sharp silver needle in her hand drew a bloody mark on the man's arm. The man was angry and said, "Bitch!"

The big palm fell with the wind in it, and Tan Zhixu closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

The expected pain did not come, and the man who had been pressing on her body a moment ago was already dripping with blood.

Standing next to him were the men who beat up Song Yunxi that day, Gu Huaijing's men.

Tan Zhixu came to his senses and hurriedly ran to Gu Yu, his lips turned white from nervousness, "Gu Yu, please open your eyes and look at me. Are you okay?"

Guyu opened his heavy eyelids and gasped in pain, "It seems like the skin on his back was scratched."

Fortunately, fortunately, Gu Yu did not die in front of her again.

Tan Zhixu's tears fell heavily and he hugged Gu Yu tightly.

"Are you from Gu Huaijing? Why are you here?" After Tan Zhixu came over slowly, he glanced around, but did not see the figure of the man, and then he looked at the man.The man knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinate Teng Xi is here to protect Miss Tan on your orders."

Tan Zhixu was surprised that he was actually protecting him secretly?

Later, the two were taken to Gu Huaijing's villa. Gu Yu was taken to the side room to treat the wound on his back, while she waited in the main room.

Tan Zhixu looked at the house in trance. The house was scented with woody orchids, with gray and black as the main tone, and four screens separated the inside and outside.

What she was looking at was a purse adorned on the corner of the screen.

The purse was quite old, made of ordinary cotton, and the embroidery work was poor. The two plum blossoms were crooked, and there were threads everywhere.

This was written by her when she was 12 years old...

As the footsteps approached, Tan Zhixu still couldn't look away, "Are you still here?"

The man looked coldly, took a seat in his official robes, and his voice was pure and cold, "Given by Qingmei, he is now dead."

die?
Tan Zhixu turned around and looked at his sharp jaw and Wuyu's side face, slightly shocked, "Why did you say that?"

Could it be that he also...

Unexpectedly, Gu Huaijing didn't look at him, but just moved Bo Ren's lips, with a mocking tone in his tone, "Young madam is really good, guarding and stealing, and planning every step!"

Dead, is that what you mean?
Tan Zhixu's heart hanging in his throat fell back into his stomach, and he felt disappointed, but there was a smile on his face, "So I am so miserable in the hearts of adults?"

Hearing her bitter laughter, Gu Huaijing suddenly tightened his knuckles, and then looked at her. He lowered his eyebrows and felt that his eyes were getting darker and darker, mixed with sullenness. "Why do you want to take risks? Do you know that Ruotengxi would take a moment at night?" ,The consequences could be disastrous!"

He was angry, but deep down he was worried.

This look reminded Tan Zhixu of the scenes on the torture platform in her previous life, which made her nose feel a little sore.

But he is the governor of river transportation and will be the censor Taichung Cheng in the future.

Even if she rotted in the mud, she didn't want to drag down Gu Huaijing in the slightest.

As soon as she thought about it, she pretended to shrug her shoulders and said, "The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It's worth doing. The most I can do is give the money away to others, and it's better than being proud of the spring breeze at the Marquis of Lin'an."

Since Teng Xi has been protecting her secretly, Gu Huaijing naturally knows everything she does, and she doesn't need to hide it.

Gu Huaijing's eyebrows were knotted, and his cold eyes were covered with deep doubts, "The Marquis Mansion is your husband's family, aren't you sincerely thinking about marrying into the Marquis Mansion of Lin'an?"

A few months ago, he was awarded the post of governor of river transport in front of the palace. When he was happy, the first thing he did was go to the county government office to propose marriage.

Unexpectedly, the county government threw the betrothal gift out the door, and Tan Zhixu just watched with cold eyes and said: I am married, brother Jing, please don't come back and ruin my reputation by talking about it.

He suddenly realized that for Tan Zhixu, the affection he cared about was nothing more than a lonely pastime for his youth!
Tan Zhixu, who was standing right in front of her, spoke in a frivolous and nonchalant tone, "Just think of me as a bad guy. I just want to make the Lin'an Marquis Mansion lose everything!"

Could it be that there is something hidden in the marriage?
Gu Huaijing's heart suddenly warmed up, and he opened his eyebrows, his eyes brightening a little.

But at this moment, Tan Zhixu leaned against the small table between the two of them and raised the corners of his lips, "Sir, just think that I am greedy for money and lust. How about we make a deal?"

"for example?"

Gu Huaijing's eyes were fixed on his daughter's bright smile and he couldn't take his eyes away. He saw her mouth was slightly closed, and her breath was blue, "Sir, protect me, and I will commit myself to you. How about it?"
