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

Chapter 88 Winning first place and apologizing in public

"This Gu Huaijing is just the Admiral of the Canal. He really thinks he is the King of Heaven."

"I think he is young and energetic."

"Master Wang said that you should stay away from Gu Huaijing in the future, otherwise you will really be implicated in this kid's back."

A few big men, like women, are used to gossiping behind people's backs.

Tan Zhixu frowned slightly when he heard what they said that was not worthy of publicity. He looked around but could not find Gu Huaijing, and thought to himself: Didn't he come today?
At this point, Tan Zhixu smiled evilly, cleared his throat and said, "Master Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are looking more energetic."

Tan Zhixu said this deliberately, and then saw the gossiping ministers running away in a panic.

The way they were running around made Tan Zhixu laugh, "You deserve to scold Gu Huaijing."

After she finished speaking leisurely, she left awkwardly.

But Tan Zhixu didn't see the person standing under the tree not far away.

This person was Gu Huaijing. There was no need for him to come to this scene today, but when his subordinates told him that Tan Zhixu would come, he came by accident.

I didn't expect to see this scene.

"Did Tan Zhixu protect me just now?" Gu Huaijing's doubts deepened with Tan Zhixu's behavior.

Her behavior was completely different from what he saw now. At this moment, Gu Huaijing realized that Tan Zhixu had done all this for a purpose.

Before Gu Huaijing could think more, several colleagues called him away.

The flower-viewing party has officially begun. When it comes to poems and lyrics, men and women seem to be trying to make each other admit defeat.

After several rounds, there was constant laughter and laughter, but no distinction was made between men and women.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "I heard that the second lady of the Hou Mansion is a rare talent among women. I wonder if the second lady would be willing to exchange poems with Zhang."

On the stage in the middle, a man suddenly appeared. His long gray running made him even longer, but there was a trace of contempt in his eyes when he looked at Tan Zhixu.

Tan Zhixu could naturally see this kind of provocation, and she nodded politely, "Mr. Zhang, please forgive me for being unreasonable. I am not a talented woman, so naturally I can't compare with Mr. Zhang."

Tan Zhixu politely declined, but Mr. Zhang refused, "What? Is the second lady afraid, or did the second lady just let out those remarks by herself?"

Mr. Zhang pressed forward step by step, and his aggressive momentum was so oppressive that many people at the scene could not breathe.

Just when everyone wanted to see Tan Zhixu's joke, she stepped forward calmly and said, "Young Master Zhang and a woman like me are exchanging poems. If you win, you won't win with force. If you lose, you will lose face."

"Losing? Second Madam, do you think I will lose?"

Mr. Zhang looked at Tan Zhixu in disbelief, saying: There is no way I will lose.

Tan Zhixu shrugged and smiled, "I don't know about that, my wife."

"Let's let Mr. Gu be the referee."

Suddenly, someone said this, and immediately someone pushed Gu Huaijing out.

Tan Zhixu thought Gu Huaijing was gone, but he didn't expect that he was always among the crowd.

Gu Huaijing's expression was ugly and he didn't want to say anything. He turned around to return to his colleagues, but a discordant voice came again.

"Don't you know the relationship between Mr. Gu and the second wife of the Hou Mansion? It's unfair to let Mr. Gu be the referee."

The person who took the lead in speaking was Gu Huaijing's colleague Zhenger Bajing. The two were about the same age. However, Gu Huaijing was promoted step by step, but he couldn't even stay in the Canal Yamen now.Now that there was such a ready opportunity to ridicule Gu Huaijing, he naturally didn't want to let it go.

As such rhetorical questions were uttered, the good-hearted people in the crowd began to whisper.

Those who knew the whole story had already begun to spread the word. In less than a quarter of an hour, almost everyone who came to enjoy the flowers knew that Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing were engaged and were about to get married. Tan Zhixu turned around and went to the second young master of the Hou Mansion.

Unexpectedly, the second young master died young, and now that Tan Zhixu had no supporter, he wanted to return to Gu Huaijing.

But our Mr. Gu coldly ignored her.

After hearing these words from several ladies, Tan Zhixu almost pieced together the truth of the matter.

It's just that Tan Zhixu is curious, why is this man's tricks on people similar to those of women?
"Mr. Gu, why don't you stop being the referee? I won't let you offend the second lady."

"That's right, Master Gu, please go back."

"You guys think that Mr. Gu's position was not bought by Tan Zhixu at his own expense, right?"

"Ah, really?"

There was endless discussion. From the initial rumors to the current slander, Tan Zhixu couldn't bear it anymore and came to the crowd.

"That's enough. Do you plan to make my prince's family look embarrassed, or do you want you to make Mr. Gu Huaijing look embarrassed? I tell you that Mr. Gu and I are innocent."

"Second Madam, you are innocent when you say you are innocent. Then why didn't Mr. Gu say a word?"

"Are you guilty?"

This group of people obviously came prepared. No matter what Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing said, they would respond accordingly.

Tan Zhixu glanced at Gu Huaijing from the corner of his eyes. He really looked like he didn't know anything. However, after being slandered, he rarely showed an angry expression.

"Mr. Gu didn't say anything because he was too lazy to talk to you. But I am innocent for being implicated, so I ask this young man to apologize to me and to Mr. Gu."

"Why?"

"It's just your nonsense." Tan Zhixu's smiling eyes were instantly covered with a layer of frost, making the man opposite her feel a great sense of oppression.

"Tan Zhixu, if I call you Second Madam, do you really think you are Second Madam?"

"Is not it?"

Tan Zhixu helplessly shrugged and looked at the man. When she looked at him like this, he felt even more ashamed. He couldn't say anything to argue, so he could only clenched his fists silently.

No one was talking nonsense anymore. Tan Zhixu smiled and bowed to Gu Huaijing, "It's all my wife's fault. It was my wife who brought Master Gu into trouble."

Tan Zhixu bowed to Gu Huaijing and glanced at everyone present, "Since you don't believe me and have no intention of apologizing to me or Mr. Gu, then don't blame me."

She finished speaking confidently, and her whole body was radiating light.

"I heard that No. 1 at the flower viewing party can make requests, right?"

Tan Zhixu looked at the ladies who had come to participate in the past years. After getting their affirmative replies, Tan Zhixu smiled at them and said, "Then I'll leave it to you all today."

Several people supported Tan Zhixu unconditionally.

With their support, Tan Zhixu looked at the people who slandered Gu Huaijing with ease. She made a gesture of wiping her neck, and mouthed to those people: "Wait and apologize to me."
