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

As soon as she left, Tan Xiaoyao saw Aunt Shen coming in from outside the courtyard with a smile.

"Mother, what did you do? Why do you look so happy?"

Tan Xiaoyao has never had any brains. He has always been a bit arrogant because he is the daughter of the county magistrate.

However, the legitimate daughters of other officials looked down upon her status as a concubine, so among the daughters of officials with the same status as her father, few people played with her.

Even if a few would come to her, it was just to show off their nobility. After a few times, Tan Xiaoyao stopped interacting with them.

The price of this was that Tan Xiaoyao was looked down upon by them more and more. She didn't care about this at first, but after being laughed at by these people behind her back, she felt relieved.

Among all things, Tan Zhixu was the only one who became a widow after marrying Song Qinian. This should be the only thing that could make her happy.

Now that her aunt is so happy, Tan Xiaoyao can't help but wonder what's going on.

She quickly came to Aunt Shen.

But seeing Aunt Shen smile mysteriously, Tan Xiaoyao was even more confused now, "What's going on?"

"Did you know that many ladies have come to see my mother today?"

"What are you looking for? Do you want to scold you again?"

Tan Xiaoyao knew that her mother was in the same situation as herself. She had complained to Aunt Shen before about why she wanted to be someone else's concubine.

But Aunt Shen smiled bitterly, "As a brothel girl, do you really think any family would want me to be the first wife?"

Facing Aunt Shen's heartbroken expression, Tan Xiaoyao said nothing else.

Fortunately, Tan Zhixu is not a bad-tempered person. In addition, her mother passed away early, and her mother has the final say in the entire county magistrate's office, so she can feel proud.

"You come with me."

Aunt Shen said nothing and took Tan Xiaoyao to the backyard.

After sending all the servants away, Aunt Shen took Tan Xiaoyao's hand and said, "Xiaoyao, now our good days are coming."

"What's wrong? Why are you saying this all of a sudden? Could it be that dad has been promoted?"

Tan Xiaoyao guessed, but Aunt Shen shook her head, and the smile in her eyes became stronger, "Did you know that Tan Zhixu defended the group competition."

"Of course I do."

Tan Xiaoyao thought his mother could say something good, but he didn't expect that it was related to Tan Zhixu.

But what does it have to do with me? Isn’t it because she has become a talented woman praised by everyone in the capital? !

Thinking of this, Tan Xiaoyao's face darkened, "Mother, you don't want to rely on Tan Zhixu, do you?"

"Of course not. I have a daughter like you who is both talented and beautiful. Why should I rely on Tan Zhixu? She is just a widow. No matter how powerful she is, she can't fly into the sky."

"Then what are you doing?"

When Aunt Shen said this, Tan Xiaoyao became even more confused.

In her puzzled eyes, Aunt Shen said slowly.

During this period, Tan Xiaoyao did not interrupt Aunt Shen until she shut up. She took a deep breath and said, "Mom, do you really want to do this?"

"already done."

"what?"

Tan Xiaoyao, who didn't think much at first, suddenly sat up. She looked at Aunt Shen nervously, "But will Tan Zhixian agree?"

It is said that Tan Zhixu's ability to hold the ring and become the talented woman that everyone praises today is all due to Aunt Shen's teachings. Do you believe this?

Tan Xiaoyao looked at Aunt Shen like this.

Aunt Shen saw Tan Xiaoyao's doubts, and she took her daughter's hand and said, "Xiaoyao, is the matchmaker coming to see you today?"

"Yes."

"Isn't this enough? Besides, if my mother hadn't taken care of that little bitch Tan Zhixu, would she be where she is today?"

Aunt Shen didn't feel at all that she had told a lie. She was a concubine. If she didn't want to treat Tan Zhixu well, she wouldn't be able to marry into the Hou family.

Perhaps Aunt Shen's words had an effect. Tan Xiaoyao didn't put forward any further opinions on this matter and accepted it happily.

From that day on, the Tan family was full of people, and the number of people who wanted to marry Tan Xiaoyao was almost over the threshold. And she had participated in several flower parties, and she had some literary talents. For a time, she was in the limelight, even approaching Tan Zhixu.

After all, Tan Zhixu didn't make any big announcement, but Aunt Shen went to various wives' houses and went to restaurants and teahouses. It was probably hard for the capital not to know that Tan Xiaoyao was as talented as Tan Zhixu.

Tan Xiaoyao went from being ignored by everyone to being sought after by everyone. This feeling made her enjoy it very much. This was a treatment she had never had before. Now that she has swelled, she likes this feeling.

"Tan Zhixu, don't blame me. You have been in the Tan family for so many years and have not made any contribution to the family. Now I am just giving you some glory."

As soon as Tan Xiaoyao finished speaking his words of self-comfort, the maid hurriedly came to report.

"Girl, the daughter of the general's family is hosting a banquet. I wanted to ask if you are free."

"Have."

Tan Xiaoyao smiled, looked at the maid, and then went to change clothes.

The entire Tan family has become more prosperous because of Tan Zhixu, and it is impossible for the Hou family not to know about it.

This matter quickly reached the ears of Mrs. Song. She didn't like that the concubine of the Tan family was related to her daughter-in-law, but she couldn't help it, after all, they were all from the Tan family.

"Nanny Huang, you have someone keep an eye on her. As long as it doesn't involve the Hou Mansion, for the rest... just let her be a monster."

It's just that he wants to gain glory, and the Hou Mansion still has a bit of magnanimity.

"Yes, old lady."

Aunt Huang was ordered to go out to make arrangements, but when passing by the eldest lady's yard, she saw several maids kneeling under the scorching sun.

She was confused for a moment, then thought about it and walked in.

"what happened?"

Aunt Huang spoke softly, and the maid suddenly felt aggrieved when she heard what Aunt Huang said.

The little maid kneeling on the ground saw Nanny Huang as if she had seen a savior, "Nanny Huang, help us, we really didn't mean it, but I don't know what happened to the young lady today. She has a very bad temper."

Seeing that these are all maids who have been serving Song Ling'er for many years, they should not violate any taboos. This can only mean that the young lady is in a bad mood.

Aunt Huang thought for a while, signaled them to be calm, and went to arrange the matters assigned by the old lady. Then she turned back.

"Miss, are you there?"

"Mother Huang?"

Across the door, Song Ling'er heard Nanny Huang's voice. She was confused for a moment, and Nanny Huang nodded outside the door.

"Yes, miss, it's an old slave."

"Come in."

Song Ling'er was still angry, but she also knew the relationship between Nanny Huang and her mother, so she didn't drive her away.

After receiving her order, Nanny Huang pushed the door open and entered.

But when she saw the mess all over the ground, she couldn't help but take a breath, how angry this place was.

"Miss, what happened? Why are you so angry? But those girls made you angry?" Aunt Huang poured a cup of tea for Song Ling'er considerately.

Song Ling'er drank it all in one gulp, with a hint of anger in her tone.

"Mother Huang, do you think I am really inferior to Tan Zhixu, the daughter of the county magistrate?"
