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

In front of everyone, the government officials went to invite the merchants from the restaurant.

They were invited by different people, so there was no chance of collusion, but their answers were all consistent.

Each of them can testify that when they come to the restaurant every day, there is no food, and all the food is freshly delivered that day.

In order to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, Tan Zhixu asked the stewards to go to the market every day to find workers. Their job was very simple. They were to keep an eye on the waiters in the restaurant kitchen every day to make sure that all the ingredients were fresh.

Today's guy happened to be a government servant who came out to make a small amount of money.

The official didn't say much when he saw him. He just asked him, "Is what the second lady said is true?"

"It's true, sir. I wasn't on duty today, so I thought I'd be fine anyway. I happened to hear that the restaurant recruits workers like this every day, so I came over."

Now the merchants proved that the ingredients were fresh, and the government officials proved that the waiters used fresh ingredients. The man who accused the restaurant of using bad ingredients immediately froze on the spot.

He never expected that a restaurant could achieve such an extreme level.

In his disbelieving eyes, Tan Zhixu took a step forward and came to him, "No matter who sent you, I will not let it go today. You slandered the Hou Mansion Restaurant. This is a serious crime."

After Tan Zhixu finished speaking, he nodded to the official of the government office.

"My lord, please punish this person severely. Our mansion has a lot of influence in the capital. Now that someone is slandering him like this, I don't want to take things lightly."

"Okay, here comes someone."

The official waved, and the officer stepped forward. The man instantly knelt on the ground, "Second Madam, please have mercy on me, Master Guan, please have mercy on me. I just use people's money to do things for others. I don't mean to slander the Marquis Mansion."

Seeing that something was not going well, the man came clean.

But he had no idea who bribed him.

"The man found the young man on the street and gave him a certain amount of gold so that he could come to the restaurant to cause trouble today."

"Where's the gold?"

It would be easier if there was gold. Tan Zhixu knew that gold in the capital was circulated under a bank account. He could find out as long as he confirmed how many times the bank account had changed hands.

The man took out the gold without thinking.

Tan Zhixu frowned when he saw the silver number on it.

The official also saw it, and his expression looked good.

"I will handle this matter, let's all be dismissed."

Tan Zhixu smiled at the diners and said, "I'm sorry to bother you all, but I've paid for today's drinks from the Marquis Mansion."

"Second Madam, you are already in a bad mood after being slandered, so please don't spend any more money. We can come to your restaurant for the same amount of money."

Some people suggested this, and some others echoed it.

Tan Zhixu was instantly moved. Her generosity in the past finally paid off today.

"Thank you all." Tan Zhixu gave everyone a big gift with tears in his eyes.

After a while, the diners continued to eat meat and drink, and Tan Zhixu and Mr. Guan came to the upper room of the restaurant.

The gold was placed on the table, and the expressions on their faces were ugly.

It was the official who spoke first, "People from the gold shop came here just now. This bank account is only circulated by the Tan family. Second lady, do you think it is?"

The official is not stupid either. Now it is clear that this matter was done by one of their own, and he does not want to make it a family affair.

But Tan Zhixu stood up and saluted: "Master, this matter should be handled impartially."

Tan Zhixu showed no mercy and did not excuse the Tan family at all.

Seeing this, the official didn't say much, nodded and took the government servant to Tan's house.

At this time, Aunt Shen, who was choosing her future husband with Tan Xiaoyao, heard from the officials that many officers and soldiers had come from outside the house. Her expression suddenly changed, "What's going on?"

As soon as she asked this question, Aunt Shen suddenly thought of something, and she was so frightened that she picked up her skirt and went to the study.

Tan Xiaoyao followed without knowing why, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"You go to your own yard and don't come out." Aunt Shen gave Tan Xiaoyao a death order, but she had no choice but to stop.

But after Aunt Shen arrived in the front yard, Tan Xiaoyao followed her.

Soon, she arrived outside the study.

In the room, Aunt Shen knelt on the ground and cried. Mr. Tan looked at her with his hands behind his hands and said, "You said you, you did something bad and you chose to provoke her. Now that the government officials have come, why do you want me to be my husband?" what to do?"

Aunt Shen burst into tears, feeling extremely wronged.

"Master, are you not going to take care of me anymore? I am doing all this for the sake of our Tan family. It has only been a long time since Tan Zhixu married into the Hou family. He has never come back once. This will make us forget Sorry, I am really angry."

At this time, Aunt Shen also pinned the accusation on Tan Zhixu. Master Tan flicked his sleeves and glared at her.

"You're still making excuses now? Do you really think I don't know? You went on to know about Xu's reputation and get close to various ladies, and now you're still criticizing her?"

Mr. Tan never expected that his concubine would be such a vicious person.

Facing Master Tan's disgusted look, Aunt Shen panicked and crawled forward a few steps, "Master, I really know that I was wrong. You have to help me."

"How can I help? Do you think Tan Zhixu listens to me?"

"We can go find the old lady. Madam Song will definitely not pursue it for your sake. Besides, this matter was originally instigated by the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, so it's not all my fault."

Aunt Shen looked at Master Tan expectantly.

Outside the house, Tan Xiaoyao listened half-comprehensively, but he could also tell that the reason why his mother was kneeling on the ground was that woman's fault.

Thinking of this, Tan Xiaoyao clenched his hands into fists.

"Tan Zhixu, it's you again. I think you are crazy."

After saying this, Tan Xiaoyao left Tan's house directly.

Not long after, Tan Xiaoyao arrived at the Duke's Mansion and happened to meet Tan Zhixu who had returned.

Tan Zhixu didn't expect that Tan Zhixu would come so quickly. Could it be that now that the people from the government office have not gone to Tan's house, how could she still have the leisure to come to see him?

Shouldn't they find a way to bring Aunt Shen out of prison now?

Before Tan Zhixu could say anything, Tan Xiaoyao said angrily: "What on earth did you do? Why is my mother so scared?"

"Your mother is afraid. Why did you come to me? You should ask your mother why she is afraid. Is it possible that she has a guilty conscience?"

Tan Zhixu sneered. She had no intention of paying attention to Tan Xiaoyao's childish question, but this woman refused to block her way, "Speak clearly, otherwise you will not be able to enter the Duke's Mansion today."

"Tan Xiaoyao, are you sure you don't want to go back and take a look? I guess your mother should be taken away by the government at this time."

"W-what do you mean?"

Tan Xiaoyao blinked his eyes, looking panicked.

Although she came with momentum, Tan Zhixu was too determined, which made her feel very nervous, as if something was really going to happen.
