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

After taking care of the old lady's side, Tan Zhixu will have no worries.

He and Teng Xi were busy working in the shop all day long, which was quite busy, but on the contrary, the Zhou family was feeling uneasy every day.

Her own shop was in trouble, but she didn't want Tan to know Xu Ansheng. She always went to the shop she was responsible for to cause trouble, and even came to the shop in the western suburbs.

Seeing Tan Zhixu and Teng Xi busy, Zhou even went to the old lady to complain.

Unexpectedly, the old lady didn't take her words to heart at all, and just told her coldly not to hinder Tan Zhixu.

"Mother, you are so indulging Tan Zhixu in contact with my foreign husband. If this spreads out, who will ruin the reputation of our Hou family!!!"

Zhou's eyes suddenly became anxious, and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction with Tan Zhixu and the old lady.

"Presumptuous, are you questioning me now?"

The old lady slapped the table hard with her hands, her cold eyes full of dissatisfaction.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Zhou swallowed back all the words she said.

"Mother, that's not what I meant. I just don't want the reputation of the Hou Mansion to be damaged."

"Okay, you'd better take care of those shops of yours. How about making more money with this leisure time?" The old lady looked at Mrs. Zhou extremely impatiently, and without waiting for her to say anything else, she waved to her directly. Leave.

"Then mother and daughter-in-law will leave first."

Zhou suppressed her anger and left Jing'an Hall.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Zhou went straight to the shop in the western suburbs. She still didn't believe it. Tan Zhixu had such frequent contact with Gu Huaijing's men, so she still worried about finding no clue?

Thinking like this, Mrs. Zhou was very happy.

Even walking is much easier.

Not long after, Mrs. Zhou arrived at the western suburbs shop with her maid.

From a distance, I could see that Tan Zhixu was busy. There were also many workers in the shop, especially the tile and carpenters, who seemed to be repairing the shop.

"Tan Zhixu, Tan Zhixu, you said that as the second wife of the Hou Mansion, you can just repair the shop. Why do you have to let Lord Canal Admiral's subordinates come with you? Are you not causing trouble for yourself? ?"

After thinking about this, Zhou beckoned Forsythia to come to her, "You go..."

She whispered to Forsythia for a long time.

After listening to Zhou's words, Forsythia instantly knelt on the ground, "Madam, is this inappropriate?"

"What's wrong?"

Mrs. Zhou glared at Forsythia, and when she saw her kneeling on the ground, her eyes became even fiercer, "You are the maid of my eldest house. Now that I have asked you to do things, do you still have any complaints?"

"No, no, madam, this matter is related to the reputation of the second lady. If this slave doesn't handle it well, he will lose his head."

"You think you can save your head if you don't do it?"

Not only could Forsythia see the cruelty in Zhou's words, but she was also convinced that Madam was not joking with her. This was something she could do.

Thinking about the sisters in front, there were countless casualties, weren't they all at the hands of our lady?

Those bloody scenes flashed through her mind, and for a moment Forsythia's eyes were scarlet and she almost cried.

Zhou half-bent, "How is it?"

"Madam, this slave is going right now, right now."

Without a moment's hesitation, Forsythia did as Zhou said.

Not long after, news came out that Tan Zhixu was having an affair with one of Gu Huaijing's subordinates, especially those nearby merchants who had competing stores, and they rushed to start talking nonsense.

If this had involved other people, it might not have reached the ears of the person involved so quickly, but Teng Xi was Gu Huaijing's subordinate, and the spies Gu Huaijing arranged in the capital were all trained by Teng Xi behind the scenes.

Now that they heard such remarks from their commander, they quickly found Teng Xi.

Upon hearing what happened between him and Tan Zhixu, Tengxi's pupils widened, "What did you say? Me and Miss Tan?"

"Yes, my subordinates are also wondering. Miss Tan is not with the boss, but..." The spy made a gesture as if they were a couple, then scratched his head and laughed.

But Teng Xi couldn't laugh anymore, but he was not worried about what would happen to him and Miss Tan, but he was worried about whether the boss would beat him to death if he heard such remarks.

The more he thought about Teng Xi, the more worried he became, so he hurried to find Gu Huaijing.

At that time, Gu Huaijing was handling official duties. When he saw Teng Xi hurried in, he did not put down the pen in his hand, but said softly: "What's the matter?"

"Sir, I was wrong. I was really wrong."

"speak."

Teng Xi apologized immediately. Something must have happened. Gu Huaijing didn't even have to guess, but he didn't think it would be a big deal. After all, he knew Teng Xi.

However, Teng Xi knelt on the ground instantly, "Sir, please promise me first that you will never be angry."

"Are you talking about something about you and Tan Zhixu?"

"..."

Teng Xi suddenly became nervous and blinked his eyes in disbelief. He was stunned for a while before stumbling and saying: "Master, this subordinate really didn't do anything."

"Well, I know. Just go and do your work and continue working in the shop."

"what?"

Teng Xi didn't expect it at all, and for some reason his master didn't care at all.

Facing Teng Xi's confused eyes, Gu Huaijing cleared his throat and said, "Okay, I may have expected this a long time ago."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Teng Xi understood. Could it be that the master and Miss Tan had expected this?

After thinking about this, he quickly returned to the shop without a moment's doubt.

Of course, when he returned to the shop, he did nothing else but pester Tan Zhixu to ask her how she expected such remarks.

Facing Teng Xi's questioning, Tan Zhixu knew that if he didn't make it clear, this kid wouldn't let him do his job well.

Simply, Tan Zhixu called Teng Xi to one side and spoke in detail.

For a full quarter of an hour, Teng Xi listened very seriously.

"Miss Tan, you are so amazing. You can actually predict that Zhou will slander you?"

"Not only that, she will also attack the shop, waiting to collect cash with your adults."

"Girl, my master said that this shop is just for you to look after. I didn't want it for myself."

Teng Xi seemed worried that Tan Zhixu might misunderstand Gu Huaijing, so he quickly explained.

Tan Zhixu, who was making wall painting plans in his hands, trembled slightly when he heard these words.

Originally, she had doubts about Gu Huaijing taking over the shop so easily, but it wasn't that she didn't want to give him the shop, but that she felt that he was not such a person.

Sure enough, he is not such a person.

For a moment, Tan Zhixu realized that he had gone too far, so he calmed down and said, "Commander Teng Teng told Mr. Gu that Mr. Gu has already bought this shop, and it belongs to Mr. Gu. There is no need to consider me."

"Yes."

In fact, after saying this, Teng Xi regretted it. After all, his master asked him to keep this matter secret. If Miss Tan really went to find his master, he would not be able to protect himself.
