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

When the old guys who were working here saw this, their admiration for Tan Zhixu increased even more.

At the same time, in the restaurant, there were also a few pairs of eyes peeking at all this.

Song Ling'er's confidant maid Cui'er reported to her anxiously: "Miss, the second lady seems to have discovered our people."

After hearing this, Song Ling'er sneered, with a sinister look in her eyes: "So what if she finds out? As long as she is the second lady of the Hou Mansion, she must abide by the rules of our Hou Mansion."

However, Tan Zhixu had already understood Song Ling'er's plan. She eliminated Song Ling'er's spies one by one, and cleverly turned the matter into an opportunity to clean up the internal affairs and boost morale.

At night, the lights in Jing'an Hall were brightly lit, and Tan Zhixu sat alone in front of the desk, holding a secret letter in his hand.

Gu Huaijing sent someone to send information about Song Ling'er's collusion with the second prince.

A trace of worry flashed across her brows, but she was also extremely determined.

"Ling'er, what are you doing?" Tan Zhixu sighed lightly, already having a plan in mind.

The next day, the streets and alleys of the capital exploded again. People were discussing the thunderous methods of the second wife of the Hou family and the difficulties that Miss Song might face.

An old man selling candied haws on a stick was filled with emotion: "This second lady of the Hou family is not simple. Not only can she perform meritorious service on the battlefield in the northwest, but she can also settle this messy situation at her doorstep."

Another young scholar shook his head and said: "It seems that this fight between women is more impressive than the power struggle between men!"

In the Hou Mansion, Song Ling'er angrily broke into Jing'an Hall. Facing her mother, her face was full of grievance and anger: "Mother, you have to make the decision for your daughter! That Tan Zhixu deliberately spread rumors that I was in the shop Arranging manpower, isn’t this obviously trying to ruin my reputation?”

The old lady was sitting upright, her face calm, but there was a hint of unnoticeable worry in her eyes.

She was well aware of Song Ling'er's temperament, and she also understood that Tan Zhixu was not someone who caused trouble for no reason, so she asked: "Ling'er, have you ever done this? If not, why are you afraid of other people's opinions?"

When Song Ling'er heard this, she was speechless. After a while, she hesitated and said: "I just want to know more about the situation in the shop. It's not as bad as she said!"

At the same time, the people in the capital became more and more curious about this power struggle between women, and there was a lot of discussion in the streets.

In the teahouse, an old man shook his head and sighed: "What happened in the Marquis's Mansion is more exciting than the drama. I don't know how the second lady will respond to the eldest lady's move."

On the second floor of the restaurant, several wealthy businessmen were drinking and talking. One of them said with admiration: "I have to say that the second lady of the Hou Mansion is indeed quite powerful. Now she takes care of almost all the business in the capital and northern Shaanxi. Now, can we make some money in the future?"

These people claimed that Tan Zhixu was powerful, but in fact they were quite unconvinced.

A wealthy businessman pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that Miss Song has gained a lot of information about Tan Zhixu. I'm afraid there will be a tough battle this time."

"It's better this way, we can reap the benefits."

Several people drank heavily, but no one noticed who was sitting next door.

Tan Zhixu and Gu Yu had disguised themselves, but they didn't expect that they actually heard something useful to them.

Back at the house, Guyu couldn't hold back his anger, "Girl, can you swallow this breath? Now the eldest lady is going to complain to the old lady, saying that you are the one spreading the rumors. This servant is really confused, what does the eldest lady want?" shameless?"

Seeing that Guyu was so angry, Tan Zhixu poured her a cup of tea, motioned for her to drink it, and then said, "Song Ling'er, if you keep pressing on her every step of the way, I'll naturally see to it."

Looking at his girl's calm eyes, Gu Yu didn't seem so worried anymore.

Early the next morning, Tan Zhixu summoned the boys from various shops.

In front of everyone, she calmly and resolutely announced a series of rectification measures, and made it clear that no one was allowed to set up spies or stir up trouble. She warned the new guys mercilessly.

"From today on, all shops will undergo a comprehensive inspection. Anyone who does not abide by family rules, regardless of status, will be treated equally and severely punished." Tan Zhixu's words were so loud that everyone present felt an invisible pressure. .

For a moment, Song Ling'er came straight towards Tan Zhixu arrogantly. Her eyes were full of provocation and dissatisfaction: "Tan Zhixu, why did you summon everyone today? Are you deliberately looking for trouble and trying to embarrass me?"

Tan Zhixu's face was calm, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and he replied softly: "Ling'er misunderstood, everything I did was for the stability and harmony of the Marquis Mansion, and also for the better operation of each store. If you say Looking for trouble is really nonsense.”

Song Ling'er sneered and held her head high: "Don't think that I don't know, you are targeting me! Who in the entire Hou family doesn't know that I should be in charge of these shops? Mother is just letting you take over temporarily, you Do you really take yourself seriously?"

A hint of coldness flashed between Tan Zhixu's eyebrows, but he still maintained a gentle tone.

"Ling'er, managing the shop is not a battle of status, but a matter of who can make the business of the Hou Mansion prosperous and the family business stable. Since I take on this responsibility, I will do my best. As for status, it is up to the old lady to decide. "

The boys around him held their breath and concentrated, secretly feeling worried for Tan Zhixu.

However, Tan Zhixu Chubian was not surprised and continued: "Today's inspection and rectification is also to eliminate those who try to break the rules and set up secret spies. As the second lady, I naturally have to be worthy of this position and worthy of the Marquis's family."

Song Ling'er was choked and couldn't speak for a moment, her face turned red, but she knew that it would not be good for her if she continued to make trouble at this moment, so she could only grit her teeth and said: "What a high-sounding reason, I want to see if you can do it What's the trick!"

After saying that, Song Linger walked away, leaving only an awkward and tense atmosphere in the room.

However, Tan Zhixu did not get confused because of this. Her eyes became firmer and she turned to face the other guys and began to arrange the detailed work ahead.

A few days later, a comprehensive investigation was in full swing, and indeed many of Song Ling'er's private informants and troublemakers were investigated and dealt with.

In the restaurant, Tan Zhixu, who had done the accounting, had just sat down when Gu Yu came up to him.

"Girl, what are you going to do next?"

The corner of Tan Zhixu's mouth curled up slightly, his eyes fell on the bustling streets outside the window, and he softly uttered: "Song Ling'er and the old lady will have some people who can't sit still, wait until this happens."

"Girl, if the old lady really asks you to hand over the shop, what should you do?"

"Then hand it over. After all, this shop belongs to the Hou Mansion, so what does it have to do with me?!" Tan Zhixu smiled at Gu Yu.

But her expression that was half-smiling made Gu Yu even more confused.
