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

After not seeing each other for a few days, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

The two nodded to each other.

"Long time no see, Mr. Gu!"

"Xu Xu, there are no outsiders here, why are you so polite to me?"

Tan Zhixu said nothing, but Gu Huaijing motioned for her to speak inside.

Helpless, Tan Zhixu had no choice but to open the shop again.

"Xu Xu..."

Gu Huaijing sat down opposite Tan Zhixu and gently put down the tea cup in his hand, with a hint of worry in his gentle eyes.

"I came here today to discuss with you Han Lingxiao's actions against the Hou Mansion. As far as I know, the Sixth Prince behind him is probably the initiator of all this. The Sixth Prince is pressing on you step by step, and his purpose is nothing more than to lure you Get in."

When Tan Zhixu heard this, his lips curled up slightly, and his eyes shone with a shrewd and determined light: "Master Gu, you are worrying too much. Since I am in the Marquis Mansion, I have already prepared to deal with all kinds of difficulties. As for the Sixth Prince, he thought If you can easily manipulate me, then you are underestimating me, Tan Zhixu."

Gu Huaijing frowned. He knew that Tan Zhixu had always been wise and brave, but he still couldn't help but worry: "I tried to persuade the Sixth Prince that the emperor's business may not necessarily fall on you, but he didn't seem to care about it. Moreover, Song Ling'er has secretly contacted the second prince, and if they join forces, the situation will probably become more complicated."

Hearing this, Tan Zhixu's eyes turned, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "If Han Lingxiao is from the sixth prince, it is not a bad thing. At least, this shows that we still have room to maneuver. As for Song Ling'er and the second prince, no matter how big their moves are, As long as we stick to the bottom line and find out the truth, there will always be a solution."

Gu Huaijing looked at Tan Zhixu's calm appearance and couldn't help but admire him, but he was also helpless: "You are always so calm and calm, but you must also be cautious. The situation is complicated now, and one careless step may affect the entire situation. Hou Mansion."

Tan Zhixu smiled slightly and looked firmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I will handle it properly. The most important thing right now is to find out the handle Han Lingxiao has and the truth behind the fake wine incident. This is the key to breaking the situation."

The two looked at each other and nodded, reaching a consensus.

In the early morning of the next day, the atmosphere in the Hou Mansion was slightly relaxed, and the discussion about Song Yunxi's fake wine seemed to have disappeared overnight.

Tan Zhixu was sitting in the study, spinning a delicate brush in his hand. A glimmer of insight flashed in his eyes: "It seems that there is indeed the Second Prince's handwriting behind this matter, and he can calm public opinion so quickly."

At this time, there was a sound of brisk footsteps outside the door, and Song Ling'er appeared at the door in a gorgeous dress. She raised her chin and said proudly: "Second sister-in-law, I heard that the elder brother's matter has been resolved. Those shops will still be in the future." We, the Song family, don’t think anything wrong."

Tan Zhixu raised his head and looked at Song Ling'er, with a faint smile on his lips: "Ling'er, what I care about has never been those shops, but the reputation and tranquility of the Hou Mansion. As long as the truth is found out, I can return the favor to the Hou Mansion. Innocent, no matter who owns those shops, I am willing to do so."

After hearing this, Song Ling'er's eyes flashed with astonishment, but she quickly returned to her arrogant attitude: "Then I want to see what truth you can find out!"

Faced with Song Ling'er's provocation, Tan Zhixu did not get angry, but responded gently but firmly: "The truth will always come out. I am more concerned about how to stabilize the foundation of the Hou Mansion rather than fighting for power. If you really think about the Hou Mansion , we should work together to find the truth behind the counterfeit wine incident instead of sowing discord here."

Song Linger was speechless for a moment and had to leave angrily. Tan Zhixu looked at her back and secretly determined in his heart that he must find the handle in Han Lingxiao's hands as soon as possible and the connection between the fake wine incident and the sixth and second princes.

In the afternoon, Tan Zhixu decided to go to the merchant in person to investigate the clues, and at the same time arranged for manpower to pay close attention to the activities at the Princess Mansion.

And Song Yunxi, full of anger and determination, vowed to wash away his grievances.

"Brother, we must strike first." Tan Zhixu said to Song Yunxi when discussing countermeasures. "Only by taking the initiative can those hiding in the dark have nothing to hide."

Song Yunxi nodded in agreement, clenched his fists and looked resolutely: "What my brother and sister said is absolutely true. No matter what this time, I will find out the person who framed me and give an explanation to the Hou Mansion."

This time Tan Zhixu chose to be a fake good person.

When Song Yunxi was not in power, she helped Dafang, not only Song Yunxi, but also Jiao Niang. Song Yunxi had some bad thoughts about Tan Zhixu at first, but now she is only grateful.

Tan Zhixu only wanted to win over Song Yunxi to disgust Song Ling'er.

Just as Song Ling'er was spreading rumors everywhere, trying to drive a wedge between Tan Zhixu and Song Yunxi.

Tan Zhixu continued her investigation calmly.

She took her maids to visit many merchants, looking for clues about the counterfeit wine incident from the smallest details, and secretly arranged for people to pay close attention to every move of the princess palace and the sixth and second princes.

One day, Tan Zhixu learned important news from a certain merchant. This merchant had been ordered by Han Lingxiao to provide the wine to the Marquis with special spices. This was what caused the fake wine incident. The essential.

She immediately sent someone to inform Song Yunxi of the matter, and the two decided to use this as a breakthrough to reveal the conspiracy behind it.

"Brother, we have mastered key evidence." Tan Zhixu handed a secret letter to Song Yunxi, "If we can follow the clues, we will definitely find the power behind Han Lingxiao."

Song Yunxi received the secret letter with a look of determination in his eyes: "Brother and sister, you have made a great contribution this time. I, Song Yunxi, will never let those who framed us go unpunished!"

At the same time, Song Ling'er noticed that Song Yunxi's trust in Tan Zhixu continued to increase, and she became increasingly jealous and uneasy.

She deliberately sows discord in front of Jiao Niang, hinting that Tan Zhixu has ulterior motives.

"Jiao Niang, look at Tan Zhixu, she has gotten closer and closer to her eldest brother recently. I'm afraid she wants to seduce him!" Song Ling'er said through gritted teeth.

However, Jiao Niang just smiled indifferently and replied: "Ling'er, you are worrying too much. I think the second lady is both wise and brave, and she only thinks about the Hou Mansion. She is sincere in helping us with the big house. Besides, your eldest brother is not It’s so easy to be confused.”

Song Ling'er turned pale with anger after hearing this, but there was nothing she could do.

She understood that her repeated provocations could not shake Tan Zhixu's position in Song Yunxi's heart, but instead strengthened their determination to join forces to fight against foreign enemies.

In the following days, while Tan Zhixu continued to deal with various people, he quietly made plans, preparing to completely expose the conspiracy of the sixth prince and the second prince.

With his support, Song Yunxi also began to fight back, vowing to wash away his grievances and defend the honor of the Hou Mansion.
