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

Teng Xi thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what was going on, so she could only follow him to the dock.

Gu Huaijing came to the pier with anger, maybe because he couldn't express his anger in his heart. After what happened to him, no one in the whole pier was spared.

Teng Xi followed Gu Huaijing and couldn't help but take a breath when she saw her master's crazy behavior.

I muttered in my heart: Damn it, Miss Tan has really offended her master this time.

For an entire hour, Gu Huaijing reorganized the dock from top to bottom. Even some of the goods that had just arrived from the Hou Mansion were ordered to be moved back to the cargo ship for re-inspection.

When Tan Zhixu learned the news, he hurried to the dock and happened to bump into Gu Huaijing who was about to leave.

"Master Gu, may I ask why the goods need to be moved back to the ship?"

Tan Zhixu's businesslike attitude completely angered Gu Huaijing, and the last touch of tenderness in his eyes disappeared, "Second Madam, are the goods of your Marquis Mansion different from those of other merchants?"

"No different."

"In that case, you must abide by the rules of the dock. Any goods shipped to the capital must be inspected one by one. The goods in your Marquis Mansion are transported directly to the shore without going through official inspection. If something goes wrong in the future, do you want to Let me take responsibility for you."

"I..." Tan Zhixu was speechless. He always felt that Gu Huaijing today was different from the past.

No matter how she provoked him before, he had always targeted her, but today the meaning of targeting her was so obvious that she had to think more about it.

When Tan Zhixu looked at Teng Xi as if asking for help, he was actually winking at him.

Tan Zhixu was even more confused. What else did Teng Xi want to tell her, but Gu Huaijing's eyes fell on him. Tan Zhixu watched him obediently standing by the side without moving. At this moment, she could almost There must be something fishy.

"Okay, what Mr. Gu said is true. Women of the people must abide by the rules of the yamen."

Tan Zhixu didn't say much, and began to inspect the goods from beginning to end with the steward at the dock.

After this operation, Tan Zhixu stayed from dawn to dusk. In order not to delay the use of the store, she didn't even eat lunch and stayed hungry until the end.

Inside Gu Mansion.

After Gu Huaijing finished handling his official duties, he looked at the food brought by Teng Xi and frowned slightly, "Get out, I'm not hungry."

"Yes, hey."

Teng Xi sighed as he did as he was told. He deliberately attracted Gu Huaijing's attention, even if Gu Huaijing wanted to pretend not to notice.

"explain."

Gu Huaijing frowned and glanced at Teng Xi.

Teng Xi instantly half-bent, "Master, do you have lunch?"

To Gu Huaijing, these words were no different from nonsense. He frowned and looked at Teng Xi unhappily.

Seeing this, Teng Xi forced a smile and said, "Sir, Miss Tan hasn't had a drop of water because of your words."

Although Gu Huaijing didn't answer, his sudden movement betrayed him.

Teng Xi knew that his master cared about Miss Tan, so he quickly put the food on the table in the lunch box, "Master, these meals are still hot, do you think we should go and inspect the pier?"

"Well, in that case, let's go and have a look."

"Yes."

Teng Xi sighed helplessly in his heart and couldn't help but curse: Why bother? He clearly cares so much, why are he still sulking? Doesn’t this still make you feel distressed? !

While thinking, the two of them had arrived at the dock.

Originally coming for Tan Zhixu, Gu Huaijing didn't even stop and went straight to the dock where the Hou Mansion's goods were located.

Not far away, he saw Tan Zhixu, who was carrying goods with her assistant. She didn't regard herself as the owner at all.

At this moment, Tan Zhixu rolled up her sleeves. Although she had a delicate figure, she worked very hard when doing these things.

When Teng Xi saw this, she couldn't help but look at the people around her, and saw that her master's face was extremely ugly.

"Master, this subordinate will go find Miss Tan right now."

Without saying a word, Gu Huaijing went to the house where he was inspecting with his hands behind his back.

Not long after, Teng Xi came to Tan Zhixu.

Tan Zhixu glanced sideways and saw Teng Xi. Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she had to do it again?

"Now all this is done according to the yamen's procedures. Is there any other etiquette you can pick out?"

Faced with Tan Zhixu's slightly angry eyes, Teng Xi couldn't help but shake his head. They really knew each other in their hearts. Their facial features were so similar.

"Miss Tan, why are you as stubborn as my master? Come with me."

Teng Xi had a deadly look on his face, and Tan Zhixu washed himself for no apparent reason, then followed him away.

Gu Yu also went because he was worried.

"Commander Teng, why do you want Master Gu to find me?"

"Miss Tan, please tell me honestly what happened in the Duke's Mansion. Why is the master so angry after coming back from the Duke's Mansion?"

As soon as these words came out, Tan Zhixu frowned slightly.

Angry?

Could it be because I stopped him from dealing with Zhou?

"Miss Tan?"

Seeing that Tan Zhixu was distracted, Teng Xi called out quickly, looked at her and warned, "Don't make the master angry for a while."

"Commander Teng, Mr. Gu is an official of the current court and the admiral of the canal. I am just the second wife of the Marquis Mansion. How dare I make you angry?"

Tan Zhixu's intention to distance himself from the relationship left Teng Xi with a knot in his throat.

Not long after, several people had arrived outside the house. Teng Xi dragged Gu Yu and said, "Miss Tan, please come inside."

Tan Zhixu looked at Teng Xi, then at Gu Yu who was very nervous about him, "It's okay, just you and Commander Teng wait for me here."

"Yes."

Gu Yu reluctantly nodded, and in the blink of an eye Tan knew that Xu people had arrived in the house.

Under the dim candlelight, Gu Huaijing's lonely face was even more profound. Every time she saw this face that haunted her, she couldn't help but take a second look.

Only this time, Gu Huaijing turned around, and Tan Zhixu quickly looked away, and gave a graceful and pretentious salute, "A civilian woman, I have met Mr. Gu."

"Come here." Gu Huaijing's cold voice was so intimidating that Tan Zhixu had no desire to refuse, and she slowly came to him.

There was a food box on the table. Gu Huaijing opened the food box and said, "Eat."

"what?"

Tan Zhixu thought he understood it wrong and looked at Gu Huaijing with his eyes blinked.

"I am not the kind of person who criticizes harshly. Today, the goods of your Hou Mansion have indeed passed the inspection. Since you were unable to eat because of me, I am naturally sympathetic to the second lady. After all, the shop of the Hou Mansion is The shop that contributes the most to the capital."

It has to be said that when it comes to making excuses for himself, Gu Huaijing is truly unparalleled.

Tan Zhixu knew in her heart that he had brought her food in a subtle way, and her heart felt warm. However, thinking of their identities and what they had experienced in her previous life, she flinched.

She didn't step forward to deliberately tease him as Gu Huaijing thought, then thank him and eat. Instead, she stayed in place for a while without moving.
