"Madam, go back first, don't be embarrassed." Song Yunxi gritted his teeth and whispered in Zhou's ear.

But before they could leave, the Duke's wife sent someone to block their way. The two looked back and saw Tan Zhixu, who had already burst into tears.

"Madam, even if the second lady is the second lady of your house, she is still my sister. Now you are bullying people like this without saying a word?"

Faced with the Duke's wife's pursuit of blame, Mrs. Zhou forced herself to apologize to Tan Zhixu.

But Tan Zhixu didn't say a word, just turned his back to Mr. Zhou.

At this moment, Gu Huaijing also came out of the room, "I wonder why Madam Cai suddenly broke in?"

Gu Huaijing's unhappy look made Song Yunxi a little embarrassed. He smiled and said, "Master Gu, my wife just wanted to ask, are you satisfied with the meal?"

"If the eldest lady hadn't suddenly barged in, I would have been quite satisfied."

Gu Huaijing flicked his sleeves and returned to the house angrily.

Zhou couldn't stand up now, so she pretended to be dizzy and left directly with Song Yunxi.

As soon as she left, the Duke's wife took Tan Zhixu's hand and felt very distressed, "Is this the way you lived in the Marquis Mansion?"

"Madam, my sister-in-law is indeed a little reckless, but my mother treats me very well. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Tan Zhixu coaxed his eyes and said that he was fine, but the Duke's wife was somewhat unconvinced.

Zhou originally thought that she would pretend to be unwell and the matter would be over. Unexpectedly, the Duke's wife actually sent someone to the Hou Mansion.

This matter was known to the old lady before Zhou returned to the house.

Naturally, the old lady knew that Zhou was going to catch the traitor, and she also wanted to rub off Tan Zhixu's spirit. She never thought that it would turn out to be a mistake, and she would also let the Duke's wife and General Xu's wife know about it.

This was simply a public scandal, and the old lady was immediately overwhelmed by Zhou's energy and blood and fainted.

But she deeply remembered the words that the Duke's wife sent to pass.

"Old madam, although your Marquis Mansion is a small family, you can't bully others like this. Everyone in the capital knows that your Marquis Mansion's shop has been managed by the second lady. Now that the business of the shop is booming, You just want to turn against someone else? Is this what people do by falsely accusing their wife of her innocence?"

The old lady was dreaming about these words even when she was unconscious.

When Song Ling'er returned, Madam knew that her mother had fainted because of Zhou's anger, and she went directly to the main room.

"Sister-in-law, don't you know how much you are capable of? If you can't deal with the second sister-in-law, then you should be obedient. If you can, then let the second sister-in-law never turn around again, instead of letting Hou do this. The government will be embarrassed by following you."

Song Ling's body was shaking with anger.

Facing Song Ling'er's accusation, Zhou lowered his head and remained silent.

Song Yunxi was sitting next to him, shrinking his neck, not looking like a man.

Song Ling'er said enough, left harsh words and turned around to leave.

The courtyard of the big house is a lot cleaner without Song Linger.

Song Yunxi came to Zhou, "Madam, didn't you say that Tan Zhixu was hanging out with Gu Huaijing? Now it's good, everyone in the capital probably knows that we bullied Tan Zhixu."

"Now you know you blame me, why didn't you stop me in the first place?"

Ms. Zhou was also angry. Faced with Song Yunxi's accusation, she didn't feel at all that she had done anything wrong.

It was clear that the entire Hou family wanted to watch him pull Tan Zhixu down, but now that something happened, they only focused on scolding themselves.

Looking at Zhou's cannibalistic eyes, Song Yunxi shut up for an instant and didn't say another word.

An hour later, Tan Zhixu sent off the Duke's wife and returned to the house. By then, the old lady had woken up and directly asked Aunt Huang to invite the people to Jing'an Hall.

As soon as she saw Tan Zhixu, the old lady pulled her in distress and said, "Ms. Tan, you have been wronged."

"Mother, do you know about this? Is it your intention to slander me and Mr. Gu? Do you not want your daughter-in-law anymore?"

She and Gu Huaijing had such a big commotion, so naturally they couldn't make it a big deal. The old lady and Mrs. Zhou had to stop the idea of ​​slandering herself and Gu Huaijing, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

Tan Zhixu's angry expression showed her mood at this time. The old lady couldn't say anything to comfort her.

But she quickly came to her senses and quickly defended, "Ms. Tan, it's true that the boss made a mistake in this matter, but my mother was not involved in this matter. Don't think too much about it."

"Then what is mother going to do with my sister-in-law? I can't let my reputation be ruined by my family like this, right?" Tan Zhixu stood up and looked at the old lady.

Tan Zhixu was unwilling to let it go, which was expected by the old lady, but the request for this matter was approved by herself privately. If the boss was really punished too harshly, the Zhou family would start talking nonsense again. .

After thinking about this, the old lady took a few steps forward and came to Tan Zhixu, "Don't worry, no matter who you make friends with in the future, no one in the Hou Mansion will talk too much. If anyone talks too much, I will definitely punish them."

"Mother, can I still trust you?"

"Ms. Tan, if you don't trust your mother, who can you trust?"

The old lady looked at Tan Zhixu pretending to be angry.

She also knows how to assess the situation. Since she said so, let her give orders in the Hou Mansion.

"Mom, if you tell everyone in the house that this kind of thing must be stopped and the sister-in-law should be held responsible, then I will believe you."

Tan Zhixu gave a great gift.

The old lady helped her up and said, "Okay, mother, I'll follow you."

Seeing Tan Zhixu let go, the old lady also let out a long sigh of relief.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the old lady asked Aunt Huang to gather everyone outside the Jing'an Hall.

"Many of the remarks made about the Second Madam recently are untrue. The old Madam knows how hard the Second Madam works in running the shop, and does not want the Second Madam to be wronged. She hereby tells everyone to stop slandering the Second Madam and will be responsible for reporting it to the official. "

"Also, the second lady needs to make friends with people from all walks of life for the sake of the shop. In the future, everyone in the Hou Mansion will need to help the second lady and must not hold them back."

Aunt Huang spoke so much for the old lady, and everyone in the Hou Mansion fully understood what she meant, especially the people in the main courtyard, who lowered their heads and remained silent.

Song Ling'er didn't expect that the old lady would defend Tan Zhixu so much, so she came immediately.

"Mother, aren't you doing this to let everyone know the importance of Tan's family? Why, our Marquis Mansion can't live without Tan Zhixu now?"

"Ling'er, don't get angry with your mother at this time. This time it's the Duke's wife who comes forward. If you don't give Tan an explanation, the Duke's wife won't let it go."

"So what if she is the Duke's wife? Can she still take care of the affairs of our Marquis' Mansion?"

Song Ling'er has been used to being praised over the years. She has always been aloof and unconvinced by everyone, but now she is being pushed down by Tan Zhixu everywhere. She can't find the second prince and the prince now, so she can only fight alone. Can she not be angry? ?
