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

Chapter 22 A farce, the big house is disappointed

"Sister-in-law, those noble ladies can bring business to the embroidery workshop in the future. You don't even have to contribute this small amount of money. How do you expect them to take care of our embroidery workshop in the Hou Mansion?"

Song Ling'er followed closely and came to Tan Zhixu. She looked at Zhou with contempt, and the disgust in her eyes almost overflowed.

Zhou noticed Song Ling'er's dislike and retorted not to be outdone, "Ling'er, you have been with the princess for many years and have never had any dealings with these powerful people. You simply don't..."

"Sister-in-law, you want to say, I don't know?" Song Ling'er interrupted Zhou in disbelief.

She is a princess's companion, and there are not many dignitaries around her?

Does she not understand the thoughts of powerful people?

Thinking about this, Song Ling'er couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Sister-in-law, you are in the house all day long, just like a woman."

"you!"

"Sister-in-law, Ling'er has just come back, don't bother with her like this." Tan Zhixu blocked Zhou's flailing arm in time.

She didn't want to give this opportunity to others to show off.

Song Ling'er didn't expect that Zhou would want to hit her, and she didn't expect that Tan Zhixu would protect her.

The expression on her face changed several times, and when she finally looked at Zhou, she was indignant.

"Brother and sister, Ling'er doesn't understand this, don't you understand yet?"

Mrs. Zhou wanted Tan Zhixu to be on her side.

It's a pity that her wishful thinking was so loud that even Tan Zhixu didn't want to help her.

"Sister-in-law, I do know that because of your stubbornness, the embroidery shop suffered serious losses a few days ago, but now Ling'er is not doing it for herself, so you can't bear to part with this little money, right?"

"Sister-in-law, is it really your fault? No wonder the embroidery workshop was doing well, but suddenly it stopped making profits."

When Song Ling'er came back this time, she found that many of the shops in her house were in a state of semi-loss. At first, she thought it was because of the bad world, but now that she thought about it, it was no longer the case.

Tan Zhixu's words made Mr. Zhou look extremely ugly.

She looked at Tan Zhixu and hesitated for a long time without saying a word.

"Sister-in-law, I have to order this ready-made dress today." Song Ling'er was already favored in the Hou Mansion. If the old lady hadn't gone to the back mountain to worship Buddha today, would she have said so much to Zhou?

With the support of the old lady, Zhou had to do it no matter how reluctant she was.

In the end, Zhou compromised and asked Song Ling'er to go to the embroidery workshop to get the ready-made clothes. She could only watch helplessly as the store's treasures were taken away.

After Song Ling'er took the ready-made clothes, she didn't forget to come back and yell at Mrs. Zhou.

"Sister-in-law, just watch it. I will let the noble ladies in the capital know how good our embroidery workshop is."

"That's natural. Ling'er has always been smart. This kind of thing will naturally not be a problem for you." Tan Zhixu interrupted and praised Song Ling'er. When she looked at Zhou again, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, making the person watching panic. .

"You, what are you looking at me for?"

"Sister-in-law, I actually think Ling'er is a little too childish. This matter is probably not what the old lady meant."

After Tan Zhixu said his vows, he turned around with a smile behind his hands, still muttering, "Don't Song Ling'er know that she is just a woman? She is about to get married, and she is still pestering the old lady all day long, but she is just coveting her. It’s just property.”

Mrs. Zhou followed Tan Zhixu a few steps outside, impartially, and listened to everything Tan Zhixu said.

Until Tan Zhixu's figure was completely invisible, Zhou fell into deep thought.

Could it be that Song Ling'er was really bluffing this time and the old lady didn't know about the ready-made clothes?

The more Zhou thought about it, the deeper this suspicion became in her mind.

In the afternoon, when the old lady returned to the house, Mrs. Zhou began to kneel down and cry, "Madam, old lady, you have to make the decision for your daughter-in-law."

"As a married woman, you shed tears all day long. Do you think it's glorious?"

The old lady was dissatisfied with Zhou's current shrew-like behavior. She poked the ground with her crutch and gave the mother-in-law next to her a look.

The mother-in-law understood and quickly helped Ms. Zhou up, "Madam, it's not good to be like this all the time. It's detrimental to the face of the Hou family."

Not far away, Tan Zhixu saw this scene and couldn't help but smile, trying not to laugh out loud.

"Old madam, it's disgraceful. Of course it's disgraceful, but what about the injuries on my daughter-in-law?"

"What's going on?" The old lady glanced at Zhou and saw the bruises on her arms.

Zhou knew that she had made the right bet. Although the old lady didn't like her very much, she would never let her get hurt.

"Ling'er did it. What do you think I should do? If I really go to the doctor, I will definitely ask the source."

"You can tell the doctor the truth. I believe those people will talk about what you did."

Song Linger looked at Zhou arrogantly.

Zhou met Song Ling'er's sharp eyes and intuitively told her that she would not get any advantage in this matter today.

"Ling'er, are you back?"

"I didn't know that my sister-in-law has a hobby of talking about people behind their backs?" Song Ling'er looked at Mr. Zhou coldly.

Zhou saw murderous intent in her eyes, so she shouldn't have listened to Tan Zhixu.

"Ling'er, I think you have misunderstood. It was Tan Zhixu who asked me to come. I didn't mean to complain to the old lady."

"Complain?"

When the old lady heard the word "complaint", she couldn't help but laugh, "In my eyes, Ling'er is always right, so why should I complain?"

"Yes, yes, old lady. It's my daughter-in-law's fault. It's my daughter-in-law's stupidity. She really just thinks those ready-made clothes are not suitable for giving away."

"Mother, I know that the embroidery shop is suffering from serious losses, and I happen to know these noble ladies. Do you think I can spare the money?" Song Ling'er said so eloquently that no one could listen without saying that a young lady thinks of her family.

Zhou nodded in agreement, "Yes, it is indeed like this, but the styles of those ready-made clothes are not new..."

Knowing that she could not let Song Ling'er be punished, she could only follow Song Ling'er's wishes.

After she finished her analysis, Song Ling'er's face was livid, "So you didn't tell me on purpose, just waiting to see me make a fool of yourself, right?"

Song Ling'er looked at Mrs. Zhou angrily, as if she was her father-killing enemy.

Zhou was panicked when Song Ling'er saw her, and she subconsciously took a step back, "Ling'er, you have wronged me. I told you not to move, but you..."

"That's enough. Let's go find a tailor to make a new batch of ready-made clothes. Ling'er, go and tell those ladies that you got the wrong clothes..."

It has to be said that the old lady was still as stable as a rock in the face of such a panic scene.

Tan Zhixu witnessed all this secretly, and she was still a little disappointed knowing that her plan failed.

Song Ling'er and Zhou didn't speak much for a long time because of this farce.

During this period, Tan Zhixu also sent people to blow the wind in Song Linger's ears from time to time.

In this way, even if Zhou wanted to reconcile with Song Ling'er, there would be no chance.

Five days later, Mrs. Zhou found Song Ling'er, but was told that the lady was resting and not seeing guests.

"You girl, why are you so blind? I am not an outsider. I am the master of this family. I am the wife of the big house, Mrs. Zhou."

Song Ling'er brought back several people from the palace and waited on them.

Although these people are all palace maids, they all have excellent temperaments. If you don't tell them, it would be difficult to guess that they are just servants.

When Zhou went in, they stepped aside and said, "Madam, please don't embarrass us."

The maid blocked Zhou's way and looked embarrassed, as if the sky would fall if she was let in.

After unsuccessful search, Zhou gave up.

Passing by Linglong Garden, Zhou walked in unexpectedly.

Gu Yu was reading some ancient books. When he saw Mrs. Zhou, Gu Yu was stunned. It took him a while to come back to his senses and asked, "Madam, why are you here?"

Tan Zhixu in the back room felt his heart skip a beat when he heard Gu Yu's words.

Why is she here?

Could it be that I have been too quiet these days and this sister-in-law is suspicious?
