Secluded Outpost: Bow: Produce 4 Gold. Tireless Interrupt, : If this Holding bowed to produce Gold to Recruit a Personality, Equip an attachment to him from your hand for 4 less Gold after he enters play.
is targeted with The Shadowed Estate of the Scorpion: Tireless Open: Name a Fate card, or name a Dynasty card in play. Negate the effects of the next action from a card with that title.
Here the scenario, Scorpion targets my Secluded. I bow secluded to produce gold while buying a personality but produce zero gold because the effect is negated. Now the wording on Secluded says if the holding bowed to produce gold, it doesn't say bowed AND produced gold. I was most definitely bowing it to produce gold I just failed to do so. Could I then react with Secluded's second ability?

The gold production of Secluded Outpost is not an action. Shadowed Estate of the Scorpion could stop the Interrupt, but will not stop the Bow: Produce 4 gold.
