Oh my god, can you play like this?

The moment Gu Shurui met Gu Lanzhi's eyes, his heart tightened and he quickly looked away guiltily, not daring to meet Gu Lanzhi's gaze again.

With just one glance, Gu Shurui knew that his third brother had changed, and was completely different from before.

It is said that the people who know you best are not your relatives, but your enemies. Gu Shurui is an enemy who knows Gu Lanzhi very well.

Madam Gu San had a wandering look in her eyes and stood silently not far behind the first lady, also not daring to look Gu Lanzhi in the eye.

Gu Lanzhi looked at the two guilty people calmly, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

"Third Madam, Fourth Brother, are you two not welcoming me back? Why don't you even say a word?"

When facing the first lady and his younger brothers and sisters, Gu Lanzhi's expression and tone were extremely gentle, but when facing the third lady and Gu Shurui, there was a coldness in his voice.

"No... Brother, we are all looking forward to your return, but our sister-in-law was talking to you just now, so we didn't interrupt." The third lady quickly excused herself.

"Oh? Then I was wrong about Third Madam and Fourth Brother." Gu Lanzhi turned his gaze to Gu Shurui.

Gu Shurui was still too guilty to meet Gu Lanzhi's eyes, and forgot to talk to him for a moment, until the Third Madam secretly bumped his arm with her arm, and then Gu Shurui quickly spoke.

"Third... Third brother, you're back."

Not only did the eldest lady frown when she heard these dry words, but even Gu Jingcheng looked at Gu Shurui with disgust.

The eldest lady seldom went out since Gu Lan went to the battlefield. She didn't know much about the rumors outside, but she knew that Gu Shurui was familiar with the fifth prince.

But Gu Jingcheng went to school every day, and his classmates used the matter between Gu Shurui and the Fifth Prince as a good topic of conversation, so Gu Jingcheng knew everything very well.

It was after hearing such rumors that Gu Jingcheng began to dislike Gu Shurui and would ignore him when he met him in the mansion.

Now looking at the guilty look on the Third Madam and Gu Shurui's faces, Gu Jingcheng just felt happy.

"Haha...don't you know that I'm back?" Gu Lanzhi is not a good person. If you provoke him, Gu Lanzhi will never let you go so easily.

"I...I know." Gu Shurui said with his head down.

He used to feel inferior to Gu Lanzhi, and now because of the fifth prince's matter, Gu Shurui was even more afraid to face Gu Lanzhi.

Seeing Gu Shurui's incoherent speech, Gu Lanzhi asked curiously, "Fourth brother, are you also so incoherent when you talk to the fifth prince?"

With just one sentence, Madam Three and Gu Shurui were so frightened that they almost fell to their knees.

Now they only have one voice in their hearts: "It's over, he knows."

The eldest lady heard something wrong in Gu Lanzhi's words. She frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The Third Madam and Gu Shurui lowered their heads and looked at each other, neither of them dared to answer the First Madam's words.

Gu Lanzhi waved his hand indifferently and said, "Auntie, let's go home and talk about it."

The eldest lady looked around and said nothing in the end. Everyone got on the carriage.

When Gu Jingcheng came, he was in the same carriage with the eldest lady and his sister, but now he was in Gu Lanzhi's carriage.

Gu Lanzhi looked at the young boy following behind him, just smiled and said nothing.

After everything was arranged, the group followed Gu Lanzhi and the others back to the general's mansion.

On the way back home, the Third Madam and Gu Shurui were silent for a long time. When they were almost at the gate of the house, Gu Shurui looked at his mother and said, "Mom, he knows everything. What should we do?"

What should I do? The third lady also wanted to ask what to do.

How could this Gu Lanzhi be so lucky? He could survive even when his life was hanging by a thread, so why didn't he just die? Everyone felt relieved.

But now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time.

"Don't make any noise when you return home. Just stay in our yard these days and don't walk around.

If the brother doesn't look for us, we won't go in front of him and get in his way."

Gu Shurui thought for a moment and said awkwardly: "Since he already knows, what's the point of us doing this?"

The Third Madam looked at her son with a look of disappointment, "Do you still want to get close to him?"

Gu Shurui quickly shook his head and said in a low voice: "I know."

The old butler had been waiting at the gate of the mansion. When he saw Gu Jingcheng helping Gu Lanzhi get out of the carriage, he knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Lanzhi with tears streaming down his face. The servants of the Gu mansion behind him also knelt down with him.

"Brother, you are finally back." The old butler said loudly with a trembling voice.

Gu Lanzhi signaled Gu Jingcheng to help the old housekeeper up, and then he said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, you have worked hard to manage the mansion over the years."

"This is the duty of this old servant. It's not hard at all." Butler Liu looked at Gu Lanzhi's face with satisfaction.

This housekeeper Liu had been to the battlefield with Gu Lanzhi's father. Because he was injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, Gu Lanzhi's father arranged for him to be the housekeeper in the mansion.

"Uncle Liu, let's go inside and talk." There were people coming and going at the gate, so it was indeed not a good place to talk.

Everyone surrounded Gu Lanzhi and wandered into Gu Lanzhi's original yard.

When the eldest lady received the news that Gu Lanzhi was returning to Beijing, she ordered people to clean up the yard inside and out, waiting for Gu Lanzhi to come back!

Originally, the eldest lady wanted Gu Lanzhi to live in the main courtyard. Now that Gu Lanzhi is the pillar of the family, he should live in the main courtyard.

But later, the eldest lady thought about it and decided to wait for Gu Lanzhi to come back and ask for his opinion.

Gu Lanzhi used to like his own yard very much. Every plant and tree in the yard was selected and tended by Gu Lanzhi himself. The eldest lady was afraid that Gu Lanzhi didn't want to change the yard.

After entering the house, the imperial physician first examined Gu Lanzhi's injuries.

The emperor said that he would ask the imperial physician to treat Gu Lanzhi, but in fact, wasn't it also to find out Gu Lanzhi's true condition?

Although Gu Lanzhi has a modern soul, how could he not understand this?

After the eldest lady saw the various injuries on Gu Lanzhi's body with her own eyes, she covered her mouth with her hands and couldn't stop crying.

Their brother was the darling of the whole mansion, so how could he have suffered so many and such horrific injuries!

Especially after seeing the arrow wound on Gu Lanzhi's chest and the long knife wound spreading across his entire back, the eldest lady's heart was broken.

"Brother, you...does it hurt, my brother?"

The eldest lady really wanted to rush over and hug Gu Lanzhi, but she knew she couldn't do that because the imperial physician was still giving Gu Lanzhi medicine!

Gu Jingcheng's eyes also turned red after seeing the injuries on his brother's body, and tears began to fall down.

When the young boy received the news that his brother was seriously injured, he didn't have any real feeling. Now seeing the injuries on his brother's body, the young boy realized how serious his brother's injuries were.
