Gu Nanwan was in a hurry to go into the house to see her brother. She ran to Gu Lanzhi's yard without saying a word to her mother. She didn't know that Gu Lanzhi had called her husband and father-in-law over.

"Sister, you don't have to worry about anything. Just stay at home and relax. We can go back after your mother-in-law invites us three times and four times."

"Brother, what... do you mean? I've confused you." Gu Nanwan looked at Gu Lanzhi in confusion.

"Our brother is back. Don't ask anything, don't think about anything, just stay here." The eldest lady came over, pulling a boy with each hand.

Gu Lanzhi looked at the two boys that the eldest lady was holding. He recognized them. They were Gu Nanyue’s two sons. The older one was eight years old and the younger one was five years old.

The two children let go of the eldest lady's hand, saluted respectfully to Gu Lanzhi, and shouted, "Third Uncle."

Then he bowed to Gu Jingcheng and called him "Fifth Uncle."

The two children were well-educated, very polite and upright, but Gu Lanzhi was not an ancient person. He felt uncomfortable seeing children who were not even ten years old acting so maturely.

"Okay, okay, we're at home, no need to refuse like this."

After saying that, Gu Lanzhi looked at his eldest sister and said, "She must have taken after her brother-in-law. She's not lively at all. I remember they weren't like this when they were little!"

The eldest sister looked at Gu Lanzhi with amusement, "When you were their age, weren't you similar to them? After going to the battlefield in the past few years, your personality has changed a lot, and you have become more active."

When it comes to this, Gu Lanzhi feels guilty. He touches his nose to cover up, quickly changes the subject, and pats Gu Jingcheng's little head.

"You, the little uncle, can go and play with your two little nephews. I'll talk to Auntie and my sister."

Gu Jingcheng nodded obediently, took his sister to the eldest lady's side, and then left with his two nephews.

"Sister, let's go inside and talk." Gu Nanwan hurried forward to support her brother, and the eldest lady went into the house with the baby in her arms.

"Sister, has your mother-in-law always been mean to you, or has she only been mean to you in recent years?"

Hearing Gu Lanzhi's question, Gu Nanwan looked at the eldest lady in panic.

The eldest lady smiled at her daughter in a soothing manner, "Your brother knows your situation. Just answer whatever he asks truthfully."

Seeing the eldest lady say this, Gu Nanwan lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "When we first got married, my mother-in-law was very easy to talk to and never made things difficult for me."

"That means that she started to look at you in a disgraceful way because all the men in our Gu family died on the battlefield."

Gu Nanwan didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Haha..." Gu Lanzhi sneered and knew where the problem lay.

He looked at the eldest lady and asked, "Who is this Shangshu's wife from?"

"I heard that she is the Shangshu's distant cousin. She came to Kyoto after marrying the Shangshu. As for her family..."

Having said that, the eldest lady looked at Gu Nanwan.

Gu Nanwan continued the eldest lady's words, "My mother-in-law's father was once a prefect, a fourth-rank official.

Later, the family's descendants did not make much progress in their studies, and there seemed to be no one in the family who was an official, so he became a local official."

Gu Lanzhi nodded and smiled disdainfully, "What is the relationship between the Shangshu and his wife?"

Gu Nanwan thought for a moment and said, "They are all very polite and respectful to each other."

Gu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows, "How many concubines does the Shangshu have?"

"Fifth room."

"Oh! The Minister is still strong and healthy at his old age, hehe..." As soon as such an improper question was raised, Gu Lanzhi's true nature was exposed.

The eldest lady gave Gu Lanzhi a reproachful look, and Gu Nanwan turned her head away embarrassedly.

"Hmph... No wonder you said you wanted to let your brother-in-law take a concubine. If I remember correctly, my uncle told my brother-in-law before my sister got married that my family members cannot take concubines. My brother-in-law must be able to do that before he married my sister to me, right?"

The eldest lady sighed and said in a depressed tone: "Didn't your uncle pass away?"

"So what if he goes? It's not like there's no one left in my Gu family!" Gu Lanzhi sneered, "What's my brother-in-law's attitude?"

"he……"

Seeing Gu Nanwan's hesitation, Gu Lanzhi immediately became angry, "Did that bastard break his promise?"

"No, no, no! He doesn't have it now."

"Then why are you hesitating, sister?" Gu Lanzhi's eyes almost popped up.

"I think... I... sigh..." Gu Nanwan sighed heavily and then continued.

"Men are all lustful. Now my mother-in-law puts someone in our room and my husband can send the person back to her, but what will happen over time?

When my sister's beauty fades and her love fades, it will only be a matter of time!"

"Sooner or later? To put it bluntly, I just can't control the two ounces of meat under my crotch!"

As soon as Gu Lanzhi said this, both the eldest lady and Gu Nanwan blushed.

In modern times, everyone thinks that such things are no big deal, but in ancient times it was really not allowed. Things that happened between husband and wife in the bedroom could not be spoken of.

Gu Lanzhi said it so blatantly. The eldest lady and Gu Nanwan were both respectable ladies from wealthy families. How could they bear to hear such words?

In fact, after Gu Lanzhi finished speaking, he knew that he had said the wrong thing. He was really emotional and spoke too quickly.

Gu Lanzhi coughed twice to cover up, and then said: "Okay, I know the general situation, sister, you just stay at home recently, go wherever you want to go, do whatever you want, don't worry about anything and don't think too much.

I will definitely ask your mother-in-law to come and ask you to go back, and I will make her never dare to look at you with disdain again in her life."

Gu Nanwan knew her mother-in-law's temper. Although she felt that this was unlikely, she was still very grateful to her brother.

How could she not be touched when her brother defended her like this!

Gu Lanzhi is now a favorite of the emperor. There are many people outside the Gu Mansion who are watching what is going on there, and they all want to get in touch with Gu Lanzhi as soon as possible.

The people who looked after the Gu Mansion took the eldest daughter and the two young masters back home. At first, everyone thought it was nothing. Gu Nanwan was a member of the Gu family. It was normal for her brother to return home victoriously and for her sister to bring her children home to see her brother!

But after the Shangshu and his son were welcomed into the Gu Mansion, the people who were following them quickly passed the news to their master.

Everyone was wondering why the general called his brother-in-law and his father home on the first day he returned home.

What happens in the court affects the entire body, so any information should not be underestimated.
