Oh my god, can you play like this?

Gu Lanzhi was still talking with the eldest lady and his sister in the room when the servant came to report that the Minister and his son-in-law had arrived.

Gu Nanwan looked at Gu Lanzhi and the eldest lady strangely. They had been talking for such a long time, and Gu Lanzhi kept saying that he would help her vent her anger, but he never mentioned inviting her husband and father-in-law!

Gu Lanzhi looked at the eldest lady and said, "Auntie, please accompany me to meet our father-in-law. Sister, please go back to your yard first."

"I..." Gu Nanwan wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she felt there was no need to say it.

It's her mother and brother who are helping her, so why should she be so pretentious?

"Okay, then I'll go back to the yard first." After saying that, he walked out with a smile.

The eldest lady supported Gu Lanzhi and walked slowly to the front yard, chatting as they walked.

The Shangshu and his son Yin Heng, who were welcomed into the hall, were not as leisurely as Gu Lanzhi and the others. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Shangshu Yin whispered to his son, "Tell me, why did the general ask us to come?"

Yin Heng looked at his father and shook his head blankly.

The two of them attended court in the morning, then accompanied the emperor to welcome Gu Lanzhi, and after sending the emperor back to the palace, they went straight to work. They were invited to the general's mansion just after get off work. Yin Heng had no idea why.

Minister Yin stroked his beard and whispered, "The general's every word and action is now the focus of attention in the capital. He called you and me here right after he came back. I really don't know whether it is good or bad."

Yin Heng frowned slightly, "It shouldn't be a problem, he is Wanwan's brother..."

"He is your brother-in-law, so why did you ask your father to come?" Minister Yin interrupted his son before he could finish his words.

After listening to what Minister Yin said, Yin Heng didn't know how to answer his father's question, and the father and son remained silent.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the eldest lady finally helped Gu Lanzhi slowly walk into the house.

"General." The father and son stood up and saluted Gu Lanzhi.

"Come and sit down. We are at home now. There is no need to be like this." Gu Lanzhi said to the two of them calmly.

The eldest lady first helped Gu Lanzhi to sit in the main seat, and then she sat next to him.

The father and son looked at each other and sat down.

"I wonder why the general called me here?"

As soon as Minister Yin finished speaking, Yin Heng quickly interrupted his father and looked at Gu Lanzhi and asked, "How is the general's injury? Did the imperial physician have anything to say?"

After hearing what his son said, Minister Yin realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Everyone in Kyoto knew that the general was seriously injured. He did not ask about the general's injury at the beginning, but instead asked what he wanted to see him for. This seemed a bit inappropriate.

Gu Lanzhi didn't mind. He looked at Yin Heng and said with a smile, "He's lucky. He survived the most dangerous time. Now he just needs to be taken care of."

"Oh, that's the best. This way your sister won't have to worry too much. She has been talking about your injury these days!" Yin Heng said with concern on his face.

Gu Lanzhi's expression did not change, he was still smiling, "I have brought my sister and two nephews back, and I plan to let my sister live at home for a while.

We haven't seen each other for many years. Brother-in-law, you know that my sister and I have a very good relationship. You won't disagree, right?"

"No, no, the general is back, he should come back to take a look."

Gu Lanzhi smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Minister Yin.

"Sir, my sister should have been waiting for me at the city gate today. Tell me, my sister and I have such a good relationship, why didn't she come to pick me up today? Did I have to send someone to the mansion to pass on the message before my sister could return to her parents' home?"

Gu Lanzhi had a smile on his face, but both Minister Yin and Yin Heng felt a chill on their backs.

"That... might be..."

"Minister Yin, tell me, in your family, who has the final say, you, the Minister, or your wife?" Gu Lanzhi didn't like the ancients' roundabout way of speaking, so he spoke very directly.

He thinks that even if you talk in a roundabout way, you still have to get to the point in the end, so why bother?

Moreover, Gu Lanzhi is a first-rank general and will most likely be promoted in the future. There is really no need for him to spend so much effort with Yin Shangshu, a second-rank official. They are still talking about matters in the harem.

"This... General..." After hearing Gu Lanzhi's question, Minister Yin felt very embarrassed.

In the minds of the ancients, a man's position cannot be shaken. Gu Lanzhi's question was equivalent to throwing Minister Yin's face to the ground and stepping on it.

Gu Lanzhi was not looking at Minister Yin, but at Yin Heng again.

"Brother-in-law, I remember that before my uncle married my sister to you, he told you very clearly that you could only have my sister in your life. You also made it very clear that you would not take a concubine, but your mother has often put people in your room in the past few years. What does this mean?"

After saying this, Gu Lanzhi looked at Yin Shangshu again without waiting for Yin Heng's answer. The smile on his face completely disappeared and his eyes were extremely cold.

"Sir Shangshu, does your wife think that there is no one in my general's mansion, and my sister can be manipulated by her?

Not to mention that I am still here, even if I am gone, my general's mansion is not something that a minister's wife like her can humiliate!"

After hearing what Gu Lanzhi said, the Shangshu and Yin Heng both changed their expressions.

It’s a first-rank general’s mansion. Even the doorplate of the general’s mansion was personally granted by the emperor. How can it be compared with the Shangshu Mansion?

Besides, everyone in the court knows how Shangshu Yin got the position of Minister of Works!

Shangshu Yin Chunchun was lucky because the previous Shangshu suddenly fell ill and died while sleeping. The emperor then casually appointed Shangshu Yin to take over temporarily.

It was also because the position of Shangshu came suddenly and had no foundation, Shangshu Yin lived in fear every day for the past two years since he took over as Shangshu.

But it’s different in the General’s Mansion. Their family members have fought in the battlefield. They stand firm, and no one in the court will have the slightest doubt about them.

Now, because his wife had angered the emperor's favorite, Minister Yin was really upset, and he began to curse his wife in his heart.

When this daughter-in-law was first married, everyone in the Shangshu Mansion felt that he was marrying above his station.

He also had a good talk with his wife before his daughter-in-law came in, asking her to treat him well.

But from what General Gu said, it seems that the reason why his daughter-in-law did not go to the city gate to greet his brother today was because of his wife's problem!

And...that damn old woman actually dared to put someone into her own son's room?
