Oh my god, can you play like this?

Chapter 28: Protect? Can you protect her?

Minister Yin never asked about matters in the backyard, he left them to his wife. He just wanted his backyard to be peaceful.

But he never imagined that his wife would be so bold as to put someone in her son's room!

When the general married his daughter off, everyone in his family knew that the general was not allowed to take concubines. How dare his wife do that?

Just like Gu Lanzhi said, he is still here! Even if he is gone, the Shangshu Mansion cannot bully this daughter-in-law!

Minister Yin was sweating.

"Oh, and what's the matter with your wife not letting my sister go back to her parents' home? My sister hasn't been home for several months. The Shangshu Mansion is not too far from the general, right?

What? If she enters your Shangshu Mansion, my sister will no longer be the eldest daughter of my General Mansion?"

"What? There is such a thing?" the Shangshu asked in surprise.

Gu Lanzhi did not answer Minister Yin's question, but looked at Yin Heng jokingly.

"Your Excellency Shangshu is busy with official duties and can say that you don't know about this, but Yin Heng, you are my sister's husband, how could you not know about this?

Do you have the same idea as your mother, thinking that my General's Mansion is weak and you can look down on my sister?"

"No! Really not! I have told my mother many times, but..." Yin Heng explained to Gu Lanzhi anxiously.

Gu Lanzhi interrupted Yin Heng directly, "That's your mother, if you were so determined to protect my sister, do you think this would still happen?

Your mother stuffed someone into your room, and you just sent her back without any hesitation, right?

If you take a tougher attitude, will your mother continue to send people into your room?

If you had made it clear that you wanted to protect my sister, would your mother still use her status as a mother-in-law to suppress my sister and prevent her from returning to her parents' home?

Or do you think that since my sister has married you, there will never be a day when you can divorce her?"

After saying the last sentence, Yin Heng stood up in shock.

"Divorce? No way!"

Gu Lanzhi supported his chin with one hand and looked at Yin Heng with contempt.

"Why not? My uncle and his wife married my sister off so that she wouldn't have to be bullied by others in her life.

Since you can't ensure that my sister will live a worry-free life, why can't I divorce you and find someone else who can protect my sister forever?

"How can a divorce be a joke? Your sister and I have two sons. Do you know what kind of reputation a divorced woman will have?"

"Reputation? Haha..." Gu Lanzhi looked at Yin Heng coldly.

"As the eldest daughter of my general's mansion, even if we are divorced, who dares to say anything? If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I don't mind having a good chat with that person.

I have been in and out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood countless times. It’s just cutting off a tongue, that’s no big deal!

With my General's Mansion as my backer, it won't be difficult for me to find someone who can love and protect my sister for the rest of her life after the divorce!"

Shangshu Yin and Yin Heng were both civil servants and weak scholars. They had never seen what a battlefield was like, but that didn't stop them from being afraid of Gu Lanzhi.

Anyone who can walk back from the battlefield is someone who can kill without blinking an eye. Gu Lanzhi just stopped smiling, but the aura on his body was already very oppressive.

"No... no divorce. Wanwan and I will not divorce."

Facing Gu Lanzhi's cold eyes, Yin Heng felt a little scared, but he would not agree to a divorce. He had a very good relationship with Gu Nanwan and he loved Gu Nanwan very much.

It was simply because the person who had a conflict with Gu Nanwan was his mother, and because of filial piety he could not disobey his mother, so he used a gentle attitude to resolve the conflict with his mother.

"No divorce? Haha... I can't stand anyone bullying my sister!

Did you know that your mother punished my sister by making her stand for two hours just because she was not feeling well in the morning?

The eldest daughter of my general's mansion was punished to stand for two hours, and you still say you don't want to divorce?

My sister has a good temper, she is gentle and generous and doesn't bother with her mother-in-law, but I, Gu Lanzhi, am not someone who is easy to talk to!

It’s not easy to get over the bullying of my sister.

This is just the bullying that I know about my sister having suffered. There is more that I don’t know about!

Yin Heng, is this what you promised my uncle back then, that you would take care of my sister for the rest of your life? "

"I...I..." Yin Heng was speechless, because it was indeed his fault that he did not do well enough, and he had no way to defend himself.

The audience in the live broadcast room all sent barrages of comments to cheer for Gu Lanzhi, saying that it was a relief and that Gu Lanzhi was so domineering. Gu Lanzhi just glanced at them and ignored them.

The live broadcast room had never been closed, so everyone in the room knew very well what was happening with Gu Nanwan. Seeing Gu Lanzhi trying so aggressively to save Gu Nanwan, everyone felt relieved.

"What? Can't you tell?

Now that I'm married, I can still be bullied. Do you think I will let my sister continue to be bullied?"

Yin Heng really had no other choice and looked at the eldest lady for help.

The eldest lady hadn't spoken a word since she entered the room. She had been listening quietly to what Gu Lanzhi and the others were saying.

The eldest lady was touched and relieved.

Gu Nanwan is her biological daughter. How could she, as a mother, feel good if her daughter was bullied?

But she was a woman, and was bound by feudal ideas. She always felt that once her daughter was married off, she was like water spilled. Even though she, as a mother, felt distressed, there was nothing she could do.

Especially when Gu Lanzhi mentioned the divorce, the eldest lady was very nervous, fearing that Gu Lanzhi would really divorce Gu Nanwan.

Even if, as Gu Lanzhi said, Gu Nanwan is the eldest daughter of the general's mansion, a divorced woman will never be able to hold her head up high and will be gossiped about by others.

Although the eldest lady was nervous, she said nothing, let alone interrupting Gu Lanzhi. She knew better than anyone that Gu Lanzhi was supporting them and their daughter.

The eldest lady is a smart woman and will not say much at this time. Since she has decided to leave everything to Gu Lanzhi, she will not interfere.

Now that Yin Heng has asked for help from her, the eldest lady is really afraid that Gu Lanzhi has spoken too confidently and there is no room for maneuver.

But the eldest lady did not speak immediately. Instead, she glanced at Gu Lanzhi implicitly. Gu Lanzhi also winked at the eldest lady very cunningly, and then the eldest lady spoke.

"The reason why the master and I decided to marry Wanwan to you was because we had known each other since childhood. You also agreed to the master's conditions, so we decided to marry Wanwan to you.

But now, although you haven’t taken a concubine, you haven’t been able to protect Wanwan from worries for the rest of her life…”

"Mother, I know I was wrong. I will do my best to protect Wanwan in the future." Yin Heng said anxiously.

"Protect? Can you do it? The one who made things difficult for my sister was your mother. Are you sure you can protect her? Isn't it because that person is your mother that you have been doing nothing all this time?"
