Chapter 39 This General's Mansion Really Has No Hospitality Skills

"You little brat, he's the prince! How can you be so reckless? If this word gets out, you'll be in big trouble even if you're a great general with great military achievements!" Gu Nanwan said with lingering fear.

The eldest lady also looked at Gu Lanzhi with resentment.

Gu Lanzhi then realized that he had indeed said the wrong thing.

This was ancient times, and people had a very strong sense of class. The royal family could not be offended. Gu Lanzhi really spoke without restraint at the time.

When you come to this world, you must abide by the rules of this world. Gu Lanzhi has never forgotten this.

"Hehe... Sister, I said the wrong thing. I will be more careful next time." Gu Lanzhi said with a grin.

The eldest lady glared at Gu Lanzhi in reproach, "You! Even at home, you are not allowed to make irresponsible remarks about the royal family in the future, do you understand?"

Gu Lanzhi nodded repeatedly without paying attention, "I know, I know!"

As soon as Gu Lanzhi finished speaking, the servant entered the yard.

"General, Madam, Miss, Minister Yin's wife is here to visit."

The eldest lady and Gu Lanzhi looked at each other, and Gu Lanzhi said with a smile: "Auntie, let's go and take a look."

The eldest lady put down the clothes she was sewing and said, "Wan'er, take Yan'er back to your yard first. No one told you not to leave the yard."

Gu Nanwan helped Gu Lanzhi stand up, glanced at her mother, nodded and said, "Yes, mother."

The mother and daughter helped Gu Lanzhi walk out of the yard slowly, and Gu Nanwan took Gu Nanyan back to her own yard.

"Auntie, do you think the Shangshu's wife is sensible or not?" The two of them walked slowly and chatted.

"He must be an ignorant person, otherwise he wouldn't do those things."

Gu Lanzhi nodded in agreement, "Since he is an ignorant person, let's deal with him in an ignorant way."

The eldest lady glanced at Gu Lanzhi, and Gu Lanzhi gave her a reassuring look in return.

Gu Lanzhi said these words to the eldest lady to remind her not to be too gentle with the Shangshu's wife.

Gu Lanzhi knew the eldest lady's temperament well, and was afraid that she would suffer a loss because of her gentle personality when she met the Shangshu's wife.

How could the eldest lady not know what Gu Lanzhi meant? She said nothing, but just smiled and patted Gu Lanzhi's arm, telling Gu Lanzhi that she knew what to do.

Today, before the Minister went to court, he specially ordered someone to remind his wife to go to the General's Mansion early to apologize.

The Shangshu's wife was already very reluctant to go to the General's Mansion, and the Shangshu even sent someone to remind her, which made her even more annoyed about going to the General's Mansion. She had not forgotten the slaps she received yesterday, and she blamed it all on Gu Nanwan.

She had picked out a lot of valuable things yesterday, but when the Shangshu sent someone to remind her, she became rebellious and didn't want to give away valuable things. She just picked a few things at random to get it over with.

After arriving at the general's mansion, she had been sitting in the main hall for such a long time, and no one had offered her tea, which made the Shangshu's wife even more unhappy.

"This general's mansion really has no idea how to entertain guests. They didn't even serve a cup of tea. This is a first-class general's mansion, but they are so ignorant of etiquette." The Shangshu's wife complained to her maid and nanny in a loud voice.

Gu Lanzhi and the eldest lady walked to the door of the house and heard the Shangshu's wife's complaint. They looked at each other and smiled coldly.

In fact, Gu Lanzhi had already instructed not to serve tea to the Shangshu's wife last night, just because he didn't want to give the Shangshu's wife a good face.

Originally they thought they could let the Shangshu's wife know their attitude, but they didn't expect that the Shangshu's wife was not a smart person.

"It seems that our general's mansion is not in the eyes of the Minister's wife! Then why did the Minister's wife come to our general's mansion? We didn't invite her to come, did we?" Gu Lanzhi said this coldly as he entered the room.

Hearing Gu Lanzhi's words, the Shangshu's wife immediately stood up. She really didn't expect that the general would come with the eldest lady.

The Shangshu's wife is a female member of the family. Normally, she is received by the eldest lady, so the general does not need to come.

But the general not only came, but also heard what she had just said. The Shangshu's wife's heart skipped a beat and she knew something bad was going to happen.

She had nothing to fear when facing the eldest lady, but if she were to face the general, as a woman, she would not dare to act rashly.

"Greetings, General, Madam." The Shangshu's wife greeted them with lowered eyebrows.

"I dare not trouble the Madam Shangshu. I wonder why you came to my general's mansion. I am recovering at home, so I just happened to come here to accompany the Madam."

The eldest lady helped Gu Lanzhi sit in the main seat. Gu Lanzhi looked up and saw the face of the Shangshu's wife. He was stunned for a moment.

"Ouch? What's wrong with Madam Shangshu's face?" Gu Lanzhi asked knowingly.

The slaps that the Minister gave him last night were very strong. Although the maid treated his wife, her face is still a little red and swollen today.

Gu Lanzhi knew at a glance that she had been slapped, and tried hard not to laugh. The main reason was that the Shangshu's wife had an average appearance to begin with, and now with her red and swollen face, she did not look very good at all.

Hearing Gu Lanzhi's words, Madam Shangshu said embarrassedly: "I have an allergy recently, it's not a big deal."

Gu Lanzhi looked at the Shangshu's wife with a smile on his face. He had no intention of asking her to sit down, but he didn't make any sarcastic remarks either.

After all, the two families are relatives, and it would be embarrassing to do so.

The Shangshu's wife was a guest at the house. The host did not invite her to sit down, and she could not sit down by herself. She quickly said, "I was not feeling well yesterday, so I left my daughter-in-law to take care of me by the bed. I delayed my daughter-in-law's visit to the city gate to greet the general. I hope the general will not mind."

Before Gu Lanzhi could reply, the eldest lady took over the conversation, "Maybe the Shangshu Madam didn't delay Wan'er's going to greet him, but didn't want Wan'er to go to greet him, right?"

The Shangshu's wife looked at the eldest lady in surprise. The eldest lady had been living a secluded life in recent years and rarely went out unless it was absolutely necessary.

Even when he went out to meet the ladies and daughters of the various mansions, he would remain silent and avoid them if possible. He had never been as ruthless as he was now.

The Shangshu's wife had met the eldest lady at some banquets before. She always said some unpleasant words to bully the eldest lady, and the eldest lady never said anything back, so the eldest lady's reaction today surprised the Shangshu's wife.

She muttered in her heart, "Seeing that the general is back, someone is backing her up, how dare they not give her face!"

"No, I really didn't feel well yesterday." The Shangshu's wife said embarrassedly.

"You weren't feeling unwell just yesterday, were you? Wan'er hasn't been back to the general's mansion for a long time. She's been taking care of you, her unwell mother-in-law, right?" The eldest lady's aura was no longer as weak as it had been in the past few years. She acted like the mistress of the general's mansion.
