Oh my god, can you play like this?

Gu Lanzhi has done so much for the mother and daughter, how could the eldest lady embarrass Gu Lanzhi? She must behave like the wife of a first-rank general.

The Shangshu's wife looked at the First Lady in astonishment and forgot to speak for a moment. Today, the First Lady seemed to have turned back into the First Lady she was when Yin Heng and Gu Nanyue had just gotten married, dignified, sharp, and not to be underestimated.

The eldest lady has restrained her aura over the years, and the Shangshu's wife has forgotten the eldest lady's charm in the past.

Gu Lanzhi looked at the lady who was in full force and curled his lips in satisfaction.

The current eldest lady is the one in his memory! The eldest daughter-in-law of the general's mansion should be so powerful. Gu Lanzhi is very satisfied with the current eldest lady.

Since the eldest lady was no longer tolerant, there was no need for Gu Lanzhi to intervene and he was happy to watch the show from the side.

The Shangshu's wife was stunned for a long time, and then she spoke awkwardly, "I haven't been feeling well recently, and my daughter-in-law is filial, so she stays by my bed every day."

Gu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't like the Shangshu's wife, she was an official's wife after all. What she said was very sophisticated.

The ancients attached great importance to filial piety. Are you trying to use filial piety to suppress the eldest lady's words?

"Really? It seems that the Shangshu Mansion is completely dependent on my daughter. Otherwise, how come there is not even a maid willing to serve the Madam her medicine? My daughter has been so tired that she has not had time to return to the General's Mansion, which is not far away, for more than half a year!"

The verbal confrontation between the two women was watched with great interest by Gu Lanzhi and the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Wan'er is the eldest daughter-in-law of our Shangshu Mansion. She is indeed a good child who knows how to be filial. That's why she has always been guarding me, her mother-in-law." Although the Shangshu's wife's words sounded nice, the pride in her eyes was very obvious.

"Oh? Then according to the Minister's wife, you have not been in good health for more than half a year, and you have been bedridden all the time?" The eldest lady was not to be outdone.

"It's not that I haven't gotten out of bed, but I haven't been feeling well."

"Haha... I really didn't realize that a month ago, the Shangshu's wife made a big fuss in the mansion and sold off the Shangshu's two concubines and a maid who had just been taken in. This matter was known to everyone in Kyoto. I really didn't realize that the Shangshu's wife, who had done such a great deed, was in poor health.

According to people who live close to the Shangshu Mansion, the Shangshu's wife has such a loud voice that people next door can hear her clearly! "The eldest lady sighed and looked at the Shangshu's wife.

"Oh? There is such a thing? Madam, tell me about it." Gu Lanzhi enjoyed watching the fun.

Just as the eldest lady was about to start speaking to Gu Lanzhi, the Shangshu's wife interrupted her immediately.

"Well... I'm here today to apologize to the general. Bring all the things here." The Shangshu's wife said loudly to her maid.

In ancient times, it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. However, the abnormal thing was that women in ancient times not only could not stop men from taking concubines, but they were also not allowed to be jealous.

Being jealous is one of the seven grounds for divorce and the husband may divorce his wife immediately.

In the eyes of the ancients, if a wife prevented her husband from taking a concubine, it would be considered harmful to the continuation of the family, which was a serious crime.

Although the Shangshu's wife sold out her husband's concubines because they disrespected her as the mistress of the house, outsiders did not know the story behind it. In the eyes of outsiders, the Shangshu's wife was just jealous.

Her reputation spread among the ladies of the wealthy families in Kyoto City, and became the Achilles' heel of the Shangshu's wife, a heel that could not be mentioned.

To put it bluntly, she was afraid that the Shangshu would divorce her because of such rumors, especially since he had already told her to return to her parents' home last night.

Even though the Shangshu, a second-rank official, would not divorce his wife easily, his wife was still afraid.

She is so old now, what will she do if she is really divorced?

Seeing that the Shangshu's wife was anxious, the First Lady stopped being aggressive and gave both of them some leeway. But when the First Lady saw the gifts that the Shangshu's wife brought, her face turned dark.

A few pieces of common cloth commonly found on the market and some low-end ornaments and jewelry were all things that would not appeal to these ladies.

Although the gift is just a token of my thoughtfulness, you are the wife of a second-rank official, how can you be from a poor family?

If you were from a poor family, the lady would accept your kindness even if you gave her a piece of cake, but the problem is that you are not from a poor family!

Officials' families don't give each other gifts, and although they don't need to give anything particularly expensive, look at what the Shangshu's wife sent. The two governments are still relatives!

Who are you looking down on? The things that the Shangshu's wife brought were telling others that the Shangshu Mansion looked down on the General's Mansion!

After seeing these things, Gu Lanzhi was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed, and his laugh was particularly hearty.

Just before the eldest lady was about to lose her temper, he quickly held down her arm.

"Good, good, very good, Madam Shangshu, you are very good.

Didn't you say you came to apologize to me today? Was it because you didn't let my sister pick me up at the city gate yesterday?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I hope the general won't blame me." The Shangshu's wife didn't know whether she really didn't notice the abnormality between the eldest lady and Gu Lanzhi, or if she did it on purpose. She looked at Gu Lanzhi with a smile on her face.

Gu Lanzhi nodded with a big laugh and said, "Okay, I understand. My health is still not good, so I won't receive the Shangshu Madam. Please go back!"

The eldest lady was suppressing her anger. When she heard Gu Lanzhi say this, she looked at him in astonishment.

Gu Lanzhi still smiled and gently shook his head at the Madam, signaling her not to explode.

Although the eldest lady didn't know why Gu Lanzhi was like this, she still obediently said nothing, but her face was extremely gloomy.

The Shangshu's wife didn't care about the eldest lady's expression. Seeing Gu Lanzhi accepting the gift with a smile, her mission was accomplished, and she left the general's mansion with joy on her face.

Although the general's attitude had been quite good since he entered the room, the Shangshu's wife just didn't want to stay with Gu Lanzhi any longer, so she ran away as soon as she could.

After the Shangshu's wife left the general's mansion, the eldest lady could no longer suppress her anger. She stood up and looked at Gu Lanzhi with anger on her face.

"Brother, she humiliated us like this, why did you let her go without saying anything?"

"What else can you do if you don't let her go? Auntie, can you still beat her up?

Auntie, can you do that? Hahaha..." Gu Lanzhi laughed very happily.
