Oh my god, can you play like this?

The people who were most surprised after hearing Gu Lanzhi's words were not Yin Heng, but the First Lady and Gu Nanwan. They really did not expect that the Shangshu would actually beat his wife.

Ever since the first lady got married, her husband has always taken good care of her. Not only has he never hit her, he has never even said a harsh word to her.

After Gu Nanwan married Yin Heng, Yin Heng had always been very good to her. And in Gu Nanwan's impression, Minister Yin didn't seem like someone who would hit his wife!

Gu Lanzhi didn't know what Gu Nanwan was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely say that one should not judge a person by his appearance.

The eldest lady and Gu Nanwan looked at each other, then both looked at Yin Heng.

In fact, when returning to the general's mansion, Yin Heng already had the idea in his mind that his mother would be beaten. Now after hearing the news, Yin Heng felt very calm.

He had already seen his father slap his mother yesterday, and today’s incident at the palace gate was such a big deal, it was unlikely that his father would not get angry and beat his mother.

But now everyone at the table was looking at him, and it would be unreasonable for Yin Heng not to want to go back home.

Yin Heng calmly put down his chopsticks, patted Gu Nanwan's arm soothingly, and smiled faintly at the eldest lady, "Mother-in-law, I'll go back to the Shangshu Mansion first."

The eldest lady didn't say anything, but nodded to Yin Heng, and Yin Heng got up and left the dining hall.

Gu Lanzhi, who was sitting on the side, looked at Yin Heng's indifferent reaction and narrowed his eyes slightly.

If Yin Heng acted flustered or looked ashamed, Gu Lanzhi would think it was normal, but Yin Heng's calm expression was a bit intriguing.

It seems that I have to pay more attention to Yin Heng in the future.

Gu Lanzhi's position as a general is very sensitive. He cannot relax his guard against Yin Heng just because Yin Heng is his family member. Being stabbed in the back is a common occurrence.

Gu Lanzhi calmly started eating again, but he was alert in his heart.

You can't blame Gu Lanzhi for being paranoid. This is the case for everyone who has experienced the end of the world. They won't easily trust anyone except themselves.

In the Fifth Prince’s Mansion, the Fifth Prince’s confidant walked into the Fifth Prince’s study.

"Master, the General's Mansion did not accept the herbs we sent."

The Fifth Prince nodded calmly; he had guessed this would be the result.

The rumors about him and Gu Shurui had originally been suppressed, but they started spreading again in the past two days. Although the Fifth Prince's people did not find out who started the rumors, both the Fifth Prince and his advisers felt that it was the work of the General.

The confidant looked up at the Fifth Prince and continued, "The general sent someone to bring a message saying that the Fourth Prince is depressed and thinking about you, the master. Please talk to the Fourth Prince when you have nothing to do."

As soon as the confidant finished speaking, the Fifth Prince put down the brush in his hand and looked at the confidant with sharp eyes.

"Is that what he said?"

"The messenger said it was the general who said it."

The fifth prince narrowed his eyes and pondered for a long time, "Do you think he is jealous or does he really want me to get closer to Gu Shurui? Does he want to bring Gu Shurui with him when he marries me?"

The confidant lowered his head and said, "I don't know."

The fifth prince glanced at his confidant and picked up the brush again, "Go and call all the counselors over."

The confidant clasped his hands together and said, "Yes, Master."

The fifth prince lowered his head and looked at the half-written words on the desk. He no longer had the mood to continue writing.

Gu Lanzhi was in no mood to care about the commotion outside. After lunch, the eldest lady helped Gu Lanzhi back to his yard, and Gu Lanzhi began to bask in the sun leisurely.

After all, his injuries had not healed yet, and he fell asleep again after sunbathing for a while.

When I woke up, I was woken up by the sound of servants moving tables and chairs.

Gu Lanzhi opened his eyes hazily and saw Gu Jingcheng standing not far from him.

"Cheng'er, what are you doing?" Gu Lanzhi looked at the table placed next to his recliner in confusion.

Gu Jingcheng heard the voice and turned to look at Gu Lanzhi, "Brother, I will accompany you to bask in the sun."

"Ah?" Having just woken up, Gu Lanzhi's brain wasn't functioning very smoothly, and for a moment he didn't react to what Gu Jingcheng meant.

Gu Jingcheng did not give Gu Lanzhi much explanation, but just smiled at Gu Lanzhi.

After the servants had set up the table and chairs, Gu Jingcheng sat down at the table and took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Only then did Gu Lanzhi understand what Gu Jingcheng meant by accompanying him in basking in the sun.

Gu Lanzhi was just basking in the sun, while Gu Jingcheng was completing his homework while basking in the sun.

Looking at the young boy who still had to study hard, Gu Lanzhi also remembered his own school days, and instantly felt a sense of superiority. He no longer needed to study, hehe...

Gu Lanzhi rocked contentedly in the rocking chair, enjoying the comfortable life.

There is no need to worry about the danger that may occur at any time, no need to worry about not having food, and no need to worry about the terrible weather. Life is so comfortable now.

When the eldest lady brought Xiao Yan'er to Gu Lanzhi's yard, she saw the young man reading and studying, while Gu Lanzhi was rocking in the rocking chair with a look of satisfaction.

The eldest lady did not walk over immediately, but just looked at the scene quietly for a while with a warm smile on her face.

Little Yan'er was also very sensible. Seeing that the lady didn't walk over or say anything, she quietly held the lady's hand and looked at everything in the yard in a daze.

"Brother, what does the battlefield look like?" Gu Jingcheng suddenly asked.

Gu Lanzhi opened his eyes and looked at Gu Jingcheng, "Cruel." Gu Lanzhi's words were concise.

"Cruel? Do you mean the killing?"

Gu Lanzhi shook his head, exhaled a long breath and said slowly: "Not only that, fighting is cruel, but every soldier is raised by his parents. Their life and death is not only about themselves, but also involves a family, or even a clan."

Thinking about what Gu Lanzhi said, Gu Jingcheng nodded.

"Have you started learning the art of war?" Gu Lanzhi asked Gu Jingcheng.

"I've only just started reading some books related to warfare, and I haven't read as deeply into the art of war yet."

"Cheng'er, brother hopes that you read these just because you are interested in them, not because you want to inherit anything.

Although our family is a military family, we have been loyal to the Dongshun Kingdom and there is no need for a little guy like you to bear anything.

I know that you think I am different from other men, and that as a man I should inherit our family tradition.

But our Gu family only became generals from our grandfather's generation. It's not that our Gu family has always been a military family.

So there is nothing you have to inherit, and don't give yourself such a psychological hint. Everything is just based on your preference. Do you understand what my brother means?"
