Oh my god, can you play like this?

Gu Shurui cursed Gu Lanzhi viciously in his heart, but no matter how he cursed, he still had to bow his head to Gu Lanzhi and seek his help.

Because Gu Shurui knew that if he didn't have Gu Lanzhi's help and only relied on his own strength, he would probably never see the Fifth Prince again.

Gu Shurui looked up at his own mother who was keeping her head down and saying nothing, closed his eyes in annoyance, got up from the couch and walked out.

The third lady didn't know what Gu Shurui was going to do, so she quickly said, "Rui'er, what are you going to do?"

Gu Shurui stopped but did not turn around. "Neither you nor I have a way to get close to the Fifth Prince, so we have to find someone who has a way to get close to the Fifth Prince."

After saying that, Gu Shurui ignored the Third Madam and went straight out of the yard.

The eldest lady was supporting Gu Lanzhi and just as they were walking back to Gu Lanzhi's room, the servant arrived at the door.

"General, the fourth young master wants to see you outside the courtyard."

The eldest lady looked at Gu Lanzhi, who curled her lips and said to her, "Auntie, you go back first."

The eldest lady didn't say much. She just nodded and left. Gu Shurui was led into the house by the servants.

"What's the matter?" Gu Lanzhi asked knowingly as he slowly sat down on the chair.

Gu Shurui said with embarrassment, "Can you...can you let me meet the Fifth Prince?"

"What? You can't see the fifth prince yourself?" Gu Lanzhi said sarcastically.

Gu Shurui gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "I went to the palace gate to wait for the fifth prince to leave the court, but he did not see me."

"Oh? Why is that? Aren't you and the Fifth Prince in love? Why hasn't he seen you yet?"

Gu Lanzhi knew very well what happened at the palace gate. He deliberately humiliated Gu Shurui. It was Gu Shurui who had wronged his original self, and Gu Lanzhi was just venting his anger.

"You...don't you know everything? Why are you humiliating me like this?"

"Humiliation? Then you took advantage of my absence to seduce the Fifth Prince, so you are not humiliating me?"

Gu Shurui didn't know what to say after being confronted with just one sentence.

"You have humiliated me, why can't I humiliate you? You have done it, and you don't want people to say anything?

You are already such a grown-up, you should be responsible for what you have done, and you should stand at attention when you are beaten. Don't you understand this truth?" Gu Lanzhi looked at Gu Shurui's face jokingly.

Gu Shurui looked at Gu Lanzhi angrily, but was sensible enough to say nothing.

"Fourth brother, there is something I just can't figure out, can you help me solve it?"

"What's the matter?"

Gu Shurui didn't know why Gu Lanzhi suddenly said such words again, and looked at Gu Lanzhi in confusion.

"Before I went to war, my fourth brother was still the little brother who was very close to me and liked to be by my side.

What happened in these four years that caused the younger brother in my memory to change so much that I can't believe he is my younger brother.

Can you tell me why this is? "

Gu Shurui did not speak, but looked at Gu Lanzhi. His eyes changed from initial resentment to calmness of memories, then to unwillingness, and finally back to resentment.

"Gu Lanzhi, you have been loved by everyone in the general's mansion since you were a child. Everyone pampers you and indulges you. Has anyone ever seen me?

Even if I am by your side every day, no one cares about me. Why?

Even if my father brings something back for the children at home, what I get are the ones you have left over. He is my father, why should he value you so much?

Even if they are classmates or friends, they can only become my friends if you introduce them to me. Why?

Why should I always be inferior to you? How am I, Gu Shurui, worse than you? "

After shouting out this paragraph, Gu Shurui seemed to have untied the knot in his heart. Tears rolled around in his eyes for a few times, and finally flowed down slowly.

But after listening to Gu Shurui's words, Gu Lanzhi not only did not sympathize with him, but instead looked down on him even more.

Isn't this pure jealousy?

“You know that my physical condition is different from yours, and isn’t it common for that family to have a preference for me?

Aren't all the brothers in the same situation as me treated the same way? Why do you think it's wrong?"

"I don't care about other people's affairs. I only talk about my family." Gu Shurui stiffened his neck and glared at Gu Lanzhi.

Gu Lanzhi originally wanted to have a good talk with Gu Shurui, but seeing Gu Shurui's attitude, Gu Lanzhi also got angry.

He looked at Gu Shurui with contempt, sneered and said, "What can you compare with me?

Let's talk about appearance first. Can you compare yourself to me? Do you think you look better than me? Are you taller than me?

As for my knowledge, I had passed the examination for a scholar before I entered the army at the age of fourteen. If I had not been trained in the army, I would have been a Jinshi. May I ask, what is your status? Have you passed the examination for a scholar?

Martial arts? You and I both started practicing martial arts at the age of four, so how come I have mastered it while you are limited to self-defense?

I am a brother and I can endure the hardship of learning martial arts, so why can't you?

If you want your family to value you, you have to have something to show for it, right?

You are neither good at literature nor martial arts, you are not good-looking and you don’t have eloquence. Tell me, how can you compare with me?

I'm not belittling you, but if you have something that can compare with mine, I will respect you!"

Gu Lanzhi's words made Gu Shurui's face turn red with shame and indignation, but he couldn't say a word in rebuttal.

Gu Lanzhi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly seemed to understand, and said as if he had suddenly realized something: "Oh! I understand!

It's because you can't compare to me in anything, there's nothing you can compare to me, so you took advantage of my absence in Kyoto to seduce the Fifth Prince.

The purpose is to embarrass me, to shock me, and to make me fail in the important matter of marriage, right? "

Gu Shurui didn't say anything, but there was a hint of boasting on his face.

But Gu Lanzhi's next words made Gu Shurui's faint smile freeze on his face.

"What a pity! You went to so much trouble to hook up with the Fifth Prince, but he still ignored you after I came back?"

Gu Shurui really wanted to cover Gu Lanzhi's mouth with a rag. The look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Lanzhi was enough to spit fire.

"But I'm still a little surprised. I didn't notice your resentment towards me before I went on the expedition. Did you hide it too well before? Or did someone instill such thoughts in you in the past four years, causing you to have such a big change?"

As soon as Gu Lanzhi finished speaking, Gu Shurui's mind immediately appeared the figure of his mother and the words his mother often said to him.
