Oh my god, can you play like this?

Looking at Gu Shurui's eyes full of grievance, he couldn't bring himself to say anything cruel.

Besides, Gu Shurui is still useful as a chess piece, and he cannot abandon Gu Shurui for the time being. Since he cannot abandon him, he can only continue to coax him.

It is said that before, Gu Shurui fell into the gentle offensive of the Fifth Prince and couldn't extricate himself, but now, Gu Shurui didn't believe a word the Fifth Prince said.

But he still had the task assigned by Gu Lanzhi, and he couldn't be too strict with his words. If he pushed people too hard, something might go wrong.

Gu Shurui wisely stopped forcing him and just let the Fifth Prince know that he was not a person who knew nothing.

After that, the two people's mode of getting along is that one coaxes the other with soft words, while the other seems to be coaxed into a good mood but actually does not believe a word in his heart.

The two of them ate the meal with their own ulterior motives. No matter how the Fifth Prince asked about Gu Lanzhi or the things happening in the General's Mansion, Gu Shurui just replied that everything was normal and that everyone in the mansion was taking care of Gu Lanzhi's recovery.

The Fifth Prince knew that Gu Shurui was just being perfunctory, but he couldn't break off relations with him, and the meal ended in this weird atmosphere.

When leaving Piaoxiang Tower, Gu Shurui left first, and the Fifth Prince sat in Piaoxiang Tower for another half an hour before leaving.

As soon as Gu Shurui returned to the general's mansion, he went straight to Gu Lanzhi's yard.

Gu Lanzhi was still rocking in the rocking chair leisurely in the sun. He was a general and had plenty of people under him to help him do things.

He has already handed the blueprint of the villa to Mo Yi, asking Mo Yi to order people to build the villa. As a patient, he just needs to focus on recovering from his injuries.

Gu Jingcheng had also finished class and returned home, and was doing his homework next to Gu Lanzhi.

When Gu Jingcheng heard the servant say that Gu Shurui had arrived, his writing hand paused for a moment, but he did not look up and continued to do his homework.

"Are you back?" Gu Shurui came in front of Gu Lanzhi, and Gu Lanzhi asked first.

"Yeah, I just came back." Gu Shurui lowered his head slightly, his eyes were lonely and he was in a bad mood.

"Is there any progress?"

Gu Shurui didn't say anything, just shook his head, and then told him everything about his meeting with the Fifth Prince, in which the Fifth Prince tried to trick him into asking about the situation in the General's Mansion.

Of course, he did not say that the fifth prince kissed him. The ancients were ashamed to talk about such private matters.

After listening to Gu Shurui's words, Gu Lanzhi smiled coldly and looked at Gu Shurui, "Do you still like such a person?"

The ancients were so reserved, no one would express their love casually, so when Gu Shurui heard this, his face immediately turned red, and he secretly glanced at Gu Jingcheng who was doing his homework.

Seeing that Gu Jingcheng didn't react at all and was still focused on his own things, Gu Shurui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He pursed his lips, took another step closer to Gu Lanzhi, and whispered, "Although I already know that the Fifth Prince is not a good man, but..."

Gu Lanzhi sighed softly, "Alas... first love is always the most beautiful and the hardest to let go. Even if you already know that you are not very important in that person's heart, you just can't let go."

Gu Shurui pursed his lips again and said nothing.

"So what are your plans next?" This is what Gu Lanzhi cares about most.

“I was indeed reckless in forcing myself to see the Fifth Prince these days, and it embarrassed the Fifth Prince and my third brother.

I will meet the Fifth Prince in the next few days. Let's ease the relationship first. It's not good to be too aggressive."

Gu Lanzhi looked at Gu Shurui unexpectedly and praised him, "Not bad, you have a brain now!"

Gu Shurui glared at Gu Lanzhi and puffed out his chest, "I admit that I was deceived and did something wrong, but now that I know I was wrong, I will make amends.

Since you, Third Brother, don't want to marry the Fifth Prince, even if I can't have any good results with the Fifth Prince, I will do everything I can to ruin your engagement with the Fifth Prince."

To put it bluntly, Gu Shurui was just jealous of Gu Lanzhi. He was jealous that everyone liked Gu Lanzhi. He and Gu Lanzhi didn't have any deep hatred, and they had a good relationship when they were children.

Now that he has come to his senses and realized his mistakes, Gu Shurui naturally wants to make up for them.

But Gu Lanzhi frowned after hearing what Gu Shurui said, "What do you want to do?"

"Nothing, I haven't figured out what to do yet!"

"Gu Shurui, you are the only blood of my third uncle. Although I said before that I would punish you and your mother, I will not really take your lives.

I don't care what you have planned, but one thing is, you must not do anything rash or stupid. "

Gu Lanzhi wanted to use Gu Shurui to break off the engagement with the fifth prince, but he couldn't bear to see anything happen to his uncle's only son.

Uncle Gu was very good to the original body, and the original body also liked his uncle very much, so Gu Lanzhi could not really hurt Gu Shurui.

What Gu Lanzhi wanted from the beginning to the end was to let Gu Shurui follow his own wishes and marry the Fifth Prince. In this way, Gu Lanzhi would be free and she could have the best of both worlds.

But what Gu Shurui said just now made Gu Lanzhi feel very uncomfortable. He felt for no reason that Gu Shurui was going to play a cruel game.

After hearing what Gu Lanzhi said, Gu Shurui smiled, and smiled happily.

Ever since Gu Lanzhi returned to Kyoto, Gu Shurui had never looked Gu Lanzhi in the eye frankly, but after Gu Lanzhi finished saying these words, Gu Shurui smiled at his third brother very naturally.

"Brother, I'm only seventeen years old. I haven't lived enough. I don't want to die!"

With Gu Shurui's words, Gu Lanzhi felt relieved, but he still said seriously: "Do what you say."

Gu Shurui smiled and nodded to Gu Lanzhi, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Lanzhi changed to the way he looked before he went to the battlefield.

People are so fickle and unpredictable, and it only takes a few words to resolve past grudges.

Gu Shurui didn't know what Gu Lanzhi was thinking, but Gu Shurui himself had completely let go of his jealousy and prejudice towards Gu Lanzhi.

"Come to me if you need any help." Gu Lanzhi rocked in the rocking chair and looked at Gu Shurui.

Gu Shurui smiled and nodded to Gu Lanzhi, then turned and walked out of the yard, saying as he walked: "You're already so badly injured, why are you still worrying about it? You should just take good care of yourself!"

"Hey!" Gu Lanzhi chuckled and watched Gu Shurui disappear in his yard.

"Brother, have you forgiven Gu Shurui?" Gu Jingcheng waited until Gu Shurui left the yard before speaking to Gu Lanzhi.
